AUSTRALIAN NET SQUAD PLANNING AMBITIOUS TOUR MELBOURNE, Australia, March 23—Jack Crawford, Vivian Mec- Grath, Adrian Quist and D. P. Turnbull will represent Australia in the Davis cup competition. The Australian Lawn Tennis As- sociation has decided to send the quartet to Europe for the matches and has indicated they may even send them to America. It was decided the players should be entered for the French tennis championships in May at Auteuil and for Wimbledon in June.

Our authority for this bit of an- cient history is Jack Coffey, Ford- ham’s graduate manager, who was {a collegiate contemporary of Col- lins and enjoyed a checkered pro- fessional baseball career for years before he took over his present post with the Maroon in 1924. “Collins played under his own | name in a little league in up-state | New York before he caught the eye of big league scouts and was given a tryout with the A’s,” said Cof- fey. “He didn't think anything of | it at the time but when the ques- | those days,” the same team with Collins iniget hut it also a fact that the _ recalled Coffey. “It|oyerhead of the A's has been cut was a coincidence that years la- fom 75000 to $100,000 by the de- ter, in 1917, they were on opps'iparture of players Simmons, Haa$ CONFERENGE IS | Apvice OF ExPeRT site sides in the world “series, in cne gal of which Heinie chased Eddie across the plate, trying to tag him. “It was a foolish play, of course, and Zimmerman always was charged with one of the biggest ‘bones’ in baseball but it wasn't entirely his fault. Riorden, catch- ing for the Giants, had advanced up the third base line during the play, leaving the plate unprotected. Holke, the first baseman, also failed to cover and when Collins broke away, pursued by Zimmer- man, there was no one to whom Heinie could throw the ball.” John Francis Coffey served three big league teams as an infielder, playing with both Boston clubs as well as Detroit, but his light stick work kept him in the minors most of the time.

Rogers, of the Department of Ag- ricultural Economics at State Col- lege. Horses and mule power, he points out, is staking a comeback all over the nation. The tractor, once eyed with alarm by farm livestock, is now too expensive for the average farm, according to the expert, and farmers can grow the motive fuel on which mules and horses are propelled. Girls “Go ! Cooper:ti_ve” To Defeat Depression AMES, Ia., March 23.—Thirteen girls in the Zeta Tau Alpha soror- ity house at Iowa State College here have “gone cooperative” to' beat the depression. i The work, by weeks, is done hy five pairs, with the other threes “off.” Two girls set the table and serve the meals; two wash the breakfast dishes, two the lunch and two the dinner dishes, and the other two attend to house cleaning. A married couple serve as cook and furnace-man-custodian in re- $12.75 turn for board and room. The girls report a “substantial reduction” in operating expenses. Here’s New Way to Eamn One’s College Education RACING, Wis, March 23.—Vance Smith is “writing gags” to earn his way through college. Smith has sustained his educa- tional enterprise with proceeds from getting up “conversation” and “gag lines” for established profes- sional prestidigitators. Having discovered, in his own nine years at practicing legerde- main, that a magician's chatter is as important as his dexterity, Smith, just 23, decided there should be a market for conversational “accompaniment.” “It isn’t that the professionals / haven't the ability to write their own lines,” Smith says, “but most. of them are too busy with the me- chanics of their art and they wel- come material to brighten up the act.” Allen Sha Established 1898 | i INSURANCE ttuck, Inc.
