BLUFFTON AND DECATUR READY Tin l feature game of Decatur ami Bluffton high schools' grid Reasons will he played in this city Friday afternoon at Country Club foot bull field at 3 o'clock. Both teams are ready for the annual struggle, it was reported today. The Bluffton athletic officials today certified tte players which they contemplate using in tomorrow's battle. They include K. Wornock. D. Tappy, Bender. Day. Kain, J. Hesher, N. Paxson, Archbold, Nerte. Toman. Penrod. Brenneman, High. Young. W. Hesher. R. Hesher, K. Myers. Nehf, Pyle. Thompson an dEmschweiler. Neither school couch would announce a starting lineup and plans of both teams were a closely guarded secret. It is thought however that neither team will resort to the aerial bethod of attack la-cause of the rainy I weather and wet condition of the I field. Rain and a wet field should favor the Yellow Jackets because the Bluffton aggregation is considerably heavier than the local team. A close, hard game is anticipated and few fans would venture a prediction as to the outcome of the game. On many occasions when one of the two teams appears 30 or 40 points better than the other, a complete reversal is carried out in the game. Both teams have been pointing to tomorrow's game. The game will start promptly at 3 o’clock. Geller. Bauer and Tudor, all of Fort Wayne, will officiate at the game. _— o EXPOSE SHOWS HIGH SALARIES New York. Oct. 24 —(U.R) 'The average salary of the head footbal coaches at about 100 institutions investigated in the (Wnegie Foundation’s survey on American college athletics was s6.lo7—almost SI,OOO more than the highest paid full professor at these, schools. When paid by the athletic associv tion. the full time head football coach \ averaged $6,466 a year, and when pa. l by the colleges themselves. $5,058 The highest salary was $14,000, the I lowest SI,BOO. Staggering sums are lavished upon, coach’ng and training at numerous, institutions, the report says. Expenditures at eight schools —Harvard. lowa, Ohio State. New York University, Pennsylvania. University of Washington. Wisconsin and Yale—have run as high as $81,600 for all branches of sport and $41,800 for varsity and freshman football. In this group the lowest figure for football coaching is $15,000. “Such expenditures for coaching and training clearly reflect a distorted scale of academic and athletic values.’’ the report says. The highest paid coaches hold their jobs, on the average, a little more than five years. The tenure of the football coach, according to the report. is coming "less ami less to depend upon victory." The athletic authorities at Cornell, Harvard and lowa have proved through action that victory is not essential for the coach to hold his job. Under the hygiene of athletic training it was brought out that one football coach in 1926 administered caffein tables to his team in the final game. Another coach stated that as a player he had seen given strychnin tablets by his former coach. At another college a football coach offered to inject cocaine in the leg of a player so that the pain would not deter him from entering an important game. . —o School Authorities Comment On Expose Following is the comment of virions University athletic authorities following the expose of the Carnegie Foundation committee charging that many ; college athletes are paid for their services: Indiana I Athlete Diiector Z. A. Clevenger): — “Indiana always has tried to conduct its althsltics on asi clean and high a plane as possible." Western Conference (Maj John L. Griffith, Commissioner of Athlletles) —"The report does not give a fair picture of the Rig Ten. We have nothing to be ashamed of. 1 think 1 am better informed of Big Ten athletic conditions that any investigator for the Carnegie Foundation. And 1 honestly believe the Western Intercoll'J;ia.t.e Conference Universities are cleaner in rgard to proselyting and subsidizing athletes that are any other ten universities any one can name." Michigan (Director Fielding H. Yost) —“I know of no system of agents operating either on or off the campus to recruit athletes for the University of Michigan. I would be glad to have any information regarding the same.” Northwestern (Coach Dick Hanley): —“I haven't seen the report, and I can not speak for the years when I was not coach here. Bpt 1 can say for this year

there Is no ’intensely organized' recruiting or subsidizing Northwestern has the small-st football squad of any Big Ten school and we have lost 21 ' players through scholastic Inteligibil lliy." Lebanon Valley (Dr. C. I>. Gossard, President): "What Is sail is true. | practically all colleges do it. We are I com peled to. Here we give a certain I number of scholarships, 15 in all. to athlete-, in addition to other scholarI ships." , > Harv.nd iM. J. Hingham. Director of 1 Athletics): "In 1925, 102 students received remuneration. about half of ’ whom were non-Athlet. s. Tne amount of money each received wis small. When it was pointed out to us this sys em was open (b possible abuse we turned over all the concessions to the university employment office '' Penn State (R. 1). Hetz.-zl. President): “Pennsylvania State College is unqualifiedly opposed to athletic subsidies. Athletic scholarships were discontinued by th- Athleth Council in 1527." FOOTBALL STAR SHOWS ABILITY Minneapolis. Minn., Oct. 24.— (U.R) — An outstanding star as a freshman and expected to blossom out as a varsity leader in his sophomore year. Art Pharmer, Minnesota's newest hackfield sensation sat on the bench for two years before he achieved his present recognition. When Art became a sophomore he was forced to sit around and watch Herb Joesting, Shorty Almquist, Bob Peplaw and Maliy Nvdahl do their chores on the football field. Everybody said Art was good hut nobody . seemed to think he was better than ; the proven stars. I Then in his junior year. Pharmer 1 I was not in the best of condition, and - of course there was the matter of t Bronko Nagurski who was playing a i bang-up fullback game. Last Saturday Art was the driving force which allowed Minnesota to beat Northwestern. He scored two touchdowns, two field goals and two points af.er touchdowns, incidentally those 20 points allowed him to be- s i come the present Big Ten scoring i I leader. < The most noticeable point about < Pharmer's play is his coolness under s tire, in 1927 lie calmly strolled out ■ from the bench and kicked a goal for | a point after touchdown which allowed Minnesota to tie Notre Dame, 7-7. Playing in the last game of the 1928 season he picked up a fumble behind his own goal line and dived over two would-be tacklers into safe territory, preventing a safety. And by the way if you don't know him on the field when t vu see Mlnne sota. just watch Tor (he bow-legged t boy who is a master at spinning 1 through the tackles. < n | HIGH SCHOOL GAMES THIS WEEK-END i r Friday Decatur vs. Bluffton.

Rythm Kings would play for the Pep Champs dance at the Maconis hall Friday night. James Fiistoe called at the Daily Democrat office today stating that his son. True Fristoe was in Baltimore, Md , where he is conducting a 30-piece orchestra for the Burt Smith Musical Comedy Co. The error was made unintentionally according to the committee which reported the story to the Daily Democrat. Mr. Fristoe aided in drilling the Rythm Kings while he was here this summer, but he is not now connected with the orchestra. 0 — Set the Habit —4 rade at Homs, It Payr

This same method is now being used for a home treatment of goitre cases all over the country with astonishing results. The Doctor states that goitre is a condition which grows worse with neglect and recommends immediate attention no matter how small the growth may appear. He strongly opposes needless operations. Dr. Rock is the author of a book that tells in a simple way about treating goitre at home. He has published this book at his own expense and will send a copy free to anvone Interested.

hvant to tell you how I coaxed him to eat"Once I was worried—mealtime was getting on my nerves. 1 prepared many appetizing dishes, but John simply would not eat—just ‘minced’ at his food. Perhaps sometimes a little grouchy. I began to fear he was ‘slipping.’ What was 1 to do? Love, home, happiness, business success —all depended upon an improvement in his condition. The blood tonic idea suggested itself to me. My Druggist recommended S.S.S. John agreed to try it. Well, in just a few days I could see the difference. His improvement has been so rapid he is going to take several more bottles, and not only that, but he is now telling his friends to take S.S.S.” Loss of appetite only a symptom It is a known fact that when one’s system gets “run-down,” they haven’t the resistance to ward off , diseases. Loss of appetite is only a symptom. General weakness pervades the entire body. There is no desire to work or ' ' play. Without plenty of rich, red blood, lU'jj y* there could be no strong, sturdy 1| | powerful men, or 111 - beautiful, healthy V—- j women. iJsss
