GUY NC KINNEY
HANGS Up new
TRACK RECORD.

PHOENIX, Nov. "a R)-Guy Nc
Kinney, greatest money winner of the
harness tracks, owned by the Han

tered the record time for four year
olds when the trotted the mile, on the
track at the Arizona state fair grounds
here, in 1;58%, clipping three-fourths
of a second from the old mark of
1:59R. The latter mark was estab-
liSlled here just two years ago by Mr..

Tom Berry, trainer, drove Guy Nc
Kinney in his marvellous exhibition of
speed, which was officially credited
by the American and National Trot-
ting associations, whose representa-
tiveS presided over the Thanksgiving
matinee racing meet.
Guy McKinney's performance served
as magnificent climax to a program
of three races which saw four records
of various kinds toppled and some OF
the fastest and closest heats ever to be
paced and troGted on either the local

TO CHALLENGE
FOR DAVIS CUP
TENNIS TROPHY

NEW YORK, Nov. "a tH9-The
United States will challenge for the
Davis cup in the American zone next
year in an endeavor to regain the
trophy emblematic of the worlds
team tennis championship, the Davis
cup committee of the United States
Lawn Tennis association decided to-
night.
This action, calling for the playing
OF the preliminary rounds, will be
presented to the executive committee
of the association for approval next
month, and with their consent the
1928 challenge will be forwarded to
France before January 81, when
entries close under the new reguia-
tionS.
Careful consideration was given to
the question as to whether the United
States should challenge in the Amer
lean or European zone. Heretofore,
that phase has never arisen, as the
establishment of the two zone system
of play took place after the United
States won the cup from Australia
in 1920. In the role of cup defender,
no preliminary play was necessary.
Now France occupies this position.
Several factors entered into the
Econclusions of the Davis cup COM
mittee. If the team was TO play
in the European zone, it would prob
ably require sending players abroad
the latter part of March, as the first
round is expected to begin about
May / and a reasonable training
period on the other side would be
necessary. On the. other hand,
American zone play need not begin
before May and if the United States
won here, it would not be ASquired
to proceed to Europe before June.

sCoRELEss TIE IN UTAH

SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. "a (P-
University of Utah and Utah Agri-
cultural college football teams battled
to scoreless tie here today before
the largest crowd that ever witnessed
an athletic contest in the state. 1t
was the annual classic contest, bring
ing to close the football season Of
the states two largest educational
institutions, and the new stadium was
filled with 10000 cheering football
fans. RI
For the third time in the past
81 years the opposing elevens were
unable to cross their opponents goal
line, although Utah succeeded, with
the help of Is yard pe:1alty, in
getting the pigskin to the four yard
line, only to lose it on downs, when
an end run by Lawrence, star quar-
terback, was unable to elude the
Aggie defensive and was forced out
of bounds.
Utah's failure to score was due
largely to the defensive work of
Bergerson, giant Aggie tackle, who
broke through the line to
throw Ute runners for substantial
losses.

HUSKIES DEFEAT

The University of washington Husk-

Ducks goose egg in their Thanks
giving day gridir6n battle here today.
Washington won z to 0, after a Stub
born battle, which was scorelesS until
six minutes before the final gum.
The Oregon team put up, deter
mined fight from start to finish and
sheer exhaustion drove several Of the
webfooterS out of the battle IN the
closing plays.
Charles Carroll, stellar washington
.halfback, plunged over the oregon goal
line for the Huskies' lone touchdown.
Brix converted on the try for point to
make the score to 0.
The leather was in webfoot terri
tory most of the first period, but the
Oregon team stopped one Husky drive
IA yards from their goal line. The
oregon line showed surprising strength
in the onSlaughts of the heavy WASH
ington backfield
In the second period, the Huskies
came near to score after a relentless
march to the webfooterS' 6-yard line.
Flashy Louie Tesreau plunged
through center to lay the ball on the
goal line, but fumbled, and Williams
recovered for Oregon. The ball was
brought back to the Oregon 2O-yard
line and the ducks used aerial tactics
to get back into midfield.,
In the third period, starting on their
own 46-yard line, the webfooters
worked to within scoring distance in
enemy territory. but their efforts were
ended on Washington's IS yard line,
when Carroll intercepted and ran the
ball back to the middle of the field.

team will probably be college students,
in the opinion of the committee it
was considered unwise to ask them to
curtail their studies for tennis play
which might seriously interfere with
their graduation. BY entering the
American zone, several combinations
of players might be used in the
different matches thus effecting a
saving of time required of the Amer
jcan participants. 1t was also the
finding of the committee that after
supporting the two zone system as
Americas leading tennis exponent, it
would be u11sportsmanlike to desert
the play here in favor of Europe
as soon as placed in the challenger
role. Several other American zone
nations nave expressed the hope that
the United States would play here.
Assuming that America was to de-
feat such prospective challengers in
the American zone as Canada, Japan,
Cuba and Mexico the fact that it
would not be necessary to go abroad

June would offer another advantage

THE NAN BEHIND THE DEED!
WHAT has Colonel Charles
w Lindbergh done?
He has performed a miracle
and given this cynical, blase old
world the greatest thrill of it's
life!
He has covered his Country
with glory and made himself i'm
mortal!
But the amazing feat that he
accomplished in the air was moth
ing beside the glorious achieve
ment that followed it, the moment
he set feet upon the earth.
For then and there, before the
eyes OF the whole world, he gave
the most splendid impersonation
Of the IDEAL AMERICAN MAN
that this generation has ever be-
held!
No brilliant playwright could
have written that role for him;
no stage director could have added
a jot or title to it. 1t is not the
DEED, but the MAN behind the
deed, that has made an indelible
impression upon the hearts of
men and women all over the
world!
The Typical American Boy
clean, fine, courageous, simple,
efficient-and above all MODEST!
He has indicated American
youth! He has snatched the veil
from the eyes of the American
girl, and made her see the cheap
parlor sheik, the puerile little
'wisecracker" and the empty
headed Charleston-hoofer in
great white light.
He has set up for women to
