unusually well versed in the law. At the same time he is an outdoor man and . devotee of sports. He arises at s o'clock most mornings, rarely later than 6 and goes walking, horse- back riding or swimming. He loves baseball, which he learned on the Texas border. and does everything he can, officially and personally. to encourage baseball, football, tennis and all outdoor sports.
 Although as governor of Tamault- pas he established partial prohibi- tion in that state he does not in- dulge the dream of making Mexico dry because he is convinced 1t would be . quixotic undertaking, impossible now of accomplishment. What he did in Tamaulipas was to close all srosseries in villages and in the country. Saloons continued open in towns and cities. because public sentiment in the centers was against prohibition. Portes Gil Is a realist. He accepted the situation. Since all he could do was to close cantinas that was all he tried to do. Also he stopped everywhere in the state the open operation of gambling houses.
 He increased the number of schools. in Tamaulipas. and estab- lished . state-supported industrial school for indigent childern. the first in Mexico. It cost 6o0,ooo pesos and has capacity for 500 chil- dren. He founded a state agricul- tural school, and had enacted legis- lation intended to improve living and working conditions of industrial em- ployes and to promote the govern ment distribution of land to small farmers.
 Portes Gil was born in Ciudad Victoria, capital of Tamaulipas, in 1891. He is married and has one child. He was elected to the national congress in 1917, and served four terms. In 1920 he was provisional governor of Tamaulipas for six months. In 1924 he was elected governor for . four-year term. He has several times held civilian legal posts in the war department. and was an official of the department of justice of the state of Sonora while

coach at his alma mater, Dartmouth,
in 1917, but Cavanaugh resigned the
head coaching job and it was pretty

coach until 1919. He had a great year
in 1920 and then went to West Vir-

team famous. This is his fourth sea-

unusually hard fought.
Eddie Brownfield, fast back, and
Draper, Cook, Webb, Greve, Cox and

ssMass on Tackle"
Pitts Strong Play

Every winning foot ball eleven has
as its strongest play mass on
tackle. There are dozen different
varieties. One that has worked for
tremendous gains Is that perfected
by Jock Sutherland at Pitt, q play
tha& was a whale last Fall and Is
going as strong this season.
The Syracuse team must stop 1t
this Saturday when 1t meets Pitt on
the latter's field or take a drubbing,
for once this play begins making
ground the Jig Is up.
Coach Sutherland's version Of the
ofr-tackle play differs from others
in that the end on the long side, No.
8 in the diagram, does not attempt
to take the defensive left tackle.
Instead he smashes in to help stop
the guard. The tackle is boxed by
the No. 4 back driving him in, as
he charges across to the No. S lines
man, who bowls him over.
Jock also assigns but one back,
No. 3, to take the defensive end.
The ball is snapped to No. /, who
fakes an end run, led by back No. 2.
AS No. 3 smashes the end out, Nos.
2 and cut in off tackle, with lines
man No. 6 leading. End No.
bumps the other defensive tackle
and then breaks through to cut down
q back.

with two wins, one tie and no defeats
apiece Marions defeated Petworths, z
to 0, in the only other match listed.
After being held to 6-6 draw in the
first period, Northerns came back with
surprising power in the second session
to count 25 points and coast to their
easy victory loves 75-yard run for
the victors was the big feature.
Smith and Mooney did the scoring
for Mardfeldts, who generally outplayed
CarliSles.
A 55-yard run to score by Van Horn,
who picked up blocked kick, gave
Notre Dame the points it needed to
tie Palace Props. Healy scored Palaces
touchdown in the first period.
Recovering blocked kick, Gardener
picked the ball up and counted the
touchdown that gave Brooklands their
