The spectre Of impoverish.
ment hung over many Ameri-
can municipalities in the spring
Of 1882.
Confronted with astoundingly
large tax delinquencies, huge
poor relief needs, and an un.
precedented tightening Of cred
itors, many cities sent their re-
presentatives into the money
markets Of the nation to make
desperate efforts to negotiate
loans-the life blood Of cities.
Thus, in the spring Of 1882,
at Cincinnati, bond headquarters
Of the Middle West, there
gathered comptrollers, finance
directors, auditors, treasurers,
some nationally famous for
their financial "wizardry",
some noted for their genius in
directing vast financial prof.
ects, all running around to the
bond buyers striving to arrange
loans.
However, the bond market so
far as it pertained to municipal
credits was frozen. Many muni-
cipalities had defaulted on pay
ments. Bond issues that several
years before had appeared as
sound as the gold eagle had
turn out to be paper.
The bond buyers were not on
ly extremely cautious. They re-
fused to buy bonds.
Among those whose requests
Tor loan were turned down ar
bitrarily were two Of Youngs-
towns neighbors both Of which
were larger than Youngstown.
In the spring Of 1882 Youngs-
town found itself in . precari-
Gus situation.
With the steel mills operating
at a low level thousands Of
Youngstown families looked to
the city for relief.
The tax delinquency was stag.
geringly high.
To ameliorate conditions the
city administration with the aid
Of council had arranged for le-
glslation authorizing extensive
civic undertakings which would
provide jobs, bring more money
into circulation, and thereby
add to the purchasing power.
1t was a miniature recovery
program long before Roosevelt
was nominated.
There was only one little hitch
to this program. That was the
matter Of selling $4,000, 900
worth Of bonds. Without sale
Of these bonds council could
authorize improvements until it
was blue in the face, the city
administration could devise and
plan day and night, but moth
ing would be accomplished.
Furthermore, the bonded debt
OF Youngstown was over &c.
100000 already and the usual
avenues for the sale Of bonds
appeared closed.
Thus it was that Hugh D.
Hindman, Youngstown's young
finance director, undertook to
borrow for the city Of Youngs.

Michigan Coaches
Fear DObie'S Passes

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Oct. IA
G.N.S0.-The blue of Michigan
battles the red of Cornell in a re-
newal of one of the oldest inter-
sectional football rivalries in the
games history here this after
noon. The two teams resume
relationship which ended in 1917
when a great Michigan team
trampled the big reds of Ithaca
under a 42-to-0 score.
Cornell brings a team having
less weight and experience than
the Wolverine eleven, but team
which has been playing smart
football. Coach Gilmour Dobie's
boys use an off-tackle play,
mixed with laterals and forward
passes. The Michigan coaches are
especially worried about what the
"dour Scot" may have in the way
of an overhead attack.

Hauser Seeks
New Chance
In Majors

He hasn't said so publicly, but
Joe Hauser probably is wondering
just what a fellow has to do in
the big minors to get a tumble
from the major leagues.
Hauser now is transforming
with some of his old Minneapolis
American Association teammates,
and reports indicate he still is
getting his homers, out where
there are no fences and where
hitting for the circuit really in
wolves putting the ball "away."
Joe is "a years old, but associa-
ton critics, after watching him
blast II homers last season and
set a new loop record for total
bases, as well as lead in runs
scored and runs batted in, agree
that the big first sacker should
get another chance under the
big top.
Hauser may receive a bid yet,
as he is eligible for the draft, and
some punchless big league club
might be willing to offer the
$500 draft price for the man who
got more homers in one season
than any other player in the his
tory Of organized baseball.

The Importance of college foot

Americas ideas are when it
comes to entertainment.
A number of games today bid
fair to pay off the annual in
terest charges on loans which
built some Of our better known

V|LLANOVA

VILLANOVA, Pa, Oct. 14.-With
three games won by each school
and another tied, Villanova and
Bucknell will come to grips in
their eighth annual game at the
Main Line Stadium today.
Next to the Temple contest, the
meeting with Bucknell is the big
gest attraction on the Blue and
White schedule. Every year the
affair has been marked by intense
rivalry and sensational playing.
The present series goes back to
1926, when Villanova upset the
Lewisburg machine at Wilkes
Barre, Z to 3. In the following
year, the Bisons overturned the
Blue and White, % to IL, with
Villanova going l up by annexing
the third tussle, 20 to 6. Bucknell
more than evened matters by TAX
ing the next two trays, 9 to 0, and
81 to IA. In 1881, the schools
fought a scoreless tie, while last
fall Villanova blanked Snavely's
men, 13 to 0, at Scranton, to
square the series.

VANDY To TEST
OHIO STATE

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. Il.
Still little amazed at it's prowess
against the University of Virginia
a week ago, the Ohio State foot
ball team today prepared to test
itself against a stronger foe here
this afternoon before launching
upon its campaign for the Big
Ten gridiron title.
The Buckeyes were heavy fav-
orites to trounce the Vanderbilt
Commodores this afternoon, but
the task was not expected to be
as easy a push-over as the V;r-
ginia game last Saturday, when
Ohio won by a score of IS to 0.

be Pitts first Sortie against
robust opposition since it went
out there to the Rose Bowl on
New Years Day and finished be-

Consider Themselves Good
Until that happened, the boys
were undefeated, united and un-
stopped and naturally they
thought they were right good.
But after the first few minutes
against Southern California,
thinking became Improbable.
Most of last years survivors
of this tragedy are still with us.
Warren Heller no longer is on
the premises but Skladany, the
pass-catcher, is available and so
are Sebastian and WeinStock,
who put on a show the day Pitt
beat Notre Dame.
Mr.. Hogan, who stood behind
the goal posts that wild afternoon
and kicked so far over the head
of the Notre Dame safety man
that he didn't find the ball until
the following Tuesday week, is
still about and there is a lot Of
power up there ahead Of the rum
ner in the Pitt line.
Navy Is Gallant
Anyhow, it is a pretty good
Pittsburgh team. But the Navy
is pretty gallant, as Navy football
is and always must be, and be-
sides it has just enough veteran
strength to be doubly dangerous.

Indiana's one-ton varsity eleven

OWNER PUTS
IN ALL NEW
EQUIPMENT
By DANNY GILL

BY DANNY GILL
Sounds of crashing NAPLES will
ring out again in RosSlyn, Va,
Just when the residents Of that
busy little town were beginning
to despair Of ever having a
bowling alley of their own again.
The end of this month will
find the Rosslyn Bowling Alleys
not only relighted but refur-
nished both inside and out. Ver-
non Dickey is. the man who has
the foresight to see big things
for duckpins in the Virginia
town.
Beer Garden
When the doors are thrown
open to the public, the people
will find new equipment, new
balls, new pins and a beer lr-
den. Mr.. Dickey could have re-
opened with the material he had
on hand, bat decided upon an
extra outlay, saying:
"ThiS place is going to be
prosperous looking. want
everyone to feel he is getting
his dollar worth when he
rolls here"
And Mr.. Dickey has selected
an efficient and popular man
to run his drives in Gait Davis,
now with the Georgetown Rec
reation Alleys, who managed the
RosSlyn mapleways last season.
Wife an Athlete
Davis is something of a bowler
himself, as is his wife, the for
mer Helen Dawson. They used
to roll mixed doubles together,
both previous to and after their
marriage. She, by the way, is
one of the best all-around women
athletes in this neighborhood.
The alleys Mr.. Davis again
will manage were formerly owned
by John Omohundro and a part
ner, but they decided not to re-
new their five-year lease which
expired last year.
There are IL drives at the
RoSslyn Emporium and some
mighty good bowlers have sent
balls down them. Brad Mandley
and Thurston Furr set a worlds
record there and Mr.. and Mrs.
Russell Spilman set mixed
doubles record at the same place.
And it was at the Rosslyn estab-
lishment that Louie Tubbs got
four strikes, rolling a 1872 game.
