average football year after year. and
also because they are tho largest uni

referred to Harvard. Yale. Princeton.
Pennsylvania, Dartmouth and Cornell
as the big Six" But this year they
have been hard pressed to maintain a
semblance Of their class greatness.
Up to the first Saturday In November.
when these Institutions started their
so-called championship season. each

should be made Of Dartmouth. whose
single defeat was at the hands OF
Princeton.
Probably there never were 20 many
early season defeats recorded in our
football history. yet not ono Of the big
colleges has had anything but praise

OVERLAND HAS
 A NEW SIX
Another Manufacturer En- ters the Multi-Cylindel' Class - Announce ement t Came as Surprise Even to the Trade

An announcement of more than usu- al interest to the general automobile trade and the public, bur more partlc- ularly to the many dealers who handle Overland cars, has just come from the WilIys Overland company.
 So quietly that few have had an ink ing of the plans, overland engineers have for the past season been deNei- oping and testing new, seven-p pas senger. six-cylinder overland.
 In spite of the production of 50,oo0 cars, this year. the demand for Over land cars, it is said, has been so great during the season just drawing to a close that the principal difficulty of the dealer has been to obtain a plen- tiful supply.
 As announced some time ago. Pres ident J. N. Willy will materially in crease his production of four -cylin- der models for 1915, while the new six-cylinder overland, whose prepa1.- ation has been so carefully guarded, will, for one thing, serve the purpose of giving overland dealers a line of ears so complete and inclusive as to enable them to satisfy the varying de- mands of their customers with the product of a single manufacturer.
 After having been passed upon by MT Willys and his sales staff the pro- duction of the new six will progress with usual celeritY. so that an ade- quate supply of them will be ready for the market in the late summer or early fall.
 The siX-cylinder addition to the Ov- erland line will retail at $147j.00, at which figure it has all the appearance of a record breaking value that is un- attainable to any but an old and we'll equipped, quality producing manufac- turer.
 In appearance the Overland six is stylish and impressive, and according to the manufacturers. revelation ir service. The Wheelbase is 125 inches

WH|TEW|NGS REPORTED
 THICK SOUTH OF TEMPE
Game Birds Said to be Especially Numerous About Four Miles South
 of Tempe; Many Gun Parties

For the sportsman, it is sufficient nowadays to learn that the white wings are flying. He will brave every terror of heat and dust to spend a few hours in the fields, searching for the birds he loves best-on the wing and on toast.
 Reports gathered lately have it that the most vigorous flight of dove and white wings in the valley is now to be found south of Tempe, about four miles, Rancher Mullen of that district sends in word that his fields are full of white wings.
 Gunners are making up parties regularly, now, and the luck is gen. erally good. The Buckeye country has again proven rich, for the crit ters like the wheat fields of that region.

UNCLE SAM GIVES YUMA
 \ PART OF CALIFORNIA
Tract Transferred to Arizona by Wanderings of Colorado River
 Made Over to City

Because the Rio Colorado acted up and changed it's course, Arizona is now richer by many acres than be- fore. This happened years ago, and California was the loser Now comes the announcement that the United States, which held part of this transferred land as a military reser- vation, has donated 92S acres to the city of Yuma.
 The plat was filed in the land of flee by the surveyor general yester- day
 A peculiar procedure noted in con nection with this deal is the fact that in making filings on this land which was formerly California's, re- ference must be made to the San Bernardino base and meridian. The original surveys were made under that system, so all subsequent work must follow. This is the only in stance of one state having to use bench marks located from a survey base of another state
