weighed twenty pounds to the man.
the Whiting Friars battled the heavy
White Eagles squad to a scoreless
tie at the Friars field at Forsyth
grounds in the opening game Of the
Friars gridiron season last Sunday.
There is no doubt as to weight Of
the opponents was far above the av-
erage weight of the F'riars. The
weight of the opposing team made
no difference when 1t came down to
inside football as the lighter and
faster warriors of Whiting had TIE
edge on the Indiana Harbor crew
The first half of the game was
spent in straight football with the
teams battling in mid-field for pos
session of the oval with neither side
being able 10 gain any ground.
The second half brought the crowd
to the exciting point when the Friars
started to march down the field by
the means of some splendid open
field running on the part OF the back
field. The opposing aggregation
were unable to stop the Whiting
crew until they reached the ten yard
line. only luck favored the oppon-
ents at this critical moment which
happened TO be at the closing minute
of the game.
The game was featured by the
great work of the Friars line of
which Cross. Dheur and Littlejohn
were the shining lights in the Friars
line. Burke. Turner, Scarfieild. Carl
inski, Thissen also did good work
on the line. Gallivan's spectacular
open field work was responsible for
the most of the offense of Whiting.

HOW DOES BABE DO TT.

Fifty-nine home runs in a season.
The worlds record for Babe Ruth.
How does the Bambino do it? we all
ask. He himself probably couldn't
tell US, if we asked him. Jack Demp-
sey couldn't explain his remarkable
ability any further than to say that
ne soaked it to him." The high
brow scientists have had Babe up be-
fore them and put him through all
sorts ct test stunts. They've meas
ured his muscles and tested his eve
sight and calculated the power of his
wallop.
They've timed him while he counted
and recorded flashes of light, stuck a
lead pencil in every third hole in a
sheet of perforated metal, knocked
out all the "a's" on a printed page.
and all that kind of thing. And then
they tell US their great discovery that
he's the champion of all these stunts.
Sure, he is. He's also the champion
home-run slugger. But why?
Well, here goes for our unscientifc
guess as to the why's and wherefores.
First, the big fellow has found out
that ne can do it. Second, he goes I'D
to the plate with his mind made up to
do it. Third, he keeps his mind strict
on what he is doing. Fourth, he puts
every ounce Of power he has into his
swing. And fifth, he keeps that pow-e
er IN the swing all the way through.
He follows through; he doesn't pull
his wallop; and if he connects-toss
out the other ball, Mr. Umps.
We safety batters can knock a few
more homers ourselves if we will take
q tip from Babe. We know we can
prevent most accidents. Then let's
make up our minds to do it. Let's
keep our minds on it. Let's put all
our punch into the swing. And now
that we've started the swing, let's
follow it clear through. Let's hit
that old pill SO hard that we'll have
Ill the other fellows on the Job try-
ing to copy our style and working to
outdo US.

HEALTH IS ALL

AS Johnson said: "To preserve
health is a moral and religious
duty, for health is the basis of all So
cial virtues. We can no longer be use
full when we are not we'll"
Henry Ward Beecher put it this way
Half the spiritual difficulties that
men and women suffer arise from a
morbid state of health"
l once heard a wise man say that
most Of the violent radicalism of the
world could be cured with castor oil.
The mentally sick are also the phys
ically sick.
inns brings me up to an incident
which started this discussion. I had
been waiting to see a man, and when
went into his office he told me he
had just bought a new automobile and
that the chife reason he had bought
this particular car was because he
knew he could depend upon the agent
to keep it in good condition.
This agent inspects his cars regu-
larry each month and the result is that
his cars have longer lives, and the up
keep of them is less than almost anv
other car on the market. Furthermore.
the owners seldom suffer from an an
noyance and inconvenience of un-
timely breakdowns.
Because of his automobile experi-
ence this man told me he had been
led to apply the inspection system to
himself. He had arranged for peri
odical inspection of his body by
competent physician because he was
combined that what was good for his
automobile was good for him.
None OF US have any use for those
people who are so health-conscious
that they are dosing themselves for
imaginary ailments most of the time, |
but there is type of fool who is worse |
than these and he is the man who |
refuses to face the facts |
about his body.
