On this, his last • clay of foot- ball, Harrington was playing against a rough and bruising VillanOVa team. In the last quar- ter, head Coach Otis Darais of Detroit, after having watched Bob playing his heart out, de, cided to take him out of the game for a few minutes to give him a well-deserved rest. Bob, unmarked as usual, came off the field and flopped on the bench near the coach, On the very next play, there was a wild mix-up at the side-lines on a punt return. One of Harring- ton's teammates was flung into the Detroit bench right where. Bob sat, When the tangle was unscrambled, Harrington was stretched out on the bottom, cold and still. He had been kicked in the face, two teeth were knocked out, and gashes torn in his lip and chin. Revived by cold water, Harrington looked up into the anxious eyes of his coach. "Please, coach," he said through torn lips, "please put me back in the game where it's safe!" Game Athlete Clarence DeMar is the grand old man of the long-distance marathon. In the track world, they call him "The Shuffler." It is a cause for wonder and amazement when this veteran enters another race, but that is the least note - worthy point about his great career. For Clarence DeMar was born with a crooked foot, He took up run- ning as a boy merely as a form of exercising the foot. A friend who taunted him, egged him into entering a handicap race. He won, and got the crazy notion that he had the makings of a runner in him, He went on and won a ten-mile race. . Flushed with victory, the boy with the crooked foot resolved to become a great long-distance runner. So he entered the 26-mile Boston Marathon, a gruelling gallop that tried the hearts of the best long- distance runners in the world. And, without experience Or class, and pitted against the best run- ners in the world, Clarence De- Mar startled the sports world by finishing second! In the thirty years that follow- ed, Clarence DeMar ran in thirty marathons and finished worse than third only once. .He won practically every important ma- arthon in the world, and seven times has copped the -famous Boston grind." A runner born with a crooked foot proved that he, too, could walk with the gods of sports, even if he had to shuffle to °reach the pinnacle of fame!' * * * How He Started As a boy, Johnny was doomed to a life of Wilds. He was a frail weakling, and the doctors who examined him sadly shook their heads. One of them * sug- gested that Johnny take swim- ming exercises: But there was one drawback to that bit' of me- dical advice. Johnny hated the water. He couldn't swim a stroke, and, for that matter, neither could his father or mother. Up to the age of 12, Johnny had never been in a larger body of water than could be contained in a bathtub, However, the doctor insisted. Johnny, reluctantly, took up swimming at the age of 13. He started paddling in the muddy QUEEN'S CATCH — A tasty snook is proudly displayed by angler Lynn Ann Elliott, queen of the Miami Beach summer fishing tournament.

After a while, the sport of, swimming •begin to ap- peal to him. He happened to see some really good mermen and, to amuse himself, he began to imi- tate their swimming strokes.. Eventually, this sick weakling who had to take up swimming in order to save his life became the world's most famous swim- mer. To this very day, whenever the world hears of a new swim- ming sensation, the question, "Is he as good as Johnny?", is the first one asked. They measure them all against the greatest swimmer in the world, the in- comparable Johnny Weissmuller. Twice, The Height, Of Niagara You can hear the thunder 7 . miles away. You can see the towers of spray 25 miles away. It, is said to be the greatest river wonder in the world. They call it 'Mosi-oa-Tunya — the "Smoke That Thunders" — Africa's fabu- lous' Victoria Falls. For miles above, the broad Zambesi River heaves green and lazily. A sunbathing crocadile 'ilinki silently into 'the Water at your approach; with a splutter of 'bubbles a hippopotamus goes down: birds of a hundred colors chatter, and call against a sky the blueet of blues; monkey~ and babdons scamper complaining into :the trees at your footfall, It is tranquil here. Then at the brink of the falls, as though whipped by a huge mixer, the river is suddenly a churning, leaping avalanche of dazzling whiteness which thrusts out and down into the Mile-wide gash across the red dust of Rho- desia at 75,000,000 gallons a min- ute. It spills massively in a wall Of never-ending giant columns some 350 feet — twice the height of Niagara — to the chasm's bot- tom, This is no escarpment but a fissure in terrain which is level above and below the falls. The gorge eigzags and widens till some 40 miles lower the Zambesi regains its old pace Hundreds of gallons of water funnel back up the face of the gorge in great banks of spray from the bottom to the brink and then as high again, In April the river leVel is 50 feet higher than in the hottest and rle'est Month of November arid then the spray at times obscures the view froni the opposite bank, But when the spray denies this view, it provides On 'alterna- titre, Per the spray that falls again like heavy rain nourishes an Eden in the heart of the dry, Parched Scrub that stretches for miles.

It was a gruelling fifteen-hundred-- mile race across dangerous eng roads, which, from year to year, had paid off in injury or death for some unfortunate drivers, That year a girl joined the most famous drivers in Europe to compete in this gruelling and dangerous automobile race. To the surprise of all, she finished the race, while other far more famous male daredevils failed. Her daring feat created a sear elation! The world was even more astonished when it learned that this daring girl automobile rac- ing driver was the most remark- able versatile woman athlete 'in all Europe.
