HOT SHOT OF COACH
COSTS w. & J. GAME
Sighting Remark by Neale
Caused Unexpected Defeat.
Warner Resented Statement That
Pittsburgh Was "Minor League"
Eleven and Read Riot Act to
Players Before Game.


One of the biggest football upsets
of the year was the overwhelming de-
feat Of w. & J. by Pitt, 10 to 0.
Early in the season Lafayette had
defeated Pitt, to 0. A month later
w. & ]. surprised the football world
by. trimming Lafayette, IA to Ii, in
one of the most sensational games Of
the year.
1t was only natural that Washing
ton & Jefferson should have entered
the game with Pitt strong favorite.
Those who saw the game say that
no eleven in the world could have
defeated Pitt that day. 1t was q
team Of supermen who ran over the
strong w. & J. eleven roughshod,
making it look like very ordinary
aggregation.
Here is the inside story of what
transpired to make Pitt an undefeat-
able eleven in the game with w. & J.
After w. & j. had defeated La
fayette, Coach Neale of that eleven
was one of the most discussed coaches
In the game. Every scribe sought an
interview.
1t seems a certain New York scribe
quoted Neale thusly:
II see you are not going to take
your team to California this fall"
NO" replied Neale; I'VE made
things too interesting for California
last season, so they have scheduled
Pittsburgh, minor league eleven, to
play out there"
The story was given wide circula-
tion. Naturally the coach Of Pitts
burgh read it, and failed to enthuse.
1t is customary for a football
coach to say a few words to his play
ers before they go on the field of
battle. Some of these gridiron talks
are classics. Just before the w. & J.
game Warner called the players to-
gether, and in a quiet manner read
the interview credited to the rival
coach. At the finish he said:
'Today's game will tell the tale.
Either / am a good coach and you
are great team, or Neale is right in
calling us bunch of bush leaguers."
The Pitt players went on the field
fighting mad. Without doubt
Neales interview, alleged or real, was
the deciding factor in that football
game

OUR FIRST Is YEARS CON-
sTROL OF TROPICAL ISLANDS

Trade of the United States with its
insular possessions in the first guar
ter century of our occupation totals
about 51a billion dollars against a
little more than one-half billion in the
rs years preceding our occupation.
1t was on July 7, 1898 that the
United States Congress adopted the
resolution annexing the Hawaiian Is
lands in accordance with the expressed
wishes of their people; on August IL
of the same year the protocol pro-
viding. for the cession of Porto Rico
to the United States was signed; and
on December 10 of that year was
signed the treaty with Spain ceding
the Philippines to the United States
Guam, formerly Spanish island, was
also occupied by the United States
in the same year, while the tiny Sam
oan island, Tutuiia, with the best har-
Dor in all the South Pacific, passed
completely under our control in 49,
80 after several years in which we
had cooperated with certain other
countries in the control of the Sam
oan group.
Thus the year of 1923 marks dis
tinctly our first quarter century of
these tropical island, with a popula-
ton of about IL millions. The re-
corl of our trale with thes islands
in the Is years since occupation is in
marked contrast with that of the
quarter century prior to our control,
while their total trade is also several
times as much since our occupation
as that of the preceding Is years. Our
total purchase of their products in
the past Is years has been $780,
100000 against $500, 000, 900 in the Is
years preceding our occupation, and
our sales to them $2,038 ,000, 900 a
gainst $134,OO0,0O0 in rs years prio,

The United States supplies a very
large proportion Of the imports Of
all these islanls, $50 of those of the
Philippines, and over 5000 of those Of
Porto Rico and Hawaii. We take a.
bout 500 of the exports of the Phil
ippines, 800 of those of Porto Rico
and $50 of those of the Hawaiian

Life Of Grid Coach

The life of the football
coach is none too long in any
one job. Coach Stage has been
on the job for about thigty
years. Yost has been head Of
football at Michigan for more
than a generation. Dan Nc
Guigan, a Yost pupil, has been
long the coach of Vanderbilt.
For nineteen years Mike Dona-
hue has developed fighting and
capable teams at Alabama Poly.
He is to leave there, not to quit
coaching, not because they don't
want him to remain, but because
he believes change of scene
will do him good.

The Outdoor Aerial
Should Be Grounded

With the coming Of summer weather,
all users Of radio receiving sets should
provide their aerials with a suitable
switch for grounding when not in use.
Any conductor Of electricity insulated
from the ground will, In certain kinds
Of weather, accumulate charge Of
static electricity and discharge into the
ground or any neutral body at the first
opportunity.
In times Of thunderstorms this charge
Is more severe and becomes real men,
ace to the receiving set II not properly
grounded. On the other hand, the
aerial, II leading to ground through q
switch, Is genuine protection to the
property.
An ordinary single-pole, double.
throw switch, Of size depending upon
the size of the aerial, should be placed
outside the building at the point where
the lead-in enters. The aerial Is con-
nected to the middle post Of the switch,
and the ground and receiving set to the
two outside posts, respectively. During
a storm, or when not In use. the switch
should then be left in the grounded po-
sition.-The Chiropractor and Clinical

Babies now cry for radio. The new

child, aged fourteen months, is already
fan. Mrs. Robert Barber Of Rensse-
laer. N. Y, writes as follows:
II wonder II 1t would interest you to

Very much discussion has been car
ried on as to the practicability of the
so-called reflex circui.--a circuit de-
signed, developed and patented In
April and November of 1917 by Marius
Latour, French radio engineer.
The circuit consists Of four tubes,
the first three aceIng as radio fre-
quency transformers, which are de-
signed for limited wave lengths, the
last tube acting as a detector. After
the rectiflcation Of the high frequency
oscillations the current is led back
to the primary winding of an audio
frequency transformer and thence to
high voltage and the f1lament
The secondary winding Of the trans
former is placed in the grid circuit of
the second tube, which consequently
amplifies the audlo frequency oscilla-
tions at the same time as the radio
frequency. The latter does not pass
through the secondary windings, but
Is shunted across fixed condenser Of
approximately .002 mfds. The audio
frequency currents are amplified by
the second tube and pass through the
primary winding of the second audio
frequency transformer. The secondary
winding of this transformer Is In the
grid circuit Of the third tube. This
tube also amplifies the audio freQuen-

cy currents which flow through the
telephones, which are included in the
plate circuit Of the third tube. Fixed
condensers are placed across both prl-
maries and both secondaries Of the
audlo frequency transformers to pre-
vent the windlngs from Interfering
with the high frequency oscillations
flowing simultaneously in the same cir
cult. This circuit is complex and
difficult to control due mostly to ca
pacity effects, etc. In lieu Of the

results were obtained. Great care
must be taken to prevent understage

as grid condensers and rectifying the
high frequency oscillations before they
reach the detector tube. This is COM
mon with many radio frequency sets
on the market today. Atlanta Journal
was heard In Toledo with this circuit
using an aerial, but from all indica-
tions the standard five-tube radio
audlo frequency circuit is preferred
where loop is practical. Another cir
cult along these lines Is now under
test using only three tubes and with a
few changes In wiring greater audi
bility has been obtained.

About Your License

Quite few amateurs have com
planned that they had to go through q
re-examination for a renewal Of their
operators license.
There are few points to consider
In this connection. First is to watch
the expiration date and the second Is
to get three amateurs to write that
your station was heard on the air
within the three months prior to your
application for renewal.
The license will then be renewed
without trouble, but II you walt until
it has expired an examination will be
necessary.
Also remember that you are never
notified about expirations so that you
must watch both your operating and
