Mrs. Nußryde—lt was so tough my husband couldn’t cat the biscuits I made from it. The day had been very trying for both the would-be traveler and the ticket agent. “Can I get on the New York train before it starts?” she ask ed. "Yes, madam,” replied the official, weraily. “In fact, you will have to if you want to get on at all.” GOLF FACTS H iv SMO6S OM / ' Yogi Muppy cnqgses ; Number 893 ALEX MORRISON says: At this time of year courses are soft and muddy. There arc places where you have to walk up and down slippery hills, places where you can easily turn an ankle or slip and receive an injury that can be quite serious. You can prevent such a mishap by wearing spiked shoes. This doesn’t mean that you have to buy an expensive shoe. A pair of heavy soled and, if possible, water-proofed shoes will serve to hold the necessary spikes. There are several companies making shoes of this kind. No doubt you’ve seen them advertised but felt that your old rubber-soled standbys would do. They’ll do you wrong just when I you least expect it. The rubber sole becomes thin and slick, just the thing you want to avoid when the going is wet and slippery. : You don’t have to buy shoes espe i daily for golf. An ordinary street | shoe with a heavy sole will do. ; You can buy the spikes and put I them in yourself. The spikes i should be in the heels also. Weekly Exercise No. 4.

But there are outstanding stars over the dis tance in this country. Tom Qttey is one. Experts say it looks dark foe the United States in the distance runs. Ottey may shed a little light on the situation in Berlin. Tom—Thomas O. Ottey —„ is the former Michigan State athlete, scholar and leader who was I. C.-4A cross-country champion in 1933 and ’34, and was 10,000-meter A. A- U. titleholder in 1932 and agpln W year. Active aa Student Ottey was a leader on the Lans* ing, Mich., campus. The veteran campaigner placed his name high in school affairs in the four-year term he served there as junior business administration student. Tom served as president of the se nior class in 1925: was head steward and general manager of the Men’s Commons in Wells Hall, the college dormitory for men: was a member of the senior men’s honorary frater nity, a member of the national mili tary organization on the oampus, and a member of the business aministra- Uon honorary scholastic fraternity. When not engrossed with such tasks as these, Tom worked for hl# board and room.

For the past three years the two have battled it out at the Florida re sort, hub this year the Sunshine State contingent-is to meet the Bluejackets on the latter’s own territory. Though a definite date is yet to be set it has been agreed the southernmost rivals of the SHS players will make the trip to Savarmha next winter. There will be about 25 experienced men fighting for positions on the Blue jacket team when the call is sounded for fall practice and Coach “Jawn” is inclined to believe next year’s SHS color bearers will be something to reckon with. On the other hand, re ports drifting north have it that a heavier, faster and more experienced squad is in prospect next season at Miami High. The line, which for awhile was giv- Ing Coach Clyde Crabtree plenty of trouble, shaped up in good fashion dur ing spring practice. Miami High’s pony backfield of last reason seems to have outgrown iteelf and the vet eran ball carriers didn’t give their men tors much worry during the spring trials.

He holds the freshman and var sity cross-country records for the course at Michigan State and holds a couple of other mile and two mile records. Tom competed in the 10,000 met ers (about 6.2 mlies) in the 1932 Olympics. He was then not the great runner he is today. If his work as an auditor in Philadelphia, his home town, doesn't interfere, perhaps Un cle Sam will be able to break the monopoly Finland and Poland have held over the 10,000-meter route in Olympic history.
