Bland Catlett departed Monday
morning for Ann Arbor, Mich, having
been called back previous to the open

practice. Michigan has a tough SEIZED
ule this fall. among her games being
one with Harvard. There is an un
usually large bunch of candidates for
the backfield and Bland said that he eX
pected to have hard work to hold the
position he won last fall. However.
the following mention in a dispatch to
the Chicago Tribune from Ann ArbOr
would indicate that he is pretty well
thought of: "Catlett, who played in
the backfeld last year, is a player OF
more than ordinary ability. He is "a
fast as lightning, uses his head wei
and is a hard man to spill"
There seems to be a hoodoo or jim

post office force and those who are

who fell from Alvin Johnson's racing
car, while occupying a p%recarious posi-
ton on the ga end. He was severely
bruised and was unable to work for
several days. Next Rural Carrier Kor
stad sustained a badly broken arm
while cranking his car, and Tuesday
City Carrier Walton, while reaching
into the ticket window at the Pleasant
Hour, fell and broke a rib. The jinx
was then ungallant enough to turn his
attention to the only lady employe,
Miss Della Gullick, who was STANDING
on a stool and reaching to a shelf
when she lost her balance and fell to
the floor, sustaining severe bruises. No
further casualties are reported vi to
the time We hurry to press.
