"A real rival. perhaps, In the 200

Il shall aim for the 100 meters at
the Harvard Stadium and at Paris.
Every athlete to do his best must
set himself for a certain race. He
may spoil his chances at other dis
tances, but he Is in prime shape for
that one test. And I have decided to
have my fling at that race"
Thus Paddock states his readiness
to answer the critics who have said
! that he Is not the runner that his
records would indicate. Paddock

Redlands. April %, 1921, when the
coast flash set six records, no other
! human has travelled on foot over any
of the distances in the same time.
And yet Paddock on several other

So Paddock. confident that he is as

! knowing that neither Loren Murchi-
son nor any one else has ever touch

been faced with statements OF other

| their chief rival for honors. Last

| Of interest to note that he does not
| name Loren Murchison as his chief

! American sprinters. Paddock says

High School Seniors
Do Clever Work in
Deacon EntangDed"

The hanrfull OF people who saw
THE Deacon Entangled" at Howells
Opera House Tuesday evening were
highly entertained by the clever act
ing of the players of the high school
senior class. Ray Critchfield was
perfectly at ease as the Deacon
tied to the apron strings of his wife
and to the surplice of his parson.
Miss Claire Cranney as the Deacon's
wife, convinced one that good sense
may partly redeem a slightly irasci-
Bile nature; besides, the provocation
was great,-for there was the Dea-
con, David Haight interpreted the
part of Deacons Nephew with just
the proper degree of dash. The Dea-
cons daughter miss Winnie Critch-
field and the Doctors daughter
miss Verona Barry were charming
young ladies in spite of shortcom
ings on the part of parents. A dis
tinct odor of birthstone made itself
felt on every appearance of DR.. Sui
phur (William McBride), who insis-
ted on discussing the new pipe or
gan and foreign missions on occa-
sions opportune and otherwise
mostly otherwise. Sulphur may be
regarded as caricature, and he is,
so far as the typical member of his
profession is concerned; but in real
life / have seen few parsons fully
as twisted. Bill has played in sew
eral roles before, but this was his
first real acting. Myrthen Elliott
gave a good representation of Mr..
Baxter, young male of the species.
Nelson Smith appeared a couple OF
times as an officer of the lava Mr..
Rafferty,. 1t was pleasure to see
Miss Alverda Wilson in her favorite
role as niaid-a part which she
plays remarkably well.
The production gave evidence of
talent on the part Of all the players
and Of intelligent coaching on the
part OF the director, Mrs. Maude M.
Clark
In spite of the occasional use of
an antediluvian device (such as the
i'm worn sitting g-on-a-needle
incident) the play was one Of genu-
inc merit.
