OFFICIALS HOLD
court DECISION
PERMITS CHARGE
Must Earn 8 Per Cent
Or Bust

Not a seven, but ten-cent fare is
in prospect for over eight millions of
subway riders who daily crowd and
crush into the dismal tunnels which
the city has built, which the workers
pay for and from which the feudal
traction barons wiring their tribute.
Well Satisfied.
Officials of the Interborough Rapid
Transit Company yesterday expressed
their extreme qualification at the de-
cision of the statutory court of three
Judges which holds that an 8 per cent
return on the total valuation of the
company's lines would be about the
right thing for the impoverished com
pany on the brink of bankruptcy so
many times in the past-in the press
at least. To realize this much to be
desired per cent at least 10-cent
fare will be necessary. officials Of the
company declared. They were like
wise not averse to limiting that they
would apply for the 10-cent fare.
Still More Needed.
They did not indicate, however, that
to earn an 8 per cent return on ''total
valuation" of their lines as now CAPT
talized would require perhaps a Is
cent fare inasmuch as some S200,000,-
600 or more of this valuation" is a
mixture compounded of Atlantic
Ocean and Hudson River water The
subway. * ntracts responsible for this
situation were put over by the Tam
many machine in 1913.
In the meantime, officials of the
company announced that no attempt
would be made to put the fare in
crease into force in the immediate fu-
ture. Those who profess to have ''in-
side" information declared yesterday
that October 1 is the date set by the
company for the establishment of the
fare increase. If this is true, it
means that the traction barons still
have some concession which they wish
to wiring from the ordinarily obedient
democratic machine before election
and intend to use October 1 as a
club. The original plan, which was to
grant the increase after election has
been somewhat upset by the desire of
the traction interests to make sure
that Al. Smith, their candidate.
"comes across" before election lest he
hold up his friends too energetically
after November.
Active preparations for city-wide
campaign to fight the fare steal were
launched by the Workers (Commu-
nist) Party, district 2. Mass meet
ings will be held throughout every
part of the city. The first of these

FIGHT FOR BIG TEN

HaWkeye-Badger Clash May
Be Battle of Powerful
Forward Walls.

consin and Iowa. two erstwhile
underdogs of foot oall who
~ would be kings, cross gridiron
trails at Iowa City Saturday
and to the victor may go the Big Ten
championship for 1923.
The combat between these two power
full elevens, which haven't won a Big
Ten foot ball crown in years. Is the
blue ribbon feature of this weeks con-
ference program. The largest crowd
ever to see a foot ball game in Iowa
is expected to watch it.
Employing a brilliant aerial and run
ming attack, the BadgerS and Hawkeyes
rest undefeated on the pinnacle of the
conference percentage column. Iowa
has a better conference record than
Wisconsin as the Badgers were tied by
Purdue, while the Hawks have won all
their games.
Last Saturday, Iowa stamped itself as
one of the best teams to wear the Old
Gold by whipping Ohio State, IA to Z.
at Columbus and bringing its team
scoring record to 140 for six games
Wisconsin showed impressive form, too,
while smothering a much weaker OPP
ponent, Chicago, rs to 0, to keep in the
race.
Iowa Line Strong.
Iowa's edge in Saturdays battle lies
In its forward wall. Against Ohio State
and Minnesota, the Hawk line displayed
crushing attack and through it Iowa's
star ball luggers, led by MayeS McLain
and Willis Glasgow, made 306 yards.
as against Ill for the Buckeyes.
In McLain, ponderous Cherokee In
dian, Iowa has wide edge on full
backs. McLain, who led the Nations
stars in scoring while playing with the
Haskell Indians in 1926, has been good
for two or three yards almost every
time they were needed this season.
With such a coterie of backs as Bo
Cuisiner, Hal Smith, Bill Lusby and
Sammy Behr and a line that Badger
supporters claim is second to none in
the Conference, Wisconsin is a dan
gerouS team Under the tutelage OF
Coach Glen Thtstlethwaite, the Badgers
have developed a beautiful passing
game, which has moved down teams
like Notre Dame, Alabama and Mich
igan. In punting, Wisconsin has Lusby,
who averages close to so yards and who
has sent several kicks for 65 and 10
yards.
Rough Road for Rivals.
Both Iowa and Wisconsin have other
hard games ahead of them and the
possibility is strong that the race for
the championship may end in a triple
or quadruple tie. Iowa must beat Wis
conSin and Michigan, while Wisconsin
must defeat Iowa and Minnesota.
Six other games, two of them Con-
ference clashes. will be played Saturday.
In the Conference scramble. Illinois in
vades Chicago and Northwestern
journeys to Indiana. Other games of
lesser importance are Haskell at Min
nesota, Michigan State at Michigan,
Muskingum at Ohio State and Wabash
at Purdue.
Iowa's defeat of Ohio State was the
high light of last Saturdays skirmishes,
while other games played close to pre-
dictions.
Wisconsin breezed through to a 25-to-
triumph over Chicago: Minnesota de-
feated Indiana. 81 to IL; Northwestern

sparkling bit of work to help Hoboes
sweep the set with Commercials. Hazel

total for the set. Her teammates, Irene
Mischou and Elsie Fischer also were in
form, the former scoring a splendid
127 in the second tilt, while the latter
garnered 800 set, with high game at
113. Virginia Yarnell of the losers reg
istered a pretty 100 in her second eff

Mary Cox of Hilltoppers was another
outstanding performer. Mary made
five successive spares in the second

she totaled $50 for the string. Hilltop
pers copped two from Amazons with
Gail Robbins shooting 1872 and 306
