THE EAST BY BYRD

Loyalty! Augie Roberts is just
filled with 1t. And who is Augie
Roberts? Lifting the shroud of
darkness. Augie is the Maryland
football player who romped IS yards
over fine Virginia turf to score
touchdown and beat a noted rival.
Now there's a story connected
with Augie Roberts and his run.
The tale is how the boy went to
Maryland. or rather, what or who
drew him there.
Early in the fall Of 1925, Curley
Byrd, Maryland athletic head and
grid coach. was asked TO speak be-
fore the students body at Central
High School. Curley's subject was
Loyalty"
In his talk Byrd stressed the
point of giving ones best efforts
to his school. in the audience
was Roberts. Byrd did not
know Augie was there, but
Curley's talk struck home in the
yOungster.
The youth was entering his final
year at Central. He had played
only sandlot football, but then and
there decided to seek solace in the
fact that he could 90 something for
Central.
Augie became Central'S var
sity quarter: was picked on the
all-WashingtOn eleven. His first
year out, too.
Now comes the part most pleas
ing to Maryland. Roberts was a
much-sought-after youngster by col
leges, but he very quietly entered
Maryland. Just as quietly ne went
out for Maryland's freshmen eleven.
This year he advanced to the var
sity and was put on the third team
as quarter-on the third team un.
til opportunity knocked on the door
at Norfolk.
Augie's work now is history,
pleasant history. And Byrd. Well,
Curley is happy that he made that
talk before Central's student body
in 1925.

the COW las belonging to Mrs.
Reeves a neighbor.
Without saying word Ruth ran
out of the building overlook the
man and demanded to know where
he was taking Mrs. Reeves COW.
Overawes Pound Keeper
The man replied that he was the
pound keeper, that )he had found
the COW in the street and that he
was taking it to the pound. Ruth
was unimpressed. She insisted that
the COW be returned to Mrs. Reeves
and finally won her point.
The fact that Anniston is full of
stories about Ruth's escapades
should not be misunderstood, how
ever. They are stories that are re-
peated with honest admiration, and
there is nothing in them that re-
fleets on her in any way. Ruth had
no childhood sweethearts-they were
all pals, instead.
Ruth Elder was an outdoor girl
all the way through. She was
young and poppy and she liked fun
lots of fun; and she didn't care
what the gossips might say about
her. Z
And, even so, they never found
anything to say about her except
that she was a bit of a tomboy, out
for a good time.
Which helps to explain why she
tried to fly across the Atlantic.

Oscar Elders back was hardly
turned before Ruth went to the
stable. Without a saddle, and with
only a bit and bride, she man
aged to mount the untamed animal.
Down the street she rode, the horse
bucking and plunging, trying to
throw her.
Subdues the Horse
But she stuck to it, with half the
town watching, and at length came
back home riding much subdued
horse.
That's Ruth Elder for you," say
her friends.
Ruth was quite an athlete dur
ing her high school days. She
starred at forward ON the basket
ball team, and often said she wished
she was BOY SO that she could play
football.
One of the stories Admission tells
has to do with Ruth's Halloween
gang.
All small towns have their Hal
loween gangs, and Ruth's gang was
known as the most daring in Annls-
ton.
Springs New Stunt
On this occasion she tried to find
stunt that would be different. She
| did. ,...
She organized her crowd and
masked in fantastic costumes, the
group of boys and girls boarded a
trolley car. They rode until they
were tired, then tripped up the
conductor and got off without pay
ing their fares.
This was repeated on every car
line in town, until harassed
utility company had to notify the
police.
Another story deals with Ruth as
little girl. When she was 6 years
old she was sitting in the school
room one day when, looking out OF
the window, she saw a man pass
by leading COW. She recognized
