And from David to Dempsey, from
Tamerlane to Foch, Firgils and near
Virgils have sung the praises of men
who have outreached their fellows.
men who have had the physical
prowess and mental strength and
that other unique something which
enables men not only to distinguish
themselves but to lead others where
others would not dare to go.
\ far cry 1T seems from Thermopy-
lac to the modern foot ball. but
among the heroes of either might
well be found the heroes of the
other. Coordination of mind and
body. great physical power. outstand-
ing personality must have charac-
terized ancient heroes just as they
characterize the heroes of the grid
iron who battle with all their ply
sical and mental strength before
gatherings that just as enthusiastic
caIly applaud the highlights OF ply
sical and mental combat as did the
banked tiers of the Roman coliseum.
Goettge Stands Supreme.
Two thousand years ago Frank
Goettge might have stood at Their
uouylae, on the steppes of Tartary;
might have struggled On the plains
of Marathon. A thousand years later
and he might have been leader at
Hastings or q little later one OF the
far-sung knights of a chivalric age
and worn either the red or the white
rose in wars when men fought al
most for the love of fighting.
But today Frank Goettge stands as
supreme in the field Of gridiron en-
deayor as he would have stood in
only a. little more heroic mold had
he lived In those other times. For
Frank Goettge flashes on the green
sward of the gridiron as only few
men have in the fields III which they
have elected to pit themselves against
their fellows.
Able to do everything in foot ball.
and do it well-mentally the type Of
man who leads-ioettge physically
is of the mold which shows by eX-
ample what leadership is. And as
such a perfect example Of the best
that any type of physical combat
offers. Goettge stood out yesterday
in a contest in which were gathered
athletes as able as any for whom
yestal virgins raised their thumbs
and won fame and glory for himself
and the organization Of which he is
part.
Victory Due Solely to Star.
To Frank Goettge the Marines owe
their victory of yesterday, and TO
ISraply Goettpe the Sd ARMY Corps

Twice Tn Shadow Of Gallows, Sen-
 tence COmmuted On Jinx Day

CHICAGO, July I3.--Out of tho shadow of death and into a future of life behind prison bars, walked Jimmy Smith, condemned murderer, today, Friday, the 18th.
 Smith was sentenced to be hanged July 27 for the murder of a cigar dealer, who resisted robbery. Twice Smith was within 24 hours of the eallows and twice he was granted a respite.
 In "msrderers' row. at the coun ty jail, Friday, he was writing a letter to his mother, who prevailed upon Governor Small to commute her sons sentence to life imprisonment, another letter to his wife and two children lay sealed upon his cell co;.
 Say, Jimmy, your sentence has been changed to life imprisonment exclaimed reporter rushing to Smiths cell to give him the first word of his new lease on life.
 "wha-at!" cried Smith, his face brightening "Oh, boy, that's re- lief" and he fell back upon his cot:
 Along the death row" the news that Jimmy has beat the rope" spread rapidly and congratulations from the less fortunate rang through the corridors.
 Jimmy didn't hear them. He was tusy opening a sealed letter, and unfolding another to add a postscript
