For virtually II months in the year
for nearly 25 years Quigley had been
identified with some form of sport. He
is a foot ball referee in the Fall; he
is a National League umpire in the
Summer; he is a basket ball referee
in the Winter. and a student of sports
rules the year around.
Each year Quigley referees the Ma
tional A. A. L. basket ball tourna-
ment; every other year he works" in
the world series: for five years
straight he has refereed the Yale
Harvard gridiron battle, and for IL
years he has dropped other matters
and rushed back to Kansas to preside
over the Thanksgiving day game be-
tween the College of Emporia and
Enporia State Teachers College.
In between he works Missouri Val.
ley and Big Ten Conference foot ball
games, and usually has time left to
work in one or two other eastern en-
gagements.
Quigley's methods are unique. Gen.
tie and soft-spoken, he is the antithesis
OF the popular conception of an

Erskine Six Makes
Unusually Fast Run

Word Of an exceptionally fast run
in an Erskine Six over difficult roads
from Huntington Park, Calf. to
Salt Lake City, Utah, has just been
received by the Bismarck Motor
company, local -Erskinc
dealer. The Erskine covered the
778 miles in the elapsed time of 81
hours, As minutes. It was driven by
V. w. Kimball and G. A. Koepscll,
dealers in Huntington Park. The
car was strictly stock model; it's
time was checked bp Western Union.
"The speed made by the Erskine
on this run is typical Of its ability
to make fast time over all kinds of
road conditions" said Chris Bertsch
of the local company. "The Erskine's
riding comfort. and the way
it hugs the road at high speed, has
been the subject of enthusiastic COM
ment from every driver who has
handled the car. Excellent chassis
balance and the long springbase, to-
falling more than four-fifths of the
arc responsible for this
Ugh degree of roadability."
