AggieS Feature.
BY Norman T.. Isaacs

1t will be hotsy-totsy in Hoosier-
dozen college basketball games are
on tap and the rah-rah boys and girls
are assured busy weekend.
Notre Danes high powered ma
chine will go flying into Franklin
Friday in an attempt to ride over the
Baptists. Which is a mighty hard
thing to do on Franklin's home floor.
But the Irish and Baptists will not
hog the limelight. De Paw and Wa
bash will have a little friendly affair
to settle down at Greencastle Friday.
1t is one of the annual rivalry settos
and it is a safe bet the Tigers and
Cavemen wouldn't think of hurting
the others feelings-much.
Six Other Games
Six other games will be pulled off
Friday in which Indiana teams will
play important parts.
Danville Normal will tangle up
with Paul Parker's Muncie outfit at
Muncie, Indiana Central will open it's
arms wide to greet Manchester in
the University Heights gym. The
Chesters are among the fast quintets
gracing Hoosierdom and Indiana Cen
trail hopes are not flying so high this
week. Nevertheless, it ought to be a
battle.
When the cheering has subsidized a
bit after the Shortridge Broad Ripple
High School tilt at the Armory, Fri
day, Butler will take possession of
the floor along with Michigan State
College and attempt to prove that
these Indiana teams are the classiest
things in the nation. Michigan State
(the Aggeis) defeated Marquette in
an overtime Struggle last Saturday.
Rose Poly will engage Earlham
in one game that is sure to at
colleges in the State. The battle
will be pulled off in Richmond. Hunt
ington will take on st. Mary's at
Orchard Lake. Evansville will be
one Of the gang to move out over
the boundary line, Evansville's Pur-
pie Aces taking a little jaunt to ST.
Louis to meet St. Louis. University.
Purdue VS.. Minnesota
Saturday evening Ward Lamberts
Purdue quintet will tackle Mime
sofa at Lafayette in what is the.
feature contest of the day. The
Gophers are anxious to get into the
Big Ten victory column while the
Boilermakers are resolved that they
shall not pass,'
Earlham will shake off the effects
of it's game with the Engineers and
move on to Hanover. Evansville
will start on the way back home,
stopping over at Lebanon, ILL.,, to
teach the Mckendree College quin-
tet the why's and wherefores
of Hoosier basketball. Huntington

alleys next Sunday afternoon. The
confidence Of the "old folks" leads
me to lean in their direction, but the
ability of the kids" to get the wood
when they need it is well known, so
all the dope this column can give is
the assurance that it will be a we'll
balanced, hard-fought match, worth
going to see.
The Grotto boys from st. Louis
are a confident bunch and their press
agent reports them as expecting to
win their matches here Saturday and
Sunday. Their record to date is 26

full showing, but the local boys say

scores as the season progresses and
have been showing games that men
are glad to get. Charles DIFFERING
thought he would have something
easy when he took on his wife for a

This total gives Mrs. DIFFERING an
average of 1856 S-5 pins for the series.

AVIATORS FORGED DOWN
 IN SNAKE.INFESTED LAND
Pilot and Continental Airways Head Wade Through Marsh Waters,
 In Struggle to Mainland.

New Orleans. Oct. 10.-lP-- James NJ. Patterson. pilot, and Don Howard, vice president Of the Cont,- mental Airways Express, were resting here today after a five hour struggle through marshlands near Raceland, La. following q forced landing Of their plane through lack of fuel.
 The plane was making a survey trip between Denver and New Or leans on q proposed commercial route.
 Taking off from Lake Charles yesterday morning, the fliers ran into head winds and were forced 10 descend when their fuel ran low. Tt was terrible in the marsh, % Howard said. We left our heavy | flying clothing in the plane, but even then it was a hard push through the cane brakes and thick marsh grass. Frequently we were obliged 10 wade in water nearly to our shoulders and the worst part was we did not know where we were ] going.
 We saw lots of snakes. which in no way added to our feeling of SC ourity. By following our shadows
 however, we came out upon the low i banks of q stream we later learned was Bayou Des Altemands where we were picked up by passing motor boat and taken into RaCeland.

A STATES RAISE
 TAX ON GASOLINE
47 COmmonWealthS Now Assess
 Motor Vehicle Operators

Hartford, Oct 10-While the 1927 legislature in Connecticut made no advance in the rate of the gasoline tax of two cents per gallon in this state, an analysis just completed by the department Of motor vehicles shows that the subject of the saso- line tax was an active one through out the states during the past year. Increases in the rate of gasoline tax were made in 4 states.
 Every state in the union today has 2 gasoline tax, with the exception of New York and Massachusetts. Until this year Illinois and New Jersey had no tax, but now both those states have adopted the two cent basis. Statistics show that the average tax rate Of all the states is tlroe and one-ffth cents per gal lon.
 Connecticut put the gasoline tav into operation in 1921, charging one cent per gallon. The legislature of 1925 increased this price 10 two cents. When the draft Of the Con- necticut gasoline tax law was madeA Oregon was the only state in the union which was collecting this tax. the tax collection in Oregon being based upon retail sales and the over head or cost of collecting the tax running very high. The Connecticut law was based upon the collection Of the tax from the wholesaler. and is today, either in whole or Tn part, the basis of tax collection in all the other states. Consequently, Connec ticut is considered the real pioneer in the present form of collection of gas tax.
 In 1919 in addition to Oregon the states of Colorado and North Dako- ta also collected a gasoline tax and in 1920 the state of Kentucky add cd this tax, all these states basins collection upon retail sales. The ra- pidity with which the states addol this tax is disclosed in the following table:
 1921-'13 states were collecting a gasoline tax.
 192o-19 states were collecting q gasoline tax.
 1923-35 states were collecting q gasoline tax.
 1924-S6 states were collecting a gasoline tax.
 1925-l5 states were collecting q gasoline tax.
 1926-45 states were collecting q gasoline tax.
 1927-47 states were collecting a gasoline tax.
 Included in the above list Is the District of Columbia which imposed a gasoline tax in 1924
 During the past year. out Of the 4 states including the District of Columbia, which collected a easo- line tax 23 states made no advance in the rate. Among this group is included Connecticut. Twenty-four states made advances from one-half cent to two cents per gallon. Two states, Illinois and New Jersey. which were without tax previously installed it, leaving two states, New York and Massachusetts which are now the only two which do not charge a fuel tax. Some Of the states made considerable increases in 1927, notably New Mexico, which raised it's rate from 10 cents per gallon, Alabama and Maryland which raised their rates from 2 to

RUSSELL SCOTT
 CHEATS GALLONS
Takes Own Life After Long
 Battle to Win Freedom

Chicago. Oct. 1n-lP-Russel Scott in death had become today q subject of interest 10 many who had evinced no interest in him alive Coroner Oscar Wolff said he had re- ceived many requests from alienists and medical schools Of universities for the brain of Scott, so that they might seek the secret that made Scott millonaire-and then kill CT
 The requests probably all will be denied, the coroner indicated The body which was found hanging from moose made of Scott's belt, probably will be turned over to his widow or his father for burial in De troit-the city in which he touched the peak of responsibility and pro- motional success with his Detroit Windsor bridge project.
 In the morgue. where they had taken him, a simple eulogy was spoken over Russell Scott yesterday by the wife who for three years worked 10 save him from the court sentence: To be hanged by the neck until dead.'
 The poor kid" were her only words for Scott, who took his own life by hanging in his jail cell Satur- day night.
 To her, the suicide of Russell |, the state to send him 10 his death for the murder of drug clerk in a. holdup three years ago, was not un- expected. He had hinted vaguely of destruction before, she said. In q letter he wrote her a week ago. Scott spoke feelingly of his earlier married life and their happiness to- gether. In closing he wrote
 "Please get down on your knees and ask for my forgiveness.
 In her visit with Scott few hours before his body was found. Mrs. Scott said her husband seemed more cheerful, and they made plans for reestablishing 2, home for their three children.
 During his years of imprisonment years in which he escaped the gal lows five times, once by a margin of only five hours-Scott has had two untiring fricnds-hls father and his wife. Only few hours before Scott took his own life there came to the jail a money order for so5 from the father-the largest single Contribu- ton he had yet been able to make to his son.
 Mrs. Scott's labors In her hus- bands behalf have been continuous and have included public appear ances and a public fast 10 obtain funds for scott's long legal war fare.
 ! NeWspapcrmcn at the Cook county ] jail today recalled that Scott's sui- 1 eide brought confirmation of a grim 1 prophecy once made by Dickie Loeb, who with Nathan Leopold. Jr, is ! serving a life sentence for the mur-
 der Of little Robbie Franks. So sure | was he that Scott Bernard Grant 1 himself would not he hanged, that 1 he offered to wager on 1t, or the three, two have met violent | deaths. Grant, youthful slayer of a l policeman. was stabbed 10 death in 1 jail by Walter Krauser. partner in l the staying. Krauser later killed 1 himself by setting fire to his l clothes. Scott hanged himself, and
 Loeb alone survives.
