"Bob Sponsor" of Auburn Fame, Seems
 Forced to Retire
By F. 0, DAVIS

Auburn, March N.-(Special) )-In for mer times on both favorable and un- favorable conditions, the widely known true worth, but it has never struck a chord so tender as in the case which I am about to relate. It Is all about Bob Frazier, better known among Auburn students for one and a half generations as Bob Sponsor" the well-known negro physical trainer for Auburn athletes of all kinds for the last 30 years.
 Many well-known stories have been handed down from class to class at Lu- burn about Bob. On one occasion, when Auburn played Georgia in Atlanta, BOD failed to be at the train to return With the football team and. being broke, II was necessary for him to call on the Georgia boys for the necessary railroad fare. The result was that they boxed him up and sent him back by express.
 AN OLD-TIMER
 But for 30 years Bob has doctored spralned ankles, dislocated shoulders, fractured knees, charlie horses ana the many other injuries resulting rom football When he first began this serF- ice he treated men who now have sons in athletics at Auburn. Baby Pearce $ father was one of his first students Wherever the different athletic teaihs have gone, Bob went along. He IS known all over the south and he, in turn, knows the different members of the different teams for years gone by. and incidentally he has been of great assistance to Coacn Donahue in diagnosing opposing teams and thereby helping to plan for thelr defeat.
 FIRST AID
 But alas, poor Bob is no longer apie +o nerforno his duties Since the Thanks giving game in Atlanta last fall Bob mas been unwell. He is now in an infirmary in Atlanta, and the student body or Au- burn thinking that pr. John O. Rush OF Mobile should treat his case, are makins up money to send him to Mobile, where this treatment will be received Wiln .n. well-known Emmet Sizemore as their leader and Homer Wright as their treas urer. they are collecting funds with which they hope to restore Bob to nis usual health and are therefore demon strating in a practical way the meaning of the term Auburn spirit"

Unmotherly Ewes

From Farm Life. ,.
 Occasionally it will be found tnat eve will refuse to own her lamp, anu will butt and trample it and otherwlse behave in a very unmotherly manner. Sometimes this is due to lack of milk in the udder. Then. too, when q lam dies it is often found necessary 'o make it's mother adopt strange lamP which is usually one of twins or one whose dam has been lost. This may be done in several ways. The eve may be tied by the head with stake placed on each side of her to prevent her Jumping about. or the tail ol the dead lamb may be cut off and the blood rubbed on the back and head or the lamb and the nose of the eve. IT. other method is to skin the dead lamb and place the skin on the living one. This last method, though practiced by many Sheepmen, is clumsy and often unhealthful for the living lamb. The best and simplest method is to tie the eve to the feed rack so that she may lie down at ease, and let the iamb shift for itself, holding the eve for the first day while the lamb Is sucking. After week or so, and often in ,nuch less time, the eve will usually become the fondest of mothers.
 Should lamb arrive in Gold wealth CT and become chilled, it should at once be immersed up to its nose in water as warm as the hand will bear. Then 1t should be taken out dried and given a little milk.
