Mars Hill Football Men To Begin Work Sept. 9 The. call has gone out to all candi dates for the Mars Hill football team to report September 9, and to be in perfect Dhysical shaps by that time, since Coach Roberts will have only eleven practice days in which to whip his team into shape for the opening game with Tennessee Wesleyan on the 21st. Several replacements must be made in the team this year, as there will be but four linesmen, only two of whom are regulars back in uniforms. Three regular backs will report and the team will have to be built around these men. Wirtz, Clark and Parker will bear the brunt of the attack and whep these boys are right they are hard to stop.

M. H., Jr. "A viciou hoax" it what the Ameri can Medical Association calls the plan of Dr. Ralph S. Willard, California monkey-freezer, to freeze a human being solid and try to revive him. Last reek, after the monkey was "revived after six days of freezing, a 34-year- old Hollywood writer named Stephen Simkhovitch volunteered to undergo the same treatment. A contract was made freeing the doctor from respon sibility if he dies as a result. But whether they will actually go through with it is doubtful. Another score for commercial ir- ines, which seem to be able to get their passengers onto the ground safe ly despite all manner of trouble in the air.

Three men are held on suspicion. New Yorkers still believe in body guards, in spjte of the general idea that the gangs and the rackets are on the decline. Although Mayor La Guardia stoutly refuses to recognise the need for them, many "bir shots" are increasing their personel armies; in one case a bodyguard was even hired to protect the bodyguard.
