Do you remember how the first
touchdown Of the Erownsville-De
Paul football game was made? Here
1t is: The ball was on the DePaul
11-yard line as the first quarter

the b2ckfield for the Eagles. Cabler
made 2 yards off tackle, Barnhart
2 more at the same spot, Weller
circled left end for 4 yards, and then
Bill Cabler went over for q touch
down. Three minutes Of play.

You fans expecting to attend big
league games this weekend, do not
kid yourself in expecting a regular
game as played in mid-season. You
won't see it. These are exhibition
days. They mean more than that
to the managers. Th3 big thing
about these games is that one gets
to see in action the big leaguers,
read and heard of so much.
So take advantage OF the rates
offered by the railroads and attend
the games over the weekend. You
will enjoy watching the big lea
guers, at any rate.

On July 1, 1922, there appeared
on the streets of Ell PasO, Texas,
and JuareZ, Mexico, a six column
paper named "The Garden
Punch" The paper in question
was a sports sheet, dOting on
prize fights. At the head in large
type Is this: "Fistic fireworks
flame at garden play arena" Ben
Freudenstein was its editor.
They tell a story on Ben that his
paper would beat all the daily sheets
on the streets after fights in that
part of the country, and how! Blow
by blow, round by round-a perfect
account of the fight would greet
patrons in Ben'S journal as they left
the arena. Figure it out.

the forces that led him to success.
 Calvin Coolidge first became a figure of countrywide attention for his handling of the Boston police strike after his election as gover- nor of Massachusetts in 1917. Curi- ously, that was brought about by a commendatory letter from a Demo- cratic president, Woodrow Wilson. Coolidge had spent most of his ac- tive life since 1899 in public of flee and the creed of his career, as his friends regarded it--do the day work and be brief was so rigorous ly adhered to es his inevitable fate drew him toward the presidency.

 Coolidge entered upon the du- ties of the presidency, which had left seemingly more robust men physically impoverished, figure of slight stature and not particularly strong in appearance.

 Logg, who still has the aspect of a college senior, served his appren- ticeship as assistant coach at Princeton in the season of 1925 and the next year was moved up to full control.

Her fight against the im- pulses of some intensely emotional scenes which brand her as one of the screens most talented actress es, surpassed by none.

NEW YORK, March 2.-Rowing supremacy for the present has passed to the Golden Bears of Cali fornia, but the University of Wash ington stands out this season more clearly than before as the incom- parable cradle of coaches who can teach men how to row.
 With the appointment of Mike Murphy as head coach at the Uni versity of Wisconsin to succeed the late Dad" Vail, the coaching products of Washington c 0 m e close to blanketing the entire coun- try
 They have a monopoly in the far west with Al Ulbrickson, the country's youngest head rowing coach, holding the tiller at the mother institution at Seattle. and "Ky" Ebright, the former Wash ington coxswain, directing the des tinies of the world champion Gold en Bears. With Murphy holding forth at the only rowing college in the middle west, the Washing ton monopoly covers that territory as well.
 In the east the Washingtonians almost hold their own, with Ed Leader at Yale, Chick Logg al Princeton and Rusty" Callow al Pennsylvania.
 In all, the Washington group oi head coaches numbers six, which is exactly half the total in the en Iltire country. It remains to be seen whether the number will in crease or whether the vogue for g coach from Seattle has reached its peak. It would be logical now to look to California for coaches provided the university of t h ( Golden State can follow up its dazzling debut in championship class with a record of consistency comparable with that established by the oarsmen of Washington.
 At the opening of the 1929 sea son the only institutions in the country without a Washington trained head coach are Harvard Navy, Syracuse, Columbia, Cor nell and Massachusetts Institute oi Technology.
 It was Leader fittingly enough who led the Washington parade oi coaches toward the east.

 Firmness exhibited
 The Coolidge actions during the period prior to March 4. 1925, were characterized by the same firmness fexhibited throughout his term of office but lis pledge to continue the policies of his dead chief ren- dered them perforce less deliber- ately individualistic.
 It was during that period that Edwin V. Denby resigned as secre- tary of the navy and the chief ex- ecutive appointed special govern ment counsel to pursue the oil frauds. Harry Daugherty, the Ohio attorney general, left office. too.
 Coolidge's approval of the budget August II, 1923, set an economy note. It was s126,0oO,O00 below that of the previous year.
 There followed in the period be- fore he accepted the reins of gov ernment in his own right, several of the famous vetoes of his tenure. On May 3, 1924, he vetoed the Bur sum omnibus pension bill; May 15. 1924, the soldier bonus bill was i disapproved by him. June T, 1924, i the postal pay increase measure 1as vetoed. February g, 1924, the McNary- -Haugen farm relief measure met the same fate.
 As the President entered upon his new term, Frank B. Kellogg of Minnesota, became his Secretary of State, succeeding Charles Evans Hughes, and his official family then numbered of his own choosing, John G. Sargent, Attorney Gener- al; Dwight F. Davis, Secretary of War; Curtis D. Wilbur, Secretary of the Navy; and William M. Jar dine, Secretary of Agriculture. The others were Harding holdovers.
 Tn the four years that followed the high spots of his administration included:
 !, The debacle of the naval disarm- arnent conference.
 The pocket veto of the McNary- Haugen bill.
 The pocket veto of the Muscle 1 Shoals measure.
 His personal appearance at the Pan American conference at Ha- vana for the purpose of bettering South American relations.
