Conn., Nov. 9— (UP)— today faced the prospects of a trying football test against Princeton minus the services of Bruce Caldwell, backfield star. Declared ineligible practically on I the eve of the game which promised to mark the climax of his brilliant gridiron career. Caldwell had disappeared early today, while his coach, his team-mates and his colleged rallied to the one idea: “Beat Princeton!” Sympathy for the crack half back who was found ineligible because he was shown to have played two games of football, while a freshman at Brown four years ago, was mingled with determination to defeat the Tigers Saturday regardless of the loss of Caldwell. Princeton, N. J.. Nov. 9. —(UP) — Princeton regrets that Bruce Caldwell may not play in Saturday’s game, but congratulates the Yale authorities upon their prompt action. This was the word from athletic officials at Princeton today, when informed of the Eli star’s Ineligibility. Evanston, 111.- —North western’s hope for victory against Indiana Saturday have been considerably' brightened by the return to the lineup of Tiny Lewis, backfield star- Five of the regulars, however, are still on the 1 disabled list. Ann Arbor, Mich’— Hampered by co’d weather, the Michigan football squad is undergoing special practice, in offensive formations, designed for used against Wisconsin are occupied The regulars were to be used on the defensive against Navy plays today. Madson. Wis. — Defense against lowa passes has been stressed in the Wisconsin football camp this week? Coach Glenn Thistlethwaite also plans to map a new offensive for his team to use against the Hawkeyes. lowa City, la. —Coach Burt Ingwersen continues to experiment with his line but so far has made no definite changes. Defensive measures to be used against Wisconsin ave occupied most of the Hawkeyes’ time this week

Out in South Bend the other day mot a droll, laughing, lazyttdded younj ster who was known by the name u ‘Sleepy” Crowley. So pleasant and so mild, withal, wer the manners of this slender youni man. that it required a second look ti .realize that he was indeed the might; "Sleepy" Crowley of “Four Horsemen fame. There is little suggestion of tha thundeibolt speed and strength whicl swept the defense of Notre Dame': opponents in the victorious year. A !.'. 1924, about Jim Crowley in hi: stieet clothes. He seems light, to havt been the terrot of Rockne's greatesl backfield, but if you happen to recall when "Sleepy" took ’ent out of plaj in those daj;s, they stayed out. "Sleepy" Crowley was in South Bend to scout Georgia Tech for Georgia. He is backfield coach at the latter school, and drilled the team which romped to victory over Yale last month. At the time, Georgia’s victory over the Bulldog did not seem particularly sin prising, nor yet impressive. Yale was written down as mediocre and little was thought of the Southerners' victoiy. Now, with old Eli standing out as the best football team in the entire East, Georgia’s success takes on a new significance. Crowley says Georgia has "a right good ball club." It is collegiate, at the moment, to refer to a football team as "a club" or "a ball club." "Sleepy' watched Tech taking a licking at the hands of Notre Dame and left with the prediction that Georgia will heat its Southern Conference rivals in the big game oh December 3. Georgia Tech went to South Rend

0. H. S. GYM IS BEING CHANGED Seating Arrangement And Goals Being Changed; Balcony Being Planned Work of i emodeling the interior of the Decatur high school gymnasium started this morning. The work is to be completed before the opening game of the season, on November IS. The seats at the east end of the florr which have been occupied by the high school rooting section, are being torn out. The goal at the west end of the floor will be moved ont seven feet from the wall, giving charging space for the players, as required by the basketball rules. This will permit the players, to run under the basket when shorting without danger of colliding with the wall. Seats will be placed at each end of the floor except under the baskets. The seats will be stationary, like the ones already in the biulding and the lumber in the seats being torn out will be used in building the new seats. The rearrangement is expected to increase the seating capacity of the gymnasium slightly, also. The school board did not let a contract for the work, but hired W. E. Moon, local contractor, to make the < hange. The high school athletic association will pay for the cost of the change. A'littie later in the season, a balcony will be built on the south side of the 1 gymnasium, just like the one now on the north side it was stated today. This will add approximately 150 seats to the gymnasium, and will give the hall i a total seating capacity of about 1,300. o — — Lafayette, Ind. —Only three members of the Purdue team are now on the hospital list —Hutton and Dreyer, ends and Grecus, guard.

Crowley had less to say, but .. he admitted that McCreary, his fullback, was just about the best in moleB skins today. .1 .! The non-sconting sentiment of the | East has not affected Southern and g Mid-Western football to any appreci- ? able extent. In South Bend for the . Georgia Tech game were Southern 1 coaches watching the “Tornado,” army , I officers spying upon the "Irish," Min- i t nesota g.ads looking over Rockne's attack. ,' But none of them need think Knute r Rockne minds. The day before the Georgia Tech- 1 . N tre Dame game, I attended secret . I practice and saw Rockne's second , team run off the visitors' trick plays . against the Irish first team, run them . off mere smoothly than did the Southerners themselves on Saturday, and d gain mote yards by the use of them!

SEVEN TEAMS TO PLAY THIS WEEK i AH Adams County Teams But Decatur And Monmouth To See Action Seven of the nine high school basketball teams in Adams county will be seen in action this week-end. This week’s contests will be the first c f the season for the Decatur Catholic high Commodores. The games for Friday night are: Geneva at Decatur Catholic; Hartford at Berne; Monroe at Monroeville; and Jefferson vs. Bryant at Berne. On Saturday night. Kirkland will entertain Rock Creek in the Kirkland gym. ( There is considerable interest <’tnong Decatur fans in the Commo- , dores-Geneva battle here, as it will give the first intimation of the strength of the 1927-28 Commodores. Geneva has played two games, but the Cardinals are greatly handicapped by lack of practice facilities. | The Hartford-Berne game promises to be a thriller. Hartford has won 1 two games and lost one so far this 1 season, while the Berne quintet has won both of its games by lop-sided ' scores- Hartford has defeated the strong Rock Creek team, of Wells county, and the Kirkland Kangaroos, ’ and lost to the Petroleum Zippers. Berne has defeated Jefferson and Geneva. Rivalry between Berne and ’ Hartford is strong and the gym at 1 Berne is expected to be packed for ’ the game Friday night. > | Monroe, aftef dropping its first 1 game to Palingtown last Saturday ■ night, hopes to do better against MonI roevilfe next Friday night. The Mon- - roe team is small, but showsspromlse > of developing into a speedy outfit. Jefferson has a good chance to • break into the win column in the 1 game with Bryant Friday night, although very little is known of the s strength of the Bryant crew. 51 Kirkland will have a battle with the Rock Creek team Saturday night. ; Hartford defeated Rock £reek by a e twojpoint margin and handed .Klrki land a defeat by the same number of | points, indicating that the Kirkland y,and Rock Creek quintets are pretty 1, 1 evenly matched.

He is rushed and has to get rid of the ball too hurriedly to pass accurately. Furthermore, their pass plays lack the necessary deception. Cast your eyes over the Dartmouth pass as diagrammed and you will see a pass that is well protected and has tremendous deception The run threat is to the right. The pass thieat is to the right. Yet the pass is thrown to the left, it has scored a touchdown or two. but has not been used much to date. Hawlcv has it all ready for this week though as he wants to offset Cornell's win of last year. < Note how the guards. Nos. 2 and 3. come otit front the line to p"f>tect the passer.

may not be' in tip top shape for the Kirkland battle. - The Decatur high Yellow Jackets are getting down to real work in preparation for their first game of the reason with the Kirkland Kangaroos here on Friday night. Nov. IS- The Monmouth team will open the season on the same night, playing Jefferson. Chicago—Captain Ken Rouse, hurt in last Saturday s game may be back in the Chicago lineup against Illinois Saturday. Coach Stagg is spending most of his time on offensive practice. Columbus, O. —Coach Doc Wilce was allowing his regulars to rest practically all this week, evidently figuring the game with Dennison Saturday will demand little of their services. SubstJtJifcvs a.re expected to participate m the greater portion of the game. Champaign. 111. — Bob Zuppke’s “Fightin’ Illini” team was given several hours strenuous scrimmage yesterday. Zuppke has had his championsip hopes upset by Chicago before and while he expects to win he is doing all jossib e to prevent his team from becoming overconfident. QUICK RELIEF FHOM CONSTIPATION 1 That is the joyful cry of thousands since Dr. Edwards produced Olive Tablets, the substitute for calomel. Dr. Edwards, a practicing physician for 20 years and calomel s old-time enemy, discovered the formula for Oliva Tablets while treating patients for chronic constipation and torpid livers. Olive Tablets do not contain calomel, just a healing, soothing vegetable laxative mixed with olive oil. No griping is the “keynote” of these little sugar-coated, olive-colored tablets. They cause the bowels and liver to act normally. They never force them to unnatural action. If you have a “dark brown mouth”— bad breath—a dull, tired feeling—sick headache —torpid liver—constipation, you’ll find quick, sure and pleasant results from one or two of Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets at bedtime. Thousands take them every night to keep right. Try them. 15c, 30c nOc. SPECIAL H THURSDAY NOON < IK Baked Chicken Dinner I 25c. I i ■ 808 INSLEY’S ■ RESTAURANT I Liberty Way.
