Legality OF Second Penn
Touchdown Is Questioned

DEM evened the count with Swarth-
l. more on Saturday, winning the
second match of the hoodooed 1918 sea-
son from the rival Quakers by score
of 13 to T. In the first clash between
these two elevens, staged three weeks
ago. the Garnet was victorious by 20
to IL.
The Red and Blue outplayed the visi-
tors on Saturday and deserved the
honors. q The Penn forwards got the
jump on their opponents. The Penn
teamwork was better, and both Rabbit
Smith and Rosenau showed better judg-
ment than did the Garnet field leader.
But despite this superiority the vsi-
tors would have won the game, in all
probability. If it had not been for the
queerest fluke seen on Franklin Field
in many long year. Many claimed it
was Illegal and that the touchdown
scored by Penn on the play should not

DUFF KILLED In ACTION
Former Tiger Star and Pitt
Coach War Victim

Pittsburgh, Pa, Nov. 25.-Lieutenant
Joseph Duff. former all-American foot
ball guard and a noted gridiron star of
many seasons, was killed in action in
France, October 10, according to word
just received here by relatives.
Lieutenant Duff was a graduate of
Shady Side Academy here, and in 1912
he graduated from Princeton, in the
same year being named an all-American
guard. He coached the Princeton varsity
,eam that fall and the University of
Pittsburgh elevensN of 1913 and 1914.
Lieutenant Duff went to France as a
private In a machine gun company and
got into action October /. He was pro-
NOTED to a corporal, then sergeant. and
later was graduated from the army can
didate school and given his commission.

a forward pass or punt-Out after
touchdown may be batted In any ,direc-
tion. without exception. The penalty is
the loss of the ball 20 the offended side
at the point where the Offense took
place."
Now, Locke batted the ball toward
the Swarthmore goal. Whether he did
1t accidentally or not makes no differ
ence under the rules So ut would seem
that the officials erred in allowing the
Penn touchdown
L. o. Kirberger, of Washington and
Jefferson was the referee and 1T was up
to him to decide the point. He ruled
that Locke had struck the ball by acci-
dent while reaching for it and allowed
the touchdown to stand.
But as Swarthmore did not put up a
kick and appeal from the decision or
ask that a rulebook be produced the
ruling goes as made. If the Garnet had
appealed it is possible that Kirberger
would have reversed himself after a
glance at the book.
Hopper Penn Star
Hopper was PENIS star defensively

Crawford, the center. put up a brilliant
game. Rabbit Smith was an inspiration

game.

THAT FOOD PROBLEM.

The nations surplus of potatoes is now estimated at m ore tn a n 00,000,00 bushels. The canners of the country have been advised by the United States food ad- ministration to hold for war purposes such quantities of canned corn, peas, tomatoes, string beans and salmon as they may have on hand
 The result of tieing up the produce of the canneries of the nation can result in one thing only-an advance in the price of these goods on the wholesale and retail market. The surplus of potatoes will not last. They will spoil with time. Their presence on the market has effected the price but slightly
 For efficiency, why doesn't the govern ment buy the potatoes and evaporate them? They would largely take the place of canned goods now withheld from the mar ket The soldiers like potatoes as well as bread. Germany is living principally on evaporated potatoes, and they are excel lent food
 The food administration IS charged with the duty of helping to provide our army and navy and our associates in the war with these goods, says the announcement to the canners.
 But, evaporated potatoes are more nu- tritious, better food than canned peas, string beans and salmon, and their evapor- ation would be little trouble with no waste Prices in canned goods have advanced al- ready far enough. A little aleviation now would be welcomed by the entire nation.

Undigested food delayed in the stomach decays, or rather, ferments the same as food left in the open air. says noted authority. He also tells us that indigestion is caused by Fly per-acidity, meaning, there is an ex- cess of hydrochloric acid in the stom- ach which prevents complete digestion and starts food fermentation. Thus much like garbage sours in a can, forming acid fluids and gases. whicl, infiate the stomach like a toy balloon Then we feel a heavy, lumpy misery in the chest, we beleh up gas, we eruc- tate sour food or have heartburn. flat ulence, water-brash or nausea.

LOU JACOBS RETURNS
 WITH MUSICAL JAZZ

Lou Jacobs is back fin town and it seems somewhat like the old days for he has brought a show that went over at the Orpheum last night with a punch and a riot of jazz" that sent the patrons away saying all kinds of hICe things.
 The offering last night was For ward. March," it might just as well have been named The Goose Step Backwards" for when it comes to musical comedy there is nothing in a name. There is much though in the way Jacobs produced the show and the way his song birds put it over.
 You may be prejudiced against a large chorus girl but when they line up in such an array of beauty and put the pep into their work, you simply have to love them. Jacobs has the best looking chorus ever brought to Eisbee.
 The principles could easily get by in S1.5O or S2.OO attraction and the jazz" orchestra is a feature that sim ply brought the audience to their feet.
 There are some beautiful song num- bers in Forward March and the cos tunes are most dainty and fetching The bill will be repeated tonight and tomorrow night the bill will be chang ed to one of the late New York non sensical oddities, Watch Your Step"

FIGHT THE KAISER NOW!

Bisbee has Woodrow Wilson club and a Citizens Non-partisan league, both organ ized Tuesday night and each having iden- tical purpose-the highest possible manner of support of President Wilson and the na- tional government.
 Both organizations are. in effect, politi- cal, the non-partisan leagues purpose be- ing to put non-partisan ticket in the city primaries and election, and to elect 1t; the Woodrow Wilson club to further the principles of the democratic party in sup port of the present national administration. To get the effective results which it is the aim of each to obtain in support of the government, both should work together. The non-partisan leagues non partisan ticket in the city election should also be of the Woodrow Wilson club.
 During the war period we have no time for petty local political strife cf any kind The emergencies of the hour demand that as good, loyal citizens we get together and stay together in every community. This Is not possible if we let petty politics and ambitions slip in to take our attention from the main object-standing together as solid unit for the best effort in local govern ment, good government, that we can pro- duce in aid of the general government. Concerted action is what we need as a nation, and every little helps in this matter, just as every little helps in our Red Cross, war loan and other wartime e,,- deavors
 We have no time for, and should have no patience with, any other course than that of standing together tremendously. We can do all the politics we want to after the war; as we did before. But during the war, cut out such interference with local unani- mity Leave the fighting among our selves to another day, uniting now in fight ing the kaiser.
 Pick the best available men from both parties, as the non-partisan meeting of Tuesday night sought to do, and then sup port t h m unanimously, regardless of whether you like some of the individuals or not. Let the only point be whether they are men who deliver results Every man on the non-partisan ticket bears that stamp not one of them but is and always has been a result getter in the conduct of his affairsSin this camp.

CORRECTING CHILD DIET.

If the war does TO more for the United States than outline and introduce in the country a plan for the rearing of more healthy men and women, if it brings home to the people of this nation the lesson that children must have balanced rations as well as balanced sleep, balanced education and balanced play-it will have accomplished great end Investigation of men of the draft age has disclosed one of the chief causes for physical defects in mal-nutrition of the youths of the nation.
 Steps toward the correction of this evil have already been taken in many parts of the country. The studies of the United States public health service have shown that school children, more especially of the poorer communities suffer from lack of correct nutrition The noon-day meal is sometimes entirely eliminated Frequent ly 1t consists of the wrong character of food The result has been, says the health service, that early mal-nutrition has reflect ed itself in the grown man to marked de- gree.
 Now the health service is considering a national program of cooperation with state, county and municipal authorities for the purpose of safeguarding the health of chil- dren. Properly balanced school luncheons furnished at the schools at cost, or below cost. they have discovered will tend largely to promote health and development.
 The most recent introduction Of this plan
Bisbee daily review., 1918-03-08

The city health department of Don glas, announced yesterday that drug stores and refreshment stands in Douglas must fall in line and clean up. An inspection is to be made within a few days and regularly there after. and all places found disregard ing sanitary measures will be black listed by civil and military authori- ties. onsiderable complaint has been made, lately. it is said, that a numbec If hot and cold drink dispensaries are net in good sanitary condition.

Here, hot, nutritious meals are served the children for one cent and richest and poorest are served alike for the single maximum and minimum charge. With short trial, the plan has proved itself strikingly effective and happier, healthier. more satisfied chil- dren have resulted.
