Ward Cuffs Record Compares
Fav0rably With that of
Kansas Star

Hes strong, he's fast, he's
agile"
Those are the descriptive phras-
es used by Conrad Jennings, track
coach at Marquette university in
Milwaukee in defining the ability
of his ace track star, Ward Cuff,
to the author of Kuechle's Campus
Column in the Milwaukee Journal.
Cuff was one of Redwood Falls
High schools most stalwart ath-
letes.
The interview was granted be-
fore Cuff displayed his talents at
the dual meet Saturday with the
University Of Minnesota when he
won two firsts, broke a well estab-
lshed record and walked off with
II points for high honors of the
day.
1t all came about when the
Journal writer started comparing
the ability of Ward with Clyde
COffman, a member of Uncle
Sans last Olympic team. When
he found that Cuffs marks exceed
ed those of Coffman in six of the
ten decathlon events, he quizzed
the athletic director as to the
possibility of Cuffs entering the
olympics to be held in 1856 in
Berlin, Germany.
Cuffs coach firmly believes
and says that Cuff has $3.50
chance of becoming member of
the 1886 Olympic team. He also
believes that he has a chance of
becoming one of the outstanding
decathlon men of the country.
1t is hard here in Redwood Falls
to accurately size up the situation
when Ward is exercising his track
wares more than 500 miles away
so, let the following story from
the Journal speak for itself:
"Mr. Conrad Jennings of the
Marquette Jenningses sneaked a
peek in his little crystal ball the
other day, and whether you ordin-
arily believe in these things or
not, you now have to hear of the
amazing thing he saw.
There was the Olympic stad-
ium at Berlin in 1886 with all its
crowds, its flags, its bands. There
was the parade of athletes gather
ed from almost every corner Of
the world-and there, in the tri-
color of Uncle Sans Olympic
shield-there was none other than
the big, burly sophomore, Ward
Cuff of Marquctte.
"Just a dream you say, for
Cuff, a Redwood Falls (Minn.) boy
in his first year Of competition on
the Hill, still has quite a ways to
go. But Jennings insists his cry
stal doesn't lie and, If you'll list
en- in this particular case, he's
ready to prove it doesn't.
"Cuff, if he develops as Jen-
nings thinks he should, will be
one of the outstanding decathlon
men in the country by 1886, with
a $3.50 chance that he'll win a
place on the team.
"It's all new to him as yet,
this kind of competition" Jen-
nings explained after he had tuck
ed away his little ball, "but if I
know decathlon man when see
him, he's one. He's strong, he's
fast, he has fine spring in his legs
and he's a good competitor. I'll
be disappointed if he doesn't win
a place on the team"
ut isn't entirely that the wish
is father to the thought either, for
the 195-pound Cuff, in practice or
in competition, the last two months
has performed in nine of the 10

Everyday Psychology

The mechanical equipment OF man
and beast Is as curious as 1t is useful.
For instance, what is the meaning Of
a sneeze? Still better, why do you
usually show your teeth in rage?
There was a time when the curious
assumed that sneeze was a sort of
Salutation something like God bless
you" The idea was that the sneezer
was getting rid of some "evil spirit"
He was demonstrating his goodwill
by saluting you with a sneeze. For
that very reason snuff was used in
social circles. At one time only those
Of certain recognized social stand
ing were permitted to use it.
Sneezing has. however. a more noble
history. No doubt our far-remote an
cestors sneezed at will. They resorted
to this strategy so frequently that it
became a biological habit. and was
passed on to us as such After all,
sneeze tells story of the prevalence
Of insects and flowers in the days Of
long ago. A sneeze was a method of
getting rid OF foreign bodies that were
ever trying to attack the respiratory
organs.
AS for the reflex of the curled lip
in rage. We have in il a fear-engenGer-
ing mechanism, passed on by in
heritance because it was useful. even
vital. To show your teeth is the an
cient way of communicating your de-
ciSion to 60 to war tooth and nail"
