Usually there isn't much .argument from the winning side, but Coach Larry Dale had the Mc- Hertry crowd plenty stirred up. ; . Larry and the referee, it seems, «?' old time sparring partigsrs so what appeared a bit serious to the crowd turned into somewhat of a sham battle. • The ref got "het up" enough to offer a ten buck bet on a "question of rules and Larry was smart enough to side-step that one for discussion on another point that rested"*'merely with the referee's judgement. The game had its rough moments to make it more typical of days gone by than any battles between the two schools in recent years. Chief Cairns drops a note from Hines Hospital, where he recently underwent an operation, to thank all the boys whlo sent him that big card with so many signatures.

Keeping in Condition This isn't , any sermon or lecture on the matter of keeping in shane, or the value of hard training. But there is a general writing and talking tendency to overplay some of the playboys who traveled, a long way up in spite of their odd ways of training. 'Harry Greb was one. So was Mickey Walker. Walter Hajen was another, later on in his career. And there was Rube Waddell, Bugs Raymond, Shufflin' Phil Douglas--great pitchers. Even the overpowering Babe Ruth had his laps^slwSo did Jim Thorpe. So' did Grover Cleveland Alexander. But what about the great majority of stars whp made a point of being in shape--who trained for the job?
