Jack Williams of Santa Clara is merely using a high tackle to down St. Mary's giant, Mike Klotovich. Jack is probably saying, "Beg your pardon, Mike." And Mike answers, "Sot at all.

Xsa M Ride With Death" HELLO EVERYBODY: Billard of La Salle, 111., is today's Distinguished Adventurer, and she wins that distinction as well as the well-know- n ten bucks with one of the most terrifying yarns I've seen in a long time. It happened in 1913, when Mrs. Billard was Miss Mary Blanch, a girl of twelve, and Mary says, "The La Salle papers called me a heroine at the time, and it was all quite exciting for a girl of my age, but it lost its thrill when I thought of my mother lying in a hospital in a critical con-dition, fighting the dangers of gangrene and lockjaw." You can sea from that statement of Mary's that there was tragedy in that episode as well as adventure. And it started with nothing but a common, ordinary buggy ride. There weren't so many automobiles in those days, and most of the streets were mere unpaved dirt roads. Mary's dad had bought a horse that had spent all its life on race tracks and was hard to handle when hitched to a buggy. It had run away twice, and Mary's mother didn't drive it any oftener than she had to. But there came a day when she felt she HAD to drive that horse. They had just moved Into town, and Mary was finishing a term at a little country schoolhouse three miles out of La Salle. Mary's teacher was coming back with her that evening, so Mother hitched up the horse and started out to get them. Mother hadn't been feeling well all that day, but she made tha trip to the schoolhouse without any trouble. They were all on their way to town, with Mary in the middle between her mother and the teacher, when, without warning, Mary felt her mother fall away from her. Mary Looked Around and Saw Her Mother. She looked around Just In time to see Mother topple from tha scat and pitch headlong Into the road. She had fainted. But that was only the beginning of a disastrous train of events. Mother had fallen out with the lines still clutched In her hands. The sudden Jerk on those reins, caused by her falling, frightened the horse. It gave a leap forward. "And with that leap," says Mary, "there started the fastest ride I had ever remembered in all my 12 years. "We were horrified at the situation. The horse was plunging along at a full gallop, and my mother was being dragged face downward over "I pulled and jerked at the reins until I brought the horse to a atop." stones and gravel, In a way that struck terror into my heart Tha teacher and I were helpless. "We called and screamed to mother, pleading with her to let go of the lines, but all our screaming was useless, for mother was In an un-conscious condition, clinging to those reins with a death grip while tha horse dragged her along." And, for half a mile, mother dragged along beside the reeling wagon, In imminent danger of rolling under the wheels, while up In the scat Mry and the teacher sat paralyzed with fear, trying to hang on to the swaying, reeling buggy. Mary says that buggy was running on two wheels a good part of the time. And at other times it seemed to be flying through the air, with nothing under the wheels at alL Several men along the road had tried to stop the horse, but couldn t do anything with the crazed animal. At last, at the end of a half a mile, mother's hands loosened on the reins and the lines were free. They got between the horse's front legs, and that only served to frighten tha poor animal more. The Careening Carriage Flew Down the Road. Still the reeling, careening carriage flew on. They had covered more than a mile, and now they were within a short distance of a narrow culvert. Just outside of the business section of La Salle. There were pillars on either side of it, and it would be a miracle if the crazed horw got through that cramped space without wrecking the buggy. The teacher was the first one to think of that culvert. She screamed to Mary that If the horse couldn't be stopped before they reached it they would both be killed. "And with her voice still ringing in my ears," says Mary, "she rose to her feet, stood on them for a moment on the swaying floor of the buggy and jumped! I shut my eyes as I beard her body hit the road, and thought that surely she must have been killed." And now, Mary was left alone in that speeding buggy. She knew that, somehow, she had to get hold of those reins that were dragging down there beneath the horse's feet. Just a little way ahead, now, was the culvert And even if the buggy did get through the culvert, it was certain to crash into something in the business district two blocks be-yond. So, while the buggy reeled and swayed, Mary began climbing over the dashboard, onto the horse's back. It was a desperate chance. Time and again Mary almost lost her holt in that precarious trip. The horse was slippery with foam and perspirat-ion, and only by bracing her feet against the shaft did she manage to keep from being thrown into the road. "I reached the horse's head," she says, "and the feel of my body on her seemed to frighten her all the more, and make her go faster than ever. But I got the lines from between her legs and started Inching my way back to the buggy." "I pulled and Jerked at the reins until I brought the horse to a halt," she says, "and it stopped just a few feet in front of the dreaded culvert A boy ran up to hold the animal, and I left the buggy and ran into town to get a doctor for mother. She was still unconscious when they brought her in, and to this day she carries, on the right side of he? face, the terrible marks of that horrifying experience." Mary says she's glad the horse and buggy days are over because well because she wouldn't want any of her children to have such aa experience. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.)

Endurance Champs CPEED, and plenty of it, was need- - ed recently when two Edwards-vill- e, 111., softball teams established a new marathon record by playing 1,601 innings in 21 hours and five minutes. To call the game softball would be sacrilegious in the eyes of thou-sands of players. Though it was a marathon. There's no arguing that point. The pitchers were Instructed to toss the ball in easy, and the bat-ters were expected to ground or fly out on the first pitch. Three pitches were usually enough to retire a side. Anything more than that was looked upon as unsportsmanlike. The lack of heavy hitting was evi-denced by the low ll score. Players all ran to and from their positions. It took only 47 seconds to play an inning. The nine runs each side batted in came as the re-sult of a few accidentally made hits past the outfielders, who played in close. The manager of one team had to quit after 7!i hours of play. He had to get back to work but only after pitching 500 innings. One other hurler was on , the mound for 900 innings. Then a re-lief pitcher saved his arm, if not the game. The game was played on four dia-monds, with lights available for night play. By shifting from one diamond to another, the players sel-dom had to face the sun. Sand-wiches were furnished during the game, and some startling retrieves were made by players who clutched a ham-on-ry- e between their teeth and a dill pickle in one hand. The previous record was held by two New Philadelphia, Ohio, teams which played 1,495 innings in 24 hours. All of which means very little. x , IJ a 5 ft I i 1 J ' i fa Yc "V v.-- v 5 LOG AMBERS ' ;ree Donovan between :; u tn unpleasant feature, '; aough to warrant censure !" tommission.

IN BEING named guard last season, Harry Smith of the University of Southern California merely maintained a tra-dition. Previous years saw such Trojan guards as Johnny Baker and Aaron Rosenberg accorded the same high honors. Under the Trojan system the left, nr nmnins. cuard leads the interfer- - ence. A fast, nard - running, hard - hitting player is need-ed to fill that spot and that's where Harry Smith j he of the un-usual name-ent- ers into the picture. Big, (weight, 207; height, 5 feet, 11 inches) fast and tough,! Smith is the answer to any Harry Smith coach's prayer. His defensive work with his blocking, for he is on a par plays in the center of the line. Only two touchdowns were scored against Southern California last year on run-ning plays. Smith's best game last year was played against the University of Cal-ifornia. Harry played 60 minutes of ball in true Frank Merriwell fash-ion knowing that his substitute. Floyd Phillips, was injured. The hapless Bears were held to two first downs, both coming in the lat six minutes and both of them on passes. This coming season will end Smith's college football career. But his record will live as long as those of the 10 other Southern California developed since 1928 by Coach Howard Jones. .Released by Western Newspaper Lnlon.l Two in Bargain You must ask your neighbor if you shall live in peace. Animals and Birds Are Accurate Weather Forecasters If you want to foretell the weath-er, watch birds and animals. It will be fine when swallows fly high, when bats fly late at night, when beetles take to the wing, and when morning chimney smoke rises straight up. Rain is indicated when birds fly low, when peacocks begin to screech, when crows fly up and circle around their nests, when spar rows become excited and chirp con-tinuously, when morning smoke does not rise, when cattle caper about and when donkeys bray. A change is due when dogs sniff the air, and if you see birds perching on the lower branches of trees a storm is not far away. The presence of cor-morants at the mouth of a river foretells a heavy gale from the sea. |
