More Jobs Than Men
for Nebraska Railroad

Special Despatch to THE New York HEaALp.
OMAHA, Sept. 25.-There is no
unemployment in Nebraska
and those who talk of no work
either don't want work or don't
know what they are talking
about, according to General
Superintendent Flynn Of the
Burlington Railroad.
For two weeks the Burlington
has sought to find men to fill one
hundred various jobs and has not
been able to obtain them, MIR.
Flynn says.
"There may be serious un-
employment crisis in the East"
said Mr.. Flynn, "but any talk of
a shortage of work out here is all
bunk.
"There are two kinds of peo-
pie talking about unemployment,
those who don't want to work
and those who don't know what
they are talking about"

Glen Killinger. Penn States super

all eyes tomorrow at Forbes Field,
Pittsburgh. when the Nittany Lions
tackle Pop Warner Panthers In an
effort to clinch the Eastern football
championship.
This game is the biggest on the
Turkey Day schedule. II the Lions
win II they will be supreme on the
Atlantic seaboard, winding up with
eight victories and one tie out of a
stiff schedule Of nine regular games.
State has a game with Washington
University at Seattle, December 3,
but 1t will have no bearing on the
Eastern title.
Throughout a brilliant season of
competition against some Of the
strongest teams in the East. KILN

Hugo Bezdek's team. He IL one of

has won his spurs as a field general

tackler at close quarters by sheer
speed alone.

JOHNS HOPKINS READY
FOR TURKEY DAY GAME

BALTIMORE, Nov. 23.-Coach Van
Orman has completed every prepare
ton for Johns Hopkins big game to-
morrow with Washington and Lee on
Homewood Field. The Black and Blue
displayed the brand Of football OF
which they are capable when they
won the State championship in the
game with st. Johns on Saturday.
That was an exhibition Of football that
will live long in the memories Of the
crowd who watched 1t.
The Turkey Day" contest should
bring forth an even better brand of
skill, for the two teams are moro
evenly matched, and the Fighting
Generals" have team who have
every intention of feasting on the Hop
kins turkey. They held the strong
Rutgers team to a 13-to-14 score and
defeated v. p. l., 5 to o, while they
held the Centre College eleven to a
2-to-0 victory.
However, Van Orman and his war
riors will not be found resting on their
laurels, and the contest should be a
fitting close Of a very successful sea-
son for Hopkins.

CONTEST TODAY
Tech Meets Business, With
MacCartee Absent From Man
uaI Trainers Lineup.

Tech and Business wind up the 1922
title football series today In the
Central High stadium. Tech. on past
performance, Is a favorite, but will
probably be deprived Of the services
Of Allan MacCartee at quarterback.
Business recently rolled up a score
Of 66 to o on the Rock Hill College
schoolboys, and is likely to cause Tech
a lot of trouble. The Business eleven
this season is by all odds the best
team turned out at the Rhode Island
Avenue institution in many years.
Western defeated Business by to
6; Central won Z to 0 game from
Business. and Eastern a to 0 contest.
The Stenogs have had but twenty
points scored against them thus far.
which is a better record than any
other Business team in ten years.
Tech was a disappointment to itself
and iH followers. The Manual Train
crs failed to make the grade against
Central when they had apparently won
the engagement. Tech failed to stand
up against the Central lads when II
came down to sheer fight for the
honors, and lost a 7-to-6 contest.
Central won the championship by
defeating Eastern, Business, Tech, and
drew with Western. Yesterday the
Central lads walked all over the Mary
land Freshmen in a 10-to-0 engage
ment in the stadium.

Hunk Anderson Gives
Notre Dame Real
Slogan

Hartley Anderson, whom the
boys all know as Hunk, is a red
blooded man. Whenever a deli
cate patient needs a few quarts
of blood the attending physician
sends for Hunk Anderson, left
guard on the Notre Dame foot
ball team. If it does not happen
twice during the school year
Hunk is offended.
But he always manages to re-
serve enough to play a fighting
game at left guard. Hunk is
the fightingest person on the
Fighting Irish" squad-the sort
of a battling human who needs
no cheer leader nor tea hound
to pat him on the back at a pep
meeting to make him fight.
Pep meetings illustrate this
red-blooded battler of the grid

affairs and spoke line that is
now a slogan at Notre Dame.

any eleven a far better chance to
win than was the case a year ago.

Bethany lost in 1920 by a score of IA

slow soggy field. BY consioerapie
effort the Hilltoppers managed 10
score two touchdowns before the final
quarter. Then Bethany came to life.
