An assembly of the personal ata
tlstlca of the players of the United
States reveals that this belief Is not
founded upon fact.. Indeed, the con-,
trary Is true. The players of the pres
ent are taller, heavier and probably
equally as rugged aa the men of the
past. Tbls characteristic of men to
associate greater height and alze with
the representatives of the past ran
always prevailed.
Forty and more years ago we point
ed to Walter Hetielflnger of Yale,
Ix feet, two and one-half Inches and
weighing 210 pounds, as our repre
sentative giant, and down the years
Walter haa come aa theclasslo giant
of the sport.
This year there are more than 60
players taller and heavier than Walter
Heffelflnger. Any discussion of the
giants playing football this fall would
have to begin a full half-Inch above
the mark where Walter Heffelflnger
left off.
In short, Heffelflnger, mathemati
cally today, would not even be the
starting minimum, for there are more
than 100 players fully as tall and
heavy as he was.
Slx-Thrre lust a Start.
There are 35 playera on our rec
ords standing six feet, three Inches,
and probably half as many more not
discovered. Among these are eeveral
of national pre-eminence In their
play: Charles B. Bernard, center of
Michigan; Frank J. Butler, center of
Michigan State; Barton Cummlngs,
tackle of Illinois; John M. Hutchln-
TODAV
son, tackle of the Army; Eawara
Krause, tackle of Notre Dame; Ber
nard Masterson, halfback of Ne
braska; Wolter Mueller, end of Cali
fornia at Loa Angeles, and Peter 2a
remba, tackle of Hew York University
All of these men have been accorded
honorable mention In All-American
discussions.
Fourteen men have been found who
measure six feet, four Inches. Notsble
among these are Mat Brasnyo, tackle
of St. Mary's, and Peter Kopscss, enu
of the Army.
In the bracket marked six feet ana
five Inches we find nine players.
Standing forth among them for fame
and skill are "Ted" Rosequlat, tackle
of Ohio Stote, and Jack Torrance,
tackle of Louisiana, weighing 276
pounds and the largest man In all
footbsll.
Still They Come.
Now we move up another Inch to
the line labelled six feet and six
inches. Here we find two playera and,
curiously, upon .the same team, New
York University. These two men are
Jim Ruddy and Stephen Shields, both
tackles.
The cry Is "still they come." And
still we climb, on up to six feet, seven
Inches. Here we find the tallest
player In all football, Edward Meln
bower, tackle of the University of
North Dakota. He weighs 245 pounds
and Is every Inch a football man, fast,
lithe and athletic.
For those who long to be In the
society of glanta, I suggest they visit
our football fields any Saturday.

General Oscar Westover, assistant
chief of tha United States air corpa,
Washington, D. C, and Major Asa N.
Duncan, also of the chief of air
corps office In Washington, were via.
Itors In Med ford overnight, leaving
this morning in their plane r Port
land. They arrived at the local air
port Thursday afternoon about 8:30
o'clock, from Crtasey field.
A. H. Ban well, manager of the local
Chamber of Commerce, saw General
Westover walking down the street,
and recognised him as a previous vis
itor to Med ford with an army air
fleet. With Mr. Ban well, General
Westover and Major Duncan visited
the CCO district headquarter here.
The special session of the legisla
ture scheduled to meet next Monday,
after the opening speeches, and the
hearing of the Governor's message,
will start providing ways and means
for providing Jackson county wltn
two solons. This will be done by
Joint resolutions, to be Introduced.
The present plan Is to have the ap
pointments made the first order of
business and for the appointees to
get to Balem and the legislative halls
as soon as possible thereafter.
There are five vacancies In the
legislature due to death, appointment
to other positions, and In one Instance
an unfortunate circumstance. In
Clackamas county one of the solons Is
under a legal cloud. He wants to
serve anywtiy, on the grounds the
"Judgment has not been docketed."
The Joint resolution affecting
Jackson county will provide that the
governor make the appointments: the
other resolution will provide that the
county court do the Job In counties
that desire them made that way. The
Jackson county court feels that the
chief executive should make the se
lections, so that the political pot may
not boll over, by any chance.
Whoever makes the appointments,
and whoever are the appointees, no
body Is enough of an optimist to
Imagine they will please everybody.
Attorney Porter J, Neff, promt
nently mentioned as a Democratic
choice, has announced his Inability
to accept, due to several cases coming
up In the federal court, while the
legislature Is In session.
T. E, Daniels has been urged for
one of the poets, by both sides of
the political fence. So far Mr. Dan
iels will not hear to It.
In lieu of Daniels, one wing of the
local Democracy offers Attorney Frank
DeSouza. Attorney E. E. Kelly Is also
mentioned as an heir to the seat his
son left to hold a federal post In
Washington, D. C. J. P. Wortman,
farmer-banker, of Phoenix, Is also
mentioned.
Some Republican leaders argue that
because a Democrat was elected to
the legislature. Is no sign a Demo
crat has to be appointed to the va
cancy. The Republicans have not concen
trated on anybody, and the party
chiefs manifest no Interest in the
selection, save that he be steadfast in
the Republican faith.
The following have been mentioned:

Doris Eyre King, 16 Abbey Road
Oxford, England.
Laboratory tests show All-Bra
sontains two things which over
some constipation: "Bulk" to ex
ercise the intestines; vitamin B tc
help tone the intestinal tract.
The "bulk" In All-Beam is mucr
like that of leafy vegetables. In
side the body, it forms a soft mass
which gently clears the intestine:
of wastes.
Certainly this Is more nature

Honey Maid
Grahams are
recommended for children
School days are keen-appetite days for active little
bodies. And nothing ''hits the spot" like good
tasting Honey Maid Grahams. They help provide
energy for romping youngsters, elements and vitamins
for bone and tissue building. They are crisp and
crunchy, sweetened just enough with honey. You
always get Honey Maids fresh because they are baked
in our Pacific Coast bakeries, then wax-wrapped to
seal in the freshness. Save money get the larger
