EXECUTIONER OF 14O
BLOWS OFF HIS HEAD
Former New York State ElectrOcu-
toner Who Had Snuffed Out Over
One Hundred Candles" Ends Own
Miserable Life With Army Cat.

Auburn, N. Y. Feb. 26-On Monday
the buried John Hubert, stopped,
nervous little man who executed 141
persons, including himself. The man
who retired at New York states exc
cutioner three years ago lugged his
.38 caliber army revolver into the eel
lar of his home here late Friday and
put one bullet through his cheast and
another through his head.
Strange stories sifted out about
this frail man who dealt so intimately
with death and yet stood in such fear
of it that he ate poison-proof food.
Courage and cowardice were blend
ed in Hubert; one minute he would
be sitting in the electric chair, pull
ing calmly at a 10c cigar and waiting
next instant, hand on the switch, he
would faint away at the thought of
taking human life.
81 wont be around long," the for
mer executioner told a neighbor re-
Gently.
CallOus at Times
At times Hubert seemed callous to
the horror of his official position. AT
one execution he threw in the switch
collected his fee of $3.50 and rode away
from the prison in the hearse carry
ing the condemned mans body in or.
der to save 1925 taxicab fare.
On execution days he moved by al
! unwavering schedule. The forenoon
was spent testing the dynamos in the
death house. At noon he ate in /;
nearby restaurant where he indulget
his only extravaganza giving o
lavish tips to the one waiter he woult
allow to serve him. Hubert paid tn
waiter we'll to see that no one had
chance to poison his food.
, His menu never varied: Away
! it was beefsteak with onions, pota
! toes, bread, butter and coffee. H
| considered such food hard to poison
' From the restaurant he would go t
r a moving picture show, the one d
: version in his life.
Q In 1913 Hubert succeeded Edwi
: F. Davis, inventor of the electri
q chair, as New York executioner. Fl
held the position until 1926.

GOOD GAMES ON CARD
Big Four of East Should
Win Easily.
BY DIXON STEWART
United Press STAFF Corresnondent


NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-SectionaI
football leaders today appeared
likely to maintain their positions
among the elite for another week
as most of them face supposedly
weaker opponents during the com
ing weekend.
However, no district will lack in
| tereSting games as in addition to
the chance Of leaders meeting an
upset, the schedule lists numerous
conflicts in which unusually we'll
matched teams will meet.
Yale, Pittsburgh, Cornell and
Pennsylvania-the big four of the
east-should win handily from their
respective riyals-Maryland, w. and
j., West Virginia and Penn State
although there is distinct chance
of an upset in every contest. Dart
mouth should take Brown into
camp, but one guess is as good as
another on the clash between Ford
ham and Boston college outfits.
Colgate Worried
Another game which promises fine
competition is the Detroit West Vir-
GINA battle at Morgantown. Detroit
was held to tie by Marquette last
week after winning nineteen con-
secutive games since 1927.
Colgate. defeated only by Wiscon-
sin, meets Columbia, and the Lions
fine showing against Cornell is caus-
ing Colgates coaches considerable
worry.
Notre Dame and Purdue, two of
the middle vests strongest teams,
expect little competition from Drake
and Mississippi, but Minnesota faces
its hardest test of the season with
Iowa. The Hawkeyes are anxious TO
repeat their last year victory and
avenge the defeats sustained at
MinneSota's hands in the three
previous years, and it would not be
surprising to see the Gophers drop
from the ranks of the undefeated.
Two Intersectionals
The Big Ten conferences two big
intersectional games, Michigan VS..
Harvard and Illinois VS. Army, ap-
pear destined to be triumphs for
the east, but conference teams have
a disconcerting habit of playing
their greatest football against east
ern schools. Two of the clashes be-
tween conference rivals, Chicago VS..
Wisconsin and Northwestern VS..
Ohio, also rate as even.
California, Stanford and Southern
California outclasS other Pacific
coast teams and should win handily
from Montana, Washington and Ne
vada.
Vanderbilt Favorite
In the Missouri Valley, Nebraska
will rest and Oklahoma plays Kan
sas. Utah, Rocky mountain leader,
should win handily from Colorado
college, and Tulane and Tennessee,
the south's rivals for honors, expect
little trouble from Alabama Poly and
Carson-Newman.
Alabama's game with Kentucky is
the outstanding contest of the day
in the south. Vanderbilt and Geor-
gia Tech should be another inter-
esting game with the former slight
favorite.

Back Injury
Ends Career
of Marsters
Dartmouth Star, Leading
U. S. Grid Scorer, Is Out
for Season.

HANOVER, N. H, Nov. E. - Al
MarsterS, Dartmouth's sensational
quarter back and one of 1925
greatest back field men. today faced
the realization he has played his
last intercollegiate football game.
Xray pictures have revealed that
MarsterS, senior, had sustained a
fracture of the right transverse
process at the third and fourth
lumbar vertebrae in the Yale game
Saturday. The injury, although not
expected to have permanent effect,
will keep the player in the college
inflrmary three or four weeks, it
was announced by DR.. John S. F.
Gle.
Certain All-American
MarsterS' injury ends his career
in the midst of his greatest sea-
son, The Dartmouth star, one of
the greatest players who ever wore a
Green jersey, leads the nation in
scoring with 108 points in six games
and was considered certain to win
all-America honors.
After a sensational debut in var
sity football during his sophomore
year, Special Delivery Az was kept
out Of action for the major part of
last season by an ankle injury.
Dartmouth's entire attack has
been built around the big quarter
back, and his absence will be a big
handicap in the remaining games
with Brown, Cornell and the Navy.
Also Track Star
Marsters has been letter man
in track during the last two sea-
sons, running the hurdle and relay
events.
Special radio arrangements are
being made to enable Marsters to
follow the Dartmouth eleven when
it plays away from home and DR..
Gle said today Marsters will be al
lowed to attend the Cornell game

condition warrants.

Welter Title Go With Fields
Chicago Believes MCLarnin Can Beat Champion; Mandel
Seeks Return Match With SIugger.

doing so defeated the man whom
middle western promoters were
trying to build up for a match with
Fields.
1t was believed that Mandell,
while he weights but slightly more
that the 135-pound lightweight
limit, could beat any man in the
welterweight division and it is safe
to say he still would be a favorite
to win from Fields.
But McLarnin decisively defeated
Sammy and for that reason Jimmy
believes he is entitled to cham
| pionship match with the Welter-
weight titleholder. The opinion pre-
walls here that McLarnin can beat
Fields.
Jimmy, a slugger who gives and
takes, certainly showed more ability
in the Mandell fight than Fields
ever has shown here Mandell had
beaten Fields before Jackie won the
147-pound title, and he was a rs
favorite to win from McLarnin, but
Jimmy upset the odds.
Fields won the welterweight title
by beating Joe Dundee, a washed
up" fighter who was at least an even
bet to lose to two or three of the
welterWeights.
Mandell, disappointed with his
loss Monday night Git was the first
time since preliminary days he ever
had seen an opponent win a de-
cision from HIM wants a return
match with McLarnin and in all
probability he will be obliged Sam

main go on the Legion fistic card
at the Armory next Tuesday.
Six bouts we're staged in the
Armory ring election night and
nearly every scrap was a battle.
Johnny Nassir, Terre Haute, and
George Nate, South Bend, made
the hit of the evening in their
eight-rounder, NasSir winning on
points during a heated struggle
that proved a sparring match
de luxe.
Nate Ahead in First
Nate smothered Nassir with glove,
in the first round, but set too fast
a pace and Nassir made a come
back that carried him to victory in
the long run. The lads were fast
willing and aggressive and the GUS
toners who enjoy real boxing got
the treat of the season.
Nassir lacks haynaker, but has
everything else, including GOODNESS

fighting like a couple of cats when
the bout ended.
In another eight-rounder Charlie
Court shaded Lon Lovelace in a

saw both punished, with Lovelace
stopping the more blows. Lon will
be hard to identify a year from
