the boys to go out and play as if they

In the first quarter Illinois scored
two touchdowns, one by a 45-yard
march down the field and the other
by a 50-yard run on an intercepted
pass by Kraft.
The Minneapolis Tribune said: "Illi-

Different Ways to Keep

Alcohol still holds the lead as the

Another Hoppe Soon to
Be in the Billiard World

There will soon be another Hoppe
in billiard competition. William F.
Hoppe, Jr., thirteen-year-old son of
the balkline and three-cushion star,
has decided that he likes billiards well
enough to adopt it for career.
Just last week Young Willie re-
turned from his vacation in the Cats
kills and promptly became one of his
fathers pupils in New York.
Willie Hoppe, Sr., now forty-four
years old, started his career at the
age of four. At the age of twelve he
was beating state champions and at
eighteen he won the worlds 1S.1 balk-
line championship from Maurice Wig
naux in Paris. Young Willie, how
ever, is not as far advanced as his
father was at thirteen years. But Will

Passes Are Not Permitted
to World Series Contests

Perhaps the only major sport affair
in which there is 10 loss through the
pass graft is the worlds series. There
is an alright prohibition against the
issuance of free tickets to worlds Sc
ries games. No one not on duty at the
games can gain admission through
pass.
There is just one ticket that is un-
paid for-Commissioner Kenesaw NJ.
Lands gets that one. AS the series
is conducted under his jurisdiction,
even this may be construed as work
ing pass.
If Sam Breadon wants to view his
own series game, he puts up the price
of his box seat If the President of
the United States views a contest,
somebody has put up the cash to pay
for that ticket. Newspapers share the
same fate as the public and get their
tickets by allotment the same as the
public and for the same price.
Many promoters have tried in vain
to free their shows of the tremendous
burden of free admissions that must
be circulated among politicians or

ing iayer where such a layer is not
desired. 1t is very difficult to remove
and short circuits caused by it are
hard to find because they disappear
when the engine gets hot.
Honey and glucose are found un
satisfactory in that high percentage
solution is required to prevent freez

slowly. There is danger also of de
posting sugar from them in the cir
culating system. Low percentage
solutions do not lower the freezing
point to any great extent, but they do
prevent bursting of the radiators
When such solution freezes it turns
first to a slush which must be cooled
to a considerably lower temperature
before it turns solid. The liquid.

The proposal, or at least the desire,
to have state of this Union named
Lincoln is again revived, but will
doubtless prove as futile as former
suggestions to that end. Even were
the creation of state of Lincoln pos
sible, its desirability would be open
to serious doubt. 1t is by no means
uniting that a state now bears the
name of Washington; for that name
stands unique in our history as that
of the President who belonged to no
party nor section, but uniformly to
the entire country of which he was
well called the father. No other
President, nor any man, not even
Lincoln, attained that solitary emf
nence. Perhaps the one who fell the
least far short of it was Franklin; but
even so there is reason to be glad that
the short-lived and unauthorized state
of Franklin passed from our map and
roster-if. indeed, 1t was Franklin
and not Frankland. as some authori-

Chief causes for hard starting in
