BULLDOGS SHOW
REAL FORM FOR
SATURDAY GAME

The Bulldogs took a brisk workout
last evening and showed exceptional
ability at line plunging and offensive
tactics for more than an hour. The
backfield is functioning as unit
and behind strong line should Is2
able to cope with the best that the
Badgers send against them Saturday.
Coach Fuzzy" Warren is using
Cary, the star tackle, in the back
field and chances are that he will
develop into a stellar performer be-
fore long. He has plenty of drive,
is heavy and batters his way through
the smallest holes. He looks plenty
good carrying the ball and it is
highly possible that he will supplant
some other backfield man if yardage
is at stake.
The line with Bodenhammer at
the pivot, Thrasher and Flores at
guards, Maloney and Williams at
tackles and Franklin and Sanders at
the ends, shows enough ability to
stop any line of their own weight.
The backfield consists of Miller, Hob
stadt, Cummins, Hood and Cary.
Critchley, Bouldin, Peryam, Park,
NIcRae, Powers and Coryell will be
available substitutes for the Badger
game and are ready to take a turn
whenever called upon to enter the
game.
Miller, speedy halfback, who was
injured in The Nogales game, is back
again in the moleskins and side
stepping all tacklers in practice ses-
sions. None of the other players
were injured SO the team that goes
against Tucson Saturday will be in
fine condition
4 The Badgers are also in the pink
of condition, according to newspaper
reports, and are anxious to get on
even terms with the Bulldogs who
gave them IS to defeat last
year and thus won the southern con-
ference championship.

Throughout history" ne argued,
"triumvirates, boards and commissions
have been ineffective in the admin
istration either of government or OF
industry. Boards and commissions
are designed to have advisory capac-
ity but not executive authority.
Before the railroads were restored
to private operation, the railroad adj
ministration accumulated an operat-
ing deficit of $1,8O0OOO. We know
the government spent $3,00O,OOO 900
for ships during thessWar and that
in addition to the $120,0O0,oOO year,
which the taxpayer is now paying. in
interest, government operation since
the war has resulted in deficit
exceeding $23300O, 900.
"It is important to preserve Amer
lean business but it is far more
important to preserve American gov
eminent. If government finds ii
can enter one business without re-
sistance how long wilt it be before
it extends its operations to all bust
ness? And when government has
wormed its way into whole spread
of American trade the heart will be
gone from American business and
American government as our fore
fathers built it, will have vanished
from the earth"
The councillors of the national
chamber gained a. picture of condi-
lions the country over, ranging from
agricultural relief, Boulder canyon
plans and merchant marine to tax
reduction and postal rate revision.

F. H. Hagenbarth, of Spencer.
Idaho, representing the National
Wool Growers association, denounced
the federal policy of turning into
the national treasury the fees for
use of national forest land in the
northwest. He said the profits above
administration costs should go toward
building schools and roads in. the
district which contributed the reve.

A new side of the agricultural sit

except Slattery and his victim in
a recent bout. Tommy Loughran is
recognized as champion by the New

affiliated with the N. B. A.
There was a lengthy discussion
concerning Sammy Mandell and his
failure to defend his title against
logical contenders," but the Illinois
boy came through unscathed. Dun

pension in the N. B. A. until January

NEW YORK, Oct. 18 CH9-College
football is putting on its flip-flops
earlier than usual this year.
Where the dope usually is strong
enough to weather most Of October's
shocks. it has already been knocked
up against the ropes by a series OF
form somersaultS. It. will be a topsy
tllrvy season. AS bewildering to keep
up with as the rule changes, il
November unfolds anything like the
upsets' that October already has
ushered in
The climax battles are yet to come
but the carnage so far finds defeat
escaped by only one of the eight
major teams that finished the 1926
campaign unbeaten.
Lafayette, the only eastern team
neither conquered nor tied in 1926
is the only survivor of the unbeaten
brigade and even this team has one
tie marked against its record so far
this season. The Maroon juggernaur
ran into unexpected opposition from
West Virginia last Saturday al
barely escaped with TT score.
Lafayette may stumble this. week
against an old rival, Washington
and jefferson to complete the down
fall of last seasons pace settlers.
Alabama and Stanford, intersec-
tional rivals, who fought to a tie
in last New Years Day post-season
battle after hopping up all rivals
previously, met swift and sudden
downfall this season. Georgia Techs
golden tornado swept over Alabams
last week, handing the crimson tide
its first defeat in three years. Little
st. Marys college toppled Stanford
rather unceremoniously Is to o.
In turn ST. Marys was trimmed by
California, whose Golden Bears APP
pear to be staging comeback and
bidding for the Pacific coast con-
ference title they held for so many
years under the guidance of the late
Andy Smith.
The Navy, Brown and Boston COL
1ege. indicated along the eastern
front last season, all have bitten the
dust SO far. Notre Dame humbled
the mldahipmen, Pennsylvania, and
then Yale bowled over Browns Iron
Men" while both Duke and Geneva
plucked the feathers of Boston col
lege's Eagles.
Out in the wide open spaces Uni
versity of Utah and Southern Math-
odist both finished the 1926 cam
paign undefeated but both also have
taken the "long count" from early
season foes this year. Utah, Rocky
Mountain conference champions, fell
before Northwestern powerful team.
Southern Nethodist's Mustangs, title
holders in the Southwestern confer
ence, lost to Centenary, a small but
powerful Louisiana eleven, a fortnight
ago.
1t is a coincidence that the two
most famous Johnsons in baseball
history, Ban and Walter, have retired
from major league fields of activity
within day or two of each other.
Ban has turned over to osher hands

WEAKNESS FOR THE BABE


All great sluggers have various weak
nesses vat the bat, due TO the fact that
are free swingers and certain styles
of pitching are troublesome for such
batters when crossed up.
Babe Ruth will tell you frankly that
he doesn't, like to hit against the
"screw" ball. This is half-speed fast
ball that works away from left
handed hitter as it nears the plate
when thrown by right handed
pitcher,
! Pitched low and outside, it is a diff
cult ball to properly time and thereby
get perfect contact with the, bat.
Alexander and EIaines used it to adj
vantage against Ruth last year in the
series, while in the recent clash, the
Pirate pitchers worked it overtime.
Yet Ruth's longest home run of the
series, made in the fourth game off
Hill was on a screw" ball. However,
instead of keeping it low and outside,
Hill lost control and got it inside, with
the result that Ruth hit it into the
right center bleachers,

1T PAYS TO FOLLOW THE BALL

nected with st. Mary's unexpected vic
tory over Stanford, Pacific coast cham

Pop Warner?

AS in baseball, the breaks in football
usually provide the medium for pull
ing the unexpected. The dope gel

which were recovered by the enemy

They have gates in them to let out

They're stronger levees than the

only two feet, as on the Mississippi.
Some are set back from the river
half a mile or mile and some are
not, depending on the circumstances.
In places there are two sets.

There also are revetments where
they're needed, and the rivers course
is given a certain amount of direction,
