135-Year-Old Grid Fan
To Hocus-Pocus Kansas

LAWRENCE, Kans., August IS (P).
Little Left Hand, Arapahoe medi-
cine man, whose age is estimated at
1875 years, has decided to do his bit
for higher education-now that 1t
has been called to his attention.
The ancient master of herbs and
lamentations was visited by a tribal
interpreter in his home in Oklahoma
and told that Haskell Institute, Gov
eminent Indian school, and the Uni
versity of Kansas would meet on the
gridiron here october l after Of
year suspension of athletic relations.
Little Loft Hand sent grave assur-
ances he would be present. Equip
ped with roots, bark, sacred wam-
pun, horned masks and other i'm
pedimenta of his craft, Left Hand
said he would show what little
snappy hocus-pocus will do to the
white mans punts and passes.
The medicine man has no definite
idea as to his exact age. It was
fixed at 1875 years by an informal
Arapahoe Board Of Appraisers, guided
by the ancient's first-hand knowl-
edge of various tribal wars and tits
with the whites.

ROTHERT FAvORITE
IN THE DECATHLON
BY tire Associated Press.


PITTSBURGH. August 25.-The de-
but of Harlow Rothert of Stanford Uni
versity AS decathlon performance held
major interest today as the National
Amateur Athletic Union track and field
championships drew to a ciOse with
the 1O-event all-around test and the
relays.
The former Stanford foot ball, track
and basket ball star, now competing for
the San Francisco Olympic Club, was
looked upon as one of the best decath-
lon prospects uncovered in recent sea-
sons.
In addition to his known ability in
the shotput and the discus throw, in
which he has shared the intercollegiate
spotlight with his college mate, Eric
Krenz, Rothert was understood to COM
bine considerable ability in such events
as the pole vault and high jump with
unusual running speed for man OF his
giant physique.
Except for Rothert the field in the
decathlon was somewhat below par.
Among the other entries we're Marvin

BY J, p, ALLEN.

NEW YORK, August Is (C.P.A)--
Persistency on the part OF the British
in their repeated assaults upon the
women's tennis championship Title OF
this country has at last had It's reward.
Betty Nuthall, the 19-year -old daring
of the British courts, has at last scored
upon the American honors. To an ex-
tent she has balanced the account tnat
has stood for 25 years. On her tnlro
veture upon the courts OF TINS country
she has swept through the tournament
at Forest Hills one of the best ever
held. to triumph that in all respects
stands as a monument to her greatness
of skill with the racquet, which mas
been her toy since early childhood.
To say that bounding Betty easily
dominated the final match, IN winch
she defeated Mrs. Lawrence A. Harper
of California. 6-1, Ga, is scarcely
doing her justice.
The British girl, properly speaking.
was never extended. Her repertoire OF
shots. her clever timing and stroklng
were always superior to those strokes
of her American rival. Only in the
second set did Mrs. Harper flash to the
front, due to the mysterious chop and
spin which she impaired to the ball.
At this stage Mrs. Harper led at a.
on games, 1t was her lone appearance
in the lead.
For sheer grit, display of fighting
spirit not to be denied, bounding Betty
lived up to all the famed traditions of
the British bulldog in the final games.
The competitive spirit of this girl is
one of the finest things that the game
has ever known. She is truly royal
successor to the crown and purple OF
the tennis courts of this country so
lightly thust aside by Mrs. Helen Wills
Moody,
