Oct. 19—'U.R>— Rack in 1926 a drawling little southerner who called himself 80, but who had to answer to the name of Alvin Nugent McMillin, went to Manhattan, Kan., to take the football coaching job at Kansas State College. McMidin had played his college football with one of the smallest school in the nation -Centre College in Danville. Ky. They had to resort to gridiron trickery in order ' to hold their own against some of the big time schools they J played. The seven years that McMillin , spent at Kansas State belonged, in the golden era of football when : rugged teams that won their

ARMSTRONG TO | BATTLE GARCIA Henry Armstrong To Defend Welterweight Championship New York. Oct. 19.—(U.R>--Henry Armstrong who outgrew the world's , featherweight championship and ; ing today for “the toughest fight" discarded it. began serious trainof his career —a 15-round defefise of his welter title against Ceferino Garcia two weeks from tonight. “This will be the toughest fight Henry ever had.” his manager. Eddie Mead, said. "Garcia was big enough and strong enough to give middleweight Glenn Lee the worst beating he ever had, and Henry will be spotting him about i 10 pounds.” Armstrong, the only man who ever held three world titles simultaneously. began his training at Hot Springs, Ark., two weeks ago, and resumed it with a light workout in a Harlem gymnasium after arriving her e yesterday. He weighed 141 pounds and expects to reduce to 134 by fight night. Henry's battle tactics will be a continuous dose-quarter attack which he hopes will prevent the Philippine Islander from getting set to throw the deadly right he calls a “bolo punch." “I figure Garcia is the hardest hitter I've had to face yet." Armstrong said, “and by crowding him all the time 1 hope 1 won't give that right hand much traveling space." "Hurricane .Hennery" who electrified the fistic world by winning the feather, light and welter weight titles over a v "iod of 10 months, presided at thi stage-prop "coronation" of Joey Archibald yesterday. Archibald outpointed Mike Belloise Monday night in a Taround battle recognized by the New York athletic commission as for feather title abandoned by Armstrong. Mead, apparently more uneasy about the coming battle than any ; of the past, said he feared Garpia more than Lou Ambers. »he Herkimer. N. Y„ boy who had Armstrong groggy before relinquishing his lightweight crown in 15 rounds last summer. “This Garcia can knock you dead with one punch while Ambers is a cream puff puncher." he said. “All Ambers does is cut a man up. It took 10 stitches to close Henry's lower lip after that fight, but it has healeit completely now. His lower teeth have been fixed, and he will be wearing a new mouthpiece to prevent anything like that happening again." Armstrong is not expected to risk either his welter or light weight titles again before late late February or March. He plans to engage in non-title bouts at Cleveland Dec. 6 and in Los Angeles early in January. Promoter Mike Jacobs hopes to stage a return Armstroiig-Ambers fight for the lightweight title before the indoor season closes here. o ♦— ♦ I Today’s Sport Parade By Henry McLemore New York. Oct. 19—<U.R)—The last time Seabiscuit was asked to run a mile and three-sixteenths at Pimlico he picked up 130 pounds as though they were 130 feathers and streaked the distance in 1:57 2-5 for a track record. War Admiral has made two starts over the historic old Pimlico track and each was at a mile and three sixteenths. In the 1937 Preakness, with Pompoon breathing down his neck, he was whipped home winner in 1:58 2-5. In the Pimlico special handicap he made the journey in 1:58 4-5. In the Preakness the chunky little son of Man O' War carried 126 pounds, and in the special he had 128 aboard. These are pertinent figures, because 13 days from today, a week from next Tuesday, those two horses —the Biscuit and the Admiral—will meet at old Pimlico and match heart Tor heart, speed for speed in a match race. The distance will be one mile and three-sixteenths. The weights are to be even-

stephen—l2o pounds each. Seabiscuit likes the Pimlico track. War Admiral doesn't. I am not trying to sell you Seabiscuit. to persuade you into betting on him when he goes out alone against the Admiral. But I am trying to show you that those critics who wrote him out of the race when he was beaten by Jacola in the Laurel stakes last Saturday were mistaken. That race was for but a mile, and it is after the mile has been passed that the Biscuit, a whale of a finisher, really starts to roll. Furthermore, the son of Hard Tack packed 126 pounds to 102 for Jacola, and 24 pounds is 24 pounds to man or beast. With all this advantage Jacola didn't walk in—she turned the fastest mile ever run over the Laurel track. No sir, don't count Seabiscuit out of any race. He is as tough a piece of horseflesh as the American track has ever seen. And if you don't think he can leg it. please remember that in the past two seasons he has broken seven track records from coast to coast. And in those races he was the top-

weight horse. He races summer and winter, , spring and autumn; here, there, and everywhere. There is scarce- : ly a track in the United States. Mexico or Canada that hasn’t felt his flying feet. Old “perpetual motion,’’ that’s Seabiscuit. If he isn’t running, he is in a box car roiling toward some race. He takes ’em all on, i anywhere, anytime. He isn’t fussy about weights. In at least two of his 16 winning starts since the first of last year be was loaded with the staggering impost of 133 pounds. Yet he picked up this burden and smashed track rec-1 ords. He has been beaten a lot, especially as a two and three-year-old, out he was no great shakes then. It wasn’t until he was a four-year-old that he came around for Colonel Maxwell How’ard, the man who bought him for SB,OOO when he was crippled and ailing. War Admiral may lick him in their duel on the hilltop, but he’ll know’ he has been to the races. If he could speak, and knew his Shakespeare. I’m pretty sure that Seabiscuit, when he eyed the Admiral in the starting gate, would say: "Lay on, Macduff, “And cursed be him who first cries enough.” (Copyright 1938 by UP.)

SAFETY MEET CLOSESTODAY

Three-Day Indiana Safety Seminar To Close Today Indianapolis, Oct. 19 — (U.R) — The C. I. T. Indiana safety seminar, sponsored to educate the public in new methods of traffic safety through the newspapers, was to close today after three days of vigorous planning to make Indiana a “national experiment” in traffic safety in 1939 Several more nationally known safety experts were to speak before the newspapermen, gathered here to acquaint themselves with the technique of the new. advanced safety program. Lew’ Wallace, commissioner of the lowa motor vehicle department; Frank Finney. Indiana commissioner of motor vehicles; Lieut. Franklin M. Kreml. director of Northwestern University's traffic safety institute; and Don Stiver, superintendent of Indiana state police, were to address the morning session. Education of individual motorists was stressed in the seminar yesterday. Burton W Marsh, director of safety and traffic engineering of the American Automobile association. presented the pedestrian problem. He said the greatest cause of pedestrian fatalities is ignorance on the part of the pedestrian, who does not know he is nearly invisible to motorists and that it is much more difficult to control an automobile than his own actions. "Probably the second greatest cause is failure on the part of the average motorist to realize that so many pedestrians have practically no understanding of the driver's difficulties,” Marsh said. Pedestrians must realize that in heavy, fast traffic, they should

VAN WERT MAN TALKS TO CIO! Don Smith Speaks To Decatur Lions Club Tuesday "Pecularitles of the President"! was the topic of an Interesting ad-| dress given to the Decatur Lions club at the weekly meeting of the! organization in the Rice hotel last' night. Don Smith, of Van Wert, Ohio ’ author of a book by the same title, was the speaker. E. V. McCann, of the Central Soya company, was in charge of the program. The writer spent nine years in assembling the material and writing the book. He traveled thousands of miles In visiting the homes of the various presidents and in interviewing relatives and authorities oni the subject. He spoke regarding the finances,! oddities, education, activities, retirement. inaugurals, marriages of the presidents and their oddities and hobbies. ’Die address was acclaimed one' of the most unusual and In'cresting ever presented to the clt»b. have skilled judgment and knowledge If they are to negotiate streets safely, Marsh asserted. Floyd I. McMurray, state superintendent of public instruction, said Indiana had completed three years without a school bus fatality. A daily load of 207,817 pupils in 7,000 school busses are transported over an average of 150,000 miles, yearly journey of more than 24.000.000 miles, McMurray proudly declared. The necessity of making com plete reports of accidents so that a study can be made to reduce them was pointed out by Kirk Keegan, statistician of the national safety council. “The mere collection of analyses of accident records will not reduce accidents." Keegan said. "But it will permit an intelligent approach to this problem and permit application of the known and proven techniques that bring about a reduction in accidents.”
