YELLOW JACKETS LOSE GAME TO PORTLAND HIGH Shift In Lineup Fails To Help Local Gridiron Aggregation A severe shake-tip in the lineup of Decatur high school Yellow Jackets failed to help any, and the Klddmen bowed down to defeat Saturday on a muddy gridiron at Portland, victims of the Portland Panthers. The final score was 26-6. In the first half Decatur showed considerable offensive power but failed in pinches. Twice the Jacketmen carried the ball deep into J’ortlaud territory only to lose it before crossing the goal line. Portland gained an SO lead in the first half by negotiating a touchdown and a safety. The half en<R>d with Decatur in possession of the ball. Tn the second half the Jackets failed to brace-up and the Panthers continued their scoring ways and shoved two touchdowns across the Decatur goal line. Because of the mud and wet weather the game was void of thrills and a small crowd braved the elements to watch the game. Wednesday the Jacketmen go to Fort Wayne where they meet the Central high school Tigers. Lineup: Portland (20) Decatur (0) R Miller LE. Melchi Stratton LG Parrish Frye ...

Oct. 14. — <U.R> —Presi- ; dent Hoover turned his back on problems of state today to join the ranks of world series fans. Accompanied by- a party of seven, the chief executive and Mrs. Hoover left Washington at 10 a. m. in a private car attached to a regularly scheduled train for Philadelphia. Other members of the party were Attorney General and Mrs. William E. Mitchell: Secretary of Agriculture ’ Hyde: Walter Newton and I.awrence i Richey. White House secretaries; 1 Mrs. Richey and Lieutenant Commander Joel T. Boone, the president's physician. Mr. Hoover decided late yesterday lto make the trip, sending White House aides scurrying to telephones to perfect arrangements. Four engagements,, including one the president had with ! the Japanese ambassador, were cancelled. The return trip to Washington will begin immediately after the game.

MAKE PLANS FOR COLGATE GAME Bloomington. Ind.. Oct. 14—Pat Page was looking around for some big men today tn practice of the Indiana University football team. Indiana will play Colgate University’s eleven Saturday i in memorial stadium, and the Colgate team is reputed to be one of the heaviest foes that the Hoosiers v> ill meet this season. Two of the biggest men on the Indiana team. Dudding. of Hope and Perkins, of Aaub, weight 210 pounds, but that means nothing when Colgate brings four men who can beat that number when they step on the weighing scales. Andy Kerr, Colgate mentor also has fifteen other men who will weigh over 190 potwids. Page hopes to pit speed on the line against weight. Colgate played Wisconsin this season and lost, 13-6. The Wisconsin team also is reputed to be extra heavy. Colgate was six points to the good until the latter part of the game. Page will need his heaviest backs to back up the line and insure Indiana against the heavy onslaughts of the Colgate backs. Fred Swan, former Stanford captain and an all-Pacific choice for guard has been coaching the Maroon forward wall this season. He has Bud Huntington and Harry Haines, both 200-poun-ders, holding down tackle positions. Bob Gillson and Tom Doyle are doing well at guards with Capt. Johnny Cox one of the finest centers in Maroon history, doing his stuff. On the flanks are Frank Abruzzitdo and Cy Sullivan. To .oppose this line of strength Coach Page, working with his line coaches. Otto Strohmeier, former allAmerican tackle, and E. C. Hayes, has rounded up a heavy combination. The line consists of Ringwait, Indianapolis, or Hojnacki. Detroit, either working at guard or center, and Shanahan, Goshen; guard, Unger, West Point, Miss . and Paul Jasper. Fort Wayne, tackles; Cat erton, Kenosha, Wis., and MacCracken. Monrovia, or Hansen, River Forest, 111., and Zeller, East Chicago, at ends. This combination, however, is only tentative. Page believes in picking out his starting lineup five minutes before the game starts rather than a week in advance. Indiana will have an advantage in that Colgate will have to cut its practice short this week in older to make he long trip from Hamilton, N. Y. while the Pagemen can practice Until the final day Today's drill consisted of Page’s usual lecture on weakness and strong points shown by Indiana in the game last Saturday. — o— Big Board Bill The •‘board" bill for Irhnbitants of the Chicago zoo la $25,000 annually.

CHICAGO GUBS IN HARO TEST Phlladlephla, Oct. 14. —(U.R) The Chicago Cubs faced one of the most trying tests in all world series annals today. < Manager Joe McCarthy hail to pick his pitcher from one of two men — Guy Hush, who has had only two days rest, or Pat Malone, who was knocked out of the box in tile second game. Unless the Cubs win today the world series is over. They were hanging on by the slender thread of a single game. . ' Out of the debris of Saturday’s catastrophe, the Cubs gathered their forces to wipe out the memory of that fatal seventh inning of fourth game which saw their eight run lead obliterated by a 10-run rally — the greatest in world series history. But for that astounding Philadelphia comeback, the series would be tied up at two games each and the teams would have to move to Chicago tonight to finish the series regardless of the outcome of today's game. Instead, the Athletics need only o.ie victory to win the world baseball championship, and the Cubs need three straight. Back in 1925, Pittsburgh beat Washington after the Senators hail won three of the first four games but the Pirates were never against as gre it an obstacle as the Cubs confronted today. Incidentally, it was Kfki Cuyler. Cubs’ right fielder, playing with Pittsburgh at that time, who punched out the hit that won the seventh game and championship for the Pirates. ‘ They say we quit and haven't the heart to stage acomeback now." Cuyler said. ‘'Sometimes it takes things just like this to bring out a ball club's real color. Things have certainly been against us but there's still hope yet. Not a member of the team is ready to concede the series to the Athletics. We are fighting to the last ditch." Few world series players have ever been criticized more than Hack Wilson, Cubs great center fielder who lost George Haas' fly to center field and permitted three runs to come home in the seventh inning of the fourth game. Other members of the Cubs have not come, through unscatched —they say Riggs Stephenson played Jimmv Dykes wrong and allowed his pop fly to drop safe and the two winning runs to score; they say Charley Root let down because he had an eight-run lead; they say Joe McCarthy blundered in his handling of relief pitcheis in the fatal inning. Fluke victory, the Cubs called the fourth game. “We have forgotten it,’’ Joe McCarthy said. As fijr the Athletics, they had three games in their bag, a pair of pitchers, Grove and Earnshaw, ready and the memory of their courageous fourth game triumph to pit against Chicago's apparently demoralized outfit. Betting men were willing to lay 8 to 5, with no takers, that the world series will be over tonight.

PREP GRIDOERS STAGE UPSETS By Dick Miller, Indianapolis, Oct. 14.—(U.R>—Northern Indiana was recovering today from the shock of a Saturday “prep’’ school grid upset, the 13-7 victory of South Bend over Emerson of Garv. South Bend took a walloping a couple of weeks ago at the hands of Michigan City and with the three Gary teams, Froebel. Horace Mann and Emerson, along with Goshen, tied for the leadership of the Northern Indiana conference, it was doped that Emerson would take South Bend. One of the leaders is off the top rung now and it was by far the biggest upset so far overshadowing the 40-6 defeat of Elkhart last week by Central of Fort Wayne. Froebel remained at the top by downing a strong Roosevelt team of East Chicago, 6-0, while Goshen had little trouble with the much trampled Mishawaka team, winning 26-6. Elkhart came back for a win again but against a weak team, Plymouth, winning 44-0. Horace Mann invaded Ohio again and this time hung up a. victory over the South team of Youngstown. The score was 32-7. Central of Fort Wayne found North Side tough in an inter city game winning only 14-6. South Side won -over Columbia City, 26-0. Kokomo, leader of the Big Ten. kept her slate clean, winning over Huntington 9-0. Tech of Indianapolis tripped up Linton, .7-6 in a Big Ten game while another encounter between Big Ten teams, Clinton and Central of Evansville, ended with Clinton on the long end of the count, 19-0. The Purple Eagles of Garfield continued undefeated and took another Terre Haute team Into camp in an inter-city game with a score of 12-0. Jasonville took Sullivan into camp. 6-0, scoring on an intercepted pass late in the game. Sullivan scored ten first downs to two for the Jasons but lacked the scoring punch. The Reitz team of Evansville, took a lacing at the hands of an out of state opponent, Moundsville of Kentucky.

fell gmggf ■ I”*'’ rj. Footbawls is stil picking the Cubs — And we don’t believe that Bluffton can come close to scoring against Decatur high school Yellow Jackets Octo ber 25. Also. WE STILL FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT AN OFFICIAL SHOULD CARRY OR HAVE ACCESS TO A RULE BOOK WHEN OFFICIATING ANY N. E. I. ATHLETIC EVENT. “Pat" Coffee, who used to knock the ball all over Shimrock field in Deca tur. when Deca ui boastsd oneiof th< greatest semi-pro baseball teams in the - Lite di opped In Satin day nigh with a little encouragement —He's still picking the Cubs, too - Us Itish an hard to convince. The local sport fans who saw the Purdue-Michigan grid game Saturday came home strong for the Boilerrnak er squad—Charley Knapp said the re suit of the game wasn't an upset at all—that Purdue just waited until the the last quarter to see just how many points were needed. At anv rate—and even if it is Purdin —it looks as if the old Hoosier s ate might have a Conference champion ship contender in the footbal race this year. It hurts Footbawls to say so—bed we hope that Purdue stays at the top all season. And just another Indiana University football team lost to Chicago Saturday The Yellow Jackets got heat at Penland -The Cubs lost a tough one to the Athletics — And someone had the nerve to say "pleasant dreams" to Footbawls Sat urday night. The sport writers over at the west suburb have withdrawn their gun which were formerly pointed in this direction —Oh, once in a while they poke fun, but they've certainly showed the wear and tear of an unfortunate football season —and things don’t look ■o bright over there for basketbal either. Bi t Bluffton always has a good stieet fair. Dick Macklin. Chalmer Reber, Har old Blythe, Hugh Engle and Harry Baumgartner were tied in the guessing contest on the Decatur-Portland gi.me. Guess the tour boys will have ;o draw cuts and the two winners will get a ticket each lot the Deca ur- Bluff ton game October 25. There were 71 guesses. About 10 out of the JI guessers picked Portiaiffl all the way from one point to 10 points Decatur goes to Fort Wayne Wednesday afternoon to play Central Tigers. Footbawls hopes the boys will play their best—lt’s tough enough to play the Tigers with full-strength but with two or three men out —it's going to be hard to hold ’em—Do your best Yellow Jackets. Congratulations, Bluffton—we’ll see you October 25. Huntington Vikings lost at. jther football game this week-end—continu ing their losing streak whictrhas not been marred all season. In all probabilities the postponed baseball games in the Adams County league will be played Wednesday of this week. The important gaitie is the clash between Monmouta and Kirk land—if the Haggardmen win. first place will be divided between Mon mouth and Monroe—Then possibly a three-game series will be played to determine the winner. There are two Bryan brothers coachng Adams county teams this year. Bill Bryan is chief mentor at Kirkland and Lloyd "Piney" Bi yan is chief conn •ellor at Monroe. Bith-are regarded as good coaches —and both schools promise to have good net teams in the field this season. If you noticed the prices at Joe Lose’s restaurant slightly higher thte week it is because of a $2.75 deficit in Joe's pocketbook since his return from Chicago last week where he in company with Hub Schmitt, Martie Mylott and Dec Lose witnessed the first two games of the world series. The game was over and Joe was in a rush to get back to the Hotel—The street cars all looked alike-Joe jumped on one and after riding for several hours for a nickel —the conductor announced “Everybody out" —Tlie car had leached the car barn and was going to bed for the night— Joe called a taxi and returned to the hotel—s2.7s wiser,—but out. o Notice Special meeting of the Beta Sigma Alpha at 7: .

UPSETS MARK BIG TEN PLAY CliietMCo. Oct. II (U.R>—"Watch Purdue!" As the Big Ten football teams.j fighting either to continue ott their winning ways or to erase defeat blots already registered nguihst them, went out to practice today, thet slogan seemed uppermost In western conference circles. The apprehension regarding that Boileimilker outfit which Coach Jim my Phelan Ims molded together came as the result of the startling 30-16 victory which the Lafayette team scored over Michigan Saturday. Incidentally the Purdue victory was only one of four upsets which occurred during t lie day's play. Not in recent history have four ion ference games gone so against the predictions as those did Saturday. Before the day's play, Michigan was •avored to defeat Purdue: Wisconsin was looked to for a victory over Northwestern: Chicago was expected to lose to Indiana: ami lowa figured to beat Ohio State. The results were the opposite. Purdue beat Michigan. 30-16; Chicago beat Indiana. 13-7; lowa lost to Ohio State, 7-6; and Northwestern won from Wisconsin, 7-6.. Doubtless the Purdue victory was the most astounding. Playing a team which was conceded a good chance to win ths year’s Big Ten title, tile Boilermakers literally ran rings around Coach Harry Kipke's Michigan aggregation. And it may lie said that the team which played the better football won. Coach Phelan has a great backfield - a backfield which tore holes through Michigan’s tackles almost at will. The three Purdue runners. Glen Harmeson, Pest Welch and Alex Yunevich, looked to he as great a running combination as the conference has seen in years. All three of them are great in an open field. Harmeson and Welch already had proved their ability but this boy Yurevich who is a sophomore showed both as the veterans how things should be accomplished. He smashed the tackles, he ran the ends and he proved he knew how to dive over a line when he scored a touchdown in that manner. Phelan may consider himself fortunate to discover a sophomore who •an play as well as Yunevich. But above everything else, the Purdue fighting ahil ty must be ranked. Those Boilermakers, going into the third quarter had a 6-0 lead and then hey watched the Wolverines get every break imaginable for two touchdowns and a field goal which put Michigan into the lead of 16-6 at the end of the third quarter. That Purdue backfield got into action in the final session and before the period was over had scored four touchdowns. » Northwestern's defeat of Wisconsin

They use Wyandot—because it can’t scratch the finest paint and enamel, because it preserves and freshens the finish, and because it provides complete cleanliness and sanitation. Comparative tests prove the superiority of Wyandot. Great institutions have used nothing else for years. Now you can get Wyandot for your own home.
