Dear Rambler: No doubt you have been wondering where I have been and what I have been doing and also why I never got down to your section of friend, ’tie a long and sad tale of woe and hard luck. Nothing but trouble has followed me since I started my journey to your fair metrop olis. But the mishaps came like torrents of rain for the last two months. /tousm luck mo i Right after I wrote to you last I had some aught [vou ? HowAßoury financial difficulties and had to look around for a dollar or so to continue my trip. Well, I happened to land at r" job of refereeing football games in a tough mill town. . rfeKjmJPin should have known that there was something phoney about the whole setup when I was offered 25 bucks to referee one game. But I needed the dough, so I over- S' i frKjrft looked the possibilities. I went out to the football field for the game over which I was to officiate, and looked the two teams over. Whew! They looked like two mobs get ting ready to wage war, and not with a football, either. But I still acted game and thought I could handle the situation. Really, Rambler, I got along like a veteran for about a quarter—then hell broke loose. If the boys, beg pardon, I meant men, had ever 'known the rules and regulations of foot ball, they cast them aside and began carrying their mates off the field. I happened to stay out of the melee* ‘ until just before the half ended. The Gunners had formed a wedge and were starting down the field when I ran up in front of them to explain that this form of offense was against the rules. Well, that’s as far as I got That wedge went over me like Sir Malcolm did Daytona Beach. But for some unknown miracle or another, the wedge didn’t last long enough and the big fullback was downed this side of their goal line. Well, Sir, the big Jew who ran with the ball had the,intestinal fortitude to come back to me and jabber about not scoring and hollering about his bad luck. Boy, that burned me down. Anyhow, after spending the $25 I made and putting another $75 on the hospital’s cuff, I finally was turned loose to care for my broken bones and spirits. No,, I didn’t spend any more time there. I used “Old Faith ful,” my trusty right thumb, and travelled on to the next town. Now, my appetite had not been fully satisfied for weeks and weeks, so I decided to try my luck in a case. I ate and worked hard enough, but that was all—no spondee , except a few dollars I got from the Negro cook rollin’ sevens. I decided to take a chance at some real money, so I proceeded to pull tip boards, Ending up as almost every other guy who pulls tip boards 1 still have no in come—in fact, not enough to even buy the stamp for this letter. I hope you didn’t mind paying the postage. As ever, THE GENERAL. Be a Sport, Pal Now, General, you know I wouldn’t have minded paying 3 cents for a letter from you, but why did you have to stuff the envelope full of old newspapers and send it special de livery. Os course, it would have cost me even more if you had insured it, so I guess I haven’t got so much to kick about after all- I was glad to hear from you and hope you won’t take more than twice as long to write again. By the way, next time, don’t send me a book. I can’t read. Polishing Up College Boxing Rear Admiral Sellers seems to think that boxing at the U. S. Naval Academy should be made more form al, and has issuer orders that all at tending the Middles’ boxing matches j be attired in formal dress. And j there, readers, you have it. In order, to see a Navy boxing team in action j at heme, you have to get out the old tux or tails and go through as much j or more punishment than the fighters. Even before this formal dress rule was made, it was against the rule to applaud or holler during the rounds. The move will no doubt make it against the rules to give the oppon ent a bloody nose. Even now, college boxing is as un exciting as it could possibly be and if other schools make similar lav/s as to actions and dress during matches, boxing will have to be discontinued. People want action—ls they want to dress up like stiff shirts they would perhaps decide to go to the opera instead. Germany’s Olympiad February 6th will begin another series of international sports compe tition—with the best of every coun try of the globe participating. The 6th is the time set for the start of the Winter Games at Garmisch - Partenkirchen, Germany. Already the U. S. A. has sent over its outstanding ice skaters, bobsled teams, and other champion winter sportsters. In spite of anti-Nazi opposition and fanatics screaming religious toler ance and such Germany has prepared well for the greatest Olympiad yet to be held and from reports, competi tion will p/jve to be the closest yet. And So ! 1 ! ! ! N. C. State and Duke seem to have the outstanding basketball quintets of the State this season - . . the Uni versity of North Carolina, whose White Phantoms won the Southern conference crown last year, must show great improvement to repeat . . . Maybe the Phantoms miss their old coach, Bo Shepard, who resigned as basketball mentor . . . “Knockout Joe” Louis, . the sensa tional heavyweight pugilist, stands a chance of loosing the great build-up, the writers have given him . . . To morrow night Louis will fight Char ley Retzlaff, a fairly good 200- pounder, who seems to think he has all to win and nothing to lose . •. The Negro says he will knock Retzlaff out in four rounds, but things will be in a bad way if Charley would happen to floor Louis,... Some sport dopesters think that the Boston Red Sox of 1916, headed by Babe Ruth, were better than Tom Tawkey’s present group of stars . . . The Cincy Reds may travel all the way to Puerto Rico for their spring training . . . The great Diz Dean is raising a big squawk for a raise . . - I think I’ll do some squawking for a raise ... I know TTI get it, huh, Pop! AND SO— -1 RYLAND 1 v * The Hyland Woman’s Club will meet at the school house Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock.
