Deceptive End Run Defeated Penn CAlirofirua'4/ A, Fihfc-t / > 6C<?«4 / A. OF il 'J f • J / i.l Itsfjpr- tl _ By SOL METZGER California rooters are keyed to a high pitch over the impending football campaign because, in the post season game with Penn last winter, “Nibs’’ Price’s system began to get results. Penn, then at the top of its form, fell to the tune of 27 to 13 before the "Golden Bears." although a favorite up to game time. Price, who coaches both football and basketball and was an assistant to the late Andy Smith in the latter sport when Smith developed some of the greatest the Pacific Coast ever saw, has ideas of his own. He believes in running plays, passes and punts from much the same formation. One end run that paved the way for his eleven's first score on Penn is here pictured. The fullback. No. 1, breaks toward center and takes a direct pass from the snapper back. This forward bluff gives the two guards. No. 6 and 7. time to lead in the interference. It also tends to hold the defensive backs in position behind their line. No. 1, then swerves to the right hack of five interferers. Nos. 3 and 4 take the defensive left end oct. No. 6 helps the right end. No. 5, with the defensive tackle. Back No. 2 and guard No. 7 lead the runner. Price's teams are sound in blocking. That is the man reason why the forward pass that gained the first score on Penn, a play that closely resembles the run shown here, went so successfully. It will be shown tomorrow.

Do you realize that the football season opens in Decatur next Saturday* Sa fact. Auburn plays the Yellow Jackets here Saturday afternoon. So beginnith the sixth annual edition of "The Fourth Down.” Please bear I with us. Due to pressing duties in connection with getting out the Old Home Week edition and making plans for the big week, the editor of ye column has been unable to witness the Yellow Jackets in practice yet, but from reports we have gained tyom various sources, the fans are due for a pleasant surprise when they witness the locals in action Saturday.

The Bluffton Tigers, ancient foes of the Yellow Jackets, are hard at work in preparation for their opening game, next Saturday, when Columbia City invades BlufftonThe Huntington Vikings played a practice game with the former Vikings Saturday and the youngsters won by a score of 12-7. All of which would lead a casual observer to conclude that the 1928 edition of the Vikings might bear watching. “The Yellow Jackets have only seven games scheduled -but five of them are with Northeastern conference opponents —and the two non-conference engagements do not come until the fifth and sixth games. Verily, the Decaturites must have oodles of material — or else the board of strategy contemplates taking a heroic training course fcr new material, a la Pat Page of Indiana." —Huntington Herald.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 11, 1928.

PROMINENT KNOX COUNTY FARMER DIVORCES G.O.P. .John Napier Dyer “Disgusted” With Party; To Support Democratic Ticket Indianapolis, Sept 11.—John Napier Dyer, Vincennes, Ind., one of the lead Ing fruit growers of the country, formerly first vice-president of Rotary International and director in the American Farm Bureau Federation, has announced his "divorce" from the Republican party, expressing himself as "disgusted with its lack of honor in the repudiation of its solemn pledges to the American farmer,” and adding that he would support the Democratic ticket. Mr. Dyer, who personally operates 1,000 acres of land in Knox county, Indiana, producing both fruit and giain, is president of the Knox county Horticultural society. chairman of the organization committee of the National Horticulcultural council, and was one of the organizers of the Indiana Fann Bureau Federation. He is widely gnown as a speaker. Tis statement follows: "I am a life-long Republican; a dry Protestant During a period of seven years I have urged, begged and pleaded for relief from an intolerable condition affecting the business in which I am engaged, viz., the operation of a thousand acres of land — farming. During this period 1 have witnessed the depreciation In the value of the lands and chattels of those engaged in the business of agriculture of more than thirty billions of dollars. Added to this distress, farmers' indebt ness has increased more than eight and one-half billions of dollars. This is the real, tangible problem of agriculture all else is merely accessory to it. “For more than seven years the Republican party has been in power. In 1920 the distress of agriculture began, during the Harding administration. The pleas of farm leaders for constructive relief at that time met with

It a ’ 1 "W jMfei 1 1.’ ow 'Mir “ f b U n Mild enough, for anybody ... and yet they Satisfy* *Q ATISFY means good taste and pleasing aroma, kind of tobaccos, regardless of cost... and blended olt means that Chesterfield cigarettes have char- and cross-blended in a different way. acter . . . that they are not flat or tasteless. Chesterfield cigarettes Satisfy and yet — they're To satisfy, a cigarette must be made from the right mild enough for anybody!

derision. In 1924 the Republican party platform, as bait for the voter, pledged the administration of President Coolidge to ti policy of giving agriculture equality of opportunity and constructive relief. In the four years of the Coolidge administration of the government In the interest of the financial mid Industrial cast not a single constructive utterance came from the chief executive, nor a single effort to make good the party’s pledge to help the American farmer out of his difficulties or to relieve him of his intolerable burden of debt. "The Republican party has welched on its promises made to the farm e;s In 1924. It'has repudiated its solemn obligation as set forth in its party platform. "Now. In 1928, the Republican party blossoms forth with a candidate at whose doorstep can be laid in largest measure his party’s flagrant violation of its solemn pledges, and with a newset of flimsy promises seeks to throwdust in the eyes of the farmer and with honeyed words begs for his vote. Not satisfied with the platform he indorses and which has been repudiated by every reputable thinking farm leader, the candidate of the Republican party endeavors to amplify this platform by offering a panacea for farmers’ ills by adding vague and meaningless words to lure the votes, if the candidate were honest in his pledges his words might be taken at their face value, but after almost eight years in the cabinets of two Republican presidents, where he has sat idly by witnessing and aiding in the rape of the farmer, it is folly for him to come forth with a flare of words wholly lacking in a background of sincerity. "Every farm leader knows that agriculture is no more 'one industry’ than ’industry' is one industry. Its dilemma is identical and the solution of its problem can easily be accomplished as a whole. ‘Abandoned farms of the northeast - were merely forerunners of abandoned farms of the middlewest. With a continuation of the present agricultural policy—a policy which refuses to recognize the reversal of world trade balances, and the lack of need for surplus agricultural production to bring back the gold from the old world to pay our interest obligations of the past—there can he no real farm relief. "Let not the candidate be deeieved

into thinking that what the America! farmer wants is a return to pre-war conditions Farmers want to be broU ght up to date, given an equal opportunity, and to have a farm dot lar equal in value to the dollar of every other group In the United States that has received the beneth-lul protection of the government through legislative enactments. Banking and finance by the federal reserve act; labor bv the exclualon act and the Adamson law; transportation by the Ech-Cummlns law and the interstate iomnieii-e commission; shipping by the Jones act and Industry by the Fordney-McCumber tariff act. "If ‘high transportation costs are n cause for agricultural distress, ku.l they are Indeed, the way to allay this distress Is to reduce freight lates on agricultural products, not talk about building waterways as a means for lowering transportation rates perhaps twenty years hence. “Let the Republican candidate state with what kind of authority he would clothe his proposed federal farm board, and by what means would it absorb losses on surplus. Does he Imply that the millions he proposes for farm relief is to be loaned to farmers at as low rates of interest as President Coolidge will loan millions to the great shipping Interests? "And the Republican vice-presiden-tial candidate has stressed his lack of knowledge of this problem of farm relief by offering the threadbare, wornout suggestion of a committee of investigation. As if there had not been committees galore with findings replete with suggestions, and yet nothing has been done and nothing ever will lie done under a Republican administration. Industrial America has decreed through its High Priest Mellon that never will it sanction raising the price of agricultural products to increase the cost of industrial production. The industrial candidate of the Republican party Is definitely committed, to this policy. "How differently the Democratic party and its candidate have faced this momentous question. Their platform, insead of being vague and evasive. has squarely met the issue and offers as the solution of the farm problem the method proposed by agriculture itself. The candidate goes further in amplifying the platform pledges, promising to get to the solution of the problem, not twenty years
