Howard was a recent visitor to the death aeene of Phar Lap, that great Australian thoroughbred, and states that foul play is suspected in the death of the Wonder Horse, but that so far nothing has been proven. McHenry High dropped their first flack meet of the season to Fox Lake EDtgh by about a foot and a half, as McCracken puts it. It was all evenup to the start of the relay and when the Peterson cousins jumped off to a good lead all looked well, but the last two men couldn't quite hold up the standard and Fox Lake nosed them out of the relay and the meet by just a lit- '"tfts over a foot. Tough! Ooaches McCracken and Willis of the local high school, with three po initial football players, attended the coaches' school at Northwestern University last Saturday and watched Pug Rentner and his boys go through their paces against the Freshmen. It was an invitational affair, the object of which was to discuss the new rule recently passed by the rules committee. And they even served free lunch at noon. TTHDEH HEW RULES Coach McCracken, Assistant-Coacli. Edmund Willis, Guy Duker, Ray Howard and George Kinsala attended the coachs' clinic and the conclusion of the spring , training schedule at Northwestern University, Evanston, Saturday. - •. They were included in the 362 football coaches from high schools and universities in ten states who watched the practice game between the White Jersey team and the Red Jersies in the afternoon and who saw and heard Coach A. A. Stagg of Chicago and Coach Dick Hanley of Northwestern in discussion of the new football rules during the forenoon. The new rules, adopted by the national governing body at its last meeting, are a reply to protest against excessive roughness which caused many injuries last fall. The illegal use of the hands by tfie defensive lineup and the regulations on the kiekoff, which are expected to prevent the flying wedge, were the principal points of discussion at the coaches' meetings. In the exhibition football game, from which tho public was barred, the punt kiekoff was used for the first time. Captain Pug Reutner was among the players who were watched with interest. As the hall was kicked against a stiff north wind the punts were not as effective as the former method of place kicking without a tee, which still remains as an alternative choice of the team putting the ball into play. Five players of the receiving team must be within 15 yards of the ball when it is kicked off, and apparently this restriction effectively broke • up the wedge of players which formerly had formed around the ball receiver. The "rabbit punch," the straight jab with the heel of the hand at the base of the head, which was barred in one of the recent regulations, was not used by any defensive player during the game. The defense was not penalized at any time for illegal use of the hands, although both elevens were called for holding on the offense, one of the more common rule violations. Another of the new rules, which provides that the ball carrier is down when other than his feet or hands touch the ground, was demonstrated on Saturday in the practice game. PILOTS OFFER TO ' FIGHT FOR CHINA and Canadian Seek Foreign Service. APlILil, 1*$2 BRUSHING UP ON TENNIS RULES i Hubert Schoewer is still with the ' White Sox, hook, line and sinker, the only difference being that this year he has lots of company. Nearly every big league fan in these parts is pullfor the Sox to keep uo the spienaM pace they have started off with, but way down in their hearts they know that the Sox are going just a bit over their natural stride, but . nevertheless we're all plugging for them. The McHenry Locals Journeyed to At>und Lake Sunday to open their season with a chilly 23-2 victory, but they managed to keep themselves warm by circling the bases almost ut will. Thurlwell handed the hurling for the Locals and his exhibition should forewarn the A's that they will have their hands full next Sunday in the exhibition tilt. The advantage of much practice is also on the side of lite youngsters. Seems pretty <farn good to Earl Dowell up and around again. Earl had quite a strenuous time of it during the past winter and took off a lot of weight from that lanky frame of his, but he's on the gain now and, !f the well wishes of his numerous freinds mean anything, will be back on the job at the Pistakee Golf club before many weeks have passed. Ear! ha? been the faithful semi-pro at the Pi stakes Golf course for the past four years 'and enioys his work as much as the customers enjoy him. Richmond visits McHenry this afternoon for a dual track meet, the date being advanced one evening to eliminate the conflict with the county swimming meet, which is scheduled for Fridav night. Richmond has lost Gardner, their track star of last year, bat has several fast men that will have to be contested with and who should cause plenty of trouble. However.

Duker, he's been practicing for two years. Following is a list of some of the disputed or misunderstood incidents that arise in tennis circles every-, where. Learn the game from the bottom up and enjoy it more thoroughly. A ball falling on a line is always considered as falling In the court bounded by that line. Ball striking person or wearing apparel or anything that he wears or carries, except his racket IN his hand or hands he shall be considered as having lost the point. Racket may not be thrown at ball. At the end of the first game, when playing doubles, the receiver shall become the server and the server the receiver. A server shall keep both feet further from the net than the base line until his service has been completed. He shall also maintain contact with the ground. A player shall be considered as having lost the point if he volley the ball and fail to make a good return, even when standing outside the court boundaries- (Let the backstops stop the bad ones.) Or if he or his racket, or anything which he wears or carries, touch the net, posts, cord, or cable, strap or band, or the ground within his opponent's court at any time while the ball is in |>lay, or if h® volley the ball before It has crossed the net. f (Ed. Note-*-Any other questions that may arise will be answered promptly through the sporting department of this paper.) Ottawa, Ont--American and Canadian air fighters, some of them with twenty and thirty machines to their credit in the great war, may soon be Booming through Asiatic skies helping the Chinese to throw back the Japanese forces. Since eighty experienced Royal Canadian air force pilots offered their services In a body through Chinese consul general for Canada, Tchuln Li, a number of American air pilots ha,ve expressed desires to Join them. One of the American even offers to pay his own way to China. Recently Mr. LI received from the Chinese Nationalist government at Nanking a cablegram indicating that there is a probability of their enlistment offers being accepted. The cablegram received by the Chinese consul general is in response to his cabled report of the enlistment offer of the experienced Canadian flyers. It says that the Chinese government's aviation department finds the proposal "interesting" and welcomes the idea of having experienced aviators from the Occident fight under 'the Chinese jNationallet flag. 7 It will be necessary, however, the cablegram states, for the Chinese avi- Ktlon department to give full consideration to the detailed report of the proposals, now in the mails on its way to CHina, before definite' answer can be given. According to the Canadian air force spokesman, who, because of Canadian government opposition to the move cannot reveal his Identity, the Canadian proposals should reach Nanking about the middle of March. "We are planning our organization," he said, "so that we can start immediately upon receipt of favorable definite reply from the Chines* government" The Canadians say they are prepared to equip and man two squadrons, one pursuit and one bombing, at a cost to the Chinese government for the first year of nine million dollars, including maintenance and salaries. Each succeeding year would cost but four millions. If necessary the airmen say they can equip two or more squadrons of eighteen machines each. There are about 400 pilots and mechanics affected by the Royal Canadian air force layoff! jPretty 5p«t«| Political Candidate--Yes, Tm going among the farmers today to a pumpkin show, or jackass show, or something of that sort.

Summing It Up Character is formed by the formation of habits, and babits are but the persistent repetition of certain acta Standard of Greatneu? A great leader seems to be one who takes the credit when things work <>Ut right--Pathfinder Magazine Walkington, Freshman at the high school, may develop into one of those all-around athletes that pop up every so often. The Ringwood youth plays a spectacular game of baseball, possessing a very strong arm, he is a fast starter in basketball where he is stationed at guard and now he comes out with the track squad „and steals the honors with the javelin, in which event McCracken looks for him to gather more than a few points this season. Of course, being a Freshman, he can't be expected to show the finesse that older boys would, but he has the stuff. More than that, he is determined to make the most of it. Shortage of Waterfowl Shown in U. S. Survey Washington.--A shortage of waterfowl is Indicated in reports to the United States biological survey. Flights and concentrations In various sections of this country were generally smaller last fall than in previous years, the survey reports. Shortages were especially severe among canvasbacks, redheads and lesser scaups, birds whose breeding ranges are largely in the northwest and in the prairie provinces of Canada, the areas most seriously affected by the long dry season. In a few regions unusually largo local concentrations have been observed, but these, the bureau explains, are a result of mild weather and of the great reduction in water and food areas that followed the dry season. By these Indications, the bureau adds, many have concluded that the number of waterfowl has Increased, whereas, except In limited regions, ducks were far less pelntiful than In other seasons. The bureau believes, hunters have generally observed the shortened 1981 hunting season, and that this factor, coupled with the mild weather the country has experienced, has effected a saving of dacks which will be able to return to their nesting grounds in the spring. Construction Bargains Seen in Lowered Costs Chicago. -- That construction bargains abound for people who will take advantage of them and build this year, is indicated by prices on contracts recently awarded. A good example Is the concrete wading pool for which a contract has just been let In Oak Park, Bl., at a cost of only f1,000. Two pools of similar design which' Oak Park built in 1920 cost the community $2,400 each. In 1931, the price had dropped to SI,450 each for two more wading pools inst&led. But the 1932 low bid was more than 30 per cent under the successful bid In 1931. The startling part of this big league baseball season, now over a week old, is not the small crowds--they were expected during these hard times and cold weather--but the well pitchp ed battles between teams that formerly were noted for their slugging qualities. Shutouts have become common and have ceased to be> the disgrace they formerly were considered, with two and three hit games popping up frequently. The new and less-lively ball may have more than a little td do with the situation and if so the instigators of its use should be given a pat on the back as they have brought speed back into the game after a too prolonged absence. j 1 1111 1111 11 I I I 111 11 11 H 1 M ;; Whale Tows Smack, Tears Off*Anchor ;; Cape May, N.

The big sea mammal dragged his smack back and forth, Captain Boies declares, until he was almost ready to cut the anchor cable. Then the whale jerked the anchor loose and spared him the trouble.
