Night Brings LuH
In Forest Fires,
Fighters Declare
Foresters Attribute Fact
to Cold Air Increasing
Density of Smoke.
az the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PLACERVILLE, Idaho, August "a
Even forest fires slow down at night
Fighters who have been waging a
nip-and-tuck battle against blazes in
the Boise Basin, where two villages
have been burned and thousands of
acres OF timber have been destroyed,
told today how the CONGREGATIONS died
down with the coming of cold night air
For Ave days the fires have spread
furiously and for five nights they have
paused, giving the exhausted fighters
a chance for a little rest at night.
Foresters said the descending cold
air and the fact that smoke became
heavier under lower temperatures were
responsible, the smoke coming down
and displacing some of the air near
the burning area. This. in turn, fight
ers said, robbed the fires of a part of
their oxygen supply and caused them
to slow down.
The smoke shuts on. the sun until
late in the day. frequently until 3 or
4 o'clock In the afternoon then it
begins to rise in giant column 10000
feet above the valley, its tip as heecy
white as Summer clouds. At that
point the fires burn fiercely.

Says Football
Here To Stay

DURHAM, N. c., Feb. 9. U.p)-
Football will carry on as major
American sport, maintaining its
present popularity with the fans
throughout the nation, Coach Wal
lace Wade of Duke University de-
clared in an interview with the
United Press.
Wade presented two reasons for
the present and future popularity
Of the gridiron game.
First. the players like it best
said the former Alabama mentor
There is More of an outlet fer the
competitive spirit in football. The
game is a great builder of strength
and manhood
Second, the fans desire football
because 1t produces more thrills
There are few dull and tiresome
moments to the spectator
Wade discounted the idea that
football ever again would come un-
der studen, control in American
colleges, instead of its present fac
ulty supervision. 1T would become
us corrupt as II did 80 years ago
when students controlled it," Coach
Wade asserted.
Wade discounted the contention
that football generally is over-em-
phasized in American colleges.

ly mile Triplett would have smash
ed the mark.
Turning the mile in the first race
in 3.29, for an average of 9043 miles
an hour, Triplett bettered the ma
tional championship average of sc. .48
by Lockhart when he made 80 miles
in 1923. Considering the differ
ence in the length of the track, in
this event Triplett would have bet
tered the national record by four
miles an hour over distance of
exactly 80 miles.
Race drivers after the events yes
terday pronounced the track the
fastest they had ever driven over,
according to Manager Joe Bush, un-
der whose supervision the races
were staged. All that remains in
the path Of establishment of nation7
al records on the local track is a
slight shortening in its length, and
this it is planned to do.
In the second five mile event on
the program Babe Stapp in a Bobby
Special navigated the course in 3.35
2-5 to take first place, with Lou
Moore in a Gilmore Lion Special
taking second place and Walt May
In a Dayton Thorobred Special fol-
lowing in third place.
Johnnie Kreiger, plotting a West
,ern Super Special, took the third
five mile race in 333 1-5, with Arvol
Drummer in a Piston Ring Shop
Special and Mel Kenealy in Par
amount Special taking second and
third places.
The 10 mile race, semi-final event
on the program, was captured by
Chris Vest, who drove his Y Service
Special over 10 miles in 7.25 2-5,
closely followed by Billy Wynne in
ID Redlands Special and Kelly Petillo
in Rasor Special.
Program is Snappy
Races followed one another in
quick succession yesterday after
noon, with no delay to keep the
spectators yawning.
The last five mile race on the
program almost proved disastrous
to Herman Schurch and His West
ern Super Special. After pressing

eliminating the muddle which has
existed since the retirement of
Gene Tunney.
Ranking the heavyweights at the

personal opinion and most critics
are content to classify the contend
ers in three divisions, as follows:

troit last week, appears TO be the
best of the young prospects. The
