 ming $50

The Howard college Rats defeated the Berry high boys at Berry field Friday afternoon to the tune of 55 to o.
 The Rats had everything their way from the beginning and put over three touchdowns in the first half. Webber, tt full for the Freshpen, scored one of the first touchdowns. Gibson, the Bull Pups right halfback, took the ball over for another and Rives, who was sent in at right half in Gibson's place, made 55-yard run for another touchdown.
 Billy Bancroft kicked goal after the touchdowns with all the steadiness and precision of an old college player. The former Junior Colonel star did not miss any of the three tries at goal in the first half and that period ended with the score q to 0.

Bancroft then went 17 yards for touchdown.
 Berry chose to receive and after a few plays attempted a forward pass which the Pullpups left halfback Wright, intercepted and carried 4J yards for a touchdown.

EAST TO OFFER FINE GRID CARD slct-f ---------- Notre Dame-Army And Yale-DartmOuth Are 141E
 Features

NEW YORK, Oct 17.-Football will come into its own on eastern egridirons tomorrow with an array of games at tracting not only exceptional interest but having a vital bearing on cham pionship hopes of many outstanding elevens.
 Seldom has this stage of the season witnessed a schedule including such not able battles as those between Yale and Dartmouth at New Haven, Harvard and Holy Cross at Cambridge, Army and Notre Dame at the Polo Grounds, Princeton and Navy at Palmer Stad- ium, and Pennsylvania and Columbia at Philadelphia.
 These five attractions alone, it IS estimated, will attract throngs of proba- bly q quarter of a million while close to 5OO.O0O persons althogether will wit ness the casts program which also in cludes many other promising skirm- ishes.
 NOtre Dame vs. Army
 Chief interest apparently is centered in the renewal of the Notre Dame Army feud which promises one of the closest and most sensational encounters these rivals have staged and the battle at the Yale Bowl where close to SO,OOO may see the Bulldogs attempt to check the powerful Dartmouth eleven.
 Notre Dame, which has won seven of it's ten encounters with the Army, brings a veteran, versatile combination to the annual field of battle. The Cadets, also have an experienced eleven and seem to have added much needed speed to their attack with the addition of Harry Wilson, former Penn State ace, and return to form of Tiny" Hewitt, ex-Pittsburg battering ram. Notre Dame is a slight favorite among critics but the West Pointers have an excellent chance to triumph over their rivals for the first time since 1916.
 Yale, minus most of the sensa tional Dogs of her unbeaten 1923 eleven, faces a formidable antagonist in the Green outfit. Dartmouth has been mopping up early season opponents.
 Dartmouth After Revenge
 These two have not met since 1900 but in the seven games they played up to that time the Green was unmerci- fully wallOped, failing to score a point in any of these contests and losing the first one, played exactly 40 years ago, by 113 to 0.
 Harvard, giving indications of old time Crimson supremacy, meets a sea- soned foe in Holy Cross but should triumph on the basis of early season form, while the other member of the ''big three" Princeton, is favored to take the measure of the Navy. The latter contest may be closely contested but it has lost much of its original significance because the Tigers were held 10 scoreless tie last week by Lehigh while the Navy was trounced by Marquette.
 Boston college goes out of its terri tory for what promises to be an inter esting tussle with Syracuse, a game which holds good share of upstate interest while Colgate invades the mid dlewest to meet Nebraska in one of the outstanding intersectional contests.

TIGER
 BEATS PARRISH

FAYETTE, Ala, Oct. 17.-(Spe- cial. )-The Fayette Tiger defeated the Parrish eleven on Kenney field today 2S to o. The game was decidedly in favor of the Fayette Tiger from be- ginning. The Fayette goal was never in danger, the Parrish team not get ting beyond the 3O-yard line. Parrish did not register but four first downs during the four quarters.
 It would be hard to pick out the stars of today's game without picking the whole team. Brannyon, Sims, Brown and Guyton showed with the line on defense. Killingsworth, Savage, Wright and Wilson showed we'll on de- fense.

WHAT TO DO WITH zR-3
PROBLEM FOR NAVY DEPT

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11-What to
do with the dirigible IRIS was a
question which today furrowed the
brows of grizzled admirals and rosy
ensigns throughout the navy depart
ment.
Occupying as she does. a dual iden-
tity of strictly commercial ship under
a strictly military jurisdiction, the
great air cruiser has proved a per-
picking problem TO those in charge.
Suggestions for her future activi-
ties have ranged from a north polar
expedition to operation as a mail
ship from Los Angeles to Honolulu,
but Secretary Wilbur said today no
decision had been made or might be
expected for several weeks.
So varied have been the proposals
even within the department that
Admiral Moffett, the navy air chief
today appointed a special board to
consider future operation of the ZR-
8 in the light of her capabilities as
shown on her transatlantic flight,
and of her theoretic performance
when inflated with helium.
DR.. Hugo Eckener,- head of the
Zeppelin Company. called at the de-
partment today TO say farewell to
Secretary Wilbur and other officers
and was at once invited into confer
ence on the subject of the cruiser S
use.

DAVIS To QUIT
THE CABINET.
Secretary of Labor to Retire
Coolidge Plans Trip
to Chicago

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-Secre-
tary Davis of the labor department
has informed President Coolidge he
wishes to retire from the cabinet
after March 4 next.
Mr.. Davis Is the only cabinet
member who has l.lcicated he de-
sires to retire, it was said officially
today at the White House.
Meanwhile it was said the Presi-
dent has given no consideration to
other possible changes in his cabinet
and has expressed the hope that Mr..
Davis would remain.
The vacancy caused by the death
of Secretary Wallace of the agricul-
tural department is to be filed short
~. The law requires the term of ar
acting secretary can run for only
thirty days. Mr.. Coolidge may ap-
point Acting Secretary Gore to the
cabinet post to serve until March 4
however, when he becomes governor
of West Virginia.
White House officials appear tc
take no stock in numerous reports
that the President might display 6
changed attitude now that the elec.
ion is over and he has been choser
to the chief magistracy in his OWL
right. Some of these reports havs
indicated that he might desire to ash
for the designations of some of th'
hold-oyer cabinet members in ordei
to make personal selections.
Nevertheless it is known that a
least one or two of those who nov
hold cabinet positions desire for on
reason or another to return to pri
vate life and it remains to be deter
mined whether Mr.. Coolidge can pre-
vail on them to stay in the goysrn
ment service.

dent Coolidge will leave here We'd
nesday, December for Chicago
where he will attend the national
livestock show. His departure will
be late in the afternoon. The plans
will enable the President to be here
for the opening of congress on Mon
day. December l. 1t is believed
probable that he will attend the
Army Navy football game in Balti-
more November %.
President Coolidge is not inclined
to hold an inaugural ball, although
it was said today at the White House
he had not given consideration yet TO
plans for Inauguration.
White House officials SAID the
president had made inquiry as to
whether he himself would have to at
tend an inaugural ball if one were
held, and thereafter his disinclina-
ton for such a function.
1t is the general expectation that
all of the inaugural plans will be
marked by simplicity and economy.
