The Green Wizard knocked three
times on the big chimney where the
Sweep lived, and the Sweep struck
out his head at once.
How, nowl" he cried. What can
] do for you, good siS?"
'I'll have a bucket OF ashes and
a can OF SCOT, IL you please" said
the Green Wizard. Nancy and
Nick are stuck In a ditch beside the
road and cant get out"
"Ay. you shall have It. and soon"
Faid the Sweep, and disappeared in
stantly.
He returned in no time at all and
handed the Green Wizard the ashes
and the SCOT.
Back went the Wizard over the
tree-tops TO the place where the
Twins were waiting and he sprinkled
the ashes and SCOT right in front
OF the wheels of the magic car.

No week Is complete in footba

Is badly shattered.
While the defeat Of Yale by Iowa
was entirely unexpected, still 1t
must be considered in the light Of an
upset.
A few years ago such a happening
would have been regarded as a foot
ball tragedy. However, the open
game has opened up any number Of
possibilities on the gridlron. You can
never tell what is going to happen.
West Point for three periods was
treated very rudely by the compare
lively unknown Alabama Poly
eleven. At the close Of the third
period the Army was on the short
end OF 10 0 score. Then the de-
tense OF the southerners collapsed
under the strain, the Army winning.

Coach Neale. Until the last few
minutes OF play Il seemed certain
that W. and ]. was doomed TO de-
feat.
In the West Illinois received a
serious setback in losing to the But
Ter College team, 10 to Z. II would
seem that Coach Zuppke OF Illinois
has a big task ahead whipping his
material into shapeSso that Illinois
will be able TO make an even fair
showing in the Western Conference
games.
Every follower Of Minnesota was
much interest IN the showing OF
that team. Under its new coach,
Bill Spaulding. Minnesota played its
first conference game. The fact that
It resulted ina 20 TO victory over
Indiana gives rise to the belief that
Minnesota may get somewhere in
western football this year.
Two elevens TO fall below expecta-
lions were Syracuse and Michigan.
Both were favored to win over
Brown and Vanderbilt, yet a score
less tie was the best they could do.
Michigan's line failed to come up to
expectations. The back field did
well enough, but the line played be-
low form.

was interesting because the Harvard

defeat at the hands OF Chester High

The obstetrics had a little too

Salesisnum. although outwelghed

throughout against the overwhelm-
ing odds. Through the forty-eight
minutes OF play the Sallies were on
the defense and when they did have
an opportunity TO lay hands on the

emily. Pard Larkin. a great line
man himself and now coach at
Chester. has produced another great
rush line.
Three minutes after the first
whistle. Nacrslli had crossed the
goal line. registering the first mark
er. The Orange and Black scored
eight touchdowns In all.
Nacrelli was the star OF the game.
His slashes OF tackle and speedy end
runs were a continued menace TO the
local aggregation. This little back
field man alone totaled something
like 10 yards. He also annex
ed two pointers after touchdown.
Another team mate OF Nacrellis
was Matavoy. This stumpy. fiashy
footballer also did his share OF the
work. This was the fellows second
time In a game and no sooner did
he get in the fray than he had reg
istered a touchdown. Captain Crooks
was the malnsprlng IN the offense
and defense OF Chester. He Is about
the best scholastic pivot man seen
on a local field In years.
The Chester eleven gained much
ground throughout the game and
forced the ten-yard mark 10 be
moved thirteen times. Seven OF these
were made IN the first half An
other interesting point Is that Ches-
ter punted only once in the game
and that was in the fourth period.
For saleslanum. Burke was the
outstanding figure. The husky full
back was the only one who could
gain and that was when Salesianum
got the ball, which was very seldom.
At one time he broke loose from the
Chester line and made the Gold and
White rooters elated when they saw
him get off on a run before being
brought down by Stowe.
"Apples' Reardon. the little fell

should be lauded for his fine effort.
The diminutive youngster played
quarter on the scrubs and with Cur
raine out OF the game. Coach Nal
10y placed him in the lineup, and
he certainly did his best.
An incident which drew attention
was the injury to DeFarge OF the
Chester backfeld combination. At
ter the first score had been chalked
up and in the next play he was TAX
en- out Of the game After a quick
investigation by their doctor, Il was
found that he had a badly injured
hip. This marks the second time
that this youth has sustained an
injury while playing in this city.

Chester were battling at Harlan

broken collar bone after the first
period. He was taken TO the local
hospital and remained here for two

an impression.
Reasons for Failure.
The failure OF many notable high

iaymen 20 inquire why Il IL that
high school stars do not make good
In college.
Now everything in this world Is
relative, not excepting football. and
many relatively mediocre players be-
come what are termed high school
stars simply because the quality Of
the men they play with and against
in their high school days Is even
lower than their own.
