Papa-President Calles resisted tears, supplications. Senorita Natalia Calles was united in wedlock exclusively by the Mexican civil power. Then, on separate trains, the bride and bridegroom sped to San Antonio, Tex.

The Crimson's giant speedster will start with Russell, the Cornell star, McAllister and Charles in the 60 yard race. Leon Murchison, Frank Hussey, Jackson Schoiz, and Ernest Morrill will leave the marks in the second heat...
