only a few-and those especially invited

BY all means the choicest bit Of

enterprises, who was married to Mr..
Charles Mason Remey, a bachelor, a
student and scholar, an authority on
art, music and architecture. But this
is not Washington's loss. Both the
bride and bridegroom are Washington
residents and they will return here in
the Autumn to combine their already
well established Inequalities.
Notable among recent events in Ashe-
vile was the ninth birthday anniver-

just completed by Donald Ross. This

premier golf layouts in Dixie. Thirty

for instead of taking correspondent

NorthweStern'S championship march,
in Dyche stadium before a homecom-
ing gathering of $4,000 spectators.
A last minute shift in Northwest
ern's constantly changing backfield
failed to alter the odds and the Wild
cats were favored to win their third
straight Big Ten game and hand the
Gophers their first defeat of the con-
ference season. The shift was made
necessary by an injury to George
Potter. Northwestern's sophomore
quarterback, and AL Moore, veteran
utility back, was slated to start in
the position.
Northwestern's line was outweighed
by the Minnesota wall which aver
aged nearly 200 pounds at full
strength. Ken MacDougall. welter-
weight halfback, Jack Manders, full
back, and big Clarence Mum, a COM
bination guard and fullback, were
the Gophers' threats, while Ollie o.

COMES TO SPITBALLER
WHO ONCE LED MAJOR LEAGUE
Happy Jack Chesbro Dies; Was
Talk of Baseball World in
1901 and 1902

Conway, Mass, Nov. 7.-{P)-Happy
Jack Chesbro, famous spitball pitcher
who gained the pinnacle of basebal's
heights a generation back, died Friday
at his chicken farm in the heart OF
the Berkshire Hills where he learned
the game he played SO well.
A heart attack brought death to the
55-year-old spitball hurler.
Happy Jack vas a native Of North
Adams. He was developed on the
sandlots Of western Massachusetts,
and he gained his first experience in
organized baseball with the old
Springfield club.
Chesbro, christened John Dwight,
received the cognomen Happy Jack
long before he joined the ranks Of Or
ganized baseball. It was while he
served as all attendant at the Mid
dletown, N. Y, insane asylum that an
inmate called him Happy Jack" and
the name stuck.
From the diamonds of western
Massachusetts, he went to the Rich
mond club of the Southern Associa-
ton and later joined the Pittsburgh
club of the National League, where he
began his big league career.
While with Pittsburgh, in 1901 anc
1902, he led the National League pitch
ers, winning 81 and losing nine games
for an average of TOO in 1901 and pill
ing up a percentage of 1874 the follow.

little or no gain resulting.
The Bison were surprisingly effec-
tive ono they began clicking, but I
took them some time to get their Of
tense under way. They were excep-
tionally strong against the Nodak
pass game, and one Nodak aerial re-
suited in a Bison touchdown which
Leo Gerteis picked off and ran back
thirty-three yards in the fourth quar-
ter. The NodakS were unable to get
into Bison territory at any stage Of
the second half. The Bison scored
its third touchdown in the third Pc
Rod on q pass Schollander to Mar
quardt.
It was a team of stars which Lieut.,
Fay Smith and his aids, Pete Gerger
and Joe Blakeslee, sent Oh to the Da-
cotah Field. But Hanson and Mar
quardt were super stars. George
Manthy directed the Bison offense re-
markedly. He gave a scintillating
kicking performance which constant
ly forced back the Nodaks, and he
was an important cog in the running
and passing attack. Both teams
used umerou requirements.
Cope and Gohde, Nodak halfbacks
were the big guns in the backfield,
this pair accounting for the lone No
oak touchdown on two long runs
from scrimmage. Hultberg. McCar-
thy and Kubicheck were the most ef-
~fective in the forward wall.
The Nodaks piled up six first downs
to two for the Bison in the first half
but the margin throughout the game
showed IL to 4 for the Bison, one OF
those made by the Nodaks in the fl
nal period being the result of a pen
atty.

The Quakers, in a very un-Quaker-

hold Notre Dame to a small score, but
to go back east with a victory. It was
the opinion of the experts, however,
Pennsylvania would be able to put up
a good battle without accomplishing
its aim.
PENIS hopes were shaken somewhat
when it was learned that its regular
ends, Captain Paul Biblett and Raffel,
would not be able to start because OF
injuries, and might not even get into

party of 40 University of North Dako-

night for st. Paul where the Nodaks
will play st. Thomas college today.
Coach C.. A. West took every member
OF his Squad with the exception of
Bill Lowe, right guard, who is still on
the hospital list with a shoulder in
jury.
The Nodaks were in the best condi-
ton physically and mentally they
have been in for weeks. West will be
able to use his full strength if he so
desires and the probabilities are he
will have Felber at left end, Long at
left tackle, Gordon DabloW at left
guard, Bourne at center, Malo at right
guard, Wick at right tackle, Wexler
at quarterback, Pierce at left half,
Richmond at right half, and Captain
Burma at fullback when the whistle
blows.
There was a decided difference IN
the spirit of the players during the
