It would be a. fine thing for the local
an association. and obtain a coach for
high school athletics. There is no
reason in the world. why the local
school should not turn out some of the
best teams in the state in the various
branches of sports.

They have some mighty fine
material in the local school at the
present time for the football team : ext
season. and they have some more fine
material coming in to the school from
the Junior high schools in the city.
Under the eye of a coach who is paid
to do this work. and can afford to give
plenty of time. and with the support of
the entire student body Norwalk high
school should have a great. football
team.

Now is the time to start planning for
next season's football team. :fot wait
until the last minute. Now is the time
to4al¥= fv‘o‘rbaii to the finder—Its at as-
sembly, get them interested. point out
to them what a. great football team
would mean to the local institution.
Then when the call for candidates for
the team is issued next fall. there
should be a big squad out. In a school
as large as the Norwnlk school there is
no reason in the world why a. squad of
70 or 80 candidates should not turn
out for the team.

Most of the New York papers. ili
putting out their list of champions for
the year of 1922. have named Johnny
Dundee and Mike O'Dowd as the
champions in the feather and middle—
weight Classes. These men were
named by the New York Boxing com:
mission as champions in those two
divisions. replacing Johnny Kilbaue
and Johnny Wilson.
C O D
It is hard to understand how a box-
ing commission can step in and take a
man‘s title away from him. that he has
won by defeating the lighter who for-
merly held it. and hand it to some
lighter whom they think is entitled to
it. There is no doubt biit what the
[man that defeats either Kilbnne or
\Vilson Will also he considered clum-
pion in these two classes by the
public. The man who defeats Mike
()‘Dowd might be considered middle-
weight champion of the world by the
New York Boxing Commission. but
that is as far as it will go.

L08 ANGELES.—Jimmy Murphy,
fastest man en wheels. has no pa
tienco with the street speedster who
is piling up frightful national toll.
“Much recklessness." he says, with
his verbal cut-out open. "is the sheer
deadly vanity of the man who steps on
the gas because he wants the world
or his passenger to see what a. virile
and masterful fellow he ll. _
"Nine cases out of ten, he's mut-
ton-headed rather than masterful."
This thoughtful. self-controlled. gen-
ial little Irish-American cut his eye
teeth on racing tires and .‘lls wisdom
molars on track accidents. No one
would accuse him of being faint-
hearted. but he attributes his luurels
to a. degree of caution of which the
average driver would be ashamed.
Forget the Brnvado
“The. fellow who has so impulse
toward bravado." said Jimmy. "had
better overhaul his mental machin-
ery. especially if he's sitting at a
steering wheel.
" f course. every race driver knows
tlle‘sediictiens of the speed siren in-
citing lth ,to carelessness. That's one
of the‘ temptatiOn we have constantly
to fight. especially during the early
laps and' brushes when you're. almost
drunk with exhilaration. There is
such 3 thing as excessive speed even
in places dedicated to speed.
“But there's no place to teach you
the value of rigid self-discipline like
the speed bovl. where even with the
utmost precaution your chances of
life and death are almost even. I’\e
seen many crashes and have figured
in several. and have come to how.-
ft. high respect for danger. It fairly
makes my skin crawl to see the
chances taken by you.- swaggering
driver of the boulevards."
Murphv. holder of the French
Grand Pris nt 23!. had just added the
25mlnilo Beverly Hills. Cal. classic to
his five notable Victories of the sea-

previous record for the dis‘nce with
an average of 1” 6-10 miles per hour.

captain of the Holy Cross football
team for 19:13. is one of the most. ver-
