Eastern Writer Says Trivial In

Fathers and Mothers Unwilling 70 Per-

Because They See Dangerous
Side Of Game oniy,

We all know that football as a game
is attended with risks. II is a strenu-
Gus pastime. Injuries are incidental
to the sport. There Is no reason, how
ever says an Eastern writer, for any
college or school TO aCCentuate or eX-
Rggerate small injuries like sprained
thumb, a pulled tendon, cut lip or
black eye. There are many fathers
and mothers who are lOath tO let their
boys or their only boy" be tossed
around in a football SOUND, although
he may be an embryo star and some
day may have his name emblazOned In
college history as being a champion
athlete and 100 per cent student.
Often It needs considerable per-
suasiOn to get their permission to
have the hoy play. The dangerous
side Of the game IS always uppermOst
In their minds. In making their de-
clsion they should remember football
is a great developer 1t brings out all
the latent courage and pluck there is
In boy and Il helps to make manly
man.
Here is the idea Of one college press
bureau in bringing It's football news to
the 'front.'
Another player was added to the
injured list-guard candidate had his
nose broken In a scrimmage. There
are now five on the list, one suffering
from a kick in the jaw, one with an In
fected foot, one with an injured bncb
and another under the doctors care

Prize Winning Essay on

Baton Rouge, May 1.-The medal

best essay written by high school
pupil on the subject of the Greater
Agricultural College," was awarded

mind is sparing no expense to tempt
the greatest drivers in America to
enter the numerous events. With
purses amounting to six thousand dol
lars, it is confidently expected that
filed of star drivers such as has
never been seen in the South will face
the starters flag both days.
The first entry received by the man
agement was from the famous French
driver, Leon Duray. The daredevil
Frenchman is known to all followers
of the racing game. He has never
been seen in action in the South and
is working night and day on his fast
racing creation in order not to dis
appoint New Orleans fans, many OF
whom are of French descent.
Following closely upon the receipt
of the entry Of Duray, the manage
ment received the entry Of Louis Dis
brow, probably the best known dirt
track driver in the world Sometime
ago Disbrow abandoned the racing
game to open string of restaurants
in Chicago. The news Of the sensa-
tional driving of Duray, whom every
sport writer heralded as the champion
of champions, was too much for the
veteran Disbrow With the definite
purpose of defeating the Frenchman,
he has come out of retirement and
will drive an Essex racing car direct
from the factory Aside from enter
ing the big classic (the fifty-mile
derby, he has challenged Duray to an
international match race of five
miles. He has offered to post one
thousand dollars that he will defeat
the Frenchman.
Eyes of the sport world are turned
to New Orleans and in every state in
the union there will be hundreds of
sport fans awaiting the result of the
'fifty-mile derby" and the great
match race. Reports from Chicago
are to the effect that Disbrow is the
favorite at odds of seven to five.
While from New York comes the re-
port that Duray is the favorite there
at six to five. Very few wagers have
been made thus far as many are wait
ing to get reports on the car that Dis
brow will drive.
Determined to make the speed car
nivaI the greatest sporting event of
the year, the management has added
as special feature the most .sensa-
tional game known to sports as part
of the entertainment. On both days,
Saturday and Sunday, the All-Ameri-
can team will meet the Pacific Cost
Champions in a serise of champion
ship Auto Polo games. Auto polo is
unquestionably the most thrilling
sport in the world today.
Negotiations are also under way to
bring to the Crescent City for the
speed. carnival the latest sensation il
aviation. 1t is almost certain thai
there will be an exhibition of chang
ing from one plane to another while
both planes are in flight. Many have
seen this feat performed for the NOV
les but the actual accomplishment has
never been seen in the South.
On both Saturday and Sunday thu
speed carnival will start at p. m
and the popular price of one dollar ad
mission will prevail. This price of ad
mission includes all charges, boil
grandstand and parking space for au
tom6biles. There will positively b.
no extra charges.

Work Together to Take Fish.

The best example Of company fish,
ing is furnished by some of our North
American fresh-water pelicans. FIocks
OF 30 to 30 pelicans may sometimes be
seen fishing In tile very shallow wa
tiers Of lake shore or drying river.
They spread out in thin semi-circular
skirmish line in the water n few inches
deep and then advance with Tapping
wings toward still more shallow wa
ter, driving schools of frightened
fishes before them. Soon the fishes
are so crowded the pcllcans can wade
In among them and scoop them up in
the great pouches beneath the beaks.
Such dipnet fishing Is very effective.
