"The subsoil is now packed, the

are practically excluded, and the
only way TO remedy this situation -
by breaking up and aerating the sub
soil. The deep tilling method does
this without bringing the unproduc-
tive subsoil to the surface. Ny ad-
vice would be to combine the use
OF the drainage tool with deep TIM

draining of the subsurface waters
and the aerRtion Of the soil TO a

interest in the drainage tool. and the

Tests with a sub-surfaee drain
age tool, which is being used extern
sively in drainage projects in Cali
f~ornia, are being considered by the
III Jardin irrigation district in con-
necti0n with ITS drainage program.
Drainage and soil experts, who
have made a study Of soil and drain
age conditions in California and the
Lower Rio Grande Valley, assert
that II the tool proves satisfactory
under Valley conditions il will revo-
lltionize drainage practices in the
lower section Of the Valley, especI-
ally ia the flight" land areas.
The tool which is designed 10
open channels or drain lines in
tight" land. is constructed upon the
same general principles rs the deep
filling tools now coming into gen
eral use throughout the Valley. II
is considerably heavier, weighing
approximately two tons, and the
standard penetrates the ground TO
= depth Of four feet. Every funct-
ion is the sane as that Of the deep
tiller with the exception that n ball
or mole" II attached back Of the
point. The "mole" is ordinarily from
6 20 s snehes in diameter and leaves
behind ~ a burrow or channel four
feet underground.
Tests in California have denom-
strated that in solid OF a cIayey ma
tuFe. these channels have remained
effective IN drainage for n numebr
Of years. performing practically the
same functions as tile drains.
Tests with the machine were first
made in California ten years ago,
and they have come into general use
wherever slight" soil prevails. In
the loose. sandy soils they have not
proved effective. as the drains clog
too readily. but in the heavier soils
they have proved very effective in
providing rapid drainage for water
logged lands.
l.. b. Ward. who introduced the
kieep tiilage method in the lower
a Of the Valley. recently called
the attention Of the directors Of the
Fl JRrdin district 20 the drainage
tool and suggested that one be Sc
cured for tests. After some CORES
pondence the manufacturers agreed 10
ship one 20 the Valley for this pur-
pose. providing the district would
pay the freight charges. Mr.. Ward
appeared before the board Of direct
ors Tuesday ard urged that the
manufacturers offer be accepted.
81 am confident that this tool will
solve the drainage problem for large
areas in FL Jardin and also through
out the entire lower section Of the
Valley" Mr.. Ward said. at has
proved very successful in California
where soil conditions are very SINH
lar to those obtained In this part OF
the Valley. The cost OF the under
ground channels through which the
water can be drained from slight"
land should not amount 20 more
than a dollar or two per acre. Y be-
iieve the use Of this tool would
bring practically every acre In this
district under cultivation in the
minimum OF time"
In GENERATING the drainage tool. the
drain lines are followed the same as
in putting down drain tile. the chan

It's Myles J. Lane who's prov ing the real scoring threat in Dartmouth's victories tbis sea- son. The Big Green team from Hanover has swept all opposi- tion aside very easily this sea son and appears to he as good as Dartmouth's great team of a few seasons ago. Lane, one of the best receivers of passes in collegiate football, also is fea- turing the Dartmouth victories
 by his excellent kicking, run ming and defensive play. If
 Yale expects to beat the Dart mouth eleven when they play, they will have to stop this young man who is leading the
 east in scoring points this year.

WALTER JOHNSON GOES ID NEWARK
Announces He Will Manage
 Team for Two Seasons

New York, Oct 27 UP)-Walter Johnson announced from Washing ton that he will manage the Newark International League club for the next two seasons, and that is New1 ark's good luck.
 If ever there was ball player for whom other ball players should play their heads of1- it IS Walter Johnson.
 There were opportunities for Johnson to bid himself into a man. agerial job in the major leagues, but apparently he has chosen to go 10 the minors.
 The International League is no great shakes, as baseball goes, but with a family to support Waiter naturally lets his pride take second place.
 Paul Block, who recently bought the Newark International League club, is q newspaper publisher. If Block of Newark has been able to beat the best offers of the major league clubs for Johnson's services, ii is a sign tEat the Big Train" has nothing to worry about for the next | two years.
 There Were 2 couple of major league clubs which would have been delighted to sign Waltsr as manager. Once he quit the Senator's, there was no doubt as to his ambition. At his Maryland home, the famous uitchor sad a fortnight ago that his ambition was to manage d ball club.
 Naturally. Johnson would have preferred to remain in the major leagues. He admitted as much. But the major league clubs which needed managers were notoriously pshort of cash. The Boston Braves, 1 for instance, who could have made excellent use of Johnson's namc, not 10 mention his baseball knowledge offered the Big Train S30,90o a year, and he refused. This indicates that Paul Block paid more, which apparently is Mr. I Blocks good fortune. Walter John- son is the one man capable of put ting not only the Newark ball club but the International League into the headlines.
 ' Walter has not yet signed with Newark. because all the major | league clubs have not signed waivers on him. When they do. and it is taken for granted that they will, in view of the Washington pitchers contributions to the game, Johnson will sign mp as playcr-manager of the Newark Bears

BOYS CLUB TEAM
 OF HIGH PROMISE
Coach Anderson Optimistic Season Will Open November 2S

I expect this years team to be as good as last years or even bet ter" is the optimistic opinion of Coach Ray Anderson of the Boys club basketball quintet in regard to it's prospects for the coming season which will open on Monday night, November 2S. Only one man of last years regular five has been lost, this being Henry KrasZewski, and there is yet a possibility that he may be with the team before long. All other veterans are back. and several younger boys have come along from last years reserve team and devel- oped into promising material for the "big" team.
 Nick Gill, last years captain, Is certain to be one of the forwards again this year, his left hook still re- taining it's devastating accuracy. Joe Goffa has been moved up from guard to forward to take KrasZewski' S place, and Walter Grusha, new man, is being groomed to act as substitute forward. John Kley, the towering center who starred all last winter, is faster and better in every way now than year ago. and there is no possibility of anyone else mak- ing the center position.
 Pete Silva, defensive guard for a number of seasons, will be at his old post in a majority of games. Working with him will be Albert Benjamin, star bacllcourt man of the Reserves last year and young play er of remarkable promise. They will be spelled off by John Red" Com pagnone. who explained the Reserves last winter. In games with other Boys clubs, where an age limit is fixed, Silva will be obliged to drop out. Anderson is still undecided about his action in these cases, but be will either send in Compagnone or else move Goffa back to guard and let Grusha fill in in the fore- court.
 About 25 candidates are competing for places on the Reserves, and nothing definite can be said at pres cut beyond the fact that the class of
 material is generally high. Ton Kerelciza, Jacob "Hoggo" Parparian, and Mrigliani are the leading can didates for forwards, Zujko and Joe Buchas are battling for center, and Carl Marholin and Tony Garro ap- pear to have the call as guards. There are many others who may show better stuff than these before the season opens.
 Although the opening date has been fixed, no opponent has been se- cured as yet. Superintendent Dwight Skinner and Coach Anderson are working on the schedule now, and hope to bring the fastest amateur teams in New England here for the regular Monday night games.

PRINCETON TEAM VERY GOOD
 BUT SLACLE RIPS LINE OPEN
Shows Varsity Some Tricks In Carrying Bal-Harvard Strengthening Defense - Penn State Anxious to Beat Lafayette e- Army Team Shifted - Columbia Ready For Cornell-Penn and Navy Clash Should Be Good One

r New York. Oct. 27 R-Prlnceton is still undefeated and untied among | the casts major football teams, but the followers of Old Nassau cannot help but ponder on how much bet ter Bill Roper's varsity would look with Jake Slagle. The Tiger has en- l gagged in four games this season and only Cornell has been able to cross the Princeton goal line. Yesterday Slagle, now backfield coach at Princeton, ran through the varsity in secret scrimmage for 4e yards and a touchdown. The All-American star of 1926 scored the only points of the game.
 Coach Roper is developing plays for the Ohio State game, which may account for the secrecy in the Tiger camp. No lineup change has been announced for the William and Mary game Saturday. Summer weather has slowed down workouts in the Yale camp. Tad Jones abandoned a scrimmage pro- gram yesterday and confined the schedule to running signals and dummy practice. Dartmouth's preparations for the Yale contest have been cut short by classroom examinations. Coach Jesse Hawley expressed dissatisfaction with pro- gress so far this week but admitted he had not planned heavy work in view of Dartmouth's last two hard games
 Harvard's defense is being tuned up for the Indiana invasion. Guar naccia has returned to the backfield after two weeks absence and Art French again is running the team at quarterback
 Penn will not call upon Paul Scull and Brill. backfield stars, in Saturdays game with Navy. Coach Lou Young had expected to use them but found they had not suf- ficiently improved from injuries.
 Four shifts have been made in the Army lineup for the game with Bucknell but the cadets, with their revised lineup, were able to put over one touchdown yesterday on the scrubs.
 Penn State, making ready for the Lafayetta game, scored four touch downs against it's second team. All the points were scored in less than 20 minutes.
 Columbia held it's last hard work out for the Cornell battle behind closed gates. Fred Rieger and Harry Jumpf, backfield stars, are still on the injured list and may not start Saturday. Coach Gilmour Dobie is worried about his guards and is us- ing several combinations at the posi- tions.
 New York University took a rest from scrmmage and went over Col gate plays in a long workout Chick Meehan's team is in tip-top condi- ton.
 Coach Lew Andreas was uncertain whether Capt. Barbuti would start in the Syracuse lineup against Nebraska as he left with his squad of 24 players for Lincoln. The Orange is scheduled to practice at Stagg Field. Chicago, this afternoon.

|b|G TEN GAMES
 IMPORTANT ONES
All Teams on Edge for Satur-
 days Contests

Chicago, Oct. 27 LP-Bear stories : abound today in the camps of Big Ten teams looking forward to Sat urday's conference games.
 Ohio State, shaken briskly by a
 disappointed and somewhat disgust
 ed alumni, was reported to be get
 ting angry enough to plough its way
 through almost any kind of opposi- ! tion.
 This condition at Columbus has
 not encouraged Coach Stagg at Chi
 cago. The Chicago eleven has been
 warned repeatedly throughout the
 week to look for lots of trouble
 when the starting whistle blows at Ohio State The Maroons figure that 1 Coach Wilce at Columbus, and the
 Ohio State team itself, will be war l ring as never before. to answer the i deluge of criticism that followed
 their defeat by Northwestern and l Michigan.
 ] Chicago has beaten Purdue and i Indiana of the conference and Penn sylvania of the east, but Stagg has 1 pointed out to his squad that those | three victories won't mean anything
 against Ohio.
 | Iowa, decisively shutout by Minne- sota last week, has a fortnight's lay
 off from Big Ten play. The team is
 being pointed to the Illinois game. Illinois, itself, with a one point
 victory over Northwestern as it's single performance in the Big Ten competition, looked ahead to Satur- days homecoming game at Urabana
 with the usual misgivings which characterize the llini whenever Michigan is the opposition. ! Two distinguished visitors saw Coach Zuppkes men work out yes terday-General Heye of the Ger. man army staff, and Tito Schipa, sweet singer of opera. Zuppke en- ployed the same lineup with which
 he had been working throughout
 the week. Michigan plays were demonstrated.
 At Ann Arbor emphasis was laid
 on two Quadruple threat men-Capt. Bennie Oosterbaan and Louis Gill i pert, bOtn LOOK turns at KlcklnR, ; passing. receiving and carrying the ! ball. It was this combination that scored Fl points to shutout Ohio last week. Oosterbaan passing to Gilbert for three touchdowns, and Gilbert kicking three points after touch- down.
 The Michigan line, about which l little has been said. is not going neg lected. It was put through a short drill in fundamentals last night. No i team has scored against Michigan
 this season.
 Coach Pat Page at Indiana picked three complete teams to take east with him for Saturdays game with Harvard. The Hoosiers are to reach Boston Friday afternoon. Wisconsin prepared for Minnesota | by drilling on place kicking. Coach Glenn ThistlethWaite indicated that he believed it possible d field goal or two might win from the sturdy Norsemen. A defense against the onslaughts of the plunging Herb boosting also is being developed.
