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 he the alumnus to play on professional when accepts one team or another. It seems to be assumed in this connection that all} — stalwart, muscular, top notch foot. ball players are honest parents. As a matter fact three fourths of all students attending ‘the more famous universities of this country do receive their board and room free of any cost to them. The “folks” pay it, and as often as not they too are lumni of some college. of regards value We know a father who football training as of more than book learning, and. from fancy has trained his son ‘in all the fine arts of the game This man was a notable football plaver himself. “Football makes character,’ “I’m sending this lad of mine to take my place at guard on the U. C. and 1 surely expect him to give those Indians hell.’”’ He is of course seeing his son through college. insays he 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 sums in building bowls and stadiums across 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. , SAZARAC MINE ; Ly 2 A.

Marriott closed by saying that words could not possibly serve to describe the great. adventure to which the ‘boys were treated. In the afternoon, Pratti and Marriott spoke before the P. T. A. Pratti described ‘‘Life at Scout Camp” and Marriott spoke concerning the ‘‘Ja‘mboree. Tour.”’ Although less detailed than the speeches given in the morning, they did not lack in enthusiasm. The trip will soon be but a historical incident in the life of the Scout movement. which the delegates received, however, will be of even more value as time goes on, and it will be more fully realized that the undertaking of such an adventure as this, was more than a mere joy-ride east.
