Eastorn scribes say that Maulb

Eastern scribes say that Maulbetscb. the Michigan halfback, hits the line harder than any man who has played on an Eastern griiron for ton years. It didn't seem possible, in the minds of the Eastern enthusiasts, for man to smash into line of human bodies with the force that Maulbetsch does and come out Of the game without @ broken neck.
 The way that Maulbecht Tammed the husky Harvard line in that liar. yard-0iichigan game will be talked of in Eastern football circles for many years to come.
 Tho East had been prepared to see in 8laulbescht 9 good line smasheE but 1t didn't exnect to see miracu- ious plunging halfback. such as he has proved himself to be.
 In that game against Harvard, Michigan sained ground almost twice as much ground as did Harvard and Maulbescht did four-fifths of the ground gaining for that eleven. Ney- or since the days Of Heston has any one witnessed bucking of the kind that Maulbeschl showed during the first period of that game and again in the third period His gains weren't puny one and lwo-yard affairs. They at ways ranged from five yards to ten or twelve yards almost every time he carried the ball.

LONDON on. ALERT
 FOR THE ZEPPELlNS

A London business man has written to a friend In New York some facts re- earding London's protection against Zeppelin attack as follows;
 I think that no one has begun to feel any anxiety with regard to re, maining in England while at the same time there is no disposition to make light of possible dangers which may develop in the course of long war, Tn fact London is. as you doa0tiess know, taking great precautions nov against the danger Of a Zeppelin at. tack. Numerous and stringent reGulo' tions have been made and are being enforced with regard to Che night iEa t ing Of the city The street lights have been cut down to minimum bota in number and in che intensity oi those remaining. The lighting of private aud public buildings is also careiliiy supervised Motorcars are iorDiaden to carry any dazzling lights and arg obliged to put out all lights when crossing bridges. and to travel with only one small light in certain thor. oughlares. A good many people think that these precautions are uncaiied for. but the general opinion seems 70 be that they at least bring home with emphasis to the people the gravity of the situation and the reallty oi WaE. think 1t would be mistake to sup- pose that these steps create appienens sion or that public confidence is tnere- by decreased. They seem to mo ga'li' er to be looked upon with Interest ana approval and as an indication that tne authorities arc taking au nece5 aafy

It now develops that the Evanston

have as strong a claim 10 the cham
pionship title OF the middle west as
they contended at first The North
ends defeated Caberry. Ill. by score
OF 90 TO Il, while the fast Taylorville
eleven defeated Caberry by a count
of 25 TO o. The Evanston eleven had
only a margin of one touchdown in
this game. while the TaylOrville eleven
had a four touchdown lead. Caberry
IS the only eleven the two rivals have
met. and the only way in which the
relative strength Of the teams can be
compared.
Consequently II the Red Men defeat
the North Ends in their battle Sunday
they will only be tied with Taylor
vile for the state title The game
Sunday will be started at 2:S0. The
Chicago boys will arrive on the 1:52

johnson. the star quarterback OF the
Evanston eleven, is expected to &C
company the team. Owing to injuries
incurred in a Thanksgiving game he
only played in one quarter of the
game with the Independents.

Mrs. Carman is tall, perhaps 5 feet
8 inches, and moderately slender. Her
face is coldly handsome. Her large
expressionless eyes are the gray blue
of an autumn flower. Underneath
them there is a smudge of blueish
flesh printed by the thumb of time.
Her nose is long and slightly tilted,
her mouth regular, and when she
smiles, as she does frequently during
the trial, it reveals wonderfully per-
feet teeth.
She is dressed in a tailor-made cos
tune of dark blue, buttOned almost to
the throat, in this seasons fashion.
But a wide collar of white linen,
which has a pleated Tuffle, softens
her throat.
To all appearance she is as, calm as
