S. C. Back Turns Lake Kick Into Run

V • I F ‘ "* J 6 c T (® f

Standing some 5 yards back of his own goal line, Jeffords, a fine punter on the South Carolina eleven, was evidently preparing to boot the ball far up the field and out of danger from the attack of the Citadel team. Back it came to him and Jeffords stepped forward. actually swung his foot at the ball and leaped to the right with it. in his arms as the defensive right end and tackle jumped in front of him to block what they imagined was a kick. Behind seven interferers Jeffords swept up the field, cleared every deI tensive man, but was caught from the rear on the opponents' 45-yard line. It was as thrilling a play as I have ever witnessed. The fake was worked in this way. Backs 2 and 3, assigned to block the defensive left tackle and end, moved a bit further to the right as these men came charging in to block the kick. They thus were turned straight in front of Jeffotds. Back No. 8 ran out as though to stop the charge of the opK>asing right tackle but merely turned him wide and then he himelf swept over to lead the runner. This disposed of the men who usually stopped end . runs. Meantime the right tackle boxed the defensive left guard while the other linemen swept out as interferers. The two ends tan down as if on a punt They had no trouble taking out the defensive backs. Thus all hands got into the play, a corking fake if ever there was one. Watch for it tills fall, now that it is shown. Tomorrow—A great forward pass.

The Fourth Down By Willie Punt

The Yellow Jackets’ battle with Concordia College here next Saturday will bring the football season to a close in this city. The locals will end their season at Bluffton the following Saturday. Although the present season has been more or less disapopinting in regard to games won and lost, the Yellow Jackets have been showing gradual improvement and Concordia and Bluffton may expect tough battles. Coach Kidd has spent considerable time in developing new material this season and when next fall rolls around he will have a fine bunch of experienced players on hands. The Huntington Vikings met disaster in their battle with the Kokomo Wildcats, last Saturday. In addition to losing the game by a score of 26-0, Captain Ade, 215-pound tackle, and Bob Petrie quarterback and ball carrier deluxe, were badly injured. Ade sustained a new injury to a bad knee and will be out for the remainder of the season, while Petrie is on crutches this week as the result of torn cartilages and ligaments in one foot and ankle.

OFFERS 5200,000 ■ FOR THE RAJAH New York, Oct. 17. — (U.R)—Rogers Hornsby has the most elastic valuation of any player in the National league. Just a few years ago at least two National league clubs were reported willing to pay more than $300,000 for the big heavy hitting second baseman. In 1926 he led the Cardinals to a world championship and was traded to the Giants for players whose total worth certainly didn't approach a quarter of a million dollars. A year ago he was traded by New York to Boston for a couple of comparatively unknown players whose value couldn't have been placed higher than SIOO,000. And today William Wrigley, the millionaire owner of the Chicago Cubs, set $200,000 as Hornsby's worth. Wrigley in Chicago admitted he would like to have Hornsby and said he would pay $200,000 for him. Judge Emil Fuchs of the Boston Braves, the club Hornsby managed last season, is understood to be demanding some players in addition. When Hornsby’s value was placed at more than $300,000 he leading hitter of the National league. No one came close to him. He displayed managerial ability by leading St. Louis to its first championship. His batting slumped slightly, however. ' With the Giants he was field captain and had a successful year at bat. But 1 even at that his monetary v-alue slip- • ped. The Giants traded him to Bos- ' ton and the Giants got a catcher and an outfielder who might or might not have brought SIOO,OOO on the open market. With Boston last year, Hornsby re--1 gained his batting eye and hit at a [ clip that put him well in the van of National league batsmen. The Braves under his management : finished next to last place. Yet Wrigley claims Hornsby is , worth $200,000 in cash. o- - Babe Ruth’s Reputation As Home-Run King Means Nothing To Hotel Clerks Elmira, N.

GLADYS KERN I DESCRIBES WORK I (Editor's note: The following letter was received by the Evangelical church congregation from Miss Gladys Kern, former Decatur young lady, who is serving in the Home Missionary work of the Evangelical church, at the Red Bird Mission, Beverly, Kentucky. The letter describes the work of Miss Kern in an interesting manner). Red Bird Mission, Beverly, Ky. Sept. 28, 1928. Dear Decatur Friends: Please excuse this delay on “Thank You” but these past days have been so strenuous and busy. You must know though that as Mr. DeWall lay in his bed room, his body torn with exhausted nerves and his heart aching to go on wth the fulfillment of h)s dream of Kingdom advancement in these mountains, the scholarship from you did its bit to lift the burden. For his eyes brightened and his hand clasp tightened as he said thanks to me for you, and remarked. “That will mean a few hours of rest now. If we only had one hundred more like it. all would seem brighter.” And, indeed for him, all must be brighter now, as he treads the streets of gold. For us, so much seems dark and gloomy. How glad we are that His Love is ours, as it was Mr. DeWalls., Perhaps a few details will mean much to you. Death came suddenly Sunday morning at 12:30. Grief held us workers almost senseless. But arrangements must be made. The telephone was working so messages were started, and a Pineville undertaker was called. Would he come’ Yes, for Mr. DeWall he would Herses were started to meet him at Heyburn at 7:30. Another rider left to notify our Beechfork workers. We phoned to Jack Creek, but Mr. Porterfield was at Mill Creek several miles away and across two mountains. So a rider left here to tell him. A mule team and wagon left Pineville at 7:00 a.m., to bring a casket. At 5:00 p.m. it arrived. The mountain friends from miles around gathered to pay loving t(‘|bu|p to |heir friend and counsilor. It had been a deep wish that the people here could witness a Christian funeral. And what a funeral! We w'ound our way up the creek to the chapel just as the day died. The students, sang and our ministers, Dr. Heim. Rev. Miller, Rev. Porterfield, Rev. Berrgett and Rev. Weibel con ducted a beautiful service. We returned to DeWall’s -by moonlight. The sad, sad parting came on Monday morning when the body of STOMACH OPSET Get at the real cause. That’s what thousandsof stomach sufferers are doing now. Instead of taking tonics, or trying to patch up a poor digestion, they are attacking the real cause of the ailment —clogged liver and disordered bowels. Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets arouse the liver in a soothing, healing way. When the liver and bowels are performing their natural functions, away goes indigestion and stomach troubles. Have you a bad taste, coated tongue, poor appetite, a lazy, don’t-care feeling, no ambition or energy, trouble with undigested foods? Take Olive Tablets, the substitute for calomel.

our superintendent was gently placed i and secured in a wagon, for it’s last ! ride over these mountain roads. The family left a few hours later. In Pineville the Kiwanis Club con ducted a most wonderful service in the Chrsttan church. A number of our workers and boys were there. At eleven o’clock word reached us that plans had been changed. Instead of going to Minnesota as had been planned, he would rest on one I of the Red Bird hills. To think of the long return trip on Tuesday was hard, but we felt, as did all the mountain folks, that he belonged to us. One of the ladies said, “Oh, I’m so glad, it seems he’s half come back to life.” On Wednesday afternoon- the burial site was chosen, on a hill facing and between the church and school. Men and boys worked hard and faithfully until 2:00 a.m. to prepare the grave. Then on Wednesday all the men and boys helped build the mountain path to the grave We shall always think of it as the “Path of the Loving Heart.” Again at 2:00 on Wednesday with Pineville friends and all the workers, we assembled with the score of mountain mourners and winded our way to the church. Rev. Porterfield, Jacks Creek, Rev. We-iburn, of Pineville, and Rev. Epp of the Board of Missions, paid loving tribute to our Polar Star, the Beacon of the Hills, and The Shepherd*of the R/d Bird. 1 But beyond was the Star of Hope, ' and the Shepherd of Us All. Then he was laid to rest, in the heart of ' the mountains to which he came. Pray with us and for us that we i i i. ■ ■ ■■
