receiving end of any play. Zuppke has given Grange another threat. He now passes as we'll as he receives the ball.
 Zuppke Shifts Tactics
 Early in the Nebraska game, the heavy line of that team succeeded in breaking through the lighter Illi- nois forwards time after time, throwing Grange for a loss. Then it was that zuppke shifted his tactics. Grange instead of car rying the ball began to toss long forward passes. A number Of them were completed.
 This scheme caused the secondary defense of Nebraska to filter back to stop the passes.
 With the secondary defense back and with Nebraska convinced that Grange was no longer dangerous as ball-carrier, Illinois went back to Grange.
 In quick succession he reeled oft several long runs, Nebraska being entirely unprepared for such an of- tense.
 Literally Zuppke has developed a change of pace for Grange. It is his intention to keep the opposition guessing. Having them in that frame of mind there Is always a chance that Grange may get away for long run.
 Stop Grange.
 It's a great idea if properly exc cuted.
 However there is always chance that some other Illinois player will get away while concentrating on Grange.
 Incidentally it's going to be a tough job to stop the same Mir Grange. Ask Michigan.

The New Britain High school football team won 14 to victory over the Ranger Athletic club yes terday afternoon after school at Memorial field. The Rangers offered tough opposition but were not capable of checking the onslaught of the fast High school backs with their stock of well executed trick plays. The High school eleven had the ball in their possession the greater part of the time as the Rangers forfeited it by fumbles and poorly directed passes. The touch- downs were made by Gripp and Neipp, sharing the laurels with Zehrer, Belser and O'Brien and the other backfield men who played with their customary skill and pep. The line men had the toughest job as their opponents were older and heavier. The lineup was as follows: High School Ranger A. c. McCarthy-Lacava- Westerman- Gourson ............. Caspero

PASSING OF GRID
 STARS IS SERIOUS
Coaches Then Up Against It to
 Build Team

It is known fact that one star ball player often makes a champion ship club out Of an ordinary team.
 As a, concrete example, take the case of Roger Peckinpaugh of the Washington club.
 The remarkable play of the vet eran shortstop was one of the big reasons why Washington won the American League pennant.
 In the first two games of the world series he starred. Then a leg injury forced him from the lineup.
 An untried recruit essayed 10 fill Peckinpaughs place. He did the best he could but was far from a Peckinpaugh.
 Washington, that had played the Giants to a standstill in the first two games, looked Ike a different ball club with Peckinpaugh out of it.
 The air-tight infield that had dou- ble-played itself to a pennant looked more like sieve.

IS Which Are Of Interest to Younger Readers
His Double Nature.

Pancho was a bulldog with a dual
nature. Like DR.. Jekyll who was
sometimes Mr.. Hyde. he was one dog
when allowed to run in the yard,
chase tramps or cats and rove and
fight and bark as a dog should do,
and an entirely changed animal when
he came within range Of Mrs. Simp-
son, his mistress. Mrs. Simpson "en-
joyed poor health" She found it
necessary to take several varieties of
pills and capsules and mineral waters
at intervals during the day, and be-
cause she herself felt aches and pains
she imagined those around her were
ailing, too.
Now, Pancho was nothing il not
obliging, so he reasoned that if Mrs.
Simpson wanted him to be a sick
dog. he'd be one. She gave him much
better meals and more sympathy il he
shifted, moaned and whined. In fact,
Mrs. Simpson seemed to be disap-
pointed if he didn't show constant
signs of illness
Next door to Mrs. Simpson lived a
young man known to the neighbor-
hood as Mr.. Pat. He was a big, BLUM
tease who would laugh when Mrs.
Simpson told him how weak Pancho
was and would say that all the dog
needed was to be allowed to chew
regular bones instead of all that
dainty stuff she gave him and he
ought to be in some good fights in
stead of being perfumed and pam
pered like lap-dog. Mrs. Simpson
admired Mr.. Pat very much because
he was cheerful and handsome, but
she just couldn't agree with him
about her poor Pancho. But then she
didn't know that when the dog got
in friendly tussles with Mr.. Pat he
was vigorous. fighting demon.
So to Mr.. Pat Pancho was one dog,
to his owner a very different sort
One evening Mr.. Pat noticed that
Pancho's overgrown nails had been
playing havoc with Mrs. Simpson,
costly Persian rugs. why don't you
cut that old fellows nails?" the Wis.,
itor asked.
"Oh. no. cried Mrs. Simpson 1T
would hurt him SO! He's so frail, poor
BeaStle.
Mr.. Pat threw back his head and
laughed heartily. Then he picked up
some scissors and called, Here Pan
cho."
Pancho was up against it. He didn't
know whether to be the sick dog and
please his mistress or the real self
he was when he was with Mr.. Pat.
Whether the cutting hurt or not, he
knew he would't dare whine if Mr..
Pat looked him squarely in the eye.
Then he decided. No honest-to-good-
ness dog would stand for all this
molly-coddling. He walked right up
and lifted his paw.
why, Pancho isn't growing at
ALL" marveled Mrs Simpson. Then
she sighed. But I've taken such good
care of him he must be gradually
improving"
Mr.. Pat just went on cutting and
didn't say anything.

straight, scant, belted frock of

trimmed around the abbreviated
sleeves and at the collar and veStee
with little frills of narrow Valen-
ciennes lace. Seemingly very fra
gile, chiffon and georgette, in such
rather subdued tones, are really
excellently adapted to city wear in
summer. With this ecru and brown
frock nude stockings and gloves are
worn with brown satin pumps. The

exactly the ecru of the chiffon.
A wide-brimmed brown hat trim
med only with ribbon bound around
the crowd and tied at the side back
is worn-a frank admission that a
summer sun must sometimes call
halt on the mode of the very small
hat. Oddly enough many women
choose the -brimmed hat for
town wear because they dispense
with a parasol when in town, while
in the country when a gay parasol
is quite in the picture the hat brim
may be as narrow as you choose.
The second smartly dressed woman
up from her country place for the
day chooses a frock of navy blue
chiffon, and you may be surprised to
know that she wears it over a salmon
slip. This frock. like the brown and
ecru, one, owes much of it's ap-
propriateness to it's simplicity of line

women in resorts outside Paris find
pleasure in following, the only time
when one can safely indulge ones

How to Make a 'Wlnd Wagon

If you don't live near water, and
even il you do, you can get lot Of
fun out Of making land sailboat,
or wind wagon" which will take
you scooting along the sidewalk
when stiff breeze is blowing. You
can learn a lot about seamanship,
too. by experimenting with your sails
to adjust them correctly in the wind,
and managing the steering against
the gusts of wind, which would be
squalls" at sea
In some towns these wind wagons
are so popular that city-wide races
are held in which all boys compete.
Winning such a race demands care
in making the wind wagon and skill
in sailing it.
The necessary things to make this
speeder are four large wheels, a
couple Of axles and a few pieces
of board. When these are thrown
together. a sheet and a pole for the
sail will be necessary. In putting
this wagon together, make it as light
as possible, so that it will move
faster in the wind. All that is neces-
sary is just a skeleton frame to hold
the wheels together and provide a
place for you to sit and q place in
which the mast can be erected.
Make >the wagon about four feet
long, eighteen inches wide. and put
the largest and liEhtest wheels on II
you can get.
also advise that you make the
two rear wheels the steering wheels
instead Of using the front wheels

do.
