Another soldier the vice presi-

al Guard, whose father, William
H. Van VIE, now dead, had served
under Rufus Dawes.
The pageant took place in the
evening. It opened with an Ind

ed the arrival Of more settlers with
their prairie schooner and other
accoutrements. The next scene
showed an old fashioned country

Ministers Say Secret of
 Carefree Life Is God

Chicago, Oct. Pl--The secret of a careiroe lifc Is 10 put 1t in limo with Gods purposes, declared pr, Henry Howard of Melbourne. Aus tralia, in an address on Don't Worry" opening the nineteenth season of the Sunday Evening club,
 "Chrsts cure for a worried life is explained in His words Seek ye first the Kingdom Of God and His righteousness and all these things (what you eat and drink and wear) shall be added 10 you," Dr, Howard sUid, "ENcryonc who has stood up to life has felt it's worry stress and strain, But the way out from worry does mol lie along the line of escape from work.
 "The birds and flowers 10 which Christ referred as Carefroc, are among tho busiest of Gods crea- lures. The work translated toil' does not mean work hut work plus worry.

Gridiron Strategy
Study Play of Opponents
(BY CHARLES BERRY)


 (Lafayette-All-America End, l92A
 Most essential 10 successful end play is a close study of your op- ponent.
 Since the opposing tackle Is the player who covers the end, that player must carefully size up the methods of the tackle who Is ar rayed against him.
 This player may play high or low, close or wide. Tackles who play wide, as a rule, play high. The tackle who plays close, usually seeks to upset the play by getting the start on the end.
 An end has little to fear of the tackle who plays high and wide. All he need do to such a tackle is 10 check inside, hit him high and hold him momentarily. Such a method will invariably put him out of the play.
 Coaches, however are getting away from the system of having the tackle play high and wide. The tackle who plays low and close is q much more difficult player to fathom,
 The tackle who plays low and close makes far more trouble for an end. He constantly keeps the end guessing as to whether he is coming inside or outside,
 Proper use of the hands is a great asset to an end. As a matter of fact he must constantly make use of his hands to break up various plays
 On the defense the end should always have his hands in front of him and also seek to have his legs far apart.
 Legitimate use of the hands pre- vents the opposition from putting him out of the play. With the legs far apart it is far more difficult for an lnterferer to topple over a player than if the feet were close together Always try your best to get the first man you meet.

WESLEYAN COACHES
 HAVE HARD TASKS
Trying to Mould Team to Give
 Columbia a Rub

Nnddletown, Oct s Rl-Wesleyan football coaches are directing their efforts this week toward the develop ment of a heavier line and faster backtield to put into the game Sat urday against Columbia university. The return to the lineup of Holden, 21O pound right tackle. after several weeks of illness. and few more shifts give promise of achieving these results.
 As Columbia will put on the field a somewhat heavier line than the Cardinal and Black, Wesleyan is ex- pected to resort to open play with a few choice deceptions and the best possible kicking.
 Dunn, a veteran and almost as heavy as Holden, is again back with the regulars and will be at center. Briggs seems to be the choice for right guard, with Brooks at left guard. Captain Phillips holds down left tackle. Steele and Piper, ends, give the team a fleet pair of skillful forward pass receivers.
 In the backfleld, Bittenbender has virtually replaced the veteran Wiel- land at quarterback, Cashman and Martin will start at halfback posi- tions, while Boyd's defensive powers have made him first choice for full back. Douglass and Nivling, re- serve halfbacks, and Lester, hard line hitting fullback, give the team excellent replacement material foI the backfleld.
 Holden is first choice for bunting as his distances are greater, although Phillips is the steadier of the two The former is also developing req ability in hurling the forward pass Martin is the best drop kicker, while Philips eXCels in placements.
 Wesleyan thus has trio of goot lNckers on whom to rely
 A majority of the undergraduate. will probably accompany the clever on the annual New York trip ant the game will attract hundreds O. the greater New York alumni.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Oct. 8 Pl- Scalpers, always present, always prosecuted. yet usually prospering, have experienced some reverses in the handling of world series tickets. The cry of 'sell out" became so widespread for the first game that many remained away and at game time there were few tickets to be found downtown.
 Stanley Harris and Eddie Moore, rival second hasomon who are play ing with swollen digits, had little to do in the opening contest, neither scored hit and they handled only three chances between them.
