Story That Terrible Turk Still Lives.
BY JOHN LARDNER
)ROF. JACQUES CURLEY, the
. importer and breeder of
wrestlers, was appalled, when
YOUR correspondent brought X

your correspondent brought to
his private ear the rumor that the
terrible Turk still Is alive.
Mon Dieu, not that" said the pro-
fessor, staggering back two or three
inches, but promptly regaining the
lost ground. why, the big fella would
have to be about 80 years old if he's
living"
Then, after a moments thought, he
added
Besides, am perfectly satisfied that
the Turk went down in midocean with
the Inflated French liner La Bour-
gogne in 1898-maybe he swan a
thousand miles under water and came
up in Turkey, but doubt it."
Your correspondent informed
Prof. Curley that he assumed no
responsibility for the rumor that
Ismail Youssoff still was alive.
1t Just happens that a nobleman of
Turko Ethiopian derivation, one
Prince Ali Youussof. is going about the
town asserting he is the brother OF
the terrible Turk and that the Turk,
far from inhabiting a watery grave,
today is a peaceful and respected citi-
zen of the Argentine. In fact. he
wants to wrestle again.
Fears Prince Is q Ribber.
WELL" said Prof. Curley dreamily
w It would love to see big Yous-
sof come back and rassle if he's still
alive, though he would be all of rs
years old today, if not 80. But am
afraid that Prince Ali Youssof has
been ribbing you, if you'll pardon the
expression. I do not know Prince Ali
Youssof, but I'm afraid that he's a
ribber."
Prof Curley paused moment.

story, but I will tell it to you to keep
the record straight"

circumstances of big Youssof's death.
"He says that the Terrible Turk
was not permitted to drown In peace
when the ship went down. During the
confusion on deck the Turk had what
you might all a natural desire to get

Predicts Stronger '37 Team.

Il 1NBLUSHINGLY, Marshall predicts
an even more formidable Redskin
team in 1887. This is a prediction
based chiefly on the result of the re-
cent draft Of the colleges, in which
the Washington team drew such
standouts as Sammy Baugh, the Texas
Christian passer; Flash Falaschi.
Santa Clara quarterback; Cain, back,
and Bond, a tackle. both from the Uni
versity of Washington; Elder. a back
from Kansas State; MacCarra, North
Carolina State end, and Eaves, an
Auburn end. Baugh. Falaschi and the
two University of washington players
are almost certain to turn pro, accord
ing to Marshall.
These rockies will battle it out with
q team of youthful veterans for the
IS jobs allowed under National League
law. The new backs will face the
trying task of beating out such rec
ognized stars as Riley Smith from
Alabama, Pug Rentner of North
western, Ernie Pinckert Of Southern
California. Cliff Battles Of West Vir-
ginia Wesleyan. Don Erwin Of Col
gate and Ed Justice Of Gonzaga. The
new linemen will face the equally
trying task of easing into what is rec
ognized as the best forward wall in
pro ranks.
The Redskins will mobilize in Aug
ust and set up training camp with
