' " Next Sunday at the high school the men have scheduled a rather interesting team composed of the five Strain Brothers from Harvard. These lads have made basketball history for that school for the past decade and have now. organized a team of their own. Long noted for their speed and elusiveness, their coming should mean that there'll be a lot of footwork in store for McHenry's own speedsters, which does not include Dowell, who just waits for 'em and then does his stuff at guard.

There will surely be plenty of speed oh the team,* but McHenry isn't lacking in this respect so it should be a real battle. Harvard will have to step some to match the sharpshooting ability of McHenry.

Of the nine men rolling, A1 Barbian being AWOL, six of them were over 200, and this in a league that isn't supposed to be too hot. Two of the others had better than 190 and the other bowler had 172. Not bad, not bad! But even in this big game it was those Bickler twins, Page and Weber, whose work rtood out the most vividly, despite the fact that Captain Ed finished with games of 226 and 228 to total 631 and tie the count.

UTAH TOWN RECALLS PONY EXPRESS DAYS us Link ia Early East- West Mail Route Washington,--"Ibapah, sun-blistered town in Utah's Deep Creek valjey, recently turned back the paSes of 70 years' history and dedicated a shaft marking tlie location of the Pony ex- :prcs station which was the forerunner of the to\£n. The village, home of 213 residents, lies* at.the edge of a desert, about five miles east of the Utah-Nevacla boundary. „ • j "This 'station' was one*of the 190 es^ ! tablished between St Joseph. Mo., and San Francisco, Calif., in an effort to cut in half the time neeessary*"to communieattt between the east and \vest coasts of the United States," says the Xationiil (geographic society. "It was in this region thrit Indians, by frequent^ attacks, nearly caused the, abandonment of the Pony express within two months after it was established^; UJ; Inaugurated in 1860. Hy 1800 ihe outside edges of the continent had been colonized and white men's activities penetrated inland from the east as fur as the Missouri river. But !>etween 'Saint Jo' and San Fran, cisco lay a forbidding 1,996-mile expabse^- Indian Infested plains of Kan sas and Nebraska, mountains of Colorado and Wyoniing, and deserts of Utah and Nevada. At that time, men generally linked the two jagged edges of the nation by a circuitous 28-day route--sailing from New York to Panama, traveling by mule train across the isthmus, then taking ship to San Francisco. "But the nation was growing. Men in the west sought closer contact with those lb the east So was born the Pony express to brave the wilds of the direct route, St Joseph to San Francisco "On April 3, I860, all was ready for a shmrttaneous start from the two ends of the line. From the east into St. Joseph pulled a railway train bearing special mail bags from New York. A waiting rider transferred them to his saddle and sped away to the west For ten days and nights thereafter, horses' hoofs pounded constantly over the trail --ndw quietly in soft sands, now clat terlng across stony mountain passes, now echoing through deep canyons-- until the mail arrived in San Francisco. It was done in a little over ten days. The next trip took two weeks, but; later several trips were made In nine days. "That same April 3, mail from San Francisco started eastward, going to Sacramento by boat. There a daring rider tightened his saddle girths, strapped on the pouches, and was off. He covered the first 20 miles in 59 "minutes, traveled 55 miles farther and relayed the bags to a waiting rider. The second rode past the summit of the Sierra Nevadas, where the next man took up the ride. The first three men covered a total distance of 18T> miles, part of which was through 30 feet of snow; they did It In 15 hours and 20 minutes! From there Ave others followed one another, galloping through. Ruby valley, Deep Creek valley, Rush -valley, and Camp Floyd to Salt Lake. City. Eastward from the Mormon settlement the mall was hurried to Saint Joseph, where the town went wild with excitement over the successful undertaking. "Incredible as it may seem, the quickest time ever made by the Pony express was In winter weather. The document transmitted was President Lincoln's inaugural message of March 4. 1861. It was borne over 2,000 miles in seven days and 17 hours, said to be the fastest long distance horseback rid lag ever done. Fiv* Dollars Par Latter. "To maintain the speed of nearly 250 miles a day, there could be no excess weight carried. Preference was given to riders light as Jockeys whose endurance and bravery were unquestioned. Thefr pouches were small, a bundle containing hundreds of communications often being no larger than an ordinary writing pad. Each letter was written on the thinnest tissue pnper-snd for Its transportation across the continent, five dollars was paid In advance. The large newspa )>er8 of the country furnished much of the business. "A rider's safety rested largely with his wits. To keep«down weight, he car ried generally only a" revolver and :i k nlfe. He frequently relied on hi - fleet-footed pony to outdistance his pur users. Usually this could be done, unless, as happened sometimes. l»oth rider and horse were pressed into double duty when the rider of the nextrafaje^cli had been killed or injured."
