Borg, Sweden's champion swimmer,
is more fish than fowl" according
to Professor Frantz Meyer, famous
physician of Germany, who recent
ly submitted Borg to an examin-
alton.
Whereas the lungs of an average
person do not measure more than
a hands breadth at the sixth rib,
Professor Meyer found that Borgs
lungs are two hands breadths, five
and one-half inches.
These phenomenal lungs, coupled
with the swimmers slim frame, ex-
plain his success in the water.

Arsenal Eleven Passes Way to Victory Over Rivals; Blue
SWampS Bloomington; Washington Loses.

It's kickerS we're hurried and the
Red and White aerial attack was
wild.
Helms losses Passes
Technical had a young man by
the name of Helms who could toss
passes like bullet. Assisting young
Helms was an end, Mansfield, who
did the major portion of the job of
getting under and sharing the same
passes.
Both Tech touchdcsyns were di-
rect result of the overhead attack,
and as a matter of fact, all of
Techs gains were because OF the
same passes. Techs running at
tack lacked interference.
Helms crashed over for Techs
first marker in the third quarter
after a long pass and Mansfield
snagged another heave later in the
same quarter and romped over the
goal line.
Shortridge previously had defeated
Tech. 10 to O.. Manual and Short

q ANDE lett the conference
IL with the officials of the
LII Jockey Club in tears. That is
easy to understand, for with Sande
his reputation for honesty was al
ways paramount.
Earl Sande has "guts." He proved
that by his memorable comeback
a few years ago, when no one con-
coded a chance. Suffering an acct
dnet that resulted in eight broken
ribs, leg broken in three places,
and a fractured collar bone. Sande
didn't quit. He returned to the turf
to greater triumphs.
do not believe Sande is the
type to sit idly by and take an I'M
favorable decision unjustly dealt
with. The facts in the present rul-
ing certainly make it seem that
way.
1t might be a good thing for the
turf game if the officials in charge
were more alert to other flaws i'm
the sport than merely rough rid
ing in an effort to win.

bv him. Sande did nothing crooked.
He didn't pull his mount, had no
connection with sure-thing gambl-
ers. He simply tried too hard to
win and in so doing was guilty OF
foul riding.
Perhaps Sande did foul one OF
the other jockeys. However, it should
be punished, but not by suspension
for life.
IF Sande has done something
other than give his mount as well
as some of the other jockeys a
rough time of it, the public
should be appraised of the addi-
tionaI facts.

PUBLIC WANTS FACTS

F7IVEN hearing to offer any
evidence he had that might
cause the Maryland Jockey
Club to reverse it's decision, the Of
ficials of the club turned thumbs
down on his plea.
The only statement given out was
j. that Sandes story at the trial diff
fered widely from what he said at
the close of the race. When sum-
moned before the judges.
The public is entitled to a recital
OF both stories, all the facts in the
case. This would give them chance
to pass proper judgment on the dis
pute between the jockey club and
Earl Sande.
Unless the public gets the true
facts, it is going to be with Sande
and feel that he has gotten a raw
deal.
This feeling isn't going to help
the running game, now in disfavOr
in many States because too many
jockeys do not Away try to win,
as did Sande.
