we reveal ourselves as race
of mice OF men? II men. and
I truly hope that we are. We
will most decidedly not consider
having a third term president
in the White House. Who are
we that We dare to destroy this
priceless heritage that was be-
quethed TO US through the wis.,
dom OF our fore-fathers many
years ago.
The unwritten law against a
third term for any president is
no out-moded tradition or silly
superstition. Each succeeding
generation Of America has rec
ognized the fact that today we
have the oldest continuous de-
mocratic government in the
world. The greatest privilege

cradle progress by that unit during
the year 1910. Popular with his fel-
low riflemen, who admire him for
his of fair play and friendly
disposition, Haskell will have COM
plete charge of the club shoots and
the responsibility of seeing that the
necessary safety precautions are OBJ
served at all times. Having been
closely connected with the game for
so long, I doubt seriously if friend
Haskell will find time from his du-
ties to do any really serious shoot
ing, on his own behalf, but, know
ing him as I do, I don't think that
he will object. Serving his fellow
man seems to be one Of his favor
lite joys, and when Haskell IS In
charge Of any activity he automat'
ically commands respect without
having to buster to get it. one OF
his first jobs will be to supervise
an invitational shoot, statewide IN
scope, which has been Tentatively
scheduled for March 8 at the local
Sunset Park range. If present plans
materialize, this will be the first IN
vitational shoot to be held In Will
mington, and, likewise a grave re

chase of an iron lung.
Expects Big Crowd
Mike said he anticipated a good
crowd for Tuesday night. "for l
have one of the best cards I have
been able to give the people here"
The opening bout will match Jim
Grandovitch, burly behemoth the
mat who does.not deign to use means
other than those prescribed in the
rule book, and Ernie Powers, a Crap
pier who has made quite a name for
himself in wrestling circles over the
state.
But the main bout is the one
which is most to Mikes liking and,
according to Mike, will meet with
dppI ODdIlOll NhS A@AA
1t will match Dick Lever, the Tenn
essee Terror who apparently has
never read a rule book and who
doesn't recognize the existence OF a
referee, against Ray Wilmer, form
er st. Louis wrestling coach who IS
something, of a Sir Galahad OF the
ring.
Lever has aroused the ire of the
mat fans here in past bouts with his
questionable tactics and last week
disqualified by the referee when ne
failed to heed his warnings o
roughness and after he fouled his
opponent frequently.
On the other hand Wilmer has al
ways had a reputation here OF beng
on : of the cleanest and fairest wrest-
lers in the ring and is generally the
favorite of the males and n oar
ling of the women.

one we heartily endorse, for there
are a number of lads in this Sec

(2) Prove of financial assistance to

idea and hope that any lads who
feel they might be interested will
contact us about it and let US know
how they feel about the matter.
Perhaps it isn't strictly a sports
