CLAIMED BY DEATH

was connected with the Naval Proving

II was from 1910-1912, while hurting
for the crack Post Once team of the
Departmental League, that Ferguson
attained particular prominence. Despite
that he was on the firing line for his
nine virtually every game throughout
this period he was never defeated. 1t
was largely through his flinging that

Departmental League flag, went on to
win the city title. Norman Kraft, an
other well known former amateur ball
tosser here, caught Ferguson during
those years.
In addition to the Post once team
Ferguson pitched at various times with

Freak Grid Lineup

BY SOL METzGER.

Rarely do strong foot ball elevens
depart from the orthodox defensive
formations shown in yesterdays ar

uses something in the way of
freak lineup, such as Michigan's
old spread play or the three-men
out lineup Princeton learned from
West Virginia.
Defense is so set in its ways that
oddities in 1t meet with odd results.

CLASH IS PUzLER
Undefeated Teams of Last
Year Still Winning-Big
Games on Saturday.

BY the Associated Press.
n YEW YORK, october 10. - The
season of heavy schedules for
Eastern college foot ball teams
4 begins in earnest Saturday.
On a strictly Eastern basis,
the least certain game Is that between
two of last years undefeated teams,
Boston College and Villanova, which
are still going strong this season.
Pittsburgh has a good chance to
avenge last years 9-6 defeat by West
Virginia.
Fordham's prospects Of victory over
New York University are not so bright
N. Y. u. has lost several leading lights
of last years victorious team, but
plenty of strength remains.
The Nebraska Syracuse battle prom
ises to be one of the most exciting OF
the weeks intersectional clashes. Their
last six battles have brought three
victories apiece.
Yale jumps from the first game right
into the middle Of hard season with
It's pilgrimage to Georgia. After re-
turning the Ellis must meet Brown,
Army and Dartmouth in succession
with Maryland as the only possible rest
before tackling Princeton and Harvard.
Princeton tackles Brown for the first
time In quarter of q century, then
goes on to meet Cornell, Navy and
Chicago. Harvard has comparatively
easy opponent in New Hampshire be-
fore moving into schedule as hard as
any of them.
Navy has the rather doubtful honor
of entertaining Notre Dame in the
leading intersectional game of the week,
but the Midshipmen have q few COM
paratively soft spots on their card.
Army continues its tuning up against
Davidson, but goes from there into one
of the longest and toughest schedules
of them all.
Columbia, Dartmouth, Lafayette, Car
negie Tech and Penn State remain in
the early game stage with opponents
which should give them little trouble.
Colgate may have a battle on its
hands with Michigan State.

tions. Other cities mentioned were

POSTMASTERS GO
TO CONVENTION

Mr. and Mrs. E. j. Steinbring of
Markville. Mr.. and Mrs. E. B. Linsley
of Willow River, Mrs. Lena Edstrom
of Sandstone, and e r. Woodbeck of
Brook Park were the postmasters of
Pine county who attended the twen-
tieth annual convention of the Mime
sofa division of the National League
of District Postmasters which took
place at st. Cloud last week. Among
other things the convention urged that
third and fourth class postmasters be
included in the civil service depart
ment instead of being presidential ap-
pOintees as at present. 1t was brought
out that the arrangement at the pres
ent, subjects these postmasters to the
political liability of the congressman,
who lose their power whenever the
government of the country is in the
hands of new political party. The
new arrangement (the civil service)
would permit the postmasters to have
a vacation, such as their employees
get, and would make them eligible for
the retirement fund and pension serv-
ice.
Many nationally known speakers ad-
dressed the gathering of approximate
ly 100 postmasters from over the state
at the convention.

CREAMERY PATRONS
AT MARKVILLE PICNIC

The Markville Cooperative cream
cry had an enjoyable picnic at River
side park Saturday afternoon, though
the rain in the middle of the after
noon chopped it short alittle. Picnic
lunch was enjoyed at noon followed by
several short talks. Art RentZ, field
man for District No. 2, Land O'Lakes,
spoke on the organization, the bust
ness done, etc., County Agent w. F.
Hammargren discussed herd improve
ment, and Aleis p. Kimlinger, the
local buttermaker, dwelt on the care
of cream on the farm. A baseball
game between Markville and River
side was cut short in the fourth in
ming when the rain started. Mark
vile was leading at the time.
Though only three or four years
old the Markville creamery is well
established and is going right ahead.
1t is now 5000 pounds of butter ahead
in production over last year at this
same time. In 1928 it paid to patrons
$60,198.06, and the institution is a
good asset to the community.
