WILDCATS LOOK GOOD ON PAPER — Chicago. Nov. I.- 'U.R)—U's time I tn look over the undefeated North I western football team and see what I ntnksa it go. The Wildcats have won flvej straight feames and appeared head , ed for a certain tie, at hast, for | the* Big Ten championship. West-1 era, and even national honors, are within reach of Northwestern, but i the harrier to this ambitious goal’ is Notre Dame. i Northwestern hasn't b en extend ! ed in defeating Taulne. Ohio State. 1 Illinois, Centre and Minnesota, 1 and it’s quite possible that it will I take Notre Dame to apply the acid j test to Dick Hanley's Wildcats. Vet'rans who have been under! Ifntiiey since be came to Northwestern from the Haskell Indians isT 1927 form the backbone of the WiLdcatT 1 winning combination. STt members of the first eleven, are. playing their third year, three • are playing their second year and j two are sophomores. Northwestern's first-string lineup follows: Yrs. on Name Pos. Team Wt. Frank Baker. L.E. 3 171 EvMstc n. 111. Jack. Riley. L.T. 2 210 Wilmette. 111. Wade Woodworth, L.G. 3 191 Evanston. 111. Bob Clark. C. 3 182 Detrbit. Mich. James Evans, R.G. 2 173' t'h’eago. 111.

E: nest R.-ntner, F.B. 1 184 Joliet. 111. Baker. Woodworth, Russell. Han-1 ley, Bruder and Rentner are thei outstanding stars, but the remark-1 able thing about every man on the! team —and maybe that’s why they I are winning—is his diligent performance assignments. Seldom does a North w: stern player just go through the motions out there on the field. Tackling, blocking, or whatever the assignment, the Northwestern players are leveling cn every play. They resemble professionals the way th?y tackle their jobs. Baker, the hawk-like end. and j Woodworth, the running guard wifi ) the flaming red hair ihe plays without a h?lmet), usually attract) the most attention from the spec ) tatoi s because of their spectacular work in the open.

I season Baker has pulled down passes for touchdowns, Wood- ) worth’s red head seems to b? bobbing up in every play. i if ever there was an all-star back- ! field put together, this Northwesti era quartet is one. Every man in i the group can do just about everyth ng in the book. The opposition never can tell what to expect from I them. One time, Hanley, who calls ) signals from right halfback post- | lion, may pass to Bruder. The i next time Bruder may pass to Hanley. Rentner may slant off tackle lor a spinner and then toss a lateral pass to Russell. I The hardest hitter of the groups 'is Russell, who is fast, powerful, I and hard to stop. Rentner ami ■ I Hanley are the best open field run-| 1 tiers. Bruder, a tower of strengthl ' on the defense, is perhaps the best) all-around player of the group. And I j not the least important thing about) |all four is their ability to block. 0 !■ ■ " —* Decatur high school season ba ketball tickets are on sale— The cards are selling for $4.00 for 10 games and can be secured from Principal W.

KIDCHOCOLATE ' GETS BEATING 11 , New York. Nov. 4 —(VP) — For two years. Kid Chocolate of Cuba 'fought without losing a bout, saved) ’ i his money and laid away nearly a I i qua ter of million dollars. 1 T.ien. last summer, a decision! ’; went against him, and he announced I ' that he was through witli the ring.) Since that time, they say, the little ! negro who had shown such estim-) • able restraint in victory, started to I ' burn the candle at both ends. Chocolate tried u come-back last) • night, against Fidel l a Barba, the I •former flyweight champion of the j world, and was promptly and eflec-l i ively punched into submission. The I I bout which drew a capacity crowd I )of more than 20,0ud to Madison j i Square Carden was so one-sided it I was uninteresting. The cuhan enterled the ring an 8 to 5 favorite and j was beaten from the first punch to i the last. | La Barba, who retired himself! I some time ago to study to be ado j j tor. stamped himself as the out's anding contender for the feather- , weight championship by decisively defeating Chocolate, forcing the I fighting from the first hell to the last and winning seven of the I<‘ I I rounds by a wide margin. Chocolate, who was trained down , •to 123 pounds, lacked his former) speed and dash, ami missed badl ■ | with his usually deadly right, while La Barba, righting confidently and I i aggressively, pounded the Kid’* | 'body with a deadly two-handed at-i ' tack and smothered every attempt I ■of the negro to counter. La Barba, at 124 pounds was | strong and aggressive, and fought a calculating well-timed battle, li-j never gave the Cuban a chance to get set. and while the coast boy never threatened to knocK out his man. he obviously was the winner 1 before the bout was half over. La Barba will meet Bud Taylor : >f Terre Haute, here November 28, ■ and the winner will be recognized ias the outstanding featherweight >f the world, despite the fact that | he title now is held by Bat Batiaino of Ha.tford, Conn. o ILLINOIS WILL CAST BIG VOTE ) (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE : I interest and p.ospective heavy voting as M .

At dawn, uniformed police, detective squads and thousands of watchers went to the polling places to guard against violence and fraud. No outbreaks were anticipated by 1 police commissioner John H. Alcock I out he assigned two policemen by j every booth, sent 4u squads to I cruise the ’ badland’’ wards and I held other squads in reserve for emI urgencies. The watchers, hired by civic organizations and the candidates themselves, stood by to guard against "repeaters" in wards where registration lists were higher than in torme. years despite the fact .he census showed a diminished population There were a host of candidates’ names on the 133 tons of ballots sent to Cook county polling places, but the Senatorial race overshadowed all of them. The three candidates closed their three week's campaign in Cook county ia t night with bands,' par ades and redfire in the loop. With that spectacle as a background they made their last speeches over the . .adio and directly to the voters. Mrs. McCormick spoke early from WENR, summing up her campaign by reiterating her pledge to abide jy me proliiuition referfendum, to work with President Hoover to re lieve unemployment and again vow.ng to fight .he world court in tiie senate. Lewis, speaking from the same station later, made it clear he was running as a wet, accused Mrs. McCormick of excessive expenditures in her primary campaign and predicted victory for the entire Democratic state ticket. M.s. O'Neil closed with a speech in which she said tliat Mrs. McCorniic k had strayed from the Republican ranks by wavering on prohibi.ion and forecasting t£at voters ; would turn to her own candidacy. The candidates battled until mid ) night with orators and band music before they turned over their destinies to the voters. All three predicted victory. Lewis manager put his candidate’s plurality, at 300,000. Mrs. McCormick claimed more than a 200,000 plurality. Mrs. O'Neil made no estimate, but was equally certain she would win. — *-o Card of Thanks The family wishes to convey its appreciation to the pastor and choir for their kindly services, the friends neighbors, and all others for their i many tributes of friendship, an I I for the beautiful floral offerings. ) May God bless you all.

by Republ'can leaders. Members of the House are being elected today in 47 states. Maine having held its election in September. A total of 431 House mem-j bers are being chosen. Maine elected four. Thirty-four senators are being elected in 33 states. There are gubernatorial elections, n 32 states. As now constituted, the House! 1 • divide'l as follows; Republicans, 263; Democrats, 164; Farmer-La-t'or, one. and seven vacancies.: There are 56 Republicans in the Senate at present, 39 Democrats.’ and one Farmer-Labor member. j Pevond the, major immediate; ■onsideration. ’nvolving the country's reaction to President Hoov-j | °r’s handling of such issues as the , ; tariff, farm relief, the business dei pre-sion and the like, and the pub- | <ic nterest in the prohibition controversy. the congressional and tate elections today ruu off into | numerous other currents. . . Thev may have an important 1 hearing on the political future of President Hoover and on the presj idential hopes of other outstanding , figures, notably Governor Frankln iD. Roosevelt of New York, Governor Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland, Senator Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas, Robert J. Bulkley of ' Ohio, Dwight W. Morrow of New i Jen'ey and Gifford Pinchot of ! Pennsylvania. , Running in and out of congresj donal and state contests throughout the country is the prohibition , sue. and this seems to over- . shadow most others in public inI '“rest, even though the business depression is expected to affect I rnanv voters. Wets do not expect to get a majority in congress, which appears practically Impossible, but 'hey count on the psychological effect of gains they hope to make, 1 figuring a strong trend toward I 'heir side would over many i half-hearted prohibitionists. Thev have concentrated their attention on many congressional I districts where the issue is doubtful, on referendums in four states, Massachusetts, Illinois, Rhode Is- \ land and Wyoming, and on SenaI torial elections where victory would command attention such as the election of J. Hamilton Lewis,

John Albert Galen. Republican wet, who is seeking to unseat the veteran Democratic senator Thomas J. Walsh in Montana, and Marcus A. Coolidge, wet Democrat, who is opposing Wili am N Butler, Republican dry. in Massachusetts. Democratic hopes were high today. The party faced a tremend- ! ous task In the election of a Democratic congress, but they were optimist'm of the work of |’heir new political machine which |’hey built upon the wreckage of ■ 1928. President Hoover and Republican leaders looked with some sat-. : isfact on at the majorities which ) they rolled up in congress in 1928, ; which gives the Democrats a good deal to whittle down. * Democrats would h- vo to elect ’37 candidates, in addition to the 81 who are unoppo ed, to win control of the house of representatives. This would necessitate vieto**es in what are considered strong Republican districts. In the senate, they would have to elect 18 in 34 contests to gain numerical control, while the Republicans have to elect only 13. A House maiority is 218, a Senate majority, 49. | But even though the Democrats j ilo not gain actual control, they are given a splendkl chance to ini < rea<e their strength enough to form in both houses and senate 'effective coalitions with western; ) insurgent Republicans—such coali-) | tions as were in action for a time during the Coolidge administration, in Trotli houses and last ses-ion in tiie senate. Most estimates do) not figure over 20,000,000 in the j election today. Failure to get out the full vote may prove the decisive factor toI day in several close contests which have attracted much atten- , tion. Democrats are making a strong ) bid in lllino’s. Oh ! o and Massa- , chusetts, with the issue apparent- ) ly dose in the Lewis-McCotmick, i the Bulkley-McCulloch and the ) Coolidge-Butler races.

There is a difference of 175.000 votes between the rival claims of Heflin and Bankhead, the Democrat!: I cast-off claiming he will sweep the state by 10,000, while Bankhead’s managers assert Heflin will be repudiated by at least 75,000 votes.
