r1HE football season must be
approaching. We were talk
- ing to University of
Illinois alumnus the other day and
he was full Of grid dope. Who's
your Red Grange this year?" we
asked.
He wasn't sure, but said, you
had better watch a youth by the
name of Stewart"
Now If this dope about Stewart
is correct we will claim some credit
for the Hoosier State. Stewart is
a six-footer, who weighs around
$50 pounds-corn-fed from Battle
ground, Ind.
Mike Tobin, publicity director,
probably will find another Grange,
anyway, No use worrying about it
until Mike gets busy on his trusty
typewriter.
1t begins to look as though
there will be more "appIesauce"
than ever this year. Reports are
to the effect that the American
apple crop is the largest in his
tory. This should be great
season for the publicity boys,
who like to spread it on.

That was a tremendous crowd
at Broad Ripple Thursday night.

ty contest in connection with
the meet.
TN1 EGINA RIES, local girl, fin
TX ally got Gin the swim" on
IL Thursday night. Although
she had paid her entry fee on
Wednesday and had a good chance
to place in a couple events she
couldn't get in"
Some Of the officials became so
impressed with their own inn
portance that Regina couldn't
cross the little rope to get with
the rest Of the contestants, al
though she had on her bathing
suit. She became disguised finally
and quit trying.
There are always too many Of
f1cials around that do nothing but
wear ribbon and strut their stuff.
r7NOTHER highly success
al full swim meet has been
IL staged by Paul r. Jordan.
1t is a habit with that gentle
man. Indianapolis may be an
inland city, but it "goes" for the
aquatic sport. Maybe that's just
the reason--because the people
here want to see something diff
ferent. Broad Ripple pool Is
about the largest body of water
some of the folks ever looked
at. One thing is certain-nO-
body ever looked at a girl. go

Lincoln fields, the new Chicago
track. is being CALLED the fast
est racing strip in the United
States. 1t is likely that Ameri-

meeting is over. On Thursday

dazzling time of 1:56. That's
within three-flfths second of the
American record of Cherry Pie.
They're going to fall. Watch
