Only games scheduled o Story Os Pageant, Spoken By Herald, Is Written By Mrs, Tyndall Many queries have been received' as to the identity of various characters participating in the Old Home 1 Week historical pageant, Tuesday evening, and chief among these was the question. ‘‘Who was the Herald?” It was Mr France Conter, who appeared at the beginning of each episide in Herald costume, with megaphone, and so clearly announced the features of the episode to follow, eo that all individuals in the audience j could follow the story of the pageant and understand the various groups as they appeared on the scene. It is to Mrs. John Tyndall that the committee is indebted for the “words” of the Herald, as she originated and composed them in poetical form, in explanation of the events of the pageant. Mrs. Tyndall based her composition upon her familiarity with the history of Decatur and the Limberlost and upon her knowledge of . the events of the pageant. o Mrs. John O'Brien, of Marion, will 1 be a guest of Mrs. A. M. Anker for the remainder of the week. Mrs. O'- ' Brien was formerly Miss Minnie P. Orvis of this city. Sr. M. Antoinette, Sr. M. Francis Xavier, and Mr. and Mrs. William Kortenber and son John, of New Hav- 1 en attended the Old Home Week cele- t bration yesterday.

Winning Team Must Have Good Kickers | Cfcrtltß'fc ) " | V r ztT/ ■ <AO(,fc<- Gi.Lt Ov*r» v ~ 1 QIUHt VtO-FASt aS, (PA46 Bt LiNtt-p-I no tint wAyito By SOL METZGER When the late Andy Smith last visited me we talked mostly about the kicking game. As teammates on the varsity at college, Andy as fullback, yours truly at end, we vividly recalled our failure to win a big game because of poor kicking. That disappointment in his playing career had much to do j with Andy stressing this form of play > when he developed his winning California elevens. The Golden Bears won, so Andy said, because in playing the kicking game to perfection, they thus gained about 150 yards more ground to a game than any opponent Coach Haugton, when at Harvard, gave the Crimson its one longest string of winning elevens in like man ner. It is not strange then that "Nibs" Price. Smith’s successor at California, stresses this same manner of attack. Price puts it concretely in these words: "You punt more than you use any other play. Why not perfect it in every detail?” In all sound punting speed is paramount Price depends on sound fundamentals to obtain speed. His kickers learn to kick by taking just one step. That saves half the time used in taking two. They are also fed a fast spiral pass by the center. To guard against errors in passing and also to save time this pass is delivered to them belt high over the right foot. Holding the hands out chest high for the pass, the style in general use, is O. K. But if the center passes high, as they often do, a leap must be made for the ball and precious time lost. If the target is low this leap is avoided. Tomorrow —California's quick kick. What to eat, how to eat, overcoming indigestion, are some of the questions answered in Sol Metzger's leaflet on "Diet and Training for Football.” Mr. Metzger will send this leaflet to anyone sending a stamped, addressed envelope in care of this paper. FOUR LEFT IN ~ GOLF TOURNEY Brae Burn Country Club, West Nev. ton. .Mass., Sept. 14—(U.PJ—Four able! golfers, as strong a quartet as ever, reached the semi final round of a Na-1 tional ’championship, competed today I for Amateur Honors at Brae Burn. On a little table near the starting tee, the tall gold cup which bears three times on its burnished sides the name of Robert Tyre Jones, Jr., of Atlanta, stood as a gentle hit to the contestants. The stalwart figure of Robert Tyre' Jones. Jr., hifself stood out among the little group of semi-finalists which went whacking away down the sloping first fairway on the quest for his title. —n Mr. and Mrs. M.

'FORT WAYNE WINS SECOND OF SERIES S Erie, Sept. 14 — The’shoe was on the other foot here Thursday afternoon and the Fort Wayne Chiefs, led by Don Sikes, vanquished the Erie Sailors In the second game of their little world sei les by Identically the same score as Elie won the opener sto 2. Crowding all their scoring Into the first Innings off Anderson the Hoosiers were held scoreless and to one hit by Bill Coggins in the last seven Innings. Fort Wayne's lone tally in the thild was wade with the aid of a hit. Perkins, another Middle Atlantic league product, held Erie well in check ( in all but the fiftli flame, when doubles by Beckwith and Golvln, and a single by Jack Henzes, diove in two runs Perkins immediately settled down and • gave Erie nary a hit the remainder of ‘ the game. 1 Coupled with their timely hitting a- • gainst Anderson. whom Erie obtained ■» shortly before the season closed from Johnstown of the Mld-Atlantic loop, - the Sailors' hurler had to contend with < a glaring two-base error by Hoke ; Beazley in center field, fashioned after the boot made by Sikes for For’ Wayne in the opening game. Also Anderson walked a pair of men. A double , play by Hill and Golvin saved Erie from further scoring in that first inning. After the second inning the game • resolved itself Into a pretty hurling duel between Coggins said Perkins. The only hit the Chiefs scored off the former was Sikes' double to the center , field fence in the seventh inning. — o U. G.

We Want Your Opinion of This 5c Cigar Havana Ribbon is its name . . • a cigar—for five cents! —that from end to end contains nothing but fully-ripe middle leaves of choice tobacco plants. No bitter underripe top leaves; no fiat-tasting overripe bottom leaves. But quality tobacco captured just when Nature has given it its truest, mellowest, mildest flavor and aroma. And longfiller tobacco at that! No short ends to crumble in your mouth. We contend that Havana Ribbon is without doubt the greatest fivecent value that has ever come out of a cigar factory. See if you don’t agree with us—try Havana Ribbon. Never mind wondering how such cigar goodness is possible for a nickel (immense production and genuine manufacturing sincerity are the reasons, if you insist on knowing). Judge Havana Ribbon solely on smoking enjoyment and money-saving value. Also Practical Pocket Package of five cigars. OVER SUNDAY EXCURSION to ST.
