tailed five times and were de-
cidedly in the ball game.

much because the All-Americsns
haven Z a chance but because the

The collegians have the man
power and the individual stars with
which to win, but the big question
is whether they have the coordin-

which their professional rivals have
proved they possess.
Noble Kizer, Purdue, head coach
of the collegians, knows not what
to expect from his charges under
fire.
"The first quarttN will tell the
story said Kizer. IF we hold
the Bears in that period I think
we have a chance. Our main prob

Our boys are in good condition and
have shown fine spirit in practice.
George Halas, owner and coach
of the Bears, regards the game as
no test for his team, but for all Of
professional football.

Yachting is a highly technical
sport. It abounds in terms, phrases,
and nomenclatures which are stag
gering to most landlubbers, and
which makes even some seafaring
gentlemen stagger. 1t so happens
that I was brought up on the sea,
down in middle Georgia, and have
been familiar with yachting terms
since babyhood. In fact, one of
my earliest recollections is of the
family out in our rowboat, papa
up front fishing, mama rowing.
So, in order to help the layman
interpret the Americas cup races,
have compiled a glossary of the
sea. In 1t you will find most of
the terms that will be used in the
