The famous gambling resorts OF
Deauville and Monte Carlo are un'

queer are the faiths of the men ana

and omens.
At Monte Carlo a man and woman

and while the man played. the won'

cat for luck. The mans luck was
good at first, but 1t changed later

At Deauville a Russian explained
his success by admitting that he ate

Classical Today

With the guns all laid Cobun is
waiting the arrival Of Higgins Classi-
cal Institute football team. The
game will be the only football at
attraction in the city today and will
take place on the Libbey field at 80.
The rivalry between these schools
always brings forth a crowded field
and especially today as there is no
other attraction it is expected that
there will be one of the biggest col
lection Of fans that Co5urn has ever
played to.
Last night Coach Haincs wound
up the work for the week. 1t con-
sisted OF a light WORKOUT with the
kickors and rassers. There was a
long drill on signals. The team mas
shown rapid Improvement during the
past two weeks and should be in fine
condition today as it is the ijrst
game in two weeks. The interference
in the back field is positive quantity
after its absence for the first of the
season. The boys arc working to-
ScthCr SO that some Ions runs should
be made. Ingraham has showed a
decided improvement in his kicklng
He is able to get his kicks away
much faster than before but has to
sacrifice a little distance. Even With
this sacrifice he is boctng the
spheriod around the half century
mark. Should Coburn elect to play
kicking game she ought to have
decided advantage In the overhead
game the Hainesmen have been given
careful attention. The boys have all
kinds of passes in their bag of tricks.

across the crowded floor. The room
had a distinctly Halloween appearance
which was very fitting for the occa-
