Gridiron guns that have wrecked

For the first time since the sea

came into full possession of its
powers yesterday. For two quarters
it was frustrated by the fightiuF
Farmers. Then. az IL realizing IL:

Frogs finished in "a tie with Baylor

rivalled.
Outside OF the courageous. uphill
battle waged by the Longhorns :,

velopment of the season was the de-
moralization Of the splendid South

closing weeks of the marathon.
The Mustangs apparently shot
their bolt when they licked the Long

Redman H.ne, was on the sideline

lineup yesterday.
Coach Matty Bells Christian;
electrified the stands by throwing q
touchdown into the Ponies nj the

Although the Gulf Stream IL usually
thouht of as arising In the Gulf of
Mexico and spending itself on the
1t completes the circuit and consti-
tutes a vast merry-go-round Of
waters in the North Atlantic. A
branch of the stream turns north of
the British Isles and enters the Arc
tic ocean: but another part turns
south to the coast OF Portugal, then
southwest and finally comes again
under the influence of the Trade
Winds which give it new life.
Shaped Europe's Climate
The Gulf Stream has had a role in
world affairs, the importance of
which Is seldom realized. For ages
it has helped in the scattering and
evolution OF animal and vegetable
forms. 1t has held the climate of
much of northern Europe in its
moving waters. But for its beneficent
work as carrier of equatorial heat to
the northward and eastward. Eng
land might have the climate of
Labrador, and Norway the bleakness
OF Greenland. 1t has even had much
to do with the geological formation
OF large areas of the oceans bottom
by determining the places of sedi-
mentation. And day by day it is a
factor In the price of everything car
ried afloat between Europe and
America as we'll as in the safety of
all who cross the Atlantic.
The great current has had its
part, too, in shaping the history of
America. Before the discovery of the
New World, strange woods and
fruits were found on the shores of
Europe and the off-lying islands.
Some of these were seen and ex-
amined by Columbus and to his
thoughtful mind they were con-
vincing evidence that strange lands
existed somewhere to the westward.
These objects were carried by the
Gulf Stream and by the prevailing
winds from the American continent,
so that in part the Stream laid the
foundation for Columbus famous
voyage. Once under way, and sail
ing across the southern rather than
the northern portion of the Atlantic,
Columbus had the return flow of the
great circular stream to help carry
him to the West Indies
How long has the Gulf Stream
been flowing?
| The question cannot be answered
In years, but can be answered in
geological terms. AS a stream forced
into and then out of the Gulf of
Mexico, it must have been flowing
ever since the Gulf and its peninsulas
and neighboring islands have existed
in substantially their present form.
But even before the Gulf of Mexico
existed there must have been, as at
present, a clock-wise swirl of warm
| waters in the Atlantic basin. Today,
part of the so-caled Gulf Stream
does not enter or leave the Gulf of
Mexico, but joins the Gulf arm of
the stream north of the Bahamas
1t Is reasonably safe to say that there
has been a Gulf Stream (although
the Gulf may have played no part
In Its early existence) ever since
there has been an Atlantic ocean and
Trade Winds to blow upon it.

SURVIVOR Tells
OF CLOSE CALLS
Veteran Sailor Kept Alive by
Luck and Courage

Milwaukee. Aug. "a (UP)-After
asters during his five years with the
navy, c. H. Redding, IS. Milwaukee.
is still very much alive. Throughout
his navy service Redding was as
signed to submarine duty as an cleo
trician.
Redding was on the S-4s when it
went down with an open hatch of
Bridgeport, Conn, with 43 men on
board, all of whom we're rescued aft
er fighting water and gas fumes for
IL hours. The thing that stands out
in Readings mind is the droll at
tempt of machinist's mate to
sweep back the ocean with a
broom
The sub went down for a deep
dive but the hatch had been left
open," he said. Water poured i'll.
This machinist mate was sweeping
up water with a broom and was I'M
aware of what had happened. as
we all were for several minutes.
He kept sweeping and sweeping
but the water got too much for him.
Finally he went into the control
room and told the officers he
needed a mop. We soon learned
what had happened then"
When the Re- sank in San Pedro
(Calif.) Harbor in 1922 after some
one inadvertently had opened a tor
pedo door, Redding was just COM
ing on board for the night. AS he
stepped on the sub it began to sink
and he stepped off into the ocean
and swan to a tender lying along
side. Six men who were asleep
were drowned but the others were
rescued.
Redding had his head and face
burned when a battery blew up on
the S-37 in 1928. This accident also
happened in San Pedro Harbor. Six
men were killed by the blast.
He also was on the LIS which
dove with an open hatch off the
coast of California during the win
ter maneuvers in 1920. The crew
OF % men were rescued.

SCITS STILL SHRINK

Deauville, Aug. "a. (UP)-Car-
toonists have been lampooning wo-
mems bathing garb. contending that
they could be folded into a vanity
bag, but Deauville gasped when a
new freak of fashion cut away al
most half of what is left of SWIM
ming gear.
The stylish bathing suits are
now backless. They still have
shoulder-straps and a bib but are
cut lower in the back than any
evening gown was ever trimmed.
For several seasons bathers re-
tired to a comparatively quiet
corner of the beach and opened the
tops of their bathing costumes to
let the sun play on bare backs.
Practical women suddenly decided
that all this was a waste of time,
and If the bathing suits had no
backs the effect would be the same.
