EAST TO MEET WEST SATURDAY by George Kirksey (United Press Staff Correspondent.) New Yolk, Oct. 31—'U.RJ—The fifrat chance this season for a comparison ot football as played in the east and by the Big Ten will be afforded Saturday by the Princeton-Ohio State game, at Columbus, and the PennsylvaniaChicago game, at Chicago. Big Ten teams demonstrated superority over eastern elevens last season by winning three out of five intersectional games. Princeton beat Ohio State, 2(1 to 0; and Harvard defeated Indiana. 26 to 6. For the east's two victories, both games being played in the east. Purdue invaded Cambridge and won from Harvard. 19 to 0. Chicago defeated Pennsylvania 13 to 7. at Chicago and Michigan trounced the Navy, 27 to 12. In the west. Four games are scheduled between eastern and Big Ten teams this season Besides the Princeton-Ohio and PennChicago games Navy will meet Michigan at Baltimore Nov. 10 and Dartmouth will play Northwestern at Chicago Nov. 24. The general impression among football men familiar with eastern and mid-western play is that the western variety is a trifle better. Outside of the Army, New York University and perhaps one or two other teams the east has no really great football machines this season. The Big Ten has lowa. Ohio State, Illinois, Minnesota and Wisconsin apparently better than the east's Big Five best teams, excepting West Point. The Army might beat any one of the Rig Ten teams, but the army is quite possibly capable cf beating any football teaht in captivity this season. Despite the fact that Virginia held Princeton to a scorless tie and Cornell almost did the same thing, the Tigers have the potential strength to develop into one of the east's best teams. Mike Miles Trix Bennett and Ed Wittwer will all return to the Princeton back field against Ohio State this week giving the Tigers full strength for the first time since the opening game. I nfcrtunately, the weakness cf Coach Stagg s eleven this season will | not permit a true test of Big Ten j strength in the Penn-Chivago clash.! Penn is none too strong this year, but| should trim the woefully weak Chicago eleven. E. Howard Marshall On Football Team In Chicago According to a story in the Herald, a newspaper published by the Harrisrn Hill high school pupils of Chicago, E. Howard Marshall, former Decatur high school instructor whc is now teaching Physics in the Harrison Hill school, is playing end on the school's faculty football team. ''Archimedes" is the nickname given to Mr. Marshall. Mr. Marshall played football while in Penn College, lowa, and coached football in Decatur high school for one season. There are 4.200 pupils in the Harrison Hill high school. “ o— Jefferson Plays Hartford; Berne Meets New Haven The Jefferson and Hartford township basketball teams will meet in a game at Berne, Friday night. This will be the second game of the season for each team, Jefferson having lost the opener to Kirkland, while Hartford downed Monmouth last week.

Campaign strategy revolved about a concerted attack by speakers headed by Senator Borah and Charles Evans Hughes against prohibition modification. Governor Alfred E. Smith put the finishing touches to the address which he will deliver in Newark, N. J., tonight. The speech wil be devoted tc the labor issue, particularly to the use of the Injunction in labor disputes. Prosperity is the outstanding issue in the present campaign, Secretary of Navy Wilbur told an audience at Suffern, N. Y. Questions of farm relief, the tariff and prohibition are all subordinate to prosperity, he' said. Charles Evans Hughes, former secretary of state, speaking at Worcester. Mass., urged that a republican administration be retained to protect the nation “against the invasion of disastrous policies." o flat the Habit—Trade at Home. It Pay*

WMV 3 V \ \ \ * ' V JJWM. \ / —y 1 Back in 1915, Elcock, former stat Dartmouth lineman, then coaching Washington and Lee, surprised the football wcrld with a new formation — 1 the thiee-men-out. It beat West Virgin 1 ia and all but toppled Cornell, the one championship eleven Cornell ever pro duced. Dr. Al Sharpe, now at Washing ten Univeisity. then Cornell's coach was saved ftom defeat by timely scouting. ’ The three-men-out formation caught everyone napping It overwhelmed the standard types of defense, just as had the Idaho spread a decade before, which “Hurry Up" Ycst a year later brought East to Michigan, but without good results. Elcock's team merely put two backs Nos. 2 and 3 in diagram and the left end. No 6, out to the right some 15 yards from tackle. The end was on the line of scrimmage, the two backs was behind it. Thus all three were eligible to receive passes. His fullback. No. 4 played 10 yards back of center. The i quarter hack. No 1. was under center. His position thete fotced the opposing line to remain in position. The three-men-out merely ran down the field, two turning in. When the play was first used. Later, West Virginia and then Princeton took it up. highly perfecting the scheme of plays. But before that let me show you tomorrow another scheme Elcock walked with this formation. Thro l gh years of coaching Sol Metzger has learned a few simple truths about diet.

(Copyright 192 S Publishers Syndicate) ON THE SIDELINES —IN THE BIG TEN By United Press Ann Arbor. Mich., —Optimism reigned in the Michigan football camp today as Fielding Yost himself took a hand in bolstering the spiiits of the I gridders with his famous “Hurry up” call. CoachWieman believes the Wolverines have a chance to upset Illinois Saturday. Champaign— Coach Zuppke hopes between now and the time the whistle! blows for the Michigan game to find the necessary punch that will spell i victory for the Illini. He put the freshmen through Michigan plays yesterday j in preparation for scrimmage with the varsity the rest of the week. Columbus, Ohio — Coach Wilce is hunting for a tackle to take the place' of Leo Paskowski, all-American lines man, whose ankle was twisted Saturday. Paskowski may not be able to J play Saturday against Princeton and Wilce is taking no chances. Minneapolis—With Bronko Nagurski injured fullback, out of the game,! Coach Spears is up against it with the Northwestern game coming Saturday. Three or four candidates, including Pharmer, Westin, Westphal and Aren-1 de, were tried out yesterday but didn’t ! seem to fill the bill. Evanston, Ill—Two backfields will confront the Minnesota team here Sat- , urday when it meets Northwestern. One will be composed of regulars with one new comer and the other erstwhile regulars and the best of relief men. Probably Hanley will start the second stringers and replace them later with the regulars. Chicago—The Maroons were pepped up considerably today by the addition of three regulars who had been crippled. Leyers, Raysson, and Van Nice were in uniform yesterday and I worked out with the varsity. Van Nice ! probably will not be able to play a-j gainst Penn Saturday but the other two will be In shape. lowa City— lowa spent the entire practice session yesterday building np! a defense against aerial attacks, designed to combat the tactics of Ohio State which comes here in two weeks. West Point N. Y. —Chris Cagle, the army's star half back, may not lie used against De Pauw this week unless the western eleven is stronger than expected. Cagle will he sayed for the Notre Dame game a week hence and Piper probably will be used at his place.Philadelphia — Pennsylvania will start two new ends against Chicago Saturday. They are Joey Schaaf, varsity basketball captain, and Syd Gervin. 1 he Coaches were disappointed in the work of Ball and Olexy against the Navy.

This determined-looking young man is Armil. known as the “Davenport Flash." who has been shifted from the position of fullback to quarter on the lowa eleven, since Mayes McLain’s frequent exhibitions of hefty' line battering. Coach Ingwerson has a lot of faith in Armil’s generalship and sent him into the game Saturday witli the hope that he could outsmart Minnesota’s “Thundering Herd," which, the 7-6 victory would indicate, he did. u

Miles of Warren comity, won the state corn husking championship in the i state contest held at the Frank Abney tai in. two miles northeast of here Tuesday. Charles Budd of Jasper county, was last year’s stat champion. To win the title this year. Mr. Miles husked 18 61 bushels of com in one j hour and twenty minutes.

' Bi ewster, British subject, Great War [hero and Shanghai beachcomber, is a man who likes his comfortable cell in j the Shanghai jail. George says so himself. He’s in jail today and will be there for some time to come, all of which makes him quite contented. Five times did George essay to break into the local jail and five times did a British judge refuse to send him there, because of the man’s remarkable war record. On the occasion of his fourth appearance before the British court George pleaded to be sent to jail. He argued ■ that he was unemployed and hungry; that in prison he had no work to do

On busy Nanking Road he amused himself by hurling rocks through display windows. He pleaded guilty in court and asked ' fcr a jail term. The judge was obliging. I Three months for George. "Thank you sit" was George's com ment. o Sugar Beets Enrich Soil, Experiments Show The growing of sugar beets enriches the soil. Expet intents have shewn that land that yielded 26.9 bushels of wheat to the acre before sugar beets had been grown, yielded 43.1 bushels to the acre after their introduction. Corresponding increases are shown in barley, corn and oats after rotation with sugar beets. The extensive root system of the beet opens and aerates the soil. Beet r:ots frequently go down into the ground from seven to eight feet. The abundant growth under the surface enables the soil to retain and utilize a greater amount of ait and moisture. Moreover, the thorough cultivatio nrequired by tfie beet crop pulverizes the soil and rids the land of weeds, while the fertilizer applied to the soil by the beet crop remains to benefit other crops. o Why not buy that Radiola 18 Receiver now?
