Termed the only living memorial to military mili-tary men, the Marine Memorial club In San Francisco offers congenial con-genial and lush club life to present and former members of the corps. Country Doctor Remains Active At Age of 90 BURLINGAME, KAS. One of the last of Kansas' horse-and-buggy doctors, 90-year-old' Dr. F. E. Schenck hails modern medical techniques tech-niques and the latest drugs but sadly recalls "the good old days." When the venerable old doctor was in his early years of practice here, bis use of horses often spared him some physical strain in an almost al-most 24-hour daily schedule. His team, he recalls, could be trusted to take him home without guidance. "That's one advantage we had over the present-day doctors," doc-tors," he maintains. "The team ,. would just head for home and I could sleep during the ride." Despite the weather, the hour or his advanced age, Dr. Schenck still will answer a call from any of the townsfolk. He has reduced his practice prac-tice considerably and should cut it down more, but. he says it's just habit for him to minister to the medical needs of the people of Burlingame. The habit is so firmly entrenched, in fact, that Dr. Schenck has become be-come an institution in this small Kansas town. Some of the people he has brought into the world are babies nursing in their mother's arms. Others are more than 60 years old. Dr. Schenck doesn't have any idea how many births he has assisted. "I do know," he says, "that I have brought the third generation genera-tion of some families arounc here into the world." A large man with good posture and firm voice, Dr. Schenck is partly bald but has a thick gray mustache. He keeps well posted on all new developments in the medical medi-cal profession, his medical library being considered one of the largest in the country. , Advancements in medical techniques tech-niques and development of new drugs will be responsible for an ever-increasing rise in the nation's health standards, he believes.

Pi COMETHING like 20 years ago. or u close to that spot on the calendar, calen-dar, Chick Meehan and N.Y.U. came up with one of the greatest football players the game has ever known. Slightly over 6 feet, weighing 205 pounds, he was a brilliant ball carrier, a smash ing blocker. forward passer and, above all, one I of the best kickers i that ever applied J shoe leather to a pigskin. His name happens to be Ken Strong. Barring possibly Jim' Thorpe, Ken could w. mule tuiagi well than any back I ever saw in ac- s. Chandler tion. When Ken Strong practically wrecked a fine Carnegie Tech team, a team that already had crushed Notre Dame, Judge Wallie Steffens, Carnegie's coach said to me that night: "At last I'Vi seen a back greater than Willie Ileston. Strong is the only back I ever saw who could run over one of my best teams, pass, kick, block and tackle. I've never seen his equal." It was about that time that Coach Gwinn Henry of Missouri wired me "I've got your All-America this year. Don't bother any more. Just Ken Strong. Forget the others." Recently I ran into Ken Strong again. Ken is now around 40. What's his job? Well, one of his Jobs is playing play-ing for the New York Giants. Ken isn't running, blocking or passing any more. "But I've still got the toughest Job in football," he said. Like Kicking an EeV "'I'm kicking." Ken ' explained. "Did you ever try to punt, place kick or drop kick this cigar-shaped ball they have today? It's a ball shaped entirely for the passing game thin and long. Compared to the ball we used to kick 20 years ago, it is like kicking an eeL "The old football was much rounder. It was easy to get your toe into it. It was easier to punt or to drop kick or place kick. It was far easier to kick off to drive one beyond the goal line. But today you have a target to hit that is about the size of a silver dollar and I'm having a tough time betting a kicking kick-ing shoe that has the proper kicking space. You need a square-toed shoe that can drive into the limited space the modern football baa to offer the kicker. "No wonder so many college teams have so much trouble getting anyone who can kick off or place kick. And no wonder there are so few fine punters left, either in the college or the pro game. Naturally the pros with their greater experience, experi-ence, have more good punters. But I can promise you it's a tough job. But I still hope to get a few over the crossbar or over the goal line on a kickoff, It's a good thing for me that I have all these kicking years to call on." Ball Made to Throw Ken Strong is quite close to being 100 per cent right about the modern football It was arranged for the passer. It is long, thin easy enough to throw but harder to kick than a hot dog or a pretzel. I've asked at least 20 leading college col-lege coaches why they used so many varieties of action on the kickoff such as placing the ball sideways. "We have no one who can kick off," is the usual answer. I've asked them why they had no first-class punters. "There's no one who can kick this ball," they tell you. Then we began looking back to the old days of football with its great kickers George Brooke of Pennsylvania, Sweeley of Michigan, Herschberger of Chicago. Brink Thome and Bull of Yale and one of the greatest Kercheval of Kentucky. Ken-tucky. "He was the best of all," Shipwreck Kelly tells me, "60 or 70 yards on a dime." Not bad kicking. The old game was packed with fine kickers, and one of these was Spud Chandler of Georgia, long with the N. Y. Yankees as a brilliant pitcher. Among the half-modern group I'd name Frank Reagan of Pennsylvania, Pennsyl-vania, now with the Giants, and Harry Kipke of Michigan. Kurry-up Yost was a great believer be-liever in the kicking game, both as a form of attack and defense. It was here his slcgan came along "A punt, a pass and a prayer." Baugh Can Kick, Too One of the best modern kickers is a lean, thin, somewhat aging Texan known as Sammy Baugh. formerly cf T.C.U. and now with the Redskins. Red-skins. Sammy has always been a great passer. He has been just as good a kitktr. He is one of the masters. Ward Cu3 cf Marquette, the Giants and the Packers is still an able marksman with the right toe. The best all-around kicker I ever aw was Jim Thorpe, who could punt, place kick and drop kick. , . ,V. m'J. , J "V, V - Quick Breads Take Little Mixing Time (See recipes below.) Tempting Breads There Is no aroma more appetite-provoking appetite-provoking than that tantalizing one which comes from the oven in which bread is baking. And what is more of a treat than eating the bread itself? it-self? Piping hot muffins add interest to the simplest supper; hot coffee cake is a delight to both early and late risers," while thick and thin slices alike as long as they are of homemade bread make su perb sandwiches for school lunches or late snacks. . Many homemakers don't bother to make homemade bread because they think it is a time-consuming procedure. Actually, it's far simpler sim-pler than mixing a pake or even cooking a vegetable, and the pleasure pleas-ure of it is so great, it's more than worth the little effort.
