TEXAS TEAM TO MEET STANFORD IN ROSE BOWL Southern Methodist. Undefeated, To Play New Years Classic Palo Alto, Cal., Dec, 2— <U.P' — Southern Methodist University, undefeated in 11 consecutive Rt'.Ties, will meet Stanford University in the 20th annual Rose Bowl football game in Pasadena on January 1. Alfred C. Masters. Stanford graduate manager, announced th” selection after a telephone converst’.'ion with James Stewart. S. M. U. athletic director, who accepted the bid for the Texas team. Tne Mustangs' appearance will mark the first time in the history of the Rose Bowl series that a team west of the Mississippi river has represented the East. The Texans won the right to the invitation Saturday with a. 20 to 14 victory over Texas Christian University. T. C. V. also had been undefeated and untied this year. The game will mark Stanford's third consecutive appearance in the Rose Bowl. Virtually the same teem which lost 0 to 7 on a rain-soaked field in 1934 and dropped a 13 to 29 decision to Alabama last New Year's day will return this year to meet the Mustangs. Stanford has represented the West six times, five within the pant 10 vears. The Ce.-dinals defeated Pittsburgh, tied Alabama in one game, and lost to Notre Dame, Alabama, and Columbia. The Cards have completed their regular season schedule. They won the western nomine.'ion by winning seven games of an eight game schedule. They dropped an earlv season game to U. C. L. A., 6 to 7. U. C. L. A. and Santa Clara, defeated 6 to 9 by the Indians, were the only teams to cross Stanford's goal line. While holding their opponents to 13 points, the Cardinals scored 114. S.M.U's 1935 scoring record is vastlv more impressive than that of Stanford. In 11 games the Mustangs have scored 254 noints to 32 for onnonents. T°xas Christian with 14 noints. Washington University of St. Ixtuis. Arkansas University, and Hardin-Simmons, each with 6, were the only teams able to score on the Southwesterners. The bld went to S. M. U. after Masters listened to a radio breadcast of the S.M.U.-T.C.U. gam”. It was indicated previously that

The amazing ease with which the average person can be parted from his savings is illustrated by the Chicago trial of 41 individuals charged with having obtained more than $1,500,000 in the past 15 years by selling shares in the mythical estate of Sir Francis Drake, sixteenth century buccaneer whose fortune has been conclusively proven non-existent. Postal Inspector Johnson of Chicago and Inspector Bishop of Scotland Yard head prosecution forces arrayed against the Chicago ring, reputedly headed by “Baron” Hartzell. The ancient story of the "Spanish prisoner” is another scheme which has fattened the pockets of “promoters” for more than a century. The victim is told that by financing the release and steamer passage of a Spanish prisoner he will share in the secret wealth to which said prisoner holds the key. The vistini pays and waits . . . waits. Thousands are still waiting.

This means that rabbits can bo sold lawfully, provided the dealer does not have more than twenty in his possession aj any one time. To have more than twenty in possession is a violation of the law. A law was proposed during the 1935 session of the general assembly which would have prohibited the sale of rabbits. Rabbits are the only game which can be sold legally in Indiana, the laws prohibiting the sale of game fish, squirrels and game birds. o NOTICE I will be out of my office Tut-' day afternoon nnd evening.
