 High Three--Blair, First M. E., 3S6.
 High Team-Mill Plain, 1859.
 First M. E. struck tough going against the St Paups M. E., but through the efforts of Bill Blair, and Harold Wright who are sport ing averages of 113 and 110 respec- lively, they took two out of three games and kept within one game of the top.. St Paups team was beaten but not outclassed as the difference of If pins showed.
 Mill Plain continued to keep their slate clean by winning three from St John's Lutheran team. IIcah- man Harvey the ancient pepper pot of the East Enders showed the way with Q nice B, but he was pushed for honors by his team mates Barker. Dave Brown, and Slants Gallagher, all hitting well over the 800 mark. It was an ex- hibition of team work that wins games. The St Johns boys are new. corners to the league and are still . 7trifc nervous but they took their beating we'll and they arc bound to be heard from before the curtain goes down on 1882 season

An all-American end at Yale in 1889, Stagg has coached the Chi- cago team since 1892 and has made an international reputation for himself as a sportsman. q A crowd of 10000 was expected to witness the football pageant. , Although proud of the honor Yale has conferred upon him by sending its team into the middle west for the first time, Coach Stugg had high hopes for a vic- tory over his alma mater.
 Duty vs Emotion "I am deeply gratified that Yale has come here" said Stagg, but 1 have always been guided by duty rather than emotion. My duty, and the duty of my team, is to beat Yale"
 Clicago's close fight with Michi- gan last week and Yale's rout at the hands of Georgia indicated that the two teams were evenly match ed. Chicago has no fast, shifty runner with the reputation of AL bic Booth, Yale's 145-pound cap- tain. but the Maroons have pair of dangerous runners in Vinson Sahlin and Bib Wallace.
 In tho Dark
 Neither coach knew much about the others offense because of a non-scouting agreement. Chicago has a new formation, especially designed by Stagg for this game. Yale will use modified form of the Notre Dame system.

 FLIGHT RECORD
World Trip, According to Figures, Beats Time of
 Post and Catty

NEW YORK, Oct. 13-The round the world flight of Clyde Pangborn and Hugh Herndon illustrates how tickle fortune plays hob with the best of plans.
 Harold Gatty and Wiley Post circled the world in eight days IS hours and 5l minutes. Of that total, four days. ten hours and eight minutes time were spent actually in the air.
 At first glance the Herndon and Pangborn figures seem to indicate they never had chance to break the record but allowing them a generous 30 hours for a flight from Wenatchee, Wash, to New York, they would have flying time of seven days, twenty-two hours and fifty-three minutes or seventeen hours faster than that of Post and Gatty.

 It is argued that if the govern- ment varied the amount of gold re- deemable by a dollar according to the average price of commodities, potatoes or corn or lettuce would have constant purchasing power.
 Bill Prepared
 Representative Burtness of North Dakota has prepared a bill which seeks to hold the price level steady by varying the number of grains of gold in a dollar.
 Questions of the effect on foreign trade and almost certain opposition from interests which profit by the fluctuation in gold are being stud- jed by the American Farm Bureau Federation, The National Grange and The Farmers Union.
 The proposed s500,000,000 bank ing credit corporation, recently suggested by President Hoover and now in course of formation, may be one of the functions to hold up the agricultural dollar.

 WASHINGTON, D. c. Oct. 13.- A plan which utilizes machinery of many years standing is being used by The Presidents Organiza- tion on Unemployment Relief in the most concerted move to meet a national emergency since the World War.
 A national organization has been set up but it's function is merely to cooperate and help set in motion the machinery of local organiza- tions in more than 4,500 towns and cities throughout the country. 376 of which are of more than 25,000 population.
 Heretofore such movements have been operated on a national basis, with national funds and national disbursements, but this winter every effort for relief of the distress which is expected as the result of unemployment will be entirely local. The slogan might be Local funds for local relief
 5,60O,000 Idle Now
 Last January the government psti- mated the number of jobless at 6,05O.000. William Green, president of the American Federation of La bor, has predicted that 100000 will be idle the coming winter. In a re- cent statement. however, he said that the usual fall gain in en- ployment which he expected when he made that prediction had not occurred this year.
 Green estimated that on Sep tember 25 there were 5,600,00O persons idle in the United States He said prospects for the winter are even more serious. Other in- dications place the winters job less at between 100000 and 8,0O0,- OO0
 The work of caring for this army of unemployed has been started on the new plan and early returns in- dicate successful operation despite lack of precedent
 The task of the national commit tee which is headed by Walter s. Clifford as set forth by him is ito CO., ordinate and strengthen the work of providing public and private re- lief funds, of administering those funds and of increasing and dis tributing employment"
