| Texas, and were for a time located
at Austin. He, himself, has been
a resident of Fife for the past 52
years, altho he first came to the
McCulloch ection 56 years ago,
with a bunch of sheep.
Christmas he promised some ap-
ples or candy to the little folks,
but jokingly specified that each
must give him a kiss in return for
, the favor. A tiny little tot forth-
with marched up to him, exclaim-
ing, “I want to kiss you!”
There is, however, one matter in
j which Mr. Finlay betrays his
Scotch ancestry, and that is he is
anything but a prodigal when it
| comes to spending money with doc-
I tors, or upon medicines. In spite
of his having passed the biblical
allotment of three score years and
| ten by nearly two decades, he is
| robust, active and in good health.
He recalls that it has been 87 years
since he spent as much as two days
in bed because of illness.
Mr. Finlay did not name Fife;
rather it was so designated by his
mother, who was born in Fifeshire,
Scotland, and who named the com-
munity after her native county.
His longevity is evidently heredi-
tary, since his mother lived to the
remarkable age of 89 years, 4
months and 5 days. She died in
1893, and was buried in Waldrip
Cemetery, since Fife at that time
had not yet established a burial
grounds. His father died earlier
in life, while his wife succumbed in
1921.

James and Alec of Fife, and Mrs.
W. L. Isaacs of Eldorado, were

When it cames to rooting lusti-
ly at the big meets, the “old grad”
can hold his own with the noisiest
youngsters on the campus. He's
equally efficient at swapping yarns
with cronies about the time when
he was stroke of the crew, made
the high hurdles in record-break-
ing time, or light-tackled the foot-
ball team to victory. But when he
tries to rival the current product
as an Apollo, he’s not so good.
Fact is, the athletic star who keeps
in physical trim ten years after
graduation, is a rarity. Week-end
golf and the daily dozen notwith-
standing business and professional
men do not get fat.
Just what happens when “old-
timers” don shorts and sweaters
and try to show off, is amusingly
illustrated in “Sweetheart of Sig-
ma Chi,” Monogram’s musical fea-
ture, which comes to the Lyric
Theatre today. Eight alumni, who
had stroked to victory in the crew
of '03, taken their places in the
boat to show the younger element
some “real form." But too much
avoirdupoise is their undoing. The
shell sinks first to the gunwales,
and is finally submerged, leaving
the ambitious oarsmen struggling
and gasping in the water.
