Republican leadership in the House
will endeavor to keep the new tax

cut, the new Republican floor leader,
says he will seek to obtain the united
support Of House leaders for the bill
now being drafted by the committee,
to ass ure its early passage by that
body. To insure action on it there
before Christmas. he plans to consult
with Representative Garrett of Ten
nessee, the Democratic leader. on n
program for consideration of the bill.
Allowing a week for organization of
the House, Mr.. Tilson has tentatively
fixed December ii as the date for
taking up the bill. Whether it will
be considered advisable to bring it up
under rule restricting amendments,
has not been decided.
In working over details of the gen.

subcommittee gave further attention
today to the schedule of inheritance
tax rates. A tentative decision al
ready has been reached to make no
changes in present rates on estates
amounting to $450,0O0 or less. The
reduced schedule between that amount

20 per cent instead of the present 40

WORKERS
TO START CLEANUP

Tagging considerably because so
many people are out of town, the
Community Chest drive made fair
progress Friday. Saturday is to be
the big cleanup day but there is little
chance that the drive will be complet-
ed this week, as hoped, according to
officials.
Hundreds of travelling men and
other business men who spend the
week out of the city and return home
Friday night or Saturday, are ex-
pected to swell the fund thousands of
dollars. Special efforts are to be
made to see these men Saturday. In
some cases special solicitors have been
designated to call on travelling men
and complete re-check of the city
will be made Saturday to reach every
person who has not been called on.
1t is the hope of drive officials
that the fund will at least reach near
the 100000 mark by Saturday night.
However, the drive is to be continued
until the entire budget is raised. The
last is generally the hardest because
practically all Of the larger donations
come in among the first and the
smaller ones often come last.

IN FIVE
GREAT GRID
STRUGGLES

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-R-Five
great struggles between individuals
who have attained fame on Eastern
football fields will draw the cheers OF
thousands this Saturday. At the same
time, one contest, the Iale-Prince-
ton game at New Haven, is expected to
be clash in which machines of
great power will be dominating forces,
Overshadowing individual perform
ers.
Swede Oberlander, Dartmouth's
backfield marvel, who two years ago
played as a lineman, meets an excep-
tional foe in Five Yards" McCarty
of Chicago, a plunger, who has gained
his nickname through vicious ATTACKS
on opposing lines. Oberlander I'M
doubtedly is adept in more depart
ments of the game than McCarty,
but the mighty Chicagoan may break
through at any time and usually is
good for the last five yards TO a
touchdown.
TRYON VS.. CARR.
At Syracuse there is another great
individual performance in the max
ing, with Eddie Tryon, little half
back, who conquered Princeton, play
ing for Colgate, against Harlan Carr
of Syracuse. They are of the run
ming type, open field workers par ex-
cellence-dodging twisting mites to
whom long runs around the ends ana
through the tackles are comparatively
common.
Tryon also faces an old friend in
Shrimp" Foley of Syracuse, another
light and speedy back, who USED 20
play beside the Colgate captain in
the backfield of Suffield School IN
Connecticut.
KREUZ AND GUSTAFSON.
Al Kreuz, hero Of Pennsylvania s
victory over Yale this season, will be
pitted against the 195-pound Andy
Gustafson, fullback of Pittsburgh.
They are plungers who hold their feet
and do much of the kicking for their
teams, although it is reported that
Kreuz, as the result of injury, may
be unable to manipulate his left toe
on Saturday.

nell in the same manner with n long
sprint and ran back kickoff against
Johns Hopkins for a touchdown.
jackson Keefer of Brown, appear
ing against Harvard for the last time,
will find his mettle tested by the Grim
son captain, Dolph Cheek, who is re-
garded as a brilliant performer in a
season that has seen Harvard suffer
many reverses. Keefer recently scored
touchdown against Yale with 10
yard sprint from regular formation
and his ability in an open field kept
Dartmouth in doubt throughout three
periods.

A job that brings you into contact
with other people has advantages. An
analysis of the careers of our most
conspicuously successful business lead
ers reveals that most of them who
began at the very bottom had work
which gave them opportunity TO rub
shoulders with the people and to
learn human nature.
To know human nature has become
as important as to know books.
The corner grocery store, one finds
on delving into the life stories of big
men, has been particularly productive
of successful men. In some instances
employers spotted promising grocery
lads and differed them chance. In
other instances bright grocery clerks
went in search of wider opportunities
and succeeded in reaching the top.
Apparently. keen-minded grocery lads
get n valuable closeup, not only OF
business, but of human nature.

hind the counter.

IN DRILLS

HOUSTON, Nov. 13.-Coach Heis-
man of Rice Institute has his Blue
and Gray warriors all primed for the
tussle Saturday with the Aggies, and
nothing has been left out of the train
ing behind closed gates. The fresh
men, who have completed their foot
ball season, have been running Farm
err plays, as have the reserves, against
the varsity, and the grid mentor has
devoted a great deal of his time in
coaching his charges on these plays.
Heisman has not neglected the Of
fensive portion of the grid instruction
while he has been drilling the Owls
in defensive play. The Aggies offense
is not as strong as its great line and
for this reason the Owls have been
working to develop a punch in the
hope of crumbling the red-clad war
riors from College Station.
STRONG IN LINE.
CAPTAIN Heavy" Underwood, one
of the outstanding centers in the con-
ference, will lead the Owl attack
against the Cadets Saturday. Sam
Williams and Joe Heyck, the two light
but scrappy Owl guards will flank
the captain on both sides. The tackle
positions will be filled by Willie Wood
Hendricks and Big Bill McVey.
A valuable reserve tackle has been
developed by Coach Bedenk in At
wood Reynolds. Austin Hart will be
used as reserve center. Other re-
serves have been developed in Albert
Sauer, Camille Ulrich, Bob Tough
bridge and l.. DaCamara.
MURRAY OUT OF 1T.
George Murray, fullback, who de-
yeloped an infected leg on the trip
to Baton Rouge and who, it was
hoped. would be able to play in the
game Saturday, will be unable to play
for the rest of this season. 1t was
not known until wednesday that the
infection was caused from pus sur
rounding several broken bones in his
ankle. The Owls will be seriously
handicapped in the absence of the
lively fullback.
Heisman is working Calvin and
Hill at Murray's position. Murray
they will undoubtedly make a good
showing. -,
Joseph and Winston probably will
start at the ends. Appling, Mckin-
non and Grain can be used to ad-
vantage to fill in the flanks.
Hochui and Herting will start at
halfbacks with Ogg at quarter.
