turbance far removed from that

was centered today in the extreme
southern part of the Gulf Of
Mexico.
Warnings were sent by the bu-
reau to Belize Thursday night that
the city was in danger, but commu-
nications were interrupted. The bu-
reau has charted the progress Of
the Belize disturbance for several
days and added to the current hur-
ricanes that one which reached San
Juan shortly before midnight.
The San Juan disturbance was
about halfway between Porto Rico
and Haiti today. Estimates of the
violence of the hurricane varied
from 10 to 100 miles an hour.

struck Belize was fifty miles an hour

bureau.

NEW RATES ON HOUSING WILL
 AID ATHLETES

LAKE PLACID, N. r., Nov. A. Realizing that the present extra ordinary economic conditions have placed an unusual burden upon foreign Olympic committees in the raising of funds to send their ath- letes to compete in the third Olympic Winter Games at Lake Placid next February, the local Olympic committee has voted to cut the cost of housing contestants and officials one dollar a day per man.
 It is expected that this contri- button by the Lake Placid com mittee, amounting to several thousand dollars, will be the means of stimulating foreign participation in the 1892 winter sports classic to a marked degree.

"Gsne MoEver," advises Dillon Graham, our Southern observer, lis better this year than ever. He is cracking the lines just as sensa- tienally as he did two years ago, before his injury, and he has now developed into a fine passer. He is aided by one of Bob Neyland's finest Tennessee lines.
 There doesn't seem to be much doubt about McEver and Tennessee this fall. The Volunteers of Knox vile have been around for as long a spell as any outfit in the country and that includes Notre Dame.
 Over the past six years, Tennes- see has a record of AS victories, only four defeats and four ties for a winning percentage of .923. This includes the seasons of 1925 50.
 For the same stretch Notre Dame shows a record of AT trlumphs eight defeats and two deadlocks for a winning percentage of 1855.
 Utah is close to these two. So are Southern California and Pittsburgh but there isn't major team any where in the country that can show better record than Tennes- sees.
 The first defeat for Tennessee in four years came last season at the hands of Wallace Wade's last Alabama juggernaut, team that went on to beat Washington State in the classic Rose Bowl contest al Pasadena.
 The Vols, with McEver back al the post he occupied in the un- beaten seasons of 1928-29, obtained ample revenge when they bowled over Alabama this fall, 25 to 0.
 It will be a great record if Nc Ever can help Tennessee fill out another unbeaten campaign this wear and remove his varsity cleats with the distinction of never hav- ing played on losing team.
