EAST LANSING, Mich, Dec. IA
Co-eds of the Michigan Agricultural
college watched their gridiron ac-
quaintances play football and get wal

found it necessary to do something
real thrilling.
When the Aggies lost the first
games to state college teams which
they used to sneeze at, the young

When the season progressed and
Brewers men continued their remark
ably unique record of no victories and
consistent defeats, the goods decided
that somebody had to stir these gen

For moro than a week before the
Syracuse game, the girls went into
secret session each day. Then came
Syracuse-and the surprise.
Between halves, two score Of co-eds,
led by officers Of the cadet regiment

That the spectacle nerved the Aggie

eleven went out on the frozen gridiron
and, although outweighed Is pounds

You Rattle When
Thorpe Hits You, y
Remarks a Victim,

DETROIT, Mich, Dec. 14.-Jim
Thorpe, the great Indian athlete, who
again donned semi-professional foot
ball toys this season, won a rather
vivid compliment from an opponent In
a game played by Thorpe's Canton, o.
eleven, here recently with the Her
aids, the local champions.
Thorpe did not play in the first half
during which neither team scored. The
red whirlwind went on the gridiron In
the third period and then the trouble
commenced
On a line shift, Thorpe took the
ball and
LINGO! He circled the end so fast
his ankles got hot.
First down." sang the referee.
A few moments later punt for
nation was called. Thorpe dropped
back, but he didn't kick.
BLAM! The Carlisle star went
through the massed line like brick
through a window
First down"
Again and again Thorpe carried the
ball until it was within a few feet of
the Herald's goal. Then forward
pass put over the winning touchdown.
AS the Indian trotted on the grid
iron after the score, one of the Her
AIDS crack linesmen who was near the
side lines gazed at him with awe.
Turning to a newspaperman he said,
explosively:
81 never used to believe the stuff
they told be about that guy, but all
I've got to say, is this: when he hits
you, why, you-you rattle!"

Jack Hendricks is putting over
brand new sort Of comeback. 1t
now appears that he is yet to be
the Cardinal manager next season.
When Branch Hickey signed Hen
bricks some weeks ago he found
that Jack had contract with Ind

run. Now it seems that an agree
ment may be reached between the
indianapolis and st. Louis man
agements and that Jack will" get
the big league job he yearned for,
after all.

SOURCE OF REVENUE TROUBLE.

TOW much easier the revenue problem Of the admin
istraton would be today if the party in power had
not repealed the Republican protective tariff law
The trouble that the Wilson administration assumed
that had mandate from the people to repeal the proec.
and Progressive parties stood for protection and they poll
ed large majority of the votes Of the country 1t true
that the Progressyes advocated lowering of the rates
but they stood for protective rates nevertheless If the
Democratic party had read the returns correctly, and
had acted accordingly, we would have had no grea,
depression in l9I3-l4 and our national income would
have been sufficient to take care of all the necessary ex
penses of the government.
Instead of pursuing that policy the Democrats cut he
and entered upon reign Of wastefuness and e
travaganee unprecedented in our history That why
the problem vexes not only the administration
but the people who must pay the increased taxes.
