Gus, brilliant college play retold in
pictures and is coming to the Texas
theater Sunday and Monday with the
vivacious Dolores Costello taking the
leading part. Comedy and a love
theme both follow the plot through
the entire play which tells about the

football team for her fathers school.
She gets the men but a jealous
girl starts mischief which nearly
wrecks all the plans. One Of the col

in three years the next day because
the boys stayed loyal and fought to

manner contingent upon the amount

certify under oath that he has no in

affidavit disclosing exactly what his

Holding that the soundness of the
appra isal upon which a real estate
bond issue is based is the foundation
of the soundness of the bond issue
itself, the National Association of

The practice of having one appraiser

been empha tically condemned by the
association as unsound.

NEW YORK, Dec. 7.-"Gene" Tunney, speaking to the
boys of the Rverdale Country School at

lied as one OF the best addresses 10

Tunney said that the hardest
battle in his life was not that with
Jack Dempsey, or with Harry Greb.
or any other of his opponents, but
with himself.
This battle" said Tunney. sis
going on all the time in the con-
seriousness and in the conscience of
every boy. Success come only with
the development OF the power of
will"
Develops Like Muscle
He went on to argue that this
could be developed. just as muscle
and mind were strengthened,
through exercise. and to prescribe
exercises for the will. such as CIV
ing up something greatly desired
at the time. Instead of going in
out of the cold. for example. Tun.
ney suggested taking an extra run
or walk around the block, just to
show that the desire to be comfort
able could be overcome.
"Once a boy has decided what he
is best fitted for" Tunney told his
audience, "the will to win, when
associated with natural qualifica-
tons, cannot be defeated. Some
boys will meet with misfortune and
quit; others will continue to fight.
The game man never says quit
he fights back even when he is
down, and he is going to last"
Raps Bad Habits
Speaking to the younger boys,
Tunney warned them not to adopt
bad habits of larger boys, such as
smoking and swearing.

said. 1T is only bullies who use

of life is no exception.
Obey Games Rules
"A sportsman obey's the rules.
He doesn't shoot out of season: he
doesn't take advantage of the weak;
he doesn't hit when any one is
down. Try to be a sportsman.
Sportsmanship is that quality of
spirit which makes you manly and
keeps you within the rules of the
game. In fighting this battle of
life. do it gamely. fairly. honestly.
And the quality that l would

friends and to your country"
The boys gave Tunney, a great
ovation and followed his car to the
gate when he left the grounds to
visit his mother who lives in the
neighborhood of the school.
