The male Is a handsome creature, in
deed. His neck and head are q lovely
glossy green. He wears a handsome
white collar and a fine brown vest
marked with wavy lines of black. His
coat is dark grayish brown shading to
black on the lower "coattails.' There
are four intriguing tail feathers Of
black that curl upward, special deco

trousers are white, the bill greenish

wing bar is rich purple with green
reflections and bordered in black and
white. With this description I am sure
you can easily identify the next NAL
lard you meet.
The female is dressed in a dingy coat
OF dark brown, mottled with gray. Her
wings are marked like her mates, a
slight improvement over the dull cos
tune she wears.

TT was long since Reddy Fox had
been hard pressed. That Dog FOL

was we'll trained and he was nat

Reddv long to find this out. When ne
had started to lead that Dog away from
the Old Pasture he had had no worries
at all. 1t was bother to nave 10 run
at all in such warm weather, but as
soon as he had led that Dog 1ar enough
away he would fool him and trot pack
home.
Three minutes after they had started
he had made one unpleasant discovery
and this was that the Dog was last
runner and had a good nose. II was
no more pleasant to find that ne knew
how to use that nose. But it wasn't
until Reddy tried two or three simple
tricks to break his trail that he began
to think that perhaps this Dog was
smarter than he had suspected, They
didn't fool him for more than a few
minutes. hardly long enough for Reddy
to get his breath. Even then he didn't
worry.
But when he tried some of his smart
est. his very best tricks and they failed
Reddy did begin to worry. He was in
no condition for long run. and it was
too warm. Already he was tired and
most uncomfortable. 1t was too late 10
go back home. Anyway that was the
very thing he didn't want to do. There
were no old holes into which he could
go over in this part of the country. He
simply had to get rid of that Dog. He
had to.
1t was when he was almost ready to
give up that he remembered something.
1t offered him his one chance of eS-
cape. At least, it was the only chance
he could think of. He headed straight
for certain place and he wasted no
time in trying to break his trail He
wanted to reach that certain place far
enough ahead of that Dog to have time
to be sure that things were as he hoped
they were.

KANSAS TEAM

Jayhawkers Played Good
Football in Game With
NOtre Dame
by GEORGE KIRKsEY

United Press StafR Correspondent.
Chicago (UP)-Reserve place
high up among the nations leading
coaches for Adrain CAD Lindsey
Of the University of Kansas.
His team that tied Notre Dame
will give any football eleven q bat
tie, and for execution Of football
fundamentals and carrying out of
assignment the Jayhawkers don't
have to bow to any team.
Kansas uses an unbalanced line,
and o one-man backfeld shift. On
defense Kansas played q seven
man line against Notre Dame, de-
pending on the forwards to rush
the passer as the chief defense for
an aerial attack.
Lindsey was O 1etterman at
Kansas before the war, and during
the war played with the seth divi-
sion team IN France.
ALA. IL. II. Fu1lbaclr
He was named ALA. Il. n. full
back. He graduated from Kansas
in 1917, after making letters In
football, baseball, and basketball.
After the war he Joined the
coaching staff at Kansas, first In
baseball and basketball, later "a
freshman football coach.
From 1929 to 1927 he was coach
Of all sports at Bethany college,
Lindborg, Kan, and for the next
five years was head football coach
at the University Of Oklahoma. He
rejoined the Kansas staff in the fall
Of 1882, and when Coach Hargiss
resigned In October he was named
to succeed him. His teams are go
ing to be heard from outside the
Big Six from now on.
JayhaWkers' Spirit
Notre Dame was extremely lucky
to get away with q 90 tie against
Kansas, but the Jayhawkers &C
cepted the result graciously.
They did not go Off talking about
moral victory for Kansas.
After the game DIR Forrest Allen,
Kansas athletic director, said:
"Notre Dame Is q better team
individually than Kansas, and we
were extremely lucky to get O tie.
We had two games under our belts
and were In better physical condt-
ton than Notre Dame, playing itf
first game. Our quarterback used
better Judgment than the Notre
Dame field generals. Their mis-
takes were costly. But we couldn't
haye held them much longer. They
might have won X the game had
two minutes longer to 90. The final
gun was certainly a welcome sound
to all Of us from Kansas"

Some of these tests are exceed
ingly simple, involving, for exam
pie, the rate of the heart when
lying down, when standing, and
then after some exercise again
taking the rate lying down and
standing.
Normally, the rate when lying
down is about Sc; when standing,
from Sc to "a. After exercise, the
rate for the first quarter minute
should be 96 and the second quar-
ter minute about 8S.
In other words, the heart must
have the ability to return to nor
NAL rate rather promptly after
sons the heart rate may be 70
when reclining and 90 when stand
ing, with the rate after exercise
1872, and Is seconds later still 1872
or 1876.
Warming
Such an increase In the heart
rate after exercise and the de-
lay in returning to normal rate are
quite certain Indications that the
individual is in poor physical con-
dition and certainly should not in
dulge in vigorous exercise or hard
training until his condition has
improved.
Physical educators place q great
deal of value on preseason train
ing to put the athlete In good
shape before he undertakes q diff
cult sport, particularly one such as
football. A good condition Is de-
veloped by getting moderate
amount of physical exercise each
day and enough rest and sleep each
night.
The old-time calisthenics were
especially valuable for strengthen
ing various parts of the body
which might not be particularly
called on In the sport to be under
taken.
Football requires more pre- sea-
son training than do other sports,
except for long distance running,
which may require an exceedingly
long training period. Wind and
endurance are developed only by
repeated exercises day after day.
gradually Increasing length and
intensity of work.
Watch Weight
The athlete can determine his
physical condition very simply
by watching his weight and by
finding out whether he does his
work with more ease and with in
creasing endurance. The weight
chart perhaps is the simplest
method OF determining how any
Individual Is reacting to the train
ing program.
There always Is some loss Of
weight during any active physical
exercise. Most men lose from one
and q half to three pounds during
O game Of golf, and football players
may lose from seven to ten pounds
during a game of football. A man
in good condition tends to regain
his weight in less than "a hours.
If any player fails to regain his
lost weight for many days and
constantly Is dropping away from
his "best weight" he should have
special physical examination to de-
termine the reason. II the weight
reduction Is too rapid or too great
In extent, 1t throws a burden on
the heart, kidneys and other It's
sues which Is not safely borne.
1t Is recognized that the chief
signs of entertaining are staleness,
