Athlete in Critical Condition; Police Seek 3d Corner In Colorado Triangle.

PT. COLLINS, Colo, Nov. 30.— Police sought the third corner of a campus ifiangie today as Walter (Bud) Lyons, 20, star fullback of the Colorado State College lay critically injured—of bullets wounds inflicted by a coed. - Lyons, conscious at City Hospital, said he had asked 19-year-old Lois Jeanne Anne Vannorsdel for his

class ring back. He had given it to’

her when their love affair began eight months ago.

Shot Twice

She got a small pistol and shot|

him twice, ne said. The bullets lodged just above the heart. When he reached the hospital he had lost s0 much blood surgeons feared to operate and transfusions were to be given today. Miss ay aorsdel, who called him to her home shortly before he was to have departed with his team yesterday for a game with the University of Mexico at Albuquerque, was hysterical, Police Chief Orville Kelly said. “She is so upset we have not yet determined what caused the break between them,” he said. .Both her eyes had been blackened, police said, by Lyon’s fists as he struggled with her for the gun after he was shot. Her frock was covered with his blood when police arrived. Police, summoned by an occupant of an apartment adjoining that of Miss Vannorsdel and her mother, found Lyons on the floor. His class ring lay nearby. Miss Vannorsdel was walking through the apartment wringing her hands and crying.

No Formal Charges Yet

“The girl said she loaded the gun in the bathroom and shot Lyons as he was. sitting on a divan in the living room,” Chief Kelly said. Deputy District Attorney Winton Ault said there would be no formal charges filed against Miss Vannorsdel pending developments in Lyons’ condition. Miss Vannorsdel has lived here all her life. Her father died years ago ahd her mother has taught school ce.

2 Railroadmen, old Puls Retire After 44 Years

Lee Harvey, engineer, and M. W. Haymaker, conductor, plotted to fool their relatives and friends when they brought No. 14 in from Peoria, Ill, yesterday. After 44 years as railroadmen, they were both retiring,- and they wanted no fuss about ‘it.

They have been on runs together at various times for the last 29 years. For the last five years they have been on the same train every day. Mr. Haymaker succeeded in keeping his retirement secret. He didn’t tell a soul except Peoria & Eastern Railroad officials that when No. 14 pulled into Union Station at 1:35 p. m—on the dot—that it was his last run. But Mr. Harvey's friends and relatives heard about his retiring. Some of them, including Mrs. Harvey, boarded his train at Crawfordsville to have the honor of riding with him on his last run. Another group met the train at the Union Station.

Neither of the retiring railroadmen, however, seemed particularly disappointed that their plans had not enijrely succeeded. After a hearty handshake around, they posed for Mr. Harvey’s nephew, Ed McCreedy, who is a camera fan. They both said it was a grand feeling to be retiring, but that they'd both probably miss the old job in a couple weeks. Mr. Haymaker, who lives at 1915 Central Ave., and who will be 70 next Wednesday, said he plans to take a trip to New Orleans with his wife to spend the winter. Mrs. Haymaker is in poor health and needs a change of climate, he said. After that, he has no definite plans. “Probably hunt and Ash a little,” he said. Mr. Harvey, who is 66 and who lives at 24 Neal Ave. said he had no specific plans for the future. “I'm going to take it easy for a while,” he said. “I'll probably do a little hunting and fishing too. I haven’t got anything definite in mind.” Mr, Harvey went to work for the P. & E. July 23, 1895 as a firethan and -becamie an engineer Aug. 19, 1899. Mr. Haymaker became a brakeman for the P, & E, Aug. 12, 1895 and a conductor July 18, 1898. They were on passenger service together in 1900 on the Indianap-olis-Springfield run. Ten years later, in 1910, they took over their present Peoria-Indianapolis run. They:

THANKSGIVING

This Is Second. Time fof, Five of Them; Formal ‘Celebrations Few.

By UNITED PRESS ! The traditional last Thursday of November brought Thanksgiving to 25 states today. For five of” them it was the second Thanksgiving this

Those five—Nebraska, Colorado, Idaho, Texas and New .Mexico— with 23 others, observed the autumnal feast of the harvest a week ago. The 20 states which rejected President Roosevelt's proclamation to advance the observance one week as an incentive to earlier Christmas shopping and delayed their formal celebrations until today were:

Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Flor-|' .|ida, Kansas, Kentucky, Iowa, Min-

At Plymouth, Mass., where a small band of pilgrims invited their friendly Indian neighbors .to join them in giving thanks for the first harvest of their new homeland, the scene was duplicated with ° a “national” Thanksgiving dinner, : Few other formal observances were scheduled except the annual “Turkey Day” games of traditional football rivals. They. were headlined by the unbeaten Texas Aggies against Texas U., at College Station and unbeaten Tennessee against Kentucky at Lexington, Ky. Rail, ‘air and bus transportation companies reported that the double holiday possibly had reduced their total holiday travel. Advance reseryations in states observing the 30th fell far short of the business done in states which Observed Nov. 23. Governor Reverses Self One Governor, R. L. Cochran of Nebraska, did not follow his own proclamation. He had proclaimed Nov. 30 as Thanksgiving. Then Attorney General Walter R. Johnson ruled that the President’s selection of Nov. 23 also was official. Governor Cochran observed the 23d by having turkey dinner with his son at Culver Military Academy in Indiana. - Today, on the date he chose, he worked at his desk because, he said, “I don’t think any public official should have two Thanksgiving days.” Governor Henry Horner of Illinois; who observed the 23d, celebrated again today—this time with 12 turkey dinner guests in the mansion for his birthday. Norman Dolinsky, 6, St. Cloud, Minn., ate his turkey dinner on “borrowed time.” He is suffering from lymphatic leukemia and doc=
