NO SECRET WORK AT IOWA CITY
Coach Griffith Does Not Believe In
Locking the Gates.

LOckinR the Gates.
IOWA CITY. la, Sept. 25.-(Special)-
Upsetting all traditions Coach John q.
Griffith Of the University Of Iowa foot bail
team has announced that he will do away
with secret practice, at least for the pres
ent.
Il do not see much advantage in closing
the gates Of Iowa field. As soon as Jim
mie.' the gstekeeper, gets the freshmen
spotted there will be little chance Of
strangers getting into the field to watch
the practice
This is Coach Griffith's summary OF his
opinions on secrecy. He believes that to
allow the students TO watch the players
will result In more enthusiasm in the un-
dergraduate body and that the candidates
will strive harder in the practice.
The experiment will probably be tried
until the Minnesota game a week from
today. II the nightly practice is satisfac-
tory with the bleachers filled It will he

work and better execution of the new shift
plays which the coaches planned this sum
mer for the Gophers.
Still the quarterback position worries the
coaches. Stewart is the man il he can get
into condition. But granting he is in shape
for the Minnesota game and is injured the
question OF a substitute is a further bother.
Fee played fine foot ball for his weight
last year at half and for the last five
evenings he has been at quarterback. He
has shown promise in the position, but
lacks the experience of Stewart.
Hyland al right end and Gross at right
tackle are playing better than ever before.
On the other side of the line are new men,
Kresensky. Hull and Hazard. The first two
are new to varsity foot ball and Hazard
was a back field man last season. O'Brien
looks like the goods for center and Ham
son. the new right guard, kicks the ball
further in practice than any man on the

Of some parts OF Belgium was such that

Belgian railways seriously considered avail
ing themselves Of the use Of the auto

would have been a decidedly Improbable
execution Of that part Of their obligations
which called for the extension OF the rail-
way In the partially deserted districts.
"Th broad principle underlying this is.
OF course. equally applicable to any
sparsely populated territory irrespective Of
the cause of that sparseness. We venture
the opinion that II the dissection Of the
census of 1920 is such as to reveal il. II
will be found that the migration during the
preceding decade will nave been from the
city to the country, at least, in a large
part Of the United States. We are not

About 100 families are expected to

to be allotted to each family will run

PENDLETON INDUSTRY
DOES HANDSOME WORK

A realization of the exceptionally
fine work being turned out by one
local manufacturing plant, the Pen
dleton planning mill, can be gained by
visit to the Alexander department
store, the L. G. Frazier book store or
the Taylor hardware store. Four Of
the handsome show cases being turn
ed out at the mill have just been in
stalled in each of these places and
they are models of workmanship and
beauty.
They are constructed of quarter
sawed oak and beveled plate glass,
giving them a class appearance. Those
who have seen them declare that the
Pendleton-made goods are equal to
anything that can be secured abroad.
The fame of these show cases is
rapidly spreading and several ship
ments have been made into eastern
Washington, some of the cases going
as far north as Ellensburg.

Other local dealers will stock up

Buyers of Indian robes should look
