CHICAGO, lv*e. 4.—Lengthening of the football season for the Big Ten was the train topic for discussion among faculty representatives, coaches and athletic directors of Middle Western universities, meeting here today. The proposed plan would add two additional games to the schedule, opening the season one week earlier and playing one game on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. * The tremendous Interest shown in collegiate football during the last two years, many attending the meeting believed, warrant extension of the schedule.

Rules were to be discussed. Changes advocated Included allowing the ball on a forward pass, blocked behind the line of scrimmage, to remain lu play. Butler Five Starts Season by Beating Armour Tech Outfit Hooker and Leslie Give Promise of Developing Into Reai Court Stars. Basket-ball coaching has been reported as Pat Page's main stock In trade and those who saw his Butler quintette defeat Armour Tech of Chicago. 32 to 23. on the Butler conrt night have little reason to doubt this report. Page has been able to hold only a few sessions with his basket inea since the close of the football season but during that time he has ironed out a fairly well drilled team that has the great advantage of knowing how to battle at all times. t> oor work of the Page men was decidedly ragged at times, then again they would tighten up and appear as one of the smoothest running teams Bv.tTer ever has had. They will be mighty good after Page works them more. The two best players on the court last night were Leslie and Hooker, former Anderson ITigb School stars Hooker played at forward, while I>eslie took care of the floor guard position anil they displayed lots of class. Armour's defense looked dangerous until Hooker and Leslie had registered a few of their favorite distance shots, then things began to change. These two youngsters also have plenty of speed in getting over the court and Page should develop a pair of real stars from them Captain .Tones a’so played a great game for Butler, cheeking numerous Armour advances. Wltashkls played best for the losers. SHORTRIDGE IN HARD BATTLE A last minute attack, made possible bv a wearing down of th Sh rtridge do- : sense. brought Hartford City an lk to If. viefory over Coach Julius quintette last night. It was the first contest for the Shortridge team under Julius and the Blue and White played a remarkable game, considering the class, of talent the new mentor hns had to work with. Riley started the scoring a few minutes after play opened anil Sbertridge held the lead until a few seconds before half time arrived, when a field goal by Haehamer gave the visitors an 8 to 7 margin. Richards shot Shortridge back to the lead after a short time of going In the second session and Shortridge again stuck out lu front until the last minute, then weakened on defense and permitted the Hartford boys to walk in and take the scrap. Two of the men in Shortridge uniform last night were playing their first real basket-ball, but Coach Julius has his men well drilled and should develop them Into championship stuff before the title play time rolls around. SHELBY QUINT DROPS TECH SHELBYVILLE, Ind., Dec. 4—Shelbv vllle had too strong an offensive machine. composed *>f Kaufman. Rieueson and Hunt, for the Tech basketeers last night and the Indianapolis team suffered a 33 to 12 defeat. There was one man on the Green and White makeshift squad who made fine showing, and that was Captain Wilson, who looked as good as anybody on me court. The rangy floor guard scored every Tech point, six from the floor and six from the foul linrTime and again Kaufman and Richeson would work the ball down the floot for SbeJhrvUle, toss it to Hord, under the basket, and In it would go. Ilord scored eight field goals. At the end of the first half, Shelby was leading, 13 to 5.

Cry Heard for Old Yale Coaching Style to Be Brought Back Alumni Weekly Urges Dropping of ‘Miracle Makers’ for Former System. NEW HAVEN, Conn., Dec. 4.—“ What Yale football needs is the family doctor," says the Y’ale Alumni Weekly in a general review of the football season In the university The Weekly has been receiving the opinions of others on football conditions, and now strikes out for Itself in suggesting causes and effects. "In our opinion,” the Weekly says, ’Wale football does not need u professional specialist to put It on its feet again: the family doctor will respond if called. "By this we mean that while Harvard and Princeton have been building up home coaching schools these past few years, Yale has struck out blindly for miracle makers, and forgotten the experience of the days when Y’ale football was great. "The old Yale coaching system was not built up around any one man, nor was any Individual the boss of It; It was a school of Yale football science—under one field coach, to be sure (and it did not seem to make any difference who he was) —but comprising all of the knowledge and special talents that a long procession of tried coaches could contribute, continuous and kept up to date by regular Infusion of new blood.” After referring to Yale teams as fighting ones, the Weekly says: "Yale teams can play its good football ns ever, if they are taught right.

Senator-elect Penzel was asked just what he was going to do about keeping that campaign promise. ! "I can’t say anything just now; I am I bewildered by the large number of applicants and ,lt will take time for me to decide," he answered. "It Isn't a question- noA of finding who I can get for a wife, as I figured during the campaign., but a matter of whom I must choose. Overwhelmed’ i not a word sufficient to my position now."' And the Senator-elect systematically silt open pink and blue and lavendar | tinted envelopes, carefully read thorn, in- ! dexed them and neatly arranged them for future attention. WON'T SAY WHAT KIND HE WANTS. | "What kind of a girl will you pick?" : the correspondent queried. “I will never know,” he answered, | "until X see the one for me. 1 had no : Idea I would have such n chance to pick | one. I thought It would be a question of who I could find. Now it seems to be a matter of who will pick me." Some of the letters were written In n ! Joking manner, some appeared to be half | serious, some were frank * proposals of | marriage, even going so far as to ontltno . the financial advantage* enjoyed by the ! writers; some offered only love, others j offered property and wealth. Some were from girls apparently In their 'teens and : others appeared to have been written by I fair voters of more mature age. AH 1 frankly vowed they bad voted for Penzel. A great many of the letters also were application* for jobs at the State c.ip'tol. "It Is rather strange. Isn't it," PenEel queried, "that worn a oumumber tho i male applicants for Slate positions by ! two to one?” Penzel made It a point to attend every gathering of women where a man was permitted during the pre-election fight, and he openly promised to marry If tho returns showed him the winner. Ho attended every affair from a dance i to a church social, it la saldHOW HE WENT ABOUT | GATHERING VOTES.

POINT rSAnEr., Texa*. Dec. 4.—This ! sleepy little fishing village, which slum- ! bered on In oblivion until the visit of President-elect Harding brought It Into worbl-wtde attention. Is today awakening and hold* forth promises of being one of the busiest ports on the southern coasts of the X’nlted States. Point Isabel, for more thnn a century only a collection of small Mexican fishing *hack, 1* slated to become the port of the entire Kto Grande Valley. The Government has appropriated money to open a channel from this Uttla port to the Gulf of Mexico, and the publicspirited cttlzens of the Rio Grande Valley UaTe raised sufficient money to change the Brownsville-Point /sabel narrow gauge railroad into a stanfard gauge road. Millions of dollars of produce from tho Ulo Grande Valley will flow out to the world from this tiny little village, and already plan* are being made for tho establishment of a huge warehouse here. Point Isabel up to this time has been known locally only, and its population, almost entirely Mexican, has devoted Its eutlre time to fishing, when the population chose to work. The village is built upon the Mextcnn plan and It Is typical of tho old world. Only the presence of n handful of marines and sailors attached to a naval radio station give It the appearance of really belonging to the United States. Primitive Indeed Is the village now. There Is not a bathtub In the entire village. There Is one lone telephone line which connects It with the outer world, and telegraph facilities are nil. For recreation the people of Point Isabel sit upon the porches of tbelr little shacks all day long In the sun. On rare occasions there Is a dance, and the Mexican boys, with gaily colored scarfs about their swarthy throats, dance the old-fashioned dances with the greatest of decorum with dark-skinned but prettily j featured Mexican girls. Burros, pigs and cattle roam the vll- ! lage square at will. Doors aro never ; locked. The hoosegow can be moved : by any two normal men. There Is one genera! store, and the postoffice boasts of two lock boxes. All of this Is now ready to give way to the march of progress, and historic and cualnt old Point Isbale In another year will be a thriving port, pouring out to the world huge supplies of cotton, fruit, vegetables and cattle from the Rio Grando Valley. Modern Mexico to Take Census at Once| MEXICO CITY, Dec. 4.—A census of Mexico’s population is to be made at once. The government has appropriated : 250,000 pesos, or $125,000, for this work. Because doubt has been expressed that the census work could be done at such j price, it is explained that various officials will help in the taking of the census so as to keep down the expense in Mexico’* effort to .accumulate a treasury surplus for the payment of tho $500,000,000 national debt.

'Bad Actor* Epitaph Suggested for Old ‘Silver Tip Grizzly* ! Monarch of Beardom , Slayer of Many Cattle, Finally Lands in Huge Trap. LONDER, Wyo„ Dec. 4.—" Silver Tip Grizzly" la dead. * “He was a bad actor,” was the epl- ! taph suggested by United States Dei partment of Agriculture agents when | they learned' of the end of tbe career j of the 1.000-pound monarch of beardom which has been killing stock and terrorI iz ng ranchers in the vicinity of Duj bois, Wyo., for the last five years. I A fifty-pound bezr trap anchored to j a twe.nty-four-foot tree was Silver Tip’s • undoing, but he broke the tree and tore I eight miles through the forest before i finally giving up the ghost. | Fifteen dead cattle, each killed with a crushing blow beneath the eyes and each with the liver removed as a bear delicacy marked the, trail to tho point where tbe grizzly was trapped. It 1s estimated that "Silver Tip Grizzly” has caused damage in excess of $50,000 during the years he has been destroying livestock in and around Dubois. Many hunters have been on the trail of the old criminal since 1916. He was reported to have been billed in 1918, but the beast Blaln at that time proved to be another and less ferocious bear. Several months ago Hunter Rowley was employed by the Government with instructions to "get ‘Silver Tip Grizzly' tor don't come back.” After weeks on ) n trail bespattered with blood of young I cattle, Rowley succeeded in trapping the j preda'ory bc.ist. Tbe trap that finally stopped Silver | Tip was a huge No. 6, the clog used 1 being a twenty-foot log measuring five j inches through. Rowley said the bear would weigh | 1.000 pounds; tho, front feet measurin j about eight and one-half Inches across, and the hind fe.et being twelve inches In length.

SIBERIA STILL : HOLDS GREAT PRISON HORDE Releasing Work Proceeds i Slowly Under Unsettled and Unpleasant Conditions. NARVA RELIEF CENTER BERLTN, Dec. 4.—When Peter tha Great of Russia built a fortress at Narva on the border o J what Is now Esthonta, and calied It "Hunger Fortress,” ha could ‘ r.nt foresee that the day would come when thousands of wretched men and women would there loara for the first time in many months or even yeare what It means not to be hungry. Yet that i* hnt the Beveloptaents of the last months ; have brought to pass. It is at Narva that the returning prta* oners from Siberia—prisoners of war and also civilians—are cared for until they can be sent to their home*. Narva mean* f r them the beginning of the end of their sufferings. Not the least of tbesa sufferings is the journey thut bring* them to this Esthonlan city. "Special through trains” —consisting entirely of boxcars—take at the best five weeks from Irkutsk, and the trip often stretches out to forty-five days or even more. The travelers have no opportunity t* wash themselves on the way, except as they leave the train near some stream; they cannot wash their clothing, they have no spare stocks, and their food is barely sufficient to keep body and soul together. And all of them are weak from years of hupger and other privations and many are diseased- ! AMERICAN AID VOLUNTEERED. It is the recently organized Fridtjof Nansen Relief that is directing the work. Committees from the central powers ara assisting, the Russian soviet government li*.s thus far worked loyally with ths ! organization, and America is represented by Y. M. C. A. men. Tbe American wort? • is voluntary, and the expenses are bornj • by the Y. M. C. A. alone, for the Amerl- ' can Government shares with the Frencli government the distinction of havlnff refused to have anything to do with Nansen’s scheme. , Washington was afraid that the funds ■would get Id to the wrong hands. - ’ France demarded, as a condition prej cedent to helping, that assurances l ; given that nil French prisoners would be moved before anybody else was attended to. Such assurance? could not be given. England Is helping on ths work, which is being chiefly supported by the central powers and the neutrals, including especially Scandanavia. HOPE NOT MORE THAN 80.090. It Is difficult to ascertain the numbs* 'of prisoners In Siberia. It Is hoped that there are not more than 80,000, but this figure Is largely guesswork. There ars some women and children among these. The prisoners belong to at least ten different nations, now that their former countries have been split up and divided 1 by the peace of Versailles. Most of them will have to spend the coming winter In Russia. The difficulties of moving them through a Siberian winter over ths long route to ft'arva are very great, and j thousands of them are so weak from ; typhoid, dysentery and other prison* j camp diseases, that the iong Journey would mean their death. There ars enough physicians in the camps to cars for *ll the 111, and the Nansen committee sent off last week seventy-six chests of medicine. It sent at the sama tlmS ; 10 OOP suits of underclothing and mors will follow soon. Representatives of the Nansen committee—neutrals and American Y. M. C. A. u* en —meet the. relief trains at Moscow nnd accompany them to their destlna* I tlon. t SOME ITA VE BEEN IN SIBERIA SIX YEARS. Paul Anderson of lowa, Y. M. C. A, representative with the German brands of the Nansen relief, expressed the hops ; that Americans might contribute to this work, which Is already limited becaus# of funds insufficient to do all that oughl i to be done. j “Nobody need fear that the money will not reach the right hand*’’ he said. "The soviet government has aided us in every way possible, and everybody connected with the work is doing his Pest to seo that these unfortunate men, women and children, some of whom hav , been in Siberia six years, have enough to eat and wear this winter and corns back to their homes In the spring. - - Bookwalter Says Trade's the Thing 1 SPRINGFIELD, Ohio, Dee. 4.—“lf every young man would learn trade he would find, at some time or other, that It was the finest pneumatic seat on which to drop when misfortune strikes home,’* declared Charles Bookwalter, former m yor of Indianapolis, addressing delegates nt the recent session here of th Seventh District Typothetne Federation.
