MANY IMPORTANT
 GRID CLASHES IN EAST-WEST FRONTS
Northwestern and Stan- ford Also Prove Magnet
 -TrOjans ys Gaels
BY JACK CUDDY United Press Stan COrrespondent)

E
 New York, Oct. IA = (UP) = The midwest was @ virtual "No Mans Land" today as heavy foot ball artillery from the east, south and west thundered at home product huskies in important in- tersectional interest was at white heat with 100000 expected at the various games.
 Although heavy fighting centered in that sector, pre-battle blue prints showed one or two import ant melees slated on each of the other fronts, with the Navy-Pitts- burgh brawl commanding the most eastern interest.
 Attraction
 Prominent Tn the midwest in- vasion were Tiny Thornhilps Stan ford Indians who are attacking Northwestern at Chicago. Most ex- perts believed the Cafifornians would win.
 From the east, Gil Dobie's ur- tested Cornell eleven marched hopefully against Michigan's vet- eran outfit, last seasons western champion. Harry Kipke's Wolver- ines were favored.
 From the south came Vanderbilt to tackle Ohio State, the Columbus power team which last week now cd down Virginia, 75-0.
 In addition, Notre Dame and Indiana tangle at Bloomington, and four big ten teams meet in two conference struggles; Illinois vs. Wisconsin and Minnesota vs. Purdue. Wisconsin and Purdue are favored.
 Navy's landing party invaded the Partners at Pittsburgh in the outstanding eastern game. AL though tho Middies, heralded as the best battle-wabon in years, are expected to give the Partners 0 hard fight, Pittsburgh is slight favorite because of q heavier team.
 Just Fair
 Outside of this meeting, there Is nothing in the east that looks like a battle of titans. A few games have possibilities--such af- fairs as Fordham-W West Virginia, New York university-Lafayette, ale-Washington and Lee, Colgate Rutgers. However, most of the eastern powers are meeting final belatedly opening its season against Franklin and Marshall.
 In the south four games stand out. Georgia stages its annual clash with North Carolina. Duke struggles with Tennessee; sturdy Oklahoma battled Texas, and Rice meets Southern Methodist. Tho Tennessee- Duke brawl promises to be the best in the old Dominion.
 On the Pacific coast, the big game is that between Southern California, generally rated as last years champion, and St Marys galloping Gaels who lost by one point last week to California. The Trojans arc favored. The second best Pacific game involves Wash- ington and Oregon.

 If you think fighting is tough, {" confded Jack, "you wanta try yo' hand at. throwing steer on his back. Boy, that's work"
 And how did Jack know 1t was work?
 Boy, you shoulda seen me ono day fin Mexico City. Some fool pro- moter got mo rigged out fin a mat adoors suit and showed me out in Q 'rena with 25,000 people and the damn bigges' bull ever saw. That build make six of Camera and he had mo- footwork than sam Langford. And he was moan- er'n Fitz.
 "The first thing I know he's coming cross that ring at mo, head down, and snortin' and roar. in like c train engine. Soon as saw him light out 1 threw up my dukes and got set with my right. Then heard somebody yell for me to grab that cape on tho ground. So snatched up this thing that looked like Q red coat and waved it at the bull, who by this tlmo vas right on top of me. The bull fol. lowed tho cape. and as he Zoomed by my side I said to myself: Jack, you'd better get Q hold of this critter, cause your right ain't go- ing to do no good
 "so when the bull wont by snatched ahold of his horns. Boy, you shoulda seen what happentd then! Me and that baby fought all over the place. got his head un- der my left arm and lot fly with my right. It caught him square between the eyes and he didn't even blink. hit him low, high. midways and in the mouth. but he jus kep' bucking and kicking and snorting. I swear rode round that place a hundred times fore that bull finally got so tired he grunted and sat down. I'd a sat down long before but couldn't.
 For while we just sat there me and the bull. We musta taken q count of fifty. Finally I staggered up on my feet, and you shoulda heard the crowd yell. I'm telling you it was more noise than when I knocked out Jefferies."

BRIDGE PEND TEST

Considering the spread of the bridge-playing industry, 1t is strange that none of our legis- lators has had laws passed for it's regulation. Now comes a suggestion that players be compelled to pass an eXamin- ation before being licensed to indulge in the game.
 The suggestion comes, not from United States Senator, but from an editor, whose zeal for the public welfare has been aroused by a report from Kan sas City, where a wife shot her husband. The victim was al- so the lady's bridge partner, it appears, and when he bid one spade and another player plunged on a different suit the wife raised four spades. The husband was set, blaming his wife for reckless bidding, and as result of the argument she shot him. Now the afore- said editor asserts that all per sons who aspire to play bridge should be caused to pass rigid test, not with reference to their skill, but to determine their mental poise. If the applicant is unable to be set or to have an ace trumped without showing undue emotion a license should be denied. The trouble is that such a law would practically eliminate all who take the game seriously.

How We Get Scratch"

In the days before the carefully marked-out running track of today the starting line was merely scratch In the ground or turf. It followed that the man who started from that mark became known as the scratch" man as opposed to those who received start, says the Montreal Family Her. old. Hence, too. the term scratch race" applied to a contest where all the competitors start level. A similar scratch in the ground in the old box ing ring, up to which the combatants had to stand when starting a fight, gave currency to that other term ''com- ing up to scratch"

How Sail Fish Was Named

The sail fish takes its name from the fact that it's dorsal in is high and undivided. A variety of this species rather common in the vicinity of the Florida Keys grows to length of six feet. Its great blue sail" with black dots presents striking appearance. In addition to their distinctive sail like dorsal fins the sail fishes are characterized by their brilliant me- talIic cooration and by the fact that their Upper jaws are prolonged into bony swords. They are excellent food fishes.

How Irreplaceable Soil
 Is Being Carried Away

So much has been said and written on the subject of soil erosion. that the menace of this factor to the soil fertil- ity of the country is met with indiffer- ence. Some figures gathered in Texas, however. are sufficiently startling to center attention on the problem.
 Federal experts carrying on studies of the problem report that in one rain of few days duration. more than 100,000,000 tons of fertile soil were washed out of the fields of the Black Belt" The affected land was not un- duly steep, being little more than a gentle slope. One single rain in one morning swept away g tons per acre of rich black soil and at least 3,OO0,- GOO acres were affected.
 The seriousness of the situation Is to be seen in the fact that the eroded soil is permanently lost, and the aver age depth of top soil in this country is about nine inches. The destruction of forests has brought the soil erosion question to the fore, for few. compara- lively, have made any effort either through the planting of belts of trees or the construction of terraces to over- come the destructive wash of accumu. lated waters down slopes during rain storms.

HOW:
ELECTRICITY PLAYS PART IN

ELECTRICITY PLAYS PART IN ASSEMBLING NATTER Matter is built of minute units of positive electricity called protons and equal units of negative electricity called electrons. Ordinarily, these are present in equal numbers, and the electrical character of matter becomes evident only when this equality is disturbed. Aggregates of protons and electrons constitute atoms. The simplest atom, hydro gen, consists of single proton acting as a nucleus around which one electron is circling; heavier atoms have positively charged nu clei consisting of more protons than electrons; enough additional electronS move in complex patterns about the nucleus to maintain cleo trical neutrality. There are 92 va. rieties of atoms, each character ized by the charge on it's nucleus. In some substances, atoms exist uncombined; in most, atoms are joined with others forming mole- culeS, as q result of electrical and magentic forces. Elements consist of molecules containing only one variety of atom: compounds con sist of molecules containing sev- eral varieties of atoms.

The late Lord Northcliffe, famous British publisher, did not think so much of people whose conduct seemed always to be perfectly correct.

It is on- ly by such capers they have a true appreciation of the best things in home and business life"
