Safe Counsel: Use Chains
For Bad Heather Driving

CAFE counsel for bad driving
- weather, according to police
officials and safety engineers, is to
use tire chains.
This warning was issued today,
with winter driving conditions pre-
vailing, after the report of the Ma
tional Safety council that 28,140
persons died in traffic accidents
during the first nine months of
1887, an increase of 9 per cent
over the same period last year.
With greater driving danger in
winter because of ice and snow,
police officials and safety en-
gineers warned that tire chains
provide the most positive anti-skid
and traction yet developed.
The Contest board of the Amer
lean Automobile association, in Of
fetal test No. 3143, conclusively
proved the greater margin of safe
ty and stopping ability provided
by Weed tire chains. Vividly IL
Illustrating their imperative neces-
sity on snow or ice, the AAA test
showed that chains, on rear
wheels only, stopped a car in 45.8
per cent less distance than when
no chains were used, and in 66.8
per cent less distance where
chains were used on all four
wheels!

Think"
Old Man Coffee's answer was a
grunt; it might have meant one
thing or the other. You're stalled,
son. You got no lead"
Sure we've got a lead"
''And where is that?"
'Just minute ago we were talk
ing about the peculiar way Bob
Flagg kind of eased into the Red
Rock, coming in through the back
way, cumming it in a cattle crate.
From what we know Bob Flagg had
fore-knowledge that somebody was
going to make a try for him. Now,
how did Bob Flagg come by that
fore-knowledge?"
Old Man Coffee did not re-
ply. Out by the corrals hound
moaned in its chest; the dog called
old Rock awoke by Coffee's feet,
raised its head to listen, then blew
out a long breath and went back to
sleep again.
"Coffee-I'm thinking now that
when we find out how Bob Flagg
come by that fore-knowledge, Wen
have caught our man."
With an impatient movement Old
Man Coffee knocked out his pipe
again. "You want to know what l
think? l think, oh, hen!' You bet
ter go on to bed"
Obviously Old Man Coffee was
tired of arguing. Wheeler had been
trying to lead the old man out, and
it had got him nowhere. He rose
slowly and stretched. "Guess you're
right. Seems like you might need
some sleep, too"
"Slept all the way from Pahrana-
gat, on the top of my mule. I'll
get plenty rest sitting right here
with my pipe" He added irascibly,
"Or I will if the everlasting talky-
talk dries up"
Looks like it might slack off
some," Wheeler grinned. He went
in, furnbled his way through the
dark house to his room, flung his
gun belt on the floor, and lighted
his lamp.

Both Sides End Up
by Blaming Teams

I am not entirely satisfied with
"Pollyannas' and the "Pity Poor
U.s. groupings. Actually there is
very little difference between the
Pollyannas claiming the incest
things are going to happen in this
best of all possible worlds and the
Pity Poor Uses whining in advance
about the woes that beset them.
Both sets usually wind up by
blaming it all on the team Saturday
night. Meanwhile, since opposing
coaches and the operators of foot
ball pools are cynical men, they
have fooled nobody save people who
play football pools. And, since peo-
pie who play football pools deserve
to be fooled, that leaves everything
even.
1t also returns us to where we
started. Perhaps because, like 9TH
er voices of the people, alumni usu-
ally do their darndest in November,
I could try the rating once suggested
by the lamented sports commenta-
tor, Bill Mcclellan. This was,
Coaches sure of their jobs and
coaches who never say a word even
when the music prof fiunks the on
ly running halfback left with two
legs"
Yet, what good does that do us?
Almost Immediately we discover
that some of the men sure of their
jobs are SO new to success that they
have not yet had real opportunity to
make failure of it. Conversely,
some of the boys who have lost
everything save the franchise, took
their nose dive because they were
too SNUG while at the top.
That brings us back to the Rockne
rating-"Winners and losers True,
men who COMPOSE the groups often
interchange SO quickly that it is diff
ficult to tell VINO is coming and who
is going. Yet, with all other things
equal there are men who will fun
BILE and men who will go on for touch
downs. The essential difference is
there in all sports, Sometimes form
holds for day, sometimes for a
season. Anyhow, the public pays off.
And, come to think of it, aren't
sports very much like that greater
game Of politics?

Situation Is Change,
by Irish and Pitt

Only football had anticipated the
modern trend. There was, for in
stance, the matter of properly as
sorting the coaches. Once that had
been easy. You merely put them
into two groups, "lucky fellows with
jobs in the Ivy league" and "sad
agents hoping there would come a
day when they would have pay roll
big enough for them to compete with
the Ivy league in the higher educa-
tional field"
Then the classification changed.
Notre Dame and Pittsburgh, two in
situations which for years had been
doing well enough in preparing
young men for the travails of teach
ing and bond selling, enlarged their
scope. They began to win more
gridiron classics and to make more
money than had hitherto been
deemed possible for outlanders.
Forthwith the spotlight conferred
on the two men of undOubted genius
who had been responsible for this
pickup. With the generosity that is
proverbial among newspaper men,
the press credited each of them with
having a system. Other coaches
copied their strategy. Soon it be-
came the habit to refer even to
such long-established practitioners
as Gil Dobie or Hurryup Yost as
followers of the warner system"
or the "Rockne system"
Obviously there was some error
here and there in such groupings,
but the general rating was pretty
well accepted. One day I asked
Rockne if he believed there was any
sense in such RECOMMENDATION.
"No," he replied. There's only
one way to classify coaches Or
teams either, for that matter. Win
ners or losers. That's what it all
boils down to-"
Midway in another football sea-
son and knee-deep in gentlemen who
are claiming all sorts of new CLASH
ications as the result of municipal
and state elections throughout the
nation, I have been thinking about
that reply.
Confining myself entirely to the
sporting side, merely have been
wondering whether l could achieve
Immortality by classifying football
coaches in some new fashion that
will last as long as the goal posts
FOrdham has been SO diligently de-
Tending this year.

CHAPTER XIII

1t was very late when Wheeler
left Old Man Coffee Without check
ing the hour, he knew that morning
could not be far off; and he had
supposed that Marian was asleep.
She had ridden long way, not to
count that long climb of theirs
through the dark. In her own way
she outlasted the leathery strength
of men and horses and came
through clear-eyed and light-footed,
apparently untouched. But she
seemed so fragilely made that he al
ways underestimated the young
strength of her vitality.
So, he was thinking of her as
asleep, as he now sat down on the
edge of his bunk and rolled ciga-
rette. His long-boned frame rested
relaxed, but he did not look tired. ALI
his life had been spent in the saddle,
simply for the reason that the dry
country has few roads-few places
for roads to go-and the horse is the
only means of cross country trans
portation across mountain ranges
and sand dunes and the vast gulch-
cut plains. Ten thousand miles in
the saddle had hardened him until
he was made of braided leather,
and no less enduring than the runty,
unkillable range ponies. A few more
miles on the horse trails and a few
nights short of sleep could not tire
him now. His leanly-muscled face
yolr nd hi
gray eyes, made to look lighter than
they were by his wind-burned and
weather-leathered skin, were as
clear as they had been when he ar
rived at the "a. He let his ciga-
rette trail from corner of his
mouth, rested his chin on one hand /;
and, squirting through the thin up
ward-moving line of smoke, consid-
cred his next moves.
He must travel-that was certain.
What could be done here was done
the finding of Bob Flagg and Lon
Magoon. He must trace Bob Flagg
back to his sources, back through
Flagstaff, perhaps to the sold-out
Arizona ranch itself, seeking the
truth, for he was certain that Flagg
had shown more than a Fremont
ton of his death.
And he must find time'to run down
the "a debts, seeking ways to avert
its bankruptcy, at least for time.
He was wondering how far he dared
go against Dunn's order that no
penny of Wheeler money should
ever be CHANGED in the "a. Dunn
would be game to split the works
wide open, if he didn't like the way
salvation had been obtained. 1t was
up to Wheeler to find ways to get
around that, taking care that the
girl would never guess any obliga-
ton to him. That last was what
Dunn feared most.
But though his mind was laying
out routes and plans far outside of
the Red Rock country, he was some
how not surprised as Marian now
came and joined him here. To think
about any phase of this killing case,
or of the imminent ruin of Horse
Dunn's cow kingdom, was to think
about her. After all, the "a was her
brand, and her future was inter-
laced with its future. So now as he
looked up at the sound of her light
quick step it seemed a natural,
somehow expected thing to see her
standing there in his door.
''This is lonely night" she said.
Nothing anywhere in this night in

YEARS ago when Democrats and

easier for sports writer. Every
thing had tag on it, was classified
with seemingly as much perma-
hence as the two major political par
ties.
There were only two big leagues,
the American and the National. No

yet conjured up such cute labels as
