THREE IN FIGHT
FOR STATE TITLE
Central of Omaha, Lincoln and
Beatrice in Running for Foot
Ball Championship.
WILL FORM A CONFERENCE
BY KARL LEE.

This weeks games will probably
definitely map out the last lap in the
race for the Nebraska state foot ball
championship. Although the scores
registered thus far made by leaders
assert definite standings, there is still
time for an upset in the dope. While
one way the fight seems to have SIM
mered to stand between Beatrice,
Lincoln and Omaha, there still re-
mains North Platte and Kearney to
be tested. Both, according to re-
ports, have splendid teams, well bal
anced, and, although comparatively
light, are equal to most any sort OF
battle. South High and York are out
of the race entirely, so far as their
chances of gaining the title are con-
cerned. 1t will be merry battle be.
tween these two teams, Grand Island
and Norfolk for standings in the
first division.
Grand Island, although possessing
a fast, scrappy team, has met with
hard luck in its two defeats with Lin
coin and Beatrice. In its game with
York, November 80, it still has an
opportunity to register for third or
fourth places.
The fight for the title is tied up in
three games, the Central-Beatrice
game, November 8; the Beatrice-Lin-
coin game, November IS, and the
North Platte-Lincoln game, -Novem-
Der "a. In its battle with North
Platte, November 3, Kearney will
have its only try at the title. Alliance
probably the only other possible con
tender for honors, plays North Platte
November IL.
Form Conference.
A "big nine" foot ball conference
will be formed by union of coaches
during the state teachers convention
November s, here. Superintendent 9
Schools ]. M. Showalter of Norfolk
who is a member of the Board o
Control of the State High Schoo
Athletic association, will introduce
the matter at session of the Boarc
of Control during the teachers con
vention. The plan is to make a con
ference to include the best nine foo
ball teams in the state. At the pres
ent, Central, South High, Beatrice
Lincoln, North Platte, Norfolk, York
Grand Island and Kearney are tn
leaders.

A CONFESSION.

A CONFESSION.
We're not base ball expert.
We seldom cop a bet,
We can't predict the winner,
OF the race next year as yet.
We can't foretell gosh-derned thing,
We're not dopster seer,
In fact, we DO not even know,
If there'll be league next year.
Oh, Unquestionably.
We would assume that the
Brooklyns are bowed deeply in
gloom over the loss OF the worlds
series. They only got $1,000 each
for the losers end.

RESTA ONCE MORE
LEADS AUTO RACE
Italian Takes Lead for Ameri-
can Championship by Victory
Over Johnny Aitken.
EDDIE RICK HAS A CHANCE

Dario Resta, the famous Italian
pilot, once more leads the automobile
drivers of the country in the race tor
the championship of the United States
and the trophy of $l3,5Oo cash that
goes with it. Resta resumed the lead
by his victory at Chicago a week ago.
But the Peugeot driver holds the
edge by the skin of his teeth, and
he's not going to cop the title and
kale without vanquishing some tough
etition. Johnny Aitken, Eddie
Rickenbacher and Ralph De Palma
are in hot pursuit, and it is possible
for any one of the three to beat Resta
out.
Resta, by his victory at Chicago,
now possesses total of 5000 points.
Johnny Aitken, the Indianapolis
driver, has 2o4O points. Omaha's ia
yorite SON, Eddie Rickenbacher, has
2,2l0 points, and Ralph De Palma has
1870. Wilbur D'Alene is fifth with
l,l20.
Three More Events.
There are three more championship
events to be held, the Hardness tro-
phy race at New York next Saturday
and the Vanderbilt cup and Grand
Prize classics at Santa Monica in No
yember. The New York race will give
800 points, probably, to the victor, ano
the coast races 300 or 900 points each
so it can be seen any one of the toul
names has chance to win the cher
ished title and mazuma.
Next season drivers will all through
the year carry the numbers on theil
cars corresponding to the position
they earned in the championship fiigh
this year.
| Four Win All Races.
Resta, De Palma Aitken and Rick
enbacher have won every big rae
held this year. Resta won at Indian
apolis, three times at Chicago, and a
Omaha. Rickenbacher won at New
York and Tacoma Aitken won a
Cincinnati, Indianapolis and New
York. De Palma won at Des MONIES
Minneapolis and Kansas City
| Resta has won every big race he'll
on the Chicago speedway. He ha
been in eight events on the Maywoo
oval and captured every one of then
This is record that bids well to stan

The Great Civilizer.

In many recent editorial con trihu-
lions and magazine articles it is con-
clusively prOved-were new proof nee
essary-that the railroad is the most
potent of all factors in the civilization
of mankind. Not only in Il GO -. ercial
sense, but in all ethical and religious
sense the railway is pioneer. for It
makes possible the intercourse of ma
lions, the broadening of ideas, the seek
ing of newer and better things and the
escape from the undesirable. In the
wake of the railway come better con-
ditions of every sort. for better trans
portation advantages beget better COM
mercial conditions and they in turn
beget more intellectual development
and higher ethical standards. That the
railway is built primarily as a bust
ness investment does not alter the case
No claim was ever made that the rail-
way was an ethical enterprise, but
the fact remains, whatever the motive,
that the railway is the handmade of
national progress. commercial, intellec-
tual and religious.-New York Mail.

Frost Cracks,

In the annual lists of earthquakes
registered at the Harvard seismograph-
1c station occasional shocks occurring
in winter are noted as due to frost
cracks"-i. e.. the sudden opening Of
assures in the ground, resulting from
freezing. The late Professor Shaler in
one of his lectures mentioned the oc-
currence of a sensible shock at Cam
bridge some forty years ago, which he
traced to a crack in the frozen ground.
An apparent earthquake near Akron,
O., probably due to frost crack. was
described in the American Geologist.
Vol. 1, 1888. while another, which
caused a mild panic at Attleboro,
Mass, was reported in the Attleboro
Sun of Jan %. 1908. Professor Wood
worth says that this idea of frost
cracks is very widespread in New Eng
land as an explanation of many small
shocks coming at time when the fro
zen ground is known to have cracked
open. "-Philadelphia Press.

hear-which we often do-unreason-
able grumblings about the absence of
trif1ing luXuries on railroads we are
tempted to wish the parties consigned
to good long ride in an old stage
coach. Why, the worst third class that
ever was put next the engine is inf
nitely better than the inside of the best
of them used to be. to say nothing of
the speed. AS to the outsides of the

TIRES OF A MOTORCAR.
Why They Are Found Heated After a
Iona and Fast Run.

1t IS we'll known that after long
and fast run the tires of an automo-
bile are found to be very hot, and
many have supposed this is the result
of the friction Of the tire on the road.
The Scientific American says that such
is not the case, at least as to the great
er portion of the heat.
"The real cause of heating" says that
magazine, lis the internal friction Of
the tire itself. for as the tire is being
constantly detected by contact with
the road the various piles, or layers,
which compose the tire do not act uni
formly, and consequently there is more
or less motion between them that re
suits in friction and heat. The great
er the change i'll shape In the tire as 1t
contacts with the road the greater will
be the friction.
"Of course the harder the tire is pump
ed the less will be the friction. but ii
is evident that. while a perfectly rigid
tire would generate but little heat. it
would fail in giving easy riding. So
we must put up with some heating and
consequent wear of the tire. The sub
ject is one that is being successfully
studied by the tiremaker."
