Georgia eleven has good chance for
victory, but that Mississippi is in for q
rough time of 1t. Georgia has been do
ing enough to indicate that its chances
against New York University should not
be any worse than even, while MiSSis-
sippi has done nothing to show that 1t
has any chance whatsoever against
Purdue, which seems to be about the
strongest team in the Western Confer
ence.
While Yale is meeting the University
of Maryland, Princeton will be playing
Lehigh and Harvard facing Michigan.
The Tigers have been rowing through
some rough waters and things, gener-
ally speaking, have not been breaking
so well for them. They may have more
trouble disposing of the South Bethle-
hem school than they expected when
they scheduled the contest. II Mich
igan and Harvard had won all their
games; If Michigan had not already
been defeated by three Western Confer
ence elevens; If Harvard had not suf-
fered that one-sided defeat at the hands
of Dartmouth, then the game would
have almost Nationwide interest. OF
course, it will have that in q measure
anyway, as Harvard and Michigan peo-
pie cover the country pretty well. There
are few hooks and crannies of the
United States in which men who have
been to one or the other Of the two
universities cannot be found.
Army also is playing at Illinois
under almost the same conditions. The
West Pointers, beaten by Yale, and
Illinois, defeated in the Western Con-
ference, do not attract nearly the in
terest they would If neither had been
whipped. OF course. this contest, as
well as the one at Michigan, will I'LL
the big stadium, because plenty Of peo-
pie out in Illinois are anxious to see
Army play.
If Vanderbilt beats Georgia Tech to-
morrow it will meet Tennessee In the
contest which probably viii decide the
Southern championship. Vanderbilt
has come along much more rapidly this
Fall than it expected and now findS
itself on the verge Of title. The only
defeat sustained so far by Vanderbilt
is one at Minnesota.

NEBRASKA TOWN BANS
FOOT BALL AT NIGHT

LINCOLN, Nebr.. November 8 CP).-
Night foot ball, gaining in popularity
throughout the country, is "out" as far
as Lincolns high schools are concerned.
The Board of Education has declared a
ban on after-dark games, following q
report from Supt. M. G. Letter, which
said:
There probably is question as to
whether the assembly Of large numbers
of adolescent children under cover of
night is conducive to the moral control
which q body like the Board of Educa-
ton is willing to assume"

PREP GRID LEADER
HARD TO PICK NOW
More Games Must Be Played
in Order to Get Real
Line on Teams.

w YITH the foot ball season now
IA more than half over rather
wv good line as to the COM
parative strength of District
scholastic elevens can be
had.
In the public high school group it
is the general opinion that Tech, which
has virtually clinched the championship
for the second season in a row, is the
cream, though there are many who be-
lieve the edge the Mckinley team holds
over Central and Eastern is small. In
the last analysis, however, the Tech
eleven's alert and smart play gives it
the call.
Determining supremacy in the prep
school group is, however, proving a
harder job. Most of the teams in this
division are stronger than usual this
Fall and not enough games so far have
been played to furnish reliable index
as to comparative strength.
Emerson, Dewitt, GonZaga and st.
Johns all boast capable elevens. The
teams representing Woodward, st.
Adams and Landon, are handicapped
by lack of heavy and experienced play
ers. The surprise of the group is st.
Johns. So far as foot ball is concerned
the Vermont avenue school has been
rather decidedly in the background in
recent years but this Fall under the
tutelage of Paulie Byrne, former
Georgetown and Loyola Stalwart, a
highly capable team has been developed.
Though many of the most attractive
games have been played host of others
of more than usual interest are to be
played by the scholastic foot ballers
before they will be ready to call it a
season.
Here is a list of some of the more
important games yet to be played:

Mr.. Chudwell retreated to the sidelines
to watch.
Well" he said presently, "why don't
they go ahead and dancer"
"They are dancing" said his WIFE,
That is minuet. Don't you think We
might try it?"
Mr.. Chudwell was hesitant about be-

didn't know what to do next, he would
bob, and Mrs. Caldwell would curtsey;
then they would start over again.

GINJOW know why the men always
~ do SO much bowling In these
cld-fashioned Dances" said Mr.. Chud-
well, pausing midway in his seventeenth
Salaam to give nautical hitch to his
hosiery. 'They are looking to make sure
that their stockings haven't come down"
Following the dance, refreshments
were served. The men, sweltering in
their costumes, rallied around the punch
bowl and left the ice cream and cake to
the ladies' AS the husband of the chair
man OF the entertainment committee,
Mr.. Chudwell had been delegated to
provide the punch, and he had done so,
with the help Of a certain Mr.. Squatti,
who ran a SpeakeaSy. The Squatti
establishment was operated on liberal
basis; you could drink your liquor there
or you could take 1t home with you;
sometimes, If you had strong constitu-
ton, you could do both.
BY the time the last of the refresh
ments had been consumed, the Colonial
ball had become semi Colonial and ex-
clamatory. The pageant, which was to
have been the climax OF the evenings
entertainment, degenerated from the
historical to the hysterical and finally
had to be abandoned altogether, owing
to the sudden indisposition OF several
OF the leading characters.
But Mr.. Chudwell, filled with punch
and patriotic fervor, staged an I'M
promptu tableau for the benefit of Mrs.
Chudwell and the other ladies. 1t was
entitled "a New Declaration of indie
pendence." Gathering the men about
him in the center of the room, he pro-
duced an impressive docking scroll of
paper and read:
when in the course of social events
1t becomes necessary for men to cast
off the garments of twentieth century
civilization and to assume the grotesque
habilimentS of q bygone generation,
decent respect to public opinion re-
quires that they should declare the
causes which impel them to protest
against this change.

evident; that all men are not created
equal, that some are endowed with
bowed legs, others with knobby knees
and Others with shanks resembling cur
tain rods. That to cover these defects
and to insure freedom from embarrass-
ment long trousers have been worn by
men ever since any of us can remember.

Teaching First Aid.

THE safety and first-aid instruction
being given by the safety division
of the United States Bureau Of Mines
is winning the interest and support OF
the petroleum and natural gas interests,
as the value of the work Is being recog-
nized. A complete course has recently
been completed in Indiana, where more
than 1000 oil company employees have
been taught how to save life in case OF
accident and how to take precautions to
avoid accidents.
A typical case Of the value of the
work is reported from Colorado. where
an oil well has been blown in with lao

cided to lower the casing of the well

workman who was sent to the der
rick to give the final touches to the
placing OF the casing completed his
work, but as he reached the edge Of the
derrick platform he collapsed.
Another workman, who had taken the
tirSt-aid work, rushed to him and found
that he had stopped breathing. He be-
gan at once to give artificial respiration.
After more than 20 minutes, during
which the victim showed no signs of
life, he began slowly to breathe and
finally regained consciousness before the
arrival Of the doctor. The doctor de-
clared, after examination, that the VIC
tim would have been dead 10 minutes
after his collapse If he had not received
the first-aid treatment, as his heart
muscles had become paralyZed.
