Y 4 the first after a three-year
lay-off, was a complete sue
cess as a bulging Brookland gym
alone testified. Not only was every
seat in the hall filled, but even the
aisles and runways were jammed to
overf1owing. 1t was by far the largest
attendance to witness an event at
Brookland and even surpassed the
record breaking throng that saw the
Tilden tennis matches early this
Winter.
A snappy program of boxing COM
edy skits, dancing, music by the uni
versity band and glee club figured in
the more than 20 acts.
Perhaps the high spot Of the pro-
gram was the Ballet Francaise. which
went over so big that the seven husky
foot ball players that will make up the
1885 C. U. line were called back for

You never may have heard of Ross
Allen Of Ocala and Silver Springs, but
for all that he puts on an act that
leaves him 2 up on Dizzy Dean or
Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig or Lefty
Gomez, Schoolboy Rowe or Mickey
Cochrane.
Ross Allen is 22-year-old giant, 6
feet l. weight 200 pounds, who makes
his living and gets his fun in the
Everglades catching diamond-back
rattlesnakes, giant alligators, panthers,
bears, wildcats and even black-widow
spiders
He distributes these specimens all
over the United States for so much
per specimen, but, outside Of the cash
details, he admits this form of making
a living brings him more thrills than
any game he could play.
At the age Of % he already has
surrounded and captured $500 rattle
snakes, most of them big diamond
backs-and you can make only one
error.

the season about to open.
The lacrosse team, which will inau-
gurate action next Saturday against

reached an advanced stage and has
been scrimmaging for more than
week, with the following making up
the tentative first string:
John Herold, goal; Sam Silber and

bro. first defense; Buddy Yaeger or
Jim Hart. second defense; Ike Rab-
bitt, center: Ramsay Thomas, second
attack; Herb Brill, first attack; John

linger, in home.
This Is a capable outfit, the at
tack being particularly potent. Ellin-
ger is the only soph to break into
the lineup, all the others being
letter men except Herold.
Henry Schaaf and Oden Bowie, de-
ferse; Jack Kelly, goal, and Pierce

man McAboy, regular third sacker last
year when Nelson played short, will
report just as soon as his hand, bro

"I suppose It was catching and

dive to catch it before it reached
deeper water, but, as I hit the water.
realized that the alligator had
turned instead of continuing its
flight, and was charging me with
wide open jaws.
at seemed for a second that I
couldn't miss that tunnel of teeth, but
made a quick dip and just slid
under. I could feel his stomach scales
as we passed. Then I made quick
turn and grabbed his jaws. BY that
time we were In deep water and the
grass was thick. The big gator sank
like lead and began to roll. felt
that I was suffocating and found that
we were entangled in the grass at the
bottom. After what seemed month,
with all his convulSive jerking and
