SYRACUSE SEWERS
 ARMY RELATIONS
Temporary Suspension Of Sports
 Events Decided On
-N~y-~G~ry-

Syracuse, N. Y. Nov. ? P-Ath- letic relations between Syracuse university and the United States Military academy at West Point have been severed for the present at least.
 Chancellor Charles w. Flint, of Syracuse. and Brigadier General Merle B. Stuart. superintendent of the Cadets, announced simultane- ously at their instructions that it was deemed advisable ito tempor- arily suspend athletic contacts following a secret conference at which the Army-Syracuse football game of October l6 was discussed.
 The conference was called at the suggestion of Chancellor Flint aft CT five players were hurt in the Army victory. Two of the men, "Whippet" Narr, Syracuse ace and eastern high point scorer up to last Saturday, and Trapnell. star of the Cadet backfield, suffered injuries which may keep them from the game for the remainder of the season. Baysinger. SyracGse quar- terback. resigned from the squad after he had struck Referee Victor 4. Schwartz when ordered from the game for kicking an army player.
 The statement declared the off, cials had decided that while recent developments in the athletic rela- tons Of their institutions involved no difficulties that could not be satisfactorily adjusted in time,' it was deemed advisable to temporari- ly suspend relations until sucl, time as may be mutually agreed upon by them.' The announcement stressed the fact that no judgment had been passed on what actually had taken place during the past events"
 The suspension of relations causes cancellation of soccer game between Army and Syracuse scheduled for Wednesday. and basketball boxing and hockey meetings this winter. The schools usually meet in lacrosse and base ball during the spring.

Purdue and Northwestern Hold Center of Football Stage

Chicago, Nov. R - Purdue and Northwestern today moved to' the center of the stage in the west ern conference football drama, fast nearing the last act.
 There are three other. Big Ten games this week but, barring the most improbable of upsets. the en- gagement of most importance in the title battle is between North western and Purdue at Evanston.
 Michigan still is reeling from the blow by Navy but has demonstrated more than enough power to down Wisconsin Saturday and not Hose a swift stride toward the champion ship. Illinois is a favorite over Chi cago, but has at best ah outside chance in the race. Minnesota has lost one Big Ten start and Iowa two.
 In q way, Purdue has most to gain in Saturdays game. Once past the Purple, the Boilermakers have only Indiana to defeat to present a nawless seasons record, and In- diana has been twice vanqulshed. Northwest ern. on the other hand. must down Purdue. Chicago and Iowa for perfect Big Ten cam paign.
 Chicago bohbed back. into the picture today. despite a second suc- ccssive conference defeat Tagg reused his battered team to such heights Saturday that powerful Ohio was stopped for half the game. and now they talk of the Maroon's rising to new peak against Illinois in the renewal of their moss-hung rivalry.
 At Minnesota Doc Spears count ed the injury of Peplaw as one of the costs of victory over Wisconsin and labored enthusiastically with a squad which. safely past Iowa in the weeks encounter, will give Yost considerable worry before the Wolverines return game with Min ncsota two weeks hence.

.PERSS0N IS REAL
 TITLE CONTENDER
Fighting SHede to Battle Pat Mccarthy in Hartford Nov. 8

Hartford, Nov. 2.-Harry Person, Swedish heavyweight champion who meets Pat Mccarthy in the star bout of George Mulligan's show at the state armory here next Monday night, is rated as one of the three real contenders for the crown that now sits on the head of Gene Tun- ney fighting marine.
 Grantland Rice, in a story last week, pointed to Person, Jack De- fancy and Big Monte Mum as the only ~hree big men of the period who can be reckoned as liable to give Tunney real trouble in the squared circle.
 It Is hard to understand how Rice names Bum instead of Tack Shar- key. but he undoubtedly is right regarding Delaney and Persson.
 Person came to these shores practically an unknown hut in a comparatively short time has lifted himself Into the front ranks.
 He has bowled over all opposition thus far and is slated fir a bout with Jack Dempsey, provided Dempsey does not decide to retire from the ring.
 Jack told Rickard at their con- ference last week that he would not return to the ring unless sure that he was fit to give a good account of himself.
 The big Swede is in fine hands, having placed himself in the care of Jimmy DeForest. veteran trainer. who handled Luis Firpo when the South American made his famous American invasion.
 Persson has fine physique and tremendous hitting power. He still has much to learn of the finesse of thr game, but DeF'orest will bring him along as rapidly as anyone could.
 George Lamson. who meets Lit tie Boy Blue" on the Person Me Carthy semi final. is in Hartford working out for his bout.
 Nick Fidel and Prince Tooma will meet in an cight-round preliminary and Joe Smith. Hartford amateur. who is turning pro on this occasion, will tangle with George McRae of Springfield.

New York. Nov. P-The threat of Jake Slagfe, a passing. running. kicking Tiger man from Princeton. is hanging owe. Harvard this week. Slagle is back n harness after three weeks of dleness due to injuries and as he fits himself into the machine Bill Roper Is building for Harvard and the opening of the Big Three series Saturday, the Crimson drills are pointing right at him.
 The short passes Slasle throws just behind the rushline and the dazzling open field dashes that have aided in both of Princeton's crushing victories over Harvard in the past two seasons, are fresh in Crimson minds as Harvard battles to keep down overconfidence. Harvard so far this season has shown no real defense against a forward passing attack such as Princeton and Slagle will throw, the coaches say and the surge that brought Harvard along at headlong speed after a dismal start will batter against different Prince ton defense than that which has stumbled so badly this season.
 Yale, with Maryland ahead has thrown host of substitutes into the lineup that failed against Army in an effort to develop a winning com bination, but Brown, opposing Nor wich. is letting down the bars for eleven iron men who have played two straight games without substi- tuition. Dartmouth Is resting eas. fly before the grind for Boston uni- versity.
 Light practices are the rule as small opponents to recuperate after strenuous games and prepare for tho final dash through the schedule. Army and Cornell have little opposi- ition in Franklin and Marshall and St. Bonaventure. Columbia and Colgate are taking things easy for William and Mary and Providence college ali, Navy has few small weaknesses to correct before meet ing West Virginia Wesleyan.
 Teams with sturdy rivals in the offing are finding little rest. however. Pennsylvania was an exception. re- tuperating after the Illinois upset before tackling the hard work in preparation for Penn State. West Virginia went right to scrimmaging for Pittsburgh. Carnegie Tech, some- what crippled after the Detroit en- gagement, held dummy scrimmagc Iagainst New York university plays and Syracuse looked over the offens- i've which Georgetown probably will offer. Rutgers is driving steadily 'or Lafayette unhampered by hurts, and Lehigh limbered up the squad that will face Bucknell.
 crippled eleven rested at Ford ham before tackling the Holy Cross assignment but Villanova's husky band took preliminary steps to check the surge of Boston college.

Pennsylvania Dutch"
Is Language Mixture

During 1858 systematic German
immigration into this country began.
In the fall of that year party of
Mennonites, the ''hOok-and-eye people"
now living all over the country, came
from the German city of Crefeld and
landed near Philadelphia upon land
owned by William Penn, upon whose
invitation they came, Conrad BercO-
vici relates in the Century Magazine.
Some time later they founded German
town, six miles above Philadelphia.
Shortly afterward, in successive waves
of almost equal numbers, they came
one after the other and settled in all
parts Of Pennsylvania. At the time Of
the Revolution one-third of the popula-
ton of Pennsylvania was of German
birth or descent. Soon mixing with
the Dutch that lived there, they formed
a virtually new language, more or less
a compilation or corruption of the two,
which is known today as Pennsylvania
Dutch.

PHENOMENAL GROWTH
OF THE BELL SYSTEM

The growth of the Bell System and
its connections has been nothing short
of phenomenal. Beginning with 1876
it took 90 years for the system 70
reach 100000 telephones. In 1893, the
year of the Chicago Worlds Fair, it
had about 100000 and in 1898, when
the war with Spain occurred, it had
about 100000 The second 100000
were reached and passed in 1901,
three years later
In the next three years nearly
100000 stations were added, making
over 100000 in 1904 In the next
three years over 100000 stations
were added and in the three years
following 100000 more By 1913,
three years later, the additions were
2,250,000 and by 1916 nearly 1,750,000
more. Nearly 100000 were added by
1919 and 100000 by 1922. The gain
in both the years 1923 and 1924
amounted to nearly 100000 each, and
according to the present rate of
growth the gain in 1925 will be almost
as great, At the beginning of October,
1925, there were 16,4O0,00O telephones
in the System Throughout all this
growth Better Service" has been the
watchword. j.,
