AS THE EDITOR
SEES IT

Ten cents worth of oil will often
prevent ten dollars worth of rust. Yet
many excellent people fail to give
this fact even a passing thought.
Take tour over this town.
You will find garden tools that have
been discarded for the summer stand
ing around in corners exposed to the
weather. Lawn mowers will be rest
ing on the grass in the morning dew
or after a rain. Hatchets, hammers
even saws-may be found out of doors.
Wheel barrows, carts and other arti-
cles are the same.
Use ten cents worth of oil on them
and put them under cover and they
will be in prime condition for use when
required. But leave them to the mercy
of rust and the elements and soon they
will become junk instead of tools.
Drive out onto the farms, and in
many cases the same conditions will
confront you.
Wagons, buggies, farm machinery
much Of it delicate in mechanism
and expensive in COSTS standing out
in the yards or fields while sheds are
empty
Every day the parts are becoming
weaker by the rapid accumulation OF
rust-going to decay through thout-
lessness and neglect.
Only little oil and a little care!

ILLINOIS AND OHIO STATE
LEAD FIELD IN BIG TEN

sofa eleven yesterday, 3 to 0, on the
Gophers' field. but Coach Williams
team yesterday was a different af-
fair than that which met defeat at
the hands of Northwestern and In
dians early in the season.
Wisconsin lost to Ohio State, 1871,
in the last 30 seconds Of play. They
are in the best of shape for Illinois
next saturday. They beat Illinois
last year with the odds against
them. A haphazard guess is that
next Saturday will see the cham
pionship settNd.
Dope Favors Buckeyes.
Ohio State has the dope edge on
Illinois. The Buckeyes beat Michi-
gan seven points while Zuppke's
men slipped over only a 7-to-6 VIC
tory on the Wolverines Ohio State
scored a touchdown on Chicago for n
.7-to-6 victory while Illinois best was
drop kick, although it was q
plenty.
Illinois must beat Ohio State to
cop the gonfalon. 1t may lose to
Wisconsin and still claim the title by
the percentage route IL it beats Ohio
State. The Buckeyes have Just one
game left, Illinois.
Illinois is a better eleven, how
ever, against Ohio State than Wis
consin. Zuppke's men handed the
Buckeyes their only defeat of the
season last year in the title clash,
9 to 7. Also last year Wisconsin
tripped Illinois, IL to 10. Watch out

When Vardon and Ray toured the
United States just seven years ago
the result of each match was set
tied in advance. The others never
had a look-in.
Out of the many contests the two
British stars were beaten twice
That Is all. The rest was a merry
romp from course to course. Seven
years later the two eminent Wis
itors came upon a number of de-
cided changes.
They have now concluded tour
even more remarkable than the
first one made in 1913. but the Of
ficial score is different. Just at this
moment we haven't the compile Il
records of the tour at hand. but the
result is quite close. They lost al
most as many matches as they won
and, in meeting leading players
they lost more than they won.
For example, in one stretch al
Morris County and Englewood, they
lost three matches in two days to
Jones and Evans, Jones and Walker
and Jones and Kirkby.
Three defeats in two days Is a bit
different from two defeats in two
months.
n rev Reasons.
There are two reasons for this
big change in results. Golf has
bounded forward at terrific speed in
the last seven years.
In 1913 Hagen was playing in his
first big tournament Jim Barnes
was just getting under headway.
Bobby Jones was only IL years old.
Jock Hutchison hadn't settled to his
best stride. while most of the home
breds were just starting.
Americas best golfer then was
Jack McDermott, with Ouimet acting
in a miracle role.
But since 1913 any number of pro-
fessionals and amateurs have i'm
proved their play beyond all rec
ognition. Hagen, Barnes. Hutchi-
son, Diegel, French and others have
come far forward. Hundreds of new
courses have been added and many
thousands of new golfers have taken
up the game.
Vardon and Ray in 1920 faced
much rougher competition than they
did in 1913. They were forced to
meet American teams turning in
best balls around Sc, 81 and 6S over
championship courses. Beating a
pace of this sort isn't done every
day.
The Long Grind.
There was still another reason
for their many defeats. The tour
they took this later time over the
36-hole route was a trifie too long
to produce good, steady golf the
entire way.
Vardon had moved up from A to
81; Ray from Sc to 43. Seven years
are longer than they look to be at
this stage of a mans athletic life.
Between 21 and 35 seven years

YALE, FORCED
TOLIMIT, WINS
Bulldog Comes From Be-
hind in Last Quarter to
Trim Brown, l4-l0.

NEW HAVEN, Nov. 6.-Yale came
from behind twice this afternoon
in the game with Brown and finally
beat the Providence men, II to 10.
The game was a brilliant one from
the start to the final whistle and
from a Yale standpoint was a high
ly-satisfying one. The punch un-
covered in the final quarter with
defeat staring the Ellis in the face
was a reminder of bygone days in
Yale football affairs.
Brown scored in the second quar-
ter following two perfectly-eXecuted
plays of the aerial type. The first,
a lateral pass from Oden to Will
Jams, netted Is yards, placing the
pigskin on the 25-yard line. A
moment later a forward pass from
Moody to Albright landed the ball
on Yale's 5-yard line, from which
Oden took it over for a score. Arm
strong kicked the goal.
Yale came right back after Dill
worth had blocked one of Arm
strong's punts on the 9-yard line.
Three thrusts through the Brown
line resulted in a touchdown, Kelley
taking the ball over. Murphy tied
the score with a goal.
In the third quarter Armstrong
kicked a pretty goal from the
27-yard line and sent Browns score
up to 10. When the final quarter
opened Yale began a wonderful at
tack. The ball was worked to the
3-yard line but Brown held for
downs. Armstrong kicked out to
Murphy. who ran back to the
30-yard line. A moment later
Murphy shot a forward pass to
Sturm, who raced to the 3-yard
line Before he was thrown. In two
plunges Kelley took it over for the
score that won the game.

Vardon did. This was only natural.
But Vardon began to show signs of
wear and tear early in the tour
when the long. hard grind through
the summer heat began to affect
his game.
He was no longer the old Vardon
except as a stylist. At certain in
tervals, when feeling properly fit. he
could play the old game. But the
matter of turning in 3s holes, grab

turning In another Sc holes the next

looked to be a fiawless machine.
There were others when he looked

Who can blame him? Ever try to

succession without a rest? II you
have. figure what three months of
36-hole matches, from New York to

you can also imagine what 1t did
to Harry Vardon.
This will be the last tour of this
type. II they come again it will be
for a limited invasion and mostly
over the 1S-hole route. Since they
landed here, back in July, they have
walked something like 1900 miles,
and have each played more than
1900 different golf shots over
eighty different courses.
That should be enough to last out
summer, anyway. They left Offer

courses, with an excessive admira-

tackled.
Ray leaves with the Open Cham,
pionship in his grip, but the big
Englishman says he will return next
year to defend his title. In his two

won. Vardon, in his three trips
over, has won once, tied for frs:
upon the second occasion, and tied
for second upon his third visit.
Their combined records could have
been a whole lot worse.

You can't relieve skin torture
by scratching. Nor can you ex-
peet peace and comfort until
you remove the cause.

The disease appears in different
ways, sometimes with a reddening
and irritation of the skin. some
times in the form of bhsters. Other
cases of Eczema take the form of a
dry, scaly condition of the skin
that cracks and peels. But no mat
ter in what form the disease ap-
pears, it is a source of constant
fiery irritation that is well-nigh un-
bearable.
Eczema is very often considered
a skin disease. This is a natural
mistake, as il attacks the skin and
it is through the, skin that it causes
so much discomfort and suffering.
The germs of Eczema are in the
blood, and the irritated and dis
eased condition of the skin is the
result of the germs trying to break
out Of the system.
Beyond the use of antisepics
to promote cleanliness. there is no
local treatment that will accomplish
a permanent cure of this disease.
