8 Bleich Greek Wrestler, After Years Of Faithful
: Drudgery Gets Chance to Shine for His Michigan

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Oct. 14.-(Spe-
ciaD-For the past three years the
faithful students who never miss the
daily, football practice on Ferry field
have been watching the antics OF a
short, dark haired person with a mag
'nificient pair of shoulders and fiam-
ing red jersey on the scrub team.
Time after time they have seen him
make half the tackles made by his
team during scrimmages, and they
have wondered why he was never
seen on the varsity eleven.
Saturday he had his chance, being
sent in at end during the latter part
of the game, the first time he has
ever had the honor of representing
his university on the gridiron.
( The short person is Bleich, a Greek.
whose early training was acquired
around the docks at Buffalo. For
three years he has been trying to
make the team. He weighs about $50
pounds and Is as hard as nails. IL

an ordinary individual wish the game
OF football had never been invented.
Bleich first attracted the attention
of the football fans three years ago
after the daily scrimmages on Ferry
field had started. He wore a red
sweater. and because OF this fact II
was easy TO pick him ont of the
bunch OF aspirants for football honors,
and II did not take the spectators in
the stands long TO learn that every
time the man carrying the ball was
downed. Bleich was there or there
abouts. II was positively uncanny the
way the red sweatered scrub seemed
to be always where the ball wsA
located
Plays on his side of the line were
stopped by him quickly, and nine
times out OF 10 when the play was on
the other side of the line he made
the tackle also. Quick as cat, and
q deadly tackler IL looked to the lay
man as though he would certainly
make the team, but he didn't.
Last year he was. again out with
the scrub team playing just as hard
as he did the year before. and making
just as many tackles. However, he
went through the season as a men,

attracted the attention OF Coach Yost,
and he was one of the men invited
here for early practice this year. Dur
ing the early practice games he work
ed faithfully, tackled well, and just
a time when II looked as though he
had a chance to land on the team he
injured his left leg so badly that
further practice for him was out OF
the question until the injury healed.
He was out of uniform just one day,
and the next day he was back at Fer.

Saturday, Yost showed him In at
end, and he put up fairly good game,
although as he went in at a time when
M A. C.'s offensive work was rather
ragged. he was not really put to the
test. II would not be surprising II

Rube Marquard and S. Joe Wood

Rivals years ago in the American
association, Joe Wood and Rube Mar

the final battle of the worlds series.
All OF this years dope indicates
that Wood is much better pitcher
than Marquard. despite the Rube's
record run OF 10 straight victories.
But when they were both In the
American association Rube was SEN

was organized by property owners and
residents Of Oxon Hill district, Prince
George county, Nd, last evening at a
meeting held in the residence OF DR..
T. H. McKeown. in New Cut road, for
this purpose. In response to the call

first citizens association, at least in
recent years, to be formed in that part
of Maryland.
Jesse L. Heiskell and DIR. McKeown.
who were named to constitute a COM
mittee on constitution and bylaws some
time ago. submitted the rules under
which they though the organization
should be conducted. Their report was
adopted. Citizens OF Oxon Hill district
who have reached the age of twenty
one years, whether property owners or
merely residents, are eligible for mem
bership. The object Of the association
Is stated to be the general welfare Of

president; DR.. e. P. Simpson, first vice
president; Jefferson Webster, second
vice president; John f. Powell. third
vice president; DR.. T. H. McKeown,
secretary; Benson Mcdaniel, financial
secretary and treasurer.
No committees were appointed. nor
was there any but an informal discus
sion Of civic questions affecting the
Oxon Hill district 1t was agreed that
the association shall hold quarterly ses-
sions, and the next meeting will be held
in the public school known as School.
No. /, Oxon Hill district.
The citizens present expressed hearty
qualification over the formation of the
association, which, they declared, Will
accomplish much good In the commun-
ity. That the need OF such an organt-
cation has been woefully felt was ad-
mitted by several of the leading resi-
dents. Although quarterly meetings are
provided for the association can be
called together at any time by the
president or upon request OF q suffici-
ent number of members.
Oxon Hill Is a thriving Maryland town
located souh OF Congress Heights. The
Oxon Hill body will have much to dc
with road and bridge improvements
and the general upbuilding of the COM
munity.

engine hardly had settled when the
Zapatistas sprang UP from all sides
and poured a murderous fire. into the
train.

second class coach, in which were rid

captain and two lieutenants. The feder-
ais got out Of the car as quickly as pos
sible and answered the fire of the as
sailants, but their efforts were futile.
All of the command, with the exception
Of ave wounded and two who escaped,
were killed.
Thirty passengers in the second class
coach were killed and many wounded.
In the first-class coach no one was
killed, but FIVE were dangerously wound

American, named Allen, is not expected
to live.
