FOR SALLY

A frantic mother on the verge OF
collapse. an anxious father, an
older brother and sister spending
sleepless days and nights exhaust
ing every possible means in their
search for her, and weeping baby
sister who misses her companion.
sllip-an these are calling, calling
with voices of love for the return
OF Sally Tennyson, pretty 15-year-
old girl who disappeared last Satur-
day from her home, 1907 Illinois
Ave.
The appeal to Sally to come back
to her home, because her parents
love her and want her and want to
do everything they can for her,
was broadcast last night over WRC.
Police Of all eastern cities are
searching for her. Her brother
who, with his father and Sally's IT,
year-old sister. has been tireless
since Saturday in the search for
ton Times today to help.
Don't Know why She Left
Sally's family doesn't know why
she left. She had always been a
good girl, her brother said. She
was a well.matured girl for her
age, Sanford Tennyson, the brother,
declared today, but she had no
hoy friends" and didn't want any.
She didn't like boys. She was
never away from her home after 10
o'clock at night and very, very sell
dom was she out that late.
Her two interests were develop
ment of a talent for drawing por-
traits which she exhibited as .
child, and her love of romantic
novels These two loves of the
child form the only clues her par
ents can think of as reasons for
her departure.
She left the Tennyson home Sat.

WILL WOMEN TELL
THEIR REAL AGES?

"a woman political leader
says that all women must vote
and that if they do they must
tell their correct ages, which
thousands refuse to do, thereby
losing their suffrage rights.)
They now say that women are an
tiquated,
When they refuse to tell their ages.
And that to be modern and progress
They've got to change histOry's
pages.
Mankind is some millions of years old,
Yet this old custom women still
retain.
Before the majority of them will yield
They'd go to Jail, with lock and
chain.
The custom may be antiquated and
And not in keeping with the saKes.
But II is generally the antiGuated ones
Who refuse to tell their real ages.

The national football dope bucket
was Jared a bit Saturday but a
thump was not very surprising.
While it was thought by many that
Army would defeat Notre Dame, the
point of doubt rested in enough
heads to make the game more or
less of an even affair. The boys who
wagered on the Irish wished Satur-
day night that they had taken more,
as the final score, 10, rolled in.
Christy Flanagan got away on one
of those favorite end runs behind
perfect interference and left twelve
chalked lines behind as he galloped
sixty yards for the onlv score Of
the game. The final count was
to 0, Notre Dame.
The staunch Irish admirers believe
the Army will defeat Navy at Chi
cago, and Notre Dame will go to the
coast Dec. to play University OF
Southern California with a chance
for national title claims.
Getting back to IIoosier soil today,
we find most of the collegiate teams

SCOUTING
BroWn-Y Yale, Michigan
UpsetS Prove Value of
'GumShoe.'

BIZ Times Special
NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-The moral
ity of scouting in college football
is in question.
Yale, HarvaI> and Princeton, once
the big Three" have agreed to
eliminate it.
Coach McLaughry of Brown
scoffed at the suggestion and dropped
in at the Dartmouth game a
few weeks ago. What he saw en-
abled him to teach his team how
to beat Yale a week later.
Before the Michigan-Navy game
scouts from Annapolis looked over
the Wolverines and brought back
such adequate details of the Fried
man to Oosterbaan" plays at Ann
Arbor that the Middies were thor
oughly coached in defense against
this doughty pair.
1t would seem to be a question of
what each individual institution ex-
poets to get out of the game of foot
ball. If a college aspires to vic
tories, with consequent prestige,
gate receipts, increased attendance
and alumni support, then it will ia
vor scouting. If it regards foot
ball as a sport, in which the charac-
ter Of the players as well as their
physique is to be developed. then
there are other things besides scout
ing which might well be eliminated.
A short time ago, we had motion
pictures-slow motion and otherwise
as a means of scouting. There was
some outcry against this, although
in reality it was merely efficiency ap-
piled to a recognized system.
If a college hires the best support
1t can afford to get the most vic
tories out of it's football material,
it would seem that scouting would
be part Of the coaches job Yale,
Harvard and Princeton are in po-
sition where their academic prestige
and alumni support are independent
of football success. Other institu-
tens are not.

Record of Rockne'S HooSier
irish Machine Stands
Out in Summing Dope.
BY Frank Getty

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-The foot.
ball fates are fashioning the crown
that symbolizes the mythical cham
flaming red-the predominant color
of matches at Notre Dame.
OF course, the brains that have
steered the fighting Irish" to the
top of one Of the most scrambled
heaps in football history are incased
in a skull which boasts practically
no hair whatever@unless Knute
Rockne invested in hair tonic since
Saturdays 10 victory over the
Army.
But both Notre Danes captains
are nicknamed Red" and 1t was a
youngster of Celtic extraction named
Chris Flanagan, who should be red
headed, who sprinted SO yards to
bring about the downfall of the Ca
diets in the seasons most important
intersectional game.
A Master Coach
In the twilight stage of a season
marked by more sensational upsets
"
Rockne has come to be recognized
once more as the greatest football
coach in the country.
Where fate kept tossing the dope
into the discard one Saturday after
another, Rockne's husky Irish kept
their slate clean and went on win
ming. Only once this season has
Notre Dame been scored upon, and
the Irish revenged themselves for
solitary Minnesota touchdown by
beating the Gophers, 20 to z.
Had not Chris Flanagan galloped
for a touchdown at Yankee Stadium
Saturday, and had not the Notre
Dame line and secondary defense
checked the Army backf1eld for the
first time this season, it might have
Chicago on Nov. 27, to have de-
termined the football championship
of 1926.
Besides Notre Dame, six elevens
still retain clean states for the
season. The following, like the
Irish" have not been beaten or
tied: Navy Brown, Alabama, N. Y.
u, Lafayette and Stanford.
A comparison Of the schedules and
records of these unbeaten teams
awards the palm to Rockne's men.
Even if the Navy, after a fortnight's
rest, defeats the Army at Chicago,
the Middies cannot claim to have ac-

SURPRISE.
BY Billy Evans.

Veteran American League Umpire
The greatest shock Of my baseball
career. That's what 1 received when
/ read the wire report that Eddie
Collins had been deposed as man
ager of the Chicago White Sox.
Big league managers are usually
let out because the owners Of the
club regards them as failures. Eddie
Collins has been a big success from
the day he took charge of the Chi
cago club up to his finish, the win.
ming of the 1925 city series.
/ rate Eddie Collins the smart
est ball player 1 ever came into
contact with. There is no question
about his being the greatest second
baseman OF alltime. His managerial
career has been equally successful
If I were the owner Of a big
league ball club 1 know of no pres
ent day pilot 7 would prefer to
Collins to handle my players.
Certainly there must be other rea
sons for his passing than managerial
ability, for he possessed that to a
marked degree Perhaps it was
financial.
Ray Schalk, his successor, is
smart, popular, aggressive, and If he
can handle men, and think he
can, he should be a success. 1 have
always thought Schalk would be a
great manager, hoped some day he
would be given the chance, but
hardly looked for him to succeed
Collins.
Yes, sir. This life of a big league
manager is a mighty precar1ous one.
