The racing game knows no mystery
beyond that which involves the form
reversal of the once mighty Norwich.
The super-race horse of 1921. winner
of eleven straight races, without draw
ing a long breath, looked like the sur
est of all sure things for 1922. There
seemed to be nothing in the three
year old class which could even come
close to him over any distance of
ground, over any track and under any
conditions
Yet Norwich was beaten again and
again and again.
And without any definite explana-
ton.
The colt trained like a whirlwind
during the springtime and seemed to
have everything he possessed in 1921
with greater stamina added. They
sent him into the classic Kentucky
Derby and Norwich won it like the real
thoroughbred that he is. In that race,
by travelling the mile and quarter
route without drawing a deep breath.
he made those who were skeptical
about his distance powers admit:
Could Travel Route
Norwich can travel the route as
we'll as sprint"
After his Derby triumph, Norwich
looked to have every other big three
year old race at his mercy.
And then, without rhyme or reason,
came the collapse
He was beaten by Whiskaway-an
then, to prove that it wasn't fluke
victory-Whiskawa beat him again.
The climax tragedy in the career Of
Norwich came in the running of the
Fall lightweight Handicap when Nor
vich. travelling in only ordinary com
pany, carrying his usual impost, and
over his favorite distance-six fur
longs-finished a dismal fourth.
What caused it?
No one knows
Had Good Health
If Norwich had suffered an injury
during the season, or if he had been
sick. the explanation might have been
found in that. But the sensation colt
of 1921 went throughout the year of
1922 without knowing an hour of bad
health. In his workouts he seemed
to have the same speed and power, the
same love for running which he eXhib-
| tied a year ago.
After his every workout, those who
handled him were sure that he was
a cinch horse in the coming race. But
Norwich, In his races, ran like a sell
| ing platter. The cyclonic speed al
| the start which made him a sensation
year ego, was missing-he couldn't
/ beat anything.
| Had Norwich gone stale?
| That might be the explanation. But

Chips and Slips

Lewis L. Clarke, president of the
American Exchange National bank of
New York, tells Judge this capital
story of the lack Of emotion of the
average banker when approached for
a financial favor.
A gentleman desiring to borrow
some money called upon the presi-
dent of prominent bank and told his
story in an appealing manner.
After listening, the banker said :
MY friend, I'll make you sporting
propositions sort of 'fifty-fifty' pro-
posal. 1t is not generally known that

IOWA TO CHALLENGE
EkST'S SUPREMACY
IN Big YALE BOWL
(Ry United Pressl

NEW HAVEN. Conn, Oct IL
Challenge of the west to the casts
claim Of football supremacy will be
flung down at the Big Yale bowl by
the University of Iowa next Saturday.
Coach Howard Jones big Ten"
champions are coming east for the
first time to take on Coach Tad Jones'
big Yale eleven in the greatest inter
sectional game of the season.
The meeting OF east and west, each
probably the strongest team of its Sec
ton, has stirred football enthusiasts
throughout the Mississippi Valley and
western conference regions to fever
of enthusiasm unusual for mid-season.
Even the east where ii is considered
too early in the season to become
really stirred over football, is working
up pigskin complex for Saturday.
The meeting of the Jones brothers,
each highly successful coach, and
comparison of their methods, furnish
es much food for football thought.
First Eastern Invasion.
II will be Iowa's first match against
an eastern team. The game will find

tainty, with the Blues final lineup

doubt and it is probable that a couple
Of elevens will get into the fray against
the westerners before it is over.
Iowa closed her season last year
with a clean slate. The Hawkeye
eleven, defeated Indiana, Notre Dame,
Northwestern, Illinois, Minnesota and
Purdue.
Only seven of the mighty team How
ard Jones put in the field last year
remain. Aubray Davina, all-American
quarter; Glen Devine, star halfback;
Lester Belding, and Duke Slater, tackle
were lost to the Hawkeyes by gradua-
ton.
Veterans In Line.
In the Iowa line however, there will
be Mead at right guard; Minick, left
guard; Thompson, left tackle. kade'
sky, left end and HEIDI, center. Eng
ledenger, former West Point star, will
probably be at right tackle. Johnson
and krize are two other possibilities
for line jobs. At right end, Coach
Howard Jones, probably will start Han
cock, freshman, last year Nugent
Jones, Wade, Mcintyre and Modem
hauer are powerful subs who may get
into action against the blue.
Captain Locke at fullback, with Mil
Ter and Shuttleworth as halfbacks
form the nucleus of battering back
field for Iowa. Parkin, a capable little
field general probably will be in Au
brey Devine's shoes this year. Jacqua
White and Frank are other strong
Hawkeye backs.
Yale Experienced.
Yale's lineup is much in doubt. Tad
Jones will probably take the rest OF
the week experimenting The Yale
eleven has had a lot more practice
than the westerners, the latter having
been forbidden by conference rules
to start practice before Sept. Is.
Hundreds of Iowa graduates as well
as many from other western schools
are planning to attend the game.

Prosperity Is Here To Be Welcomed

Predictions of prosperity to come have been tax
ing much space in the public press for the last year
Opinions of many men supposedly qualified to speak
hshed. But here is not prediction based on hope
general conditions but upon statistical facts
Some New York banks took the trouble to gather up
the facts and present them as real evidence Ac-
cording TO these figures bank cearings in 165 cities
are 1871 per cent higher than year ago; industrial
employment in New York State II per cent and
throughout the country Is per cent pig iron pro-
duction lit per cent; zinc production "a per cent
copper production 20 per cent automobile SO per
cent; sugar MEETINGS 78 per cent; electric produc
ton Il per cent building contracts 81 per cent etc
These figures the true index of what has happen
ed and firm foundation on which to build ire
mendous prosperity for the immediate future
From these facts the banks draw the obvious con-
illusions that real prosperity is here and but waiting
the settlement of industrial conditions to be visible
AS officer of one of these organizations put it
'When all allowances have been made for the clouds
overhead and for the great seriousness of the
forces of dsorganizaton as expressed in the strikes
the domestic economic position presents pleasing
contrasts with that prevailing one year ago, when
American business was at the lowest ebb in many
years. To some of these contrasts is to gain
the twO-fOld conviction that business recovery has
been substantial and that, when strikes are settled
the revival will logically continue many months be-
fore reaching the crest of new prosperous era"
