Neun was St. Paul's first baseman and his timely batting was a factor in pulling the Indians out of first place in the next-to-the-last series of the season. . .. The Apostles climbed over the Redskins in that set of brawls and captured the flag by three games. Against Louisville early in the 1924 campaign Neun stole second, third and home in succession. . , , His theft total for the year was 55.

Lowly Sub Now Star at Pennsy

ha] | |

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 4.—The story of Walter Daly, now firststring fullback of the University of Pennsylvania, is a living study in perseverance. All last season Daly performed with the third and fourth teams. He sat on the bench when a great Quaker outfit was playing its games. Others dropped out discouraged, but he came out every day. Daly kept at it this fall, but was a fourth-siring substitute until the Georgetown game of Oct. 23, when the Penn injured list was a yard long. Daly arrived all at once and showed Harvey Harman blocking and ball-carrying that led to his starting the Navy game. The young man’s varsity debut was a triumph. Among other things, he climaxed an 80-yard Pennsylvania drive by scoring the first touchdown in the upset.

\ The South’s Quality Brew since 1872

“FEHR’S is my favorite, too— I like its finer flavor”

Women prefer Fehr’s for its better quality, finer,

more distinctive flavor. It’s a pure grain beer —

made from nature's own ingredients — golden

barley-malt, rice, and hops, with no

elements added. Because it is brewed,

cooled, and properly matured in Fehr's

artificial surface-

air - con-

ditioned, modern brewery, it is always wholesome

—always has the same champagne clarity and

delicious flavor. Nothing that goes on your table

is prepared with more exacting care than Fehrs.

Fehr’s is kind to the figure.

® Order Fehr's by the case. Serve it in cool, rinsed

glasses for greater enjoyment.

Watch for the foam rings as you drink your Febr's, They say Xtra Quality and taste backs them up,
