14 UNDEFEATED TEAMS IN EAST By George Kirksey (United Press Staff Correspondent) New York, Oct. 23 —Fourteen football teams in the east have come down to the last Saturday in October without a defeat or tie to mar their record. Os this group nrrny. raie, iiartmouth and New York University apparently have an edge over the rest of the group. In the second classification, Pennsylvania, Carnegie Tech, Cornell, George town and Boston college apparently belong for the present. The other Five unbeaten and untied teams are Williams, Temple (Philadelphia) Duquesen (((Pittsburgh). Villa Nova and Tufts. The latter team was one of the two elevens which went through the 1927 season without suffering a defeat or a tie. The other was Centenary College, of Shreveport. La., which lost last week to Taylor University. Georgetown University has assembled another ruthless scoring machine and lias rolled up 205 points in four games against Mt. St. Mary's Susquehanna. Lebanon Valley and West Virginia Wesleyan. Two eastern elevens. Pennsylvania and Lafayette, have untrammeled goal lines, hut the latter was held to a sccrless tie by Bucknell last week. The East's big game this week brings together two of the leaders, Army and Yale, in the bowl at New Haven and the winner quite possibly may ; continue on to win the mythical eastern championship. The only less suffered by the Army last year was a 10 to 6 defeat at the hands of Yale. Having conquered Harvard for the first time in history, the Army eleven will attempt to crash another tradition by defeating Yale. No team has ever beaten Harvard and Yale cn their home gridirons on successive Saturdays.

Minneapolis—All the Gopher regu lars with the exception of Wayne Ka kela. Center, and Wallace Norgaard, end. are in good shape. The Minnesota team faces a hard week cf drill fur the lowa game at lowa City Saturday. A hard two hour drill Monday will precede two or three scrimmages later in the week. Madison—A general shakeup is in prospect for the Wisconsin eleven, coach Glenn Thistlethwaite said, not being overly pleased with the showing against Purdue last week. A new lineup is promised for the Michigan game Saturday. Champaign— Harry Richman is back cn the Illinois gridiron and there is oy in the Kuupke camp. Richman, a center, has been ineligible but now is expected to add considerable strength to the line. Notre Dame — With four regulars and a second stringer on the inured lit, the Notre Dame eleven resumed practice today for the Drake University game Saturday. Rockne is looking for a fullback to take the place of Billie Dew, injured in the Georgia Tech game. Lafayette — The Purdue Moilermakers are perfecting a defense for passes in preparation for the Maroons Saturday. The Wisconsin aerial last week bewildered the Boilermakers and Phelan Hopes to overcome the weakness by the end of the week. INVENTION BRINGS MILLIONS TO WANDERING PROSPECTOR tCOXT. VUED rsns pace ONE) Wash , court, Carson pleaded with San Francisco millionaires, Rudol p h Spreckels and Robert Hayes Smith, to help finance a further fight. They agieed and the court fight continued. The U. S. district court decided for the copper company. This was reversed by the U. S. circuit court of appeals which ordered the company to refrain from further use of the furnace and to account for profits since the invention had been operated. The company sought to have the lower court udgments reviewed. The fight ended with victory for the former prospector when the U. S. supreme court denied the petition. Carson is now living in San Francisco, he is 61 yars old and physically active. When he receives the $30,000,000 Carson expects to build a laboratory and continue with his experiments.

Be arg Has Strong Team for Missouri a».l c ( H H By SOL METZGER Look out, Nebraska, here comes Missouri! No other team will face the latter eleven that the Cornhuskers would give more to beat. Wiping out the defeat of last year, a game lost by one point, is one of the pet tasks at Lincoln this fall. But Coach Ernie Bearg and his men have no sinecure. They will meet a powerful eleven, versed in every trick of football. If you recall yesterday's Missouri play you will remember that the No. I 1 back in the diagram, started to his right before the ball was put in play and faked a run in that direction, the play resulting in a line smash between tackle and guard. Another stunt of Coach Henry's is to have No. 1 take the ball himself, as he swings round, and do the plunging between the opposing tackle and guard. Strength is added to the play ' by having the No. 2 back run to his right. Every defensive back will note No. 2 do this and be on the lookout j for a pass. That will slow them in i backing up the line and in consequence give No. 1 an opportunity to . turn in a sizeable gain. In the South Saturday a battle royal is expected when Washington and Lee meets Tennessee at Knoxville. One o fthe unusual plays ■of the season, an effective side-line buck used by Tennessee, will be shown tomorrow. Copyright, 1928, Publishers Syndicate. o

HOOVER CLOSES HIS CAMPAIGN IN EASTERN STATES (CONTINUED FIIOM PAGE ONE) prohibition modification program was sudden and dramatic. "Because the country is faced with difficulty and doubt over certain natonal problems—that is, prohibition, farm relief and electric power—our opponents propose that we must thrust government a long way into the businesses which give rise to these problems,’’ Hoover said. “In effect, they abandon the tenets cf their own party and turn to state socialism as a solution of the 'difficulties presented by all three. "It is proposed that we shall change from prohbiition to the state purchase and sale of liquor. If there agricultural relief program means anything, it means that the government shall directly or indirectly buy and sell and fix prices of agricultural products. And we are to go into the hydrc-electrical power business. “In other words, we are confronted with a huge program of government in business.’’ Hoover discussed prohibition no further than to denounce Smith’s proposal, though Vice-President Dawes, who preceded him. gave some attention to it, declaring it is not an issue with the average citizen, though it wlil affect votes of many who feel strongly one way or the other. Continuance of prosperity, the vice-presi-dent declared in this, his first campaign speech, is the dominant issue. Hoover then denounced government operation of commercial business in which he said he had had experience. “It is a false liberalism that interprets Itself into the government operation of commercial business," he said. He argued that even if it were efficient, which he denied, “the fundamental objection to it would remain unaltered and unabated." It would destroy political equality, increase abuse and stifle initiative and invention, undermine the development of leadership, cramp and cripple the mental and spiritual energies of the people, extinguish eqmf.ity and opportunity and dry u.p the spirit of liberty and progress, he declared. Hoover said his; position, however, did not mean that the government “is to part with one iota of its natural resources without complete protection to the uipblic interest.” He pledged himself to regulation of business to correct evils. o Free Hot Dogs at Sun Set Dance Wednesday night.

The Fourth Down By . Willie Punt' BEAT BLUFFTON! Bluffton has defeated the Yellow Jackets in football in the last two meetings of the elevens. Before that, the Yellow Jackets had much the better of the argument. Its high time ! tor the tables to be turned and a mark made on the credit side of Decatur’s ledger. Decatur's team is plenty good enough to trounce the Tigers Saturday, and we believe the boys will have the old determination when they take the field. Huntington's Best Wishes "After reading the above paragraph (a paragraph from our column in which we offered sympathy to the . Vikings), we make haste to toss back a word of condolence for the 37-0 squashing which the Yellow Jackets received at the hands of the heavy Concordia college eleven last week. The Jackets end their gridiron endeavors this week when they go to Bluffton for the Tiger homecoming fray. All manner and kind of good wishes are hereby extended to the Decatur team — which words probably won't tend to tame the Bengals to any extent.” —Huntington Herald. Bluffton Banter “With the short vacation during the teachers' convention over, the Bluffton , Tigers will settle down to hard work this week in preparation for the biggest and most important of the season, the Decatur Yellow Jackets at Wilson field. "The Bluffton-Decatur game will be I the feature of the annual Homecoming Day Friday. Although other features have been planned for the day. success of the event will hinge on the outcome of the battle between Tigers I and Yellow Jackets. “The Tigers have won the last two ! battles with Decatur, 39 to 0 in 1926 I at Wilson field and 14 to 7 in 1927 at I Decatur. This year we expect the Tige.s to make it three straight. How- | aver, we refuse to forecast the score, j “In the evening following the game. | members of the B-Men's Association I will hold a banquet at the high school cafeteria. The banquet is to be a yearly feature of Homecoming Day." —Bluffton Pinner. — o Northeastern Indiana Conference Standing W L T Pct. ! Central 4 0 0 1.000 , South Side 2 0 0 1.000.
