zUPPKE LIKES
CHANCESOF
BUCKEYES
BY BOB ZUPPKE
illinois u. Coach


Northwestern can be prevented
only by q miracle from winning
the Big Ten football champion
ship its great team richly de-
serves. Northwestern plays 1ndi'
ana this week and Iowa next.
For either Of these teams to beat
Northwestern would be the worst
kind Of an upset.
Interest in the Big Ten now
is in the struggle for rankings.
The most important game from
that standpoint is Ohio State and
Wisconsin. I have seen both
teams in action and believe Ohio
State should win because the
Buckeye backs are more elusive
and stretch their gains. The
lines should be about a stand.
off. Both teams play the same
style of offense, the double wing.
back.
I look for an even game be-
tween Chicago and Illinois, al
though I am afraid Chicago'S
line will be stronger.
Personnel Is Superior
Last year Michigan State
played 0toO tie with Mich
igan and will be keyed to a
high pitch. Last week State
scored 100 points against Ripon,
but a game like this is Of no
value in. preparing q team-in
fact it is detrimental. Mich.
igan's personnel is superior to
States and should wear it Gown
eventually.
Iowa will battle desperately but
probably ineffectively against
Purdue. The Boilermaker backs
should be far superior to the
Hawkeye ball-carriers.
Navy is outclassed by Notre
Dame. They have so much po-
tential strength at South Bend it
must be job to get it all out
and in action. Don't think it
doesn't take good coaching and
executive ability to handle great
squad. OF course Hunk" Ander-
son isn't compelled to be shifting
ends and fullbacks to tackle posi-
tionS at the fag-end OF the sea-
son. as some of us must, but just
the same he must be deing o good
piece Of work.
Feature Of Big Six
The big game in the Missouri
Valley is Nebraska against Kan
sas Aggies at Manhattan. The AZ
TieS took an unexpected defeat
from the surprise team Of the Val.
lev Iowa state. Nebraska hasn't
shown much power this season.
aIthouah undefoated in the Big
Six. Anything may happen IN Cnls ny
contest although I'll guess NC
Oklahoma and Missouri is full
nf uncertainty. Oklahoma mas
the better record but Missouri
showed something in the second
half against Drake, and propaply
has a good chance to win its flrst
conference victory. washington
q has not been clicking ana
should succumh to Kansas.
one of the most interesting
games in the East is Cornell at
Dartmouth and / have a huncn
Cornell; will take this one. When
Gil Dobie has any kind OF ma
terial, he's hard to beat and 1t
looks as if he is better fixed than
has been the situation at Ithaca
for some time.
FavOrs Pitt Over Army
Fordham and New York U
should have a great struggle In
which anything may happen, but
INV guess is Fordhar1. Pitt. l
think, will win out over Army but
this may be a tight one and an
Army victory would not be a sur
prise.
Another close one is likely to
be Colgate and Syracuse but I
think Colgate WHY take it. Barry
Wood is an ace in a hole and
may spell the difference between
Holy Cross and Harvard.

Magic Powers.
(NeW York World.)

In India there has just died one James Bran don, said to have been a native of Tennessee but long since removed from there and in the last few years grown rich magic healer in a land where magic headers to be found every crossroad. At the coroners inquest the evidence indicated that he had died of grief. What he had lost however, was nothing human, but pair of spectacles which he thought enabled him to see into people and determine what was the matter with them Short ly before his death they had been stolen from him by party of boys.
 This it seems to us, is a most Illuminating piece nary picture of him, is mercenary sort of chara- tan aware all the time that he is fake but determined to prey on the gullible just the same for the money there is in it for him. But here was at least magic healer who believed his own stuff So far he was concerned, he did have magic powers and when the source of those powers was gone he a broken man. To that extent he was sincere. So, suspects, with many of his colleagues Even palmist, astrooger reader of tea leaves, probably believes that after all allowance is made for the trickery employed to impress the clients there is a reSiduum of val idity to the hokum that makes it worth all that is paid for it. and more
 Here, of course, is the secret of the appeal of these gentry, and for that matter of their very near relatives the various fanatics philosophers and political headers who would apply magic to society itself and cure it of what ails it. They sincere and there is nothing that inspires confidence so much sincerity, and there is nothing so diff ficult to fake. So that it is small wonder that MT. James Brandon able to remit 5000 rupees monthly from India.

COAST GUARD LIVES UP TO
 TRADITIONS.

In his annual report last month, the Command ant of the United States Coast Guard cited among other accomplishments for 1930 that the Guard rescued from danger or saved the lives of 6,004 persons extended aid to about 3300O other individ- uals board vessels, provided miscellaneous help for 5960 persons and destroyed 233 derelicts and other Instructions dangerous to navigation in coastal waters Its shore stations sheltered persons lost stormbound its personnel aided injured, battled for est fires and recovered lost children for their parents.
 This is, indeed, splendid organization and it's record for achievement is written lastingy into the nations history. If it has a particular piece of work to do no matter how dsagreeabe, it goes about 1t in a businesslike manner It isn't bothered about whether the job lies in it's jurisdiction or that of some other branch of Government service It is enough for it to know that the work is to be done Last year, for many before it, the Coast Guard apparently lived fully up to it's glorious traditions.

 substance of the ingredients of a substandard fluid extract of ginger made and sold for beverage purposes probably will never be known unless confession is obtained from the persons responsible It seems reasonable, however, to suppose it was used on account of it's physical or other proper ties which make it difficult to distinguish from the normal ginger constituents, and because it was cheaper than the ginger. The Public Health Service points out that only chemist of unusual ability could have thought of it's great similarity to true ginger; and had there been anything known about the pharmacologic action of the substance and the possible dire results, it is probable that it never would have happened

CITY OF LOST MEN.


 Usually it is not the practice of the Government to conceal or aid in coneealing the identity of any individual It ordinarily plays the role of breaker down of aliases. but there is one town in the coun- try and one class of individuals in which it reverses its normal procedure The place is Caryvile, Louis jana, and it is the abiding place of some 320 per- sons who suffer from eprosy.
 This is about one-third of the number estimated to be scattered the United States in hiding The Government, anxious to give them the best medical and attention possible, has through the Public Health Service promised any and all so desiring to shield their identity, disclosing neither their names their whereabouts
 This is not departure from present practice Already more than 100 of the colony receive letters write cheeks and keep bank accounts under some alias Dr. o. E. Denny, physician in charge of the community, a recent visit to Washington described how the true names architects lawyers nurses, aborers the cross section of humanity that comes to him kept securely locked away in vaults referring to them himself only when re- quested to notify relatives in illness or death It is not even required that the patients reveal their true names if they prefer not to do so. If they wish to conceal their identity the Government respects their wishes
 Leprosy is not incurable Often, the Public Health Service, reports it is arrested in the Cary vile colony and the patient sent back home.

The BarDarians.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

The palm for quick to America followed by written criticism of everything from New York harbor to pickaninnies in Texas, goes without com petition to George Duhamel, French writer and physician of some note. M Duhamel penetrated our benighted land at New Orleans, hastened to Chicago thence to New York, and within three weeks of entry shook materialistic dust from his Gallic coattais and sailed for the home of cul ture.
 The gentleman could not speak English; he had not visited us before. Yet in twenty days he learned beyond preadventure of doubt that America is mechanical mess automobile stuffed with stupidity, movie balderdash and cheap canned music; in short, that civilization is a and worse form of barbarian. These dismal details he set forth in book And To, the learned French Academy has just awarded him a large cash prize for his social researches among the heathen.
 It is nothing new to America to be hurried into rapacious print by European authors who have viewed from the calm detachment of a sky scraper or the superlative vantage of pullman window For their ridiculous solemnity have cultivated good-natured taste. But Duhamels countrymen are more easily reused to indignation, and it is friendly sign that Frenchmen with a jot of knowledge about America including Tardieu, have leaped with both feet upon the book and the academy.
 About the only possible explanation of the atti- tude of M. Duhamel and the academicans is that they got their America from Sinclair Lewis and refined it down to the last dross Much to be pre- ferred are the methods of George Bernard Shaw, who is full of idotic ideas about America, but to hold them dear and refuses to visit this country because he might be compelled in fairness to re- linquish them.

JUNEAU's BIGGEST INSTITUTION.

That is the Alaska Juneau gold mining prop critics. Superintendent Metzgars preliminary sum- mary of that company's operations here for l93o depicts condition that must be as gratifying to company officials and stockholders it is satisfy ing to the people of Juneau For the second suc- cessve year, the mines net operating surplus ouch cd the milliondollar mark and its total production only little short of 50 per cent of the entire gold output of the Territory, totaling in round figures $3400000 It paid out in wages the great sum of s1,240000, and expended locally the addi- tional sum of S360000. Most of both these items, aggregating S1 100000 passed through the normal channels of trade into general circulation in Juneau It is evident that the Alaska Juneau mine is not only the biggest institution this community has but it is well the greatest privately owned ;nsti tuition in all Alaska.

CAUSE OF JAKE" PARALYSIS IS
 IDENTIFIED.

The cause of ginger. or as it was commonly called jake" paralysis has been determined Scien- tsts of the United States Public Health Service have discovered that this affliction, which has afflicted thousands of victims is not caused by ginger at all but by compound known to chemists tr-ortho cresyl phosphate This chemical is the main constituent of technical tricresyl phosphate, which is widely used in trade circles especially ,n the manufacture of varnishes shellaes and similar preparations. Being cheap and readily obtained in unlimited quantity it appears to have been used by Irresponsible makers of socalled ginger extract, Jamaica ginger, to replace the ginger There seems to be question that the adulterated drink that produced so many of paralysis widely separated areas Of the country last winter and spring contained tri-ortho cresyl phosphate in an approximate concentration Of about two per cent,
