Nov. 9.-—(U.R)—The Wild-’ 1 cats from Northwestern, still tin-' , defeated, virtually have won their I , first clear western conference foot-j . ball championship. I They must face Indiana this s week and lowa the Saturday fol-i lowing, but neither of these teams is considered a threat in the path of the powerful Wildcats. > North western's superiority over ( its Big Ten foes and its claims to . being one of the nation's greatest; ’ elevens, were clearly demonstrated against a fighting and smoothly working team of Gophers from Minnesota Saturday in Dyche stadium. After Minnesota had out-charged, out played and out-tackled the Wildcats during the first half to gain a 14 to 7 lead. Coach Dick Hanley's , eleven came back in the last half and score a 32 to 14 victory. With . "Pug" Rentner, Olson, Jakie SulJ livap and Lewis performing bril- ‘ liantly behind the support of a strong line, Northwestern easilyhandled the best the Gophers could offer. It was Minnesota's first conference defeat. Notre Dame, Northwesterns riv ’ al for midwestern and national hon- ' ors. performed in a similar man- ' ner against the previously undefeated Pennsylvania eleven. But Notre Dame’s 49 to 0 victory was won easily. Second and third team players were used during most of , the last three quarters. The vic- , tory was Notre Dame’s 25th in its , last 26 games. This week, Notre Dame travels to Baltimore for a game with Navy. ’ The conference games last week r offered little that was startling. 1 Illinois furnished unexpected op--1 position for Wisconsin and held the ' Badgers to a 7 to 6 score. lowa 1 invaded Nebraska and was defeat- ’ ed 7 to 0. Chicago and Arkansas battled to a 13 to 13 tie and Pur1 due ran rough shod over Centen--1 ary to win 49 to 6. The Michigan Wolverines piled ■ up one of their largest scores in 1 years when they smothered Indiana ’ 26 to 0 at Ann Arbor, and Ohio ’ State had little difficulty turning ’ back the Navy by a 20 to 0 score. > Four conference games are scheduled for this week. Northwestern ' meets the Hoosiers of Indiana at 1 Evanston in which is expected to 1 be an easy game for the Wildcats. The Purdue Boilermakers will be r host to an lowa eleven that has yet • to win a conference game this year. I The game between Illinois and Chi- ; cago is expected to be a hard | I fought affair, reminiscent of the battles staged between the two school in the early years of their •ivalry. Wisconsin's homecoming will be celebrated with a game against Ohio State. The two schools have played nine contests and each has won four. Last year's game was a scoreless tie. In non-conference games, Michigan entertains Michigan State at Ann Arbor and Minnesota is scheduled ’or a "rest" game against Cornell College of lowa. Western Conference Standings Team WLT Pct Pt 0.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT MONDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1931.

ALL AMERICAN IS DISCUSSED Chicago, Nov. 9—<u.R)—The AllAmerica backfield needs only a quarterback and a fullback and it I, will be complete. The two halfback hterths are reserved and waiting for Marchmont Schwartz of Notre Dame and Ernest (Pug) | Rentner of Northwestern. Foremost stars of two of the greatest football teams in this country, (Schwartz and Ren,tner approach the ultimate in allaround football ability. Take Rentner, 181-poimd Joliet, 111., boy, who Is playing his second year with Northwestern. He Is Ihe greatest’passer of the Big Ten, fast, hardhitting and one of those j rough, tough lads who like to play . football. He broke his thumb in the Illinois game two weeks ago, which might have taken the heart out of an ordinary player. But not Rentner. He came back with more speed and power than ever against Minnesota last week. With his team trailing. 14-7, Rentner took the opening ki-koff of the second half and ran it back 95 yards for i a touchdown. Then in the fourth ( period he returned a punt 70 ' j yards for another touchdown. Then there’s Schwartz. the pink-cheeked, soft-voiced boy from Bay St. Ixiuis. Mississippi. He weighs 171) pounds and is playing his third year on the Notre Dame I team. Schwartz is the fastest, shiftiest runner on the Irish eleven. and Would be an outstanding player if he could do nothing else. It happens that he is an uncanny passer, a stellar punter, a fine blocker and a smashing tackle. Schwartz started Notre Dame on the road to its 49-0 victory over Pennsylvania's previously unbeaten team last week by slanting off tackle for 16 yards and the first touchdown. He carried the ball 14 times and gained 62 yards, and threw a 35-yard pass to Charley Jaskwhich for a touchdown in the less than two periods he played. W hen these two stars met, Schwartz carried off the laurels because of his great kicking of a water-logged bull in the mud and rain at Soldier Field. Three times forced to kick from his own end zone, Schwartz averaged 46 yards with his 11 punts. Neither could get going in the slime and mud which prevented either team from scoring. Schwartz carried the ball 12 times and gained 58 yards, ami Rentner picked up 30 yards in the 11 times he carried it. Rentner’s savage -tackling excelled his ball carrying in this game. Consistency is the first test of a real football player. Game after game Schwartz and Rentner play the same kind of steady stellar football. No team has halted Rentner. barring the Notre Dame game when mud and rain halted both teams as well as players. Look over the records: Rentner Nebraska—Ran 35 yards for touchdown after taking lateral pass and then cut through tackle for 65 yards and a touchdown in first 8 minutes of play. IT. C. L. A. Carried hall 14 limes for 49 yards and passed brilliantly. Ohio (State-—Ran 50 yards for winning touchdown. Illinois—Ran 65 yards for first touchdown and retired few minutes later with broken thumb. Minnesota—Ran 95 yards on kickoff and 70 yards on punt for ; two touchdowns. Schwartz Indiana Ran 12 yards for down after taking lateral pass. Played less than half the game. Drake—Made runs of 18, 12. 10 yards in the one period he played. Pittsburgh — Carried ball 18 times for 63 yards, and threw two passes for touchdowns. Carnegie Tech—Ran 59 yards for first touchdown. Carried ball 23 times for 118 yards. Pennsylvania — Carried ball 14 times for 62 yards. Ran 16 yards for first touchdown. Had a 37-yard run for touchdown called hack. Threw 35-yard pass for touch--1 down. Played less than half the I game. o _ LOUIS C. WARD KILLED SUNDAY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE; drive out of the road.

Howe said symptoms of their illness were similar to those in arsenic poisoning. Menu of the dinner to be eaten by the family kill be baked ham. peas, bread and butter, cake and bananas. The coroner hopes that publication of the meal may enable one of the diners to recall some circumstance of the previous dinner which will aid in solving the mystery. The peas served are believed in some way responsible for the death, sinee the two girls who became ill and the one who died ate of them. Neither the mother nor the fourth sister partook. The coroner said the pease were served at luncheon the same day, however, and no one became ill.

DRESIERENDS STRIFEPROBE Author Says Conditions In Coal Fields Bad; Urges Prosecutions Copyright, 1931, by UP. Pineville, Ky„ Nov. 9.— (U.R) — Theodore Dresier, whose inquiry into charges of “official terrorism" in the coal fields of southeastern Kentucky has ended, declared today tliat he considered conditions "as bad as they could be anywhere in the world.” Dresier, author-chairman of the national committee for protection of political prisoners, led the committee into the heart of a district which for months has been torn by bloody strift Lines of sympathy in the district are sharply drawn. Slayings had resulted in wholesale arrests. "There ought to be prosecutions of the severest type against officials of Harlan county." said tlie author of “An American Tragedy,” whose personal sympathies lie to the left in matters affecting labor. “I think there should be a congressional investigation,” he said, i “but I fancy the first step will be a state inquiry. It is the usual | American lineup of capital and labor, with everything on one side i and nothing on the other but two! bare hands?” The author-investigator who some * months back slapped the face of Sinclair Lewis, Nobel prize-win-ning contemporary, was deeply affected by conditions he said lie had witnessed, and by portrayal of other conditions given his committee voluntarily by witnesses. "It Is a very aggravated case here," he Said, "because of the very gallant temperament of these Kentuckians. "We hear of the plight of one people and of another —of the ’starving Armenians’, for example —but I believe that economic conditions here, and the condition of actual physical misery, is as great as it could be anywhere in the world. “I have had much testiiflony given me.

tlons of officials could be more deserved.” , Dresier's investigation develop ed the workers' side of the bitterly contested labor dispute. When' the author also threw open his voluntary hearings to spokesmen of the [other side, Sheriff John Henry Blair |of Harlan county vigorously denied the "terrorism" charge. High lights of 111? three-day inquiry included: Testifnony of witnesses that affiliation with unionism had cost them their jobs and that payment ' for labor was made in scrip good only at company commissaries. j Denunciation of the "National Miners Union" by Sheriff Blair as a “communistic organization.” (The Harlan mines are strictly non-un-ion.) Arrest of Bruce Crawford, editor of Crawfords Weekly, Norton, Va., a. member of Dreiser’s committee, on a warrant charging he slandered Sheriff Blair. Crawford was shot by a mysterious assailant at Harlan last summer. Blair’s suit 1 asks $50,000 damages. Interrogation of Dreiser at one i of his committee by Herndon J. ’ Evans, editor of the Pineville, Ky.,; Sun. elicited the reply that Dreis - er’s annual income was “about $35,000" and that he gave nothing, di-1 rectly, Co charity. i Testimony that “armed thugs, ■ gunmen, and deputies" held sway lin the county, and that deputies 1 were on company payrolls. | Refusal of Circuit Judge D.

The Harlan County Coal Operators Association is composed of executives who feel their own conditions of labor are eminently fair.' and who blame adverse competitive conditions of labor tor the plight of the Kentucky fields.
