whether'he wants forward defense
this year that would compare fav.
orably with the great line OF 1918,
or a backheld with a plunging full
back who would make the loss OF
Julian felt less keenly. In other
words, Macklin has not yet decided
whether to play Blackjack at full

natural linesman. but he can play
the backfeld 10 perfection also.
II In probable that if the present
experiment OF playing ceryeli at

will be used at full on offense. and
possibly in the line on defense.

she be given trial against time.
That she might even approximate
the championship mark for the age
(2:0i l-2). made by her brother,
Peter yolo. is deemed probable by
some of the best judges of trctters.
While the 2:07 "a OF Native Belle
Is the best Official record by two
year-old filly. II nevertheless is true
that when Lady Wanetka raced
second to Peter volo IN his 2:04 IL

most good judges who have seen
both FLIES perform rate Volga
