LET'S START WITH
SOME SIDEWALKS
Two Needed improvements
Will Not Cost Much and
May be the Means Of
Starting Something Good
IF We CAN'T DO BETTER
ClNDERS MAY BE UTILIZED

In unincorporated towns the
public improvements are always up
to the:progressive spirit OF the in
habitants. There Is no board of
trustees to take care Of such things
We OF Carrizoso are in this class,
and what is done must be done by
the public-spirited citizens. The
result OF such cordial cooperation
ia the past has been quite signifi.
cant Many things have been done
by the business mems club and the
civic league for the substantial inn
pro vement Of our town. Bat there
has been lapse of this interest
during the past few months, and
this condition, even though it may
be only temporary, 1t is TO be de-
plored There are some things we
cannot have ut this time-things
which we need and which every
citizen would like to see. But
there are other things which we
can have for slight expenditure
of time and money, and these
things we ought TO have without
any further delay.
At this time, in connection with
the keeping our streets in good re-
pair, The Outlook believes we need
two pieces Of Sidewalk right now
One Of the important pieces OF
, sidewalk which should be put in
without delay is that stretching
from Ziegler Bros corner to the
postofiice and the other from Kelley
Il Sons corner to the court house
OF course, we cannot have cement
walks Just now or, at least, we
presume we will nct-but we can
have good substantial walks built
; of cinders and kept at the proper
> elevation for passage during all
! kinds OF weather. With these two
|, pieces of walk in, and the benefit Of
, there presence ascertained. we will
, have more.
. We can ge' cinders in plenty for
the expense OF hauling them. With
them, we can have reasonably good
! walks.

FANS DISPLAYING
 MUCH INTEREST IN
 NEXT BOXING SHOW

Boxing fans are showing consider able interest in the big bouts to be conducted at the Casino next Monday night under the direction of Ducky Holmes. The latter has always put on first class shows and he declares the coming carnival will be sure to please the spectators
 The star bout between Young Mo Auliffe and Bud Palmer should be ex- citing. McAuliffe has never fought a poor bout in this city He does not resort to sta,Hing tactics and can al ways be depended upon to give the people a run for their money. Palmer is also an aggressive boxer who never hesitates to mix it up. This is sched- uled for ten rounds.
 Young Bosse of this city and Jimmy Fasane of waterbury will ningle in the semi final of eight rounds. Bosse has displayed great form in his bout with Harry Williams last week but he will find Fasane a tough customer. The other bouts will be Jimmy Snyder vs. Teddy Fabryck, and Willie Mclean vs. Young Dundee.

The, results of Saturdays football games gave warning that many up- sets are due this season in the ranks of those eIevens which have hither- to claimed supremacy. Yale was out played by Lehigh and Syracuse made Princeton look weak, although the Tigers prevented their opponents from scoring.
 The defeat of Pennsylvania by Penn State was not entirely unexpected. The Quakers have been s1umptng iff recent years while Penn State has been coming forward by leaps and bounds Later in. the season Penn State meets Harvard and then the Crimson will have a real tryout.
 Harvard made the best sK Kowing of the big teams by rolling up 29 points on the Carlisle Indians. Although the Crimson defense was not very , strong it must be remembered that Coach Haughton put in many substi- tutes. His idea was to give his ma terial a trial rather than to work for a sbig score.
 The overwhelming beating admin istered the Navy by Pittsburgh was a staggering lbloWa to the Annapolis rooters Glenn Warner, the former Carlisle coach, has drilled Pittsburgh thoroughly and the Smokey City boys sock one of the best elevens of the year.
 All records have gone by the board st Yale this year. The students have publicly demanded that LeGore be put into sthe game and the coaches save protested certain officials.

 The students will be labelled as livestock, and their transportation across the state will cost about $e. whereas a trip in Pullmans would cost $25.
 John Thompson and A. c. Wood, Juniors in the School of Economics, have arranged with the Pepnsylva- mia railroad to freight the students to Philadelphia. Straw will be plac- ed in the earssfor their comfort. The students will carry their own food.

 The weather. first consideration to many followers Of baseball, was as fair as a summer day. The question of pitchers was again the momentous question of the day. The prospect that Alexander woufd twirI for Phi1adel- phia was an attraction to the crowd but with it was the intirnation also that Manager Carrigan might use Dutch Leonard for the Red Sox.

WAGNER'S. OWN COLUMN

The Lehigh players were guilty ot rough tactics at the Bowl, Saturday, In addition to jumping on Harry Le- Cores head they aroused the anger of the spectators by winding their legs around the Yale players in or der to hold the Eli men during a play.
 A critic who saw the Harvard game with Carlisle, Saturday, said the Crimson backfeld was very fast and handled the ball without funbling. The Harvard line did not appear to be as strong as YaIe's in the Virginia game.
 Opinion among Yale men is that .Lehigh should be dropped from the schedule as a result of the unsperts- manlike tactics employed Saturday Five veterans, upon whom Coach Hinkey was depending, will be out of the practice for some time as a result of injuries received. They are Quar- terback Thompson, End Betts, Guard Black, Tackle Baldridge and Fu1lback Guernsey.
 Big Bill AHollenback, the former University of Pennsylvania star. says three of the strongest football teams in the country are Penn State, Uni versity of Pittsburgh and Washing ton and Jefferson. Last year the -Pitt-w & J. game drew 27,Ooo and the Penn State-Pittt contest drew 25,- 900. Football is all the rage in, Western Pennsylvania and the teams have the best of equipment.

ASTOR RAGE
 WINNERS GET
 MONEY TODAY

New York; Oct. 1.-The Sheeps~ head Bay Speedway presented 9 de- serted appearance yesterday as com pared with the opening day, when, perhaps, the largest crowd ever brought together for a, sporting event in the metropolitan district attended the inaugural ceremony of the S4,- 000,0O0 motor-racing track.
 Few of the racing pilots put in an appearance, being Eontented to rest after their strenuous efforts of Satur- day. Among those who made the trip to the Speedway late in the after noon the general impression existed that the two Stutz cars which finish ed first and second in the race were justly entitled to the honors, and Gil Anderson and Tom Rooney, the driv- CTS of the first two Years, were still busy receiving congratulations.
 Perhaps the big surprise of the race was the failure of the Peugeot cars. Although these were handled by the most famous auto pilots an American motor history. they were put out of the race at different stages through the troubles that frequently eliminate machines in competition.
 The drivers received their rewards today Eight cars finished the race. and the drivers of these machines will receive sums ranging from $2O.0OO to $1,20O in addition to 1,60O donate by accessory firms throughout t j country.

YALE PROTESTS
 OFFICIALS IN
 LEHICH CONTEST

New Haven, Conn, Oct. 11-Ya1e has for the first time formally pro- tested to the. Central Board of Officials
 against the assignments of officials l sent to Yale football games. The ac-
 tfon Of the entire set who conducted
 the Yale-Lehigh game Saturday is re- garded as adverse to the interests of
 the college sport, and a vigorous letter has been sent4to the central board in
 forming 1t of the feeling at Yale. Since Yale came under the central boards s 1 scope of authority two years ago there has been little cause for complaint un- ] 9f1 Saturday.
 The Yale coaches saw repeated vio- I lations of the rules by the Lehtgh 1 players which escaped the notice of the officials. and Head Coach Kinkey Itconmitted an act almost without prec-
 edent against their ignoring viola
 lions any longer.
 Several Yale and sLehigh players be-
 cande>-nixed up in a physical argu-,
 xnent when Harry Legore, the Yale
 1t1N back, was jumped upon after SCOT ing the only touchdown of the day. Yale, players pulled Lehigh men off Legore, but the officials refused to in 'sffct a penalty. Once Yale player
 was held by the ear without penalty
 upon the offending player.
 i Denfalsy were made last night by Yale football authorities that any change in the coaching staff would be made before the close of the season. Former players and captains were in
 close conference till after usidnight Saturday night on the ,problenSof i'm
 proving the Yale team play. bus it was sannounced that no change in the coaching policy was con5idered
 There is no friction amotg the coaches. and we believe that every thing will come out all right said ex- Captain TaIbott, one of the coa=hes. $
 Professor Robert Corwin, wE.o sue ceeded Walter Camp as member of the Athletic Cornnnittees said: There is no truth in the report that tne res agnation of Head Coach HinkeL is be- ing considered or that he is liSely to Resign
