Toots From The

and preparing refrigerator cars for
the lettuce crop from the Phoenix

be necessary to handle this sea-

KANSAS REMAINS
GRID CHAMPS OF
SANTAF FE SYSTEM
BY CHARLES ERICKSON

Winslow's fast shop apprentice
football team and winners of the
gridiron cup on the coast lines
were unable to wrest the system
championship honorS from the
Wellington apprentice eleven on
Thanksgiving day at the commun-
ity stadium in Wellington, Kansas.
Having travelled over 900 miles
to play this game, the local boys
were somewhat stale" and the
cornhuskers," by virtue of the
marvellous "lightin'" playing of
their right half-back, Gene Merry
man, who is positively nothing
more or less than Red Grange, the
second and who was at least 80
per cent of their team, won the
game by a score of 81 to 6. How
ever Winslow has something to
''crow' about, for when that dash
ing blonde, Paul Thornton, crossed
the goal line by means of 25 yard
guard smash in the early part of
the second quarter, the western
ers went on record as being the
first team to make even a single
score against Wellington on their
home field.
The Winslow gang left on train
No %, on November 23rd, and was
composed of the following:
Dan Hitchcock, Paul and Her
man Thornton, Harry Kemmis, Lar
ry Searle, Jack Pullins, w. w.
Baker, G. c. Cook, E. E. Holt, Robt.
Hansen, John and Frank Analla,
Robt. Pacheco, Santiago, Fernando,
H w. Peterson, W. C. Fertig (who
was in charge of the party and,
of course, yours truly went along"
Although the thirty-two hour jour
ney grew tiresOme, everyone was
in good spirits when they landed"
about midnight. Our headquar-
ters were at the Antlers hotel, and
the team appreciated the fine hos
pitality afforded them by their
hosts.
The following morning a tour
of the town" was followed up by
an invasion of the Wellington shops
which, by the way, do not near
come up to the standard Of our
local facilities. and then an hour
of good fast practice.
Before the game started at $3.50
p M, w. S. Tasker, master me-
chanic of the Panhandle division,
F. w Thomas, general supervisor
of apprentices as we'll as the Well
ington apprentice instructor, Earl
Woods, posed for snap shots with
both teams.
Some of the outstanding high
spots of the game, as witnessed
from the sidelines by, what was
said to be the largest crowd of the
entire season are as follows:
The whistle sounded and Dan
Hitchcock kicked off for Winslow
to the % yard line. After several
scrimmages on both sides. Yelling
ton worked the ball to Winslow's
25 yard line and then Merryman
carried the ball around right end
for the first touchdown, before
Winslow knew what happened, but
they failed to convert.
Wellington's second touchdown
came also in the first quarter when
the aforesaid fast man made 80
yard criS-crOss run.
The second quarter opened up
with WinslOw'S ball on their 20

ted would have undoubtedly scored
another touchdown.
The final score was 81 to and
the opinion of this writer is that
Winslow played a "One man" team
for without Gene Merryman, Well
ington would, | believe, forfeited
the system championship honOrs.
The right halfback is high man in
Kansas all-star state sprinting
broad-jumping and has several 9TH
er athletic blue ribbons" and re-
ceceived three offers to play pro-
fessional football this season.
A Mr.. Vandeburgh umpired the
game, while Mr. Mawdsley refereed
and the headlinerman was w. T.
Dauce.
AS is characteristic of them the
Meteorite boys took their defeat
good-naturedly and returned home,
all physically fit.
But none more disappointed than
yours truly, for it seems that l in
varibly attract the whist was the
matter" criticisms. At Belen, New
Mexico, the first bright remark
came from brakeman Joe Jordan,
about "Charley's team didn't do so
we'll against those Kansas boys

train stopped at Winslow and then

yard line Hitchcock gained 10
yards on end run, then John Ana
ALA made 20 yards on fake end run.
Winslow punted to Is yard and
held Wellington for downs. On
Winslow's first down a fake punt
formation play fooled the jayhawk-
ers and Paul (BulleD Thornton
made a guard smash and 25 yards
for Winslow's only touchdown. The
Meteorites failed to convert.
Merryman received WinSlOW'S S
kick and by his fast (and believe
me he was sure fast) cris-crossed
runs made so yards before Dan
Hitchcock stopped him. At this
point Searle replaced Holt. Well
ington missed field goal and when
the whistle was footed, which end
ed the first half, Winslow had
worked the ball up to their enc
mics 25 yard line and were going
strong for another touchdown.
In the third quarter Winslow was
unable to 'get going" and Yelling
ton scored two more touchdowns.
Credit for these should go to Mer-
ryman and not the team, for Wins
low held Wellington's line bucks
to a couple of yards, time after
time, for three downs and then the
Kansans would slip the ball to their
race horse" who, by the way,
seldom entered a scrimmage, but
stayed about four or five yards
back of the line, and he envarably
made the required yardage by an
end run, except when Hitchcock
could break through the line to
nab him While Pacheco, our star
right end player, and noted for his
feetness of foot, stopped Merryman
a couple of times, he took some
pretty stiff punishment Bobby
received very bad injury to his
left arm in the game against San
Bernardino two weeks previous,
but he was there" in every play
despite the fact that his arm re-
mained bandaged and the doctor
forbade his playing. That's real
nerve.
"The "jayhawkers" made their
third touchdown of the game in the
early part of this quarter after
Merryman made a thirty-five yard
gain, to within five yards of the
goal line, LARRY Searle got his
arm dislocated in stopping him and
had to be replaced by Holt, and
then bucked the ball over in two
downs Wellington also converted
by kicking field goal.
The next playing was all in favor
of Winslow, until they lost the rHll
on Wellington's Is yard line and
Wellington punted to Winslow's 40
yard line and recovered on a fun
BILE. After gaining Is more yards
by good pass, Wellington chalked
up their fourth touchdown via the
Merryman route, but failed to con-
vert.
Winslow, becoming desperate,
tried to play their passes within
the 20 yard line and the first one
was intercepted by Brothers, a big
six-footer for Wellington, who ran
over the line for the Kansans last
touchdown. This was the first part
of the fourth quarter
After this last play Wellington
kicked off to the 5 yard line,
Quarterback Herman Thornton re-
covered and on account of splendid
interference by the local appren-
tices and especially of Harry KEN
mis-, he made a keen 40 yard gain,
which was the only time that a
Winslow man "got away"

Famous English Poet
of Seventh Century

The earliest English poet Of whom
there Is any record was st. Caedmon,
whose festival is celebrated in both
the Roman and Anglican calendars.
He lived in the Seventh century in
Northumbria, the son of farmer, and
his poetic gifts were said to be Of mi
raculous origin.
At drinking parties each person
present was supposed to compose and
sing a verse. Caedmon was unable to
compose a line, and when the harp
was brought out he always fed from
the festive party.
On one such occasion when he was
lamenting his lack of poetic ability, a
vision appeared to him and inspired
him to write a poetic version of the
Creation. The manuscript Of this
work, supposed to have been composed
by Caedmon, is preserved at Oxford
Caedmon translated into Anglo-Saxor
the whole of sacred history. He be

the famous Hilda was abbess.

Sound AdUice GiOen
BY Ancient Writers

The old sanitary lews devised by the
Hebrews must be recognized by hygi-
enic experts, as based on sound and
scientific modern concepts, according
to DR.. Otto Bauer, physician at Jena,
who writes in German popular med
ical journal, Pierre Van Paassen COM
p1entS, in the Atlanta Constitution.
Humanity must often 60 back to the
ancients for counsel and advice. The
Mosaic sanitary laws are not the only
instance. How much sound advice, for
example, is there not contained in
Xenophon's Oeconomicus for the young
mRtrons OF our days who wish to re-
tain their schoolgirl complexion and
their slim, athletic fgures3
Xenophon writes of a man who told
Socrates how he had counseled his
wife not to use so much white enamel
for her complexion, to discard high
heeled shoes and not to dip too deeply
in the rouge pot. And he added: 81
counseled her to oversee the baking
woman as she made the bread; to
stand beside the bousekeeper as she
measured out her stores; to go on
tours of inspection, for it seemed to
me this would at once be walking ex-
ercise and gynastics. And as most
excellent gymnastic, recommend her
to knead the dough and roll the paste;
to shake the coverlets and make the
beds. For by so doing she would en-
Joy her food, grow vigorous in health
and her complexion would be loveller."
Socrates gravely assented to this and
referred somewhat contemptuously to
ordinary fine danes, painted counter
feits Of womanhood."

In all cases of requests for an ex-

any, of the tax due. Such blanks
may be obtained from the Office of

than six months, except in the case
of American citizens residing or

REVENUE COLLECTORS
MAY GRANT EXTENSIONS

To expedite the granting of appli
cations for extensions of time in
which to file income tax returns, Com
missioner of Internal Revenue David
H. Blair. has delegated to Collect
ors of Internal Revenue authority to
grant such extensions. Heretofore,
under the revenue act of 1924, appli-
cations for extensions have been adj
dressed to the Commissioner.
Extensions are granted in cases of
absence, sickness or inability to OBJ
tain data to make a correct return
with certain provisions. No extern
sion will be granted unless applica-
ton is made therefore on or before
the date prescribed by law for filing
the return. The applicant must state
specifically the reason for such re-
quest, which will be granted only if
the explanation is satisfactory to the
Collector. Illness or absence of a
particular officer of corporation or
member of a partnership does not
constitute, in itself, sufficient reas-
on for granting the corporation or
partnership such extension.
In no case will particular extern
sion be granted for more than 90
days. The usual time is from 80 to
60 days. Where a taxpayer requests
an extension of more than 90 days,
the extension may be granted only
for 90 days and the Collector will adj
wise the taxpayer that if he is I'M
able to file the completed return
to the expiration of 90 days, new
application should be made before
that period expires. In this way, ex-
tensions may be granted, in meritor-
