C. Phipps, and Ogden Mills. Sunny Jim Fitzsim- mons, who conditioned Gallant Fox, ! |trains the stable’s runners. Mills, who claims his surname is Jjust plain Hank, and not Henry or Harry, also wants to see the tall buildings, attend the Broadway | shows and shake hands with Earle' Sande, but most of all he wants to ride on a subway. | Wins Over Night | Resembling a miniature Sonny ‘Workman, Mills earned a remark- ably large following practically over night. During the Tropical Park season he rode 27 winners and continued his sensational work at Hialeah. { Mills has become famous for| great finishes. He is strong for his weight, most of his power being well placed in the upper part of his body. Many competent judges have! ‘proclnimed ‘him the most promising | ;appmmice jockey since Workman ! |swept the winter turf in his ap-, | prentice days. } He' never gets flustered in the thick of a tight race and can hand HE HAS BEEN HONTING BIG GAME IN CANADA WHILE TRAINING FOR THE OLYMPICS Biff Jones isn't going down to Louisiana State to install the “West Point system” of foot- ball, nor will Burt Ingwersen help him inflict either the “Iowa” or “Tllinois system” upon the boys who | turn out for the gridiron squad at Baton Rouge this year, The truth is that Biff Jones will go in for the highly efficient “War- ner system,” lock, stock and bar- | rel, featuring the double wingback formation, rather than the single wingback style preferred by the | Army's present big chief, Major Ralph TIrvine Sasse. Biff Jones is one of the soundest and best liked football men in the country. He was a stalwart in. the pre-war Army football lines him- self, a first class artilleryman along the lines of the Western Front and subsequently a fine line and head ceach. He is no great shakes as a Ro-) tarian himself, but he is the kind | “of a guy you like to have come around, often, and he will do a workmanlike job for Louisiana State. Backs Make ‘System’ | While Biff directed football at West Point, he adapted his tacbics‘ to the exceptional material he had| in hand. His ace ball-toters were! Lighthouse Harry Wilson and Lou-| isiana Red Cagle, two of the best! that the east has ever seen in ac-| tion. | These two did things that were| contrary to book rules, but they scored touchdowns and that hap-| pens to be the thing they pay off on. H Cagle, in his last two years,was, the Army attack. Not even the| coaches knew what he was going| {AUSTRALIAN FLIES West Point coincided with the fin- ish of Cagle's career as a soldier. Biff went back to artillery school for a year at Fort Sill. Red re- signed, following the discovery of his marriage, and went to work in a Wall street brokerage house. Tip To Tulane Although Jones came back to the Military Acadamy to be groomed for the graduate manager's post, the opportunity to resume coach- ing at Louisiana State, while still keeping his captaincy, appealed strongly to him. He is at his best and happiest when directing artillery field work or drilling a football line. Finan- cially, too, his new job will mean much more to him than if he stayed exclusively on the army payroll. A long cheer and good luck, therefore, to the Biff, and a warn- ing to Tulane, arch rival of Lou- isiana State. FORCE GOLFERS TO SPRAY THEMSELVES SYDNEY, Australia, Feb. 2.—A late summer has hatched out flies | in such numbers here that golfers and participants in other out-o{-l door sports have been spraying themselves with fly killer.

Last summer Hank made his debut in the “big time,” riding his first winner July 1 at Lansdowne, Vancouver, B. C. In 44 days of racing over ovals in that section of Canada he rode 67 winners. At Agua Caliente he was equally as successful, booting 27 home within 20 days before leaving for Florida. He came east with a rec- ord of having scored with one- fourth of his mounts during 1931. ——-o———— jFOUR FLORIDA BASKETEERS HAVE DECEMBER BIRTHDAYS GAINESVILLE, Fla., Feb. 2.—1If the Florida Gators have a good or bad season at basketball, astrolo- gers will probably rise up and say it was because of the stars.

SVEN HOLOS THE INTERNATIONAL CROSS-COUNTRY TITLE™ /7 COHOES SCORE HIGH | TO BEAT LOBSTERS; | SOCKEYES TAKE TWO The Cohoe sharpshooters were hitting ’em last might on the Elks’ Club alleys and took the Lobsters into camp to the tune of three straight. Barragar, 594, and Cleve- land, 578, led the assault on the Lobster trenches, the former rolling 234 in his last game. i No heavy cannonading marked the Sockeye-Crab engagement, nary a boyler reaching the 200 mark. The Sockeyes won the odd gams. Because of the bowlers’ dance to- night only one match will be played off—the Chums meeting the Cohocs at 7:15 o'clock.

Preliminary plans call for it to be 500 feet high where it would Dbite deepest int obedrock. It would tower 350 feet above the present level of the Columbia River. The dam would be about 4,300 feet long and require ten million yards of concrete. ‘Seven times as much water would be handled as at Hoover Dam, and a 150-mile lake would be formed above the dam. The lake would form an im- portant link in the inland water- ways along the Columbia River planned by the War Department and would store 5,000,000 acre feet of water for irrigation. 4,000,000 Horsepower Engineers estimate electricity ot- taling 4,000,000 horsepower could be developed at the Grand Coulee site. Of this amount, 2,000,000 horse- power will be sold to western slope power companies. ‘The remaining secondary power would be used for raising water impounded by the dam 285 feet in- to & matural reservoir formed by the Grand Coulee—the channel of the Columbia River—for irrigating the Columbia basin and for pumping water to other irriga- tion projects.
