NORTHWESTERN ; MAY GET ROSE [ TOURNEY BID Strong Wildcat Team Likely To Get Invitation To West Chicago, Nov. 3 —(U.R> Northwestern's powerful football team, i overwhelming favorite to win the; Big Ten football championship, probably will he invited to play the antiual Tournament of Roses ! game at Pasadena, Calif., New Year's day, hut the faculty representatives of the western confereuce are not expected to give the I Wildcats permission to accent the | invitation. Northwestern athletic officials | are xtnderstood to favor accepting the invitation as indicated t*y Athletic Director K. L. (Tug! Wil-j soil's statement today regarding i the game._ "We haven't been invited and what little chance we have of BtTepting will be ruined if the i matter is given any publicity.” The Big Ten has a rule against; post-season games, but last month . voted to suspend the rule to allow

each conference team to play an i extra same with a conference! team for charity, not later than Nov. 28. All Big Ten schedule* cn’l Nov. 21. Since that time requests have poured in to the conference for a variety of charity games. lowa ■ petitioned the conference for per-: mission to meet lowa State, a I member of the Rig Six. and was I turned down. Other games sug?£sted were Wisconsin-Marquette. Michigan-Detroit. Illinois-Missouri. 1 and a replay of the Northwestern Notre Dapie scoreless tie. In reaffirming its attitude that permission would not be granted for any Big Ten team to play another team outside the conference, 1 the faculty representatives stated ; “the conference carefully con-( sidered all the elements involved before deciding to limit the ex-; tended season to Nov. 28 and the games to conference opponents.l "nd sees no reason for rescinding its action." The members of the conference will hold a meeting some time this month, probably the week of Nov Ifi. to draw up the schedule for the ■ Nov. 28 charity games. The orig- i iftal schedule as suggested when the post-season rule was temporarily suspended follows: Northwestern vs Michigan , Chicago vs lowa Ohio (State vs Purdue Wisconsin vs Indiana Illinois vs Minnesota The unexpected turn of affairs, iq which Michigan and Purdue w<‘re beaten, however, may cause schedule to be rearranged The Northwestern-Michigan game! Is going to be difficult to arrange ! because both schools want their \ game al , home. Northwestern plans to play its game in Soldier! Field with its 120.000 seating capacity, and Michigan is known to be strongly opposed to playing In ’he lake front stadium. If Northwestern wins from Minnesota Saturday, the Wildcats probably will complete their schedule without defeat and hold undisputed claim to the title. Ir which event Northwestern probi I ably will not lie anxious to risk - Its chances at losing a clear claim | to the first undisputed football, championship it ever won. Rather the Northwestern officials would ho more inclined to play either! Notre Dame or accept the tourna-! nient of roses game. The winner of Saturday’s game between Southern California and I Stanford of Ix>s Angeles will represent the far west in the tournament of roses game. the Hahlt- Trade Home

OEP AUW MEETS OHIO U. TEAM — Greencastle. Ind., Nov. 3.—DePauw University's undefeated Tigers face the supreme test of their eight game schedule here Saturday when the Old Gold is host to the Ohio University Bobcats. Buckeye Conference champions for the last three years. Ohio University has lost but one game in three seasons and that to Indiana University by a 7-6 margin early this year. DePauw has won every game in five starts and boasts of victories over Boston University, University of Cincinnati. Franklin. Manchester and Earlham. Os this group, only Earlham has been al'le to stop Don Wheaton, De Pauw’s star halfback. Against Manchester "heaton ran 70-yards for a touchdown, against Cincinnati he galloped 97-yards to score the winning touchdown and to annex the record for the longest run in the United States this year; against Boston he carried the ball GS-yards on one play to place it within a yard of the goal line, carrying it over himself on the next play. Against Franklin he >an 82-yards from scrimmage ami 70-yards after a punt for touchdowns. The peculiar part of it is that be did the same thing last year for DePauw and has been doing it for seven years of high school and college ball. In these seven years he has played on a losing team iust once. Illinois Wesleyan defeating DePauw last year when Coach Neal has a group of sophomores for a team. These sophomores are now juniors and DePauw apnears to be the secondary college champion again in Indiana. Coach Neal has developed some very dependable reserves-both for his line and backfield. The Tigers have shown themselves to be in good physical condition for three of the five games. Boston. Cincinnati and Franklin, were won in the last ouarter after the Tigers had trailed their opponents. Despite the gruelling pace set by both Boston and Franklin in the last two games, the DePauw squad has come out of these games without any serious injuries and Coach Neal expects to have his full strength to throw against the Bobcats Saturday. Scouts from the Ohio University camp who saw the Franklin game last week. saw little except straight football. The Tigers are expected to unleash their full strength and pull every trick out of their bag in an effort to turn back what is considered the superior team. It will be Dad’s Day on the campus and another record crowd is anticipated. J. L.

Adams is also under a murder indictment (charged with Gilbert's death. The shooting occurred on the Huntington road, a mile south of Fort Wayne.

Green, Portland, and Oliver Gettle, also dry agents, were with | Gilbert and Wilson when the attempt to arrest Adams was made.

WATER DRINKERS IN CONVENTION AT WET ROUEN Society Claims Conversion of 23,000 Drunkards During Drive ROUEN, France U.R) Claiming that they have converted 23,000 drunkards to emirate the faith of the water wagon, a French Society of Water Drinkers .here has just held its annual congress. with a thousand delegates present. The group of Adam's Ale Apostles is known officially as the Society of the Blue Cross, and total abstinence is the one rigid rule of the organization. Even though Rouen is the "capital of cider," the initial banquet of the society remained teetotally dry even from such semi-intoxicants. Following the banq'i-t. a “dry parade" was held. It proved a dry day for Rouen, with dry tracts distributed to the inhabitants dry speeches delivered from prominent gathering plates, and even the weather, usually in a torrential downpour, remaineel dry through the entire festivities. The French prohibitionists differ from others of the order in that they wish to dry the entire world, not by law. hut by total self-abstinence and self-control, voluntarily exercised. The Dry Congress is making a special and personal appeal to the youth of France, urging upon their minds the horrors of t'i ■ greatest

of all assassins—alcoholism. How- ' ever, with the virtues of French . wines being taught in public‘i schools of France, the Water I Drinkers’ Union is bucking heavy I. odds ami rather insurmountable i difficulties. 11 Inhabitants of Rouen look for-;I ward to the Dry Parade every year and arrange their tables along the ; streets, where they can sit and : sip their cider and beer, while I. ! viewing it. — o— I < t 11 TOLEDO .JUDGE I DENIES STORY — (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE> Press. Judge Killits denied in his statement that he had stated anything! I which could be inferred to show a: preference for Miss Britton in her suit against C. A. Klunk, owner of the Marion Hotel, Marion. Ohio, i whom she charges sold copies of "The Answer to the President's Diughter,” a book which sh“ said contained stati ments damaging to her reputation. The court's statement follows; "The court at no time in any ruling or comment it has made has said that the case had established a situation in which there was nothing left for the plaintiff to show under the right to record dam igi s except proof to the extent of the publication to affect the quantity of damages to be awarded. and nothing the court said justified the conclusion that a verdict was framed in the court's mind against the defendant. The comments of the court on that proposition were qualified as to the position the case was in before any defense was heard, and the comments. but partially reported, were offered to advise counsel of what

[ was necessary to be shown byway of defense, if available, in order to [avoid a default, in which situation 1 the only question of fact for the jury to determine would be the extent of damages, if damages other than purely nominal were sought |by the defendant to be avoided. "Every lawyer knows that a publication may be libelous upon (its face which, if not avoided by [defense testimony, would make ‘ possible a recovery of nominal damages in any nominal sum within the country's monetary measurement of values; and if it were the jury's judgment that one cent was , sufficient for nominal damages, ■ such a verdict would be of necessity sustained by the court." Davis May Be Freed — Indianapolis, Nov. 3 (UP) — A ■pjth by which Kirby Davis, alleged Muncie gangster and former companion of Ge aid Chapman, might pass to freedom. appealed today, it was revealed by E. L. Osborn?, of the state bureau of criminal identification. Davis is serving 25 years in Leavenw >rth Federal p.ison on a charge oi auto theft. Osborne said it had been reported that the state had nolled indictments against Davis charging him with complicity in the Angola bank robbery several years ago. Osborne pointed out that Davis sentence, which he began serving in 1929. nrght be trimmed if the indictment was nolled. As long as the indictment was pending. Osborne explained, moves to obtain Davis' freedom w re blocked. Just back from market villi a fuil line of ladies and children’s coats and dresses, —E. F. (lass & Son.
