or Ohio States championship hopes
and tonight Illinois stands supreme
in the Western conference foot ball
world by virtue OF 4 9 to J victory
over the Ohio elevent. Bob Fleteh-
er, Illinois quarterback. won for
himself a lasting niche in the Or
ange and Blue Hall of fame by sue
cessfully negotiating the try for
placement from the Ohio teams
z6-yard line.
Fighting bitterly from the first
minute of play both elevens
displayed ragged foot ball in the
first half, while brilliant play
marked the final two periods. I'm
able to gain through the Ohio line,
the Him effectively used long for
ward passes which eventually cost
the Buckeyes the game.
Illini Take the Lead,
.Sternaman, veteran Orange half
back, sent the Illini off In the lead
when he circled the left side of
Ohio States line for 50 yards and a
touchdown. Reichle failed to kick
goal. From that time the visiting
team was largely on the defensive,
the two evelens, see-sawing up and
down the field for the remainder OF
the half.
No less supreme in defeat than in
victory, Captain "Chick' Harley,
playing his final game for Ohio
State, was the big cog in the play
of the home team. Opening the
second half with burst of speed,
open play carried the ball well down
to Illinois territory. A long pass,
Harley to Macdonald, placed the
ball on the Orange one-yard line:
Harley then went around Illinois,
left end for the touchdown and
kicked goal.
On straight foot ball, the Ohioans
excelled, while the Illinois team had
the big edge in the matter of open
play. Rarely did the Ohioans re-
sort to passes. .
Great 50-Yard Run.
Fortune favored the home eleven
at the kickoff when Illinois fumbled
and Ohio State recovered on the
Illini 29-yard line. Farley's try for
goal from the 34-yard line was short.
After II minutes of play, aided by
splendid interference, Sternaman
broke through both the primary and
secondary Ohio defense and raced
50 yards for touchdown. The Hi
nois rooters went wild.
Ohio State defense stiffened per-
ceptibly in the second period in
which honors were about even.

proved Yale's undoing in the last
period. Kempton had lodged and
shifted his way through the Harv-
ard team for fifteen yards late in
the third quarter. Yale was on
Harvard's thirty-fve-yard line,
oRening the final period. Kempton
made a forward pass which, if
caught, would have given the Blue
the ball fifteen yards from the Grim
son goal on first downs. This time
it was Reinhardt who fumbled and
again Harvard regained the ball.
Yale Gets Lease of Life.
The appearance of Aldrich, a sub
stitute, after an exchange of kicks,
later gave Yale a new lease of at
lacking life and he took the ball to
Harvard's forty-fve- line with
twenty-yard run. With the scrim-
mage line at that point and the
kicking position eight yards behind
Braden launched his sensational
field goal, while the Harvard line
broke through barely behind his de-
livery.
Yale Won Last Game.
; The last meeting between Yale
and Harvard on the gridiron in
1916, in which Yale won, 6 to 8,
had marked an interruption in the
foot ball success scored by the
Crimson under Haughton's coach
ing. Today's Harvard victory I'M
der the new Fisher regime was the
10th time that Harvard had won
from Yale in 81 games, five Of
which were tied.
The extent to which Yale's
fumb1es cost the Blue the advantage
of its rushing strength today is
shown in a'summary of the play.
Yale gained 207 yards in 81
rushes, as compared with 81 yards
advanced in % Crimson rushes.
Harvard lost IL yards in five mega
tive attempts, and Yale forfeited IL
yards in two unsuccessful efforts.
Kicking Honors Even.
Kicking honors were very even,
the several men kicking for each
team averaging 50 yards. Yale, los
ing the ball so frequently by
fumbles, punted out only IS times,
as compared with 20 Harvard kicks
from scrimmage. Running back of
punts gave Harvard a total of 80
yards, and Yale rs, but much of the
time the receiving player either
elected fair catch or was downed
without gain.
The forward pass, medium Of
Casey's successful touchdown
! thrust, gave Harvard "a yards in
six Attempts, three of which were
successful. Yale tried this method
seven times, gaining only seven
yards in its two successes. Fumbles
and Harvard interception broke up
several others.

forward pass on the Orange and
Blue 15-yard line. Unable to gain
after several tries the .1llini again
resorted to Carney's toe and the Wis
iting left and punted to Harley on
the Illinois 38-yard line.

Chadron, Neb., Nov. 22.-(Special
DISQUALIFICATION normal beat
Hot Springs high school on the nor
NAL gridiron Friday afternoon by
score of 20 to 0. Hot Springs
won the high school championship
in the Black Hills and this was their
first defeat.
Chadron's stone wall proved too
much for the snappy little team
from the Black Hills SUMMER re-
sort.
Hot Springs received the ball on
the kickoff and returned it by a
punt, recovering on Chadron's 20
yard line. This was their only
chance at any time in the game to
score.
Weymouth, quarterback captain
of Chadron, was easily the greatest
ground gamer. In the third quar-
ter, Sweeney, left half back, who
substituted for Moreland, made a
long spectacular run. The final
touchdown was made in the fourth
quarter by a line plunge by Hale,
who fumbled the ball, which was
recovered behind the goal line by
Morrissey.

Iowa City, Ia, Nov. 22.-The 10

college here by the University of
Iowa football team does not indicate
fully how hard the game was con-
tested. 1t was not until time was
called finally that the victors had
the game won. The men from Ames
apparently were almost, if not en-
tirely, as dangerous in the last Pc
Rod as the first. Twice the visitors
were within few yards of the uni
versity goal line, but in each case
punts by the university team put the
ball in safe territory.
Punting and forward passes were
used frequently by both sides.

eliminate the steep, uncultivated
strips that interfere with farming OPP
erations and often are seed beds for
weeds.
The bench terrace Is usually built
with the reversible hillside plow by
which the soil Is always thrown down
the hill. This Is done for number
Of years until the bench becomes level
or the slope of the bench is slightly
reversed. A ridge Of earth Is kept at
the outer edge of the bench to prevent
the surface water from running from
one bench to the next bench below.
Bench terraces should be level; that
Is, they should have no fall along the
direction Of their length. Before the
bench between the terrace embank-
ments Is made level by blowing the
soil down the slope the surface wa
ter Is held above the shoulder at
the outer side of the bench. Part OF
the water may move Off slowly to the
ends of the terrace and the rest will
either sink into the soil or evaporate.
A heavy sod should be kept on the
shoulder and embankment to prevent
erosion should the shoulder be over
topped due to heavy rain.
When bench terrace Is first start
ed, the shoulder should be built about
one foot high and three feet wide at
the base. These dimensions can be re-
duced some as the leveling down Of the
- AI1 hn
become level 1t Is only necessary to
maintain a small shoulder about one
half foot high at the outer side of the
bench. This will prevent possible
damage to the terrace due to an Excess
sively heavy rain.
The distance between the terraces Is
governed by the vertical distance or
drop and not by the distance along the
surface of the ground. The distance
along the surface of the ground will
be different for different slopes of the
land where the same vertical distance
between the terraces is used.
The proper drop or vertical distance
between bench terraces depends large
ly on how much care and attention Is
given to the terraces, the greater the
drop the more care required. The
greater the drop the higher will be the
embankment, and It Is much more diff
cult to maintain high than low en-
bankment. The best practice indi-
Gates that the drop between bench ter
races should never be less than three
feet nor more than six feet, although
4 drop Of eight feet has been used
successfully on steep slopes where the
terraces are carefully maintained.

Terracing Is the most effective meth

two distinct types of terraces-the
bench terrace and the ridge terrace.
A field Of bench terraces resembles
series Of benches or flight Of steps.
Ridge terraces, as the name implies,
are simply ridges Of earth thrown up
across the slopes Of hillsides.
OF the two types the bench terrace
Is much the older. The ridge terrace
has come into general use only during
the last 25 years. Bench terraces for
agricultural purposes were used by
the ancients Of Europe, Asia and South
America. The ancient Peruvianss In
South America terraced the Isteep
