Prior to the coming of the white pioneerss4 She Indians used oil for medicinal spur- poses. Historical researches have re- vealed that -emigrants along the old Oregon trail in 1849 found a petro- leum Spring" in Uinta county, and James Bridger, noted Wyoming trap per and scout, settled near the spring. naming his home Fort Bridger. He collected the oil and mixed it with flour to make axle grease. Later. in the 350's, Cyrus Iba, a pioneer of Gas per, discovered seepage of petro- ieum, called by the Indians Poison Spring" in what now is.the large Salt Lake field.

and was penalized four times. The
other team used six passes and was

with the usual penalties for offside,

''In a. game in which the pass is

TRACK SECRETS
When Warming Up.
By Sol Metzger

Nearly every time you attend a
track meet you will see the entries
in the races warm up a bit on the
track Just before they start. About
every one of them will jog with
an up-and-down motion of the legs.
The leading track coaches have
come to the conclusion that this
sort of Jogging Is wrong, and that
the runner, other than a sprinter,
should warm up exactly as he
runs-by taking long, easy strides
forward without kinking the
knees. This method actually
warns up-that is, makes pliable-
the muscles that will be used in
the race. Jogging up and down
does not do so.
