as smooth basketball guard and
almost everybody knows what he

King Clancy has retired Aurel Jo-

He's starting his sixteenth season
with Les Canadiens-Among other
very good reasons why Helen Wills

tennis promoters will not offer
enough money. They say she would
be a good draw with the Park ave-

but would flop on the road-Herb
McCracken, former Lafayette foot
ball coach, now devotes himself to
publishing a scholastic magazine
and scouting Columbia for Stanford.
He rates Mayberry of Florida as
the best back he's seen in years.
Wrestling moguls are in the midst
of new under-cover peace confer
ence. This time they claim order
can be established in their pretty
profession if the Dusek boys are left
out in the cold-Bill Stewart, Ma

American born hockey boss but he
is not the only American citizen.

final papers last summer-"Funny
thing about that touchdown we
scored against Navy" says Column

'C'mon, gang, let's go rs yards for

Fudge Heffelfinger, all-time Yale

off and is forgotten as if it had

he no longer worried about what

Notre Danes first football game

good coaching job that they won on

lightest tackles of all time. Fully

Dartmouth, 113 to 0, in 1884, but even
at that there were some cempen-
sations in being an Indian gridiron
warrior in those days. The athletes
were fed rare roast beef three times
a day and for dinner each of them
had two mugs of ale, drawn from
a keg kept in the cellar of the train
ing quarters. Jim Thorp's longest
run for touchdown was an g0-yard
dash while Carlisle was beating
Penn in 1911.

Scalped Woman Is Given
Fine New Scalp and Ear

Chicago.-The case of a young
matron who, after being scalped
and losing her right ear, was given
a new scalp and ear made from
skin off her back and a piece of
cartilage from her rib, was re-
ported by DR.. James A. Cahill of
Washington, D. c., at the meeting
here of the American College of Sur
geons.
The woman was scalped because
her hair caught in the fywheel of
a power machine when she stopped
to pick up something that had fallen
beneath it. More than eight opera
tons, spread over 10 months, were
necessary to give the young wom-
an her new scalp and ear. The re-
suits are entirely satisfactory to her
now and the slight deformity re-
manning scarcely shows after her
headdress is in place.

Bic Losses Due to Smoke

Observation-Disclosures from 10
to 80 dollars is the annual loss sus-
tanned by each person in the United
States because of the atmosphere,
according to estimates made by the
public health service. The smoke
bill can be attributed to clothes
cleaning, disagreement of buildings,
damaged merchandise, injuries to
grass and plants, and the loss of
light and ultraviolet light.

Egg Yolks Colored as
the Customer Likes Them

Ithaca, N. Y. = The scientific
chicken breeder and egg farmer can
now supply eggs whose y0lks are
colored to suit the customers fancy,
if he follows the advice of Prof. H.
E. Botsford of the New York State
College of Agriculture at Cornell
university.
Control of the hens diet to let
her eat more or less of a certain
dye, xanthophyll, found in num-
Der of plants and grains, is the
method Professor Botsford recon-
mendS.
Customers generally prefer eggs
of a medium yellow yolk, he re-
ports. Extremely deep orange and
very pale yolks are not desired by
the average restaurant eater who
orders his ham and eggs each morn
ing.

Earth Shaft Ten
Miles Deep Needed
to Solve Problems
Scientists Think Such
a Project Is Possible

Rochester, N. Y.-Scientific
triumphs of the future-from
production of super-men to the
conquest of cosmic rays-were
forecast here at the annual
dinner of the National Academy
of Sciences.
When mankind has banished wars,
science may hope for so ambitious
a project as an international earth
shaft 10 or IL miles deep, said DR..
Arthur C.. Parker, director of the
Rochester Museum of Arts and Sci
ences. Such a shaft, far beyond
present depth to which the earth
has been probed, will enable scien-
fists to study earth structure down
where the mysterious cosmic rays
have no influence. There, man can
find out what it is like to avoid
these cosmic bullets that lombard
the earth from space.
When we get under the earth's
skin, said DR.. Parker, we may pos
sibly find that the cosmic ray is
''the sperm of life"
Romance in the Research.
Calling the study of hormones, Sc
creted within the body, challenge,
DIR. Parker said:
''There is practical romance in
this research for it means that the
! biologist of the future will have
controls within his grasp that can
produce the super-man or the super
woman, but, whether man or wom-
an will depend upon what deriva-
tive of cholesterol the bio-builder
uses. One can imagine also what
effect the use of this substance will
have upon the writer of fiction. He
will analyze the love between the
man and the maid. She was filled
with C27H45OH,' the writer will say,
and he was energized by liberal
amounts of C19H3OO2, which my
dear readers, is so powerful that it
sprouts combs on capons, so you can
see what it did to our hero.
Fuller understanding of how the
mind works, as master of the body,
was also forecast by DR.. Parker,
who said:
eve must look ahead for the true
answer, though 1 am well aware
that some psychologists will say
they can answer now. Still, / am
skeptical enough to believe that the
real answer to this question will be
one of the most startling achieve
ments of this century,"

When Willie Jackson
Fought Johnny Dundee

Of course, there were more digni-
fed proceedings upstairs, just as
there were down in the basement,
where Princeton's great HOBBY Bak-
er started his hockey career. But
who cares about dignity? On with
the show.
Jimmy Johnston brought Jem
DriscOll and Owen Moran here first
to astOund local fight fans with their
skill and speed. Gunboat Smith, in
his debut at st. Nicks, hit his OPP
ponent so hard that the fellows
left shoe went flying through the
air.
Abe Attell used to come here.
Stand with the gambling gentry in
the back and wager all the bobS he
could on himself. After hasty visit
to the dressing room, rush into the
ring and give one of his greatest
exhibitions. Then rush to the back
of the hall to collect his winnings
before changing again to street at
tire.
Willie Jackson fought here. Life
has not been entirely kind to Willie.
He gets in on Annie Oakleys now
when he visits fight clubs. But once
he drew over $4,000 against Johnny
Dundee at this club.
A guy had to be good to draw
that kind of money. But good ones
were always fighting at the St.
Nicks. Jack Blackburn, trainer of
Joe Louis, got his start here. So
did Mexican Joe Rivers, K O.
Brown, Jack Dillon, Mike Gibbons,

St. Nicholas Palace
Rich in Memories

In recognition of these men, the
ambitious kids willing to chance
beatings and small purses for the
sake of future fame, and the fans
who long have supported them so
loyalty, / am starting a new Sc
ries. Other fragmentary sketches,
written in the attempt to catch the
spirit of these Bulwarks of Boxing,
will follow from time to time.
st. Nicholas Palace (this year re-
named the Royal Windsor)-It was
here that Diamond Jim Brady, a
regular ringside patron, jumped up
from his seat to present Ted Kid
Lewis with a diamond pin from his
tie after one of Lewis swell brawls.
Sam Austin, now a boxing Judge,
was behind the bar in those days
"a bar a block lOng-and every
third drink was on the house.
A boisterous place it was soon aft
er it came into being SO years ago.
Jim Buckley heaved cop out of
the window one night when boxing
was banned in New York and the
law tried to stop one of Buckley's
membership shows. An injunction,
granted by the late Mayor Gaynor,
permitted Buckley to run his shows,
and he refused to let anything pre-
vent him from doing so. Even
though Ballyhoo Bill Brown, the
present tax-paid boxing commits
sioner, also was running member
ship" fights at his club on Twenty
third street and yelling loudly about
the opposition.
Many pickpocket was loose in
those unhallOwed days, too. 1t was
here that Joe HUMPHREYS jumped
into the ring one night when two
battIers were heaving leather. Bet
ter keep your hands in your pockets,
boys. You, too, Al Smith," Joe
roared. "a couple of boys from
downtown just walked in"

Too Many Kinds of Wheat

Neutrality-suspicious. than 200 dis
tinct varieties of wheat are grown
in the United States. Efforts are
now being made to reduce the num-
Der of varieties, to select, improve,

to find varieties most nearly suited

principal grain-growing regions.
