Major Griffith Sees Decline in
 GridirOn Game

Chicago, Oct. Is Rl-rhe decline of football. if professional football is too much encouraged, was pre- dicted by Major John l.. Grif- filth, athletic missioner Of the big ten, in an address prepared for delivery before a joint luncheon of Michigan and Wisconsin alumni Of Chicago yesterday,
 "An editorial the other day sug- gested that we needed professiona al football because the highly trained playrs who would compose the pro teams would emplify the finer points In the game to the end that more boys would play football" said Ma ior Griffith. "The editor further suggested that the reason why so many hoys took up baseball was partly because of the Influence of teh stars who demonstrated 10 the country boy how the game should be played.
 This sounds logical enough but the facts are that football is grow ing tremendously in favor, not only with the players. but also with the Spectators and baseball has fallen off fifty per cent in the last three years, as judged by player participants. These facts knock the editors the ory into a cooked hat.
 "There are approximately twelve million bows enrolled in the public schools of America, Baseball IS not looked upon aS an important schoo! game hv these young men and ln many Of these schools baseball IS not played at all. However. they consider it q great honor to play on their school football or basketball team. As result the colleges these days do not lack for good football material, there is probably more new good football material in inc con ference this fall than ever before in the history of these ten universities,
 From this it would seem that q sport can grow without the intlicnce of the professionals and ] would like to go on record as saying thai if the spoit becomes highly pro- fessionalizc1 as baseball, has, 21 years from now these beautiful sta diums that We are building will he no more useful than the ruined sta diums in Aries, Mines, Rome and Athens of'otbalI today IS so popn- lar that the universities cannot handle the crowds who want to see the games. Last spring, Mr. StagS at the University Of Chicago admit ted all spectators free to his base ball games. If any body thinks that it is necessary for us to profession- alize football in order to create player interest, lat lim ponder these facts.

fuses to border inquiry Into
 Senator Norbec's Activity
 Pierre, $. D.. Oct. 13 Rl--Attorney General B. r. Jones yesterday re- fused 10 meet the request of fede- ral grand jury for special investi- gation of Senators Peter Norbeck and W. H. McMaster to determine whether they were guilty of "crimi- nal collusion" with former treasurer A. w. Evert, of the credit board.
 Three investigations of South Dakota's s5O.000. 900 advent into a state system of farm loans, have in Mir, Jone's opinion in no way incrl- minated Senator's Norbeck and Me Master both of whom are former EoNernors. Accordingly he felt there was no cause for immediate addition Ial action.
 "1f further investigation does dis close anything of criminal nature against either senator" he said, they will be prosecuted to the full etcnt of the law"
 Mir. JoJnes, like Senator Norbcck. held that the grand jury request was political.
 Actions are pending in county and federal courts against IIwert. A Legislative Investigating committee reported that he had misapplied nearly half million dollars of farm loan funds to his own purposes and to bolster up the National Bank Of Commerce at Pierre. which failed when the farm loan system collapsed,

DIVER HIRED
TO MAKE NEW
INTAKE WORK
Fear Ice Will Carry Away
Cofferdam Causes Employ
ment Of .'Deep Sea" Help
TAXPAYERS FOOT COSTS
For More Than Year Issue
Over New Intake Well
Costs $4OO a Month

Another chapter was written thi.
week in the expensive intake to tn,
new waterworks department when {
diver was imported from the Twil
Cities to connect the intake pipes al
the bottom of the we'll in the river
between the sides of the cofferda nj
built by the Woodrich Construction
company. 1t has been impossible to
pump the water out of the cofferdam
where the intake pipes are to be
laid. With the ice about to 60 out
anytime now it has feared the whole
cofferdam would be swept away and
the work done to date of no value.
TO prevent such contingency, a
diver was put to work this week and
it is hoped to connect up the pipes
and test out the new intake which
has been a matter of controversy for
more than year, resulting in a
double charge for pumping amount
ing to on an average of $4OO a month
which must be made up by the tax
payer.
Under the present system the wa
ter is drawn in through the perfect
~ good old intake, into the perfectly
good old well and through the old
system into the new plant and there
again into the. reservoirs
through the Diesel engines which
were intended to perform the
whole operation.
Two winters have passed without
completing the intake. The city en-
gineers feel now that the intake will
be working soon. When the diver
gets the pipes "hooked" the intake
will be tested out.
Then the perfectly good intake and
the perfectly good we'll of the old
plant which would have served the
city for years to come will be aban-
doned-that is if the new intake
works.

Governor A. G. Sorle today plan
, ned to check over the totals of ap
preparation bills before completing
the signing or vetoing of many bills
passed within the last three days OF
the legislative session. o
The Governor last night said tha,
he was well satisfied with the work
of the legislature, and hoped that he
would not have to veto any bills
Asked if he would sign the four
bridge bills, the executive today said
that he had not decided. and would
not decide upon action on bills vet
to come to him until he had checked
up the total of the appropriations
made.
The four bridge bills provided for
appropriations to aid in building
bridges at Williston, Sanish, Fargo
and Des Lacs. Two years ago Gov
ernor Nestos vetoed appropriations
to aid in building bridges at Willis
ton and Fargo, and was censured
severely in the northwestern part of
the state. ....
A statute sets aside $13O,O0O of
the motor vehicle funds each year to
be used for aid in building of bridges
and cannot be used for any other
purpose. The appropriations for the
four bridges totals $4OO,OOO. Sup
porters of the bridges had figured
that with 100000 in the fund, and
$26O,O00 to be added in the next two
years, and chances that all four of
the bridges could not be completed
within three or four years, that there
was sufficient money coming into the
fund to meet state aid on all bridges.
The Governor said today that he
had not checked up the total of all
appropriations yet, as all bills had
not reached him.
The Governor said that there was
considerable harmony in the legisla-
ture, which he desired, that all things
were not done that might have been
done, but that on the whole he was
we'll pleased.
NOnpartisans held a meeting this
morning in their caucus room, at
tended by rs to 100 Leaguers. Roy
Frazier, vice-chairman of the state

mass convention for last night or
this morning, but many members of
the legislature left on an early morn
ing train. 1t was uncertain whether
the informal meeting this morning,
TO settle up affairs, would be turned
INTO a mass convention.

'loor leader in the House, was pre-
