at Recent Meet
Continued from page ~
l.. A. Man Is Honored

Southern California was honored
by the election of Harry S. Mason,
president of the Los Angeles club,
to the position of district governor,
succeeding Paul Rieger. Mr.. Riegcr
was presented with Il fine library
of books as a token of the esteem in
which he is held by his fellow Ro-
tarians, and one of the interesting
features of the gift was the fact
that one volume came from each one
of the clubs in the district, and on
the flv-leaf where an appropriate
inscription had been placed, the pres
ident of each club had signed bis
name.
Among the splendid entertain
meGt features was a motor trip
made by some 250 machines to Pal0
Alto where q luncheon was givan
the Rotarians by the Leland Stan
ford University. An organ recital
in the memorial chapel, and 4 con
cert by the men S glee club in mem
orial hall were features of this trip.
a big theatre party in San Jos,
proved delightful, and special filn
showing the remarkable work done
for crippled children by the Sacra-
mento club occupied an outstanding
place on the program. A pageant in
which hundreds of the San jose
college girls danced was beautifully
given, while the governors $ ball Sat
urday night was fitting climax
for the brilliant three days.
The Southern California delega-
tion made the trip from Los An
geles on the Rotary special train,
and on the return trip stopped at
Santa Cruz to see the, big trees and
had a four hour motor trip over
the. famous II mile drive from Del
Monte.

Cattle Shipment
From Merced Is
Believed Cause
Continued from page y

ANOhAlhh1N t"-p .
while incoming shipments of dairy
products are under the jurisdiction
of state and federal authorities.
The same provision is made with
regard to shipments of hay and
grain.
Dogs, eats and other animals
known to be carriers of the foot
and mouth disease must be kept off
the public highways.
State and federal quarantine was
imposed upon MERGED county Mt once,
and today upon recommendation of
G. II. Hecke, state director of agr-
culture, Gov. Richardson was eX-
pected to approve the quarantine
upon San Francisco and Los Angeles
counties. Contra Costa and Alameda
counties, in which the epidemic first
was discovered several weeks ago,
have never been freed from restric-
tion.
In Stanislaus, MADEIRA, Fresno and
Mariposa counties animal. products
NAV be moved and live stock ship
ped out provided such shipments
bear the stamp of federal and state
inspection and approval.
The situation III Merced county is
described by agricultural officials as
"'most serious.
4 largS force of inspectors is be
inc sent there and will be distribut-
ed throughout the range country and
among the dairy farms to enforce
quarantine measures and watch for
outbreaks of the disease.
Washington Apprised
The department of agriculture at
Washington has been apprised in
detail of the new outbreak and See
retary Wallace has promised Direc-
TO Hecke every assistance at his
command to the fight the plague.
The new outbreak will cause Il
shortage of funds more grievous
than existed during the initial ap-
pearance of the disease when half
million dollars was underwritten by
state bankers to aid the state in
financing the fight.
1t was estimated at that time that
a half million dollars was barely
enough to "get by' and it appear,
ed that if the extent of the new out
break iustifies the fears of those in
touch with the situation, an equal
sum will be needed.
Slaughter of infected animals is
expected to begin in a day or two,
or as soon us needed supplies for the
work can be transferred from Ala
media and Contra Costa counties to
the center of the new infection. The
exact number of cattle, hogs, and
sheep to be slaughtered has not yet
been definitely determined, but has
cen set approximately at $4,000.

chicago's Little Kicker Ties
Game in Last Thirty
Seconds

CHICAGO, Oct. 27.-He il perhaps
the smallest backfield player in the
Western Conference, but every
ounce Of him Is pure grit. Anyway.
that's. how Chicago University sizes
up little Bob Curley, whose praises
are being sung today because he
saved the Maroon from defeat by
Chic State by kicking a field goal
In the last thirty seconds.
Ordinarily a field goal is not a
particularly difficult feat. But the
enc Bob Curley booted was. 1t was
from the 19-yard line and had 10 be
lifted skillfully to get 1t over the
bar.
Chicago was up against it with
eight yards to make on the fourth
down. A touchdown and q victory
seemed out of the question. But q
field goal would tie.
Alon7o Stage. Chicago.s great
coach, having firm confidence in the
little fellows courage. put Bob Cur.
ley to the test. sending him in az
g. substitute kicker.
A tremendous roar from 6O.OOO
threats shook the sky when that
oval sailed over the bar. And It stiIl
echoes.

tered next Sunday at American

one of the toughest to face a WASH

Hank Hendricks, Ed Lynch and
Ike Dreifus were the Mohawks'
backfield stars In their victory over
Fort Humphreys. Hendricks scored
two touchdowns and tore off
healthy gains consistently, Lynch,
who is former Catholic Univer.
sity star, ran around the soldiers
ends for numerous long gains.
Dreifus was good for gains when
they were most needed.
The champion Hawks showed
great improvement over their other
performances this season.

There comes along once in a while
Grange, Gipp or an Oliphant to
challenge the superiority Of the
Thorpes and Coys and Mahans and
Hestons as rushing back, but the
supremacy Of Charles Brickley as a

Good men in the realm of kicking,
both punting and drop kicking,
come and go, but drop kicker no.
body ever was or has been in
Brickley's class.
Fielding Yost declared Kipke the
greatest kicker. He had in mind
punting and spoke Of Kipke's ac.
curacy, though old-timers who saw
and reveled in the skill Of Eugene
Richards, Frank Butterworth, Alex
Moffat, Billy Bull, Pat O'Dea,
George Brooke, Johnny Baird, and

berger, OF Chicago; Ledyard Mitch.
ell, Sheerer-the last two two of
the best place Hackers in modern
recollection--won't submit without a
protest.
However. there have been many
splendid punters. but there has
been but one Brickley. He short.
ened the field to seventy yards.
The sO.yard line was as far as
Harvard had to go to be sure of
points.
Last year Rutherford, Of Virginia
Poly, dropkicked three field goals
