ADSOLVES
FORDHAM ELEVEN
FROMROUGHPLAY

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-seyeral days
ago word came from Ithaca, un-
officially, that after the way the
Fordham football team acted against
the Cornell eleven in the recent Ford
ham victory by 81 to C, no Maroon
team ever again would be asked to
play the Cornell combination. Cornell
men have complained that Fordham
roughed the Ithacans beyond all
necessity.
Inquiry from C. J. McCarty. jr., OF
Philadelphia, who refereed the game,
brought the information that as far
as he could see Fordham played a
perfectly clean game, and besides
played far better football than he
thought it could put up. Here's what
McCarty has to say on the subject:
Talk about the rough game played
by Fordhsm against Cornell is news
to me. did not think Fordham play
ed anything but good, clean football.
The tackling was excellent, and when
the Cornell man was put out it was
on a legitimate play. Frankly, was
surprised at the game played by the
New Yorkers. They were not guilty
OF any 'muckerism' and played no
harder than other teams ] have seen
this year. In one article ! read that
a Cornell player protested TO one of
the officials, and the only satisfac-
tion he received was a five-yard pen
atty against his own side. Here is
how II happened: A Cornell man
emerged from a scrimmage with a
bloody nose He rushed up to the
umpire and said:
Did you see that guy slug me"
NO. replied the umpire, I did
not
"'where are your eyesT demanded
the player. Get on the job and use
them. That's what you are here for
'He continued to upbraid the UNI
pire until a fve-yard penalty silenced
him.
But you can take It from me, there
was no dirty football played by Ford
ham against Cornell In Justice to
Fordham I wish to make that point
clear"

OFF-SEASON BRINGS OUT
SHINING QUARTERBACKS

In a so-called o7f-season, the 1917
gridiron campaign has developed some
amazingly brilliIrr quarterbacks. In
deed, backfield players have stood
out more prominently than forwards

wards hogged the spotlight.
In the South, Altert Hin. OF Geor-
gia Tech, is considered the greatest
quarterback in captivity. II speed in
driving an attack counts for any,
thing, Hill must be the goods, for
his eleven was second only TO Gil
mour Dobie's Middies in total points
scored. Hill is cool. has excellent
generalship, tackles strongly, and is .
fair punter.
In the Middle West Weston, Of
Michigan, has been compared with
Waiter Eckersali. Charlie DAILY or
Frank Mt. Pleasant. Certainly, in the
onward march of the Wolverines to
victory, Weston was most brilliant.
He did not play against Penn or
Northwestern, both OF which games
were Michigan defeats. He started
against the Quakors, but was disqual-
flied for fisticuf.s with Joe Strauss,
the Penn halfbsck.
Ben Boyuton Has Glass.
In the East P.n Boynton, OF the
undefeated williams eleven, is con-
sidered the best quarterback in ac-
tion. Indeed, Eastern writer's say

TO LIFE CONFERENCE.
Local Y. M. C. A. to Send Boys to Des

At least ten or twelve boys from the
local Y. NJ. G. A. who have begun 20
think seriously of their life work. will
represent the Marshailtown ASSOCIATION
at the first life work conference ever
held in this state for high school boys.
The conference IS to be in Des Moines,
March so and 81. and will present to
the boys who are seniors in high school
the opportunities offered by seven diff
ferent professions.
The boys will be entertained by the
Hi-Y clubs of Dies Moines. with enter
tainment consisting Of bed and break
fast furnished. and banquet giver:
Friday evening, which is to be included
in the enrolment fee.
Only high school seniors will be en-
tertained this year. and the idea will be
to show them by talks and personal in
terviews with big business men Of Dies
Moines the various advantages accru-
ing from different professions. The
Y NJ. c. A. committee In charge wishes
TO start the boys thinking about their
life work before they enter college.
On the program will be talks setting
forth the fields of Y N. c. 4. secre
taryship. of education and teaching, of
agriculture. of Law, and medicine The
field Of the ministry will also be taken
up.
Because the local association has had

ference will be of special interest to
many here

Dogs Turn Wild:
Kin L;ve Stock

A case OF dogs retrograding and be-
coming wild in somewhat the same
way az did the husky in Jack London's
story. 1.-THE Call OF the Wild" has oc-
Cured near Melbourne. There are
two dogs which have turned wild ana
are killing live stock, mostly sheep.
Farmers in the neighborhood fear the
offspring of the grown wild dogs will,
grow into a pack of killers.
Where the dogs which became wild
came from 1t could not be learned.
But, however that may be, it became
evident few weeks ago that two ami
mails, supposed to be wolves at the
time, were doing damage among live
stock. Eventually occasional glimpses
OF the animals which. seemingly, were
as cautious and distrustful of man as
timber WOLF were seen. 1t then be-
came established that they were 10.
wolves at all but dogs, and both fe-
males Of their species.
Recently both animals became moth
ers. The litter of one was whelped in
what is supposed to have been an
abandoned wolf hole in the bank Of a
creek. The other chose for her nest a
nesting place of the first was discover
ed, the pups were dug out and destroy
ed, but the mother escaped. The other
mother led her family away to some
other hiding place before her nest was
found.
The nests found were on the c. H.
Diggins farm, little more than two
miles north of Melbourne. The county
has already been called upon to pay for
live stock injured and killed by these
dogs, one payment having been made
to Diggins. 1t is understood that other
claims are to be made, including one
or more by Alfred Rohrer, neighbor
of Diggins. who has had animals killed
or manned.
1t is not improbable that the dogs.
having become canine bandits by kill
ing sheep, have as a result turned wild
and ceased to frequent the vicinity of
humans except at safe times. merely
by reason Of their sheep killing expe-
rience. 1t is a quite common fact that
killing live stock preys on dogs con
science" and killer" is never the
same frank, open, friend of man after
one sheep killing experience as he was
before it.
