I The Fourth Down I By I Wi|lie Punt ■ ■ — The Yellow Jackets went through a bighty hard practice session yeaterL, evening hi preparation for the Van L’ert game. Coach Howard is deterU ni >d that they must win that conLt and spoil the Buckeyes’ perfect creentagc. The boys had their pictures tuk, too. The hig noise created by tho vic>ry of the Decatur Leaders over 'the luffton Phi Delts here Tuesday night thoes back from Bluffton through utta's column as follows: •'The Decatur Leaders handed the hi Delts a clean -cut drubbing last v< n ink and t\e have no alibis to of>r. The Phi Delts were given splenid treatment by both the officials and n crowd. The game was well worth icing and we hope the next game etween the two clubs, which will be Javed in this city next week, will *e equally as good a contest.” ’ Tip Offs, however, looked around iligently for some alibis. He almost joked in vain though, and had to conli t. himself with the flimsy excuse, the jinx pursued us.” He also said he "low” ceiling beams spoiled “sevr; I” Bluffton shot at the basket. He j toutly maintained that the playing of > he'Phi Delts was on a par with that f the Leaders. It probably was in tic first half. Tippy, but surely not in hat second half slaughter. ‘‘Although Decatur put up a poorame of football against Peru last. aturday, Willie Punt calmly an- ! ounces that his squad was outplayed.! hat is what is known as good sports- i Kinship although it doe? cost Decair the conference title and cup.”— toss Hurd, in Huntington Press. Van Wert is getting real cocky over leir football team, and they will be isappointed if the Yellow Jackets □n’t come home Saturday night with io short end of a score at least as ad as 50-0. Van Wert has scored 222 points durig the season and has had 28 points i 1 cored against them. They predict N lat they will make only enoughj l oints in the first half to stay ahead < nd then smash the line the second I alf so rapidly that the Yellow Jackets i on't get lined up in time to stop the 1 ! lays. Now won’t that be nice. ~ : i; One School Where The -Pupils Are On Time (United Press Staff Correspondent) Lincoln, Nebr., Nov. 22 —A univer- ' iity where tin students are always 1 >n time is conducted here. The uni-| fersity is held in the State Peniten-[' (iary and is called the “University of j Lancaster” by the grayclad students.! The school was started inside prison walls a few years ago as a part of the' plan to attempt a cure for crime by, Intensive education. On the faculty. Bf the school are the names of three bne-time bankers, one butcher, one’ Hectrician, one mechanic and a man who was a minister. James O’Conness, secretary of the prison, serves as chancellor. This year the school is attended by , 135 prisoners, The work consists of English, literature, bookkeeping,' grade school, work up to tne eighth grade, Spanish and Bible. The most I popular course at the school is Spanish, O’Connell said. Most of the men! serving sentences look forward to the time when they can go to South, America and live down their past., Where once prisoners sought to cross the Atlantic and start in this country, l tin? reverse is now true, O'Connell stated. School hours are from 6 p. m. to 7:30 p. m. each week night and the monotony of prison life is broken by the showing of educational films once, each week. Twelve prisoners are learning to read and write —men who, before entering the school were tin-1 able to read a newspaper or write , their names. AU students at the school are men serving comparatively short sentences. Life prisoners show little interest in education, O’Connell said. “We want to make real Americans out of these men,” O’Connell said. “Most of them are all right at heart. They just nbed a chance.” o grid season nears end. Grand Finale On Program For Saturday; Old Rivals To Meet Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 22. Th ■ • grand finale of the state college too'ball season is on the sport program

■ | old rivals meet—when a smashing vicjtory over a traditional foe can wipe I out a whole season of defeats as far l nR the students of the various Inst Un tlons are concerned. Purdue will go to Bloomington in Its annual struggle with I. 11. It Jis home-coming day nt Indiana ami | the contest promises to be M?ird fought J There was a time when Purdue was thought to be far superior to the Crim, son. but as the season has advanced opinion has changed until Mime think that the game is an “even Stephen" affair. Coach Ingram, of I. IT., will bend every effort toward winning as the team has had far from a successful season. The Old DePauw and Wabash feud be renewed at Crawfordsville. Wabash because of the loss of several players has not been as strong as usual but the same old fight is there. No team in the state tackles harder. The little giants have been crippled for some time. Gipson and Sherman are reported out for the season. DePauw has a powerful line, a plunging back in Burton and a theater in Krumbeuer. They are ex ceptionally strong in spite of the defeat at the hands of Butler. In the Butler game the Methodists ripped throught only to hesitate at critical moments and lose their advantage On paper, DePauw seems to have the edge on Wabash. On the gridiron it is a difficult matter to decide. Franklin goes to Richmond for its yearling contest with the Earlham eleven. There is not much doubt. 1 Franklin by its record shows much ! stronger than the Quakers. But no one ever knows what will happen in one of these scraps. Rose Poly and state Normal will stage civil warfare in Terre Haute. The normal teachers are new at the game so the Engineers must be givI on the edge. | In other games in which rivalry j is not so intense Butler takes on th-? iHaskell Indians, Noire Duma is at Carnegie Teeh, Pittsburgh, in no easy' fray; and Georgetown. Ky. college it at Hanover. — • HOTELS ARE CLOSING — Berlin Hotels Unable to Survive High Prices And Fall of Mark — Berlin, Nov. 22. —The fight of the foreigner, unbearable taxation, in-i 'crease in. prices, inability to light and heat their rooms and the general chaotic conditions resulting from the fall of the mark and the business upbreak in Germany have just about ruined the hotel and restaurant business here. j Two of the biggest hotels in Berlin the Excelsior, whic h is the largest hotel on the continent, and Hugo Stinness’ Hotel Esplanade, will be turned into office buildings. Office rooms are at a premium. Most cases are now dimly lighted and lack heat entirely. Menu cards are not printed any more—memeographed substitutes serving. | It is estimated that already 30 per I cent of the hotel beds are unti ■<■<’. and 'many hotels use only the two lower I floors of their establishments —saving light, heat and floor employes. I Already two big breweries have closed and others have given their employes notice. The hotel and restaur-s ' ant owners demand reduced taxation ' on liquors and lengthened police hours .The Government attitude that "he who drinks in these trying times must pay the price” is criticized as lacking any I consideration for the fact that a [•'blooming’ ’industry is being driven into bankruptcy. —• NEW LYNCHING BILL. Congressman Dyer Has New Measure Aimed At Lynchings St. Louis. Mo., Nov. 22. —A national I law to penalize the county in which a (lynching occurs, if the local authorities fad to punish the lynchers, will be proposed in a bill introduced at the session of Congress starting in Deember by Congressman L. C. Dyer. The bill Is q revision of Dyer's nr '. sure introduce!), tit the last s isslon. Il I will provide that a federal grand jet > I be called when county officials fail to isecure results in punishment of lynebJing, and for a SIO,OOO fine against a I county which is found derelict of its duty. I Congressman Dyer announced hit new bill at. a debate with Congressman Harry B. Hawes on the question of whether lynching should be made a federal offense, Dyer taking affirm- . ative. Dyer dedaroif that 4,382 lynchlnes had occurred in the United States In the last 37 years, of which >2O victims were white persons and 107 ne- - g) -o women. In all the investigations not a single case had been found "> 'which the lynchers were convicted and ‘ punished, lie dedal ed. Hawes said the bill Dyer proposed i was unconstitutional because through i

n [it tho federal government would usurp ■ local police power. He pointed out .. that South Carollun's state law pror tiding penalties against counties In , which lynchings occur had never iv > n enforced. Dyer replied that he believed hl" » bill constitutional, and that former A' I torney Generals Wickershatn and I’.il t mer had expressed a favorite opinion s of It. "The United States supreme court I had handled down decisions holding < that the failure of states to protect - citizens is a denial of equal rights I ■ provided by law.” , Dyer’s bill is based on the Four- . teenth Amendment, he said. • ——- ■ 1 , — i Yale Hopes To Swamp Harvard Saturday i (By Henry L. Farrell) (U. P. Staff Correspondent) New York, Nov. 22. —Considering I that in 16 years Yale has not scored , i a touchdown on Harvard's Held au'l > that in the same period Yale has l i scored only one touchdown against | ■ Harvard tiny place, it can be realized i with what hope for a feast Yale look ; • to the battle with Harvard next Sat- • urday in Cambridge. I Yale seems to have one of the Ims' I teams in its history. Certainly if ; is the best eleven that has represent-! ' ed Yale since Cupid Black's fine | i team of 1916. Harvard apparently has the worri i team of years and Harvard feels at i heart that the only chance for victory rests in the possibility that Yale will i j beat itself. Yale teams have done 1 such things in the past. o Watson Not Ready To Announce His Plans Indianapolis, Ind.. Nov. 22. —Senator James E. Watson will not make a definite decision as to whether he will enter the race for the. republican
