Tomorrow Is Derby Dav l At Historic Epsom Downs | London. June I—(United Press)— The annual trek for the running of * th. historic derby at Epsom Downs has begun. From this morning until ithe horses go to the post tomorrow, every highway will be packed For some of the derby fans the ' classic will mean a 20 or 30 mile walk,. But that is no hardship. A British subject must see the derby at all costs. ■ To avoid the traditional enuh which annually jams the roads from London and other cities to Epsom Downs, more automobiles than usual were driven to the race course today. The railways’were doing their best to care for the multitude of derby enthusiasts but as a result of the meager coal supply they were unable to run enough trains to fill the demand. An American department store here plans to use old-fashioned stage coac hes to transport some of its employes to the race. Seldom has a derby entrant become such a favorite before the race as has Lord Derby’s Colorado, which will be riden by T. Weston. The odds on the 3-year-old son of Phalaris Canyon are qqoted at 3 to 2 against. I o Farther Indicted For Murder Os His Son Petersburg. Ind..

RED” GRANGE TELLS HOW TO BECOME i AN ATHLETE; DESCRIBES OWN LIFE

In the following article, which in a copy of the address given by him ( over (he radio last winter, Harold I "Red" Grange, famous football player , at the University of Illinois, gives hia recipe for becoming an athlete. The ‘| address Is us follows: ' "Hello, Folks! ’ "They tell me that lam playing to ' a larger audience tills evening than ever before in my lite- perhaps two 1 or three or four million people. Well, 1 it seems like a pretty big honor. And 1 it ceitalnly is n big responsibility. 1 "The reason that lam here In front of a microphone. Is (hat the Near 1 East Relief asked me to do this, as a part of their program for the oh1 servance of Golden Rule Sabbnth. ‘ They told me that it would be u real ' help to their cause, and I am strong for doing anything that I can t.i help them. "My expeiience with life has been ‘ mostly tied up with basketbail an I football, amt that, I suppose, is what you want me to talk about tonight. 1 "There is only one way I know to 1 become an athlete. Get lots of sleep 1 and live a normal, regular, healthy 1 life. Keep away from the bright lights and eat plain food. Don't eat too much meat. Any vegetable is good. Spinach and potatoes are excellent. Chew the food well. Don't smoke. Don’t drink liquor. Don't be a loafer on the street. Think, dream and believe that you will come to the top. and you'll get there. Track work is the best way to build up endurance, but hard work of any kind —such as 'carrying ice on an ice w’agon, is first-class training. "Football is like life. One fellow carries the ball and gets most of the I credit. Yet ten men have helped him to push through, and without them he would not have gained an

The boy -who likes football but doesn’t I like school Is just as wrong as the boy ’ ( wh simile.i all the time and refuses • to play the games. "it may surprise some of you to know (bat one of the har.leiit things | i I had to learn in football was to quit /sneaking. When I first became a , pupil of Bob Zllppke, the greatest football coach that ever lived. 1 used I to gel the ball ami run half heartedly with it until an easy opening showed Itself. Zuppke made me quit sneak- • ing, ami -snap into the game fulli speed ahead. "Several things have helped me in football. 1 have never smoked in my life. My father always saw to it that I kept good hours until 1 got my , growth. After once starting athletics during boyhood days. I never stopped training. My food was always of the plain healthful sort, ami I always worked hard in the summer. The idea of being an ice-man was my own. 1 started in on the ice-wagon daring high school days. My father had expected, when I suggested I would like to work for the summer, that 1 meant caddying at the golf links, or something like that. When 1 said I was thinking of taking a job as an ice man he was surprised. ‘You can’t stand that hard work.' he said, remarking that he considered it the hardest work there was. 1 replied by asking him if it would be all right if'l could get the job. He said, ’Sure,' and 1 applied for a job on one of Mr. Thompson's wagons. Mr. Thompson looked me over and smiled. 'You see that 125-pound cake of ice’.’’ he asked me. ’lf you can shoulder -that,- the job is yours, anti • I’ll bet you a dollar in addition.’ | "■Well, I won the job and the dol-
