WILLIAMS TOPROBE
LIQUOR BOND RAISE
Revenue Commissioner to Aid
Druggists to Fight 400
Per Cent Increase.

Commissioner OF Internal Revenue
Williams has ordered an Investigation
OF the causes for an increase OF foo
per cent in the price OF druggists
bonds covering the handling OF aleo-
holio spirits under the Prohibition
Enforcement act.
1t is indicated that the lnternai
Revenue Department is Interested
only in the cause for the increase IN
price and to assist the druggists IN
obt aiming relief from the pona
burdens.
Early in this year. according to
druggists, they were Informed py
their representatives that after a CON
ference with representative OF the
Prohibition Commissioner II was pc
lieved that the bonds given tor the
use OF alcoholic spirits under the war
time prohibition act would sunice.
Most OF the druggists had obtained
these bonds. They had paid *Z'oo TOT
every $1,000 bond. The bond covered
an extremely wide range or prohibi-
ton, so wide, in fact, that there was
little doubt that II would cover the
Volstead Prohibition Enforcement act
Under these conditions, the drug
gists rested easy until suddenly on
June IS, in some States, notices were
received that new bonds would nave
to be obtained. 1t was stated the
new bond would be on revised
permit form.
The druggists when they went 10
investigate further about these new
forms and the bonds. learned that the
bonding companies with one excep-
tion had increased the price from
$3.50 to SO. 1t was said that the
state supervisors OF prohibition had
been ordered by the Prohibition Com
mission In Washington to demand the
new bonds.
The question which now has arisen
is:
Why were new bonds ordered on
June IS and how did 1t happen that
the price for these new bonds was
increased by the bonding companies
in the same proportion and at the
same time?
Druggists who tried to get new
bonds at first believed that the hand
ling of alcoholic spirits had become
such a risk that the increase in price
was justified. They investigated
and say they found out this was NOT
the cause. They then demanded OF
the bonding companies why the IN
crease was ordered. The bonding
companies replied that the new forr
of permit required what was known
as a forfeiture bond" 1t was ex
planned under the new permit that II
a bond Of $1,000 was given and the
druggist could not account for 500
worth of alcoholic spirits the Govern
ment would take the entire bond OF
81 900 instead of the 500.

four weeks. the Penn State squad
will be tuned to it's highest pitch
this week. The temporary relaxa-

Great interest Is being taken in
the Nebraska-Rutgers game tomor-
row, for il will enable Penn State
coachers. players and students to get

who will play here next Saturday.
The Cornhuskers come TO State Col
lego as the leading attraction for
Pennsylvania Day. and a crowd rival
ing that which witnessed the Dart
mouth battle is expected to again
tax the new stands to their fullest
capacity.
The Penn State eleven should be
in better shape for the Nebraska
game than it was for Saturdays

quarterback. should be fully recov-
cred from his injury by the end Of
next week. His absence is severely
felt, for in addition to being a fine
all-round player. he inspires conf
dence in the rest of the team and IL
invaluable for that reason.
Redinger has been doing good work
while killie was on the sidelines, but
he lacks the necessary experience,
while Buck Williams has been in
poor condition this year and has
been unable to show the kind Of
game that he really can play. IL he
can find himself during the week. he
will greatly strengthen Bezdek's sup
ply of reserve material. for williams
has had enough experience to make
him a valuable man.

WOULDMEETC
At BASEBALL PARK
by BRYAN MORSE.

Three big high school football battles
are scheduled this month and already
the followers of the teams to get
action are beginning their protracted
arguments about the contests. On
November 10 Western plays Tech
November II finds Western playing
Central On November "a Tech and
Central clash.
When the Central-Ts6h date was
arranged last year Tech reserved the
right TO select the place for playing
the annual clash. Central agreed to
the stipulation.
Both Western and Tech have been
meeting Central on it's home field,
the big stadium for the past three
years. The schools are sticking to-
gether in wanting to meet the Central
warriors elsewhere this season.
Western believes it has a good
chance to trim Central. Tech also
thinks its team good enough to break
the Central winning streak. FoS this
reason both schools are sticking out
for a meeting with Central on some
field other than the Central stadium.
Western and Tech followers be-
lieve they get the worst of the breaks
in the big stadium. They claim ii is
Central's home field and that Central
might well play them there every
other year.
1t has been suggested that the an
nual schoolboy clashes take place in
the American League park this year.
Tech reserved the right to choose the
grounds and is thought to have the
big baseball park in mind for the an
nual engagement this season.
The matter will be decided shortly
it is reported. The Tech-Central en-
gagemcnt is expected to be the
largest battle ever staged between
the schools. Hundreds of followers
of both teams are expecting to focl;
to the contest which will be played
the day before Thanksgiving.

The fact that Central has three or
four lads around the 1s0-pound mark
brings up the team average consider
ably. Techs lads weigh pretty con-
sistently around $50 pounds. while
Westerns youngsters with but one
or two exceptions hit around the
l40-pound mark.
Dufry. King, Banville. Lamberton
and Krupp. of Central. are husky
lads. Berger. Heine. Pugh and Sup
plee. of Tech. are tall, rangy and
bring up the team average.
Conard. Hartman. Burke and
Dawson are the only Westerners
weighing more than $50 pounds.
The remaining lads on the team are
Weighing in at 40 pounds and less
There are several Westerners who
stand on the scales at 100 pounds.
The fact that Central has the
pounds on the other two schools is
going to stand the Mt. Pleasant lads
in good stead in the coming engage
ments. Under ordinary circumstances
the edge in weight means something.
One Tech eight pounds will mean
little. On Western the advantage in
weight will be considerable.
The Western lads look larger than
they really are. Last season the
team was reputed to weigh 1855
pounds, while as n matter OF fact the
team weight was 141 pounds. Tech
maroon jerseys make them appear
larger in bulk than they really are.
The blue Jerseys OF Central make the
Mt Pleasant lads look smaller, de-
spite their large pads.
Western and Tech play on Novem-
Der 10. Tech meets Western on NO.
vember II and Central plays Tech on
November %. These three dates will
be the really big ones for high
school football enthusiasts this sea-
son, as Business and Eastern are not
calculted to be in the running.

REX FINDS PHILADELPHIA
ELEVEN EASY TO DEFEAT

Rex Athletic Club players found
the Philadelphia Navy Yard eleven
easy picking at Union Park yester-
day, winning by Sc to 0. The visitors
gave battle for a few minutes and
then succumbed to the rushing play
OF the Rex team.
"Red" Litkus. usually dependable
in kicking. distinguished himself in
missing six out OF seven goals after
touchdowns had been scored. Giebel,
Carney, Dawson. Carroll and Byers
played consistently well for the win
ners.
The Northeast clubmen. despite the
lack of opposition. showed improved
form over their performance OF 2
week ago. Interference was cons's-
tently good, the backfield players
carrying out the ends on almost
every play. allowing the runners n
chance for long gains.

BUSINESS HIGH ELEVEN

Business only hope tomorrow
against Central in the Mt. Pleasant
stadium is to hold the Central lads
to small score. The Business lads
also hope to repeat their feat of a
year ago when "Swede" Peterson
grabbed the ball and ran seventy
yards for n touchdown.
Business scored on Central lasi
season although the team was badly
beaten. The count was made by
Peterson who is in the lineup to-
morrow. The Mt. Pleasant lads have
