Sandies Prove Too Clumsy
For ShotwelI's Crew

wiry Buckaroos won the schoolboy
championship OF all West Texas
and the Panhandle by defeating q
heavier. but less alert Amarillo elev-
en- Is to 0 here today before TO-
: 600 spectators.
Immediately after the game
Breckenridge won the toss with
Waco and the semi-final game
with that team, also a bi-district
winner, Will be played here Sat
urday.
Led by their brilliant halfback
Boyce Magness. the Buckaroos con
verted two Amarillo funbles into
two touchdowns in the second pc
Rod.
On three other occasions the oil
belt champions carried the ball in
side the Golden Sandstorm's twen-
ty-yard line. Amarillo's closest ap-
proach to a score was in the third
quarter when the Sandies got as
far Is their opponents 26-yard
mark.
Tenth Straight
10 was the tenth straight vic
tory for the speedy Buckaroos.
Amarillo had the heavier team to-
day, but that was all. Brecken-
ridge was the smarter eleven and
was better drilled in football fun
damentals. The Breckenridge team
blocked better, tackled more vici-
ously and carried the ball hard
er.
Magness went over for the Bucka-
roos initial touchdown on a twen-
ty-two yard dash around end after
Amarillo's tumble had been recov-
cred by Captain Cary. Graham
gave Magness alright interference
on the play. Magness booted the
extra point.
Line Too Strong
Breckenridge counted again
within three minutes when the
Sandies again fumbled and Wohl-
ford recovered for the Buckaroo's
on the thirteen yard line. This
time a pass over the line, B. Mag
ness TO Graham was the medium.
The try for the extra point was
missed.
While Boyce Magness was the
powerhouse OF the Winners back
field he had some capable assist
ance from his brother and from
Graham. Wohlford and Cox played
sterling bail for the Buckaroos at
tackle. Amarillo displayed two &C
compliahed backs In Bulkin and
Gibson and a great line star IN
Nicklaus. center and captain.
The Sandies ran UP seven first
downs, only two less than Brock
enridge, but their efforts mostly
were in midfield. They could not
crack the Breckenridge line once
they backed them into their owr
territory.

PLANE MOTOR OF ri

Houston Inventors Say Hurricane
Approaches Ultimate in sim-
plicity Of Construction.

HOUSTON, Tex. R.-An airplane
engine of only 81 working parts-about
one-tentli as many as in an ordinary
engine-has been built and tested in
flight by two Houston inventors.
The engine, called the Hurricane,
its hackers say, approaches the ultimate
In simplicity of construction. 1t weighs
225 pounds, develops $50 horsepower
and requires an average of seven gallons
of gasoline an hour. Its designers, H.
r. Lyons and Victor Toce, say it can
be built more cheaply than engines now
in general use.
Lyons and Toce have completed the
engine after eight years Of work. It
operates on the two-cycle principle and
has neither valves, rocker arms nor
carburetor. 1t is an eight-cyltnder
radial type.
Sponsors of the Hurricane believe
its unusually light weight, few working
parts, low fuel consumption and low
cost of construction will make 1t par
ticuiarly suitable for small, privately
owned planes.
A plane equipped with the engine at
tanned speeds Of between 90 and 110
miles an hour. The engine has been
sent to an indianapolis engineering
laboratory for further tests and refine
ment.

oceanic depth.
No Trouble From Ice
"Ihus submarine navigator would
in all probability have free avenue
of progress to the pole. There may
be deeper Jumps in the ice thickness
here and there. but not to any OBJ
structing extent
He would be likely to have to hunt
for his crcvascs, but he probably
would be guided by the penetration
Of light. which goes down into the
water to considerable depths and the
nature of which would be no different
where 1t merely penetrated open
water"
The temperature of the water there
is about 80 degrees Fahrenheit, which
is two degrees below fresh water
freezing point but two degrees above
salt water freezing point. Those in
the submarine would not find 1t much
colder than in other water. Ninety
per cent Of the bulk of the whole
ocean is always below 40 degrees.
The submarine would be able to
see without searchlight for limited
distances. No doubt there Is sea life
there, perhaps in abundance. but 1t Is
not likely to differ much from that
found off Labrador and the New
foundland banks"

Division of Echinoderms at the Ma

new species of underwater life are

Nothing is definitely known about

most interesting thing outside the

such life. All life is dependent on
light and ice, of course. dims the sun
light going through 1t. But ordin-
arily the colder the water the more

No Huge Animals
"All sorts of things. exist in the
Arctic waters. but life in the sea does
not vary greatly. A submarine cruis-
ing to the pole would not be likely to
encounter any sea animals Of huge
size or unusual nature. There are no
walrus fisheries not far away and out
side the ice field the bottom of the
sea often becomes perfect carpet
Of eggs.
"One of the most important items
Of Arctic animal life is the various
cold water sponges. which look like
plants. These form regular forests and
grow eight or nine feet high. Some
look like long horsewhips and others
like immense quill pens. Others re-
semble apple trees. These animals
root on the bottom. having no need
to scurry around for food.
Among the fish there are various
kinds of cod and the big Greenland
shark. which grows ordinarily seven
or eight feet long and sometimes
twice as large as that. This Is a.
vicious seal-eating shark and its meat
is sometimes eaten, but only after be-
ing washed and boiled two or three
times to free it from poison"

light.
