Fabled "Lost Grass" Is
Found on Western Farm

Bellingham, Wash.-The tabled "lost
grass of Europe. amazingly rediscov-
cred recently on an Oregon dairy farm,
is in such a heavy demand that the
government experimental station won
ders how the world managed to get
along over century without it.
The story Of this strange grass is
farm. One year a peculiar pasture
grass was found to die early in sum-
mer, when all growing conditions were
In favor of green things. AS soon as
autumn rains fell the same pasture
turned dark green, as the dead grass
suddenly returned in exultant resur-
rection.
Government experts were asked to
study the field.
Examination Of the plant revealed
a dubious root and bulb-like seed pod.
The government agricultural experts
could hardly believe their eyes. They
all agreed that as nearly as could be
determined it was the long lost, much
written about grass which sleeps or
hibernates while other varieties are
green, then thrives best in the winter
when food for live stock Is low. 1t
forms perfect turf even under heavy
snow or ice.
Experiments have been carried on
in Australia, New Zealand, Alaska,
Oregon, California and in Scotland,
the original home of the pasturage.
Not only is the strange grass a per
feet food for cattle, but the turf-mak-
ing qualities make it valuable for win
ter lawns and parks and for golf
course greens.
Various experimental stations of the
Department of Agriculture are work
ing to increase supply Of the "lost
grass" for the increasing cau from
farmers and seedsmen.

An Old Goat Pasture
Now Colony of Wealth

Toronto.-In the suburban village Of
Forest Hill there is perhaps a greater
concentration of wealth and power
than in any other place of it's size in
Canada. Scarcely more than half a
dozen years ago large portion of the
site of the millionaire village" was a
goat pasture. Small boys used to
drive cows to and from wooded fields
night and morning.
To make it easier for his sons to
find the right pasture field among
many wooded fields, which looked
more or less alike, one farmer placed
a sign bearing the words, "Forest
HILL on small hilltop.
From that sign the village took its
name when it was Incorporated in
December, 1928.

NEW YORK y|OLE7S ARE UNSHRINKING
N. Y. U. Unafraid Of Missouri in
 TOmOrr0W'S Game

New York. Oct. 17 (UP) - So many football nicknames are in congruous that perhaps it doesn't matter, but the thought of pack of Bengal tigers from Missouri ar irving today to take on nothing Of more threatening nature than New York university's Violets might we'll have the local horticulturists up in arms.
 Before tomorrow's big intersec- tional game of the east is over, how ever, it well may be that the s. P. c. A. will be the organization ren- dering the complaints. For Chick Meehan's N. Y. U. Violets are of the -blushing variety, on the football field and elsewhere.
 New York university, as a matter of fact, is strongly favored to de- feat Missouri. Meehan and his men even go so far as to explain that to- morrow's game at Yankee stadium will be rather in the nature of a tune-up for the following weeks game against the Fordham Rams. Upon finding they were so lightly held, the Missourians intimated upon their arrival that they might have something of Q surprising and unpleasant nature to show their rivals.
 Violets Not Afraid The Violets are not hiding their ! heads in apprehension over this threat, however. They look forward It may be closer than that. Although there is no doubt that Meehan's ag- gregation has a decided edge. The 1 Missouri eleven hasn't done any scoring this year and may prove consistent in that respect at least. plenty of backs, and the craft i'm planted by one of the casts most successful coaches.
 It is significant that New York university, in final hard practices for the game. worked out against both Missouri and Fordham plays, indi! | eating the boys mean what they l say when they claim to be pointing for their local rivals rather than for the Big Six" eleven.
 "Cripples" Ready to Play
 Jim Tanguay, Meehan's sopho- more ace, who was rumored a con- firmed cripple, returned to the squad in the final scrimmage, but found a number of other backs, including several of his fellow sophomores, quite willing to have him remain on i the hospital list. Bob McNamara, ! sophomore star of the Villanova game, kept Tanguay's place in the first team lineup for a good part of the afternoon.
 N. Y. U. has a pair of brothers ready for action tomorrow in Her man and Joe Lamark, but that is nothing to what the Missourians dis played upon arrival. In the Bengal | squad are three sets of brothers, Ed and Bill Asbuhy, guards; Hadley i Kimes, fullback and his brother, Ira, center; and Russ and Eldon FL | lis, ends

BY OSSIE SOLEM


 Des Moines, Oct. 17 R)-An un- official record of 9.4 seconds for a 100 yards certainly should qualify Cy Leland of Texas Christian univer- sity as the fastest man in football today-for that matter, for many a day.
 Coach Schmidt naturally tries to utilize this speed to the best possible advantage. In 1929, the young Man O War" galloped to the Southwest conference championship for T. c. U. aided by a simple yer sion of the old Statue of Liberty play. He is on his way again this year.
 T. C. U. forms with an unbalanced line end with the backs shifted to the right. Leland plays the wing back to the right. The ball is snapped to Hinton about five yards directly back of center. He is g passer and off-side runner.
 In this particular play he pulls back as though to pass Martin, the right end, goes down and across as though to receive a pass. In reality he goes over to knock down the defensive rifht half.
 Oliver, right half lets the defen- sive right end come in. but forces him to the inside. Salkeld left end blocks the defensive right tackle in Griffith, fullback, swings around and blocks the defensive left end out.
 Leland holds in place for abou two counts. Then he comes tearing around to take the ball from Hinton and swings wide all alone.
 The idea of the play is to give Leland a chance to get into the open. Once there, he is gone. Michigan has used a similar play successfully for years. The odd par of the play is that 1t will go better against so-called smart" end thar dumb one. You can figure tha the smart end will come in at { pretty definite angle and fast, ant the surpriseeof the play is that un less he is nifty on his feet he i prevented from changing directions fast enough to force Leland inside. On the other hand. you never car tell what a dumb end will do. H. might blunder directly in the patl of Leland.

MISS HICKS DOWNS CALIFORNIA WOMAN
Plays Great Golf to Enter Semi. PinalS-GlenDa Couett Wins

Los Angeles, Oct. IT P-The shadow of 19 year old girl, whose string of sub-par rounds has been the spice of the 1880 women's na- tional golf championship, fell across the path of Queen Glenna Collett to- day in her quest for a fifth crown in nine years.
 Pride of Long Island, Miss Helen Hicks sturdy game was put to an acid test yesterday but she turned back Mrs. I.eona Pressler, the Paci- flc coasts last contender, 2 and l., in the quarter finals.
 It was duel that probably will be remembered as one of the great est in the 34 years of the tourna- ment's history.
 Miss Hicks was hard put by Mrs. Pressler, a former western cham pion and runner-up to Miss Collett last year. At the turn they were squared, with the Inwood, N. Y, girl one under par and Mrs. Pressler posting perfect S9, including an eagle.
 The hard driving Miss Hicks had possible 7s for the trouble making par S1 Los Angeles Country club north course.
 Glenna Docs Even Better
 This was eclipsed, however, by her New York city neighbor, Miss Col lett, who was forced into a potential 77 before she could turn back Miss Peggy Wattles of Buffalo, and 1. After lowering about perfect figures for three days, the defending cham pion had four birdies on her home round of eight holes. Miss Wattles had trailed during the out nine, and collected half dozen birdies in her unsuccessful fight to upset the fav- orite.
 In the other semi-final bracket, Mrs. o. s. Hill, Kansas City. will test her steady, determined game on Miss Virginia Van Vie of Chicago. Seldom spectacular, Mrs. Hill, a semi -fnalist last year and medalist of the current tourney, posted 3S, one under par, on her out nine, and defeated Miss Maureen Orcutt, Haworth, N. J., 3 and 2 yesterday.

KNOCKS MAKE STAR
 0F VANDY PLAYER
Johnny AskeH, Once Clumsy,
 Now Hailed as Great

Nashville, TennL Oct. 1T R-The story of Johnny Askew, the substi' tute halfback who broke into the headlines by scoring four touch downs for Vanderbilt against Min nesota, is one of the seasons finest
 Three years ago Johnny. as a Vandy freshman. weighed 13j pounds, was slow and clumsy. He distinguished himself solely by his ability to take knocks. without get ting anywhere.
 As . sophomore he weighed 14t and still had his other traits, but Vanderbilt squads are small and he clung desperately to a place with the scrubs. appearing early at practice and staying late. He asked tht other boys to tackle him in some private running practice. Last fall, 1t was the same ole story. He stuck around, played { little and took the bumps.
 This year he figured to be thu same Johnny, hanging around ant taking the bumps while one of thu best arrays of Commodore backs |, years headed for all the glory.
 Then Vanderbilt opened agains Chattanooga and Johnny got in tn game. It was only warmup an, it didn't matter much what hap pened to him, anyhow. But Johnny had suddenly foun, himself. He had 1t. His coordina tion had clicked and he ran. tackle, and blocked skillfully. intercepte, pass and tore of a dizzy run 10 touchdown.
 His weight was up to 16o. laryel, because of a Spartan physical an, dietary discipline.
 Against Minnesota Coach Dal McGugin figured that Johnn, might be ripe. He was. He wen in against the Gophers when Nous Leonard, i'll with a cold, weakene under tho pounding of the brawn Northmen. Minnesota threw a pas. Johnny intercepted 1t and reeled ol a touchdown. He added three other before the game ended.
 That's just one reason why Van derbiIt will take . lot of stoppin in the Southern conference thi fall.
