NEW YORK, Jan. 20=Pl- The
east will nc see Jack Elder OF
Notre Dame in track competition
again this year, but 1t can have
the pleasure OF talking over his
disputed race with Karl Wilder
muth, Georgetown flash.
Elder. whose run the length OF
the field for the touchdown that
enabled Notre Dame to beat the
Army in November still is fresh in
the minds Of sports followers. was
adjudged the winner in a great
75-yard sprint against Widermuth
and others at the Brooklyn college
meet here Saturday night. But
many newspapers observers as well
as spectators at the meet thought
Wildermuth had won.
So close was the finish that the
two judges charged with the task
Of picking the winner split in their
verdictS, m voting for Elder, the
other for Wildermuth. The other
judges who were to decide second
place also split, one believing Elder
was runner-up. the other picking
the Georgetown flash as the also
ran. The chief Judge settled the
argument by casting the deciding
ballot for Elder.

DESPITE THEIR newneSs at the
sport, the Harrington polo players
made a fair showing against the
experienced Fort Brown riders here
Sunday afternoon. The contest was
closer than the 1872 score would
indicate. The visitors gave promise
OF developing into real oompeti-
ton for the officers. With a bit
more experience under their belts.
the Harrington horSemen should be
a real factor in the February tour
nament to be staged at Fort Brown.

considerably by q slow, misting
driZZle. Although the game was
moved from the parade grounds to

the Harlingen Methodists and the
Edinburg Firemen will be cham

brackets. respectively. These two
squads have compiled the best
average o per game in their
brackets while taking on the cream
Of the field. Donna is tied with
Edinburg for scoring honors, but

The games was played on the avi-

Despite this fact. a fair sized
gathering was on hand TO witness
the debut Of the Harlingen horse
men. The grounds were a little
too wet for a real display of horse
manship and the Harrington riders
were somewhat handicapped.
Mai. Oliver I. Holman OF Fort

with the showing of the Harlin-

not indicate the eveness Of the

The Hay is a real honest to goodness farce comedy, whose sole mission is to make people laugh It is genuinely funny but never ridi- culouS. Everyone in Petersburg should make arrangements to see and enjoy this show which will be presented August 26th and 27th at The Coliseum, with m all-Star cast of Petersburg players. This comedy is being given under the auspices of the local post of the American Le- zion the net proceeds of which is to be used to repair and improve. the Legion Building.
