Independents Lineup.
The Independents will use Smith
and Marshall at ends, Buland and
Shaw at tackles, Fitzgerald and
Lyle at guards. and Gunderson at
center. Therein are changes in the
personnel Of former games. Fitz-
gerald, a natural guard, has been
playing center only in an emer-
gency capacity. His regular posi-
ton is at guard. where he can rove
at will and follow the ball as he
alone can. Duey Lyle plays equal
ly as well at guard of tackle. The
return Of Walt Buland to right
tackle sends Lyle back to guard.
Fitzgerald was shifted to make
room for Harry Gunderson, the
Terrible Swede," who is spelling
for a decisive clash with the elite
Des Jardien for the all-professional
center call. These men should
stage one Of the bitterest individual
struggles ever knoyn in profess
sional football. 1t should prove in
teresting to watch them as they
match their brains and Drawn.
which both have in abundance.
Many are inclined to favor "Gundy"
IN the end, but he'll know he has
had a battle, II he succeeds in van

JENNINGS SIGNS
AS M'GRAW AIDE
FOR n. Y. GIANTS

New York, Oct. 30.-Hugh Jsn-
nings signed yesterday as assistant
manager Of the New York Nation
ais, according to announcement
last night by Vice President and
Manager John J. McGraw. No de-
tails As to the terms Of the con-
tract were given out.
The fact that Christy Mathewson
has been lost to the Giants by ILL
ness, and Johnny Evers, through
his appointment as manager Of the
Chicago Nationals, led McGraw to
dicker with his old Baltimore team
mate. Jennings recently received
managerial offers from two Nation
al league clubs.
It is understood Jennings may
become the active field general OF
the Giants, as McGraw has been
retiring more and more into the
background, being absent from the
coaching lines much Of the recent
season.
MAY SUCCEED NGRAw.

ress).-Hughey Jennings, as fu-
ture manager Of the Giants, was

made vacant by the release Of

10, THE POOR INDIAN!

In days Of dreams
Big football teams
Would almost loop the loop
Or run . mile
When old Carlisle
Would shout . warlike wh0Op
The Injuns then
Were mighty men
OF speed and Drawn and heel,
And, far and wide,
The other side,
Would tremble like q leaf.
Old Bemis Pierce
Was fast and fierce;
Mount Pleasant was . flash.
When Mike Calac
Would hit the pack
There was an awful crash.
Exendine's speed :-..
Was like q steed;

And Harvard keeled
When, down the field.

Jim Thorpe was slick
With that old kick
From almost every angle.
His learned toe
Was sure to blow

Could beat the Injuns now.

 Probably Katherine Miller wouldn't be upset about Don Manuers death for any length of time
 When she recovers from the flare, it will be a good plan to keep her and Bob apart" I admonished myself and then I felt awfully ashamed because I knew that I ought to trust my husband even if I did not trust the girl.
 Katherine had centainly achieved a triumph in the secret service. Perhaps her success accounted for my petty and persistent jealousy. She had done more than Daddy and Gene Archer to- gether. The information which they had collected had been forwarded to Bob and he had transferred it to the proper authorities at once We didn't want the papers around the house. We wanted to close that dreadful Honolulu episode forever.
 A letter from Daddy Lorimer put a little humor into the situation.
 Now that I've been snatched to the heart of a big political intrigue, I'm fascinated Daddy wrote. I'm almost sorry that I can't go along with Ger teis. You bet I would if could speak a few foreign languages. Nothing like education. But maybe the lack of it is saving my life. I guess it would be a lot easier for me to get into the political plot than to get out. I didn't give up the idea of going with Certeis until the Russians were killed. Then my courage oozed away. Now I just want to get back to the comforts of home and the companionship of my wife.
 I've been reading a lot in the papers about retrenchment and I've an idea that the best kind of reyrenchment for me is to draw my home ties closer and let the old world wag as it will"
 Thought I, That's mighty good ad- vice for Bob and me to follow"
