AT STOCK EXHIBIT
COLLEGE STATION. Texas Nov.
25. A. and M. college of Texas will
be prominently represented at the
Internationa! Exposition and Llve-
atock show which will open in Chi-
cago on December 1. A team of six
animal husbandry seniors coached by
Professor V. I. Stangel animal hus-
bandry department is en route there
to participate in the students' li e-
atock judging contest held annually
iu connection with the show and a
combined exhibit of Texas agricul-
tural products and the educational fa-
cilities offered at A. and M. is being
.taken there by George A. Long di-
rector of exhibits.
The livestock judging team leaves
itbe State for the Northern contest
-handicapped badly in that it has not
had the advantage of practice with
many of the ideal types which they
i will judge in Chicago and which are
familiar to Northern and Kastem
; teams from previous practice with
. animuls furnished by their States for
work at their institutions and from
added experience gained at uiitioual
shows.
; The Texas team expects to over-
: .come this disadvantage to a great cx-
tent however by intensive practice
: at various stops which will be made
I for that purpose en route to Chicago.
That it has a fair chance to place
- above its opponents is shown by the
3 fact that it is one of the two teams
previously having wou the interna-
tional trophy twice which entitles the
" triumphant team in this contest to
Z permanent possession of the trophy
i The contesting team for that honor is
t Purdue.
The team from A. and M. this year
is composed of J. V. Drisdale of Juno
C. K. Hudson of Pine llluff Aik.;

See where Jock Hutcheaon in an
article in the American Golfer argues
against strivin' fer too much distance.
Jock gives out a bunch of good point-
ers that outta show some of us dubbs
that distance makes the course grow
longer instead of makin' it short.
Far instance say Jock what does
It get a guy to whack a ball all hi
might whea he slices -or hook '
gets Into such trouble he ha to take
a couple of short (hot to get any-
where near the green.
An' that same argument is proven
every day in the week. For Instance
onct the Dubb was playin' with Ewing
Lancaster. The Dubb happened to be
hit tin' them that day. As long a he
jes' ordinarily bit 'em he kept the old
ball straight When he began to
stretch out He got a terrible Mice.

Now why I It that whea a guy
know this know that he' genaa
mess up a shot when be take too
much twlng that he doe It enyway.
Betch anything la the world that I
the reason why we're Jes' dubb In-
stead of good player.
Take Carlton an' Rotan fer in-
stance d'ja ever see 'em strainin' all
their muscles when they hit a ball.
Not on your tintype. Instead they play
each hole fer the distance they need
'
What does it get a guy If he gat
250 yards on a 300-yard hole aa' wind
up finding his ball 75 yard In the
rough with a couple a tree In hi
way? That's one of Leo Schuhmaoh-
er's bad habits. An' Bob Patterson
likewise likes to tee kin he knock it
a mile.
It's jest the opposite with Johnny
Tbeall. Johnny bits most of his tee
shots at least 250 yards 100 up 100
down an' 50 straight away. Bob Miller
gets a awful hook when he tries to see
kin be kill the poor innocent thing.
George Smyths when he trie to
knock the old gutta percha lopsided
usually looks up too toon to tee how
far it I goln' an' top It.
It would be a good idea if aome one
started a hit easier week. Then after
we all got hittin' them easy mebbe
some one will start a keep your eye
on the ball week.
Pat Houston an' Mao McNeill sug-
gest that tome one start a keep out

Wyoming Grappler Partially Blind Changes Tactics So

By "ANDY."
If wrestling fans who attend the
championship bout Tuesday night
between Clarence Eklund and Har-
ry Matnoe are observing they may
aee something that will cause them
to marvel.
Just keep your eyes on Eklund.
Watch how he performs. Not from
the spectacular angle for Eklund
isn't spectacular. But watch him
when he and Mamos are at close
quarters.
Though few fans know it Ek-
lund is partially blind- Many bitter

ty first precautions prohibit them-
Minus the glasses all Eklund can'
see when in the ring is a big blur.
His sole objective at the start of
the match is to get a firm hold on
that blur and then bang on until he
and the blur go to the mat. Once
he gets this bold he seldom lets
Eklund la a student of physical
culture. He knows the human body.
Every muscle and the exact pres-
sure needed to affect these muscles
is known to the Western claipant
ot the light heavyweight cnam-
pionship. This knowledge is as important
tn his scheme of wrestling as con-
dition. When his eyes began to fail
hlin he was confronted with a great
problem. Wrestling was his business-
He had given it as much
time and thought as any business
man would give to the selling of
groceries or making clothes pins
or selling insurance.
There isn't such a big disad-
vantage in defective sight Eklund
claims. "If a wrestler is so far
away from me that I can't aee him
he can't do me much harm- If he
is close enough so that I can make
him out then he isn't any better
off than I" he argues-

v
After Eklund gets a hold he
claim j he can close bis eyes and
proceed- it's all a matter of bal-
ance. For instance if the wrest-
lers are standing facing each other
in midring Eklund knows that the
slightest shove will put bis opponent
off balance. However if Eklund
chances to above his opponent from
the side it would take a harder
shove to throw him off balance.
Therefore the amount of pressure
applied gives him a good idea of
the position of bis man.
Then too Eklund can tell from
the feel of an arm or leg the po-
sition of his opponent's body. All
this of course is necessary first
because a wrestler must put his op-
ponent In a position to off balance
him when the right time comes
and aecond because the wrestler
must alwaya know the position of
his opponent to determine Just
what said opponent haa in mind.
Eklund and Mamos are both said
to be down to the required weight
of 175 pounds. Mamos expects to
continue training today so aa to be
well under the weight Just aa a pre-
caution. Eklund has been under
175 poupds in practically every one
of bis last six matches.

pounders who appear in the pre-

insisting that every bout on any bill
he promotes is important even if

generally hanging around to see that
there isn't any tooling about it-
Sigel is particularly anxioua that

Associated Press Report.
PARIS Nov. 25. John J. M.KJraw
manager and part owner of the New
York National League Baseball club
put somewhat of a crimp in the pari-
mutual machine at the Auteuil race
track thia afternoon. McGrew "beat'
the first five races on the program
but failed in his sixth attempt to win.
Although his pockets were filled
with bills he did not make what is
known in sporting parlance as a "kill-
ing" for the winners he picked were
at short odds and the fram-H when
translated Into dollars did not repre-
sent any great amount.
"There are too many ciphers to
these bills" declared McGraw. 'I al-
ways feel as if I am betting boyum!
my means." The manager of the Na-
tional league champions was wngering
1000 francs to the race or little more
than $50.
While McGraw was assisting in im-
roving the breed of French horses.
Irs. McGraw aud Mrs. Hugh Jen-
nings spent the afternoon visiting the
Chateau Versailles. Metiraw nnd his
party will leave for Germany Tues-
day. Guy Garner of Kentnekv and Frank
O'Neill of St. IiOiiis finished second
and third respectively in I lie lir of
winning jockeys for the season. The
American riders were topped by Ja-k
Jennings of England. Jennings had
101" w inning mounts Garner ill anil
O'Neill 83. O'Neill was away from
the race courses for two months early
in the summer on account of injuries.
This is the fifst season ho ban not
ranked as the premier jockey of the
French turf since he came to ride
for W. K. Vanderbilt in 1D07.

Al'STIX Texas Nov. 25. With
the view of participating in the Olym-
pic meet in Paris France next sum-
mer Jim Reese star track athlete
of the University of Teias will com-
pete in the national Intercollegiate

in the mile half mile or relay races
there aconrdlng to Clyde Littlefield
Longhorn track coach.
If Reese is successful at the na-
tional meet he will be sent aa a
representative of the United States
to Europe in the summer of 11)24.
At the Olympic meet in Paris the
greatest athletee of the world will
contest for the supremacy in their
respective sports. The Olympic meet
originated during the time that the
Greeks were considered the best phy-
sical specimens in the world. The
custem of having a world wide meet
has been perpetuated through the cen-
turies. "I believe that Reese will finish
among the winners at Atlanta and
will have the opportunity of tak-
ing part In the Olympic meet." stat-
ed Coach Clyde Littlefield "He is
a mervelouK physical specimen and
doubtless one of the greatest track
stars the South ever Had."
Last summer Reese won out at
the national meet In Chicago. He
has established several Southwestern
conference records in mile and
half mile races. His record shows
that he baa no peer in Texas.
For More Constant Efficiency Use
CflSTORBLEfJD
Dealers have told us that Castorblend appears to last
longer than mineral oils; car owners have been surprised
often when inspecting the crank case after 300 to 400 miles
running to find Castorblend still retaining almost its origi-
nal viscosity.
ftiancyaTdgilico1Tbinn&iy?a
Tuts have Inoicsted that the addi-
tion of a precentaga of castor oil to
the mineral oil Improve efficiency
of the latter nnd raised the critical
point. An experiment proved that the
supposition was correct. By adding
a portion of castor oil to the mineral
oil ths efficiency and the critical point
were raised and the mixture (Castor-
blend) maintained a more constant
efficiency than did the mineral oil
without the castor oil added.

laurels to both teams.

perfect string of victories both In and .
out of the confernce. Michigan baa .
four conferences and our uon-coa-s - .
ferencc victories while Illinois defeat-
ed five teams in the conference and "
three out.
Chicago in undisputed third place
with its victory over Wisconsin Sat-
unlay dragged down five conference

games losing one and tying one fin-
ished in fourth place. Iowa divided
its conference season winning three

fifth with Indiana.

the leaders of the conference won .
only one of its four confernce genres ...
placing seventh. Ubio faced a sun

eyes placed eighth. Purdue placed

LOCKHART LOSES.
LOCKHART Texas .Nov. 25.
Wit four of their best players dis-
abled and the coach Jimmie Cate in
bed with a chill the LockJiart High
school football team journeyed to
Kyle for a game with the school team
there and lost to 'them jay a score
of 7 to 0. There is a move on foot
to add a number of players to the
team to take the placea of those dis-
abled in future.
One reason Is that castor oil
resists dilution with gasoline
seeping past th piston rings;
another la that castor oil pro-
duces greater efficiency at high
temperature than any other a-
brlcant. Therefore CASTOttBLEND
a combination of pure castor
oil and high grade mineral oil-
does not "break down" as soon
as the latter when used by Itself
The critical point of mineral
oil Is raised by addition of cas-
tor oil. CASTORBLKND with
Its higher critical point there-
fore gives greater and more
constant efficiency.
