Toward midnight my attention was
drawn to Il rather unusual figure who

There was something decidedly strik-

battles along this Middle Western

The boys who make football dop-

in their bones a number of huge sur
prises on the days slate. Whether

stated. But the experts are crying
for these bigger and better upsets.

ing for the four periods of each
and every game.
The Penn-MarOOn game has
the folks up q tree. Chicago
has turned out to be the won
der" team because everyone Is
trying to wonder what they
will do next.
A flop at the beginning of the
season, the Stages have developed
into quite a nifty ball club. Penn
was looked on as one of the great
teams of the East until Brown
came along, but the wisenheimers
of the seaboard say that the Quak-
ers should still be rated among the
greats.
Northwestern and Illinois will
stage their scramble before $4,000
people and it can be stated that
the battle is worthy of that gather
ing. Neither has been beaten.
Illinois hasn't played a conference
opponent and for this reason it is
difficult to get a good line on
Zuppke. The Purple has power
and because of its win over Ohio
State should win.
The Michigan-Ohio State scrap
should be a lulu. Michigan has an.

and Ohio has proved its power.
Many look for the Buckeyes to stage
a comeback against Michigan and
beat the Wolverines flatter than a
fried egg.
Ohio State teams have been
known to do that in such
emergencies as this. North
western is the only team to hold
a victory over Ohio State this
season.
Minnesota should be just about
ripe to lay all over Iowa. The

 Death Rate on Garments

London, Oct 31 LPl-'I-t told you sos" who have been finding much fault with the scanty attire of mod ern young women and their indul- Sence in cigarettes and modern dancing feel they have won a viz tory in the recent British vital sta tistics. These indicate an increase in the death rate of young unmar- ried women between the ages of IS and 27.
 J. r. Junkin, manager Of the Sun Life of Canada, believes the in creased death rate is due to the competition of young women with men in business and industry which has subjected women to strains and risks unknown to pre-war women.
 Dame Mary Scharlieb, q promi- nent Harley Street physician, be- leves cigarettes are the chief cause of the decline in the health of young women.
 If women confined themselves to five cigarettes day they might not suffer great physical harm but the rapidly growing habit of incessant smoking is very deleterious to the heart and nervous system" says Dame Mary. She also says women do not pay enough attention to their diet and do not wear warm enough clothing to protect their health in the English climate.
