Jimmy Bronson, who keeps
his eye on all boxers amateur

much impressed with Joe
Moran. He became convinced
that here was one college man
who would go far among the
leather pushers. The boy had
speed, courage, strength, hitting
power and an instinct for the
game. All he needed was ex.
perience. There are few better
judges of fighting flesh than
the bow-tied Mr.. Bronson, and
he was sure he had another

from upstate New York.
When, in his first two pro-
fessional starts, Moran beat the
veterans, Bucky Lawless and
Hans Mueller, Jimmy was more
impressed than ever. Those
fellows weren't champions, but
they were hard game for any.

and college boy who could
trim them must have plenty.

That is the comment Of Win

ton. johnson adds:
"The addition of George M.
Lott, jr., and Lester Nj. Stoefen
to the Bill Tilden and Ellsworth
Vines combination offers just
about as fine a tennis treat as
could be looked for. Those
who think Tilden is long over
due are sure to be surprised.
I think until Tilden gets fur
ther along on the trail he'll

Here in Washington the ad.

ported larger than last year. Ath-

day begins the installation of an

Few know that a specially

Speculation on the outcome of
the matches gives Tilden and

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 9.-HoW short
are shorts?
For girl athletes, according to
an old Amateur Athletic Union
rule, they must measure two
inches from the knee cap"
This obsolete rule has been
struck out, however, reports Miss
Dee Boeckmann, chairman of the
National A. A. U. women's sports
committee.
"The matter was called to our
attention by a representative Of
the Allegheny Association at our
last convention in Miami" Miss
Boeckmann said. HE had banned
girl track stars from a meet be-
cause their trunks did not con-
form with the rule book regula-
ton. This states that girls
trunks must measure two inches
from the knee cap.' However, the
committee struck out this obsolete
ruling and voted that hereafter
girls shorts may extend half way
between the hip and the knee

CUTOFF MIGHT
Be ELIMINATED

Is Coulee City again to be put
back on the Sunset highway. Or
rather; is the Sunset highway to be
changed from it's present route a
mile north of town and causeA
again to come Though the city.
This is a question which has been
Occupying the thoughts of our citi
zens for the past week or more as
state highway engineers have been
engaged in surveying new rout e
from the east.
According to survey stakes, the
new poute takes off AT Che socaA
ed Dead Mans curve, seven CT
eight miles east of town Instead
Of crossing the track there as at
present, it stays on the south
side. leading off in southwestei
~ direction, skirting the north
side OF the airport, Passing thru
town on Walnut street and con
tinuing on west on the old rail
road Grade near the Standard Oil
plant.
During the Hartley regime, the
powers that be, saw fit to deprive
Coullee City of the highway and
put 1t a mile north of town. This
Was done, So it was said, to make
"A shorter and more direct route
to the coast. AT that time many
mere contended that better and
more direct route was through
town and out over the old rail
rad grade. which evidently, is
now the thought of highway off
Gals.
During the years since the cut
off was built, Coulee City people
have host thousands of dollars in
tourist trade. The fact that the
route is now being resurveded
and thta there is a chance of re
gaining it, is very gratifying TO
those who have been constant anu
earnest boosters for the town.

This encoura geing progress to

cause it is the purpose of the Farm

by assisting them to get their obi

able repayment basis. While crop
conditions in the 18th FCA district
are spotty this year higher, prices
for most commodities, especially
live stock, have given farmers a

Mr.. Adams pointed out that
Land bank borrowers are Meaning

Such "a repayment record of
