Believe This or Not,
Here's the Yarn For
You to Read

There's a story told concern
ing a golf shot made. at Palm
Beach that equals anything ever
heard Of on the links. It has to
do with a shot made by Edward
Kennedy, of Boston. Kennedy's
ball, when driven from the
eighth tee, struck the roof Of a
cottage, bounced to the drain
pipe on the roof and rolled
through the pipe half way round
the house, then down and out to
a good spot on the fairway,
where the player had a good
lie from which to make his Sec
ond shot.

The decision Of Charley Paddock
to compete for Southern California
in the Penn relays and the applica-
ton Of the coast university for
membership in the I. G. A. A. A.
are taken as an indication that the
sprinter also intends to compete at
Franklin Field in the intercollegi-
ates.
The refusal of Paddock to COM
pete in the East last summer after
his wonderful sprinting perform
ances on the Coast and in Hawaii
caused much caustic criticism in
the East.
This criticism, together with the
fact that the A. A. U. officials held
up Paddock's records, has aroused
the sprinter to come East and show
that he can run as fast as he says
he can.

It is a fairly long shot, but long
shots have gone over about as con-
eistently in the championship series
as so-called sure things.

figured the teams to be so closely
matched that the one In better
form for the day would triumph.
1t so happened that both teams
were in fine fettle but one lad on
theN Western quint was in particu-
larly rare form. His name is Gar.
Der. He plays forward. He shot
goals from the foul line like Willie

After this he made five In eight

over Eastern Besides scoring four
teen points in eighteen chances at
the foul line, he chucked one field
goal.
Both teams passed well, Western
a bit better, perhaps, than Eastern.
Westerns pet sin, blowing snow
birds, was committed again.
So was Eastern's, viz, playing
roughly and giving the foe frequent
shots from the foul line.
It was a close game all the way
and thoroughly enjoyed by the live.

more than four points to the good.
It was the only game of the series
in which no long heave for field
goal was made. No player attempted
to distinguish himself at the expense
of teamwork.
There was only one outstanding
star. His exhibition of free tossing
was pretty to behold.
Central smashed two records in
crushing Tech, 43 to 25. It's point
total was the largest registered in
the series, and Don Childress set a
mark by shooting eight field goals.

In previous years, the track was
merely painted on the slippery sur
face of the floor. Infrequently
suecial banks Of clumsy steepnese
were installed, but they proved
rather q disadvantage than an asset
to the runners.
But conditions in the past never
have proved favorable for the com.

time in the events. This year, with
a track that will admit OF the use Of
short spikes, and all the turns
scientifically banked, the runners
will perform under the most favor

opinion that the Hilltoppers are stag
ing the most brilliant indoor meet
in Capital history. With Joie Ray,
Of the Illinois A. c., worlds greatest

unusual proportions.
Tickets are on sale at Spalding's
and at the Hilltop. but only reserved
seats are being offered. The installa
