Author Of "The Life Of Leonard Wood. ,
1t was at Fort Mcpherson, Georgia
that Leonard Wood made his greatest
reputation as an athlete. For two
years he coached the football team OF
the Georgia Institute of Technology
and played various positions. His
team lost but one game during these
two seasons. His Spartan physical
cOurage is illustrated by a football in.
cident. He received a deep cut over
the eye in a scrimmage one day. Dress
ing the injury hastily, he finished the
game, then went over to his office,
where, standing before a mirror, he
sterillzed the wound and took four
stitches In 1t.
Cleveland was finishing his second
term when Wood was assigned to
Washington, where he became one of
the White House physicians. The pres
ident took an immediate liking to this
bronzed, quiet army officer who knew
the Southwest like an open book.
Cleveland liked to talk with him about
hunting and fishing and especially
about Buzzard's Bay off Cape Cod,
where they both had sailed and flshed.
Wood and Roosevelt Meet.
In those days changes IN the admin
istratiOn did not affect Wood, ,.and when
Mckinley became President his visits
to the White House increased in num-
Der, for Mrs. Mckinley was an invalid,
requiring constant medical attention.
President Mckinley soon grew to re-
gard the competent army surgeon as
highly as had his predecessor.
In 1896 Leonard Wood, who now held
the rank of Captain in the Army,
medical side, met Theodore Roosevelt,
then Assistant Secretary of the Navy.
They we're introduced at a reception
in Washington, and before the evening
was over they had become fast friends.
This friendship was to last till the
great American passed away at Saga
more Hill. They discovered that they
had just missed each other at Harvard,
that they had both had the western fe-
yer and that their likes and dislikes
were remarkably similar.
General Wood today admits that it
was Roosevelt who kept him in the
service when he was about to resign to
take up ranching in the West. Roose-
velt insisted that the country would
soon need man of his ability, and the
two began planning their course of ac.
ton should war be declared. They had
virtually planned raising a regiment of
picked men before diplomatic relations
with Spain were severed. When Con.
gress authorized the raising of three
regiments among the cowboys, miners
and ranchers of the West Wood secur-
ed commission as Colonel of the First
Volunteer Cavalry and Roosevelt as
Lieutenant Colonel.
War was declared April 26, 1898, and
on May 20 the First Cavalry, better
known as the Rough Riders, left the
training camp at San Antonio, Tex,
for Port Tampa, Fla, to embark for
Cuba. Wood and Roosevelt had RET
cruited, drilled, 0fficered and equipped
the Rough Riders in 33 days, counting
Sundays. 1t was a great record Of
speed and efficiency.

RACING DRIVERS DRESS
LIKE ARCTIC EXPLORERS

The guiding of an automobile
around two-mle track at n speed
of from sixty to seventy miles an
hour requires both skill and cour-
age. But to maintain such n speed
for eight hours at stretch with the
mercury registering below zero and
in the face of bitter wind IL n feat
demanding the utmost in endurance
from both car and driver.
When n stock Essex set new
worlds record for long distance en-
durance by covering 3,037 miles in
fifty hours on the Cincinnati Speed
way. the three drivers, Tommy
Milton, "DaVe" Lewis and De Lloyd
Thompson, the aviator, were dressed
like arctic explorers. Besides their
ordinary clothes. they wore overalls,
several sweaters well padded with
newspapers, and heavy sheepsllin
aviation suits. Their faces were COW
cred by channels masks. while leather
helmets protected their heads.
Even this covering proved insuffi .
Ctcnt, however, and the men suffered
much from the cold. while occa-
sional snow nurrlcs added to their
discomfort. Facing n binding snow
storm at sixty miles an hour in an
open car is well calculated TO test
the courage OF any man. Az Milton
came into the pits at Cincinnati
during n sudden snowstorm, he was
asked how the flakes looked when
driving through them.
