the little down-State mentor right
fully adds another prop to his
title Of miracle man." Intercepted
passes beat Wisconsin. Five or
six dangerous marches into I'LL
nois territory were checked by
this means.
Each interception meant a gain
for Illinois of from thirty to forty
yards. as a punt would have gained
that much for the Badgers, and a
total loss Of from $50 to 200 yards
is difficult handicap for any team
to overcome.
The defeat puts Wisconsin out

Just what combination will start
in the backfield will hardly be known
for a few days. The best quartet
consists of DuFour, Flavin, Malley
and Kenyon. but three of these play

or knees, and, even If started. the
combination can hardly remain in
the running long.
1t is more likely that Coach Exen-

backs AGAINST Bucknell. The invad'

Looking over the latest all-star
baseball team-it is the work of
Wilbert Robinson, the Brooklyn
manager, an old catcher with the
famous Baltimore Orioles-we
are prone to compare it with
those picked by Connie Mack and
John McGraw on previous Sun
days.
Robbie's first-sacker, his best
for all time, is George Sisler. So
was Comics. McGraw preferred
Frank Chance.
Robbie's second baseman is
Eddie Collins. Connie Mack
could not choose between Collins
and Larry Lajoie. McGraw
picked Rogers Hornsby.
Frank Frisch is Robbie's best
third-sacker of all time. Connie
Mack again has two berths for
the same job, Jimmy Collins and
Frank Baker, while McGraw Sc
lected Heinie Groh.
Completing the infeld, Robin
son offers Rogers Hornsby or
Hans Wagner, with Connie Mack
presenting the names of Everett
Scott and Jack Barry. McGraw
had no doubts. He picked Hans
Wagner.

Virginia's showing against Har-

THE HEN CALLS FOR HELP

Finally the food profteers have locked horns with
a real opposition.
They face the memorable persisteneypof, the
great American hen and panic reigns.
Some years ago the American hen gave warning
that she might prove dangerous enemy and bring
absut fair prices but the shrewd proteers countered
and when the hen laid in sufficient volume to feed the
people the cold storage warehouse was conceived.
Instead of being distributed at prices governed
by the law of supply and demand, eggs were stored,
kept fro the people, and doled out at uniformly high
prices.
1t appears, however that the great American hen
has been thinking.
The result is she has again come to the front with
production bewildering that the cold storage
plants caanot take care of it.
TRUE, in spite of this, eggs in New York are sell
lang frem 60 to IS cents dozen.
But the bump is at hand.
If the hen gets little support from the public
and little tiny egg strike be started the backbone of
the price extortion will be broken.
1t is all very well to store eggs, but when it comes
to erecting more and more great steel and concrete
structures equipped with the expensive freezing
plants to take care of them, them it may be thought
better to sell the present stock at fair price.
There are now 100000 600 dozen eggs in storage
more than three dozen for every person in the
United States.
And the great American hen is still on the job.
