Runners Equal Skaters 100 Yard Record

Speed-skating has held public in
terest and has a place in the Olympic
Games. In late years, however,
there has been greater interest in
figure e-skating."
Almost everyone who goes to the
moving picture theaters has seen
Sonia Henie perform on the ice.
People almost hold their breath as
they watch her twist and turn, spin
and Jump.
Sonia is of Norwegian birth, and
comes from country which has
given the world some of its greatest
skaters. In skating, as in skiing,
Norway ranks at the top.
More than once Sonia has won
the f1gure-skating contests at the
Olympic Games. She carried of the
highest honors in 1896, the last time
the games took place.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

When we see a speed-skater SKIM
ming across the ice, we may think
he is going very fast. So he is, from
one point OF view, but it may seem
he is going much faster than he
really Is.
The worlds fastest skater could
barely keep up with the worlds fast
est runner for a distance Of 100
yards.
In 1923 Charles Jewtraw set up
10O-yard record In speed skating on
Lake Placid, in New York. He
covered the distance in nine and
four -tenths seconds. That appears
to be the best official record made
on this continent.
Two American runners have COW
cred 100 yards in nine and four
tenths seconds. They are Frank
Wykoff and Jessie Owens.
Such is the story for a distance
OF 100 yards. For longer dis
tances, the skaters can make better
time.
A worlds champion runner may
cover a mile in four minutes and
seven seconds. The same distance
can be covered by champion speed
skater in three minutes or a bit less.
Charles Thunberg skated mile at
Lake Placid in two minutes and 38
seconds back in 1926.
When Thunberg skated that mile,

West opened the seven of spades,

South could count eight fast tricks,
but correctly decided that the
spades would run against him be-
fore he could develop diamond
trick. Then, II the lead had been
from a fve-card spade suit, as
seemed probable, the opponents
would take three spades and two
diamonds to set the contract.
South therefore decided to try for
the ninth trick in hearts. At the
second trick, therefore, he led a
heart and finessed dummy's jack.

Knocked out the spade ace. West
covered the next heart with the 10,

South should probably have been
playing the hand at five diamonds,
but that contract was little diff
cult to reach. 1t was correct to try
for the ninth trick in hearts, but
nine of hearts ride for finesse on

AS 1t happened, that would have
knocked out the queen, setting up
North's jack for the ninth trick.
But even if it had lost to the ten,

February

February, the month when the sun
begins to get little power behind its
rays. Sure, it can still get plenty cold,
but it can't last for long.
February was the last month in the
calendar until ASP B. c., when it was
placed second. The ancient calendar
contained only ten months. January
and February were added about TOO
B. C. February was named from the
Roman feast Februare-a feast of
urification-which occurred in this
season of the year. January was the
first month and February the last.
February causes mixture of emo
lions. Pm glad when it comes because
spring is not far away. Pm sorry
when it comes because it adds another
year to my age and cuts down my
time limit on this old earth.
But it's month Of great men, they
say (there's always exceptions to the
rule). Lincoln, Washington, Edison
are good examples.

"Sulfa" Drugs Powerful

Physicians declare these "sulfa"
drugs affect different people in diff
ferent ways. There's sulfanilamide
sulfapyradine, sulfadiazene, and may
be one or two others. They are power
full but must be used with caution.
Wyant McRobie, of Westernport
former Oaklander was quite i'll of in
fluenza and in a hospital at Keyser.
He had been pumped full of "sulfa"
and there were no apparent results.
The doctors were some worried.
In dead of night he got up from his
bed, grabbed a bottle of coca-cola in
each hand (Which some friends had
supplied earlier) and told the nurse
"Out of my way" He walked out the
corridor in his scanty nightshirt and
nurse got two other nurses but they
couldn't stop him. He walked out of
the hospital and down the street
where he stopped and knocked on
someone's door, arouSing man in
side "Open this door, these nurses are
treating me something terrible"
Convinced, the man opened the door
whereupon McRobie entered and col
lapsed. They got him back to the hos
pital and then the physicians really
were worried. But from that moment
he began to improve. And he still does
not remember anything about his
night visit.

memories. The public will get that.

Ye Faithful ScOuters

AT the scout anniversary dinner
last Thursday, the old mind wandered
back to those who started the Oak
land troop and those who have re-
NAMED faithful through the years.
The only scout of 1924 still active
in troop work is Bernard Gender, Jr.,
now assistant scoutmaster and pos
sessing more merit badges than he
can wear on his coat.
The founder of the troop, Rev. A. j.
Torrey, is still active in scouting, al
though not able to remain active with
the Oakland troop due to moving
away.
The first troop committee was COM
posed of F. E. Rathbun, Lawrence
Fraley and Donald R. Sincell and the
latter is the only one to remain on the
active troop committee continuously
since 1924.
The first Court of Honor, organized
in October, 1925, had thirteen men,
and of this group DR.. w. W. Grant,
II. A. Loradtch and D. R. Sincell still
remain active Among the thirteen
were Walter W. Dawson and H. L.

about two years ago. Other members

another passenger on the train bound
for here.

land at customary speed and when the
passengers realized their predicament
they began to argue.
The conductor finally agreed to stop
at Terra Alta, refund them $500 for
taxi fare to Oakland. Accordingly
they detrained at Terra Alta and en-
gagged taxi. Ten miles later they ar

Given Official Standing
Recognition of this tournament by
the Eastern Amateur Ski Association
has given it official standing and its
results will be a matter of record in
the skiing world. Just what form of
prize will be awarded winners has not
yet been determined, but for the mo-
ment medals are being talked of. The
events will be open to anyone who
wishes to enter them. A fee of so
cents per entry will be charged and
the proceeds will be used to defray
expenses.
AS to the pronunciation of the word
skiing there are two schools-and
both are correct. One of them calls it
"sheing" with two meanings, both
correctly which is the German version
of it; and the other calls it just plain
skiing, which is Norwegian. There are
those who contend that since the
sport was invented in Norway prefer
ence should be given to that pronun-
citation, but it is matter of choice.
The kind of snow best suited for
skiing has been defined not by Nor
wegians, but strangely enough by
Japanese scientists, members of the
faculty of the Hokkaido Imperial
university. Two years ago they made
tests on the powder snow on the
slopes of Mount Tokati on the most
northerly of Nippon's principal
islands.
Powder snow, they found, forms
from the tiny, star-like snow crystals
by process of thawing and re-freez-
ing. This converts them into round,
dense little units resembling the min
ute particles which make up talcum
powder, say. This is ideal skiing snow,
since it packs instantly, with ice-like
smoothness as the ski shoe passes
over it.
