GRUDGEGAMES ARE SCHEDULED Chicago, Oct. 30 —<UP) —Games tinged with the bitterness of ageold rival y mark the football program offered middlewestern gridiron followers tomorow. 'And to heighten interest, Wisconsin and Minnesota will meet in Minneapolis in a game that may have a drect bearing upon the outcome’of the Western Conference- race for obtball supremacy. Other highlights are Michigan’s attempt to avenge a 50-year old defeat by Princeton and Note - Dame’s annual intersections! battle with Carnegie Tech. The Minnesota Wisconsin affair is 'being ‘ watched with interest. Neither team has been defeated in conference play this season and each is ranked as a possible contender with Northwestern tor Big Ten honors. Michigan followers hold high■ hopes of Wolverine victory over t ie Princeton Tigers. They recall a disastrous eastern trip made by MichUan just 50 years ago when in tlu; space of five days. Michigan was defeated by Yale, Harvard and Princeton —The latter by a score of! 13 to 4. Since 1925, however. Mich igan has won four times, lost once and tied once in its battles with eastern teams. Notre Dame left last night for Pittsburgh in search of its 23rd victory in 24 starts. Also. Coach Heartly Anderson seeks revenge for a 19 to 0 defeat given the, 1 ish by Carnegie in 1926 wh >n he handled the team for Knute Rockne. Northwestern, the leading contender for Big championship, renews a bitter feud with Illinois.and with Russell, Ken Meenan and Harold Weldin on the sidelinges ■ with injuries, the Wildcats face a stiff battle. Illinois is said to have ' wo.ked -strenuously on a defense calculated to stop "Put” Rentner whose passing and end runs accounted largely for its downfall last year. The Indiana Hoosiers spent the week developing an aerial attack to I be used against Ohio State at i Bloomington, and Coach E. C. Hayes was confident his squad ! an even chance against the fast■ buckeye backfield. Purdue travels to Chicago for a renewal of its feud with the Mar-1 oons. Os the 36 games played be-! tween the schools. Purdue has won ■ only eight and half of those in the last four years.

Minn., Oct. 29. —(U.R) ’ —The apparently fictitious offers ( of 11.500 each to three Minnesota football players to “throw'’ the J Minnesota-Wisconsin game Satur-I ( day continued to cause excitement' on the U. of Minnesota campus to-' i day, but they were taken to be' ■the work of some “crank" or jok- 1 jester. j* The letters were received by j Capt. Clarence Munn. all-Big Ten ’ guard last year, Jaqk Nanders, giant ' fullback, and Kenneth MacDougall, 1 148-pound quarterback, the three! outstanding stars on the Gophers, i MacDougall scored two touchdowns t and made an 88-yard run last week I against lowa. Fritz Crisler, Minnesota coach i v and director of athletics, did not t take the letters seriously, but said | he planned to turn them over to I1 ithe postal authorities today for in-1 vestigation. The letters were mail- ( ‘ed from Madison, site of the Uni- n versity of Wisconsin, and signed <i A. W. Burzik." The contents and’t signature were typed on Hotel Lor- I aine stationery. t In a telephone conversation with ! Coach Crisler. the manager of the 1 1 Loraine hotel revealed that no such; c : person as “A. W. Burzik" had been I ' registered there. The letters, all the same, read: “Dear Friend: m "If you will do your best to throw ■ the game away to the Badgers this ( ! coming Saturday, and provided the! Badgers win. I will present you • with $1,500 in bills. The money; 2 will be in your possession late Sat-; urday night. You do not have to 2 answer this letter, but let your 2 work Saturday earn you some real} money, instead of glory." Letters of a similar nature were ' received by two Minneapolis sports I writers, asking them to use their; influence in making Minnesota a 1 heavy favorite and promising each 1 j $2,500 as a reward. H Both Wisconsin and Minnesota' are undefeated in the Big Ten and! 2 Saturday’s game will figure prom-( : inently in deciding the title.

Present trade was reported "fair to excellent by 48 per cent of those replying to the questionnaire. Prospects for next winter were considered, fair, good or excellent by 58 per cent of industries covered in survey. Among the larger improvements in trade reported were: automobile accessories. 14 per cent; chemicals. 11; electrical, 18; leather, 27; paper and pulp, 14; rubber. 25; stationary and printing. 9; textiles. 17 per cent. _ The opinion that industrial recovery was under way was based not on a general increase in all business, but on the fact more industries were showing increases and fewer were showing losses. Methods used in nine communities, scattered in various sections of the north eastern and north cen-| tral regions of the United States. I to relieve unemployment, were ! outlined by the association’s em-1 ;pioyment relations committee. W. ! ,R. Webster, Bridgeport. Conn., is ' chairman. E. A. Miller, president of the H. *C. Godman Company. Columbus, j 10., shoe manufacturers, said it was known by Thursday evening of each week in his plant what the i following week's orders would be. So it was possible to calculate how , many hours’ work would be provid'ed each man. The plan was worked out entirely for the benefit of I the company's and resulting com- ■ munity, social and employe benefits merely were "happy-by-pro-■ducts,” Miller said. M. B. Folsom of the Eastman Kodak Company, Rochester, N. Y., describing the unemployment beneI fit plan adopted by 19 Rochester companies, said each company will set aside 2 per cent of its payroll i annually. After two continuous | weeks of unemployment, a man who has worked for a company for a year or more, and earning less

j than SSO a week will receive 60 I per cent of his average weekly j learning, or a maximum of $22.50 i per week, during the period of his! I unemployment. William Ganson Rose of Cleve-1 land suggested that every employ-1 er of more than five persons should! calculate the average hourly earn- 1 ings of every employe, based on an eight-hour day; then reduce every I employes' working time by 20 per cent and hire 20 per cent more workers. James M. Hook, New Haven, i Conn., describing the recommendai tions of the New England council’s industrial committee, said it urged elimination of overtime and reduction of working hours to keep as many workers as possible in! employment: adoption of aggressive merchandizing: improvement i of employee morale, encouragement ; |of normal buying; cleaning, painting, overhauling and repairing; ad- : option of extension of research and , planning, and budgetting of pro- ' fits, sales and production. James L. Bonndelly of the Illinlois Manufacturers’ Association. I said suggestions by Illinois industrial executives, included: Rotating and staggered employment, credit stabilization, placing additional emphasis on development of new products, and furthering new ideas in merchandizing. George M. manager of Grand Rapids. Mich., said Grand Rapids gets 80 cents in labor on public improvements from every dollar spent on unemployment relief. Work is found on projects which had accumulated over a period oT years, he said.
