Wife Happy Over Fine;
 Eyens Her With Hubby

Evanston, Ill. Oct. 4 P>-Mrs. J. P. Sanger is happy. She has been fined for breaking the traf- tic laws.
 I'm guilty" she told Justice of the Peace Corcoran yesterday, "and l insist upon being fined. I simply will not take no for an answer. I positively insist"
 This is most strange" said the court. Why do you want to be fined"
 Because, she said, my hus- band was caught breaking traf- fic law, and he was fined. And ever since then he has been brag- ging about it. He thinks it's smart. He has been making life unbearable by claiming superb ority because of his brush with the law.
 Fine me. and I'll be even with , him and he'll have to keep quiet.
 "A most unique state Of af- fairs muttered the court Ana I shall fine you one dollar,

HARVARD ELEVEN
 HAS HIGH HOPES
Coach HorWen Has Veteran
 BaCkfeld to Work With

Cambridge, Mass, Sept. 22 P1 Full of confidence as a result of two consecutive victories over Yale, Head Coach Arnold Horween and his Har- yard football team have high hopes for another successful season.
 Probably the brightest phase Of the, crimson prospects is the veter- an backf1eld that is well schooled in the advantages derived from the ex- pert use of forward and lateral passes.
 Barry Wood, one of the greatest handlers of aerials in the game, is back for his second whirl at quar- terback, and he probably will have as his first string mates the fleet halfbacks, Eddie Mays and Charlie Devens, and rugged Bernie White at fullback.
 Vic Harding, who helped turn back Army last fall by catching one of Woods deceptive heaves in the closing minute of play, appears cer- tain to be one of the regular ends, now that Dick O'Connell and Jim Douglas have graduated.
 The Wood-Mays and Wood Hard ing passing combinations gave the liberal-minded Horween a welcome opportunity to open up the Harvard attack much wider than he has been able to do since he took command four seasons ago. His lateral pass Is almost unbeatable for it functions best when every member of the op- position carries out his assignment to the last degree, and he has sound ideas on the further improvement of his fool-proof forward passing plays.
 Horween also has a second back field of no mean ability consisting of Roger Gleason, Arthur Huguley, Jack Cichard and Joe Schereschew- ski. There are plenty of replace ments, such as Sam Batch >lder, Eu- gene Record. Paul Tullam, Dana Greeley, Ralph Coburn and Jim Leonard.
 The Crimson lost it's varsity tackles and ends, but there is ShOu6l pI ildlcl ldl &'i ildllu to reduce the problems of Line Coach Duke" Dunn to a minimum. Captain Ben Ticknor, All American center last season, and John Train CT and George Talbot, regular ends, furnish fine nucleus for the line and the ends and tackles will be selected from 1929 substitutes. With three good understudies at center, Gildea, Richards and Cunningham, there is a possibility that Ticknor may be shifted to tackle, position he plays equally well.
 The schedule:
 Oct. 1, Vermont; II, Springfield: : IS, Army: 25, Dartmouth; Nov. 1, William and Mary: 8, Michigan r5, Holy Cross; 22. Yale at New Haven.

Manager of Athletics is Perturbed Over Condition of George Earn shaw, His Pitcher.

 He has some misgiving about his pitching staff and is particularly worried about George Earnshaw.
 If l had one more pitcher I mean one more dependable pitcher" Mack said today, T think I'd be all right. I'm particularly worried about Earnshaw. George hasn't looked himself in the last few starts, and in addition he hasn't recovered from being struck on the knee with a batted ball.
 This series is going to be a mighty tough one for us to win. St. Louis must have great ball club. They were 12 games behind on Aug ust 9-that shows how good they are.

MEYER IS INJURED
Leading Point Scorer on Gridiron Last Season Is Probably Removed From 1880 Picture.

Knoxville, Tenn. Sept. 2S P- The nations leading scorer last sea son, Eugene McEver, speedy Ten nessee back, apparently has been removed from the 1880 football pie ture by injuries.
 Scrimmaging yesterday, the gal loping ghost, who rolled up 130 points on Dixie gridirons, again hurt a knee which was twisted in spring baseball game. McEver was carried from the field and after an examination Major Bob Neyland, head coach. said he probably would Hay off, for the season of 1880 in order that his eligibility might not be questioned upon his return to the team next year.
 McEver and his backfield partner, Buddy Hackman, sprang into prom thence in 1928 as Hack and Mack" the sophomore sensations of the south. His loss will be a heavy blow to the offensive strength of the Tennessee team, but his injuries have been a subject of speculation for weeks and another backfield combination drilled for eventualities. The revamped quartet includes Hackman and Paul Heydrick of Charleston, W. Va, who is filling McEver's berth.
