Some men refuse to be ruled out, regardless of what happens. Such a person Is "Bud" Spencer, Stanford's great 440-yard "Bud's" career reads like an Alger i it protraya the spirit of an indomitable will to win. CAME Spencer came from Ceres and attended Modesto high school, running hurdles under the appraising eye of "Jum" Morris, then track coach. Then In 1923 Spsn- cer entered Stanford; In the annual Stanford-California freshmen meet that season he walked away with the low and high hurdles, the quarter-mile and the finishing lap of the mile "relay.

He scored 16J4 points--was the star of the meet. And as he started home on that day--April 13, could not have been happier. FATE But fate was cruel. The automobile in which he was returning to Palo Alto skidded--overturned --darkness--oblivion. For three weeks he was near death.

Nagel, Minch and Brooks Survive In Golf Tourney SAN FRANCISCO, June Nagel, San Francisco; Frank Minch, Sacramento, and Artliur Brooks, San Jose, were tua only smvivors today of a group ot sis- teen professional. golfers playing Critics mournfully shook their heads over the tragic incident. "He's done," they said.

And so it appeared. TO STANFORD One year later he returned to Stanford; he was wearing a pair of glasses with one lens and shielded for his left eye-and reported to Coach "Dink" Templeton for the 1926 Cardinal track team. His first attempt to "come back" met with fair- success. He placed third in the meet with California. i the hurdles seemed too dangerous fcr the youth with defective vision so Templeton shifted him to the quarter-mile this year.

SUCCESS SENSATION His success has been a sensation. So sensational that he is hailed as the potential quarter- mile champion of the world. In his first meet he ran the 440 yards in 48 1-5 seconds, just 4-5 second over Ted Meridith's world mark established in 1916. Modesto and Stanislaus county have contributed many outstanding athletes to the big colleges but none has displayed the fortitude of being crushed by fate and then corning back. Truly Spencer is a MAN WHO REFUSED'TO BE RULED OUT.

Neither of the trio made an impressive showing and it possible that nbre. would go east.

It was Pyle who made professionals of Mile. Suzanne Lenglen, Miss Mary Browne, Vincent Richards and Howard Kinsey. The pioneer movement of Pyle in paying u'Ef tennis players in cash instead promises was laughed off by the United States Lawn Tennis Association with the satisfied insurance a his movement nevei could establish a permanent But the pioneer movement must have been a success to Pyle and his employes because he is still working at it: Pyle will tell 'you that his. purpose in life is not to promote sports for the sake "The dough is what counts," Pyle said today. "In three years from now If Charley Lindbergh went into a lunch 'wagon and ordered ham and eggs and told the waiter that he was a great filer, the waiter would ask him for seventy-five cents." Getting hack to 'the original point Pyle is going to promote a professional teuuis tournament in Tex "Rickard'E Garden--after the Davis cup matches have been finished and the amateur players will be forced to go hack to some accepted and recognized way of making a living.

"I am chiefly Interested in giving the public what it wants," Pylo said. "And I believe the matches I mentioned would be attractive to tho public.

"I am not saying understand me-well, that the amateurs mentioned have bten attracted by any sinister influence of mine, hut I do believe that public wHrt he interested in those matches and my business is io give the public- what it wants--if I can get what the public wants."

Figure it out and you'll find that Camel is made for the particular smoker whose taste, day by day, is more knowing of quality. Camels are rolled of the choicest Turkish and Domestic tobaccos grown. And what blending! Camel's smoothness and mellowness are qualities distinctive to this cigarette.

If you haven't yet tried them, you'll find all your smoking wishes come true in Camels. Mild, clear and smooth from morning to night. Always so satisfyingly good! Have a Camel!" 1927, R. J. Compiny, "Wini ten-Sal em, N.
