drawing quilted pads on the

Lum n Abner are on location"

A few months ago they left

Lum N Abner make an ideal
team. AS the usual rule radio
teams are brought together later
in life through radio contacts.
However, in the case of Lum and
Abner they have been close friends
for years. They are fraternity
brothers, Lum having attended the
university of Arkansas and Abner
the university of Oklahoma.
They are decidedly opposite
types. Lum being over six feet in
height, slender Of build, black hair,
dark complexion. while Abner is
short, stocky, and blond.

community life as found in the
more rural hill and dale sections
of the country, they carry a note
Of authenticity because they re-

versation and modes Of living o.

A A. Stage brought from Chicago TO play the
University of Pennsylvania at Franklin field. These
wads consisted of large patches of brown leather
sewn to the elbows of the Penn players jerseys,
and, whenever the ball was snapped, the Penn boys
would off in all directions with their elbows held
together in front of them.
The brown leather patches were the same color

a most dstreSsfu P. M. chasing these phantom
footballs and tacking everybody on sight amid de-
tackling the center and the guards and the

smart trick of the Penns, came around to the idea
that there something just trace dirty about it.

Rules Are Deceptive Things

A to whether the rules-people ever decided to
n forbid such deception thereafter I don't rightly
remember and, being no lawyer never can tell
what rule means by what it says; so it wouldn't
do any good to look it up in the revised foot
ball statutes. Anyway, such Wads are not worn any
more and the only type of nose guards which have
seen on the field in the last twenty years is kind
of iron mask which rests against the forehead, chin
and cheek-bones, and which is supposed to protect
from further injury nose which already has been
broken.
That doesn't do much good, though, because if the
with the broken nose is pretty good man and
the other team wishes to get him out of there, the
boys contrive to hit him bust from the side which
disocateS the mask and rakes his face and
lanes his nose all over again. The only safe way to
protect broken is to put it in sling and keep
it out of football games.
know these are little things which might not
matter much fifty years from now, but small irrita-
tons mount up and up, and it is almost enough to
drive party nuts to see pads and nose guards on
the football players in the pictures year after year,
and the sngShot still referred to as sug-sho
Slung-shot.
There are two kinds of sling-shot. One is made
with a little fork off tree, something like those
peachtree forks with which people who thinking
of digging well go walking around the field looking
for the place where the most water lies closest to the
top.
The fork, or crotch type of sling-shot is cumber-
and rather difficult to conceal in school,
whereas the simpler model can be tucked away in
very small compass in the pants pocket and
hardly be detected by teacher unless party care
lessy let's the rubber or the string dange out. In
that case of course it is just too bad and has

ISOLATION" The house raising, the
apple pairing, the squatters' associa
tons whereby they protected them
selves against spectators, the camp
meetings, the cattle raisers' associa-
tons, are few Of the indications
which Professor Turner cited in en-
phasizing the American trait which
in its later applications has come TO
be one of the most important fea-
lures Of the United States of today.
In 1913 this historian of the frontier
was saying. as if in prophecy of what
is happening today: America does
through informal association and un-
derstandings on the part of the PEG
pie many Of the things which in the
Old world are and can be done only
by governmental Intervention and
compulsion."
Here is the heritage that the cour
age of those who settled a wilder
ness left us: "A passionate belief
that democracy was possible which
should leave the individual part TO
play in free society and not make

common man, in his tolerance. his
ability to adjust differences with
good humor. and to work out an
