Dick Carroll has for the past six
years been manager of the Goodrich
company's store in Los Angeles and
has made such an enviable reputa-
ton for sales in the south that he
was Mr.. Cooks natural successor,
and now has full charge of the en-
tire territory covered both by the
San Francisco and Los Angeles
branches. His jurisdiction covers
not only tires but everything in rub
Der, bearing the Goodrich Trade
mark. This includes footwear, clo-
thing, drug sundries, hose of all
kinds. betting, etc.
Mr.. Carroll's wonderful success is
attributed in large measure to his
aggressive, energetic management.
While young in years, his splendid
judgment and insight into local con-
ditions and his quickness to see and
grasp the various opportunities for
extending the sales of the Goodrich
line has yielded such substantial re-
turns that he has been recognized as
the most successful tire manager in
Southern California and his selec-
ton to take charge of a larger field
comes with no surprise to his friends
both in Los Angeles and San Fran

here for several years previous to
his managership in Los Angeles and

that he is coming back home.

given a surprise dinner at the Hotel

WHAT CHEER OFFICE ROBBED.
Thieves DemoIish Safe But Secure
Little Money.

What Cheer, Oct. 13.-Burglars
wrecked the What Cheer postoffice
early Friday morning, during the gale
Of wind that swept the land. The
howl of the wind deadened the noise
Of the shots and the robbers had things
their own way. Four reports were
heard by people in the block, about ten
minutes apart, but on account of the
wind no one could guess the location.
The safe evidently resisting the first
attempts was worked upon with sub
sequent heavier charges of explosive.
When 1T finally yielded the charge was
so heavy that not only was, the strong
box demolished but the room and
building damaged. The glass at the
front Of the room was smashed by the
force of the explosion and some OF the
pieces of the safe were blown thru the
floor. The back and sides were blown
to bits and the contents scattered
everywhere about the room.
4 Little money was in the safe as the
bulk Of the office funds and stamped
paper is kept in the bank safe not far
away. Whatever of stamps or cash
might have been in the safe was so
scattered that the thieves could not
find 1t in the litter that prevailed.
Practically the only loss is that of the
demolished safe.

the loser will be eliminated from the
championship. These two elevens
fought it out for the conference cham
pionship last fall, and Ohio annexed
the honors. The Buckeye team Is vir-
tually as strong, If not stronger, this
year. Critics believe it will be GER

Missouri and Kansas since 1t II with
these two teams alone that Nebraska
will compete for the valley title.
Coach Beau" Olcott describes his
Jayhawker eleven as a good scrappy
bunch which means that he Is fairly
well satisfied with the kansans' prog
ress. The backtield is composed OF
Captain Nielsen, Joe Casey and stem
Foster, with the fourth position, that
of one of the halves, somewhat In
doubt. Shinn and Laslett, veterans,
are going we'll on the ends. But the
coach is now devoting his attention
to developing a star. The Jayhawkers,
who were beaten, % to 0. by Illinois
last Saturday, will not start their con-
ference competition until Oct. ~, when
they meet the Ames Aggies at Law
renee. In the meantime they Will play
Emporia, Kan. normals and the Wash
burn College eleven.
The Ames Aggies smashed their way
to a Al to 0 victory in their first game
with Simpson College. Two favorites.
Aldrich. the veteran quarterback,
whose work caused both admiration
and respect among the conference
teams last season, and Heater. another
back, were made by their work against
the college team.
The other Iowa member OF the con-
ference Drake is heard from Tor the
iirst time. A dearth of veterans seems
to have been hampering the develop
ment of a team and Coach Hobbs, VINO
is making his debut in conference al
fairs this season, has been having diff
culties in whipping his men into shape'
George Ncel, right tackle, !s the new
captain of the Bulldogs. Ut is limited
that the Drake men will not be as
easily handled on the gridirons OF the
other valley teams in former years.
Washington Is still an unknown
quantity. Little hope is extended 10
them by conference followers In TINS
early part Of the season, but they may
run well at its close.
Missouri Is becoming enthusiastic
over it's prospects. Coach Schultz Is
concentrating himself upon the fact
that his Is the only team to play all
OF the other valley conference eleVens
and thus has the fighting chance Tor
a clean cut championship. He now
has a fast backfleld and his line has
developed two or three fair prospects
for all-valley material. Schultz Is also
seeing to it that some lcickers are UNI
der the process of development. just
what style the Missouri team Is to play
is difficult to predict for the coach be-
lieves in varied repertoire, which IN
cludes bit of any style which may
be opened up which the occasion de-
mands.
The Missouri team will face the Kan
sas Aggies in their first conference
game today at Columbia. This Will be a
contest Of speed and wits, with two
early season star backtleld aggrega-
tions matched against the other Critics
believe 1t is an even toss as to which
one will eliminate the other in the first
round for the conference title.
