I hiked upon as tli<> “cellar champ'' of II • 5 the Bic> Ten. ) h • ' In six years Jimmy has made the Poi*ermaker institution a respected .’ one throughout the western confer- ’ ence. I Last year his team showed victories over Indiana and Chicago and a ' tie with Wisconsin. Besides this Pchlan's team held the strong Navy team to a four-point victory margi.i. The only Big Ten defeat was suffer;ed at the hands of Northwestern's I great team. Phelan has a number of holes to Illi in this year's line. Among the line-men who appear to be sure of .mad berths are Drayer and Olson, centers: Hu ton. Mackie, Stilwell, and Sindelar, ends; Galletch and Mackey, tackles; Eickman, Hook, and Prentice. guards. The backfield will probably be built around Chester ‘ Cotton" Wilcox, captain. s’ar halfback, and Purdue’s AllAmerican last year. Wil xh. borne the brunt of the Boilermaker offensive for the past J two years and. with improved supper ' ■ this season, should dose his football career in glorious fashion. II Other ba kfield men who are expected to show well are Guthrie, Leichtle, and Ramby. halfbacks; Kor- 1 ! aiisky, fullback; and Wilson and Speidd. quarterbacks. New backfield men who are looked upon as squadmakers are Harmeson. Welch, Carra-I way, and several others. i New linemen are Boots and Wat-

kins, guards; Sleight, Stears and Vrevlg. tackles, and Knop, center.

THREE IN JAIL IT SOUTH BENO Confession Wards Oft Plot To Murder Two Men At South Bend South Rend, Ind, Sept. I.—(V- P) In separate cells in the South Bend 'jail, three persons sat today, earl’ enshroud' d by the circumstances of what Alex Kovach told police was to have been a double murder for S6OO. It was a strange story that Kovach related—an amazing story of intrigue murder and money. The young Hungarian wasted -few words as he began his story to officers, “I was seeking employment in an office,” he said, “when James Gall approached me and offered me S6OO for two murders.” Questioning, police said, brought out* that Gall, who is said to have been the star boarder in the home of Mrs. Bernice Dienes, had plotted with Mrs. Dienes to murder her husband, Andrey Dienes, of Mishawaka, and John Koh ger, living with Dienes at Mishawaka. "Koleger was to bo killed because Mrs. Dienes did not like him,” Kovach explained. Kovach’s story resulted in arrest of the two alleged plotters. According to police, both admitted they, planned the crime. The motive, police said, was in“sc? IMPOSSIBLE!” It’s True, Nevertheless, That a Good Cigar is Being Sold at That Price. Skeptics Being Converted Daily No matter what you think of five-cent cigars in general, read the news about this one. A five-cent piece will decide ail arguments as I to whether a good cigar can be i made to sell at sc. One five-cent piece! Any smoking man can afford that much to get the low-down. Take your nickel to your favorite ! cigar counter and ask for Havana Ribbon. Judge it as you would a higher-priced cigar. See how it holds up in flavor, aroma, body, the satisfying quality of ripe tobacco. You’d never believe such a cigar could be made to sell at five cents. There are good reasons. Havana Ribbon sold at more for years. Smokers flocked to the cigar l>ecausy of its quality, not its cost. So we rut the price and improved the cigar. No wonder it sells by the million! w Don’t be afraid of Havana Ribbon because it costs so little. Try just one and you’re all set on this smoke fnr life.

siiranee amounting to $2.<»M w '" l h , Mrs. Dienes would receive and two smaller policies from which her two children would benefit. Mrs Dienes Mid she did not want) to go through with the two murders) . that Gall goaded her uiit.l she eonsenh’d. Mrn. Dienes and Gull are held on charges of conspiring to commit ti ! felony and Kovach as a material I witness. | Many a tnutt who gave ninrrlagej serious thought is still in the bachelor class.
