minent among the speakers.

dent Glenn are remarkable. A har..
monious and progressive spirit is to

prevalent that DR.. Glenn is being
seriously considered for the Bishopric
but should he be elaveted, wilberrorce
will be the loser.

SINGLE IOWA
TOUCHDOWN IS
YALE'S DEFEAT
1921 Conference Winners Out
play Ellis In New Haven
Bowl.

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 14.-(By
The Associated Press)-Iowa's mighty
football eleven, champions of the west
ern conference, gave Yale, a member
Of the 'big three" of the east, its
first defeat by a conference eleven to-
day, and it was a decisive victory. The
score was 6 to o, representing a touch
down from a march half the length OF
the field, which started late in the first
period and ended at Yale's last white
line soon after the second period be-
gan. But Iowa's superiority was much
greater than the final score shows.
Howard Jones, Iowa's mentor, is
therefore champion football coach OF
the Jones family. but in the latter hall
of the game he must have recalled the
stirring finishes of Yale's football
teams in the days when he and his
brother Tad, now Yale coach, played
on the same Yale eleven.
Yale threatened to tie and possibly
win the game, a concerted advance to-
ward Iowa's goal of 70 yards ending a
few seconds before the last whistle
blew with a forward pass over the goa
line which grounded.
Tad, as quarterback, directed two
famous games against Princeton in
which Yale came from behind for vic.
tory.
The efforts of Coach Tad's pupils
to repeat football history thrilled
some 10000 spectators on an idea
football day-thrilled them no less
than. they had been amazed by the
power of Iowa's o%ffense shown in the
first half of the game; thrilled them
even as much as they had been sur
prised in the first half by Iowa's fail,
ure TO score more points. Fumbles
were the principal reasons for this
failure. Penalties contributed.
Howard does not think, however
that he is a better coach than his
brother. He insists he merely has a
better team. As he and his pupils
boarded a train half an hour after the
whistle blew, he said:
Il am glad for Iowa's sake that we
won. 1t was a test of the two teams
good game"
Tad Jones crossed the field imme-
diately after the game and shook hands
with his brother and Captain Gordon
Locke of Iowa.
In a statement, Tad said:
Il have nothing but praise for the
Iowa team. but | also have unlimited
confidence in this Yale team. ANY
other comment that / might make
would probably be misunderstood.
Captain Locke. his team and Howard
have my congratulations
Iowa had four excellent scoring op-
%portunities when it had the ball within
81 yards of Yale's goal. One of these
opportunities was realized.
Yale also had four opportunities
Inability to throw the forward pass
was the chief factor in Yale's failure
10 make the best of its chances. Yale
did not complete one forward pass
throughout the game, while Iowa had
four successful ones for a total gain
: of 50 yards.

Worried Gibbons

st. Paul. Oct 14NThat Tommy
Gibbons. St. Paul boxer, sensed that
something was wrong and that his
thoughts were far from the ring in
New York Friday night when he lost
on a foul TO Billy Miske was the opin-
ion expressed by friends here today.
as arrangements were being made for
the funeral Of Thomas Gibbons, Sr.,
his father. who died yesterday.
Tommy knew his father was crit
ically i'll when he left for New York
Sunday night.
Gibbons. Sr.. died about noon Fri
day but the news was withheld until
night.
According to Mike Phantom" Glib
bons, his brother, Tommy was hest
tant about leaving st. Paul for New
York Sunday. He knew that his
fathers condition was serious, but he
also knew. Mike said. the skepticism
with which boxing fans receive the
announcement of a cancelled fight. He
believed that his father would rather
have him fill his engagement than &c
risk being suspected of trying to run
OUT of the fight.
Although he watched with great in
terest his boys progress in the boxing
game. Mr.. Gibbons never attended any
Of their fights. He always promised
to "see the next one" but when the
time came he begged off" He as
sited with advice and occasionally
worked out with the boys.
Mr.. Gibbons was II years old ant

30 years, coming here from Ireland

held here Monday.

years. The events were run off at the
high school athletic field.
Troop 3 piled up a total of % points,

ceremonies, 10 troops were represent
ed. The American flag was saluted,
the Scout oath repeated and announce
ments made.
The first event was signaling. Only
two teams entered, those representing
troops 3 and 10. After a snappy send
ing, troop 10 was found to be ahead
by a substantial margin. In the ante
lope race. where eight Scouts from
each troop race in single file. holding
the Scout ahead by the belt, troop 3
took first place, with troop p second
and No. 13 third.

inches behind. was third. In the Paul
Revere race, after a close finish, troop
p was first and No. 3 second, No. 10
third. In point of entries. the meet
was not so large as on previous years.
but in quality of work done it was
superior TO any Scout meet ever held
in Great Falls.
The winning signaling team from
troop 10 included McCaig, Kilroy.
Wyatt and Appel. The prize goes to
MLcCaig on action taken by his team
mates. The winning antelope team
from troop 3 included Fletcher, Schu-
Ter. Patton Lille. DeCew. Gemberling
and Mowery. The winning first aid
