UNSCATHED IN FOOTBALL, STAR
BREAKS BONE IN FREAK MISHAP

Fargo, April 18.-N- Casey
F1nnegan, North Dakota Agri-
cultural college athletic director
and head football coach, Is won
dering II the rules makers didn't
overlook something when they
put in their stringent code last
fall, following what they termed
wholesale injuries and deaths
which they attributed to the
roughness Of the grid game.
At least, Rod McMillen Of Bent
ley, N. D., for three years the
most valuable Bison utility per-
former, is injured and he didn't
get the injury on the football
field.
McMillen played good enough
In his sophomore year to earn
letter as guard. In his junior
year he was moved out to tackle
and named on the mythical
team selected by the coaches of
the North Central conference.
Last fall he was q mainstay at
end, but when there was q short
age Of tackles, McMillen moved
in one position nearer the center
Of the line.
Through three seasons Of var
sity play McMillen never was
handicapped by an injury serious
enough to keep him out of the
game.
Not only that, but McMillen
never was injured as a freshman
in three branches Of sport. He
also won honors as q boxer and
track athlete, his track speciality
being the quarter mile run. He
is the schools light heavyweight
boxing champion.
During this full schedule Of
athletic activities McMillen never
has been injured.
But Friday he was walking
from a class. Just outside the
door he turned his ankle. It hurt.
He showed it to Ffnnegan. Fin
negan said it looked bad. He
asked for an explanation and got
it. McMillen consulted a bone
specialist and heard the worst.
The ankle was broken. Now
McMillen IS on clutches, injured
for the first time In his career,
after seven years Of football.

Sombre Reflection

White Sulphur Springs, w. Va,
April 18.-(P-H. Ellsworth Vines Is
affording plenty OF opportunity for
sombre reflection by viewers with
alarm" these days.
Hailed as the tennis giant who
would regain the Davis Cup for this
country after he captured the ma
tional singles title last summer, Vines
has been beaten SO frequently this
spring some observers fear the Davis
Cup is Just as far away as ever.
Vines has been beaten four times
In the last month.

:! h? ;72 e; it g.: CD

Guiding factors in the grooved
swing that you see in the experts are
the left arm and side. Use OF the
straight left arm is the only way a
grooved swing can be attained.
BY keeping the left arm straight in
the backswing, the shoulders turn on
an axis practically down the center
Of the body. The left shoulder al
ways follows definite path. as does
the left hand at the end Of the
straight left arm
But suppose the right hand con-
trolled the backswing. From the
moment the club is started back. the
right arm is bent and has little
chance to travel along a definite
path. It is working in space and, as
the bend in the elbow is increased
and diminished, there is nothing in
the right arm or side to control the
swing.

SPORT SLANTS
BY ALAN GOULD

There was no trick to picking the
Athletics and Cardinals to win the
1881 pennant races.
We did and they did, with such
thoroughness and dispatch. that we
nominate the two championship clubs
here and now to stick to the peaks.
The strangest feature Of the situa-
ton, from this observers viewpoint.
IS that the Cardinals among betting
men are considered a better gamble
to repeat than the Athletics.
AS We saw them perform in Florida,
each minus few vital cogs, the AS
looked the stronger outfit by several
kilometers.
The Athletics still can depend on
Earnshaw. Grove and Walberg where
as the Cardinals must make two or
three untried youngsters carry the
load left by the departure of Bur-
leigh Grimes.
There is a tendency to over-rate the
chances Of the Yankees in the Amert-
can league and underestimate the
strength Of the Giants and Cubs in
the National league.
II the law of averages is due to con-
tinue, the operations against the Atl,-
letics, begun in the last world series.
it also may be obliged to perform at
the expense OF the Cardinals, who
have slaughtered such clubs as Gin
cinnati in piling up winning margins
the last two years.
Anything can happen in baseball
but the burden Of proof this season
will be on the Yankees and six other
American league clubs-not the Ath-
letics.

American Responsibilities, Yam

Cubs. Brooklyn, Phillies, Reds, Braves
and Pirates.
Reds Better Hand
The Cincinnati club made up mostly
of ex-Brooklyn and exist. Louis tai
|ent, may turn out to be the most i'm
proved outfit in either circuit.
Dan Howley and Sidney Well did
not get the worst Of the big deal with
Brooklyn. The Reds have a pretty
fair infield. minus Cuccinello and
Strip, and they get the benefit Of
some real punch with Herman and
lombard in the lineup.
Wilbert Robinson made Lombardi.
the big numbering catcher. more or
less famous as "Lumbago" but the
Pacific Coast league product is a real
slugger and possesses rifle shot arm.
The Braves too, after poor start,
have looked more like the outfit that
Judge Emil Fuchs and Manager Bill
McKechnie thought they had built UP
at substantial cost.
Likewise the Phillies appear much
stronger, thereby giving the second
division OF the 1881 National league
race q much more menacing aspect
for the pennant hopefuls this spring.

Billiards Once Played
With Mallets as Cues

The origin of billiards is obScured
in antiquity and Is variously locat-
ed in conflicting accounts. Spain.
France, Italy and Germany all have
been given credit for developing the
game. In some cases a writer con
tradicts himself on the subject. For
instance, in Cotton's "Compleat
Gamester" it is said that this most
gentle, cleanly and ingenious
game" was first played in Italy, but
on another page Spain is fixed as
its birthplace.
But for the origin Of the game it
probably is necessary to look far
back into history, for it is said that
a king Of Ireland in the Second cen
tury left behind him 50 billiard
balls made Of brass, together with
cues of the same material.
Evidence indicates that the game
once was played on the lawn, like
modern croquet, and some authori-
ties contend that in this form it was
introduced into Europe by the Cru
saders on their return from the
East. The ball was struck with a
mallet or a large cue and rolled
through hoops. The hoops were re-
placed by pockets when the game
was placed on a table and brought
indoors.-San Francisco Chronicle.

Silk Worms "Smuggled"
Into Europe by Monks

The discovery of the thread OF
the cocoon is credited to a wife OF
Chinese emperor as far back as
200 Il. O., but it was not until the
Sixth century since the birth Of
Christ that the manufacture Of silk
worked westward into Europe. The
first of the worms TO be brought
west were carried by two Persian
monks in hollow canes, who brought
them TO Constantinople.
After eventually reaching France,
the silk industry received a consid-
cradle acceleration which later
drew England into the field, for
many silk weavers were forced from
France by the edict of Nantes.
Seeking supply Of cocoons, the
English sought TO foster the pro-
ductiOn of the silk worm in the Col
onies. The first were introduced
into Virginia, with bounties offered
for the production of silk. Virgin
ians found, however, that tobacco
was a more profitable crop and the
silk worm languished.
Efforts were also made to estab-
bsh the worm In South Carolina
and in Connecticut, while IS or so
years ago an attempt was made In
California, but they all came to
nothing.

Made Religious Rite of
the Brushing of Teeth

The ancient Indo-Europeans OF
100 B. @. made a religious rite OF
the brushing of teeth, according to
DR.. George V. Bobrinskoy. assistant
professor of Sanskrit at the Univer-
sity of Chicago.
These early Indians had no tooth
pastes, but they brushed the teeth
thoroughly, he said.
For a tooth brush, they used a
twig taken from living tree, a spe-
cies of fig tree being recommended
for the purpose, he continued. 1t
was imperative that the bark re-
main on the twig. The tooth
brush" could be used but once.
There was a long list of days
when the rite must either be omit
ted or performed in a different man.
ner, he said, and on such days the
cleansing of the mouth by rinsing
with IL mouthfuls of water was
substituted.
A prayer to be delivered before
and after the brushing Of the teeth
was translated as 20 Lord of the
Forest, grant us long life, strength,
glory, progeny, cattle, riches and
knowledge"

Meteors Move East

Meteors travel at the tremendous
speed of 26 miles per second. This
will explain why some meteorites
are hot when picked up immediate
ly after they fall and why other me
teorites, excavated some hours
after they fall, are at that time So
cold that frost forms on them as
soon as they are exposed to the air
Meteors as they fly about in outer
space are dark and extremely cold
bodies. When they approach the
earth, the friction with the earth's
atmosphere causes their outer sur
face to become white hot and
molten.
