pointing one end and fastening a
square of wood about five inches Oy
five inches on the other end. This
can be cut with a jig saw in the
shape of flower or vegetable to
represent the plants that will come
up in a particular plot of ground.
The outline may then be filled in,
in natural color, with ordinary fiat
paint or enamel. The sticks should
be finished with several coats of
green paint, so as to insure the pro-
lection of the wood against the on
slaughts of moisture from the
ground and air.
Vine poles are made OF stout
sticks Of wood, several feet in
length. Wooden shapes, cut in the
form of birds or stylized flowers
and paint cheerfully, top these. 1t
is very important to see that the
entire surface is thoroughly coated,
because wood that is exposed to
the disintegration of the elements
will soon decay if it is not properly
protected with paint. These gay
markers and vine poles will add a
decorative appearance to your gar
den, even before the seeds come
up, and will enhance the greenery.

LOS ANGELES IN
 BID FOR CONTEST

NEW YORK, Sept. 19-The Los Angeles Junior Chamber of Com merce is seeking to bring the Army and Navy together for a football game to be played this fall on the West Coast, the receipts to be used to erect a suitable memorial to commemorate the tenth Olympiad at Los Angeles.
 Harvey Humphrey, president of the organization, would transport not only the football teams of the two service schools, but the entire student body to Los Angeles for the game.
 Major Phillip Fleming director of athletics at West Point, said there had been some correspondence with Humphrey, and a letter had been written to the latter setting forth in detail the impracticability of the Army team playing such a game
 Humphrey is still hopeful of bringing the teams together for a game in Los Angeles

GRID RULES
 ARE CHANGED

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-Football victories are not to be handed to teams on platters because of the errors of miserable individual op- ponents during the 1881 season, the single important change in the rules doing away with the award ing of a try-for-p point because Of foul by member of the de- lending team.
 The change provides for the in fliction of the penalty as it would be incurred in regular scrimmage.
 Many games have previously been won by the margin of point because some over anxious player has unwittingly committed foul in his desire to save his team from defeat.

of football championship back in '97" writes a contributor to the On-to-Chicago-to -hon o or-Old-Man- Stagg campaign.
 Tt was during recent reunion with some of his Yale friends, who had gathered to discuss the details of the coming Yale-Chicago foot ball game in Chicago, October IT., that A. A. Stagg and his cronies delved into the past and retold Herschberger feat
 "Herschberger, one of the out standing kickers of all time, was the first great backfield player de- veloped at Chicago. He was triple threat star. and after his gastro- homie feat, he was just as big a threat to his teammates as to the opposing elevens.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1931-09-19

T7lerschberger next ate thirteen eggs.
 Something was bound to happen and it did. Just before the Wiscon- sin game Herschberger was seized with gastritis, lost to the team, Wisconsin won the game g to 8 with Herschberger, the defensive and offensive key of Chicago's at tack, being absent with the doc tors urgent recommendation.
 Those who know Stagg know that the Old Man doesn't belittle his opponents in victory Giving credit where credit is due is one of his outstanding characteristics. But in speaking of this game, Stagg said he was thoroughly convinced that it was thirteen eggs instead of eleven Wisconsin players that sent Chicago down to defeat"

 Football history records it that he entered in '94 and that in '97 he was a member of the squad which entered the year previous. The '96 group won fame as the squad which brought Chicago it's first football championship in '99
 That gang, incidentally, Stagg declares, was the widest lot he ever skippered. Mealtime to them was just another period of practic- ing the forward pass, and in lieu of the oval, steaming baked pota- toes, buns, butter, or anything solid was used.
 Previous to one of these meal time scrimmages, Herschberger and his good friend, Capt. Kennedy, be- came involved in an argument as to who could put on the most weight at one sitting.
 The argument threatened to end in a tie score, until one of the spectators who believed in horse play a bit more than the others suggested that they actually get down to the business and eat.
 This was right good sugges- tion Herschberger and Kennedy agreed, and the contest was on. From Chicago's standpoint it was not such a hot idea because the Wisconsin game was just a' few days away, and Chicago's record was clean.
 "The match was strictly above board, Kennedy and Herschberger, stripped and weighed in. It doesn't matter what they ate, but when the final whistle blew, they went to the scales and weighed in again.
