HARVARD CIRDS
UP LOINS FOR
YALE BULLDOGS

NEW YORK, Nov Is tH1 - While
Yale's program called for rest in large
quantities, the battered warriors Of
oft-defeated Harvard worked under a
new coach today in an effort to de-
velop bag of tricks in the powerful
Eli Bulldogs. f
Frank (Shag) ShaughneSsy, coach at
McGill university, Montreal, and an
authority on Rugby style of attack
that characterizes the Canadian game,
drilled the Crimson on new plays fea-
turing more varied use of the later
al pass. He will work with the team
until Yale comes to Cambridge Sat-
urday.
Passing and kicking drills, with
every member of the team trying
placement kicks, took up much of the
practice. Harvard will muster full
strength on the field Saturday with
all injured veterans well nigh recov-
cred from minor hurts.
Yale, needing rest more than Scrirn-
mage, due to bruises of the Princeton
game, went through signal drills and
dummy scrimmage today and coaches
announced there would be no regular
scrimmage this week. Although Capt.
Webster, Johnny Hoben and John
Garvey still were confined to the in
Urinary with injuries, hope was ex-
pressed that the trio would be back
for the final game of the season.
Lehigh suffered a severe blow today
in the loss of Davidowitz, star fullback,
called home by the death of a rela-
tive. He may not oppose Lafayette
Saturday.

with purchase of the team by the late

The price of the franchise, while
not made public, was reported to have
been around $950,00O.
Alva Bradley is slated to become
president of the club. The new owners
announced tonight their first move
would be to secure new manager
to succeed Jack McCallister. Iris
Speaker has been mentioned for the
job, but Bradley intimated that the
man he has in mind has never been
connected with the club.
Well informed circles here have it
that Eddie Collins, now of the Phila-
delphia Athletics and. former manager
of the Chicago White Sox, and Arthur
Fletcher, former shortstop for the New
York Giants in their pennant- winning
days of 1911, 1912 and 1913 and later
manager of the Philadelphia Nation
ais, were being considered for the man

WESTERN TEAMS

FOR GRID TITLE

| SAN FRANCISCO, Nov Is (P) =
Turning into the home stretch of
flashing 1927 campaign, far western
elevens settled into practice sessions
for Games Saturday that will cICsscc $he
coast conference schedules Of four
major football teams, University Of
California, oregon State University of
Idaho and Stanford All but Stanford,
however, have non-conference or post
season contests yet to play,
Stanford and California, rivals
since 1892, whirled through speedy
workouts for their 34th annual grid
iron clash. The unexpected and stun
ming defeat of Stanford last week by
Santa Clara and Californias great
showing against Washington has serv-
ed to put the teams on an even
strength basis in the opinion of many
critics.
Coach Glenn Warmers wrath in
Stanford losing to such an unimposing
team as Satna Clara was reflected in
! yesterdays and today's workouts of
the Cardinals. Secret practice in the
truest sense of the word, Warner lock-
ed the gate to the graduate manager,
was enforced and the Cardinals went
through every formation learned this
year.

final CLASSICS
OF GRID SEASON
DRAWING NEAR

NEW YORK, Nov. is P-Most of
the climax classics of the college grid
iron season will have distinct if not
decisive bearing on the outcome of
the various sectional championship
races. At least seven of the big foot
ball dramas, ccast, west and south, will
involve these title aspirations.
Harvard hasn't had much to cheer
about this year, but the somewhat
down trodden Crimson eleven may
give Yale at least an uneasy moment
or two this Saturday before the Ellis
can lay final claim to eastern cham
pionship honors. The big blue ma
chine that downed Princeton, Army
and Dartmouth, will be a top-heavy
favorite to smash the Johnnies but
the picture still is vivid of fighting
Harvard team of few years ago that
put it's back to the wall and held one
of Yale's nlightiest postwar arrays TO
a scoreless tie.
On the same gridiron where Red
Grange completed his college career
in gaudy fashion, Illinois, with another
Grange in the lineup, will seek Ohio
States scalp and the western confer
ence title
Should the Illini lose, the dispute
between Michigan and Minnesota on
the same day over the "little brown
jug" will have an important bearing
on the final "big ten" standing.
Thanksgiving day will see the Texas
Aggies. and Texas university locking
horns, with the formers hopes of a
southwestern conference championship
at stake. Two days later Colorado
college and Colorado AggieS, now in
the van of the Rocky mountain title
chase, will have their own little argu-
ment.
The southern conference and Pacific
coast conference title races will not
reach climax until December 8,
Southern California, sharing the pres
ent leadership in the far west with
Stanford, encounters Washington on
that date. 1t may proves a tough spot
for the U. S. G. TrojanS, who must
jump to Chicago for a tussle with
Notre Dame before taking on Wash
ington.
The southern finale will be between
those ancient foes, University of
Georgia ana Georgia Iecn, nelCner
has been beaten in the conference SO
far, but Tech has been tied by Van
derbilt. Georgia has only Alabama to
dispose of to enter the Tech joust with
a clean slate, and Alabama this season
hasn't been anyway near the high
mark it reached through three previous
seasons.
Gene Tunney may or may not be
able to fulfill his desire to have two
or three title fights next year, but he
is firm in conviction that he needs
additional activity to safeguard his
crown, according to Jimmy Bronson,

Perhaps Sande did foul one of the
other Jockeys. That is no great crime
However, it should be punished, but
not by suspension for life.
If Sande has done something other
than give his mount as well as some
of the other jockeys rough time
of =, the public should be appraised
of the additional facts.
PUBLIC WANTS FACTS 9aqe
Given a hearing to offer any evi-
dence he had that might cause the
Maryland Jockey club to reverse its
decision, the officials of the club
turned thumbs down on his plea.
The only statement given out was
that Sandes story at the trial diff
fered widely FROM what he said al
the close Of the race, when sum-
moned before the judges.
The public is entitled to a recital
of both stories, all the facts in the
case. This would give them a chance
to pass proper judgment on the dis
pute between the jockey club and
Earl Sande. as
Unless the public gets the true
facts, it is going to be. with Sande
and feel that he has gotten raw
deal. This feeling isn't going to
help the running game, now in dis
favor in many states Because too
many jockeys do net always try to
win, as did Sande.
Earl Sande, premier jockey, deserves
a better fate unless he has done
more than merely crowd horse that
was trying to overtake his mOun:.
WILL FIGHT IT OUT
Sande left the conference with the
officials of the Maryland Jockey club
in tears. That is easy tc understand,
for with Sande his reputation for
honesty was always paramount.
Earl Sande has "guts" He proved
that by his memorable comeback a
few years ago, when no one conceded
him chance. Suffering an accident
that resulted in eight broken ribs,
a, leg broken in three places and a
fractured collar bone, Sande didn't
quit. He returned to the turf to
even greater triumphs.
do not believe Sande is the type
to sit idly by and take an unfavorable
decision if he feels that he has been
unjustly dealt with. The facts in
the present ruling certainly makes it
seem that way.
1t might be good thing for the
turf game if the officials in charge
were more alert to other flaws in
the sport than merely rough riding
in an effort to win.

Word Of God is based upon q solid
foundation that cannot be moved.
This doctrine of consciousness in the
future state of existence is based

Rev. DR.. Becton then cited num-
erous instances from the Old Tesla
ment to support his argument.
Isaiah pictured the downfall and
death Of Nebuchadnezzar and told of
how he was greeted in He'll by those
royal tyrants who had preceded him.
(See Isaiah 14:9-11.) If these
wicked tyrants had lost their con-
seriousness at death, they could not
have asked such questions, which in
them imply a knowledge Of things
previously happening in this world.
THAT TRANSPORTATION SCENE
DR.. Becton spoke OF the Trans
figurat;on scene as told in the New
Testament. the appearance Of Moses
and Elias, and remarked, "They
mus have known what was to take
place and had come to- be visible
witnesses to the celestial occasion.
Shall we know each other theref o
yes we shall!
Rev. DR.. Bectpn said: ''Let US
notice the teaching Of Jesus in the
parable of the rich man and Lazarus
est. Luke 16:19.) There was a
certain rich man, which was clothed
in purple and linen and Jared sump-
tuously every day; and there was
a certain beggar, named Lazarus
which was laid at his gate, full OF
sores and desiring to be fed with
crumbs which fell from the rich
mans table. And 1T came to pass
that the beggar died, and was car
ried by angels to- Abraham's bosom.
The rich man also died, and was
buried; and in He'll he lifted up his
eyes, being in torment and seeing
Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his
bosom, and he cried and said, Father
Abraham, have mercy on me and
send Lazarus that he may dip the
tip of his fingers in water and cool
my tongue; for I am tormented In
this flame.

Age, with Corporations, acts very
much like it does with individuals;
as people grow older, they value
more highly friendships and CO..

have Loyalty supported and appre-
ciated it's efforts to- provide Them
with the best in insurance prOtec-
ion, and in service in the payment
of claims, in cooperating with all
other race endeavors, and in open
ing doors of employment and op'
portunities to our people.
The Society has done, during 1897
the largest business Of any year Of
its career and likewise has rendered
to policyho.ders and the public, the
largest service in the sums paid out
for sickness, accident and death, in
employment of race men and women
and in support of race enterprises.
Such wonderful record during the
past year. and previous years, could
not have been accomplished without
the untiring efforts of the most loyal

Agents and Clerks.
Thus the Southern Aid Society OF
Va, Inc, closes the year with a
heart flied with gratitude to its
policyholders and friends, and plans
