JOINS STOCK
CAR CONTEST

Joe Wilbur second place man in
the National Championship stock
car standings filed his entry today
for the 100 mile stock car classic at
Imperial Fair grounds next Sunday,
according to word received from
race headquarters. Joe in trying
out the track today said 1t will GER
tainly be fast and though he ex-
poets to win he says the width of

of competition. Wilbur classed the
track as the best in the state.

narrow escape while trying his
No. out today. Coming out of the
north turn Frank crossed up and
hit the inside bank, the car going
over the bank and landing on all

opinion that their entry will be
hard to beat. Rail birds that were
clocking the try outs today were of
the opinion that the race will be
plenty fast.

the technical staff and will help to
see that they are not hoped up

Bench

BY BURDETTE KINNE

Maybe the beer helped but your
Bench Warmer finds himself in a
reminiscent mood today one
of those times when the glorieS OF
the present seem dimmed by the
-hallowed feats of heroes of the
past 80.
Walter Wakefield F.. the Cnetral
quarterback of 81 or % (the Bench
Warmer was one of the moppets
crawling under the fence in those
days. who ran kick-offs back from
behind his own goal line -.
Kenneth Grumbles national
intercollegiate low-hurdles cham
pion who got his start on the Spart-
an track team after training by
chasing jack rabbits on his fathers
ranch. Grumbles came within three
fifths of a second of the worlds 40
yard hurdles mark
Ed House, who after showing his
heels to the best in Imperial Valley
in the 100 ana 220 went on to be
captain of uses track team
Tommy Fisher who with
House and Grumbles won the south
ern California junior college track
meet for Central ;.
Dick Weiner of Brawley who was
consistent point winner for use
for three years in the 220 and 100
;, after breezing in ahead of all
valley sprinters with yards to spare
| while on Brawley highs track squad
: Russell Byrd q. who scored for
Central as quarterback in '26 from
his own 10-yard line frequently and
apparently with little Or no effort
And "old big Bill Peters" who
played full-back for Central for
four years straight, played basket
ball, tennis, baseball, and ran the
440, the relay, and put the shot in
track, and made letters in all five
sports
;. In more recent days [.
Leroy Kirkpatrick who starred
in football, basketball, and track for
Central and then barely missed
making the Olympic team last sum-
mer. Kirkpatrick set new high
school worlds record in the hurdles
To draw a moral, which is rare
for The Bench Warmer, even with
beer for encouragement, from the
glories of Central's other days &.
the athletes of the current era
should after looking over the rec
ords be encouraged to strain just
that extra necessary amount to sur
pass the marks already established
and they will!

trounced the ]. c. alumni quints

and as a result pulled into a COM
Portable lead as the game ended.
Gilliland hit the hoop consis-
tently in the first half to keep
jaycees in the running and banked
a shot through the netting as
the half ended to put the Nomads

must be awful good or awful pow
erful out there.

By the time this reaches print,
Evelyn Collins, now living in Cedar
Rapids, Iowa, will be tied to that
nice looking lad she's been going
with ever since she's been down
there. That's the way it is-once
you fall for one of those Iowa lads
(Iowa City in particularly you can
never call your heart your own
anymore. Heart-thiefs they are,
that's what they are. Well, I hope
the kids will be happy. That
song about the emusic goes round
and round" is as catching as case
of measles.
S'help me I got a phone call
yesterday which almost scared the
daylights out of me. A Mime
apolis married lady wants me to
make it known in this col-yam that
she is perfectly aware of the fact
that her hubby is chasing around
with "the other woman" and that
she knows where he has been on
those nights he has given all those
silly and absolutely phony
alibis. Furthermore, if he doesn't
stop all of the foolishness very
soon, she is going to sue for di-
vorce. Well, I've obliged by doing
the bit of printing she asked, but
on accounta' about a half dozen
Minneapolis married men are chas-
ing various bits of fluff, the inter-
probation of this warning might
cause a mass panic among the tied
males of the town. Wouldn't it
be funny if six Of our prominent
social lights and near social lights
suddenly found business-out-of-
town for the next few weeks?
More Engagements! In the
younger crowd this time. Pretty
Georgiana, Richardson and Jake
Collins are going to take a trip
to the altar sometime in the future.
Ditto Clarence Underwood and De-
lores Stone. S'help me, they start
getting married nowadays before
they even get out into the worldly
swim good.
The Debutante party last Friday
night gave a swell exhibition of
what beautiful and divine creatures
are poisoning out around here.
Some Of the older gals are getting
uneasy about it, too.

my instructors grabbed me when
I was leaving class this mawning
and said: "Miss Dodson, did I
give you a 81 in this course for

over my face. What do you think
he seq? He SEE:
"Well, I don't know what I gave
you a 'B' for! Unless it was for
that magnificent bluff you made on
the final exam"
Of all the blankety-blank nerve!
The old dodo was just warm be-
cause I came to class late twice
already this quarter, that's all. So
I made a bluff on the final, Ell?
Well, I did not. You can't get

HERE AND THERE: When
Andy Clark takes petite Annette
Hatton out to a party, he spends
most of the evening glowering at
any other males who dare to ap-
proach the lady. My hat off to
a real social correspondent, Els
Bradley. I still think the fun
niest thing I've ever seen was Earl
E. Shamwell falling down the
stairs one night at a party, land
ing on his feet, and saying mourn
fully: 81 must have missed a
STEP" Incidentally, last Satid-
day night, George James told Sham
that he could eat up all the Ham
burgers in the Mickey House.
Sham took him up on it, and
ordered five 'burgs. George gulped
them down in Wimpy fashion while
Earl's eyes popped open. But
EarPs trouper, so he ordered four
more for Gawge. Gawge did away
with them in one-half of nothin'.
Earl was beginning to wonder if
mebbe he shouldn't have been so
quick to take Brother James up on
the Hamburger proposition, but it
was too late to back out, and so
he ordered a couple more 'burgs.
By this time Gawge was beginning
to look greenish in the face, and
Earl was beginning to feel sickish
all over on accounta' the whole
damb business was getting to be
kinda expensive. Fortunately
Gawge decided that mebbe Ham
burgers weren't so good when you
took so many of 'em on at one
time, and he called it quits. What
next? .. Somebody poured giggle
soup into the goldfish bowl over at
a Minneapolis New Years eve
pawty, and the poor little fishy-
wishys ups and dies. Yessir, they
turns right over on their liz backs
and ups and dies. Who wouldn't
die, swimming around in a lot of
two-bit giggle-soup? Fannie
Mae Butler and Alice Short are
two new additions to the femmes
on the campus. &. . Bill Small was
murmuring some mad wordage at
that party Saturday night. He
sounded like Clark Gable in one of
his more romantic moments.
The most aristocratic swagger is
that one put on by Louise James.
Both F. Butler and T. Sayles
are receiving lovely, romantic let
tiers from Iowa City collegians.
No one can wear a hat so danger
ously atilt as Don Vernon. {.

ordered the license revoked and the
Commissioners approved the action on
August 5. Later the board reviewed
the case and found that the licensee
knew practically nothing of the busi-

Renewal of the license was ordered

legged sales of liquor for resale pur-
poses to a man not holding retail
license had been preferred because of
acts OF her husband, not Mrs. Delisi.
