WASH.JEFF READY
NOW FOR WABASH
Holsters Expected to. Give
Red and Black Hard
Grid Tussle.

WASHINGTON, Pa, Nov. s.
When Manager Murphy of WASH,
Jeff was arranging his schedule for
the present season he had numerous
requests from managers through
out the East and Middle West for
a game here on November II. The
date was to be the final one on the
home card and Murphy was parted
larly anxious to fill it with a team
shat would give local patrons a fine
finale to the local season.
Among others Wabash asked for
the date. Raymond R. Neal, the
big left guard on the Wash.Jen
eleven last year. when he heard
that Wabash was an applicant went
to Murphy and made a plea for the
Hoosier school. It happens that
Neal went two years to Wabash
when he played football under Pete
Vaughn. He had a warm feeling
for his former school and was anx.
ious that they get a chance to show
in the East. He assured Murphy
that the Charlottesville team would
provide the right kind Of a gama
and he one that would be worth
going a long way to see.
Murphy was persuaded by Neal
10 place the Hoosiers and he Is de-
lighted now that the game was ar
ranged for he believes It will be
one OF the best on the card. In
fact, following the hard Lafayetts
game of last Saturday. there Is
some danger that the Indianans
may prove a trifle too strong fer
the Presidents who must meet Pitt
a week later. Wabash has not had
Its goal line crossed yet although
II was once beaten. Butler College
defeated Vaughn's men 8 to Z In a
spectacular game on October 2S.
Wabash had much the stronger
team and ploughed its way along
for touchdown. Butler kicked
three field goals after being hell
outside dangerous territory
throughout the contest. Wash.Jeft
scouts who saw that game asse::.
that 1t was a tough blow for Wa.
bash to lose the contest which was
played at Indianapolis.

PUNTS AND
$: PASSES 8:

At Pitt
That tho Pitt.Penn football
game at Franklin Field, Philadel-
phia, on Saturday will be one, Of
the most grueatng hard-fought
contests Of the entire colleg ate
season is the opinion Of experts,
who have been watching grIdiron
affairs closely.
That the Panthers possess the
ability to flight" to a speculative
degree has been demonstrated in
every game they have played, and
never more wildly than in the
two contests they lost to Lafayette
and West Virk' mia.
In both these battles the Warn
er.tes struggled desperately to
ward off an adverse decision and
although they wIre unsuccessful,
their aggressiyeness and never
say.die spirit robbed the outcome
Of the bitterness which otherwise
would have been in evidence.
The quakers are also good fight
ers. Those who nave seen the
Heismanites N action this fall
say they never know when they
are licked. They do not boast OF
a clean slate. but they have given
their best in every game and have
proved themselves excellent sol.
diers, taking punishment without
complaint, and always coming
back for more.
Previous clashes between the
big universities Of the eastern and
western ends o. the Keystone
state have always been BIT
terly contested and this years is
likely to be no exception.
Just now Old Tenn Is desperate,
even more SO than Pitt. The
Quakers are smartlng under the
unexpected setback they received
last Saturday at the hands Of tho
Alabama eleven, which thqy ex-
pected to down rather easily. Tn.
are hunting for a victim ana Pitt
is in their way. They can be de-
pendeded upon to put everything
they have into their gang with
the Warnerites.

Trimming the Trees

There may be some difference of opinion as
to who is to trim the beautiful trees that line the
streets, of this city,. but there is unaninity re-
garding the necessity of this operation.
So Nothing has done more, to beautify our
streets and to give to the thoroughfares pleas
ing and inviting appearance than the stately
trees which adorn' them. Many of them, how
ever, are sadly in need of attention. Dead
branches should be cut out, and overhanging
limbs that inconvenience the pedestrian in rainy
weather should be Topped off.
Concerted action to bring this about includ-
ing also the removal of number of dead or sick
trees, viii be an Improvement to many streets.
Owners Of property could assist materially in
this work by doing little of it themselves. A
symmetrical tree, with no dead wood in it, and
no branches to sweep the faces of pedestrians,
improves the appearancetof premise immensely.
And while the householder is looking after
this detaiI.'he should not overlook the hedges,
bushes and shrubs about his home. A little at
tention devoted to them will add measurably to
the general improvement of the appearance of
his home - a ~

Catching Automobile Thieves

The chance arrest of Richmond man in Day.
ton, Ohio, where he is held on charge of stealing
automobiles, led to the discovery of ring re-
sponsible for many of the thefts reported here
in the last months.
similar arrest last summer broke up gang
which was operating between Richmond and
Connersville. Intelligent and quick work by the
police authorities of Richmond, Dayton and Con-
nersville brought results in both cases.
The Richmond police have been active in their
campaign against automobile thefts, which is
evidenced by the Dayton incident, and others
which preceded it.
Speed in detecting offenders and quick action
in the courts will soon end the practice of steal
ing this form of property. The police not only
of Richmond but of all the cities of the United
States were baffled for the last two or three
years by the operations of professional automo-
bile thieves
This was due to the fact that the thieves
were taking advantage of modern methods to
escape. It took some time for the police to be-
come so proficiently' organized that they could
cope with this new form of criminality. Appar
emily the police organization is beginning to
function with precision now, here and elsewhere.

GLIDING the help of garage owners, is bringing

will be broken up, as was horse stealing so and

Musings for the Evening

If there is one thing more than an
other that we hate to see, it is a house
all mussed up by burglars. They have
a very unpleasant habit of pulling open
bureau drawers and scattering the con-
tents about recklessly and tearing up
the carpets in search of hidden treas
ure. We wish to offer any burglars
who visit our domicile the following
hints: H-t
Our genuine imitation pearl shirt
studs, which cost thirty-nine cents five
years ago, are still in the dress shirt,

If the burglar can get hem out of the
shirt he can do better than we can,
