RAID V ta) Uturn EDGES TO RIGHT SIDE d, There's irony in this year's observance of Armistice day, the zero hour in 1918 when World war No. 1 ended. For the world is again at war, most of it hoping another armistice will come soon. In 1918 the end of hostilities brought delirium everywhere. At New York soldiers, sailors and their girls joined the celebration. Patriotism, at a Ttventieth century peak, shouted from every rooftop.

You may not like it. but still it's publicity. impossible. Football is being played at approximately 650 colleges, and less than 10 per cent of those schools have been represented on teams. ' It is obviously unfair to attempt the selection of 11 men out of the 10,000 and more who ' Wpy the game. Keglected Heroes Figuring loosely we find that be tween five and six hundred colleges foot have never had an ball player. It's just a bit to assume that those schools haven't had players worthy of the honor. Some of them certainly have had standout performers who deserved ' the rating. Among their numbers are bound to be equals of those picked, but in the narrowing down process many are neglected because of the comparative unim portance of their school. That's where the college publicity office enters into the scheme of things. Their job is to build up any promising candidate. His name must be known from coast to coast. Snorts writers are tareets for pub licity releases extolling the virtues of Lawrence (Call me Larry) Blap, Podunk college's sure-fir- e end. Some of the publicity in fact, most of it is perfectly legitimate. It cites facts and figures. At other times the publicity is mean ingless. Crackpot stuff developed with a "feature" angle.

That doesn't mean, of course, that the small college fails to produce its share of what should be players. It does mean that those potential gridiron greats are neg lected, except locally, because all too few people know of them or are interested in them. i All this is no reflection on the teams men who select They are usually conscientious and as careful as possible in their se lections.

The e time record was made in a trial. The oldster also set a distance competitive standard of 66.639. Chauncey Hamlin Jr. of Buffalo e raised the competitive record to 66.176. Zalmon G. Simmons established a distance record for the Gold Cup, or class, of 66.24 m.p.h. in driving My Sin to victory over the course. The country's two other leading inboard classes, 135 and 91, also saw record breakers. Among the 135 boats, John L. Hyde of Washington traveled 67.479 for a mile e trial, and 52.173 for the competition. Racer Arno Apel, Vent-noe N. J., ran the 91 mark com up to 52.894 and the petitive standard up to 48.361.
