Raiser.

Preparations for the American Leg
ion boxing card to be given or the eve
ming Of November II. in the city audi

Tho six-round mix will be staged by
Albert Yak. of Angus, Mimi. q senior
student at-the University Of North Da-
kota. and Borchers. a protege OF
Marks, the local man who brought out
Pal Duncan. Neither has ever appear
cd In q local ring. Borchers has been
boxing for 4 long time. but has never
had a chance to show his wares and
those who watched him work out are
confident that he will make a very
favorable impression on the fans. He
is in perfect condition at the present
fast n a willing mixer. There was
no trouble in coming to ar under
standing with him regarding what he
should receive or whom he should
meet. All he wanted was a chance to
show what he could do.
.Zak Has Experience
FAX is somewhat lighter than Bor-
cheers, but q more experienced boxer.
He is prominent IN f1stic circles at the
University and clever. He has been
boxing all fall but started his inten-
sive training for the bout Saturday.
Az the card lines up it is the great
est event of its kind v scheduled in
this part of the country. With Billy
Miske and Bud Ryder AS the main at
traction, Bliven and Krause for the
semi-windup and Yak and Borchers
for the opener. the entertainment
promises to"be of an order far over the
kind attempted in cities the size OF
Grand Forks. Promoters for the Leg
ion stated yesterday that it was the
intention of the local post to give the
boxing fans the best possible evening
of sport that could be provided and
that II the affair was not appreciated
1t would not repeat the attempt. On
the other hand they said that II this
section OF the country showed hat il
was .nts rested in seeing men Of the
caNbre who would appear on Novem-
Der IL: it would arrange even higher
class cavds
Main Bout Appealing
The bout between the heavyweighta
is attracting more attention than any
sAA VSA CNGk AlCO 1l0Ic
Miske is known as one of the creates,
of the present crop of heavyweights
and has never been in Grand Forks
although a st. Paul man. He will
weight around 1873 pounds when hi
steps Into the ring on the night o.
November IL. and opposing him will
be a giant Of the size Of Jess Willard
who although young at the game /.
rated a clever boxer. Speculation II
rife as to what will happen.
Just how good Ryder is no one
knows. The feature Of uncertainty
make the affair all the more appealing
to boxing followers. The assurance.
from the Ryder camp are that he /.
plenty good enough to give Miske al
the battle lie :s looking for and is our
to win. His record makes him lool
like a formidable opponent for tn,
contender for the heavyweight title.

CHICAGO WINS
BITTER FIGHT
FROM TIGERS II
North Dakota Boys Star on
Maroon Team; Kicking
Ability Gives Margin.

Chicago, Oct. 30.-The Princeton
Tigers triumphed ove Chicago here
Saturday in pribably the most thrill
ing football game yer seen on Stage
field. The score <was 21Nto Is, the
margin being three points scored at
ter touchdowns.
Each team crossed the other goal
line three times, but the westerners
had no one who could boot the bail
over he cross bar in the lace of the
charging Princeton team and this fact
gave Princeton the winning edge. ArS
Probably every known play that
would bring thrills to hearts of the
SPECTATORS was furnished. in Satur-
days contest. Forward passes, DASH
ing end runs, spiraling puntsn fierce
line smashes and recovered fumbles
all entered into the spectacle. Added to
this were two desperate stands in
Chicago, finally yielded the winning
touchdown and the other in which the
Tigers STAYED off defeat by inches with
only seconds of playing time left. ,
N. d. Boy Again Hero.
John Thomas Of Jamestown, N. d.
who was mainly responsible. for
Prlnceton's defeat. 3 to 9, in 1921, was
again the hero of the Maroons. He
scored all three OF the we%sterners'
touchdowns. but was stopped at the
close Of the game.
This made the victory only the
sweeter to the Princeton partisans.
Every available inch of Stage field
was packed and while seating capacity
was announced as $4,000, Coach Stage
squeezed several more thousand into
the field.
The first half was a see-saw fight
between two highly, developed offen-
stves. Chicago showed the greater
power through the line; but Princeton
had an endge on aerial tactics. Nei.
ther team could turn the ends.
The Maroons enjoyed an unexpected
advantage at the start, gaining ground
steadily. under Strohmeier's and Ply
otis punts. The. latter drove the ball
upwards of SO yards, but Princeton's
punters lacked full opportunity to- dis
play their wares. as the home team
tackles were through and forced hur-
ried work on every attempt. Chicago
had first chance to score when one Of
these hurried punts gave them tho
ball on their own 43 yard line. The
Thomas brothers. sturdy North Dako-
ia products, carried the ball alternate
~ 'ands finally John pushed it over.

Really Nothing to II.

The Imperial War museum, London,
England, is compiling record of slang,
and will be glad to receive any notes
on the subject, giving the slang terms
used In the army, together with the
meaning Of the term, and, II possible,
the derivation. 1t Is quite understood
that many Of these terms are not fit
for polite conversation, hut at the
same time 1t is considered that they
will be valuable for record purposes.
In this connection may be told the
story of the new recruit who ques-
toned an oldtimer on the subject Of
the French language. Did he have any
difficulty In making himself under
stood? None whatever, said the
veteran, who was Scotsman. For
example, suppose you wanted a couple
Of eggs you said "twa Oeufs," and the
old woman would bring three (trois)
whereupOn you sent one back again.

RATS CAN BE ExTERMINATED
Writer Points to the Wiping Out Of
the Passenger Pigeon az Proof
Of Assertion.

In the Book Of Books we read, won
deringly, Of the plaques visited on the
Egyptians, says the Philadelphia North
American, editorially. In the record
OF the centuries we find numerous ref
erences to plaques of other sort-and
all the while we are entertaining-yes,
supporting and encouraging-the most
destructive Of plaques.
In this land and throughout the
world. we are permitting rats to de-
srroy property and endanger human
hfe. The word permit" is the only
one to use, for rats and mice could be
got rid Of If concerted, persistent ef
fort were made.
Let him who doubts this possibility
inquire about the passenger pigeon
which, within 90 years, Inhabited this
country in such numbers as to actually
oarken the face Of day In Its flights
and Of which not one specimen now
reWains.
II was easier to destroy these birds
than 1t would be to destroy rats and
mice, but the possibility Of the one
achievement jusnfies belief In that Of
the other. And there can be no doubt
ing the need for this destruction.
1t has been figured by experts that
we have at least one rat for each of
our inhabitants-that Is the ratio gen.
orally accepted in such civilized coun-
tries as France, England and America.
In certain parts of less civilized cOun-
tries the ratio Is higher.

TELEPHONES IN GREAT WAR
american Equipment Said to Have
Been Complete Down to the Small
est Imaginable Detail.

According to the chief signal officer
Of the A. Il. F., two armies, L. corps,
03 divisions and As field signal bat
.alions were completely equipped with
telephone supplies. The signal corps
constructed 1890 miles Of permanent
pole lines with 28,OOO miles Of wire /;
put up 1920 miles Of wire on French
poles and installed approximately 49,
COO miles Of combat lines.
Telephone exchanges on permanent
lines In France numbered 273, and
those In the advance section 123, be-
sides small temporary field installa-
lions.
About 1,6OOOOO long distance tefe-
phone calls were handled by the sig
nal corps, together with local telephone
calls estimated at 47,OOO,OOO. The Or
ganixatlOn of this system required the
services of. veritable army Of tele-
phone experts, the Bell system alone
having contributed 1880 employees
who served overseas. Girl telephone
operators Of the system to the num-
Der Of 233 went to France In the uni
form Of the signal corps.
So completely organized was the
system Of telephone communications
that 1t has been said that If he had
desired to do so, General Pershing
could have taken up his telephone at
his headquarters In Chaumant and
called up any second lieutenant, sit
ting at the end Of wire In an ad-
vance post, anywhere along the entire
sector occupied by the American
forces.

Touched Eireman's Heart.

An old mother cat got caught In an
apartment house fire with her four kit
tens In Brooklyn. A fireman named
Smith was at work In the thick Of the
smoke when he felt soft and persist
ent rubbing against his foot. TIE
smoke was so thick that he could not
see the floor distinctly, but he bent
over and found the object was a cat.
She wasn't worried so much about her
self, but she had her whole family
four kittens-with her In pasteboard
box which she had dragged from, the
flames. The trouble was that she
could not get the box downstairs with
our spilling It's contents. 30 Smith
rescued her and the kittens, and got
badly cut by broken glass in doing so.
