CHICAGO, Oct. 4. After a rather feeble start a week ago, football -will get under full swing In the middlewest October 6 with every member of the "Big Ten" except Chicago and Minne
sota, tearing up the gridiron. Chi. cngo will open the season a week later with Vanderbilt as its opponent. Minnesota will face South Dakota state at Minneapolis. Practically all of Saturday's combats are regarded as prctice gmes to put the elevens on edge for more 1mportnt games a week later, but Coach Zuppke of the University of Illinois thinks this too mild a term to apply to his team's contest with the Uni
versity of Kansas. Some Urbana critics believe that defeat faces the Illini unless they show marked improvement on the field over their scrim
mage work, as Kansas, playing its first game a week ago, rolled up a 149 to 0 score gainst Kingfisher, The Jayhawkers, reported to be fast an4 pow. erful, will come to Urbana with high hopes of winning. Other games do Saturday's schedule will bring together Case and Michigan
at Ann Arber, Cornell college and : Xowa at Iowa City, Wabash and Indiana at Bloomington, Franklin and Purdue at Lafayette, Beloit and Wisconsin at Madison, Northwestern and Lake Forest at Evanston, and Ohio Wesleyan and Ohio State at Columbus. Ohio State's first game of the season with Case lagt Saturday, demonstrated beyond a doubt, coaches and rooters believe, that last year's champion's of the Western Conference are strong contenders for the championship again this year. Practically all of last year's varsity foam, are back in the game, including "Chik" Harley, the ail-American half tick who was the sensation of 1916 middle-western football. Few of last year's varsity men have enlisted and nonn has been drafted for military service. Develops New Star Tha game with Case, which resulted jn a 49 to 0 victory for Ohio State, developed another Ohio State football star in Ralph Stinchcomb at left half. Stinchcomb played a sensational game and. in view of his work on last year's freshman Fqu?d, coaches believe they have a second Harley.

Braves, former Miracle Mas. picks the Giants to -win. Says George:
Til be surprised indeed If the
Giants do sot win their neries Just as easily and just as speedily as we
won onur .entanglement with the Ath
letics. Chicago's only, hope rests on
Eddie Clcotte's ability to stop HeGraw's sluggers, and I'm convinced that he will go down before the weight
and dash of the New York attack just
as Alexander, Rudolph, Nehf, Vaughn,
Cooper and the rest of the National league stars have given way. "If they do beat Cicotte in the open
ing game of the series, and they will
beat him jutt as surely as Rowland
starts him, New York will win four
straight games. They'll show the Sox the strongest and most effective offense that has been launched by any major league club this year, and don't ever believe that McGraw's own pitchers won't stand up. "Bailee and Schupp are the geratest lefthanders in the country today, and Pol Perritt ranks with' the best of the righthanders. These three are all McGraw will need against the White Sox, or would need against any other club that could be sent against them."
FATE OF THREE-I WILL BE DECIDED SATURDAY
CHICAGO. Oct 4. The fate of the Three-I league which suspended with numerous others shortly after July 4, will be discussed at the annual league meeting called for next Saturday morning. A. R. Tearney of this city, president of the league sent out notices to club owners last night. Several plans will be talked over for playing next season.
Peoria Fans Will Honor Sox Pilot
Palladium Want Ads Pay.
PEORIA, 111., Oct 4. Baseball fans of Peoria are planning to honor Clarence Rowland, manager of the championship Chicago club, at one of the world's series games in Chicago. Rowland, who piloted Chicago to victory in the American league race, formerly was manager of the Peoria club of the Three-I league. Probably 500 fans will make the trip in a special train if arrangements can be made. Jack Ryan, president of the Peoria club, is back of the movement A swarm of grasshoppers was encountered some time agoby a Norwegian vessel about 1,200 miles from the African coast the nearest land.
Daniel "Porky" Flynn, the famous Boston heavyweight, has Joined Uncle Sam's new National Army at Camp Devens, Ayer, Mass. He was eager to get into service and has asserted that he will try and make as good a record as George3 CarpentJer, France's heavyweight fighter, who has won decorations and citations for his bravery with the aviation corps. Photo shows "Porky" Flynn making his last bow in civilian dress, just before throwing his hat into the ring for Uncle Sam. The picture was made as he left Boston for Camp Devens, where he went to take his place in the ranks of the National Army.
GOOD ROADS REDUCE COST OF LIVING By P. G. HOLD EN.
OOR roads from the farm to the market place mean- small loads, slow
and expensive transportation, which in turn mean increased cost ot the products of the farm to the consumer. Two miles an hour with less than a quarter of a load would be
the limit on this road, not to mention the wear and tear on the man, the team, the harness, and the wagon, and the loss of time.
P
veterans, Rundquist, tackle, Kraft,
rnd, and Selaudeman, eenter, Coach Zuppke of Illinois, has been faced the problem of finding a new line, a new back field and a punter and place kicked for the Illini eleven. - After a week at running simple plays. Nichols, a promising sophomore v.-ps chosen for quarterback, Charpler, a two-hundred pound lineman was shifted to fullback and Halas, Larrimer and Bergman took care of the halves. Leo Klein, a star pitcher on the varsity baseball team, Rafferty and McGregor have shown promise as punters, but as yet no place kicker has been developed. With the second week of practice came new formations and hard scrimmage. The line is a big problem and although augmented by new material it will be much lighter than in former years, Zuppke realizes the strength of Kansas and drilled his men hard
all week. Michigan Has New Blood Although practice at the University of Michigan did not get under way until the week of Sept. 24 and one game was - cancelled as a consequence, Coach Yost has been speeding- the work ever since. Michigan is depending on new blood for its 1917 eleven. The team must be built around the veterans. Sparks, Weske, Weimann and : Boyd. A score of former stars and prospective candidates now are serving their country. YoEt has shifted Weimann from tackle to fullback and has been trying out Hanish and Froemke in the back field. Sparks is expected to play quarter. He has gained considerable weight and followers of the sport expect him to be a sensation this year. He certainly has fulfilled such expectations thus far. Sparks may do some of the kicking, but Yost is devoting considerable at
tention to Van Herrden, a soccer play
er from South Africa. The latter knows practically nothing about the American game, but he does know how to drive a football. s The Case game here Saturday will serve to give Yost Yost a line on a number of untried players. Men who
never expected to fight for Michigan on the gridiron will get their chances this year. I. U, a Bit Alarmed The fact that Indiana, with only two veterans in Its line-up, had things practically its own way in triumphing over Franklin a week ago. did not give Coach Stiehm and his assistants opportunity to observe what might be weaknesses in the line. Consequently the contest with Wabash at Bloomington Saturday is viewed with a bit of alarm. Wabash is expected to prove a strong opponent, especially as a number of veterans are in the game
J again this season.
Purdue hopes to make as good a
showing against Franklin Saturda-y as Indiana did a week ago. Coach O'Donnell drove his charges through a heavy scrimmage drill in an effort to build up a stronger line defense. The line-up for the Franklin game may be shifted as a result. Northwestern will send a light but speedy backfield into the game against Lake Forest Saturday. The set of backs Coach Murphy is developing in

eludes two veterans, Koehler and Underbill, of last year's eleven, and two new comers. This shake-up is made necessary as a result of injuries to Brightmire and Ellingwood. Brightmire, a promising quarterback last fall, will be out of the game for perhaps a month because of a damaged ankle. Coach Murphy does not want to risk further injury to players as he is shaping his quad for the all-important game with Ohio State a week hence. These two elevens fougr it out for the conference championship last fallIowa Taking Form. Football prospects at the University
of Iowa are rapidly assuming tengible form, and many of the 'varsity positions have been assigned at least temporarily. Coach Jones has not announced the probable line-up for the game at Iowa City Saturday with Cornell college, but the consistence with which several men have been used in the same positions in scrimmages has afforded this Information to a certain extent. Captain Da-vis apparently will perform at right half, while the veteran Jenkins seema a fixture at quarter
back. Hamilton has the preference at
full, due largely to his punting ability,
ana .Nugent s work bids fair to land him regularly at left half.
- There are a number of promising contenders for the ends and line posi tions, and the ultimata selections are naturally clouded, but from activities of the first two weeks, indications are
that at least some of thes will per
ioral as iouows:
Reed and Bender, ends; Hunzelman
and MCMchols, tackles; Kelley and Cumberland, guards, and Block, center. Helwig is another strong line contender, and Greenwood, Bleeker and Jenson also have ehown their worth. In the backfield, worthy substitutes
and potential first stringers are Loh
man, Brigham, Belding, Drummond
and Pyles.
Lew McCarty, first string catcher of the New York Giants, will be in excellent condition for the world series games next month. "Big Lew" has been out of the game for about two months recovering from a broken leg he received in a game with Cincinnati. McCarty has fully recovered from his injury and will be fit for the big games.

May Invest Dough in Liberty Bonds CINCINNATI, Oct. 4. If a plan suggested by Garry Herrmann, chairman of the national baseball commission, is carried out a large percent of the money taken in at the gate during the world series between the Chicago and New York clubs will be invested in the second issue of Liberty bonds. Herrmann announced that at next Friday's meeting of the commission in Chicago he will recommend to his colleagues that the monies received by the commission, the club owners and players during the series, except such as may be necessary for actual ex
penses, he invested m the bonds. World series receipts in recent years have averaged about $70,000 a game. If Herrmann's plan goes through it would produce at least $250,000 for the bond issue.
