Immediately after the ceremony the

las for the wedding breakfast, after
which the squad will be ready for to-
days game, the last in which McMil
lin will appear as a member of the
praying colonies aggregation.
The weather forecast for the con-
test was generally cloudy and cold.
The unbeaten record of Centre and its
powerful offense carry it into the
game a heavy favorite and Coach Mo
ran said he was confident of victory,
but admitted he looked for a hard
game.
The Texas Aggies altho heavily out
weighed also were confident. Coach
Bible said his squad was in high spir-
its and that while the public expected
the Farmers to play a defense contest,
it would adapt its style of play to con-
ditions that develop on the field.
The attendance was expected to eX-

The best wrestling bout Topeka has
seen yet this winter will be held at s
o'clock tonight in the city auditorium
with Stanley Rogers and Billy Ed

Five preliminary bouts are sched-
uled.
Edwards is given the edge by some
of the fans on tonight's bout, altho
as many enthusiasts are loud in their
praises of Rogers.
This man Rogers carries an air of
mystery about him that can't be pene-
trated by any ordinary conversation.
He isn't given to a lot of talking, but
his actions are fine.
At o'clock every morning, Rogers
can be found plugging around the half
mile track at fair grounds. Then he
breakfasts, waits an hour or two and
goes thru a lot of setting up exercises
at the Y. NJ c. A. His days are given
over to keeping fit, and his nights to
sleeping.
Edwards also has trained hard and
rigidly for the go tonight.
The Nebraska City man is in the
fittest condition of his career, accord
ing to his own statements.
Both men say think can beat
him"-and there you are.

football games. Centre college meets

BOX RING ACTIVE NOW
BY JACK vEIOCK.

New York, Jan. "A new and
hopeful year in sport is at hand
Nineteen twenty-five was officially
ushered in today and, according to
leaders in the sport world, no fresh
page on the calendar was ever turned
with brighter prospects.
The year just closed went down in
sporting annals as a red letter twelve
months. Many events of unusual
brilliance marked its passing. But
this will be an even greater year II we
are to take stock in predictions being
made for it.
Baseball men, with few exceptions,
look for a highly prosperous season
for the club owners and faster and
more interesting pennant races and
playing for the fans. President John
A. Heydler of the National league is
particularly optimistic.
Boxing, with a firmer grip since the
war than it has ever before enjoyed.
may be expected to produce some big
and interesting events.
Dempsey Wants Battle.
Champion Jack Dempsey is merely
awaiting the call to defend his title.
He will come east shortly to meet
Fred Fulton in a return bout at Madi-
son Square Garden. Promoter Tex
Richard today said Fulton is the only
heavyweight available at this time.

Tom Gibbons, a flop into the welter-
weight division by Benny Leonard, if
he satisfies himself on his ability to
travel in that company in his bout
with Pinkie Mitchell at Milwaukee this
afternoon, another shakeup or two in
the bantamweight class and a new
campaign for the lightweight title,
the boxing fan has plenty to look for
ward to.
Lawn tennis. with the Davis cup
matches to be played here once again;
golf with it's many big national fix
lures, and a promised invasion of for
eign stars; college athletics and foot
ball, rowing, racing, swimming and
all other sports that attract big fields

The ushering in of the new year
with the big intersectional football
game at Pasadena between California

Nineteen hundred and twenty-two
dawned auspiciously enough. What
with the wedding of "Bo" McMillin
and the changing and trading of play

AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY RANKS Hull.

Figures recently compiled by trade journal Oh
the East tend show that the American automotNe
industry is entitled .to3be regarded as the larseSt
enerprisesfn the world The value foE
IFS entire output for the year, including cars
tires replacement parts and accessories, 1t was est
mated would reach the staggering aggregate OF
Sg725 600 900 These figures exceed by one-thrd
the value ofthe output of the next largest industry
Tie refining of petroleum. two-thirds greater than
the value of the steel and iron output and are more
than double the value of all the cotton goods pro-
duced in the mills of this country.
These comparisons interesting they are, are
not as striking is the extent to which other
industries dependent upon the produc-
ton of automobiles for their prosperity. Thus, while
the refining of petroleum ranks next to the auto
motive production in value of product, about two
5hirds OF the petroleum produced is required for
motor propelled vehicles. In like the auto
rsbber more than one-third of Egyptian long staple
COTTON and nearly one-third of the plate glass
stunned in this country. 1t is also estimated that at
Least 13 per of the nations wage are
dependent upon the automotive industry for their
living.
The expansion, growth and much of the pros
perty of the agricultural industry in this country is
made possible by Developments in motor traction and
other automotive products. The industry has
aided in improving social life and been of the
greatest factors in promoting good roads throughout
the country.
The automotive industry has by any means
reached the limit of its growth. And it increases
in volume and variety it's larger development will be
reflected in greater growth in many other industries.

A DAY FOR THE NAVY.

The Navy League of the United States is foster
ing plans fer a Navy Day to be held ON Friday
October 27h ~and is asking that Americans generally
cooperate with it in carrying out the idea Nothing
is more worthy of commemoration than the services
tc the country Of the Navy. Not only has ii rentered
valiant service the nation but in the cause OF
humanity wherever Naval vessels have carried the
Stars and Stripes .ag
No branch of the nations service has brighter
tr; ditiops in its history nor do any of them. uphold
their traditions more worthily than does the Navy
Since the Revolutionary War days when the hmpudent
Yankee ceamen dared to challenge the might Of Great
Britain en- the high down through the WorH
War; when Yankee tars and the 'limeysl strafed the
Hun submarines, to the present day, the Navy has
been ready fer any call duty and met all tests
successfully ..
Mention Of naval heroes, John Paul JONES' Isaac
Hull, the two Perrys Farragut, Dewey, Schey, and
others brings to mind the Revolutionary War, the
War of 1872 the unlocking of Japans sealed doors,
Mobile Bay and the between the States, Manila
and Santiago The World War lacked the sensational
elements of a great naval battle the American
Navy took part in but the service it rendered
in convey duty, in anti-submarine warfare, none
the less vital to the and important
factor in final victory. M
In all of these wars great as was the part played
by the land forces of the United States, victory in
them was made possible largely by the. Navy An
agent both offense and defense in the, stress Of
it is a guarantsr of respected national rights and
stabilizer in peaceful periods. In itself no men
acng threat, it gives the weight of authority to
Americas voice when raised in the OF right
and justice either for herself oppressed peoples.
The Navy League proposes Navy Day that the
country celebrate the conservation to duty of the
personnel Of the present Navy the glorious services
rendered the nation by the Navy in the past -
This is suggestion that all Americans can chner+
