MIDLAND, Mich, Sept. 80.
Well, I don't know how to begin
this. I'm just country boy who
always used and liked gun. I've
had one ever since I was a kid up
in the Oscoda deer country, and
then during the war I learned
more about rifles with the Eighty
fifth Infantry.
But anyhow, about three years
ago, Sheriff Venner decided some
day the Cehmical Bank might be
held up. He knew I was a good
rifleman, so he deputized me and
told me to keep my .35 around.
He said the day might come when
my office window might make a
good shooting box. You know my
office is just above the bank.
REACHES FOR GUN
So I kept the gun at the office
and everybody kidded me about it.
Wednesday, I was going out to
lunch when I heard commotion
in the bank below. I went to
the window and saw two men
leaving the bank. Both had guns
showing plainly. They got in
their car, which was at the curb,
and raced the motor. I reached
for my gun and opened the win
dow. saw there were five shells
in the clip.
AS they went up Benson Street
fired two shots and hit the
rear window of the car twice. The
car swerved into a parked car
and both of them got out. I held
my fire until a woman and a
child got out of range. Those
.35 copperheads go a long ways,
and then fired. I could hear one
bullet smack into one Of the mems
shoulders. He spun like a top.
Then they both ran up to the
Benson Street bridge and hailed a
truck. This was a little out of my
range and a block away, SO I
punched the gun through the win
dow screen and leveled it by rest
ing it against the window sill.
DOES A BACKFLIP
I fired two more shots and one
of the bandits turned backflip
like an acrobat when one Of the
.35's hit him. I knew he was done
for.
The other bandit by that time
was out of sight and my gun was
empty so I put on my hat and
went out.
Editors note: The other ban
dit, wounded by one of DR.. Hardy's
first shots, later was captured ~
policeD
Don't max hero out of me in
this thing. I like to hunt and I
like to play bridge. Today, I'd say
I liked bridge better.

BY GRANTLAND RICE.

N VIEW YORK, Nov. 3.-Notre
nj Dame comes back to the spot
" light this week. Tied by
a Illinois-beaten by Carnegie
Tech-the star of destiny over South
Bend seemed to be fading out. For,
m addition to these two early jolts,
here were Minnesota and Pittsburgh
waiting in the road-rated with Cali
fornia as the great power teams of
the game-mass and class-speed and
drive-experience and skill.
Few teams ever have faced hotter
spot. But Notre Dame refused to
accept any hopeless situation. In the
Bright lexicon" of South Bend there
was no such word as fail" Notre
Dame came up from the floor, moved
into Minneapolis and beat one of the
strong teams of the year upon field
that had known no Gopher setback
IN many, many autumnS.
And now Pittsburgh is the next
stop-Pittsburgh at Notre Dame.
A year ago, Pittsburgh ran rough
shod over Notre Dame, 26 to 0. This
beating ranked, I know, in Elmer
Layden's system-in the system of
every Notre Dame man who played
that day.
Also Notre Dame and Pittsburgh no
longer will be playing companions
after this contest This is their last
meeting for some time to come Natu-
rally. Notre Dame is not going to
forget that $50 slaughter. And Pitts
bureh is equally keen to close out the
series with another march through the
Irish" line. Or around the Irish"
ends.

About California.

RAN INTO Keith Topping STAN
ford's star end, and Marshall
Duf1eld of Southern California.
Both agree that California has one
OF the best teams the West Coast ever
has known-f1ne ends in Schwartz
and Dolman-a whale of a line and
a set OF high-class backs. "A big part
OF CALIFORNIA; strength" Topping
said, belongs to Herwig at center
and Meek at quarter-who back up
the line. HeTwig is over 200 and fast.
Meek is 230 and just as fast. It's like
finding your way through a granite
wall. California has big team and
a fast team. Also an experienced
team. Vic Bottari is one of the years
best all-around ball carriers-and Vic
has plenty help. There isn't team
on the coast that belongs within two
touchdowns of the Bears. They should
be one of the hardest teams to beat
the Rose Bowl has known in a long
time"
Getting back to Notre Dame-I saw
the team that lost by rs points to
Pitt last fall come back a long way
In big hurry after this crack-up.
1t was an entirely different team
when the season ended. Even after
the Illinois and Carnegie games this
fan, Layden wrote me that Notre
Dame was a much better team than
it had proved to be at the start. He
proved this against Minnesota. The
same thing was true of Harvard
much better team than it looked to
be against Dartmouth.
So there should be enough fire.

No Figuring.

"A football team" says Ducky Pond,
comes up to certain peak and then
falls away We got flying start and
began to slip against Dartmouth. The
same thing happened to Cornell, to
Auburn, to Vanderbilt. This is sure
to happen unless you have 80 or IS
players to call on-which only a few
have. Pittsburgh could afford to leave
Daddio and Goldberg, her two leading
stars, on the sideline Saturday for a
resting spot. only wish Dartmouth
had thought about resting Mcleod and
Hutchinson"
Next Saturday California, Alabama
and Colorado look safe. Baylor's rec
ord is far better than that of Texas to
date-but Baylor has been on edge for
ffve weeks and no one can tell when
the crash will take place.
Pittsburgh hopes to finish her sea-
son unbeaten-but Pitt still has Notre
Dame, Nebraska, Penn State and Duke
left. And at least three Of these
teams are among the best in the
country - meaning Notre Dame, Ne
braska and Duke.
If Jimmy Crowley can crowd his
Fordham Rams past Purdue. he has
a stout chance to finish unbeaten. And
draw with Pitt is equal to a pair of
victories against most of the others
you meet.

yet to appear at local tourney is
assured, and the Washington Club
will put on special luncheon for the
contestants. They're proud Of their
new clubhouse out there at Washing
ton, and they want all their friends to
come out and see how well they've
done. That tournament is more than
likely to draw ITS women, which
would make it the biggest women's al
fair ever held around Washington.

billed as the star Of the District en-
