The only way to stop bootleg

pass a law making 1t a peniten-

the dealer or manufacturer. The
man that buys a quart or gallon

A Terrible Warning

The disastrous fire which was

four scores of people who were in

cities to have a banquet and get

speeches were in order. The chair
man called on a prominent citi-
zen of Minneapolis, who in very
forcible manner eulogized the twin
cities, their resources. their ad-
vantages, and the pleasure of liv-
ing in the united city.
When he had finished, gentle
man from St. Paul arose and stat
ed that there was just one ques-

shall we name the united city,"
The gentleman from Mime

able thinking, said: II would name

There Is no hesitation here in adj
hitting that Syracuse has great
machine this fall A year ago.
Chick Meehan's eleven held Penn
State to no-score tie gamei in New
York, and this season Syracuse
boasts of a veteran combination.
Penn State is gradually acquiring
the experience needed in big games.
but experience gained in this
fashion usually proves costly while
it Is being absorbed.
The physical condition of the
Nittany Lions will be a most inn
portant factor in next weeks game.
and Trainer Nate Cartmell will be
unable to ascertain this bit Of In
formation until tomorrow after the
team reaches State College on the
return trip from New York. Mike
Palm, the flashy quarterback, was
laid up most of this week, and his
ability to start against Syracuse viii
be another factor in Penn States
chances for q successful invasion OF
the Salt City.
On paper, Penn State chances
do not appear very bright. The
long trip, the limitation of prac-
tice, the poor physical condition
Of several stars, and the fact
that 1t viii be . green team
against q veteran aggregation,
all these things are damaging to
blue and white hopes. For the
third time this season, Penn

underdog, and on its home field
Syracuse should surely win.
But ethere still remains that ia. /

Penn State also has Mike Palm,
and il he is in shape to play at
his best he viii not need to take

Then there is Ray Johnston, the
big sophomore halfback who was
kept out of the Navy game by in
turies. He will probably be ready
for the game with the Orange, and
II he is, Wilson will have a most
capable running mate.
Charley Light. the best punter
Penn State has had in a number of
years, rounds out the backfield.
To face the veteran Syracuse
ends, Penn State will also trot out
q pair of experienced wingnen.
Hap Frank and Ted Artelt, the
latter probably the biggest end in
the country, are the boys who will
be depended upon to cover Lights
punts and to stop Bowman, Syracuse
