A succession of passes enabled us to carry the ball to Rutgers 40-yard line and then came the great play of the battle-that vital pass to Heyman.

McCreight Substituting for Fleming at right half), Young (full- back) and Spiegel blocked off the Rut- gers sends and backs as they charged in from both sides. Then, with Hey man free, except for the defensive quarterback, Goodwin hurled the ball, deliberately aiming it over Heyman's head so that he would get it on Rut- gers 25-yard line.
 So much for the pass, which prom 1sed at least measurable advance, Its brilliance speedily was dulled by a more unusual and more scintillating de velopment.

 In flash of unadulterated genius the Washington and Jefferson end per- formed one of the greatest feats ever seen on gridiron. Running at full speed he leaped into the air, batted the descending ball with his arm so that It described an arc over Starr's head, lodged around that surprised person. extended one hand and just caught the pigskin as it dropped earthwa rd With an open field before him he then ran twenty yards to a touchdown, al- though Scarr, whirling after him, made partial tackle near the goal line.
 No player ever got a greater ovation than the crowd accorded Heyman after that play. He deserved it. He had won the game for us, because Rutgers. rallying in the closing minutes, crossed our goal line once more. The final score was 20 to 13.
 The play that produced the winning pass, reinforced by Heyman's quick. thinking feat, constituted football of the very highest order. I've never seen any thing more exciting

AMERICAN RACE
 ENDS TUESDAY Nothing Short Of Base ball Miracle Can Dust
 Senators

Now that the National League pennant York Giants for the fourth consecutive time, interest in the battle between the Senators and Yankees for the Amer ican league leadership will occupy the enthusiastic attention of sport follow CTS who are witnessing the most spec tacular pennant races in the history of Major league baseball.
 The National league season winds up Monday. Second place already has been virtually assured for the Brooklyn Dodgers who until Saturday had a slight chance of taking the leadership from the Giants. Third place will un- doubtedly go to the Pittsburg Pirates who no longer are in a position to eject the Dodgers.
 . Ends Tuesday
 The American league race, however, will end Tuesday. The Washington Senators are about to win their first pennant in all the long history of the club. With only two more games to play, and two full games separating them from the second-place Tanks, nothing short of baseball miracle can deprive them of an opportunity to battle the Giants in the world series. The best the Yankees can get now is a tie. A tie seems highly. improbable, for only two Washington defeats and remaining games with the fragile Bos- about The Senators are playing their remaining games with hte fragile Bos- ton Red Sox, while the Tanks are forced to meet stiffer opposition with the more able Philadelphia Athletics.

 For four afternoons next week Head Coach Earle Neale will drill his men with the hope that they may be able to make as good showing as did the team of 1915, which kept Harvard from crossing it's goal line, but lost by three drop kicks, to 0, the only defeat of the season. This team won from Yale 10 to o
 Rough places that developed in the opening contest Saturday with Hamp- den-Sidney will have to be ironed out, and it is probable that the lineup of the Virginians may be revised during the week. Some of the men did not show up as well as had been expected and may have to give way to others who were on the second team last week.

OLE MISS CLAN
 HARD AT WORK
Coach Barnard Rounding Men In Shape For
 Opener

UNIVERSITY, Miss, Sept. 2S.- Especial. )-While other schools of the south initiated their 1924 grid sea. son Saturday, the University of Missis. sippi squad continued with it's work of preparation for the heavy schedule which faces it this season. The Red and Blue will swing into action a week from Saturday when the Jonesboro Az gies will be met on the Ole Miss cam pus.
 As no scheduled game was on the books for Saturday, the Ole Miss mentor has been able to give his men a tough week of practice with no letup for an oponent at the end of the six day training period. The longest and hardest scrimmages of the season have been staged by the varsity during the past week. With only one or two light days between for rest, the entire time has been spent in the toughest kind of gridiron activity.
 Varsity and scrubs tied up in a game Wednesday that brought fur flying in all directions. Both sides plunged and tugged with all the enthusiasm that ac- companies a regular game. Fans got their best chance to size up the Red and Blue and the impression given waS not unfavorable.
 As the early season training draws to a close and the playing season crowds on it's heels, the varsity is using much more difficult plays. The type of football now being used suggests the opening of the season, and the entire squad is working hard to get ready foi the opener.
 Backfield Coach Vinsel is working overtime with his offensive, and the backfield is showing up to advantage under his system. Varsity backfield candidates have shown marked ability at advancing the ball in the scrimmages of the week that closed Saturday. Nice runs were made by the first string men in the scrimmage Friday.

Planning for the Future

The city planning commission has
recommended the establishment of
10-foot building line on several of the
main traffic thoroughfares OF Atlanta,
with view to their being eventually
widened to a minimum of 80 feet.
Atlanta has entirely outgrown its
streets.
With only a very few exceptions,
the streets and avenues Of this city
are hopelessly inadequate to meet the
traffic demands made upon them
which demand u annually increasins
at rate commensurate with the rapid
growth of the city and the even more
rapid development Of the motor vehicle
industry.
Commending the street widening
plan, Robert 81. Whitten, consultant
to the planning commission, said that
the effect Of, the plans recommended.
when carried out, will be to ''increass
trafiic efficiency three or four times"
and the widened thoroughfares could
easily bear twice their present amount
of traffic at a speed two or three
times In excess Of the average under
existing conditions"

Colors Attract Buyers

You may pack pills in a pale blue
wrapper, but if you sell chocolates the
best colors for the covers or boxes are
red, orange, or bright yellow. A good
rich brown is not to be despised. but
n green or Il blue is useless.
Indeed, these colors will, actually
deter purchaser, even though the
contents OF the package are of the
highest standard.
Manufacturers are only just begin
ming to realize the Importance sl
colors in the sale of theiI wares Red
and orange are warm colors; they ex-
cite enthusiasm.
Green Is an excellent color for the
walls of room; so is pale primrose.
These are soft, restful colors, and good
for the eyes. You do not want wall
which constantly attracts the eyes, but
you do want warm, bright, striking
colors to attract purchasers to goods
displayed In shop windows.
Notice, too, the matter of books
how many are bound in red and how
brilliant are the wrappers in which
most are shown nowadays. The sales
man who studies colors and who un-
derstands them is the one who sue

Wisnsbaso Indians Like
to Wear Fancy Clothes

to their dress. but at all times we
find both men and women combing
their hair straight back, parted in

Thomas Anderson, who spent q winter
trading with them on the Rock river
in 1902, said that they were the most

French came they added blankets to

colors for the summer.
In the governors reception room in
the state capitol at Madison, Wis, the
surrender Of the noted Chief Red Bird,
which ended the Winnebago war in
1926, is cleverly depicted, Red Bird,
the prisoner, is pictured as having one

clothed in Yankton suit of dressed
elkskin, perfectly white and as soft
as kid glove. 1t consisted of a

HENRY KITCHELL
WEBSTER

Like 70 many Of Americas big
authors. Henry Kitchell Webster
began writing at an early age. His
first work brought forth stories of
mystery-thrillers; he specialized In
plot.
Then he turned from that form
Of fiction to material with more
substance. For one Of the leading
magazines he Travelled In tho trop-
les and wrote articles. not purely
for local color, but studies of the
life with a sociological background.
Later came his novels with their
portrayals of real people and real
problems. showing the power of
Mr.. Webster's mental equipment,
for he is a widely cultivated person
with knowledge of the drama,
music and literature. He speaks
with authority on all Of these sub
jects.

thors who takes long time at his
writing. and the story that follows,

SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT

Denver, March 16.-The condition Of

U. 8. Division of Crop and Livestock
Estimates. The condition on March l
averages SO per cent of normal, COM

the northern states have opened up
during February and are permitting
more grazing.
