MANY SURPRISES IN
Big GRIDIRON GAMES
Pittsburgh's Easy Victory Over Syra-
cuse Upset the Dope.

New York. Oct 28.-The football world
today still gasps over the most startling
Eesults Of Saturdays battling-Pitts-
ful Syracuse eleven.
The day furnished a number of sur
prises and brought about several upsets.
But all are Of minor league" variety in
Comparison with that Pitt-Syracuse af-
fair. Syracuse, with a line averaging
close to no pounds from tackle to tackle,
went into that game a favorfte in the
betting. The best that It was expected
Pittsburgh would do was to hold the
Orange team to a tie. But the Panther
backs ripped through that tremendous
line at will; they circled the ends when
ever they pleased. They played super
football. and by their overwhelming tri-
unph have forced the enthusiasts to the
conclusion that they rank as one of the
greatest elevens OF the year.
Harvard's clean-cut victory over the
Massachusetts, Aggtes brought Joy to the
hearts OF the Crimson rooters. The Cam
bridge backs, for the first time this sea-
son exhibited scoring ability. Princeton

Forward Passer Profits
By Ignorance Of Men
Who Can Tackle Him

New York, Oct. 23.-Some day we
will see team whose players
when on defense do not stand like
cooks in front of a forward passe-.
For one psychological reason or
another the men breaking through
whom a forward pass Is to be
thrown do nothing but stand
dancing in front of the thrower as
though they feared a penalty II
they laid hands upon him. Their
sole thought seems to be to inter-
cept or block the pass, not to pre-
vent it altogether by knocking him
down and putting fear into the
thrower's heart.
Time and again in big games and
little games will you see this spec
tacle of the thrower standing i'm
mune with defenders dancing
about him until the ball leaves his
hand; it is perfectly permissible to
launch into him and bring him to
earth. The thrower has the ball,
and as a result Is perfectly legiti-
mate prey for tacklers.
A sharp defense breaking through
and smashing into the throwers Of
the pass would certainly prove a
valuable supplement to down-feld
defense.

Little Alma Kutz. thirteen years OF ago. the
first prize winner made her money from the sale
of tomatoes and asters grown on one-eighth OF
an acre All the work Of planting and harvesting
the crops she did herself, with the exception OF
the first blowing of the land early in the spring
She prepared beds for her tomato plants. ana
made covering of window glass for them Next
she bought 200 small fowerpots, and when the
tomato plants were well up transplanted the"
into the pots.
While the plants growing she marked on
the plat into thirty inches apart and
short time later transplanted the tomato plants
from the pots to the plat. Tho next rev weeks
she was busy cultvating the plants. keeping the
rows entirely free of weeds When the plants
had spread out so much that she could not hoe
them any more she went between the rows and
pulled out the weeds with her hands.
About the twentieth of June there were many
nice ripe tomatoes on the vines and she gathered
her first box which she sold for 81. As fast as
the tomatoes rpened she picked them and packed
them carefully into crates. and every day her
father carried them in to the Chicago market
along with product from his own truck garden.
In all she gathered 225 boxes OF tomatoes WHICH
brought her $113.
On a part of her plat she planted asters tate
in the season and from the sale OF these she
realized 49, finding ready market for all she
could offer to the florist shops of Chicago The
flowers were shipped in fresh by parcel post each
evening Her total expenses $500 for the
two crops thus leaving her net profit Of $1O5l0.
This money she has loaned to her father at 6
per cent interest, and she expects next season to
double the amount of her land and her income
