REAL FOOTBALL ON SATUR-
DAYS CARD.

New York, Oct. 2O.-First real foot
ball bangs of the season starts to-
morrow with an attractive program.
Features of the schedule are the
games between Harvard and Centre
college at Cambridge and Georgia
Tech and the Naval academy at Anna
polls.
Centre beat Harvard last year and
the Colonies will give the Crimson a
fight simply, because they teach them
TO fight at Centre. The Colonies
however, haven't the chance to win
they had last year.
Georgia Tech probably will have an
interesting time with the midship-
men. The Southerners are strong
for the style of depending on strong
attack for the defense, while the mid
shipmen are always well schooled on
the defense.
Featured in the Middlewest will be
the game between Ohio State, for
mer champions Of the Western cone
ference, and Michigan.
In addition to its effects on the
conference championship race it viii
be big game because it will be the
official opener for the new million
dollar Ohio stadium.
Other interesting games in the con-
ference will be between Iowa ana
Illinois. Indiana and Wisconsin and
Minnesota and Northwestern.
Pancho Villa, the new American
flyweight champion, had a tough
time getting any kind of a chance in
the ring.
He was unknown and the match
makers for all the clubs didn't think
much of the fighting ability Of any
yellow man.

ure of Opium Trade
Leaders,

When the President Arthur, of the
United States Lines, reached here yes
terday officers of the vessel reported
that owing to the efforts Of Captain
Paul Kriebohm, commander of the ship,
band of drug smugglers, thought to
be German ringleaders in the opium
smuggling trade. were captured in
Bremen just before the steamer left
that port.
Captain Kriebohm, it was said. got
word that the smugglers were ,endeav-
oring to secrete a large consignment of
narcotics on board the President Ar
thur as she was about to sail on July
20. He decided to act as his own de-
tective, and got in touch with the gang
through one of the sailors, making
them an offer for the drugs himself
When they appointed rendezvous Cap
tain kriebohm met them with the nee
essary papers in a room which, he said,
was full Of cocaine, heroin and NOR
phine. He then gave signal to the
police of Bremerhaven, whom he had
arranged to have in hiding nearby. and
the drug smugglers, consisting of four
men and a woman, were seized and
Jailed. Their leader, it was said, was
found to be we'll known criminal who
had escaped from prison after having
been convicted for attempted murder.

French Line Head Calls
German Pact Aid to u. S.
Tillier Says He Attempted to
Get Same Sort of Agreement
as the How'd Line

The contract between the United
States Lines and the North German
Lloyd Steamship Company for CO.
operation in traffic between New York
and Bremen probably will work out to
the advantage of the American mer-
chant marine, according to Maurice
Tillier, director general of the French
line, who arrived here Saturday.
NJ. Tillier said that shortly after the
war French shipping officials en-
deavored TO make q similar agreement
with American concerns, but that this
was unsuccessful. The matter has
been dropped, he said.
The arrangement with the North
German Lloyd, he commented, gives
the United States lines an excellent
opportunity to get into a port where
Shipping is just reviving. He expects
the American company to be an i'm
portant factor in the trade.
NJ. Tillier called attention to re-
ports in the American press some
time ago that the French government
had caused 100000 tons Of Alsatian
potash to be shipped to this country
on vessels flying the French flag. He
denied emphatically that the govern
ment had used any influence, saying
that the field was omen to all and the
French line obtained the movement
on business basis
