WHAT IS UNlx AID?

Every since the discovery of Scheels
in IT'S that uric acid was found within
the body-inost eminent physicians
agree that rheumatism is caused by it;
also many distressing symptoms as
headache, pain in back, stomach dis
tfess, swollen feet and ankles, govt, etc.
Neglected kidney trouble is responsible.
It was DIR. Pierce of the Invalids'
Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y, who discovered
a new agent called Anuric, a harmless
remedy-that if taken before meals Will
carry off the uric acid from the system
and in this way the pains and aches, the
creally joints and all the distressing
symptoms of rheumatism and other
maladies disappear. You can easily
prove this yourself by obtaining An
uric at almost any drug store, or send
DR.. Pierce 1Oc for trial pkg. Try it
and be convinced Anuric is many times
more active than lithia and eliminates
uric acid as hot water melts sugar.

EWING TO PLAY
AMBULANCE TEAM
Philadelphia Eleven to Line
Up Against Service Foot
ballers on Saturday
ON MUHLENBERG'S FIELD

ALLENTOWN, Pa, Oct 81. - The
United States army ambulance eleven has
begun work at Muhlenberg Field in prep
aration for the game which is tocbe played
with the Ewing Athletic Association team,
Of Philadelphia, on the local grounds Sat-
urday. In spite of the hard battle of last
Saturday, when the boys of the Ambulance
squad overwhelmed the Philadelphia Ma
rne corps, go, every man of the squad
is in fine shape and for the first time this
season this weeks game will find every
man available for action.
Schuele. the clever all-Ohio State quar-
terbaclI last year, was put in at the posi-
ton of quarter by Coach Clarke and found
to be exceptionally satisfactory. This new
man on the strategic board makes a power
full trio with Mike" Murphy and Jack
Dunn, of Michigan. Farrell whose work at
tackle in the battle with the Marines, wa
one of. the sensations of the game, is being
tried out as n drop kicker. He is showing
considerable promise.
Announcement was made today that the
schedule of the Ambulance team has been
completed.
It stands at present as follows:
November 3, Ewing A. c., at Allentown; No
yember 10, United States Marine Corps at
Artillery, at Allentown November "a, Camp
Meade. at Allentown. Thanksgiving Day

COACH j. W. Heisman, of Georgia Tech.
~ left Pennsylvania University seventeen
years ago.
After an interval of seventeen years he
leads a lusty young arrival against his old
university and finishes out in 'front.' Al to 0.
Heisman stands as the prophet of the
open game. The forward pass came In
around 1906. Heisman was advocating this
addition to the offense before 1900.
Years before 1906 he had used lateral
and other passes in profusion. The Tech
coach has always been a great believer in
the open game as against mass play. lie
has developed a greater variety or OPEN
field work than any football instructor III
the realm, North, East, South or West.
Many of these formations have failed TO
hold up against charging defense. But
many of them have proved bewildering ana
bafflng.
Winning football elevens are nothing new
in Heismans life. He had great machines
at Auburn back around 1898 and 1893; the
same at Clemson, around 1901 and l9O2'
before Georgia Tech secured his services
more than twelve years ago.
The Leading Backfield
In Strupper, Guyon and Hill, Georgia
Tech has the best bsckheld in America,
not even barring the veterans Of Pittsburgh
and Colgate. McLaren, or Pitt, is the lead
ing plunger of the year But not even the
Pitt wonder has the all-around value Of
Strupper and Guyon. Guyon, at Carlisle
was only a shade below Thorpe, While
Strupper for open field work is on par
with Ned Mahan
The two together complete the greatest
attacking force in 1917 football.
Without Championships
It has been maintained that no football
season could be run off successfully
without a championship inspiration.
Tennis and golf have just closed out two
busy campaigns, in which any NUMBER OF
interesting hand-to-hand conflicts were ar
ranged, and in which several hundred thou
sands Of dollars was collected for Red
Cross and other navy work. Yet there
was no suggestion of any national cham
pionshp play in either branch of sport.
The Age Record
John Lawrence Sullivan was a champion
at twenty-six.
James ]. Corbett was champion at twen-
ty-six
James J. Jeffries reached the top at
twenty-four.
Jack johnson and Jess Willard were
rated as slow starters, since each was
around twenty-nine as he came over the
top.
The marvel was Fitzsimmons Fitz was
thirty-f1ve when he dropped Corbett at Car
son City. He was thirty-eight when he fell
before Jeffries. Fitz had to spot Jeffries
fourteen years and fifty pounds. Robert
