Colonel Culver Oisproves Axiom
That Flying Il Young
Mans Game

Langley Field. Va, Jan. 2.-(F)-
It's an accepted axiom Of aviation
particularly Of military aviation. that
/ flying Is . young mans game: The
advancing years seem to breed eau
tion in the breasts OF even the most
daring youngsters, and caution has
little to do with the work Of an army
pilot aspiring for lace" honors, be 1t
In peace or war.
On occasion. however, age notably
fails to wither the desire to be up and
doing In the air. Witness the writ
ten record OF Lieut.. Col. Clarence c.
Culver. Army Air Corps, command
ant at Langley Field, Va, and still
about rs lively pilot as Is to be
found despite his Sc years.
Since he crossed the half century
mark, Lansley's "Old Man" has done
more than 600 hours In air, all but
s. hours Of 1t In solo flight and 463
hours going into cross country excur-
sions In Ill kinds Of weather and any
old type Of ship. The years sit very
lightly on Culver, even In looks. His
stocky. broad shouldered, deep chest
ed figure spells physical fitness that
even today would put many Of the
youngsters Of his command to shame.
Culver. with . University Of Ne
braska degree In his pocket, crashed
the gate Of army life In 1893 for the
Spanish war as an enlisted volunteer
regular. He was 4 quartermaster
sergeant In the third cavalry OF which
he was to become . regular officer
later on.
Regular army life began for Cul-
yer In 1901 as q second lieutenant of
cavalry but he had begun studying up
the then wholly new thing Of radio
and In 1907 switched to the Signal
Corps as . radio specialist. setting
up the Corrigidor Island ana Fort
Mills, p. !. stations and also doing q
little work on . British wireless plant
IN Singapore. He got . first taste or
aviation at an international meet In
Chicago In 1911, dealing particularly
with development Of paragraphs, but
when the war came in 1917 he Jumped
to aviation and reached tho tempor-
aly rank Of colonel in that branch
before the armistice. His permanent
transfer to aviation as one Of its SEN
tor officers came in 1920 and then be-
gan 9 personal experience In flying
that has piled up an amazing num-
Der OF hours In atr for this mighty
active executive Of the lusty baby
branch Of Uncle Sans fighting team.
Culver was Solemnly warned some
time ago that he did any further
flying at his own risk. He was ret
ting too old for It under army STAN
dards. His answer has been practical
" to double the time he spends In the |
air.

NEA Los angeles Bureau

and disappeared on Lexington
avenue.
Jake Geiser Is the name of the
young fellow who .iourneyed many
miles from New Philadelphia, O., to
see the mighty Babe and his cohorts
in action. Jake was in the act OF
buying a ticket when he saw a ball
come bunding over the wall. All
thought of a ticket vanished for the
time being and Jake concentrated
on getting that ball.
So we'll did he concentrate that
after short chase the ball reposcd
snugly in his pocket. and Jake was
on his way to collect his reward.
Put even more highly does
George Herman Ruth. the mighty
monarch Of swat, prize the pellet
which sailed over the right field
wall.
For with that ball rode the long
sought accomplishment Of the great
est sIugger in baseball history

petition.
The Babe sent word to II. Clay
Folger, head of the Dunn Field
police, to be on the lookout for that
ball
Folger stationed himself at the
turnstiles and scrutinized carefully
the pockets OF the customers.
Jake Gefser. of New Philadelphia,
o., had a suspicious looking bulge
in his pocket, and few diplomatic
questions revealed the fact that he
had found a ball--but he intended
to keep it.
"How would You like to meet the
Babe Folger asked.
.'Great, said Jake.
So the two wended their way to
the Yankee dugout.
THAT ball means a lot to me, -

Now coming from an ordinary
mortal that question might have
been answered in the negative. But
Jake is nothing if not an ardent
baseball fan, and a request coming
from the royalty of baseballdom
is not to be reckoncd with lightly.

Glad ] got it, he said, feeling just
little limp over this sudden thrust
into the spotlight
" You re a great guy said the
Babe. p" Here s something to remem-
her me by" And Jake felt two
glistening white balls thrust into his
hand, along with that $50 bill.

LITTLE FELLOWS
WILL APPEARON
CARD THIS WEEK

The little fellows come back into
their own at the Imperial Valley
Athletic Club this week and fans
can expect better work from them
than the heavyweights have shown,
the single heavy exception being
Willie Henry, and Henry has never
had any opposition here.
Texas is sending her champion,
" Cowboy' McGomes, to head the
card in the 10 round main event
The cowboy defeated Delos Kid
Williams, johnny Mccoy, claimant
to the Pacific coast title and Pinky
Edquide, who represented the. south
ern states in a Rickard elimination
contest, and host of other good
boys.
McGomas meets Freddie Imperial,
also known as Young Imperial, the
boy who gave Ramon Montoya the
fight of his career a few weeks ago
in the local arena. Imperial, since
the first of the year has met Ernie
Hood twice, Montoya twice, Kid
Williams twice, also Newsboy
Brown and Charlie Kaiser.
Teddy Palacios, one of the most
popular boys to fight in the local
ring since it was opened, is booked
for the semi-final with Nerl White
head, a real tough hombre. White
head has never fought in Ell Centre
buy many local fans saw him in ac-
tion in CaleXico last winter when
he won 10 round fight from John
ny Albin. Three weeks ago he
knocked out Dario Barron in one
round at Ocean Park. Anyone who
knows his fights can figure out what
that means for Whitehead.
Frisco Linda, who fights main
events in the small clubs around
Los Angeles, and who won the main
event at Ocean Park two weeks ago,
is scheduled for the special spot with
FL Paso Rodrigues. The latter is a
high class man who is taking this
spot to show the fans what he has,
with the promise of higher place
if he makes good. He recently beat
Mickey Emo in 10 rounds, and that
stamps his caliber.
Trudy Hamilton, who started here
n couple of years ago, and has since
been fighting in the clubs in Colo
rado and Nevada, comes back to the
valley to meet Young Hagar in the
opener. The latter is from Ontar-
10 and after making reputation
as an amateur joined the profession
al ranks Il few weeks ago and has

er with Seattle, drew away from
