KILLED ON WAY
HOME FROM DANCE
Otto Enright, Burlington
Lad, Killed Near New
Munster Last Night.
BROTHER ALSO HURT

Returning from a dance at New
Munster, Otto Enright, 10, was killed
and his brother, Walter Enright, was
seriously injured late Wednesday
night or early this morning when the
automobile in which they were riding
ran into the side of a moving freight
train at Bushnell Crossing, a mile
south of Burlington. There were no
eye witnesses Of the accident.
Motorists came upon the wrecked
car. They found the one brother dead
and the other so seriously injured that
he had to be hurried to a hospital al
Burlington. 1t is believed that he
will recover.
Had Attended Dance.
The two young men had attended q
dance held at New Munster on Wednes.
day evening and had left the dance
hall at comparatively early hour. Nc
report of the accident was made by
the members of the train crew and il
is thought probable that no member
of the crew realized that the car had
been side-swiped by the train anc
hurled into ditch.
The two brothers live in Burling-
ton. They were wellknown in the
western part of Kenosha county and
also in Kenosha.
Inasmuch as the accident happened
across the county line in Racine coun.
ty, the Racine coroner took charge.

is likely to find the path of football

The members Of the Illini were will

in their power, even though all the
glory went to Red" They sacrificed
their own prestige for that of Illinois,
and never murmured because their own

He has often said that himself in pleas

parent this year. aside from the mud,
how much "Red" missed the help Of
last years team, for until the Penn
game his brother Illini were not about
to give him the start he needed.
1t would be very different with the
pros. In the first place, the enormous
salary that Grange will get would be a
big cause of jealousy among his own
teammates. That's the reason most
of them are playing the game-the
salary. On top of that, many of the
men on the team would have reputa-
tons of their own. and if Red" play
cd in New York he wonld be among
men who had regulations made largely
in the East.
The pros "broke" the great Chick
Harley after he had left Ohio and
tried to play with them. They even
went so far in one game as to walk
off the field when he came on. Oranges
brothers among the pros might not go
that far. but they certainly would not
extend themselves giving him any as

BRITISH MAKING
GOLF HONORS
HARD To GET
By F. A. WRAY

LONDON, Nov. 2S.-Americans are
going to find it more difficult TO annex
the British open golf championship
in the future, for the simple reason
that they are going to find it more
difficult to find time to compete for
this honor.
Under the conditions which are be-
ing laid down for next years British
open championship, American COM
petitors will have to be prepared to
be away from the United States for at
least six weeks, and there is even a
chance that they may have to choose
between competing II the British open
championship and the American open
championship.
Qualifying competitions will pre-
cede the British open championship at
st. Anne's next summer. These quail
flying competitions will be held a fuD
two weeks before the championship
proper, which means that any Ameri-
can who wishes to compete must arrive
in England by the middle of May in
order to have n weeks practice on the
course where he will have to play for
qualification.
Once having qualified he will have
two weeks for further practice before
the championship is held. 1t is doubt.
full whether American competitors will
feel they can afford the time or money
for this procedure, for professionals
who come here from the United States
have not found it easy to pick up
money for exhibition matches while in
this country.
At least three qualifying tourna-
ments will be held next year. in diff
fcrent parts of the country. This has
been made necessary by the huge field.
"There is one disturbing fact about
the new condition." says The Evening
Standard. "They may operate in such
a way as to shut out American players
from the championship. This would
be more unfortunate, for though X
might be some relief TO be spared
American competition, it would be D
bad thing for the game If rivalry be-
tween the two countries were to
cease"

AUSTIN, Nov. 2s.-Eddie (Moose)
Woeber has been retained as basket

a contract with Grinnell to coach

that the clubs in the national associa-

Miller told companion that
Stribling is secretly engaged to an
Atlanta heiress, without cautioning
the friend TO keep still about it, and
now it's out.
NO NAMES CALLED.
No names were called, except
Stribling's.
1t is said, however, that the lady
in the case insists that the handsome
youngstcr give up his boxing career
before she will marry him.
Stribling, it is further reported, has
decided to do so after few fights
in New York, so far denied him be-
cause of the New York Boxing Com
missions rule that prohibits long-dis-
lance, main-event bouts among per-
formers under voting age.
The girls family joins her in the
desire that Stribling, if he wcds, re-
