The Fourth Down By Willie Punt Although the- weather man appeared on the scene last night and today with a generous supply of moisture the spirit of the Yellow Jackets and local fans is not dampened one mite. Everybody is saying, "we're going to beat Peru.” That is what everybody aid on the campus at the University of Nebraska all lust week and —well you all know what happened in Lincoln on Saturday. The Norte Dam • players do, too. i ’ Although only a small squad was out for practice yesterday evening, everybody was working hard. One thing which has been sadly la< I - ing here all season is the absence of . fans on the sidelines at the practice . sessions. Interest shown by the fans during the week helps on the day of the game. • The Portland-Fort Wayne Central game has been moved to Fort Wayne, owing to a counter attraction at Por’.- , land. Reports from Bloomington are th it Navy Bill Ingram is pointing his . Crimson team for the game with Perdue a week from Saturday. The Crimson play Wabash Saturday, and naturally would like to win, but win or lose, they expect to pijt their main efforts into the Purdue game. Several Purdue c ripples are return- , ng to the fold, it is said and Ci Boilermakers will be in fair shape for 'lie Northewestern game Saturday. Dope favors the Purple to win front the Boilermakers. Basketball dopsters are rushing the season by beginning to pick the state i champs and all-state teams. Be pa- ■ (lent, boys, be patient. Football isn’t I lead yet. ' If this rain continues tile U'llow Jackets may be r ’ christened “mud ’ daubers” in the game at Peru Satti! • day. • Coach Howard had Milt Swearin; 'T 1 Yellow Jacket quarterback deluxe, arrying the ball himself in practice yesterday evening. Milt seldom elects to carry the ball himself in a 1 game, but he is right there on run- ' ning interference for the man who is 1 carryin gthe ball. —o LEADERS WIN i Coat ir.'ic'd from Page One I Tuesday night.

About two weeks ago when Mrs. Vernon McGonagle received a full settlement on a Lincoln Life policy, the agent O. F. Gillion who macle set- , tlement and took up the policy, noticed a total disability clause in the policy just before returning it to the company for cancellation, which j neither the insured or the bcnficiary • knew about. | The company was accordingly in- : formed and as an evidence of the' fairness of the company to its policy- ' holders and the service that they alI ways wish to extend, Mrs. McGongl'' was happily surprised today bj re ■ ceiving an additional chi -.!; of $152.50 ' as a refund of five annual premiums cm the policy, which represented the | time when Mr. McGongle was actually disabled. o Railroad Men To Ta’k To Rotarians This Evening I Frank E.
