Boxing Ruled
Out at Fort

Captain j. R. Kennedy, who has
been boxing matchmaker at FIT.
Benjamin Harrison, announced to-
day the weekly Tuesday night pro-
fessional fistic entertainment at
the army post during the summer
has been dropped. He mentioned
bad business conditions as one
reason for ruling out the bouts.
It also is assumed the army Off
GERS believe the boxing game is
controlled to a certain extent by
sinister influences around the
country that interfere with indie
pendent promotion. At any rate,
the Harrison athletic commissioners
felt that outside sources placed OBJ
Stacles in their path late last
season.
Following the announcement that
boxing bouts are off at Harrison,
it was learned that city promoters
plan to stage weekly or bi-monthly
shows at new Perry stadium this
summer. 1t is said Steve Harter
has been mentioned as matchmaker
for the ball park programs.

Bob Races
Postponed
Second Delay Forced BY
Rain; Norway Ski
Stars Shine.
BY HENRY McLEMORE
United Press STAFF Correspondent

LAKE PLACID, N. Y, Feb. 12-
Norway, its hopes for victory in the
Olympic winter games, crushed by
Americas unexpected sweep OF the
speed-skating races, plans to die
game.
The men from the land of the
midnight sun proved that Thursday
when they stepped out and won the
first four places in the combina-
ton ski championship to raise their
team point score from nearly moth
ing at all to an imposing 40.
Ruud Ski Choice
Today, unless all the dope goes
wrong, the Norwegians will add an
other % points to their total and
end the day with a score of II,
just 4 points less than the United
States.
These twenty-five points are ex-
pected to be added in the ski jump
championship. Norway has four
men entered, and the four men,
judging by their work in practice,
should run one, two, three, four.
Heading the list of Norwegian ski
jumpers in Sigmund Ruud, holder
Of the worlds championship. In
addition to Sigmund, the Norwe-
gians have Sigmund's brother,
Burger, Hans Beck and Kaare
Wahlberg, any one of whom is bet
ter than anybody this or any other
nation has to offer.
Bob Races Delayed
First End second heats of the
four-rnen bobsled race, originally
scheduled Thursday, were postponed
again today until Sunday. Contin-
ued warm weather and rain forced
todays postponement. The games
are scheduled to close Saturday
afternoon, but Olympic rules allow
a tWenty-four-hour period In which
to clean up postponements.
The combination ski champion
ship boys were the only athletes in
action yesterday. When they were
through, Johan Grottumsbraaten
of Norway had successfully Defend
ed his championship, and Hans
Vinjarengen, another Norwegian,
had broken the intervaIes jump rec
ord with a leap Of 204 feet.

MARABLE WILL

Frank Marable, we'll known to
many local residents, has been ap-
pointed Imperial Valley represen-
tative of the B. F. Goodrich Rub
ber company, and has already en-
tered on his duties with the new
concern.
In an examination taken at the
company's headquarters in Los An
geles recently, Marable scored an
unusually high rating and was
highly complimented on the show
ing he made.
That Marable has already learn
ed the tire salesmanS talk is indi-
Gated by the following statement:
"Ofter the automobile owner who
has worn out one set of tires is ex-
pecting to buy new car before he
can wear out a second set. If he
receives 10000 miles from his orig
inal equipment and he intends to
dispose of his car after $4,000 ad-
ditional miles, he can well afford to
replace tires before they reach the
danger point, as his second set of
tires will not have reached that
point by several thousand miles.
IF he continues to ride on
smooth, or bald tires, he sacrifices
the added safety that he could en-
Joy with the replacement, which in
the long run would not entail ad-
ded cost.
ut is particularly essential that
automobiles be equipped with good
tires at all times"

MEN FROM A BOTTLE

INTERESTING if true, IS the an
announcement of the discovery of a new
drug during experiments at a London hos
pital which is to develop a "superman'
It's sponsors assert it will add 10 years
TO the average span of life, will eliminate
fear, breed courage and stimulate the
intellectual and physical strength. Sheep
are made as strong as oxen and cats as
ferocious as panthers. Sheep and cats
which have been inocculated with the
drug have fought and killed dogs.
The results of the experiments on the
sheep and cats are hardly encouraging.
This old world has had too much fight
ing for years, among nations and indi-
viduals What it needs is peace and
goodwill in large quantities.
AS for the other attributes of the
drug it might be nicer to live 10 years
longer and it might not. That depends
considerably on numerous and rapidly
changing conditions. Fear and cOur-
age are relative. A man might hesitate
TO call bigger man a liar, yet risk his
life to save a kitten. His discreetness
might excuse him in the first instance
and the fact that his love of animals
might outweigh his fear would carry
him through in the second. Who can
say whether he is fearless or eowardly?
Stimulation of physical and intellec-
tual strength are highly desirable, but
we are going to be heretics and cling to
the belief that there will always be men
five feet two and weighing 120 pounds
smart as anything and there will always
be husky giants with the intellect of
halfwits There will be six footers
smarter than all get out and five feet
two men who are dumber than oysters.
The whole thing smacks to us of
little more of this artificiality that has
such strong hold on our lives even
now Nine out of 10 of US are afraid to
be ourselves under all circumstances,
and we are continually pretending. But
at that we would prefer this to carry
ing the thing a bit further and acquir-
ing our perfection out of bottle. And
what time all of US would have If the
new drug became popular, waging
continual and more deadly warfare to
keep up with the Jonses".
We just happened to think of all the
promises made January l that 1882 was
10 be good" wear.
