 GREAT KICKER SAYS BRICKLEY

Boston, Oct. 1.-Charlie Brickley, conceded to be the greatest drop. kicker n football history paid tribute in New Haven after the Yale game Saturday to his former Boston Col lege protegt. Captain Jim Fitzpatrick, when he relinquished his own claim t. the kicking throne and installed Fitzpatrick.
 ''Three years ago." said surefoot Charlie, Kirkpatrick came to me from Mertden High School. At that time I predicted that <he would de- xeloD into the greatest kicker football eve- saw. Today he has fulfilled my prophecy. No man in the history of the game ever kicked as consistently as Fitzpatrick has done. In this Yale game he even surpassed his own won derful record. He punted consistently for 60 and 70 yards, and his nliracu- lous 47-yard dropIzick will stand among the greatest feats of history"
 Fitzpatrick may well be proud of such a tribute. No greater cOmpH- ruent could be shOwered on him from any man than this one from the games greatest kicker and his own instructor. Brtckley sat by Coach Cavanaugh's side in the Yale Bowl Saturday and watched the progress of the contest. Brickley seemed to have more confidence in the B. c. team than any of the Maroon and Gold. teams followers. For the past two weeks he has predicted a Boston Col lege victory.

 OFFICE WORK IS
 NOW CAUGHT UP
Over Twenty Thousand Alp plicants Placed In New
 York Alone

With the peak of the load of sol- dier unemployment now passed, the office of the assistant to the Secre- tary of War has been able to catch up on the work started by Colonel Arthur Woods last March and now being continued under Major General William G. Haan. Interesting figures Of soldier employment throughout the entire United States are now avail able.
 In New York City 33,367 men reg istered for employment. Of these 2O,128 were put in positions. The bureau, 505 Pearl Street, now has between 5000 and 1000 cards of men seeking employment An average of 200 men register every day, and about 500 q week find jobs. The banner week was the one ending September 8th, when 7,419 positions were op file fer soldiers and sailors.
 New York city reports need Of men to fill positions as carpenters, painters, laborers, machnists, tool and die makers; printers and press men; conductors and motormen; watchmen, porters, leather and rub Der workers; clay, glass and stone; furniture and woodworking trades, and others along similar lines. This city reports shortage of jobs for all sorts of clerical positions and tech nical men; chauffeurs, teansters, garment workers, and apprentices in several trades.
 Chicago has placed 90 per cent. of all the soldier applicants through its bureau for a period of 24 weeks There have been 33,843 applications. and 30,507 placed in Jobs. Altogether 61,191 opportunities have been offer ed to returned soldiers and sailors. In a sample week, ending Oct 4, there were sos new applicants for work; help wanted totaIled ISIS positions; men actually placed and working, l. 296. The employment situation in Chicago for soldiers would be consid- cred highly satisfactory, except for strikes and labor disputes which cause former soldiers to look for po- siions after once having been plac- ed by the bureau
 St Louis reports to date 2S,438 reg istered; 28,002 positions offered; and ZS,437 soldiers placed in employment An average week is 1,400 registering and 1900 placed, which is considered 2 good showing. St. Louis reports that it's bureau can place every sol cier who registers for work, with the exception of clerks, salesman and chauffeurs.
 Los Angeles placed It's ten-thou- sandth returned soldier on August 18th last. He was Lieut.. Clifford By, agricultural expert, who went into the employ of Mrs Anita M. Baldwin, owner of the famous Lucky" Baldwin stock ranch at Santa Anita. The last figures showed more than 12,0o0 returned soldiers and sailors put at work in the Los Angeles Bureau alone. The work cost 16 cents for each job found for a soldier.
 Following are some of the weekly figures for various cities in the United States, these figures showing the number of soldiers applying for work for the last week reported, and the number for whom jobs were found:

Remember that wrinkles and bag glness of cheek or chin are due to the muscular tissue losing it's strength and shrinking The skin is then too large in area to fit such tis- sue smoothly. It wrinkles or sags.

HARvARD LOSES RALPH HORUE:EE:nIlI N
 FOR THE YEAR

Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 21-All the Harvard football players who took part in the Brown game, with the ex- ception of Casey and Horween, were on the field early yesterday for signal drill, but Murray was the only one who took part in the scrimmagtng. Murray, after running the varsity through it's plays, worked all through the set to between the subs and the second team.
 The Harvard leader showed lack of practice and will not spare him up included Philbin at centre. It was the first playing Philbin, who was regular snapback until two weeks ago, has done.
 Desmond also was in the scrin- mage and so was Hubbard, who was regular left tackle until he dropped temporarily out of the play a fort night ago. The subs who did not play Saturday did not do any execution against the seconds, who were full of fight and who outrushed the varsity squad men.
 The scrubs twice carried to the var sity's yard line but this was as far as they could go. Ralph Horween was on the field in street clothes. He has a clipped shoulder and Fisher Is not banking on him any more.
 Casey's ankle is pretty bad and he did not appear at all, but will be all right for the Princeton game. A Horween, Humphrey and Church comprised the regular backfield in the signal drill. Church is almost as clever an open field man as Casey and besides can punt and make for ward passes.
 Gratwick and Burnham, both of whom are ratsd high as backs, were taking exercise and possibly can play this week. Charles Brickley appear ed to coach the dropkickers, Murray and Humphrey, and will be here sev- eTal days.

FO3WAnD PASS
 BIG FACTOR IN WINNING GAMES

New Haven. Oct. z1.-Eastern coaches who have been neglecting that much discussed and often rather carefully avoided play, the forward pass, find much to consider thoughtfully in Sat urdays games.
 In the majority of the contests the forward pass was one of the most vi tai factors in gaining victory or stav- ing off defeat.
 A 2O-yard forward pass by F1tz- patrick to Urban started the rush of Boston college which placed the Bos- ton left halfback in a position, to drop the ball over the goal for the three points which defeated Yale in the big gest upset of the year.
 Clark's forward pass to Stout gave the Army it's touchdown over Maine, and it proved to be the only score of the game
 Princeton used the forward pass extensively in its crushing victory over Rochester university, and it was a forward pass by the defeated team which gave it its only opportunity to score.
 Colgate smothered Cornell with for ward passes. At leatst ten of it's at tempts were successful, the aerial play netting Bankart's squad many yards. CoIgate's first touchdown was made on pass and it's third was scored by the same method. The other touch down was the result of a long run back of punt.
 A long pass by Capt. Boynton of the Williams team netted 30 yards and a touchdown for the victors in the Columbia game. Capt. Canapary $ pass to Weinstein gave Columbia Its only chance to score. although the play was nu1Iified by a decision that Canapary had not been standing five yards behind the line when making the pass

REPRESENTING BESSIE

Someone has been in1persona ting Bessie Love. Through a letter re- gently received by her Miss Love learned that a young man in Califor- mia was delighted with the afternoon he spent with her and would be hap py if another tyrst could be arranged. As Miss Love happens to have never been in the town mentioned and her memory is a complete blank con- corning any such meeting, the only inference left is that some girl has imposed on the young man. It was a. mean trick.

from yesterday. The northwest gale
will diminish this evening.
The wind blew harder than it has
for many months. Not long after the
ouickening breezes reached HarrisG
burg the rain clouds were torn away
and huge riffs appeared across the
rainy sky. The temperature dropped
with almost record breaking celerity,
and before morning a gale was blow
ing from the northwest. Windows
ratified. shutters banged, flags were
torn from their staffs and the river
was kicked up into choppy sea.
The high waves tossed up in the
river caused the thirty-foot launch
achored just north of the Harris
burg side of the Market street bridge
to fill with water and founder along
the side of the concrete promenade.
The boat was buffeted about all day
by the waves and damaged consid-
erably.
The storm is now passing seaward
off the New England coast. 1t is at
tended by fresh to moderate gales
along the Atlantic coast from Hat
teras northward over the eastern
portion of the Great Lakes. The
highest velocity reported at o'clock
was forty-four miles an hour from
the northwest of New York City.
Rain hats fallen generally from
the lake region eastward to the At
lantic ocean and south and east of
the Ohio river, while in the st. Law
renee Valley snow was falling this
morning. The wind is diminishing,
while the temperature still is falling.

SCHUJYLKILL COAL
LAND FAR BELOW
ITS REAL VALUE
Mine Expert Throws Bomb
Into the Midst of Sen
atorial Probe
By Associated Press


Pottsvilie, Pa, Jan. 24.-T. Ellis
worth Davies, of Scranton. the coal
mine expert who has so materially
increased the valuation of coal lands
in Luzerne and Lackawanna counties
for taxation purposes, threw a bomb
into the midst of the Schuylkill coun-
ty coal land owners when he testi-
fed before the committee that the
coal lands of Schuylkill county. If
assessed on the same rate of valua-
tion as in Lackawanna and Luzerne
counties, would have a total valua-
tion of $4,000, 100000
He estimated that there are about
$4,000, 10000 tons of unmined coal in
the Schuylkill fields.
The Senators were astounded when
told that the present valuation is but
S25.000,0e0 for taxation purposes, al
though Lackawanna, with only 400,-
100000 tons. has its coal lands as
sessed at $4,000. 900. and they are to
be increased to 500, 100000.
The basis upon which he figured
has been tested and proved in county
and State Supreme courts. he added.
ing, he estimated for the Senators
that the coal in Schuylkill county
would not be exhausted for 900 years.
The taxation per ton of coal at the
rate he proposed and which is in
force in the two counties of the
northern coal field amounted to
about one six-hundredth of the profits
now made on a ton of coal.
