OPENING COLLEGE
 FOOTBALL SEASON

New York, Sept 29.-With the con tests this afternoon all of the promi
 nent football teams among the East ern college get under way for the l season of 1917. The season thus be
 gun will probably go down in the rec" ords as tn most peculiar since the l first introduction of the gridiron sport in America.
 Harvard, Yale and Princeton this
 year are without varsity elevens, for
 the first time in nearly half century.
 Many of the smaller colleges have abandoned all idea of playing varsity football this year because of the small number of men available. The ten tative schedules announced by them at the close of last season or this spring have been cancelled. Numerous other colleges have materially reduc- ed the number of games to be played.
 Since the last football season the United States has become involved in the world war. At first there was practically a panic among the col leges, which plunged into intensive military training and abolished ath- letics right and left. Since then wiser counsel has prevailed and practically all of the colleges are making at tempts to resume sports in some fash ion.
 President Wilson sounded the first note in favor of continuing school and college athletics and he has been supported by Secretary of War Baker and others in authority. Further evil dence of a general need and desire to continue athletics was brought out at the conference held in Washington early in August by the National Colle" giate Athletic association. This con- ference recommended that athletics be continued during the coming year, with increased efforts to develop the sports for all rather than for the chosen few. It was further recom- mended that the schedule for intercol- legiate sports be carried out so far as local conditions allow, cale being taken not to interfere with the mili- tary training of the students or to conflict with the military interests of | the nation.
 While many of the colleges will at l

New York Cotton.

New York, Sept 29.-The cotton market was irregular early today with the trade showing nervousness while waiting for a better. line on the ef- fleets of the tropical storm. Early ad- vices suggested that there had been high winds along the east gulf coast with heavy rains extending into the interior, but whether there had been any material damage to crops was un- certain The market opened steady at an advnce of one point to de- cline of 15 points, generally lower un- der liquidation for over the week end and the approaching government re- port Selling otherwise was restrict ed by the storm uncertainties, how ever and after selling off from 23.7Oc ] 10 23.50c December rallied to 2369c

 Apprehension that Monday morning would bring many reports of storm damage to the crop, caused enough covering to send December up to 23. 79c and January to 23.65c during the middle of the morning. or about s to 12 joints net higher Reactions followed under renewed liquidation or realting for over the week end, however with the close barely steady at nc loss of to II points.

tempt to carry out these recommend tions it goes without saying that they will be considerably handicapped in their efforts. It will be necessary to cut expenses all along the line, for the athletic treasuries will be greatly depleted. There will be a great cut in the income from the football games this fall because of curtailed sched- ules and lessened interest due to the absence of so many famous players
 It will probably be found difficult to get enough competent officials to go around, just as it has beer difficult already for many of the colleges to secure competent coaching staffs.
 Football as a game will present no novelties this season. It has been found pretty satisfactory during the last few years and alterations in the

MEN WAIVED

As a result of the war there is ar
 enormous demand in all lines of busi
 ness, both public and private. fo,
 trained men and women. Leading men of the nation are unanimous in
 the opinion that it is patriotic duty TOT men who are not eligible for army service to pursue bu'cness or techn,. cal training and fit themselves for ser vice elsewhere.
 Young men who are not in the se- lective draft, are wanted in business positions provided they3have the right training. Little Rock and Arkansas business men are begging now for trained help: they need men-great numbers of them-and must have them. It Is spleadid opportunity for those who will train themselves in bookkeeping, shorthand.xand ether branches of clerical work.
 MT. George A. Mclean. President of Draughon's Business College of Little Rock, Ark, advises that the demand for office help has trebled fin volume during the last three or four months, and that in August alone. nearly 200 positions were offered the of his school. A very large could not be filled as there was not sufficient number of trained available. Mir Mclean strong " urges business training and says that wonderful opportunities are now open to the young men and women of Arkansas.
 Those who are looking for an op- oortunity and believe in the "Do fl 1ow" spirit. should, by all means. communicate with MT. Mclean and earn his plan for assisting young peo- >le to prepare for business life.

RADCLIFFE GIRLS DON'T KNOW
HOW A BABY CREEPS, BUT
HARVARD BOYS CAN TELL
(BY UNITED PRESS,

CAMBRIDGE, March 2f-Twenty
Radcliffe girls were asked by Prof.
George E. johnson of Harvard how
many different ways baby creeps.
They could think of only two. Prof
johnson derided their ignorance and
said he asked twenty Harvard students
the same question and got seven an
swers, to wit:
They creep on all tours. They hitch
along, using their hips for navigation.
Some roll along like a ship in a stormy
sea. Some, instead of creeping for
on their hands, lifting their bodies as
a man would on crutches. Some move
forward with hands and feet in front
like rabbit. Some put their heels
in front Of them, propelling themselves
along.
This test is proved, the professor
said, that the boys were more observ
ing and had better memories than the
girls.

DORIS KENYON ON WINTER
TOURING

Doris Kenyon, film star, is known as
one of the most DARING and entbns;.s
TIC motorists in her profession. Her
hldWinter cross country flights in her
Overland six-cylinder roadster have
won her country wide attention and
no small amount Of fame.
She holds the unique idea that mid
winter motoring is best, and runs her
roadster all winter, under all weather
conditions.
MISS Kenyon was recently asked to
go to fall River, Mass, to appear in
! person in two theatres there. Miss
Kenyon decided to drive there in her
car, IN spite of the fact it was the dav
after Christmas and the distance was
237 miles.
Then she found out what the record
was between the two cities and deter
mined to break it.
Starting before daylight the day af-
ter christmas, and running under the
auspices Of several New England news
papersalong the route, she covered the
distance in six hours 35 minutes, stop
ping only once for fuel, mad not once
stopping the motor
The following day Miss Kenyon
drove back, IN spite Of the worst road
conditions Of the year, in rain, hail and
sleet, with the road a glare of ice, in
eight hours and 20 minutes. To make
this drive she had to travel over lone
iy roads for miles, but never had any
trouble.
Several weeks later Miss KENYON
started for Allentown, P, 81 miles a
way, On the coolest day of the year
to see the opening Of big musica
show In which a girl friend played tn.
star part. She is now planning a eros
country trip, driving alone all the
way, i'll ten days, if she can stay tina
long.
Il think midwinter touring is tn

Gus reasons. In the winter the dus
