Hurley Advocates
Inland WATERWAYS

vast system of inland waterways to
afford the middle west the same
cheap transportation new enjoyed
by coastal states was advocated by
Secretary of War Hurley today as
at least a partial solution of the
farm problem.
Speaking before the annual Ma
tional Rivers and HarborS congress,
Hurley called Mississippi river nav

portant undertaking. He did not
sight other developments. Many
he mentioned by name, including
the Great LakeS-St. Lawrence wat
erway, the Atlantic and Gulf IN
tracoaStal canals, the Cape Cod
canal. He stressed the Mississippi
work, however. as necessary to
development of the great inter-

SUNNYVALE TO
Be CHOSEN FOR
DIRLGIBLE BASE

WASHINGTON, Dec 9. W.P)-Se-
lection Of SunnyVale, Calf, as the
site for the navy's proposed new
$5,O000OO west coast airship base
appeared virtually certain today
With the sudden withdrawal of op-
position by Secretary of Navy
Adams.
Reversing previous recommended
tions in favor of Camp Kearney,
near San Diego, Adams yesterday
told the house naval affairs COM
mittee he preferred Sunnyvale,
near San Francisco. Admiral Will
liam V. Pratt, chief OF naval oper-
ations, concurred IN Adams rec
ommendation for Sunnyvale.
Bills for the establishment of the
base at both places are now before
the committee. One must be chos-
en- in committee before either bill
is reported out.
Adams took the position before
the committee that because there
already is so much heavier than
air activity in the San Diego area
it would be dangerous and III ad-
vised to establish a dirigible base
there.
Explaining the reversal Of his
recommendation last year in favor
of Camp Kearney, Adams said that
the views of the new chief of naval
operations, Admiral William V
Pratt, had affected him very
much"
Pratt. Assistant Secretary of Ali
ingalls,, and Rear Admiral Par
sons, chief of the bureau of yards
and docks, flew over the two sites
last summer and it was their un-
animous opinion that Sunnyvale,
near San Francisco, was better
strategically than Camp Kearney.
close to San Diego.
Bills TO establish a base at both
sites are now before congress and
early passage OF the one for con-
struction at SurnyvGle seemed as
Sured today.

DESERT VICTIM
IDENTIFIED AS
MEXICAN WORKER

Chicago, Oct, Il P}-Capt Hank
 Bruder got by his first football game of this season without injury, and Northwestern still is regarded as the team that much be beaten in the i Big Ten conference.
 Perhaps more so than ever, be- cause Bruder, called by Coach Dick Hanley the greatest back he has ever seen, gave his coach little cause to slip out back entrance. In the intersectional battle with Tulane university of New Orleans, Bruder dashed to two touchdowns, kicked goals for the extra points, and his long punts kept the southern boys constantly struggling to get out of their own territory.
 Wearing a jinX defying No. 13" on his jersey. Bruder played with an elan that made it hard to believe that up until this season a series of injuries kept him out of all cX- cept four games in his last two years of football
 The boys are saying louder that an injury must stop Bruder, if Northwestern is to be kept from a Big Ten title. It doesn't look like Illinois, Minnesota, Indiana or Wis consin will be able to. All of the teams included among Northwest crn's conference foes. except Wis consin, looked unimpressive on the same day that Bruder smashed down the strong Tulane team, 14-o.
 Though Bruder is the spearhead he doesn't comprise by long odds the entire strength of the purple. Northwestern has backfeld that averages around 1855 pounds, in- cluding Moore at right half, Rus sell at fullback and Lee Hanley calling signals.
 Up front is line spiced with eX- perienced players, the stoutest Of pound tackles, Reilly and Marvil
 The teams only apparent weak ness is the lack of an adequate sup ply of reserve linesmen.

 Norris Cagle, who seems to take after his brother in the matters of football and red hair. has enrolled in the Tulsa school, but is ineligible for this years team because he transferred from the Southwestern Louisiana Institute at Lafayette.
 He hopes, however, to play with the Tulsa eleven next year.
 The younger Cagle has distin- guished himself in practice with the regular squad and promises to be- come one of the main cogs of the 1881 machine.
