that youth is needed at the start
OF a game, we are sure to hear
much from this lad from Texas IN
the future.
EDDIE SCHROEDER from Chi
caeo carries the favor to win the
national skating championship to-
CAV al Oconomowoc, Wis. This 10
year-old boy heads a team Of stars
such as Stack, Cornie Ewert, Ray
rY0ndra and Charlie Serro. Mime
Mspolis will be represented with their
pce speed demon, Einar Odlund and
hopes are that Minneapolis will
harbor the champion. II Is very
possible. as Odlund has stepped out
and won over such international
stars az Neil and Stainsby of VIM
nepeg.
Remember fhe Athletics
RIO GRANDE VALLEY Of Texas
should be an ideal location for q
spring training camp for the league
ball tossers. IL may be possible
that there Is unusual weather once
In a while there as there Is In any
other training quarters. Grapefruit
is a great conditioner, they claim.
Auy person living IN the Valley re-
CARELESS Of how old or how young
will admit that their grapefruit Is
better than Florida or California.
Results: It must be true that any
team training IN the Valley would
be far superior I'd the others and
that BY calling for Rio Grandc Val
ley fruit through out the season
they would be pennant winners.
THE TEAM manager would have
to have the players dig down among
the moth balls and have the players
wear their old red "undies' and
leave word at the many bridges,
The reds must not pass
RAY CONGER Of the Illinois
Athletic club stepped out last week
in the Newark Athletic clubs races
To defeat the doctor from Switzer-
land, DR.. Paul Martin. Conger saw
the heels Of the fast man from the
scenic mountains last year three
times out Of four and evidently has
made wonderful Improvements IN
his stride. These boys specialize in
NE 1000 yard struggle. 1t Is true
Axhat Martin had only sailed In BY
the Statue Of Liberty less than a
week before he ran over the boards.
IN case he still had his sea-legs
IL Is going to be a mighty close
finish The next time they meet.
Peace : Maybe
BIG THREE are considering for
getting the past and starting life

back in 1926 at the great memorable
battle IN Cambridge. The students
OF that year have passed out IN
the business world and now taking
q postgraduate course in the uni
versity OF hard-knccks and many
think it is possible to patch up the
friendship that these wonderful col
leges had before the tilt between
Harvard and Princeton.
GEORGE SIMPSON. the sprint
flash from Ohio State met defeat
with a local chap In New Zealand.
George IS making a litsle sprint
tour Of the Antipodes. We are as
sured that the Ohio cinderpatn
artist has not slowed up for the
fact that he ran the 100 yards in

EDDIE MORGAN. first sacker

folks thought his possibilities were
nil and he now represents another
town IN another state. Doug

Gated In his studio and invited the
leading athletes there. . . A star
athlete very seldom has the back

Fargo Express retired but the de-
preston brought him out. :.
Tunney has a very. very few friends
among sports scribes. Knute
Rockne was a good but not expert
football player. . Rockne writes
all his sports stuff himself.
Hockey players sell for and receive
just as much money as headline
ball players. Dempsey is still
the biggest drawing card In the
sports world. Mayor James

Montana, lost everything when the
fight clouds rolled away but later
made q fortune tn oil. One OF
the outstanding football players Of
the year only weighed 40 pounds.
