BROWN JUG
 HOLDS SPOTLIGHT
Michigan Has Carried 0H 7ra- .ditional Trophy Several Seasons

Chicago. Nov. 1S.-(P(- Two buckets and Q little brown jug loom- ed through snow and rain today to claim the spotlight in the closing action of the 1926 western confer ence football drama.
 The worst weather of the year failed to shut the Brown demijohn out of the picture at Minnesota, where it will be on the sidelines dur ing Saturdays game with Michigan.
 Michigan has carried off the tra- ditional trophy for several seasons and early this fall won the jug with 200 bid. But Gopher fans warn- ed the Wolverines today to bring the jug along and save postage.
 Hoods and mittens were issued to the squad to permit unabated prac- tice for the encounter in which Michigan, despite the earlier victory. now is ranked only slight favorite. Saturdays battle for the jug will be the last for Capt. Benny Friedman and several Wolverine stars.
 At Purdue, the "old oaken bucket" beckoned Indiana, hoping to retain the drive that downed A. & NJ. last week to sion of the trophy. It became the prize of their games last year but 3 tie left the ownership undecided.
 Iowa labored today on a game de- signed to overthrow powerful in the last appearance of Capt. Moon Baker and what would be, in the defeat of his team, an upset as important as a victory for Minnesota over Michigan. Michi- gan and Northwestern the two teams undefeated in conference games, are fighting for tie at worst and possible lone claim on the title.
 At Illinois, zuppke posted his forces against the invasion of Ohio State, when his own Daugherity. fullback, and Capt. Narrow and handful of his Ohio mates will wind up their college gridiron careers.
 Only a tradition Is at stake in the Chicago Wisconsin game, both elevens being we'll down In the title fight, but both were spurred today by the chance of a victory over an old rival which would make highly successful seasons end.

YALE AND HARVARD HAVE
 FINAL DRILLS FOR GAME
New York University and Nebraska Share Interest With Eastern Teams - Violets Have Impressive Record For Season-Crimson Keeps Starting Line up Saturday Strict Secret - Eli Seeking the Strongest Baclfeld For Annual Classic.

New York. Nov. IS LTp-While the unshrinking violets of New York university speed westward today to meet the crowning adventure Of tho season at Nebraska Saturday, Har- yard and Yale buckled down to final drills for the last of the traditional Big Three conflicts,
 The two foremost meetings of the weekend in the eyes of the east found interest in both at peak point. Despite the many reverses of both Harvard and Yale, and Prince tons sweeping Big Three contest. 92 special trains have been chartered to carry the fur-coated and gaily at tired spectators to the classic at New Haven. Fifty-one of them leave from New York and Boston where it was announced yesterday that s25,oo0 had been returned to appli- cants for Harvard tickets because ot lack of pasteboards.
 In contrast to the mediocre rec- ords of the classic triumvirate rivals. the startling performances of the New York university have drawn the with the Cornhuskers. The Violets, in addition to whipping eight straight opponents, have suffered but 10 points scored against them. The western invasion. the first of it's kind ever undertaken by N. Y. L. eleven. marks the climax of the most successful football season in the his- tory at the university.
 The "scrimmageless' week at Harvard is drawing to a close with the lineup to face Yale still undecid- ed The heavy dummy workouts, however. find many substitutes in action. After yesterdays workout. 5000 students damned the Harvard Union to pledge their faith in the team and roar their approval of Coach Arnold Horween's announce ment that he would again lead tho Crimson forces in 1927

Reports of injuries on the Hart ford high school eleven are thought to be attempts to mislead football authorities here as to the strength of the team. By lauding the sensa- tional end running of Harry Deegan, star halfback, the Hartford authori- ties are seemingly trying to keep the attention of the New Britain team from the ability of Tommy Gallivan to smash the lire and the skin tackle dashes of Root.
 It is rumored that announcement was made that Gal,ivan was in poor physical condition so that his crash ing line bucks will be both a sur prise and a blow to the hopes of the Red and Gold team in the game at Clarkin field Saturday.

BILL In CONGRESS
PROVIDES FOR
NEW P. 0. BUILDING
Outlook Promising That Cody Will
Get New Post Office Building
In the Near Future

A bill which, according to Sen.
Kendrick has been very f~avorably
passed OF by the House committee,
carries an appropriation for an ad-
ditional $4,000 for the new post
office building for Cody. Sen. Ken
drick seems very hopeful that this
bill will be passed at this session
of Congress and wrote accordingly
to the Cody club, in a letter re-
ceived by Mrs. D. A. Tinkcom Mon
day.
Some twelve year ago $4,000
was made available for a federal
building for Cody, but owing to
increased building costs at that time
it was decided to postpone the con-
struction of the building until such
time as an additional appropriation
could be secured. Owing to the
war, and a policy of. re~trenchment
which retarded all government
building. nothing has been done for
several years, but at this session
there are several omnibus bills in
Guiding expenditures for public
buildings. Elliot Bill H. R. $3.50
carries an additional appropriation
of $4,000 for the Cody building.
/ A recent letter was received from
Sen. Warren, in which he stated
that the appropriations committee
of which he is chairman, has not
been approving expenditures of this
kind for several years, owing to the
rigid policy of economy made nee
essary after the war, but that he
was looking after Wyoming's in
~terests very carefully. and gave as
%surance that the first bill for ap-
preparations passed by his COM
mittee, would carry the additional
$40,0 600 asked for by Cody.

GIVES POWELL
BASKETEERS DRUBBING
Rivals by n Three to One Score
Girls Tie With Basin

The Cody Basketball team was
going its best on Thursday evening
when they met it's rivals of Pow
ell and the game was a one-sided
affair from start to finish. Start
ing off with the first basket the
home boys continued to tuck the
game away in a III place. be-
fore Coach Sweitzer could weaken
his team by use of the second
string men. When the whistle an
nounced the end of the game, the
score stood 81 to 8, and the team
was made up entirely of boys of
the second team.
Those starting the game were
Cogswell, Martin, Scholes, Edwards
and Wylie. Those who finished
were Killian, Kurtz, Koenig, Wal
ters and Worrel. Although the
game evened UP to a very great
extent by the change of lineup. the
second line boys were able to score
during the last quarter.
Girls at Basin and Henderson
The girls team under the super
vision of Miss Josephine Kollmeyer
went to Basin on Friday where
they played a 5000 tie game with
the girls of the Basin High. The
game is said to have been a fast
one, full of thrills and clever plays
by both teams from start to fin
ish.
At Henderson the Cody girls
met defeat to the tune of 10 to
10. The Henderson team is a
fast and clever one and one which
the local girls seem unable to COM
pete with.
Towns Teams Clash
The Cody and Powell town teams
clashed on Tuesday evening, and a
game such as is seldom witnessed
on the Cody gym was played. The
boys from the project town, each
and every one of them a star dur
ing high school days came to Cody
with the avowed intention of TAX
ing the Cody boys scalps home
with them. To say that they were
slightly resisted in this, is evidenced
by the fifteen to nine victory for
the local team.
The game was a fast and a rough
one. Fouls were unheard of, and
the quints bounced into one another
in a manner which almost resem-
bled a football skirmish.
