C, Sidney, Ohio. - A. Age alone Is not a determining factor in a pension for veterans of either World War I or II. Pensions are determined upon rate of disabil ity. If you are totally and perma nently disabled from a non-service connected disability, or if "you haw a partial, disability- which was cause* or aggravated by .service, then yo*i are entitled to apply to your nearest veterans administration office f^r an examination to determine yota* rate of disability;' If you are haw and hearty at 60 you are not entitle*- U> a pension. 1 ' « Q.

Mike Jacobs, the remarkable fight promoter who practically controls the game, almost took the count of ten ... he was near death for days after, suffering a cerebral hemor rhage.. The right side of his body is paralyzed. Jacobs has been rapid ly extending his power since 1932. He has' contracts with practically every important fighter from Joe Louis down.

Assault was named "horse of r the year” by the nation’s sport writers. The 3-year-old Is owned by the famous King ranch of Texas. He won the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness and the Belmont Fu turity, the three- big races of the year, to gamer over (400,000, a new record for one year. Some Southeastern Conference in stitutions are arguing that the $10 a month limit to students holding athletic scholarships should be dou bled, at least. It would take a lot of doubling and redoubling to make $10 into five or ten grand, which is what several star football players are supposed to get, somewhat surrep- ticusly, of course. And on the subject of money pol luting pure sport, W. G. Bran i am, minor league czar, asserts that 'ram bling is plaguing the ball duba and that there is much evidentof thrown games. His investigate* ;-, he said, "found gamblers so thic’: that they blocked the stadium aisles, and were crying out their odds like auc tioneers.” In one case a whole club Is involved in serious charges, he said. Ken Strong, half back on the Giants pro team, has been i i foot ball, man and boy, for 24 years, 12 of them in professional comp tition* He is 39, and a master at place kicking. Harness race horses wear shoes that are individually weighted to im prove gait defects. Those on the «ront hooves are generally much heavier, and set at a different angle. Not much has been said lately about 'ising oxygen to revive exhausted football players. Experiments at Georgetown U. were encouraging. 3. . : tjj* i i -JhZ * x - x ; • i i * *• f . : ,,--1 NC1P YOUR CAR OIVB YOU TROURM-FREE SERVICE THIS WINTER RY BRINGING IT "BACK HOME” TO US FOR A WINTER CHECK-UP NOW!
