COAST GRIDIRON
TEAMS SWINGING
INTO REAL FORM
BY ALANSON w. EDWARDS
United Press Staff Correspondent

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 7. U.P)-
Gridiron rivals of the far west were
swinging into mid-season form to-
day as they prepared for another
round of weekend games featured
/ by the first big intersectional duel
Stanford against Minnesota.
The Palo Altoans, who won only
nominal success in their first three
games, faced a real threat in the big
Gray Gophers from the land of TO-
900 lakes Minnesota held them to
a scoreless tie lass gar and Fritz
Crisler, their coach, feels they are
just as good this year.
Glenn Pop" Warner found COM
fort in the explosion of the NAM
moth Minnesota myth" when the
squad of 35 Gophers arrived in
Berkeley to train for Saturdays con-
test. Although there are some big
men in the lineup, among them 2l5-
pound Capt. Clarence Mum and
2l6-pound Pat Bolander, the line
outWeighs Stanford's only four
pounds and the backfield by but one
pound.
While the Gophers and Indians
are having it out at Palo Alto, the
Washington state Cougars, last
years conference champions, will be
trying their luck against Headman
Howard Jones Trojans in Los An
geles The Cougars reached the
heights in 1880 by nosing out the
Southern Californians, but their
success this time is quite another
matter.
The Golden Bears of California,
smarting under IA to 0 defeat by
the Gaels of st. Mary's, were look
ing for a happier time with the San
Francisco Olympic club in Memorial
stadium. Navy Bill Ingram has
been repairing his fences in the Of
fense department and will offer the
results for public approval Satur-
day. He also expects a rearranged
backfield to bring an improvement
in the Bear attack.
Giants To Meet
Two of the Northwest'S conference
giants, Washington and Oregon uni
versities, will clash in Seattle. Both
won their initial games against
weaker opponents but by lower
scores than in past years, and they
did not appear to be entirely up to
scratch. The game undoubtedly will
go to the team that gets underway
first. with Washington having a
Slight edge.
Idaho and Montana universities
ere to meet in Moscow for what
might be termed a battle of con-
ference lesser lights. Idaho should
win.
Columbia and Willamette will
play at Portland, Whitman and Pa
cific at Whitman, and Gonzaga and
Montana State at Spokane, the lat
ter night game.
The Gaels, holding the whip hand
on the coast by their clean victories
over Southern California and Cali
fornia, will have a breather against
West Coast army at Kezar stadium.
San Francisco, Sunday. The army

NATIONWIDE
SALE MEETING
With SUCCESS

Retail merchandising in this COM
munity hit one of the high spots of
this amazing year of low prices
when the local Montgomery Ward
& Co. store began its Nationwide
Sale here last Saturday. As at
former Ward sales of this country
wide scope, this event is attracting
numerous visitors to town.
The name Nation Wide Sale" is
now used in place of the name
Ward Week which formerly was
the title of this semi-annual SELL
ing festival. The change has come
about because of the tremendous
interest aroused, and the inability
of the Ward stores to accommodate
in only one week the amount of
buying demand created. The new
Nation Wide Sale" will run for two
full weeks, instead of the former
single week which the name "Ward
Week" formerly designated.
This doubling the length of the
sale period not only allows a very
great increase in the quantity and
variety of merchandise included in
the sale but also is of very special
value to the public at this time
when SO many low prices exist in
SO many different lines of goods.
Based on present prices as checked
up by the government on all vari-
eties of merchandise, the public S
dollar today is worth more than at
any time since 1919. But in many
lines, as demonstrated at Wards,
money has even Digger buying pow
er. In more than 100 items So
buys as much as SO bought last
spring.
This great Wards Sale" said
w. A. Gibbins, manager of Mont
gomery Ward & Co.'S local store,
has come to mean far more than
an event of price inducements. To
millions the length and breadth
of the country, and to local people
for miles around, it means what
might rightfully be termed a liberal
education in what can be accom-
plished in the extreme reduction of
prices made possible by merchan-
dising on national scale through
the largest group of general mer-
chandise stores in the world"
Preparation for this first Ma
tion-Wide Sale" has been under
way for months, until the manage
ment feels that all records will be
surpassed, even those of Ward
Week" last year when sales and at
tendance made new history all
over the country. 1t is estimated
that more than 10000 persons have
been directly concerned in the Gre
alton and distribution of the mer-
chandise involved.

LONGS PLAN,
ACREAGE CUT
AREFAVORED
Criminal Section OF
Reduction Proposal
Is Eliminated

AUSTIN, Sept. II. tPp-The SEN
ate committee on agriculture today
gave a favorable report TO two cot
ton acreage control bills. one en-
bodying the provisions of the Long
~no-cotto: in-l932 plan and the
other calling for limited reduction
acreage.
Action OF the committee giving a
favorable report to both bills was
unusual.
1t apparently had been agreed
among the members of the commit
tee to give the senate a chance to
vote on both proposals.
One-third Restriction.
The Long bill plan was by Sen.
Margie Neal of Carthage and w. z,
Thomson OF Nacogdoches. The
acreage limitation bill. a coalition
agreement between Sen. Walter
Woodward of Coleman, Clint Small
Of Amarillo and Oliver Cunning
ham OF Abilene. would restrict acre
age In 1892 and 1898 TO mi third of
the cultivated area In 1881. 1t also
provided for rotation after 1888, pro-
hibiting planting OF cotton on the
same land in successive years.
A favorable report was given by
the committee to a bill by Sen. j.
w. Stevenson of Victoria that would
permit farmers to plant any acre
age they wished in cotton next year
but would prohibit planting that
same acreage IN cotton in 1888 and
provide for rotation thereafter.
Several ch.-nges were made today
In the subcommittee draft Of the
Olsen bill to make it conform more
closely TO the provisions Of the SEN
ate coalition bill.
The criminal section. providing for
a fine of from IS - SIS, 1000 and i'm
prisonment in Jail for 80 days was
eliminated.
The clause requiring states pro-
ducing three fourths OF the cotton
to enact laws calling for similar or
s-eateT reductions before the Texas
law would be operative was taken
out. This feature will be covered in
a resolution in which the governor
will be directed 10 proclaim suspen-
sion of the enforcement sections OF
the law in event other states fail
TO follow Texas lead.
Buying Limited.
Action OF the committee In re-
drafting the bill followed confer
ences with Sen. woodward and other
leaders OF acreage reduction Of the
senate.
A proposal was presented to the
house committee on agriculture to-
day recommending passage OF a bill
establishing a commission TO regu-
late the rates TO be charged by gins
for ginning cotton.
Clarence Ousley. assistant secre-
tary of the federal department of
agriculture In the wilson ad-
ministration. and Dabney White OF
Tyler recommended the proposal.
The expense of the commission
would be paid by a license fee levied
on gin operators. Ousley recommend
ed the rates be based on the value
OF the cotton and not on a flat bale
basis. Ginners also should be pro-
hibited from buying cotton and cot
ton seed as a protection to the
farmers. Ousiey said.

TRAPPED Man
IS SAVED BY
AMPUTA7ION
Physician Lowered
Through Shaft
To Miner

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Sept. IL.
R)-An amputation performed un-
der jagged slate far down in a coal
mine, with the surgeon lying flat
upon his back, has saved the life
OF Aukstotck Cotter, ,~30-year-old
miner.
Roof Caves In
The entombed miner was liberat-
ed after hours Of tragic effort. dur
ing which a minister read passages
from the Bible for him and food
was lowered to him on the end of
a pole extended through a crevice.
Cotter was trapped when a Sec
ton Of the mine roof came crash
ing down. Both his arms we're pin
ned to the ground by slate. Fellow
workers freed his left arm by lift
ing the rocks with an automobile
jack, but were unable to free the
right.
Rescue crews worked doggedly at
the slate fall. while the clergyman
read the Bible. Then Cotter COM
planned of hunger and was fed.
Ara Amputated
DR.. George Fordham, Powellton
physician, suggested Cotter's life
might be saved If his arm could be
amputated. DR.. w. b. Davis, COM
pany physician, volunteered IL
means Of reaching the arm could
be found.
Miners dug q 15-foot tunnel to
Cotter's arm and DR.. Davis, sur
gical instruments tied to his belt,
crawled to Cotter's side. Lying up
on his back in the small hole, DR..
Davis injected the anaesthetic and
o short time later Cotter was car
ried from the mine. Today he was
recovering in \ hospital.
