WATER SPORTS SAFER
FOR RED CROSS WORE
Expert Life-Savers and Many
Thousand Swimmers Reduce
Annual Water Toll.
Water... sports in the United States
have never been so safe as they are
today, a survey of the work done by
Dife-Saving experts of the American
Iged Cross in the past year indicates.
Thousands of adults and young peo-
ple were„taught to swim proficiently
by these experts during this period.
In addition, 5,681 men, 4,187 women,
and 13,024 juniors successfully passed
the rigid tests of the Dife Saving Ser-
vice of the Red Cross. The total thus
trained during the year—22,892—is
5,041 more than last year’s results.
The total membership of the Life Sav-
ing Corps of the Red Cross on June
30 was 72,810 persons.
Meeting the demand for qualified
instructors and councillors in these
camps, are the college men and women
of the country, many devoting whole
or part of their annual vacation peri-
ods to’this field. Meeting the need
of standardized instruction in Dife-
Saving, First-Aid, and kindred sub-
jects, the American Red Cross con-
ducted nine First-Aid and Dife-Saving
Camp Institutes this year with a total
attendance of more than 600, in Maine,
Massachusetts, New York, North Car-
olina, Indiana, Wisconsin, Oregon, and
California. Representatives of Red
Cross Chapters, summer camps, life
guards at municipal pools and beach-
es, directors of physical education in
schools, and others of this calibre
made up the student, body, a
A number of city or regional insti-
tutions were conducted also during
the winter at indoor pools to develop
local experts. The aquatic school con-
ducted by the New York Chapter was
especially successful, it is stated. In-
spired by this system, many camps,
pools, bathing beaches, etc., have
adopted in whole or in part, the Red
Cross Dife Saving and water-safety
program. In the New England states
alone, more than 180 camps employ
councillors trained in these methods.
A partial survey indicates more than
80 cities using the Red Cross senior
test as a minimum requirement for
their municipal life guards. Educa-
tional institutions have turned to it
with enthusiasm.
This widespread instruction be-
sides creating unprecedented numbers
of expert life-savers, is developing a
vast body of Americans who are at
home in the water. All contributes
to safety the year-round, for swim-
rating is a recognized all-year sport
today, records show.
The danger from water accidents
is ever-present however where proper
safeguards are not taken and to
I broaden this valuable Red Cross Ser-
| vice is one of the reasons why in
of creased membership in the Red Cross
is urged. The Annual Roll Call, dur-
ing which the opportunity to: assist
all Red Cross work in many lines of
endeavor is extended, will be held
from Armistice Day to Thanksgiving,
November 11-26.
Large Volunteer Work of Red Cross
Volunteers under the Red Cross all
over the United States are doing con-
stantly for others, among their prod-
ucts ‘being more than 90 per cent of
the Braille reading matter for the
blind, and a vast production of cloth-
lag and surgical dressings.
HEAVY ODESSA HIGH TAKES
FOOTBALL GAME FROM LOCALS
Last Saturday, on Jackson Field,
the high school elevens of Odessa
and Alpine played for the champion-
ship of this district. At the end of
the first half the Odessa huskies led •
13 to 0. But when the last whistle
sounded, the Black and Gold had
amassed a grand total of 46 points.
The Alpine eleven was outplayed,
and out-generaled from whistle to
whistle—Alpine’s light and inexpe-
rienced line was no match for the
big and well developed line of the
invaders. The Black and Gold speedy
backfield under the direction of a
head field general, ripped off first
downs at will. The Odessa quarter
back handled his team in great style.
Odessa scored in each quarter of
the first half. They brought the bal:
from their own 8-yard line for the
first counter by straight football. In
the second quarter the touchdown
could have been averted, but the
Buck general tried to punt from, be-
hind his own goal line, instead of
permitting himself to be tackled.
The puntw as poor, and went out of
bounds on the 8-yard line. Then
the second Odessa counter was
smashed over.
Alpine started well at the begin-
ning of the second half, but two
costly fumbles cost them as many
touchdowns when the invaders pick-
ed them up and scored. Creamer, the
fleet Buck half, was racing off the
longest gain of the afternoon when
he was tackled by 3 or * of the
opposition. An Odessa back came
out of the heap with the ball and
scored. These two upsets completely
broke the defense of the fighting
Bucks, and then Odessa flashed a
passing andr unning attack that
Alpine could not fathom, and the
Black and Gold scored almost at

Allen, Carter and Moore were Al-
pine’s best on the defense. Vetchie
Young, playing safety, tackled a.
Odessa ball carrier close to the goal
line and suffered a broken collar
bone. He had to be removed. This
weakened the Alpine defense in the
line as Moore had to be called, to the
hackfield from his tackle position.
The Bucks could never get their
offense under way, for almost every
play fas smothered. Creamer, Al-
len, and Carter would get away,, by
sheer speed or luck for short gains,
only to be stopped by three or four
of the opposition.
The game ended with Odessa still
going strong, and the Bucks fight-
ing hard.
