Southpaw Larry Fren.h evened the series at three games each with a seven-hit. 6 to 2 victory over the Sox at Comiskey Park. It was French’s second conquest of the series.

Here it is still Indian summer I lor am I confused, and this is the dog-day period?) and dozens of our most renowned character-building teams have been beaten or tied, i With the world series finally out I of the way I was glancing over the I gridiron results for the first time 1 this year, and was amazed to find that these teams had either*beenl beaten or held even: Notre Dame. Illinois. Minnesota. Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State. Indiana. Arkansas, Pennsylvania. Princeton, Tennessee. Duke. Tulane. Columbia. Manhattan. Auburn. Duquesne, Purdue. Southern California. Washington, Texas. Mississippi State. T. C. U.. Stanford. U. C. L. A.. St. Mary's S. M. U., N. Y. U., North Carolina. Missouri. Oklahoma, Carnegie Tech and—lack of breath prevents me from naming the others. This, to me, makes very provoj cative reading. Because, as every one knows, it is on the football fields that the character of America's youth is molded. And the teams of the schools in the above list have led in this fine development for years. It indeed gives one pause to learn that the Minne- , sota squad, with character enough to fill each position with three young leaders, already has been beaten. And that Ohio State, where tackles are taught to salute the flag and help elderly ladies across the street even before they are instructed in body checking and the proper way to main an opposing end, has been licked before the season is well under way. • What is the reason for the defeats of these teams which for so long have led in the setting of young ideals? Certainly it can’t be the coaches' fault. I have been around football too long, and known too many coaches, to ever listen to a suggestion that the gridiron mentors are to blame. I have yet to meet a coach -who didn't place the formation of character above winning. And it can’t be the fault of the boys themselves. No one would dare to hint that there is even one football player in this country—be he tackle, end, guard, center- or back — who reported for practice j with any other than this thought in mind —"four years of taking my bumps out here on the gridiron, punishing as it may seem at the time, will purge my being of all weakness, and toughen my fibers for life." ("Life” must be spelled with a capital letter here.) It would destroy another illusion—and we already have far too many in this country—if anyone rose up and suggested that perhaps there were football players who played for tuition, board, four. years under a roof that didn’t rain, personal glory, or a chance at a pro job. No. we musn’t seek an answer, i We simply must wait until Saturday and hope that these leading ! character-building teams will once i again forge to the front and, under i the cultured lashings of their

YOUNG SCHOOL GIRL IS SLAIN Indiana High School Girl Victim Os Mysterious Murderer Mishawaka. Ind., Oct. 13. —<U.R> ~ • Murder of a high school girl on u ! lonely country road without appar- ' ent motive sent city and state po ? lice today on trail of a vaguely described man of 35 or 40. • He was said to be fleeing west-, ward across the state. He was traced as far as Mishawaka last night. At midnight a man of his description was reported racing through Valparaiso, toward the west. A statewide alarm for tois capture was broadcast. The victim was Melba Moore. 16, Granger. She was riding near j Granger last night with Adolph Stopper. 20. Mishawaka, her suitI or of two yeats. and Charles Walton. 16. Granger, a friend of her family. Stopper was driving. They ■ entered a lonely lane near Grang- : er. saw a car backed into a ditch ns if the driver were in trouble. They stopped to offer aid. The man opened fire without warning, shot six times. Three | bullets struck Miss Moore She died before she could be taken to a hospital. Walton was grazed on ' the shoulder, apparently by a bullet. Etopper was not injured. The slayer fled, as Stopper and Walton raced back to Granger with their dying companion. Stopper fainted when the three of them reached the Moore home in Granger. Walton roused Miss Moore’s father. Harold. Walter remained in the home while the father raced to a Mishawaka hospital with his daughter and her suitor. Miss Moore was dead when they reached the hospital. Stopper stopped at the Moore home last night to take Miss Moore for a ride. Walton was visiting there at the time. Stopper invited him along. The three called for Stopper's father, Leo. at work, and took him home. Then they drove toward the lane where young Stopper said, they hoped to run down some rabbits as they had done recently. They saw the slayer's car as they entered the lane, and passed it. Then Stopper decided to offer his assistance if it were needed. He backed up his own car. The slayer stepped into the road and fired before any of the youths stepped out of their own car. Miss Moore groaned as she was struck twice in the head and »nce in the chest. The girls’ father said Leo Stopper was her only suitor. He discounted responsibility of jealousy. Polibe accepted the youth's story after brief questioning. o TO CHANGE GAS • m\’TTVT T rr) pm»v ria? away, as is the case in some Ohio towns, where unrefined gas is > used.

Mrs. Helen Piper, native of NewYork City and owner of the Rubicon Inn, hi the area west of the ' city on which Japanese pianos rained bombs today, described the plight of wounded mon on their way to the rear. "All night long, bandaged and 1 crippled men marched past the inn," she told the United Press. | "At dawn the Japanese started bombing. Many civilian refugees joined the soldiers. The soldiers told me they had fought the Jap anese hand to hand all night north of Shanghai. At one time the Chinese were surrounded, the wounded men said, und fighting was so fierce, with the bayonet, that it was difficult in the dark to tell enemy from friend." Chinese officers kept the wounded men moving steadily, but permitted a few who showed fatigue to stop for the tea which Mrs. Piper offered them.
