BOUILLON

DURHAM, Feb. S.-(R-A
bouillon of dextrose, salt and
water, given during half-time IN
t~ermissions, has enabled the
Duke university football team
to play the last 80 minutes of
its games with more pep and en-
durance, DR.. Frank Gregory
Hall, professor of zoology at
Duke, reported today.
This mixture, he pointed out,
replaces the three elements lost
through violent exercise-sugar,
salt and water-thereby reestab-
fishing the proper balance of
body elements and tending to
restore the players to the physi-
cal form they had before the
opening whistle.
IF a man is going to be in
his best physical FORM" the pro-
fessor said, you are not going
to benefit him by giving him any
stimulants. The player may think
he is playing a better game, but
he isn't. To play his best, he
must have endurance and CO.
ordination, and any stimulation
that increases endurance de-
creases coordination.
But it does help considerably
to replace those lost elements"

MORE THAN Us
ON FIGHT LISTS
-Four Fast Nights Of Furious
Fights Scheduled At
Legion Field

The biggest, fastest n mos
elaborate Golden Gloves tourna'
ment ever presented in Wilmington
will open Tuesday night at 8
o'clock at the exhibition building
At Legion field, just south OF Sun
set Park, with the finest array OF
boxing talent which the Star'News
and the Brigade Boys club has
ever been able to offer a fight
hungry public in Southeastern
North Carolina.
125 Entries
More than 125 boys have en-
tered the lists Of battlers who will
seek honors in the Golden ring and
four fast nights Of furious fighting
are in prospect.
The ring in the exhibition build
Ing has been attractively deco
rated. Chairs have been placed
at ringside and numbered so that
holders of ringside tickets may be
sure their seats will be reserved
fo- them, no matter at what time
they arrive at the building. Seats
and tickets are numbered CORE
spondingly and this year for the
first time, the holder of a rIngslde
ticket can know that if he arrives
to see the last round of the last
bout on any particular night that
his seat will be vacant and waiting
for him.
And those tickets are selling at
a rapid clip. They are on sale at
the Star-News offices at the switch
board and are also being sold by
members of the Senior Fraternity
of the Brigade Boys club.
There are only 1900 seats in the
exhibition building and indications
last night were there will be a
sellout each of the four nights for
the fight card this year is the
finest which has ever been drawn
here.
Smoky Dodd, of Raleigh, is the
latest noted fighter to make his
bid to enter the Golden ring and
indications are he is going to find
plerty of competition from men,
hers of the teams from Whining
ton, Fayetteville, Lumberton, Ro-
anoke Rapids and Raleigh a n d
among the more than 80 unat-
tached boys from over North and
South Carolina who have entered
the tourney.
Two dressing rooms have been
built in the exhibition building for
the fighters, equipped with cots On
which they may rest and with all
the accessories which properly be-
long in the dressing rooms Of a
fight arena.
The fighters will begin weighing
in Tuesday at noon and during the
afternoon will draw for their posi-
tons on the fight chart which will
determine whom they will meet Of
the four nights, Tuesday, Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday.
The tournament this year will
have three main features: An un-
usually large number of fights
each of the four nights; a program
which calls for the fights to be
staged in speedy succession; and
an unusually high caliber of punch
eroos who know how to fling the
leather, how to give and take. l

WHIRLAWAY WINS
AT HIALEAH PARK
Great Chestnut Colt Serves
Harsh Notice On Derby
Hopefuls
BY CAWTHON

MIAMI. Fla, Feb. 8.-R-War-
rem Wright's great chestnut colt,
Whirlaway served notice today on
other Kentucky Derby hopefuls
that he still likes to run in the
stretch.
Warming up for bigger races
later, WhirlaWay broke last in the
$1,000 Coconut Grove stakes at Hi
aleah Park. At the end of a quar-
ter-mile, the other four three-year.
olds in the six-furlong dash were
closely punched - eight lengths
ahead of the big Kentucky colt.
Then Apprentice Jockey Wendell
Eads started to cut down the dis.
lance and by the time they en-
tered the stretch Whirlaway was
trailing by only four lengths.
Whirlaway came charging down
the stretch, much as he raced last
year while winning more money
than any other two-year-old in the
country, and nipped Herbert M.
WooH's Signator at the wire in a
photo finish.
The Calumet colt, carrying III
pounds against 108 for each of the
other horses, was a $3.50 for two
choice and ran the distance in
I'LL 3-5. He paid $3.50 to place
and $40 to show. l

IL Hurlers Will Report
To Reds Training Cam

CINCINNATI, Feb. S.-R-Gar-
ribel Paul, head of press rela.
tons for the Cincinnati Reds, wasn't
kidding today when he ventured that
there ARE fewer pitching headaches
ahead for Manager Bill McKechnie
this year than for many a season
past"
Simple inspection of the club ros.
ter proved him right-on two counts.
An even dozen hurlers, standbys,
and rockies, are due to report on
Plant Field, Tampa, come two weeks
from next Monday.
That, Gabe pointed out, probably
is the smallest number Of any club
in the league-both major leagues,
for that matter"
