Right and Left SEEING

The right side of the brain car
ries on the work of seeing for the
right side of both eyes and the left
side of the brain performs the see
ing for the left side of the two
eyes, according to Better Vision in
stitute. Nerves connecting the right
side of the retina of each eye are
connected with the right occipital
lobe of the brain, and the nerves
fro mthe left in both eyes connect
with the brains left seeing center.
This arrangement assists the two
eyes to fuse together their pictures,
and also to provide depth to visual
pictures.

Nagurski Was Powerful

NdSuFSkl WdS greater power
back. He was also a great tackle
and a star end. Bronko was the
best all-around football player, in
GLIDING both backfield and line play,
that football has known.
No. 3. The greatest kicker-He
has already been mentioned. Thorpe
and Strong were the two best I've
ever seen. Ralph Kercheval of Ken
lucky was magnificent. Sammy
Baugh has been a great kicker for
over dozen years.
No. 4. The greatest passer-
1t is at this point that one can
wander off into the Jungle. The
choice gets down to two men
and if you know football at all,
you know who they are. Gus
Dorais, Benny Friedman, Ar
mold Herber and Ace Parker
were all fine passers among
many more. But there are only
two in that plateau country
above the field. They are SAM
my Baugh and Sid Luckman.
I've talked with many a pro and
run into many an argument that
involves this pair. Baugh is a great
kicker. Luckman is rated a better
field general. But when it comes to
passing you can make your own
selection.
l talked recently with one of the
best coaches in the National league.
For all-around team value" he
said, Il would rather have Luck
man than Baugh and Hutson COM
bined.
Il know how valuable Baugh is
l also know how valuable Hutson
was. But in running a team, COM
bined with his deadly passing, Luck
man is the most valuable football
player I ever saw"
Fe,v Coaches Would Agree
might add that the coach re-
ferred to wasn't George Halas but
an eastern entry. He would also
find few coaches willing to agree
that Luckman was more valuable
than Baugh and Hutson combined.
This combination could wreck two
leagues.
Both Baugh of the Redskins
and Luckman of the Bears are
heading for the sunset country
at the end of the road. They
have taken heavy punishment
for II or more years starting
with T. C. U. and Columbia. In
the way of exceptional skill and
indispensable competitive spir-
it, they have done more for pro
football than anyone I've ever
known.
Harry Gilmer, Bobby Layne and
Johnny Lujack have enormous shoes
to fill when Sam and Sid decide to
leave the field-which may be in
1919.
No. S. The greatest pass-receiver
-Hutson of Green Bay There have
been many good ones. But only one
Hutson.
1t might be noted in this connec-
ton, with pro football under dis
cussion, that the All-America con-
ference has turned in a good job in
ieveling the league by balancing
team strength.

1--WE Always Answer

We always answer when someone hollers Daddy"
It's sort of gotten to be habit in these 81 years
we've been playing Dad and Nom to every kid who
came along and needed home. Sometimes these
boys and girls didn't have any home or maybe
home wasn't what it should have been and some
one had to take over. Again. maybe it was a
twisted leg or arm that needed straightening and
there wasn't anyone but us to pay for the job and
see that it was done right If you'd like to have

Flying Lizards of Malay

The flying lizards of the Malay
an region have fold of skin along
the sides of the body which enables
them to make gliding flights from
tree to tree. These wings" are
often so gorgeously colored that
the animals in flight resemble gaily
colored butterflies, but the body is
usually of sober hue and when
the wings are folded, the change
is so abrupt that the animal itself
seems to disappear.

iiidily oSllu1tL, DULL
dog Turner and Mel Helm were all
great centers. Fudge Heffelfnger
was a great guard. But Cal Hub
bard was an entire line.
"Put old Cal out there to back
up your line," Bo McMillin used
to say, land he'll stop a whole
team. He is the most valuable
player l ever saw"
Cal is around feet S or 6 inches
tall. He weighed around 260 and
he was both fast and shifty. He
could kill off running game better
than anyone I ever saw. Cal was
like fast-moving mountain NOV
ing in on you, tackling at both ends
and the middle.
No. 2. The greatest all-around
back-Two men fit in this picture.
One is Jim Thorpe. The other is
Bronko Nagurski. Thorpe could rip
his way through line. He could
circle an end. He was good passer
and good pass-receiver. He was
a great defensive back when he
felt in the mood. And he was the
greatest all-around kicker of the lot
-punting, place kicking and drop
kicking.

The mammoth tree known as the
redwood (sequoia gigantea) is the
largest known plant. 1t towers to
a height of 400 feet, and some of
the larger specimens are 100 feet
in circumference. The redwood at
tains a great age, some being esti-
mated l,500 to 1000 years old.
Some of the California redwoods

Rid Building of Bats

If bats are nuisance about the
house or buildings, one means for
keeping them away is the use of
rather large amounts of naphatha-
lene flakes within the points of en-
try, then closing all openings. Bats
can enter holes of a size to admit
a mouse.

Indians Ate Acorns

Some of the American Indian
tribes considered acorns a staple
item in their diet. The acorns were
ground in mortar, soaked in wa
ter or put in baskets, set in run
ming water, or boiled in water for
two hours to remove the astringent
tannin. 1t is this tannin in the
acorns that makes them undesir-
able as cattle food. The kernels
were pounded and the resulting
flour was used like cornmeal. Hun
dreds of thousands of bushels of
acorns fal lfrom the acorn trees of
the country each season. Some are
eaten by squirrels and hogs, but
most of them go to waste.
