Mother Jones was first stricken : last December while here visiting the Burgesses. Since then she has b c en in bed.

Everything is utter quiet. Mother Jones' room is the best in the house, a large cne with win dows looking out over the farm She lies swathed with blankets in a g:eat. mahogany four post bed.

Chicago, Nov. 25 U.R; -Notre Dame, one of tlie nation's four un-| defeated and untied teams, and | Northwest rn. co-champion of the i Big Ten. share a majority of the' places on the mythical all-western! ootball team selected today by thei 'n ted Press. With twelve places c.n the first I am. including an alternate, Notre| Dame players were awarded four if them. Noithwestern three, and Michigan, Purdue. Ohio State. N - naska and Haskd! one each. Numbered among this first doz-i en are some of the country's g eat-1 ?st gridiron stars. Capt. Conley f Notre I): me and Frank Baker of Northwestern are two of the inest ends of the year. Wesley Fesler of Ohio State, who iom:s close to being the greatest 1 ill-round player of the year in the! Big Ten rec ived the alternate: ierth < n the first team. Fesler' dayed end on def nse. and in the >ackfield on offense. “I feel that Fesler is not only I ne of tire best ends in the conn- 1 ry, but one of the vety bast hacks 's well, comm nted Coach Sam W'laman. "He s a great kicker.j >all earlier and passer. A fine! blocker ami an exceptional field; reneral.” Every member of the backfield is; a candidate for all Am rica leeog - nition. Frank Carideo. Notre Dame quarterback, who won all-America; honors last season, has piloted his;

team thr'ugh 17 straight victories | in two years without a defeat or! tie. Marchv Schwartz, whose long \ tins hav featured almost ev ry' Notre Dame victory, is one of the •ountry's most dangerous runners. He also is a superb passer. Weller, 155 pound Haskell Indian halfback, is considered the best tinning back ever developed in the Missouri valley region. Reb Russell, Northwestern fullback. is the middle west’s foremost plung r. He gained more ground than any player on either team in j the Notre Dame-Northwestern; game. An ther all-western nominee who! s bidding for a berth on the all-! \mer ca team is litth Bert Mstz-I er, 153-pound Not e Dame guard! vho is considered the fifth man in he 1 ish backfield. Most of Notre Dame’s lon* runs have been direct'y traceabl- to great blocking by M tzger. Wade Woo.lw rth, Northwestern's I ipectacular guard. was a star in ■ne of the best lines in any sec-! ion. Woodworth’s speed and; agility made it possible for him to j play his position like an end. The tackles, Rhea of Nebraska I nd Van fjjblnr, rs Purdue, both' were powerful defensive players.' Rhea, weighing 195 pounds, was considered the best lineman in the big six. • Michigan’s powerful defensive ,c am which had only 23 points; scored on it was built around May-' lard Morrison, 210 pound center. He was never outplayed in a series if hard games. c WILL OBSERVE FIFTIETH WEDDING irrNTINTTED FROM PAGE ONE* day's decorations cf yellow and gold, and flowers of the colors will be arranged about the rooms.

York. Indications were, forecast-! ! ors sa'd. that the entire northern ! 1 half of the nation would be shiver- j , ing under low temperatures by, Thanksgiving. Temperatures in the Chicago rpg : on dropped toward 20 above | tod->v. but the snowfall which -nntinund steadily yesterday had -stonned.
