cessive consumption of meat and
alcohol are the chief factors

The average duration Of life
has been rising steadily through

KESSLER
At ST. ALBANS

Things are humming out at st.
Albans. And everybody you come
in contact with there can talk Of
nothing but Of the coming basket
ball season, where events are
really taking hand.
The reason is this: Rev. Hen

ton and now athletic director, has
signed one Of the bestrknown

five or six years.
Kessler was signed just last
week, according to Henderson.
And he will take active charge
about December !, when first
practice is on the books.
Friends Of Bruce viii welcome
the news Of his new position.
He made many admirers by his ex-
cellent basketball play at Eastern
High School and later at Ameri-
can University. KeSSler helped
handle the high school basketball
series last year In company with
Dan Caruso. as one OF his latest
sports activities.
II will be remembered that
"LittIe Kessler" was o star in
Sis Eastern High School days
under Coach Chief GuyOn.
He was noted for his small
ness in height, also was. he
noted for his ability to play
basketball and play it well.
He was named all-high guard
while at Eastern and rose to cap
taincy prominence at American
University where he finished his
matriculation for education. His
reign as captain at American Uni
,versity dates in the season Of
1928-29.

huge task when actual duties be.

FORSEASON
BY TOM THORPE

The famous light blue and
brown cap racing silks Of the late
H. p. Whitney viii continue to be
seen on American race courses
for years to come. The extensive
racing establishment will be
taken over by Cornelius Wander
bilt Sonny Whitney, son and
heir Of the famous, American
sportsman.
There is a very strong possibil
ity the entire racing string Of the
former master Of Brookdale farm
will be retired for the season. No
decision in the matter will be
arrived at until after the. funeral
q the former turf leader.
However, the thoroughbreds Of
both II. P. Whitney and Green
tree Stable. owned by Mrs. Payne
Whitney. q sister.in-law, have
been withdrawn from competition
until further notice.
Deep regrets were heard on
all sides for the sudden death
Of Harry Payne whitney.
No sportsman ever got a firmer
grip on the affections of the
rank and file Of the turf than
this former retiring, pleasant
sportsman.
The fact that he ran his stable
along honest, trustworthy tines
caused the racing public to recog
inize in him q sportsman who val
used the sport far above any fl
nancial returns possible from
running a stable in an unwhole
some and dishonest manner.
They always expressed Their
complete approval by backing the
H., p. Whitney horses into favor
itiSm in all of the big stakes in
which they have competed in the
past 90 years.
Many owners could pattern
their turf policies after the de
ceased sportsman. II we had
more individuals of the latter
type racing would be the most
popular Of all sports. No man
has ever had a greater influence
for good in any branch of sports
than the late proprietor of Brook
dale Farms.
He stood for the purest,
highest and best in sports
manship. His loss is q sad
blow to the game. 1t is 60
ing to be years before another
Of his sterling type is discOv-
cred.
An example Of the type o1
sportsman the late Harry Payne
Whitney was can be had from
a reply he made to the question
Of a close friend.
Harry, why don't you qualify
your juveniles?"
"My friend" replied the late
