THE GAMEST ACT I EVER SAW
Crippled Indians, Lube and Wheelock, Forced Way
Into Lineup to Win Gridron Classic.

~ LENN WARNER, Leland-Stan-
ford coach, said he certainly
never had witnessed q more
striking exhibition of game
ness than that of Lube, the
Indian.

Pop" was coaching the old Carlisle
team. The whole bunch was game,
for that matter, and you really
couldn't give one Indian an edge over
another. To be just, that fellow
Wheelock was on par with Lube.
Our biggest game of the year, said
Warner, was with Cornell. That season
it was set for October 18. A week
before that date we had about con-
cluded that we were in for a bad
baeting. 1t looked as though we
would be without the services of three
of our best men.
Wheelock, our left tackle, probably
the best man in the country in the
position at the time, and the one who
did all our kicking, was in the hospital
suffering so badly from neuritis that
they had to rig up a special apparatus
to keep the bed clothes from touching
him. Exedine, our great right end. had

Business has at hand some half dozen
ball players of proved worth, but is
decidedly shy on battery material Not
a single pitcher Is at hand and Freddy
Finley, whose experience as a catcher
has been limited, is the lone receiver
available. Leonard and Newman, last

season on the team, Kane played
strongly for the Light Blue during the
past season.

A study of my fellow passengers on
the S. S. Tingat, bound from Mer-

French tourist always carries his travel

nearly all OF the restaurants of North
Africa the French traveller may be as
sured of his toothpicks.
But then there may be chances of
being forced to eat in the restaurants
of other peoples or it might be that the
traveller through some of the wild
terrain might be forced to nibble at
few figs or dates. It seems danger

Toothpick sets may be simple or they
may be quite ornate. There was one
an engraved platinum set, toothpicks
for all occasions being held in the same
container. Each toothpick was en-
graved with the owners monogram and
coat OF arms. The container was at

platinum chain. In the presence of

felt very burgeoise, as the boys and
girls at the Dome Cafe in Paris would
say.
Still is is not so much the quality
Of the tOothpicks. 1t is the manner
in which they were handled. There
was the slim blond at the other table
to the right. Evidently she had
been well brought up, as we say, for
she handled her toOthpicks in a
most graceful fashion, displaying a
few diamond rings as the fingers
curled at the picking of the teeth.
There are ways of doing things that
indicate the antecedents. AS rule a
French gentleman with one of those
spade boards picking his teeth is just
a man picking teeth and that is all
there Is to it. But graceful young
things, who know their toothpicks, can
make picture that somebody might
want to paint.
One of my travelling companions told
me that he first fell in love with his
wife when he saw her teeth in a cafe
OF the gare. 1t was, of course, a chance
place TO feel the first inklings of the
grand passion, or whatever you want to
call it. There were scores of people
picking their teeth at the time, for they
always are picking their teeth in the
restaurants.
But there was something in the way
in which this young woman picked her
teeth that convinced the infatuated
young man that this was the girl for
him. And monsieur" he said, "I
never had occasion to- regret that mo-

Miami Fight Is Disagreeable

Y ONDON, March CP-London
morning papers, commenting
editorially for the first time on
the Sharkey-Scott fiasco at

disagreeable episode. and used it to
moralize on decay of international
boxing under the influence of money
and intrigue.

British boxing should have been repre-
sented abroad by such a "lethargic and
idolent" representative as Scott, al
though acknowledging 1t had been APP

that repetition of such contests would

fighting.
