ONE EYE ONLY, BUT CAN GOAL
Remarkable Football Player Found at
Georgia Tech in Person OF
Captain Fincher.

Coach John Heisman of the Georgia
Tech football team, the so-called
Golden Tornado" has been RESPONSE
BILE for many freak plays and players
of unusual attainments. This year,
however, he introduced to the football
public rather remarkable football
player. He is Capt. Bill Fncher, left
end, wonderful tackler and Americas
greatest kicker Of goals from touch
down.
The most remarkable thing about
Fincher is that he possesses only one
eye, being absolutely unique in this re-
spect in big college football. Though
Fincher is handicapped by the loss of
an eye, he still is accurate enough to
have kicked 154 goals from touchdown
out of 1853 trials in three years Of foot
ball.

ROWING OUTLOOK NOT BRIGHT
Coach Jim Rice Predicts 1t Will Be at
Least Year Before Normal Con-
ditions Are Resumed.

Jim Rice, formerly coach of the Co
lumbia university crews, who is hiber-
mating in New York, thinks that it will
take at least year to get back to any
thing like a normal basis in rowing,
and he does not expect to see any of
the big regattas at Poughkeepsie or
New London until 1920. Judging by
the action of the basketball league in
deciding not to play championship
series this year, one is inclined to
think that. Rice has stated the case
properly.
There will be rowing at the colleges
next spring, according to Rice, but it
will be on q more or less informal
scale, with all races limited to two
miles or Whereabouts. This will make
for smaller expenses, will call for less
material and will do away with many

when next season comes around, Tor
only three Of the Yankees who have

them are second-string players. me
former Yankees now known to be on

In 1S4S Sir Arthur Garrod proved
that in govt also true in rheumatism)
there is deficient elimination on the

Prof. III. Strauss attributes equity

where there is an abundance of uric

Before the attack of govt or rheu-

rheumatic conditions, such as lumbago,
pain in the back of the neck, or sciatica.
As Prof. Strauss says, The excretion
