Flaherty Discovers Variety
Of Class in 'Skin Recruits;
Abbitt Is Quickest to Learn

with unusually large legs and makes a
good back to be running on quick
opening plays. His speed also makes
him dangerous in the open field and.
in addition to these qualities, he is a
good kicker .
Bob Masterson, another surprise
package from Miami. is the slashing
type OF end, exceptionally fast and a
good pass receiver. I expect Mas
terson to make great name for
himself in professional football.
Bill Moore, another end from North
Carolina, Is very clever pass receiver.
He is fast and handles the ball beau-
tifully in catching passes. He also
is big and rugged enough to be a good
defensive man
Mickey Parks from Oklahoma Is an
exceptionally good offensive center
and 1t is almost like having an extra
guard in there blocking on offense
Not many centers can do as good job
OF blocking after passing the ball as
Micky and, in addition, he is a good
defensive backer-up.
Stralka Has Ideal Physique.
Glen Stralka. from Georgetown, has
the ideal build for guard. being short
and squatty. He is a good defensive
lineman and when he is taken out OF
a play he RECEIVERS fast. Usually
though. he is hard to take out.
Dick Tuckey showed the kind OF
back he was last Sunday and the
former Manhattan star proved another
pleasant surprise by his ball-carying
We knew he was a good passer. He
hits the line very hard, is a capable
runner after he gets beyond the line
OF scrimmage and is hard man to
knock of his feet.
Jay Turner of George Washington
Is fiery type Of player with q lot Of
spirit. He is good blocker and a
good defensive man every minute he
is in the game.
Wee Willie Wilkin. due to his size
and speed, should be great tackle
He is smart and learns fast and is
another player whom expect to make
a name for himself

Holding that no man is a sure shot
to qualify in the field OF SO who will
play for eight places over the 36-nole

right down the line offering the
tempting odds Of to 5 against any

he has given far more liberal quota

Overton and Bobby Brownell, ard
when you do that you're really step
ping into what may turn out to be a
flrst-class licking in the neighborhood
Of the pocketbook.
Parker IL no sap In any

what it's all about.
But in my book guys like Overton,
Greiner and Brownell are about as
sure shots to qualify as you could find
IN any field anywhere in this sector.
Big Shots Can Miss.
Anything can happen" says Nolan.
Suppose these fellows run into an

ing about it. They can all miss. I
don't see where there's a sure shot In
the field to qualify. I'm not too conf
dent myself and I've always felt I
could play this course" And the boys
have really climbed on the band
wagon.
When word gets around today and
Nolan is making on that qualifying
round he'll be so loaded down with
bets he'll either need truck to carry
the money away Tuesday night or he'll
need another checkbook to pay of.
Maybe he's right, too. for golf
is one game where form Is eva

happen.
Il figure there are about 20 guys in
this field who should qualify" says
Parker. "All of them can't make it,

Horses Have Many Tricks
For Covering Weaknesses.

Horses have million tricks for
covering up their weaknesses. Take
for instance, horse which has the
morphine habit in an advanced form
No artist ever has succeeded in paint
ing the complete extent of the de-
pravity and cunning of the thorough
bred horse. After taking the dope, he
will stuff his mouth with peppermints
and chewing gum to disguise his
breath, Look him in the eye, and he
will leer innocently back at you. Speak
to him and he will shrug your ques-
tions off with nonchalant who can
tell?" or 'whatll you have yourself?"
while all the time his guilty hide
Is teeming with knockout drops
That is the only way you can ex-
plain the dope habit among horses
unless you lay the blame upon the
owners, the commissioners and the
alleged sportsmen who control racing
For no horse ever asked to have his
breed improved-and no owner or
commissioner ever can tell you with
q straight face that he runs his bus-
ness for the benefit of the horse The
rich owner is in business for his per-
sonal pleasure The small-tme owner
Is in business for profit The commits
sioner is in business for the salary it
pays him, or to front for the owners.
You hear a great deal about the
dirtiness of the fight racket The
fight racket could take lessons at the
knees of the horse-racing racket. And
the horse racing racket is a racket
because Of the owners, the commits
sioners and the track operators.
Don't blame the mobster who pays
to have horse doped-or the groom
who takes his money and dopes the
horse Blame the men who claim to
improve the breed, and who have i'm
proved the breed to such an extent
that the thoroughbred horse today is
the weakest. most defenseless living
creature. for his size and weight.
When plow-horse breaks leg, the
veterinarian heals him. When the
thoroughbred sprains his ankle. the
boys come out and shoot him very
dead where he lies

HIGHEST SINCE PRICE

MORE THAN HALF

Sub-district and district basket
ball receipts at the new high
school gym totaled 81, 1920 for
the six nights, a new high since
admissions were reduced from IS
cents and 81 about 1O years ago.
Tourney dividends worked out
at SIT for each of the II schools
represented, totaling $780,, Other
items listed as expenses included
officials fees, balls, trophies,
gymnasium expenses, insurance,
tickets and posters, postage, tele-
phone calls, and team transpor-
tation. With the dividend, total
expenses were 81 ,650.36.
Redwood Falls was allowed
S105 for use of the auditorium
gymnasium and the undistributed
balance of $48.8O was added to
the district treasury to make a
total on hand of $199.32.
School officials here believe
that if bad weather had not cut
down attendance at sub-district
games, between $500 and $500
more would have been taken in
without additional expense.
Years ago, with high admission
charges, about $4,000 a year was
realized at tournaments.
