Nation Pays cts To Ruth Respe NEW YORK, Aug. 16 (U.R) On the night of Aug.. 16, 1948, when most folks were - settling-back after dinner, a hoarse-voiced re- puriei mouieo inio jne leiepnone "Dead .V cancer,. . 8:01." And thus was flashed to the . . . i . v. . i . . i t. uia uiivwui news inair Babe Ruth vas dead, dead of cancer can-cer at the age of 53 after a lusty lifetime during which he carved nis name into the heart of America Amer-ica with a baseball bat. . Tonight, one year after the death of the -Babe, the. baseball loving nation pauses to pay its respect to the game's most color-, color-, ful idol. A minute of silence will be maintained at stadiums .across will be dedicated in New York lust outside Yankee stadium, "the '. house that Ruthv bujlt" And, what's more important to the '--Babe wherever he is, a series of sportsmanship awards has been established in. his memory for boys and girls in 1,000' secondary - schools in the United States. The death of Ruth came as a shock to his public,; even thojjgh it-.was not wholly i unexpectfed. For weeks the Babe had hovered on the brink of death in skyscraper sky-scraper memorisl hospital on Manhattan's east side. . TbAppearlHere t t I M r -M-m. 'r .

General Robert E- Lee, that grand old - southern. gentleman and leader of Civil war days, must be turning over in his grav, S4dly Shaking his head and wondering won-dering what the world is coming to. ' No Dark Secret Although the war between the states is supposed to be a thing of the past and the people1 within these United States are supposed to be Just one big happy family, it is no deep secret that many southerners are still fighting the Civil war to a greater or lesser, extent. In fact, it is said that to this very day ' a southern , football coach has little difficulty firing up his team when it plays a team of "Yankees". All he has to do is tell his boys what kind of heels the northerners, and and especially the c a rpetbaggers, were during and immediately following fol-lowing the Civil ' war, and the "Rebels" take the gridiron with fierce, almost fanatical gleam .in their eyes more than ready to tear the "Damn Yankees" apart in the process of doing and "dying for dear pV Sewanee.

It is expected the show will draw the greatest. wrestling crowd in Provo s history. Tire match looks like a natural from every : angle.

Gypsy' Joe ha been packing them in Timp ball park and is No. 1 on the Provo wrestling fans' Hate Parade And last night, Gypsy xJoe didnt do anything to make him any more popular with the fans After giving Mayne a terrific go ing over in their boxing match, which was awarded to Mayne by Referee Roy Shane after Gypsy had mixed ; it up with Shane, Reynolds and two or three other people. 4.

Although the superbly-conditioned Gypsy Joe lost the decis ion to Mayne, largely because of his rowdy, Pier 6 tactics, he gave Mayne a bad time before it was over. By fair and foul means, Gypsy Joe cut Mayne's face to ribbons and at one. time the Salt Laker's countenance was masked m blood. In the semifinal event, a wrest ling match, Maurice LeChappelle of Montreakdefeated Tony OUvas, two straight -falls.

And if Meyer can Inject, a little of that world-famous world-famous Texas football spirit in his. northerners, . thev heavily-favored southerners might be in for a rude awakening come Saturday night., ' But, it still may be difficult to convince the people of Texas that Dutch is doing" the right thing by coaching ? team of northerners northern-ers even7 if they are called the "North", All-Stars only to differentiate dif-ferentiate them from the-l'South" All-Stars.. So ol' Dutch is going go-ing to have a lot to answer to when he returns to Fort Worth, Tex., thehome of Texas Christian University, next week. Guys havi Wwen shot in the south for doing less than Dutch Is. doing, ; From the looks of the things, the powers behind the all-star game got well mixed up, generally general-ly speaking.

Glade Steiner of American Amer-ican Fork was the principal snapper-back. Using Single Wing Across the way, it was Leo (Dutch) Meyer of Texas Christian Chris-tian who worked overtime with the Northerners, using Jthe single wing. In the two previous games,: the single-wing team has won both games. Spectators were of the opinion that if the North defeated de-feated South this year,- that team would have to score four touchdowns touch-downs to turn the trick..
