SCOUTS ENTERTAIN —
WITH TRAVEL TALKS
Doing: their good turns in a really big way, Scouts Albert’ Pratti,
Digk Marriott, and Ray. Wilde were
engaged all last Friday in entertaining two very attentive audiences
with the recent Jambore:
tour. Overftlowing with
stories of the group trip across’ the
United States, the three scouts were
able to hold their audiences throughtales of
interesting
ovt their speeches.
Ray Wilde began the description
of the trip during a high school assembly held Friday morning He told
of the send-off received in Aubury

Now from a standpoint ‘of professional training of pure football
players, just how much: better is it,
for this father alumnus to send his
crack football son to his alma mater,
than for an uncle alumuus or merely
a friend alumnus to do the same
thing.
But when players receive a salary
in addition to all living costs, there
is something to roar about. The
wealthiest alumni association logically should always have the _ best
football team. :
Of course the boards of trustees

the land wherever a sizeable university or college stands, are a bit anxious on this matter of professionalism. Several aggregations of pre‘fessionals have been playing to huge
throngs.. They don’t.draw -the college crowd so much but they don’t
need to. It looks as if shortly we will
see professional football organized
in much the same fashion as is base
ball. But even with that. the dignilaries that guard the university
money bags, we believe, need not
worry. If more football is played,
and in time fifty percent of, the
games are by professionals, more and
more people will go to see them, and
pay to do it.
BERT FOREMAN T00
FAST FOR RATTLERS
Mr. Bert Foreman of the Builders
Supply Company of Nevada City and
a friend were walking on a path at
the outskirts of North San Juan Friday they unknowingly walked by a
rattlesnake. ‘The reptile, three feet
long with seven rattles, struck at
Mr. Foreman viciously, just missing
the calf of his leg. Mr. Foreman just
cleared the snake in the next step.
It then started giving its alarm.
Mr. Foreman threw a big stone at
the reptile and cut. it in two.
Thisds the time of the year snakes
shed their skins and are blind. They
strike at anything they hear with-out warning. and later give-warning.
It was a close shave for Mh. Fore.
man, who has had several rather
startling. experiences with rattlers.
“There’s no use in a rattle snake
‘trying to fool with me, I’m just too
fast that’s all.’’ said Mr. Foreman.

By reducing the age limit te 17

The. reduction in the age limit was
