AN OLD STORY RE-TOLD.

Said the late lngersoll to the great
DR.. Buckley: 81 send you some of
the most wonderful whiskey that
ever drove the skeleton from the
feast or painted landscapes in the
brain of man. 1t is mingled souls
of wheat and corn. In it you will
find sunshine and shadows that chase
each other over the billowy fields,
through the breath of June, the carol
of the lark, the dew of The night,
the wealth Of the summer, autumns
rich content, all golden and imprison-
ed light.
Drink it and you win hear the
voices of men and maidens singing
Harvest Home, mingled with the
laughter of children. Drink it and
you will feel within your Blood the
starred dawn, dreamy, tawny dusks
Of perfect days. For forty years
this liquid has been within the slaves
of oak, longing to touch the lips Of
man."
DR.. Buckley's reply was;
Il send you some of the most
wonderful whiSkey that ever brought
a skeleton into the closet or painted
scenes of lust and bloodshed on the
brain of man. 1t is the ghost of
wheat and corn, crazed by the loss
of their natural bodies. In it you
will find transient sunshine chased
by a shadow as cold as an Artic
midnight in which the breath of June
grows icy and the carol of the lark
gives place to the foremoding cry of
the fever. Drink it and you wiz
have woe, sorrow, ba6bling and
wounds without cause; your eyes win
behold strange women, your heart
will utter perverse things. Drink it
deep and you shall hear the voice of
demons shrieking, women wailing
worse than orphaned children
mourning for the loss of their father
who still lives. Drink it deep and
long and serpents will hiss in your
ears, coil themselves about your neck
and seize you with their fangS; at
last it biteth like a serpent and
stingeth like as adder. Forty years
this liquid death has been between
slaves of oak, as harmless as pure
water. I send it to you today that
you may put an enemy in your mouth
to steal away your brains, and vet.

ANENT GOOD ROADS.

Senator A. b. David of Gordon
County is highly in favor of a state
bond issue for the construction of a
system of State Highways as desig-
mated by the present State Highway
map.
Senator David says ne will support
bond issue that can be retired by
the automobile license fees and gaso-
line tax, but that there must not be
en- a shadow Of any increase in the
present tax rate. Pooling the above
funds to retire a bond issue is posi-
lively the only way the citizens of
average age can ever have good
roads in their lifetime. Also it is
our only hope of getting the millions
of Federal aid appropriation to Geor-
gia for read purposes.
By the bond plan, the people who
own automobiles and trucks and the
consumers of gasoline would be the
oses who would pay the entire bond
issue. and they would pay no more
than they are now paying. The s.
500 miles of State Highway that
would be constructed would save the
owners of automobiles and trucks in
Georgia $l2,OOO,OOO0O annually in
less upkeep and depreciation of cars

1t is now more evident than ever
that all "the powers that be" in our

part of Congress that it is tie only

A goodly turnout of fans watched

Dillon's prowess, he is meeting a tough
%youngster in Gordon. Sammy is a
fool for work and went through the
equivalent of 10 rounds, boxing a

three with Marine Ranieri in addition
to his bag punching, o p skipping and
shadow boxing.
He worked hard all the way and
opened up on his sparring partners in
convincing fashion, taking them a
whirlwind route. Paul Bader, his
manager, is most optimistic. Il have

hitting harder" he affirms. He is
due to go into this ring right at the

eleven of Spokane, Wash, by a score
of 81 to 13, in San Digo's second

Both elevens resorted to forward

Virginia Intercepted a forward pass

Belt Quintet Finds
Geyser Easy Victim

Special TO The Tribune.
Belt, Dec. 25.-The Belt Valley high
school basket ball team scored rather
heavily against the team from Geyser
last Friday, winning 10 to 3. The first
half ended with the score in favor of
the Miners. they having made exact
ly 20 points while the Geyser lads with
one point just managed to escape a
whitewash. In the second half the
score was very similar. Belt making
another even score whilst the Geyser
lads scored three.
Forty to three seems a big defeat
but the Geyser lads put up a plucky
mid -floor fight. They passed in fine
shape but they simply could not find
the hoop. On the other hand the Belt
lads worked their way towards the
scoring hook and when they got there,
two points were almost certain.
No matter how plucky or clever they
may be, lads coming from schools
which have no proper gymnasium or
equipment are heavily handicapped.
At Geysar the place where basketball
is played has rather a low ceiling and
that fact inevitably and essentially in
terferes with their throwing baskets.
All things considered. Geyser is to be
congratulated with the prowess of her
representatives. while Belt on the
other hand has Il team this year which
will worry the fastest quints IN North

PROPOSE DUAL
TRACK TOURNEY
VERSUSBRIT0NS
Harvard Yale Team Wants
Meet With Cambridge-Ox
ford Next July.

New York, Dec. 25.-William J.
Bingham. retiring Harvard varsity
track and field director, who sailed a
few days ago for England received per-
mission from Yale authorities to CON
elude plans for the July track and field
meet in which Harvard and Yale ath-
letes will oppose n team composed OF
Oxford and Cambridge men. Bingham
will strive TO set 4 definite date for
the meet.
Preliminary negotiations were dis
'cussed with Capt, G. d. Rudd Of the
Oxford team directly after the meet
in the Harvard stadium a year ago last
July. At that time the English star
broached the subject Of dropping the
hammer throw in subsequent interna-
tional meets and this has now met
with favor by the Harvard and Yale
graduate advisory committee. In its
stead Bingham will propose the adop-
ton of the 22O-yard run and the pole
vault, q suggestion that is expected
to meet with favor abroad.
Two Entries In Each Event
This plan. if adopted, will make an
11-event schedule and the arrange
ment will be that each of the combin-
ed teams Is 10 start TWO atnIeteS IN
each event, not necessarily from the
four different universities. The scheme
whereby the outcome of the meet will
hinge on the winners of the greatest
number of first places doubtless will
be continued with the team winning
the greatest number Of seconds being
declared the winner IN the event of a
tie for firsts.
Everything points to a Harvard
Yale commencement meet next spring,
which means that for the first time
in more than 40 years the Crimson
and Blue squads will not close their
season in the Intercollegiate. The
June windup will fit we'll into the sea
sons plans for the rival squads will
remain in training until shortly before
their departure for England.
Another point in favor of the late
meet in June is that the lack of suit
able early spring training weather at
Cambridge or New Haven need not
necessarily be Il serious handicap.
Also. the. later meet will keep many
candidates in training who otherwise
would drop all athletic activities on or
before the last Saturday in May,
which annually marks the /. C. A. A.
competition. 1t is felt that during the
weeks of training after the intercol-
Iegiate games ii number of the better
prospects will develop into star per-
formers.

The big question in sportdom just
now is:
Does Jess Willard really want to
fight Jack Dempsey"
The once-time champion has an
nounced his retirement so many
times, then challenged so many more
times and then denied that he wanted
to battle again. that it is difficult TO
figure out just exactly what he wants
to do.
After Dempsey whipped the giant
Kansan in Toledo, and the big fellow
had time to think everything over. he
declared:
I'm through with the ring. I have
decided no to fight again. l went
into the game not because | cared
about fighting, but because | felt that
| was big enough to win the champion
shin from Johnson and restore the
heavyweight title to the white race. l
accomplished that purpose. | became
champion-and now | am dethroned.
All of which means that | am going to
quit the ring. for good and devote my
future time to my business inter-
ests.'
Changed His Mind.
That's the way the matters stood
for quite a few months. Then sudden
Iy reports came that Willard had
changed his mind and wanted to mix it
with Dempsey. 1t was said that he
felt that Dempsey had whipped him
more on Il fluke than through sheer
superiority. He pointed out that he
had not trained for the bout and gave
off the impression that the bandages
on Dempsey's hands had been doe
tored."
After a while, however. Willard
changed his mind again and said that
he wouldn't fight. But a short time
afterward he again challenged Demp-
sey. When everything was being
smoked up nicely for a return battle.
Willard jumped back into the shell of
retirement.
Something like a year ago Willard
renewed his program of hurting defies
at Dempsey. This finally decided
Dempsey that Willard actually wanted
to fight him and Dempsey expressed n
willingness to sign articles. Tex
Richard leaped ut the chance and sent
Willard a contract which would have
guaranteed Willard something like
S60. 900 for his end in such a fight.
Willard Didn't Sign.
But Willard never signed the ar
ticles. When everybody was wonder
