 Sweeney. however. was fighting. On the eighth. he drove nicely but hooked his hrassie into the rough. He made a comhack and shot beau tifully right to the edge of the green. He got down in a par five while Swee'ser took a six. On the ninth, 164 yard drive. Bill landed eight feet from the cup. Sweeney sank his for a birdie two and Sweetser was down in a par three. On the 10th Bill, fighting the battle of his life. took it with par four. SWeetser appeared to be cracking under the strain as Sweeney had taken three holes in TOW.

 was defeated twice hy the Yellow Jackets of Frankford, Pa. cham- pions of the National Football league last year, over Saturday and sun day. The Hardware City eleven was beaten 2l to Q in Frankford Satur- day and lost in this city yesterday by the score Of 22 10 Q. The local crew put up a game fight in both encounters but the opposition was altogether too much for them and they were left out in the cold on both days.
 Saturdays Game
 The combination Of extraordinary heat and the strength of the opposi- tions Saturday was too much for the locals. The Yellow Jackets with a squad of more than 40 players. had 26 substitutions in the first half and 3S in the second while New Brit ain with a squad of lT men had three substitutions in the first frame and two in the second.
 Three touchdoWns with three points after touchdown gave the Yellow Jackets 21. The first two came after real tiukes and "hreaks' of the game. In the first quarter after the Yellow Jackets had punted to New Britains flve-yard line. New Britain elected 10 forward pass but a tumble was recovered by the Tel low Jackets on New Britain's five yard line and in four smashes Moran carried the ball over. He also kick ed the extra point.
 In the second period the Yellow Jackets in mid field. sent a forward pass. 4 New Britain rlayer hit the ball and sent 1t high into the air. A New Britain and a lrankford player jumped for it as the ball came down and it tipped their fingers. As it dropped behind them, a Jacket scooped it up just before it touched the ground and he was away for a long run. The ball was on New Britain's two yard line and it was easy work 10 carry it over.
 The third score came when Moran took a forward pass and with Me Grath interfering, ran through the entire New Britain team for 45 yards and a touchdown. The Yellow Jackets were unable 10 penetrate New Britain's line to any great eN- tent but their forward passing game brought them their scores.

A. N. Jacobs will, it is believed,
make some very sensational disclos-
ures as to the senator's campaign
methods. Until recently he was
close friend of Mr.. Schall and two
years ago had more to do with his
campaign, perhaps than anybody else.
The senator will attempt to impeach
the Jacobs testimony by proving that
in an affidavit filed with the commit
tee on elections of the United States
senate Mr.. Jacobs gave the blind
senator clean bill of health, hold
ing that he had no connection with,
or knowledge of the alleged practice
of accepting donations from bootleg
gers and blindpiggers in considera-
ton of immunity from prosecution by
the federal government.
Developments in the fight between
a powerful faction in the legislature
and the administration over Univer-
sity and school aid appropriations
