A week FROM TOMORROW night.

of the amateur once ana Tor all. He
was far to good and too classy for
the best lightweight amateurs in
northern Colorado and those who at
tended the tourney said there were
some mighty fast boys.
Then another thing of which
Moore can well be proud-he won
the lightweight and welterweight
championship of the overseas forces
in the late war. 1t was in the army
that Bobby got his real start and,
now that he is started, his admirers
expect great things of him.
All we can say is-Mr. O'Dair you
may be a powerful slugger but be
careful that Mr.. Moore doesn't land
the first blow.
We come now to Lee O'Dair the
Salt Lake City Demon whose back
ers say can administer the sleeping
powders to Bob Moore before h ten
round bout, to be held ere on the
first of next month, is well under
way.
Lee came to Salt Lake City after
a long string of victories in ant
about San Francisco. His willing
ness to swat and take the Others
swats has won him a large number
Of warm admirers in Salt Lake City
and the Salt Lake City papers have
nothing but praise for the way he
has battled in local bouts. O'Dail
has made favorable showings against
Benny Garcia and other well known
boys such as John Hanna and Rex
Hogan. Like Bob Moore he packs
a mean wallup and almost anything
is likely to happen once he gets
chance to land a clean one.
In fact there is a lot likely to hap
pen in the bout arranged by the 10
cal fire department and the least
likely of all speculation is that thu
ten round fracus will last the entir,
ten rounds. II the third man ii
the ring doesn't raise and lower hi
arm ten times over someone's re
clining GguTc we miss our guess.
In addition TO the big head lin
event the fire boys have arrange,
twenty rounds Of high powered pre-
liminaries. They assure us that IT,,

chances are that they are right.

chance to test his power and ability.
He is not allowed to hide and be for
gotten. These chances to develop
personality and leadership come in
very neatly in later life and have
much to do with shaping ones car
ecr.
The merits OF the different depart
ments, and the possibility OF secur-
ing an all around education, have
been already set forth and need not
occupy the time OF this paper. But
suffice Il to say thai Wyoming en-
ploys a corps OF thoroughly reliable
and In many cases, really distingu-
ishcd countrywide known instruct
ors. who have always the good OF
tho student at heart, and are always
ready 10 lend him persnal aid and
encouragement. They are experts in
their line Of training and are not
selfish with their abilities. Each
student receives much more contact
with his professor AZ Wyoming. than
he would at a large institution where
he would be only an Insignificant
atom. among many other atoms. and
would be thrown upon his own de-
vices. to struggle along as best he
could. II is the personal element
that so often counts I'm education.

FOXY LAD HAD HAND IN

According to a report published
in a kemmerer paper recently:
Ney Geer, a local lad. figured in
the raid made recently at Rawlins by
in Chief Wachtel, of Gov
ernor Ross army and navy, some
times referred to as the prohibition
department, according to report up
on Mr.. Geer's arrival in Kemmerer
a few days ago.
Unknown to anyone. according to
report, the local boy vas given a
commission with the prohibition de-
partment by Commander in Chief
Wachtel. and turned lose at Rawlins
to secure evidence. Geer loked up
some Of his old friends in Rawlins.

them where he could get a drink of
the stuff that makes a jackrabbit
defy a bulldog. and his friend said,
without hesitation:
Come with mel"
Geer was led hither and thither,
and visited the Rawlins bootlegging
colony, taking evidence wherever he
went, unknown, however, to his
friend. who thought the local lad
was merely out for a time and salts

The members Of The Rawlins Fire

it comes to promoting top-notch box

they have arranged some bout for
the evening Of June 1st-in other
words one week from tomorrow

The two lads to head the main
event are no other than Bob Moore.

of Salt Lake City. Both of the boys
have won a reputation in the squar-
ed arena as being terrific swatters-
boxing q side line, to be used only
when absolutely necessary, and slug
ging a specially. And friends how
these two boys can slug.
Here is the good Jews received
from a sporting writer on the Denver
Post when he was asked as to the
fighting ability Of Bob Moore:
Moore recently boxed a draw
with Willie Hope and Hope has
beaten Paul Randall who holds a
decision over Jack Doyle and other
mighty good boys.
Moore is a fighter and Oh boy
how he does wade in and battlei
Moore went through the 1876 pound
class in the last d. A. c. tourney
with flying colors-winning every
bout over the kayo route"
Does this statement from a man
who has studied boxers for years
mean anything?
Is Bobby a swatter? Well we
would say yes!
And speaking of that recent ID. A.

a well known sports scribe wrote af-
ter seeing the Denver lightweight in
action:
Bob Moore knows more than any
other amateur who worked in the

STREET SALES OF
REPUBLICAN LARGE
over 900 COPIES OF LAST WEEKS
RAWLINS REPUBLICAN SOLD
ON STREETS HERE

Last Weeks RawIins Republican
had a circulation of more than twen-
ty five hundred and of this total
there were sold. on the streets Of
Rawlins and from the several news
stands, over nine hundred copies.
For years The Republican has laid
claim to the largest circulation of
any weekly newspaper on general
news value in the state and a recent
perusal of the record for stree sales
leads us to believe that this paper
has had by far the largest street cir
culation of any Wyoming weekly
publication.
According % the circulation state
ments published in Ayers Newspaper
Annual and Directory for 1928 there
are few weeklies in Wyoming with
total calculations greater than the
street sales circulation of this paper,
We draw IL conclusions from the
newspaper directory Just mentioned
which states that lnere are eighty
three weekly newspapers in Wyom-
ing and goes on to show that out OF
a total number OF publications list
ed there are but forty seven, or n
little more than one half. which have
made statements of even estimated
circulation. OF the forty seven
which have made public statements
OF circulation there are thirty five
with calculations less than the total
street sales OF last weeks Republi-
can
Much OF the credit for this re-
markable record should be given the
large number OF local lads who every
Thursday afternoon gather al The
Republican offices to obtain copies
OF the paper for sale on the city
streets. Every week from forty to
fifty boys are on hand to obtain the
first papers off the press and with
In n few minutes copies OF The Re-
publican are being sold throughout

Because a town OF the natur and

In less han n month the city of

never been thrilled before-in less

lars state tnat nine out OF ten per-
sons who are courageous enough to
enter a town the character of "Hell's

pale and nerve racked as the result
of their experiences as citizens OF
the town in question. Just what
these experiences are may only be

"Hell's Half Acre will be the live

of the dangers attending the life OF

THE POINT OF VIEW

College Professor:
Such rawness in a pupil is a shame
Lack of preparation in the high
school is to blame.
High School Teacher:
God heavens, what crudity, the

The fault, of course, Is in the
grammar school.
Grammar School Teacher:
From such stupidity may I be
spared;
They send them up to me SO un-
prepared.
Primary Teacher:
Kindergarten blockhead! And they
call
That preparation. Worse than none
