Young Player Corrects His Coach

“RAY ELIOT, Illinois university head football coach, was- the center of attraction during a pre-game informal” gathering of sports writers, radio men and athletic officials. , . . Though the pending Notre Dame game was foremost in his mind, he couldn’ t help recall

an incident that pushed his receding forehedd back just a bit farther,

“It happened late in the Pittsburgh game,” Eliot explained, “We won, 39 to 5, and were far ahead when I sent in an inexperienced

youngste:

“Suddenly it happened. Along came a deep punt, far into the

Moose Sherritt, rugged defenseman, was scheduled to rejoin the Onaps today and appear in the game tonight. He was rejected for service in the Canadian army for the third time after an examination in London, Ontario.

Hayes in Rematch With Colin Chaney

Indianapolis boxing fans will see a rematch between heavyweights at the Armory tomorrow night when Irish Mickey Hayes, Wisconsin's state heavyweight champion, invades the local area to tangle with Colion Chaney, young local 180+ pounder. Hayes, who tips the beam at 198 pounds, is one of these rugged belters who bores in swinging from the floor. “He packs his 195 pounds into a five-foot, eight-inch frame and Has plenty of steam in either glove, as the local belter discovered dure ing a recent eight-rounder again ‘the Beer City mauler at Milvaukio.

The third mistake was trying to run with it. The fourth mistake was making that daring catch. Those are just four mistakes. I could name a dozen more.’ : “But before I was able to continue” Eliot went on, “the boy interrupted with a chuckle: : “Yes, coach, you're right, but I guess the biggest mistake of all was sending me into the ball game.”

Our Answer was that “its the early worm that gets caught” but apparently both are wrong and the truth is that its the early wofmthat can't keep its mouth shut that gets snatch. The fact that worms talk also adds credence to the somewhat popular theory that a worm dipped in whisky makes better bait. The inebriated wofm in between audible snatches of his version of Sweet Adelaine probably wrigglés about challenging all passing fish to come out and fight, Then too it opens new vistas for reasons why the big one got away, The warm probably talks it over with the fish and convinces it that all is not a free meal that rests on the end of a bar , , . pardon, hook. And so altogether worms, one, two, three “ebeek.”

IN THE WHAT-MAKES-LIFE-INTERESTING - DEPARTMENT it just comes to our, attention that the Illinois Department of Agriculture has issued a bulletin announcing the discovery that worms talk. In all fairness we admit they didn't actually say they conversed about politics and such (probably. an indication that the worm is somewhat above average mentally) but that worms could and do make a faint noise somewhat along the lines of “eek” [or “eeecek.” In fact five worms ganging up for a mass sing can be heard by
