CUTE KID Two old college chums, Dan and Ilal, met for the first time in many years. Dan was much mar- ried and a family man to boot, as are all family men. He invited Hal, still wearing the smile of a bachelor, out to his house for supper to meet the wife and Junior, his five-year-old offspring. At the house Hal did everything he could to amuse the kid, including giving him his watch to play with. It was while Hal was in one room talk- ing to the missus that Dan came running in from another where he'd been playing with junior and exclaimed, Gosh, Junior is going to be an auction- eer when he grows up. Ha! Ha! Halu What makes you think so? queried Hal. VVhy, he just put your watch under the ham- merlw PA TO THE RESCUE It seems that a young chap, courting a young girl, was conscious that papa, stuck around a great deal and seemed to have suspicions. Being a nice, frank fellow he, decided to put his cards on the ta- ble. o he said to papa: Sir, I warn you! One of these evenings I'm going to elope with your daughter. Young man, replied pa, step down to the garage with me a minute !', Not a mite abashed, the young chap asked, Are you going to attempt to thrash me? No, indeedli' came back father. I'm going to give you a ladder! NO PUBLICITY WANTED joe Schibble, of the Daily Blotz, was excited. You might even say joe was a-twitter. And you could hardly blame him, for he was about to gain an interview withg Vilma Vacuum, Holl.ywood's most glamorous star. Vilma, noted for her si- lence, seldom granted an interview to the lowly press. Small wonder that Ioe's blood pressure ran wild. The drawing-room curtains parted and Vilma, in person, stood before him. Ah, Miss Vacuum, he greeted her, bowing low, this is, indeed, a pleasure. 'fPleaSe do not keep me long, commanded Vilma rather severely, I hate interviews. I wish news- papers would leave me alone. I'll only be a minute, Miss Vacuumf, replied joe. I just want a message to your fans for our paperf, You may tell them, said Vilma, that I de- spise publicity in any form. Marvelous l said joe. In behalf of our paper, I want to thank you for the story. Goodbye, Miss Vacuum. Ch, one thing more, Vilma added. If you put that story in the back of the paper where no- body'll see it, I'll raise the devil, see l Eddie-He may preach against card playing, but I have nothing but praise for our new minister. Freddie-Yeah, I noticed that when the collec- tion plate was passed around.

Football fContinued From Page 275 Basketball CContinued From Page 283 Charles Black at tackle was instrumental in hold- ing the opposing line many times. Charles is one of the heavier players and was stiff opposition when it came to going through the line. Delois Burnett was on hand to stop a11y attempt of the opposing team to go through guard and he played his position well. Eugene Carroll, colored half, was one of the speediest backs in the C. K. L. In a pinch, he near- ly always found a way to gain the necessary yard- age, and was also a good passer. Delbert Debl' Chaves, during the first of the season. did some nice punting and also accounted for many of the extra points. -Brooks Gibbs at half was a dependable yard- gaiuer and kept a cool head. Abilene Opp't dation of Abilene's team. The second team and tuose who acted as substitutes on the first team did some good work this year, and are expected to fill in next gear. A. Op.

H. S., with forty boys reporting for practice at the beginning of the season. With but two weeks' practice the Cowboy track- men entered a dual meet at Herington with the Railroaders and placed second. The next track meet was also a dual meet held at Clay Center. With a greater amount of practice, the Cowboys made a better showing but still rated only second place. A triangular meet followed with the Chapman Irish and the McPherson Bulldogs at Chap- man. This time Abilene ranked with a higher number of points, but by a close margin Chapman succeeded in winning first with the A. H. S. track- sters second and McPherson third. A week before the Central Kansas League track meet in Salina, Abilene participated in a quadrang- ular track meet at Salina, and placed third with junction City first, Salina second, and McPherson fourth. ln this meet Abilene took only one first which was the 440-yard dash. Monday, May 7, Salina was the host to the C. K. L. track meet from which the Cowhands emerged with fifth place. Abilene took two sec- onds: the mile relay and the 440-yard dash, and third in the shot-put, to make a final total of fif- teen points. Abilene will have all but two lettermen back next year, Clarence Rutz and Elmer Hollar. Those who received letters and the events in which they participated are as follows: Amsbaugh, medley relay, Book, half mile relay, Bell, Ioo-yard dash, Burkhardt, mile relay, Curtis, pole vault, javelin, Gibbs, broad jump, relay, Har- per, hurdles, javelin, Hollar, foo, 220, 440-yard dashes, Kauffman, half mile, McMillan, pole vault, Muller, javelin, mile, Nugent, hurdles, mile relay, Parsons, mile relay, half mile, Rutz, shot- put, high jump, mile relay. At the Regional Track Meet in Manhattan, Fri- day, May II, the mile relay team composed of Har- per, Gibbs, Rutz, and Hollar failed to place. Gobf and Tennis For the first time in the history of tl1e school, Abilene placed first in the C. K. L. Golf Tourna- ment held at Abilene, Saturday, April 28, 1934. The 'fCowboy golfers were Donald Dieter and Fred Gardner. Dieter ranked first while Gardner tied for fifth. This is Dieter's last year in A. H. S., a11d his place will probably be hard to fill next year. In tennis this year, Abilene took part in only one competitive meet, which was the Central Kansas League Tennis Tournament held in Salina, Tues- day, May 8, in which Abilene placed fourth. The singles players were Lyle Fackler and Elmer Hollar. Having had no actual tournament play, they succeeded in winning fourth place as also did the doubles team composed of Dudley Londeen and Donald Makins. Both Fackler and Hollar graduate this year, and it is expected that their shoes will be hard to fill from the ever-increasing number of tennis playing un- derclass men.
