—(U.PJ— Madison, Wis. — Milo Liibratovich, Wisconsin tackle, now is going under the name of "the man with the iron mask" since a freshman broke his nose in a scrimmage. He wears a leather mask that covers his face except for slits at the eyes. Despite the handicap he expects to be in the game against Alabama Saturday. Minneapolis. — With everything pointing to the loss of Bronko Nagurski, Minnesota’s full back, in the game Saturday with Northwestern, Coach Spears continues to drill Pharmer for the position. Kirk probably will get the call at right half over Brockmeyer Evanston, 111.- Northwestern is up against it for tackles to meet the Gophers. Two of the three regulars at that position are on the hospital list. Coach Dick Hanley was.forced to use some of his spare ends for the tackle holes. Chicago. — The Maroons need two tackles and a quarter back before Saturday when they meet Penn. The only two veterans who were out this year for tackle are out for the season from injuries and Stagg is tearing his hair for substitutes. Poor generalship has been the cause of several defeats for ChitOgo this year and the situation appears far from encouraging. Lafayette, Ind. — Purdue regulars are having a rest this week in view of the Northwestern game November 10. Purdue meets Case college Saturday and the game is looked upon as "in the bag.” South Bend, Ind. —Notre Dame will not take Harry “Moon" to Philadelphia Saturday despite the fact he played brilliantly against Drake last week. He is out with a leg injury. The loss of Mullins cramps the scoring power of the Irish team, developed after the Georgie Tech game. Most of the offensive was built around the plunging

fullback. Ann Arbor, Mich.—A revamped line, averaging 195 pounds, will confront the Illini Saturday when they trot on the field to meet Michigan. Bruce Hulbert, who weighs 238 pounds and fast Withal, has been inserted into the lineup after his good showing against Wisconsin. Champaign, Ill.—lllinois had its final practice yesterday before going to Ann Arbor. There was an air of culet confidence as the regulars went through maneuvers. Zuppke said the Illini would be stronger against Michigan than at any time so far this season. lowa City.—Forward pasess and running attacks have featured the lowa practice sessions this week in preparation for the Ohio State game a week from Saturday. McClain still is out of scrimmage with an injured hand. International College Opens Basketball Practice Fort Wayne, Nov. I—Clyde Svobcda secretary of the Fort Wayne Unicn Stockyards, has been appointed again to coach the International college basketball team for this season, J. (.', Tritch, principal cf the school, announced today. Tite first official basketball practice of the school was held Wednesday night.

West Virginia’s coaches I took up the formation and spent a month perfecting it. It won several I signal victories for them, overwhelmj ing both Princeton and West Virginia 1 Wesleyan. The direct result was that Bill Roper, the Tiger coach, and "Greasy” Neal, the Virginia pilot, formerly a West Virginia Wesleyan player, saw possibilities in the formation. Virginia used it last year, so did Roper against Yale. So, it'rf dollars to doughnuts that both teams will be likely to work plays from it this Saturday when they meet Vanderbilt and Ohio State respectively. To-morrow-plays that Ohio State and : Vanderbilt must be on the lookout i for. Diet often stands between victory and defeat. You can't expect to win at football by overeating and undersleeping. You must learn the value of regulation.

—o PROPOSE CHANCES IN AMATEUR RULE New York, Nov. I.— (U.Pj —Several radical changes in the rules of the Amateur Athletic Union will be advocated at the fortieth annual convention of that body at New York on November 18, 19 and 20. Among the more important changes are the following: 1. A college or university athlete I may elect to compete for his school or club, but not for l>oth. 2. A swimmer who accepts a position as lifeguard thereby disqualifies himself for further competition as an amateur. 3. Disqualification of any athlete who allows his name to be used to advertise any goods or apparatus. The efforts of the Central Asociation of the A. A. U. at Chicago to have the first rule adopted may cause a bitter controversy. The rule would prevent any track star or swimmer from representing a club during the years he competes for his college. Eastern and far western delegates undoubtedly will fight such a rule to the last ditch. Most of the support will come from the middle west where a similar rule has been in effect in the Big Ten conference for several years. Herb Schwarze, University of Wisconsin shot putter, was barred from college competition under this rule. Schwarze never actually wore an Illinois A. C. emblem, but merely trained and traveled with the I. A. C. athletes. This rule would be a severe blow , to the eastern and California clubs. ' The New York A. C., Newark A ,C„ Boston A. A., Los Angeles A. C., and Olympic club track and field teams are made up almost entirely of college stars still in competition. The advantage of such a rule is that it would force athletic clubs to develop their athletes from among non college men and working boys and young men. Most of the European athletes are developed in this manner. ■ Get the Habit—i raae at Home, it Pay*

SAYS FORMERS WERE REBUFFED BY REPUBLICANS —— iCONTINVF.D FBOM P«..;F ow«!» the Hoover ticket, after having been rebuffed as they have been, the leaders of the Republican party will feel no necessity of recognizing his de-1 mands any longer, while the Demo- ! cratic party will likewise be justified in saying to him, ‘We promised you relief in 1928 and you voted against us notwithstanding, so you need not come to us again.' The farmers of America are at the cross-roads so far as obtaining relief through legislative channels is concerned. “The situation in the state is equally plain. For eight years, the name and reputation of the state has suffered at the hands of Republican office holders. The efforts of the Republican party to purge itself through the primary failed, and the same organization that produced the present administration still has a strangle hold upon the machinery of that party. “Under the leadership of Frank C. Dailey the Democratic ticket stands pe'dged to do a thorough job of genuine house-cleaning. “Again, Republican leaders are making desperate attempts to mislead the public and draw the attention of the voters away from the real issues. Mr. Leslie would like to have the people believe that the utility interests are back of Mr. Dailey, but it Is a significant fact that exGovernor James P. Goodrich, known to be one of the largest utility magnates in the state. Is out speaking for Mr. “No candidate on the Democratic

The length to which designing and unscrupulous persons will go is shown by the fact that my wife, who is of German birth, was charged with being an organizer of the klan, notwithstanding she was ineligible for membership in that organization according to its published principles. “These, ami similar charges will be
