That's ap prOxmateIy the way it went everywhere with a these affairs.
 From the evidence of 1t all, and from things seen and heard here in New Orleans, where an un- usual number of coaches and sports writers from all over were gathered. Bowl football and interco- legiate football in general are going nto new era of tremendous business. They're evidently ripping the wraps off at least in certain portions of this big New Years Day money.

Great Stunt At
ROdeO Grounds
DAREDEVIL DECKER WILL
JUMP CAR OVER
BUS tE +,

Dare Devil Decker, the man
who drives a car up a twenty foot
ramp, jumps it off over a trans
continental bus and crashes into
seven parked cars, had bad
recommendation from Joe Ford,
publicity manager with the rodeo
here Friday, Saturday and Sun
Gay at the Municipal Stadium.
Il wouldn't ride from here to
the next block with him." Ford
said this evening. Il rode out to
the rodeo grounds with him and
my heart hasn't gotten back in
the right place yet.
1t is no wonder that Dare Devil
Decker just doesn't give a darn
when he gets behind the steering
wheel of a car, because anybody
who does with. a car what he
does couldn't have nerves. Just
a few Of the tricks he pulls are:
rolling over a car three times,
crashing through brick walls, and
laying flat on the ground and
letting a five passenger sedan
run over him. At Lakeland, the
last place the rodeo and thrill
circus. showed, the steering wheel
locked as he headed up the ramp,
the car ran off the ramp sideways
and landed up against a high ten
sion pole, which shook with the
impact like . leaf in the wind.
Decker has spent a total of
one year and eight months in
different hospitals, with broken
legs, internal injuries and frac-
tured skull.
