COLUMBIA CITY BEATS DECATUR IN CRID GAME Local Team Shows Improvement But Weakens In Last Period A greatly improved Decalur hitfh school Ye low .Jacket football team fought on even terms with a veteran Columbia Citv grid aggregation during the first half of a game at Decatur high school athletic field Saturday afternoon and then bowed to the visitors bv a count of 25-6. 'Die local team showed much iinprovement over a week wgo. but the constant drive of a veteran team weakened the Inca's in the closing period. Both teams made long gains at ' times, but the local team, was un-1 fltrte to cope with the speed and smash of the Columbia City team. I In the closing seconds of the game tjpratur was still fighting hard and low I the ball on the visitors’ six-! Inch line after a march of 80-yards straight down the field. The game was still new when; Shultz. Decatur half back, received a Columbia City punt and ran > through the entire Columbia City! team for the goal. 70 yards away, i In making the race for the six-1 pointer, Shultz did some great run-1 uiiig. After an exchange of punts and n Decatur fumble Windle took the ball for the visitors and on three attempts carried the ball over for n marker making the count 6-6. Secrist kicked goal to make it 7-6 for Columbia City. The rest of the first quarter was played about even with each teem crashing out some long gains only to lose the ball. Buffenlhrg-! er was the mainstay in driving the | ball down to the Columbia City 23yard line, but the visitors strengthened at this point in the second period and punted out of danger, ft was the only scoring threat of! the second period. The quarter' was decisively Decatur’s and the' bigger and more experienced Co ! lumbia City team appeared wor-i ried. Decatur had possession of! the ball when the half ended. Secrist kicked to Decatur at the ! opening of the third period. On[ the first play. Columbia City recovered a fumble on the Decatur! 13 yard line. Secrist went around | left end for a touchdown after the | Decatur line had held twice. Secrist’s attempt for goal was blocked. Score. Decatur 6: Columbia City. 13. Decatur received at the kick-off and carried the ball deep into the enemy territory with four, first downs. After failing to gain, Buffenharger punted. The third m.arter slowed down and both teams were content to try a couple of plafs and then punt. Columbia City gained several yards on the I exchange of punts. In the closing quarter Columbia, City succeeded in negotiating a series of passes. Secrist went over for another marker but the attempt •

A good crowd was in attendance. Coach Horton indicated dissatisfaction with several of the players bv sending in substitutes.

1931 BASEBALL - SEASON CLOSES o r 1 New York. Sept. 28—(UP)—The 1931 baseball season came to end yesterday with seven games in the ] National League and five in the American. i The feature of the day was proI vided by Chick Hafey. outfielder of I the St. Louis Cardinals, who mano aged to nose out Bill Terry of the New Yok Giants, for the batting championship of the National league by getting two hits out of eight times at bat. The unofficial average give Hafey a mark of .3489 against .3486 for Terry. ? Rain cost Terry the championship. After getting one hit in the , first inning of the second game a--3 gainst Brooklyn he withdrew from I the game, knowing he was ahead of Rafey. The hit went for naught, I however, when the contest was call- i I ed at the end of the third inning | > because of darkness. i The final standing in the Nation-' ; al league show that only two clubs, > New York and Philadelphia, finish ! t ed better than in 1930.

Sept. 28—(UP)—Philadelphia’s Athletics, The St. Louis Cardinals and some millions of baseball fans today flew into the calm which precedes the storm. The Major league seasons closed yesterday. The world series will start Thursday in St Louis. The Cards left Cincinnati after their closing season contest and will go through routine pre-serles • practices on their home lot. The Athletics finished the American league season against the Yankees here and today were in Philadelphia for a rest before entertaining for St. Louis Tuesday evening. Meantime the 30,000 to 40,000 tans will see each game and the millions who will watch newcpapers score boards and listen to radio reports were having the time of their lives "doping” the series. All hands seem to be agreed that it will be a more closely fought series than the one of 1930 when the Athletics won four of the six games played, apparently without work-

I ing up a good sweat. However, the experts, amateurs ! and professional, are wondering . how successful the Cards will be . ■ against the pitching of Lefty Grove I! and George Ernshaw, aces of the ! A's staff. The schedule, incidentally favors ’ the Athletics. Manager Connie Mack could stat Grove on Thursday, Earnshaw on Friday, and have each fresh for new labors when play is assumed in Philadelphia one 1 ’! week from today. Several factors favor the Cardin-1 I al suporters’ hopes of victory. The ‘ r law of averages is all against the ’ Athletics—Against Grove's chance lof adding to his year’s record of ’ I 31 victories. It’s also against Mack's atempt to win three consecutive championships , a feat as yet not accomplished. St. Louis should improve on last | year's hitting which showed only 56 total base hlts’in 190 turns at bat ! against 67 total bases in 178 at bat j made by the A s. So the conversation go. but they don't mean much, for anything can ! happen in a bail game, and in series ! play it usually does. ~ o 500 ATTEND MEN’S MEETING PAGE OXEI chorus furnished the music.

So it is in the manufactureof Chesterfield cigarettes. Expert chemists test all the materials that are used in any way in Chesterfield’s manufacture, to make sure that everything that goes into Chesterfield is just right. THE LEAF TOBACCO IS PURE. Long steel ovens —drying machines of the most modern type —scientifically “dry” and clean and purify the natural tobacco leaves by exact high-temperature treatment. Then the shreds of cut tobacco, as you 7 s ) see them in your Chesterfield, are again - heated, cleaned and purified. From these pure tobaccos the cigarettes are made, and ' only the purest paper —the best that can be / z ' made—is used for Chesterfield.

IRISH TEAM IS MYSTERY — Chicago. Sept. 28. — (U.K) —Notre Dame’s first footbal team in 20 years without Knute Rockne will open the 1931 season Saturday against Indiana. Since 1911 when Rockne played; end he had been identified with I 1 Notre Dame football as player, assistant coach and head coach. 1 Rockne's loss to Notre Dame foot- . ball cannot be measured now It : may take years for the final answer. In speculating on what effect 1 Rockne's absence will have on the •1931 team it is well to go back to; the season of 1929 when the late! Notre Dame coach was ill and ab-; sent from his team during six games. Rockne's spirit hovered • over the 1929 team while he lay dangerously ill at South Bend, and the Fighting Irish battled their way through a difficult schedule to the i national championship. Speaking on Notre Dame's prosj pects for a third national champI iqnship team, Jesse Harper, who has returned to Notre Dame as •athletic director, said: "It is ask j ing too much of any team to go •through a third straight season . without defeat." But Rockne would ask it. and the members of the 1931 Notre Dame team know he would ask it. HeartI t ly Anderson, senior coach, and Jack Chevigny, junior coach, will not have to give this year's Notre Dame team any inspirational talks between halves. It is silently understood among the players that the season is dedicated to the late, coach who crashed in an airplane ~ ■' ■ . - .

accident on a lonely Kansas prairie last March. Notre Dame has another potential national championship squad, i Rockne knew that when he arranged another of his typical “suicide schedules." The supreme test will come against Northwestern October 10. Coach Anderson, as well as everyone else, realizes that. “If we can get past Northwestern we have a good chance to go through the season undefeated.” said Anderson. But Northwestern is gunning for Notre Dame, and making no mistakes about it. Football fans sensed many weeks ago that the Notre Dame-Northwestern game will be one of the greatest football games ! ever played. Already more than 96,000 tickets have been sold and the crowd may be the largest ever • to see a football game. As for Notre Dame’s team, the big question is to replace Frank Carideo, Joe Savoldi and Marty Brill, three-fourths of last’s year's great backfield. Carideo will be the hardest one to replace. If Jaskwhich. Murphy or Vejar, the three quarterbacks candidates, prove half as good as Carideo, Notre Dame will have little reason to worry about that position. Ixist year's line is back almost intact, and Harchy Schwartz, the best running back erf 1930. is the bulwark of this year's backfield. Notre Dime’s first team probably will lineup as follows: Kosky. le; Culver. ltd; Harrlss, Ig; Yarr, (C), c; Hoffman, rg; Urth, rt; Mahony, re; Jackwhich. qb; Schwartz, Ihb; Sheeketski, rhb; Lukats. fb. The shock troops lineup probably will be: Host, le; Krause, It; Greeney. Ig; Rogers, c; Pierce, rg; Kozac. rt; Devore, re; Murphy, qb; Koken. Ihb; Cronin, rhb; Mel-
