certain that the planes did not land
on their islands. No hopeful word
has been received from the other
islands.

the flight. First, that the chance

Lacrosse, a sport which is never

school, and call this city their
home, are taking an active interest
in.
Three of them are out for play

Two former Maroon athletes were
regulars on the twelve last spring,
playing in the majority OF the
games. They were Willis Clark,
football star, who is Senior this
year. and wilK play defensive po-

so was a member of the football
squad. Painter, who is expected to
bear the bulk of the Orange attack
as it's games are contested this
spring, plays an attack.
John Shappell, who was men,
Der of the Freshman lacrosse team
last spring, is out for the varsity
team this year, and is expected to
have mighty good chance to make
the first squad.
Alonzo Keller, also Sophomore,
is out for an assistant manager

to manage either the varsity or
freshman teams his senior year,
for which work he will receive a
Block S letter, the same as players
on the squad, if he is successful.
Lacrosse is the football of spring
time. 1t has all the rough tactics,
even the tackle, but it isn't the
same kind of tackle. but more of a
blocking process. The sport is ev-
cry bit as interesting to watch as
the football pastime. Twelve play
ers on each side endeavor to work
a small white rubber ball down the
field where it can be tossed in a
net, similar to a hockey net, for a
score. A lacrosse stick is used to
toss the ball, which cannot be
touched.

Mr.. LOmSki'S No Lamski And Can SlamSki
BY NORMAN Z. BROWN

The Pacific Coast believes that
Leo Lomski is destined to bring
that section once the homeland Of
champs-the middleweght crown
now sported by Mickey Walker.
Lomski, most boxing fans will re
call, is the young man who startled
the boxing world the other day by
outfighting, outboxing and out
smarting Tiger Flowers, popular
negro and former king of the mid
die boys
And the coast fans are so sure
that Lomski has the stuff that
champs are made of that they are
crying for a battle between the
IrishPole and Walker.
The western sector had heard of
Lomski before the Flowers fight
and those who had watched Lomski
closely, weren't much surprised at
his victory, am informed
Lomski used his head to advau-
tage in his battle with Flowers. A
coast friend writes me that, after
trying in vain to swap punches
with flowers for three rounds, Lom-
ski started circling the negro, fore
ing the former champ to miss his
left swings. Then Lomski would
drive a counter punch to his op.
ponent's body.
Back in the fall of 1925 Lomski
gave the pug bugs something. to
rave about. Bert Colima, pride of
the California fans, was spilling his
opponents right and left when he
tackled Leo. The latter put an aw-
full crimp in Bertram's plans by
seeking him on the well known but
ton in the second round.
While his opponents since then
have not been from the "400' ranks
he has turned in a nice string of
victories.
An interesting angle of his career
is the fact that he did not start
fighting in earnest until he was 20.
He is now "a. In his Tour years
in the ring he has been defeated
four times. He is married and a
daddy Which indicates that he has
adopted fighting as a business rath-
er than a pastime.
