other uncle by courtesy" also a ne

depicts SO fnimitably as relating to
a little white boy the fanciful doings

is a universal favorite, and all the
children are his nephews and nieces.

COLLEGE HEADS ATTACK BETS
 ON GAMES

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Nov. 10.-De- nouncing betting by students on foot ball games as, vicious attack on intercollegiate athletics, Michigan University authorities have started crusade to stamp out the practice. In statements issued to the press both President Marion Burton and Fielding H. Yost, director of inter- collegiate athletics, severely criti- cized the evil.
 There is TO occasion for discus sing the morals of betting. It is an attempt to get something for nothing and in the long run the world is not made up that way" said Prest- dent Burton. "There is occasion for. pointing out from an intensely prac- tical point of view that betting is shortsighted and a vicious attack on intercollegiate athletics
 "The student who bets on his team, thinking that thereby he is giving genuine loyalty to his university, lis deceiving himself. Betting breeds unjust criticism of the team, tends to shatter student morals and sub stitutes commercialism for sports manship. Let us play the game for the games sake"
 Students have no right to bet dads hard-earned money and then ihave to explain things to dad" said Hurry up" Yost.
 Usually they are not betting their own money and if they are they can't afford to lose it." said Yost. "As result if they lose they find themselves having to explain to Dad or having to go without things they should have Before they know it they are finding fault with the team, the coaches and everything from the waterboy to the president. And all of this because they lost few dol lars which they had no business bet ting.
 When players know that there are huge sums of money at stake they are apt to lose sight of the greater ideals for which they are playing. As result the game suf- fers."

mo FEAR OF COLD
WEATHER TONIGHT
OBSERVER STATES

There's no need to fear cold
weather tonight, E. E. Unger,
weather observer, said today, for
the snow this afternoon is only the
unsettled condition resulting from
the mixture of the cool and warm
areas coming from two directions.
The high pressure of area over
the central Rocky mountain region
which is coming this way will be
downed by the low pressure of area
which is coming from the east and
slightly from the northwest, Mr..
Unger said. The snow and unset
tied weather will pass over quickly,
and tonight will be little warmer.
The temperature tonight will be
between Is and 20 degrees above
zero. At o'clock this afternoon
it was % degrees above. Last night
was the third lowest temperature
this winter. The mercury went to
81 degrees. 1t was above the
morning of Dec. 25, and before then
at one time it was degrees.

ers for Murder of Harry

ers of South Moline township, for

Ter by administering a beating in

Gates that self-defense in one part

of the county.

NO DIRECT RULE
ON union PLAN
Reported Communication With At
torney General Not In Line
With Issue.

Some supervisors and residents
in South Rock Island township in
terested in the city-township plan
have received statement that a
communication from the office of
the Encouragement on this sub
ject says the law is constitutional.
The correspondence was with w.
A. Frewert, the Rock Island town
clerk.
ConStitutionality of the law was
not questioned before the board,
but doubt was expressed as to it's
application in the local situation
The Rock Island question hinges
upon whether or not a statue ap-
plicable to city, part of two or
more townships, also applies to a
city, that is all of one township and
part of another.
At a recent meeting of the board
the judiciary committee and that
on town and town accounts were in
structed to confer through the
states attorney with the attorney
generals office as to methods of
accomplishing the consolidation.
States Attorney Ben S. Bell today
said he had not been in conference
with the committees to obtain an
opinion in the issue.
