the tumult, and the university band

The team was piled on an upholster-

ness district in the midst Of uproar-
| ious enthusiasm.
But bumps and bruises We're there,
even tho forgotten for the moment.
| Aubrey Devine, marked man
singled out for special attention from
the HOLSTERS, was bruised all over
his body and even cut about the
| chest. Most of the game he played
without knowing what he did. When
he passed the ball to Kadesky for
the second touchdown he could not
remember the play, but enquired how
! the score had been made. This
touchdown, by the way, was erron-
eously credited to Belding by news
paper men in the stands at the game.

Ames Coaches Face Problem.

Ames, Oct. 5.-With their first
conference contest with Grinnell
scheduled for next Saturday. mem
bers of the Iowa State College foot
ball squad and coaching staff are
faced with the job of converting u
comparatively green team into n
understanding machine
The to 0 defeat of lie Cyclones
at the hands OF Coe College ~aturday
made clear a number Of Weaknesses
that will be worked on this week.
The team that met Coo was made up
largely of green men. only three OF
the "A" being in the original line .up.
Theqaddition Of White, one OF the
best half backs developed iast year,
who reported for practice too late to
get into the regular lineup for the
Coe contest. will make a big differ
ence in the backfield. Alsin, who
played guard last year, and John
Webb. who won a letter at end, are
on the squad after late return to
school and should help boost the
chances of the Cyclones. Vanderloo,
veteran fullback, is another old man
who is back.
Iowa state showed flashes Of
form during the game. especially in
the last period which, according to
dopesters, give an indication of what
the team will be able to do with a
little more practice. a number Of
shifts In the lineup are expected be-
fore the Cyclones meet the Pioneers,
The line showed especially poorly
Saturday and it +. is thought that
Coach Paine will have new COM
bination to ententhe field by the end
OF this week.

In the Fiji islands polished ivory
tambu, or whales tooth is symbol of
chieftainship, and extremely valuable,
as any request backed by an exhibit
ton of a tambu is theoretically
bound to be granted. Thus, If a Fi1ian
headman wishes to marry a neighbor-
ing chiefs daughter, he sends a mes
senger first with the precious tambu,
supposing him to possess one. Neither
the girl nor her father has then any
further choice in the matter. The
wedding has got to be. These OBJ
iects, as may well be imagined, are
jealously guarded by their fortunate
possessors; and any Fijian, if well
enough off, will purchase one from
foreigner for large sum. The ma
tiyes never, or at least very rarely,
can be induced to sell their tambus.
Tactful district commissioners fre-
ouently follow the Fijian custom, and
when asking for hospitality on their
tours in the interior, send a whales
tooth with their messenger.

ENGLISH OAK MOST DURABLE
Specimens Of II Have Been Known 10
Survive In Good Preservation for
Centuries.

The durability of English oak is the
greatest of any known forest timber,
discoveries having been made that 1t
is preserved almost as well under
water through centuries as 1t is when
shielded by roofs in ancient castles.
Professor Burnett Of London pos
sessed a piece of English oak from
King Johns palace at Ethan, per-
fectly sound and strong, which can be
traced back for more than five hun
dred years. The oaken shrine of Ed
ward the ConfessOr is more than eight
hundred years old. One Of the oaken
coronation, chairs IN Westminster abb
hey has been there for more than FIVE
centuries.
In Gloucester cathedral there are
thirty-one stalls of rich tabernacle
work executed in oak in the reign Of
Edward III, and beautifully perfect.
When the foundations Of the old Savoy
palace in London, built zoo years
previously, were torn down, the piles,
many of which were of oak, were
found in a state of perfect soundness.
A vessel, found in the river Rother, in
Kent, said to date back to the time Of
King Alfred, was found to be sound
despite the fact that its oaken keel
had been buried in the mud. An oak
boat was found near Brigg in an al
most perfect condition, despite the
fact IT was nearly two hundred years

At the start of the fight his first
in IA months. Dempsey peeled off the
same worn and patched sweater that
he wore when he knocked out Jess
Willard. His face wore the same
fighting frown, he danced about the
ring with old-time ightfootedness
and finished up BY taking the fight in
the third round, just as he did at To-
ledo. The third round went one min
ute and 10 seconds.
Miske went down three times in less
than two and one-half rounds Of
fighting. In the second he measured
his length on the floor for the count
of five. In the fatal third. driven to
his corner under rain of lefts and
rights to the stomach and chin, the
took the count of nine, and
had just regained his feet when
Dempsey. carefully measuring his
distance, finished the bout with a
righthand punch to the chin.
The fight was watched BY one of
the most orderly crowds on record at

bright clothing were scattered
through the audience from the ring
side to the back fence, where they
perched alongside the wicked barbed
wires and outshone some of the sign
