MANITZAS Battalion Sports Editor When the East-West All-Star football game is played h riday in Childress, here’s hoping that it will produce a bet ter battle than that exhibited by the North and South All- Star gridsters in Austin last weekend. The Capitol City game was one of the slowest and most one-sided affairs that we have ever witnessed. The South’s 25-0 vic tory was a big surprise to the football fans who had expected a rather close game. The South’s backfield, which was paced by Roy Pace of Temple, completely over ran the highly publicized North line that averaged 202 pounds. The one sidedness can best be revealed with a glance at the total yardage gained by each team rushing —61 yards for the losers and 412 for the South. In more ways than one the situation was humorous, es pecially after the way the South gridsters had acted in the afternoon skull practice at Memorial Stadium, four hours before game time.

Chadwick, France Try Channel Swim Cap Gris Nez, France, Tuesday, Aug. 9—(TP)—Florence Chadwick of San Diego, Calif., and Shirley May France of Somerset, Mass., plunged into the cold treacherous waters of the English Channel early yesterday in attempts to swim to England. The two American girls took off within 19 minutes of each other Miss Chadwick entered the water at 2:37 a. m. (7:37 p. m. Monday CST), and Shirley May swam off at 2:56 a. m. The distance across the channel is about 19 miles. However tides and currents force swimmers to cover a considerable greater dis tance. Miss Chadwick, 31, and Miss France, 17, were the first girls to have a try at the channel this year. They got off so nearly together that their attempt had the aspect of an all-American girl race across the channel. Miss Charwick was still in sight of shore when Shirley May entered the water. Shirley May had to wait on the beach for nearly three quar ters of an hour because of a mix- up in arrangements for her escort boat. She shivered and complained of the cold as her party scanned ’ the dark waters for the escort, craft expected from the Dover side.
