where the tail of a sheep is worth
more than a human life.
It is a bleak and desolate land
of horror and starvation.
It is a land where men have

it down like dogs.

have been peaceful farmers for
generations are turning into BAN

II is the famine area Of Central

By LEO o. GIARD Written for United PreSS)

Boston, April 3.-(UP)-This will be my fifth B. A. A. marathon race.
 In my first appearance in the classic back in 1928 at the age of 25. I finished 9th. The following year was 14th and in 1880, I drop ped back to 30th. So I gave up the idea until last year.
 Maybe the rest did me lot of good because I turned in my best performance, finishing fourth. That gave me confidence and this year I started training Feb. 1. I have been running three times every week to get in trim for the big race.
 Each Tuesday, run six miles. On Thursday I do nine miles and on Sundays, when I'm free from my duties as a printer, step it up to 12 miles, in and around my home city of Brockton.
 I expect to finish in about the same spot I did last year.
 For first place, pick Tarzan Brown of Alton, R. I. He ought to be able to repeat his 1886 victory. That boy has a lot of stamina and speed. My choice for second is Johnny Kelley of Arlington. He ought to give Brown a real battle. And Mel Porter of Newark, N. J.. looks good to me for the third spot
 It'll be a great race.

COLLECIANS ENTER
 NAUCY TOURNEY

Naugatuck, April 3.-Johnny Gre bauskas and his Collegians will en- gage in their second tussle of the T ster holidays tonight at the Y. M. c. A. championship tournament. Though losing to the strong K. of L. of Waterbury by eight points Wednesday night, these boys are confident they will get back in the win column again before they re- turn to their respective schools.
 Among the array of satellites per- f, rming with the Collegians are Johnny Grebauskas, former Prince ton captain and now assistant coac.l of the Bates Bobkittens. Johnny will be seen at left guard and his running mate will be Bill Crosby, also of the same institution. Charles Vaughan of Brown will be at center with Don Garrick and Red Scully of Duke and RoXbury Prep, respectively at the forward posts. mong the other performers with the Collegians will be Johnny Daikus of Bates, Bill Stein of Brown and Bill Garfield of that strong Rhode Island State team this past year.
 MT. Benham will coach the team and place the players as he sees their play.
 : The Collegians will play the first game at 7:30 o'clock, against the Y Leaders ahead of the championship game of Naugatuck.

Fourthly, if you play quickly, or skip a few holes, you can be back in time for breakfast.
 Big Idea
 And, finally, by going out at day. break you are back in time to get your score posted on the board for the others to see before their start. And that places a tremendous psy- chological burden on your oppo- nents. For example: suppose go out Monday and come in with a 1O4. The natural thing for every one of my foes to think when he sees that is: Holy Jumping Jupiter! Is the course that FOUGHT"
 Then they'll press and the quail flying medal will be mine.
 But the clincher on how the field fears me in this tournament came when the officials tried to find someone to play with me. They ask ed dozens of players and every one of them refused. They didn't give any reason, but the reason is ob- .vious. They are afraid to match their games with mine. Afraid that shame for their strokes would throw them of their games. Okay, I'll play by myself. And then I really will post a score that will throw them into panic. I believe can say with out fear of successful contradiction that if the officials don't find some one to play with me between now and Monday, and I have to play alone, I'll hang up course record that will live as long as golf is play ed. Hel, II wouldn't be surprised if I didn't go right out and bag myself 8 52--20 under par.
 After have won this tournament I plan to turn professional and make the National Open, British Open, P. G. A., and upper New Hampshire invitation, my aim. That would be better than Bob Jones ever accomplished, because in all the years he played gilf, he never won the New Hampshire invitation.
