I of the moat powerful In the east in winning from the Navy, but as long as 1 West Point goes on to victories with players who have been playing for five, six, seven und as many as eight years, it is not fair to consider the i cadets for championships. Cornell has another game remain ■ 1 tng to be played with Pennsylvania. , und it may be u tough one. but Aven i if Cornell finishes the season without' a defeat, the easy schedule which the big red team had will prevent it from getting serious consideration.

administered to the Washington and Jefferson eleven by Detroit. The narrow escape Lafayette had in beating Lehigh only 3 to 0 was another jolt. Because most of the experts figured Yale to be the favorite, the vic- | tory of Harvard in the last of the big I three games might be considered a I surprise. Yale’s only hope for victory rested in playing a different game i than the Elis had played all season and they didn’t do it. Yale had the material and perhaps the coaching, but Yale didn’t have football brains. In beating Stanford, 28 to 0, the great California eleven was able to retain its position us the best scoring machine among the major teams. The Bears have piled up a total of 398 points. Leading the east and second on the national list Is Cornell with 330 points. Auburn has the lead in the south with 277 and lowa was the best in the midwest with 208. Michigan and Notre Dame had the best defense in the country. Each had only thirteen points scored against them. Notre Dame, however, had her goal line crossed once while the Michigan line was twice crossed. DePauw scored one touch down on Notre Dame, while Georgia Tech and Butler scored a field goal each. Both Wisconsin and Minnesota scored touchdowns on Michigan and Minne sota added the point after touchdown. Brunner, Lafayette back, was the best individual scorer among the maI jor elevens, with 86 points; Wilson, of Penn State, and Robertson, of Carnegie Tech, scored 73; Pfann, of Cor(:iell. had 65, and Palm, of Penn State, 59 points. OBITUARY Samuel B. Nelsons, son of Edward and Catherine Nelson, waes born near Geneva, Adams county, Ind., January 30, 1862. He was the twelfth of a family of fourteen children, only three of whom survive,—viz: Chas. H. Nelson of Scotts, Mich.; James E. Nelson, of Lima. Ohio, and Isaac Nel son, of Decatur, Ind. With the exception of about sh years, Mr. Nelson spent his life in Adams county. He was united in marriage with Miss Elizabeth Strait on Dec. 28, 1889. To this union were born two children. Mrs. L. F. Davis, of Hamilton, Ohio, and Mrs. Stanley Hornback, of Dayton, Ohio, both cf whom survive. He was converted in the Methodist church at Monroe, in 1897, under the labors of Rev. N. P. Barton. Since that tyne Mr. Nelson lyas # lived a life of tr..st in God. Dn fifing 'ttic days of his long protracted affliction, he frequently expressed a desire to be relieved from suffering, testifying that he was ready to depart, yet waiting patiently the Lord’s time. As a neighbor and citizen he was unexcelled. He lived peaceably with his neighbors wherever he lived and everybody who knew’ him learned to love him. Besides raising his own children, he did much for other needy and homeless children. John E. Nelson and C. I. Aurand, of enroe, Ind., Mrs. Wm. Beavers, of Casey, Hl.; and Mr. Che!cie Strait of Middletown, Ohio, are foster children who look to him as to a father. He passed away at the home of his daughter, rs. Davis at Hamilton, Ohio, Nov. 22, 1922, aged sixty years, nine months, and twenty-three days. His wife having preceded him an even four years ago. He leaves to mourn, two daughters, four grandchildren, four foster children, three brothers and a large circle of friends. The funeral was conducted at the E. church, Monroe, Ind., Friday. November 24, 1922, by the pastor, Rev. S. I. Zcchiel. Interment in the Ray cemetery. From some unknown author we quote: 1 know not what the future hath Os marvel of surprise, Assured alone that life and. death Hit; mercy underlies. I know not where His islands lift Their branded palms in air; Icnly know I can not drift Beyond His line and care. And so beside the silent sea I wait the muffled oar; No harm from him can come to me On ocean and on shore. oTown Df Monroe Threatened By Fire Yesterday (Continued from Page One) automobile, but the other car and motorcycle which belonged to Howard , | Hendricks, a son, were not insured J i The loss will amount to about ■ $2,700. The report was circulated. In Decatur that the ■ town di Monroe was being destroyed by fire 1 and a large crowd of people went to the scene of the condagration. Mr. Hendricks said today that he believed the fire was started by a short circuit in his automobile. About twenty-five bushels of corn and oats, used as chicken feed, were consumed !in the fire also.

PRAISES LOCAL f ALARM SYSTEM !■ Writer In Issue Os Fire Protection Lauds Decatur Fire Alarm System The current issue of "Fire Pro- ' tection,’ official organ of the Fire Marshals’ Association of North Ameri lea, in an article entitled “Handling ( , Telephone Fire Alarms,” by Leonard G. Brandt, of The Fort Wayne JourI nal Gazette, describing various methods iu communities in handling telephone fire alarms, pays a tribute to ' the system which has recently been put in operation at the Decatur telephone office. In this system, the operators at the exchange take full charge of in-’ I formation regarding fires and allow no information of any kind to be giv-| rn out to any person other than city hirauien for a period of five minutes | after the alarm is turned in. By tliis ' system it lias been possible to organ-, I ize phone facilities in such away that | the congestion of the phone service is 1 practically done away with, and, at | the same time, information concern-. ling the fire may be given out to per- 1 Isons who must have that information 1 for the benefit of the fire service. o WASHINGTON MAY BE FIRST TO WIPE OUT TUBERCULOSIS Washington is expected to be the first of the 48 states to make definite plans to wipe out all bovine tuberculosis within its borders. In 20 of the , 29 counties area eradication work has already been conducted in cooperation i I v, Ith the United States Department of' i ! Agriculture and the State veterinarian I have planned a State-wide program | that will be presented to the legislature in January. The governor is un-1 dorstood to be in favor of the plan, ' and there is every reason to believe ! that sufficient money will be appro- ■ printed so that with the cooperation of the department on the present basis all the cattle in the State can | ibe tested within a reasonable time, I I probably two years. The light infection of the cattle ' ! herds in the State and the fact that j ' most of the cattle already have been ■ tested make the outlook particularly I promising- An indication of the low i *porcentlgi cf tuberculosis was found ! |in Spokane County this summer. The, . veterinarian in charge tested 4691 j herds, containing 2,754 animals, and | condemned only 4. Ninety-five per cent of the pur-bred herds in Washington are already under supervision. j .
