The Little Dog Who
Laughed

COCO WAS THE LITTLE dogs
name. To look at him, no one
would think that there was anything
unusual about him. He was ter
tier type dog, with sharp little ears,
and sparkly, shoe-button eyes. Once
he had belonged to a famous kennel,
but one night the kennel caught
fire from a cigarette which care
taker had dropped carelessly, and

like magic the way you always
knew when a boy and dog should
belong to each other.
''You want that dog, SOM" asked
Cappy.
ooh, yes, sir" cried the boy. Il
got ten dollars for my birthday, and
Nom said could buy dog. He-he
isn't more than ten dollars, is he,
Mister?"
Cappy scratched his head. ''That's
a pretty special dog, son. He can
laugh. I planned to ask quite a
little for him" he paused as the
boys face fell. Trouble is, he won't
laugh except when he wants too"
Coco chuckled then, and both
Cappy and the boy looked very
surprised.
ct guess that proves he's your
dog" said Cappy. First time he
ever laughed for anyone
So the boy took Coco home, and
all the mention Coco's laughing ever
got was in a nursery rhyme. But
Coco didn't want to be famous. He
was perfectly happy just being with
his master.

have been vastly different. Mr..
Nelson, who owned the dogs, had
no idea that Coco was different,
and so when his kennels burned, he
placed Coco in a pet shop to be sold,
for he didn't have room to take care
of him.
At first, the pet shop owner whose
name was Cappy was not aware
that Coco was different either. But
one morning as he came into the
shop, he heard someone laughing
at a story that one of his parrots
was telling. Cappy thought that
someone had gotten into the pet
shop during the night, so quietly
he went down the aisles between
the cages of animals, until he came
to the last one where Coco had
been placed. Imagine his surprise
when he saw that it was Coco who
was laughing.
''Well, doesn't that beat all?" said
Cappy as he scratched his head in
a puzzled way. Il wouldn't have
believed it if hadn't heard it with
my own ears!" he exclaimed. Some
circus will want you, young fellow"
he added as he gave Coco friendly
pat.
So Cappy put advertisements in
the papers, and placed big sign
over Coco's pen which said this
DOG CAN LAUGH" Soon the pet
shop was full of people coming to
see the famous dog, but all of them
went away disappointed, for Coco
just wouldn't laugh when anyone
was around. Most of them thought
it was some kind of publicity stunt
Cappy was trying to pull to bring
in more business. And Cappy didn't
blame them, for if he hadn't heard
Coco laughing nearly every morn
ing when he entered the shop, he
wouldn't have believed it either.
After a while, things settled bacl
to normal. Cappy took down the
sign and took the advertisement on
of the paper. Coco laughed more
often when no one was around, anC
he was such happy little fellow

Chinook Winds

BEFORE COMING to Montana
to live had read about the Chinook
winds but had no idea they could
melt snow as fast as they do.
One day I volunteered to drive
my neighbor and her children home
in sled drawn by our old team
of horses. I must say had lot
of nerve, as I had only driven a
team a couple of times and knew
very little about it. But felt safe
with old Pete and Pan, as they were
very gentle and probably knew the
trail better than I.
I had been here in Montana a
very short time. Our neighbor lived
five miles north of our ranch and
had been visiting her folks in town
and on returning could go no farther
with car as the snow drifts blocked
the trail. The Chinook winds started
blowing and piling snow in large
drifts, but we felt we could make
the trip with the team, so off we
went in the one-seated sled with
my neighbor, her two children,
travelling bags and 100-pound sack
of wheat all piled in the little space.
The winds were balny and it was
rather nice trip until the front
end of the sled broke out and the
sack of wheat landed up on the
tongue of the sled It rode there
until we made it to the ranch. Be-
fore starting back my neighbor
wired the sled together. didn't stay
long, as the water was running
everywhere and I knew the way
the winds were melting the snow
there wouldn't be any left in short
time.
So back the team and I started
for home. We had to skirt the hills
to have some snow to drive in
About two miles from home we had
to cross creek that is usually small
but by the time we reached it il
looked like good sized river with
all the melted snow coming dowr
from the hills. Old Pete and Par
hesitated for moment before cross
ing, but I slapped the lines across
their backs and away they went il
leaps and bounds across the stream
Miraculously, the old sled held to
gether. On arrival at the rancl
there was very little snow left ant

plant.
He wore q cutaway coat.
striped gray trousers, spats. pat
ent-leather shoes and derby, and
carried a cane.
In cultured manner, with a
slight accent, he announced:
Gentlemen, I'd ike to bowl
any man in the house for any
stake he may name"
This was quite a statement,
Among those present were some
of the foremost duckpin bowlers
in the country. One in particular
was noted for cashing in on his
skill. a southpaw named Buck
Harley. Another was Harry F..
Krauss, a national star In duck
pins and tenpins, who managed
the Palace.
A match was set up between
the stranger and Harley. the
warm-up boxes Of which pro-
duced another surprise-the vis-
itor's delivery. Instead of the
conventional steps and slide, he
took one step, and delivered the
ball as If from a slingshot. The
ball sped and spun.
Harley was on his game, but
no matter how well he bcwled.
the stranger boWled a little
better, just enough to win.
At a time when 108 was a-big
duckpin average, Krauss aver
aged l19 for three games against
the stranger, but won only one.
With the issue at stake in the
last several boxes of the third
game, the visitor, with consum-
mate GOODNESS. iced the victory.

story was the same, IL not more
bizarre. In one instance q bowler
shot a game of i41. quite a sen-
sation in those days. The
stranger collected with l42.
Although he visited other
plants here, ! never caught up
with him. Neither did DR.. Clyde
Shade, with $1,000 he hungered
TO wager on Harry Krauss, his
bowling idol.
Two days later came a story
from Baltimore. It was q familiar
story. but with q new twist. The
stranger. finding it difilcult e,
obtain matches. was betting he
could knock down seven or more
pins with one ball, using his
cane as q cue.
Thus, we came to know about
John Gengler, "the Count Of
Luxembourg" q German who
came to this country from Paris
as q young man to seek q for.
tune with his bowling skill. He
cleaned up. He's now rs and
owns and trains q string of race
horses.
Gengler was fabulous in the
bowling world. In the introduce
ton of an article some months
ago In the National Bowlers
Journal and Billiard Revue, the
writer asked:
Is it true that he bowled a 800
game (tenpins) In the dark?
Did he actually average 249 In
a match with Frank Caruans Of
Buffalo?
What was the reason for his
peculiar one-step delivery?
How did he happen to come
to the United States?
Was he actually a count?
The article gave the answers.
He was not count. but acquired
the appelation from his apparel
and manners. In the last 10
game block of a 60-game series
with Caruana he averaged 249,
and 224 for the entire match.
He developed the one-step de-
livery because in Germany the
alleys were crude and the run
ways did not lend themselves to
sliding. He came to the United
States at the suggestion of an
American who saw him win a
sensational bowling victory In
Paris.
He rolled the perfect game In
the dark on an alley in Chicago
with which he was thoroughly
familiar. It was made possible
by the one-step delivery. Hav-
ing gotten the range. Gengler
ordered the lights turned out.
Then the thing became me-
chemical. After each shot. the
lights were restored. but he
bowled entirely in the dark.

Clemson, through a strong
plea by Coach Frank Howard,

obviously because Clemson has

The motion would have bound

NCAA Split Possible
After Big Ten Blast
All Controlled "

NEW YORK, Dec. 1l.-Possi-
bility Of a Big Ten secession that
could tear the NCAA wide apart
loomed today over the explosive
football television issue.
The showdown will come at
the groups annual convention
in New York. January ST. when
the colleges vote on what kind
of a Tv program they want for
1855 another Nationally con-
trolled program or q regional
schedule.
The hint of secession was
raised by the powerful but out
numbered Big Ten which Inn
piled it may take independent
action" II it's regional program
is turned down.
Aligned with the Big Ten in
favor Of regional Tv is the Pa
cific Coast Conference, which
has a Rose Bowl contract with
the rebel MidwesternerS.
Eastern Group Opposed.
But opposed to these two con-
ferences with a total of 19 men,
bers, is the sprawling. influential
10 l. member Eastern College
Athletic Conference. Most of the
ECAC schools are members of
the NCAA.
The ECAC closed its conven-
tion Friday by solidly indorsing
| National controls again with
some changes.
While most of the other ma
jor conferences haven't made
their current attitude known. the
dominating votes of the ECAC
appear to be enough to carry its
program through.
Last year In Cincinnati. the
NCAA voted 172-9 in favor Of
National controls and last
spring. in the mail referendum,
the members approved the de-
cision by another overwhelming
margin. 1926.
The voting In the NCAA is by
colleges and not by conferences.
Thus the cards seemed heavily
stacked against the Big Ten and
the Pee.
II the Big Ten pulls out Of
the NCAA, here is what could
happen to the conference:
Its members would not be per-
mitted to compete against NCAA
schools in good standing and It's
athletes would not be allowed to
participate in NCAA champion
ships.
Reed Amplifies Stand.
Thus the Big Ten schools
would have to play among them
selves or with non-NCAA men,
bers.
The official statement Of Big
Ten athletic directors and fac
ulty representatives said:
1.-THE Joint group declares that
an NCAA television program of
the character in operation this
season is entirely unacceptable
to the Big Ten"
Bill Reed. assistant commits
sioner of the Big Ten, added:
"We are facing up to the pos
sible necessity Of taking inde-
pendent action. But we can't
say at this time we will 60 inde-
pendent If the regional program
Is turned down."
The Big Ten favOrs a regional
program controlled on a ma
tional level which will permit
teams within a region to appear
twice on TV.
