That's just hot grease anyway,
with some water or flour in it,
and I have found that it isn't so
good for the stomach. I know
girls that eat like Texas cowboys
who are skinny and I know others
that just nibble a piece of lettuce
like jackrabbits and are built like
a lotion truck.
The only time I just go a little
easy on the food is on days Of
competition. A fair sort of
breakfast, a very light lunch and
then I'm all set and ready to go
tearing down the lanes, over the
jumps, toss the discus, javelin
or what do you want me to sling
around?
Full Stomach No Handicap
A full stomach is no handicap

it was.
A bunch of Yales, Harvards and
Princetons of the past species,
some in condition and others need
ing new arches and obesity cures,
met up with a group of dear old
grads from the University Of
Southern California, the Uni
versity of California, and. STAN

West Wins BY I to 6
1t was called an EAST VS.. West
football exhibition" and while
$4,000 customers looked down upon
the field, made dazzling bright by
enormous flood lights, West
snagged a 7-to-6 victory. For the
first few pioneer minutes the lads
observed the true spirit of the
Olympiad and conducted them
selves with dignity.
Then Yaler forgot this was
an Olympiad being conducted in
August, regained the true college
spirit of November and banged a
Standforder-or maybe it was a
Californian-onto the lawn with
out prelude or apology. In re-
buttal, a Southern Californian
sliced a gentleman who learned
about higher mathematics at Har-
ward and a posSessor of a Stan

he shouldn't rumple up a gent

stances do your utmost to win by

of either. The good old days had
gone.
The boys went through all the
orthodox motions and they

but they seemed minus gimp be-
fore the first half was ended and
near the end of the tussle they
abandoned all trough ideas" and
devoted themselves mainly to
praying for the final whistle and
freedom from the shackles that
bound them to play football in
August so that Europeans might
get a general-very general
notion of what the game is all
about.
Scoops Ball to Score
The East crossed up the West in
the fourth quarter and scored a
touchdown, Edward Rotan, ex-
Yale, tried to score for East with
a placement kick. 1t was blocked.
Officials ruled it a free ball.
Bruton Strange, ex-Yale guard,
swooped upon it on the West line

QUESTFO
TITLE
By GINO SINH

"An things come to him who
waits" so wise-cracked some
ancient sage who evidently got his
fill of beer after many years OF
waiting.
Dooly Mitchell, the Capitals
racquet-wielder sans peers, can
appreciate that crack whole
heartedly as he prepares for the
National Public Parks tennis tour
nament which opens Monday at
Louisville, KY.
For six years the curly-locked
wizard has been questing the
national parks singles title, three
times reaching the finals, only
to fin,. the chap who had worked
his way through the other half
of the draw just a little too much
for him.
Thrice In Finals
He reached the finals Of the
1925 tournament after knocking
off the champions of Philadel-
phia, Wilmington. Detroit and
Chicago, only to bow to Ted
Drewes, of st. Louis, in four sets.
Drewec again tripped him in the
quarter finals of 1928. He did
not play in 1929.
In 1880 he again reached the
finals, only to succumb to George
Jennings, jr., of Chicago, defend
ing champion. These two met
again in the title round last year
and Jennings triumphed after five
gruelling sets.
It was a sensational match.
With the final set tied at Gall
and Mitchell leading 40, Jen-
nings tripped and fell flat on his
back in going after a drive. From
his reclining position he managed
to make the return safely and,
Scrambling quickly to his feet, he
smashed, drove and volleyed furi-
ously to victory.
Prospects Brighter
This year things are different.
Jennings has been forced out by
an injured knee. There are no
veterans in the tournament who
figure to take Mitchell, if the
local ace is in trim.
His stand-out foe will be Arnold
p. SimonS. of Louisville. SimonS

self in the past three tourna-
ments and, playing on his own
home courts, will hold a certain
advantage. But Dooly is given
good edge over him.
Two other strong contenders
are Fred Roger, of Dallas, Tex,
and George O'Connell, of Chi
cago. providing they have man
aged to gain the titles. in their
respective bailiwicks. Both were
semifinalists last year.

Doing those things comes easy
to me. If you were to ask me
just what I couldn't do in ath.
letics I Jould not be able to an.
swer because I have done every.
thing I've heard about and, if
there is anything I have not
tried, I will sure be taking q
shot at it as soon as I get
around to it.
Tries Hand at Golf
kept hearing a lot about
golf. Last spring I thought
would like to try the game. So
I watched some people driving
from the tee and I watched some
fellows putting and the next day
I borrowed a set of clubs and /
went out and golfed. The first
time was over 100 but pretty
soon I was in the COS. Up to the
present time I have had only
time to play 10 rounds of golf,
but the last time I shot 81 for 10
holes and the time before it was
80 on 76 par course for men.
What? Ride a horse and shoot
a gun? You asking me that
and I'm from Texas where we
are born on horseback and they
give us guns to play with instead
of rattles? 1 could shoot great
before I could do anything else
and I'm not neglecting the shoot
ing business. It's real fun to
bing right through a target from
long distances.
The way I look at it. a girl
that wants to become an athlete
and do some winning should get
the right kind of a start by being
tomboy. If she just goes in
for games against girls when she
is young why she never gets used
to being banged and smashed
around. Girls are nice to each
other. Boys are rough with each
other and rougher with the girls
that try to crash into their games.
Eats Most '.nything
I don't diet-not the way ath-
letes do. 1 eat anything I want
to eat-except very greasy foods
and gravy. I pass the gravy.

COBB SAD
BY TY COBB
BasebaIl's Immortal Hero


LOS ANGELES. Aug. 9.-Don't
feel so cheerful today.
The track and field battles Of
the tenth Olympiad are done.
No more pole vaults, no more
Sprints, no more hurdles, no more
thrilling deeds on the field, no
more cyclonic rushes from behind
in the distance races.
They could have gone on for
another six weeks and it would
have been all right with me.
During the winter 1 began look
ing forward to the different
meets on the Pacific Coast, the In
tercollegiate A. f.. A. A., the try"
out finals, anG the concluding
show here, with all the prominent
nations of the world tossing their
glittering stars against the pick
of the U. S. A.
Has Enjoyed Himself
I was anticipating enjoyment.
I have had it. They gave me
thrills at Bekeley, newer ones at
Palo Alto and the climax came
here. Afternoons of excitement
and nights of speculation as to
what the next day would bring.
Never seen anything like this
in my life.
AS a ball player, I devoted my
years to the diamond. Nothing
interfered. But I was always
looking forward to the day when
I could retire and find enjoy
ment in doing and seeing the
things which were denied me
because of the call of my pro-
feSSion.
Greatest Appeal
OF all the things 1 wanted to
feast upon, none made a greater
appeal than track and field ath-
leticS.
I've seen them all out here
every contest of the major va
riety. I am sorry they are done.
If / had any power, I would
change the rules and put on an
Olympic every two years-at
least.
It was a marvellous show.
And now I'll be going along
to see what these swimmers
can do.

TROTTER RACED
 DESPITE INJURY

Goshen, N. Y. = (U. P.) = The great heroes of mankind can now move over and make room for a four-legged champions horse.
 Her name Is Nedda Guy, a trot- ter. Nedda is very much in the linhelight now as an outstanding contender for honofs in the four year-old division. You would never know it from the splendid work she is turning in for her trainer, Walter Cox, along the Grand Circuit, but Nedda just es- caped a career at the glue factory.
 It was on the day of the great $60,000 Hambletonian Stake race here last year. Nedda was three to five favorite. As the little Ally went to the post, both William H. Cane, her owner, and Trainer Cox noted a bad lameness. Probably a straine alignment just manifest ing itself, they thought. Nedda ran the first heat and finished fifth, tfotting the mile in 2:05 1-4.
 By time for the second heat Nedda was 1imping badly. But she wanted to go. Off she trotted and placed second in 2:03 1-2, only a quarter of . second slower than the eventual best time of the win- ner, Calumet Butler.
 Examination disclosed Nedda Guy was suffering from two frac- lures of the pelvic bone.
 "A horse like that deserves an- other chance" satd Cane. Get the finest veterinarians and make her sound again. She has to win. She will win."
 Nedd Guy is fulfilling her masters prediction this season.

 America, represented by the Uni- versity of California, was still the eight-oared favorite. Great Britain was possibly the most serious ri- val. Italy's blue-shirted and light stroking boatload was the dark horse. Canada, winner Of one of yesterdays repechage races, offer- ed dangerous threat.
 Britons Come Back
 Cambridge, Great Britain's en- try, all but rowed its heart out in a futile effort to overhaul the sur prising Italian crew in the first eight-oared test. The British how ever, came back yesterday to score decisive triumph and earned a place in the finals on Saturday.
 Australia, with its great Bobby Pearce, was favored in the singles souls, with Bill Miller of the Uni ted States, his most serious rival. Miller won yesterdays repechage (this term, by the way means "sec- ond chance') race in the singles, Finals of this event will be rowed to-day.
 Germany and the United States advanced to the finals of the four cared without coxswain. Saturday they will fight it out with Great Britain and Italy, winners of the original race in this division. The American four in the race with coxswain failed yesterday to reach the finals which will be row. ed by Poland, Italy, Germany and New Zealand.
 America also was eliminated in the pairs without cox. Finalists in this event are Great Britain, Po- land, Holland and New Zealand.
 Germany and Italy yesterday qualified to compete with Canada and the U. S. in the double souls.
 The first competition in the pairs with coxswain will be the final of this event. They are the United States, Brazil, France and Poland.
 Japs Good Tankers
 In the mems swim events yester- day, Japan dominated the mems 2O0-meter breast stroke, the 1.500- meter free style, and the 100-meter backstroke. .
 The American mems swim hero of the day was Ralph Flanagan, 14-year-old Florida boy, who won his heat in the 1,500-meter. Buster Crabbe of Los Angeles winner of the 400-meter free style, also advanced in the 1,500-met eter tests, but was beaten in his heat by Kusoa Kitamura of Japan.

You frequently hear that women golfers make the mistake of over swinging. Yet there are leading feminine players who take full free swings with great success.
 The source of the trouble does not result from the overswing it. self but from the fact that many women players lack the strength in their wrists to control the swing.
 It is important in the golf swing to retain firm control of the left wrist throughout. Once you let go. all management of the club Is lost.
 This means that fairly strong wrists are needed to play good golf. Therefore the player with weak wrists should cut down the back swing. Don't try to take any club back to Q point beyond which the wrists will lose control.

Wildcats Reply to
 Elm Giant Protest

Sporting Editor: In reply to the Elm Giants who are protesting their to 0 defeat at the hands of the Wildcats wish to announce that Umpire O'Donnell shows no favorites. The decision they arc protesting was fair, their player admitting it to a fan as he walked from the plate. The Elm Giants man who umpired on bases had to be chased from the pitchers box as he seemed at a loss as to where he was supposed to stand and the Wildcats did not potest some ques- tionable decisions on his part as they can take it. That game goes down on our books as win and to show what kind of sports we are we will play the Elm Giants any place they say and show them they are up against a real ball club pro- viding they study teh rules of the great American pastime and use the same lineup.
