Its the Fourth of July. Robbie Powell recently return ed from the Methodist Church Camp at Riverside. She said she had a' delightful time, and wished that more of us would have been among the campers. The 4-H Club spent its recrea tion evening at the Capitol Beach. Those attending were Jeanette Venigar, Dorothy Green, Iona Adams and Ida Atkins. The girls were accompanied by their recreation leader, Mrs. Jack Nel son. Speaking of the 4-H Club, we would like to increase our active membership roll. Why don’t you girls join? It’s a lot of fun and we learn a lot of things that are essential to everyone. Some of the girls seen bike riding Sunday afternoon were: Loretta McWilliams, Susie Mae Whitehall, and Beverley Holcomb. They were certainly dressed for the occasion, cute shorts and blouses. The month of June is over and still, some of our boys don’t know how to spell Cupid, so we put our heads together to see if we could make it a little simpler so this is what we found: C ute is Hazel Wilson U nderstanding is your girl (you hope) P retty neat dresser is Loretta McWilliams I rrestible is Vonna Finley D elightful is the personality of Joyce Williams The Y-teens went on a skating party at the Beach last evening Susie Mae Whitehall had a kit chen party, they made fudge and popped corn.

A. U. championships here Friday and Saturday, arrived here the past week end along with Coach Julio Navarro. Dr. Narciso Camejo, Cu ba’s A.A.U. representative, and teammate Eligio Barberia. Navarro stated that Senor For tun had beaten Herb McKenley, the Jamaican who now runs for the University of Illinois and holds the world’s 440-yard dash record, on six different occasions. He also boasts of wins over Lloyd LaBeach. the internationally fa mous Panamanian sprinter. The last time Fortun beat Mc Kenley and LaBeach was at the Central American and Caribbean Games which were held at Bar ranquilla, Columbia, in December of 1946. Senor Fortun will compete in the 100 meter dash this week end and he said his best mark this mar was 10.4. The other member of the two man Cuban team, Senor Eligio Barberia, runs the 400 meter hur dles and has a best time of 55.3 140 Record Broken Again 3y McKenley Herb McKenley of Illinois raced to a world’s record bettering time of 46.3 seconds Saturday in win ning the 440-yard dash in the all-star track and field meet be tween athletes of the Big Nine and the Pacific Coast conference. Four dockers caught the flash from Jamaica in time that was faster than the accepted record of 46.4 set in 1932 by Ben Eastman of Stanford and equalled in 1941 by Grover Klemmer of California. McKenley’s time, however, was a tenth of a second slower than his winning mark of 46.2 in the National Collegiate AA champion ships at Salt Lake, he ran around two turns as against the easier one-turn race here. Big Nine athletes scored a smashing 94 V4 to 37 Vi victory over their Pacific Coast rivals. The Coasters were dominated from beginning to end, the Big Niners winning 13 first places and swept all the points in the discus. Badly outclassed, the Coast cindermen fronted only three events. Minnesota’s Fortune Gordien and Northwestern’s Bill Porter shared individual high point laurels with 10 apiece, altho Mc Kenley’s record-smashing 440 was the outstanding performance. -o RAY ROBINSON OFFERS TO AID DOYLE'S FAMILY Although absolved of all blame in the death of Jimmy Doyle, the West Coast fighter who died last week following their welter weight championship bout, Ray (Sugar) Robinson was deeply moved by the unfortunate inci dent and deeply sympathetic with the dead fighter’s family. So much so, that the welter weight champion announced this week that he will be willing to appear in a benefit fight on the coast in order to help Doyle’s bereaved family. He said he would donate his share of the purse. “I am willing to go to Califor nia” Ray said, “and fight a benefit for the Doyle family. I am very sorry that this fight ended so tragically. Doyle and I were good friends and I wouldn’t have hurt him for anything in the world. We were simply in their fighting aaeh other and when he fell his head hit the canvas and affected an old injury. I’m very sorry and will do anything I can to help his family. He was a nice fellow and a good fighter.” Coroner Samuel Gerber ruled that Robinson in no way was re sponsible for the death of Doyle, who died 17 hours after he was technically knocked out. After questioning Referee Jackie Davis and Promoter Larry Atkins the coroner absolved the welter weight champion of all blame. Davis said that at no time in his title bout with Robinson did Doyle appear to be in bad shape. “I scored the sixth round for Doyle,” he said, “and he was car rying the fight to Robinson when the knockout occured. He was losing on points, but was making a good fight.” LITTLE REGGIE_ ^_By Margarita ■IRS HIGHTOWER WANTS TO MIND HER BABY - RIGHT AWAY, l BUT I HAVE TO PLAY BASE BALL Ey )±T' J never mind baseball — \ GO TO MRS HIGHTOWERS AND )| JITTER BEAL BROS.
