name CAUSES
GRID BREAK
Harvard and Michigan
At Outs IL Years
Over Kill-Lee

MILWAUKEE. Feb. T.-(PJ-The
recent death in this city Of Henry J.
Killilea recalls, among other anee-
dotes, q story Of how he was the
innocent cause Of a football break
between Harvard and Michigan as
years ago-merely because his name
was what it was.
The Maize and Blue invaded Cam
bridge Thursday, November =, 1sS3,
to meet the Crimson on old Jarvis
field, where the buildings Of Har-
ward Yard now stand. The Crimson
fougth its way to a lead Of = to 0
on an unconverted touchdown and a
Michigan safety, according to scoring
values in that distant day when only
two points we're allowed for a touch
down and for kicking goal.
A converted touchdown would give
Michigan a lead Of o TO :, and HAIR
ward found its defense hard pressed
in the closing moments, the more
so because the teams were playing
full-time halves of 40 minutes and
darkness was falling rapidly. The
Wolverines struck through the dusk,
their spear-head carried By young
Killilea, recently graduated TO Ann
Arbor from the Oshkosh, Wis, Nor
NAL school.
Signals had not then been intro
duced, and the captain merely shout
ed the name Of the back who was
to carry the ball. "Killileal KILL
lea!" rang the Maize md Blue bat
tle-call on play after play as Mich
igan fought for a touchdown. Har-
ward defended with particular vigor
at the shouts of "Killilea," and pre-
served its thin margin I o the end.
The Michigan players were UNI
aware that the name Of one Of their
opponents was Lee and that the
cries of the Michigan captain meant
TO Harvard ear only that bodily
harm was intended to one Of their
number. The misunderstanding last
cd II years.

in equipment and number of men.
The growth of C%heytnne and Fort
d. A. Russell has been so great
in recent years that now both are
practically one so far as buildings
are concerned.
Within a few hours drive of
Cheyenne are wonderfully scenic
mountains with their streams
stocked with trout, also, picnic
and camping spots. These beauty
spots are reached over well i'm
proved mountain roads.
A Sunday Ride
Sunday, the 21st, citizens in
their private cars took the news
paper folks for a delightful 100
mile mountain ride via the Happy
Jack road, past the municipal
reservoir mountain lakes, the
Harry P. Hynds Boy Scout lodge
Zone of the finest in the world),
the Pole Mountain "jungles" and
OuGy 6Iu6 pass DdCh 10 Lu6 Llu-
coin Highway at the head of mag
nificent Happy Jack canyon.
With a mile of the latter point the
highway attains it's greatest alti-
tude between the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans, or about eight
thousand feet. Eighty miles to
the northward of Cheyenne is old
Fort Laramie, of all points richest
in association with the romance Of
western history. It lies on the old
Oregon trail, the deep-grooved
of which-worn by the wheels
of thousands of covered wagons"
that travelled westward in the
40's, SOS and 60's-winds up the
now thickly settled and intensely
developed North Platte valley.
Cheyenne was laid out by Union
Pacific engineers and officers of
the United States army in 1867
and was incorporated as a city
operating under a special charter
in 1869.

ing. On the Eaton ranch Mary
Roberts Rinehart has a charming
summer home and roughs it il
luxurious style.
We had heard that there was a
wonderful view along the Davis.
Lowell road up the mountains and
drove out that way, planning to
take this side trip, but about fiji
teen miles from Sheridan we ran
into rain which we saw was much
heavier ahead. After watching a
truck skidding around in the mud,
we decided to go back to Sheri-
dan. The road went across the
famous PIX ranch. Every year
they hold a big rodeo which is
free to the public. This event
this year was held just the Sat
urday before we were there. This
year the head prize was a Buick
car, and the second a $500 silver
mounted saddle. 1t is said that
there ere more than 10000 peo-
pie there, and about 5000 cars
were parked around the large nat
ural ampitheatre in a pasture
where the rodeo was held. There
were no grandstands or other
other seats, but people sat on the
ground or in their cars. The
owner Of the large ranch is a
breeder of pure bred stock, and
believes that the advertising the
ranch receives on account of the
free rodeo, brings good returns on
the cost.
On To Buffalo
Reaching Sheridan we decided
to drive to Buffalo and spend the
night there. We bought the max
ings of a picnic lunch, planning
to eat it at Storey, a beautiful
spot about 80 miles south of Sher-
idan. 1t is a place where many
people in northern Wyoming or
southern Montana go for a days
fishing or a weekend outing-a
beautiful woodsy, place.
Before we reached Storey, how
ever, we saw that it was going to
rain and decided to go right on.
1t was a good thing we did, for
the rain caught us about ten miles
from Buffalo. Or rther, we rode
into it. We have discovered that
in the mountainous sections rain
can seemingly come from nowhere
at all and in time that is almost
nothing flat.
