Slaves Caught Changing Masters.
Quite stir has suddenly arisen in
Lincoln, Nebraska because a dozen
Russian families were caught in the
act Of beating 1t" for the beet fields
1t seems that this particular Russian
group go every year and contract with
farmers, engaged in the beet raising
industry, for from fifteen to fifty acres
per family and stay until along in
October or November, the children
leaving school before the term is out
and getting in from a month to two
months late.
The dozen families were rounded up
and fined one hundred dollars each
for violation of the compulsory educa-
ton law This, of course, was a joke
apparently on the part of the judge,
whose name is Frost. He RENTED
the fines.
One of the heads of a family put it
up to the Lincoln folks-"Can Lincoln
give us jobs?" OF course Lincoln
cannot, and neither can Omaha, where
whole train loads are being shipped
out like so much live stock, every day.
Why They Wanted to Hold Them.
In an interview with Miss M. A.
Sadler, Of Omaha, Nebr., who runs an
employment agency, 1 learned that
there are some economic reasons why
some folks, at least, want to keep the
Russians from leaving the state. Altho
there are thousands unemployed, still
it is not wise to let too many go and
thus thin out the working class pop
ulation. Hungry people outside. the
packing house gates helps to hold
down those inside the gates from
demanding living wages.
Then there are beet sugar compan-
les, in the state that want them to
stay and take care of the crops here
and along next summer, if there is a
crop. the wheat farmers will want
harvest hands. And of course a big
reason for the battle over these fam
lilies is that they are trained beet
raisers, having done the same kind of
work in Russia and also seem quite
adept at raising large families. Like
in cotton districts the larger families
the better Neither are they adverse
to long hours and walking on their
knees regardless of weather.
Comrades to the Hoe.
Russians and Mexicans are Com
radoc n tho Hoe TTpdor tbo n1or
these people worked for about thirty
five cents a day and of course in Me-
xico the wages are equally as low, if
not less.
So when say family of seven, gets
a thousand dollars for seven months
work, shack rent, transportation, with
household goods, to the place Of en-
ployment, with a little garden spot
and pasture for a COW free, it is an
inducement to escape the dirty streets
and vile smelling industrial centers
of the big cities, to the wide open
spaces" of a beet field of Colorado,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa or Neb-
raska.
Long Hours.
OF course the hours during the work
periods run around fifteen per day, but
what of that when you have a two
room shack about ten by fifteen feet,
(even with windows in it, and. plenty
of fresh air and sunshine? And then
when there is no work to do, the sur
rounding farmers will give some more
long days to work in the potatoes, the
wheat and the MELONS at about nine
dollars a week.

AS FORWARD
,PASSERS
Maryland Will Be on Alert
for Trick Plays
Saturday

Maryland's football players will
need be on the alert in the football
game with North Carolina in the
Baltimore Stadium Saturday.
I Bin Fetzer, head coach, and his
BROTHER, Bob, who Is athletic di.
rector and assistant mentor. are
noted for sprinsing unusual forward
passes and freak plays, and Satur.
days contest lie not likely to be
an exception to the rule.
In the opinion of Curly Byrd,
coach Of the Maryland team, the
exhibition of forward passing that
was put on by the Tar Heels when
they defeated the Old Liners, IS
to Z, at Oriole Park in 1921, was
one of the finest displays of the
serial attack ever presented on an
American gridiron.
While it is certain that Carolina
has no such combination as Lowe
and Johnston, whom 1t presented
in the thrilling battle five years
ago, 1t has more than the average
number of men who are proficient
in the passing game. So many, in
fact, that Byrd and his charges

line all through the contest.
Carolina has the type of back
field men that makes an effective
offense possible. Not only are the
ball warriors Of plenty of heft to
smash the line and rush off end
and tackle. but among the six
really high-clasS backs that the Tar
Heels possess are excellent punters,
drOp-kic1 srs and passers. 1t is the
kind Of a combination that needs
an exceptionally intelligent defense
to check.
However, Maryland will ask no
odds of the Carolina team as to
passing and a fast running attack.
The Old Liners, though, will be
somewhat at a disadvantage In that
with the exception Of Linkous they
have no ball carrier of heft. This
"telegraphs" pretty much who is
going to carry the ball when a
yard or two IL needed.
Maryland put In It's last hard
ticks for the battle yesterday when
il staged a lengthy scrimnage with
the George Washington University
nlayera at College Park.

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-Bob Fol-
well, coach of the New York Giants
has released Jim Thorpe, the ia
NOUS Indian athlete. In a state
ment explaining his action, Folwell
said that Thorpe had been seriously
handicapped by weak right knee
since joining the Giants three weeks
ago and that it became necessary to
let the veteran Ind an go because
of the National Football League
rule that limits each team to sixteen
players.
I'VE thought Jim had a lot OF
good football left left" said Fol
well, "but he has been troubled with
a bad knee for three weeks. We re-
GREETED releasing him. but because
of our small player limit we must
have players who can produce. 1t
is our aim to give New York a win
ming team, and every regular must
show results on the field no matter
what his reputation may have been
before coming with U.s."

ANNAPOLIS, Oct. 29.-With the
cheers of their fellow midshipmen
ringing in their ears the Naval
Academy football players left
Annapolis today on the first lap
of their trip to Ann Arbor where
the University Of Michigan will be
encountered Saturday.
The party consisted Of thirty
seven players, coaches and attend
ants and was under charge of
Lieutenant Commander Frank
Slingluff with Head Coach Jack
owsley having direct charge Of the
players.
The players are in fine physical
conditic and equally fine spirits
and feel their responsible ity as the
representatives of eastern football
against the strongest team in the
middle west.
Head Coach Owsley said that the
line up would be the same as that
which started the Princeton game
with the possible substitution OF
Hoerner for Osburn at center. This
line Is, left end. Hardwick; left
tackle, Wickhorst; left guard, Lentz
(captain); center, Osburn or Hoerner;
right guard, Edwards; right tackle,
Eddy; right end, Bernet; quarter
hack. Hamilton; left half back,
Rlippin; right half back, Banks; full
back, Shapley.
Navy people are confident that
the team will go stronger, than IN
