Gets Alaska Emergency servatlon Work
 More than Doubled

After having worked out an AL aska rogram under President Roosevelt's emergency conservation work that more than doubled the quota that would have been avail able for the Territory under the original set-up, Charles H. Flory Regional Forester and ex-Officio Commissioner in Alaska for the De- partment of Agriculture, returned home this week from a five-month absence.
 He was accompanied by Mrs. Flory and his sister, Mrs. Imogene B. Mellinger, of Dayton, Ohio, who will visit here for an indeterminate time
 President Approves Change
 Originally, Alaska's quota of men for emergency conservation work was set at 125, based upon popula- tion proportion MT Flory suc- ceeded in having this raised to 325. He was also successful in having the age limits taken off, and other restrictions applied in the States were removed at his suggestion. In fact, his entire program was ap- proved by the President with one minor exception that did not affect the general set-up in any degree.
 Approximately $165, ,000 was allot- ted to Alaska for the work that has been approved, consisting large ly of trail construction, improve ment of public camp grounds, clear ing and cleaning up the forests adjacent to highways, and other work for forest betterment and tc promote recreational areas. Aided by Heintzleman
 MT. Flory was aided in working out his program by Assist. Regional Forester B. F. Heinztleman. The later has been detached from duty in the Alaska region, temporarily and is assigned to the national work Just when he will be able to return to his work here is not known.
 M. L. Merritt, Asst. Regional Forester, who met MT. Flory ir Portland. returned with him to Ketchikan. There he boarded the tender Forester and is visiting Wrangell and Petersburg to make arrangements for establishing em- ergency construction camps there

If shifting was designed to get
momentum, what about plays
that move in one direction and
come back to the opposite side,
reverses, spin plays, etc? AS a
matter of fact, during the past
few years all shifting teams have
made this particular phase of
the offense a most important one.
The set formation has the ad-
vantages aforementioned and
possibly the advantage of sim.
plicity, as far as the training
and finesse is concerned in the
development of the offense.
A shifting attack calls for men
who can Synchronize their move
ments in an easy, graceful man
ner and it requires coordination
in timing to perfect it's use. This
represents one of the greatest OBJ
jectives of the shifting attack.
Considerable time and patience
plus men of ability and expert
ence are needed to develop this
style of play.
In the final analysis it is found
that both have advantages and
disadvantages and it resolves it.
self down to the point that it is
purely a matter of choice which
to adopt-the type of personnel
represented on the squad is the
most important factor in deciding
the style of play to use.

T EAGLES DRILL
FOR JOHNN|ES

The American University eleven
today began it's second six days
of intensive drill program for its
game with st. Johns College of
Annapolis Saturday, the only
game to be played on A. U. soil
this season.
Making the most of its layoff
since the Bridgewater game two
Saturdays ago, the Eagle squad
is in excellent shape, with the ex-
ception of two men, Bob Lowder
and Phil Hinckley, backs whose
injuries have not quite healed,
but who should be in tip-top con-
dition by Saturday afternoon.
Coaches Walter Young and
George Menke will concentrate
their attention on the line with
special workouts against st. Johns
style of offense. While the rest OF
the backfield takes things easy
Gorge Borsari, veteran at quar-
ter, will continue his punting prac-
tice, seeking perfection Of this
weapon.
Despite the fact that st. Johns
has not been successful in it's
meetings with larger local rivals,
this contest is marked as the
most difficult facing the Eagles.
The prospects are, however, that

what with the proper kind Of
players considering physical and
mental qualities combined) to
have available.
It is no wonder to me that
Michigan again is among the ma
tional gridiron leaders, and I will
not wonder at this circumstance a
year or 10 years from now.
Best Organized Defense
In my opinion, Michigan has
the best organized defense IN the
entire nation and one that none
of the famous offensive systems
will consistently puncture.
An example of Michigan's de-
fensive plans was seen recently
by a scout who reported that a
Wolverine defensive back left his
normal position to go up close
to the scrimmage line in order
that his most apparent mistake
might draw a forward pass on
the succeeding play.
This happened in situation
where a pass might we'll be under
taken by the opposition. So when
the opposing quarterback saw this
back leaving his position down
field unprotected despite the
warning of pass, pass" from
other Michigan players, the quar-
terback called for pass and
played directly Into the hands
of the Walverine back.
Back to Position
The latter simply ran back to
his normal position as soon as
the ball was snapped and awaited
the pass, which he promptly in
tercepted. The warning Of his
team mates was part of the trap.
In recent years Michigan has
proved capable of destroying
rather consistently the most pow
erful offenses. The Wolverine
defense has proven as disastrous
to one system as to another. This
has largely been due to the Or
ganization of its defensive plans
and the intelligent type OF play
ers that have worn its colors.
Michigan'S recent defeat Of
Ohio State, achieved in compare
lively easy fashion, did not occa-
sion much surprise among foot
ball men who have learned of the
intricacy of the Wolverine de-
fense. To the general public that
13-0 Wolverine victory did sur
prise, especially in view of the
fact that the Buckeyes shortly be-
fore had walloped Virginia. 75-0.

that is. long strips of whale-bone
or similar materials were stretched
along the thighs and other places.
In the ribbed era some players
greatly resembled armadillos due
to overlapping of ribbed sections.
Just at present two schools of
thought govern equipment. Some
players prefer sponge rubber
pads while others go in for
sheepskin with wool attached.
In early days padding was put
on to cover sharp angles such
as elbows and knees but of late
years doctors have approached
the subject from different
angle. The medicos point out
that it is more important to pro-
tect nerve areas and organs such
as the kidneys. Therefore, in
order to keep down weight, much

ing advised of the report that
Jock Sutherland, head football
coach at Pittsburgh, will leave his
position at the end of the year to

A Pittsburgh writer sent the
rumor here last night and since
then it has been spread over the

shifting style of attack, DR.. H.
L. Williams and K. K. Rockne,
passed away two years ago.
In 1909 old Doc Williams, the
Minnesota coach, startled the
football world with his intricate
shifting formations and a few
years later Rockne came into his
own with similar attack, shift
ing only the backfield and the
ends, while Williams in his for
nation employed combination
Of line and backfield movement.
Warner and many other foot
ball coaches have stated that
the shift attack was designed
mainly to overwhelm the defen-
sive tackle, and that it was in
most cases illegal as it involved
gathering momentum. In fact,
the shifting team never did carry
the advantage Of momentum any
way. 1t is entirely a shift to
the side position, right or left.

FUTURE PLAN
DEPENDS0N
SUCCESS

ANNAPOLIS, Oct. 24.-With
the game against University Of
Pennsylvania in Philadelphia next
Saturday, the Naval Academy foot
ball team begins a series of five
games against some Of the
strongest college teams, all taking
place away from Annapolis.
Though Navy teams have been
undertaking severe schedules for
a number of years, none has ever
equalled the undertaking of the
present team in meeting five such
opponents on other fields in sue
eessive weeks.
A week after the Pennsylvania
game, the Navy team will oppose
Notre Dame in Baltimore and then
Columbia and Princeton at New
York and Princeton, respectively.
A week after the Princeton game,
Navy will return to Philadelphia
to meet Army.
To Decide Policy
The result of these games will
determine the success or failure
of the season from the Navy
standpoint, and may have an I'M
portant bearing on its athletic
policy.
If Navy fails to make a show
ing in the series of games to be
played, it is likely that it will be
regarded as an indication that it
is useless for it to attempt such
schedules as that of the present
and last several seasons. Some
Navy people are already inclined
to think this.
The game with Pennsylvania is
not only the lead-off of this high
ly important series of games, but
it is one which Navy feels it must
win if it is to make its season at
all successful. Navy has won
four of the six games played in
the present series with Penn and
has a decided advantage this year
in it's earlier start. The game will
be the fifth for Navy and the third
for Penn.
The result of the series of five
games will not have any effect
upon the schedule for next year.
That schedule is nearly settled at
present and will be along the lines
of the schedule for this season,
the Navy team meeting most of
the same major opponents. It
may have a good deal of influence,
however, upon succeeding sched-
ules.
One of Big Years
This is one of the Navy's big
years so far as material goes, and
unusual efforts have been made
to develop a strong team and
plenty of requirements. Never in
its history has it had so large a
varsity squad and so many sea-
soned players. Indications are
for somewhat smaller number
of experienced players next sea-
son.
1t has been usual for the team
to start this year with from seven
to nine members of the graduat-
ing class in the lineup and a
number of the best replacement
players belong to the same class.
The loss of the players will be a
serious one and it may be some
years before the material is as
strong.
The series. therefore, offers
Navy a chance to show that it
can perform creditably in fast
eOnpany.

Soldiers Surprised


Soldiers Surprised
When our American soldiers
returned from the World War
they were surprised to find boil
ermakers and other huskies fitted
out in silk shirts. At that time
football players were using equip
ment about as rough as canvas.
Strange to say, the depression
reversed all that-the boilermak-
ers now wear horsehair shirts
while football players in their
big games often appear in bril-
liant silk shirts.
Silk has it's advantages-it is
hard to hold, it is brilliant and,
therefore, greatly appreciated by
the spectators, but to this must
be added its greatest advantage
it is as light and tough as a
bantam champion. Two features
are essential in modern equip
ment-lightness and strength.
How much farther this idea can
be carried is hard to predict
already this season several play
ers have lost their pants in a
game, due to the belts being too
thin.

With the vogue for hand
made things of all kinds, and
with the fact that many of us
must economic anyway, this is
the year to make gifts.
Knitting and crocheting have
become a popular sport, rather
than a duty, and are used to
while away many an evening,
so it's really more fun than trou-
BILE.
You can exchange designs
with your friends, and gossip
over new stitches to your hearts
content, for there's a revival
abroad of these honey arts.
Stitch, Stitch, Stitch
You can make wearables,
household articles, toys, and
novelties. There's almost un-
limited choice. You can crochet
and knit in cotton, silk, crepe
paper or wool.
You can make velvet or crepe
scarfs and bags, embroider
monograms on household or per-
sonal articles, stitch up dainty
lingerie or blouse.
And every gift you make will
be doubly welcome because it
will have much of yourself in it.
Decorative Bouquet
Just to help you get started,
we're offering free instructions
today to two articles that are
easy to make.
In the larger photograph is a
bunch of flowers, crocheted of
cotton. Or if you want you can
convert the directions, and make
them of wool. They're attractive
in two or three vivid colorS, such
as mule and rust with green
leaf, or yellow and orange for a
brown suit or dress.
They will do marvelS in dress

champagne.
Best Vintages
The finest vintage years in
France for champagne were
1870, 1874, 1878, 1880, 1889,
1892, 1898, 1898, 1900, 1904,
1906, 1911, 1919, 1921, 1923,
1926, and probably 1928. Good
years we're 1895, 1899, 1914, 1915,
1920, and 1924.
The best champagnes are
Veuve Cliquot, Piper Heidsieck,
Lanson, Moet and Chandon,
Ayala, Delbeck, Perrier-Jouet,
Pol Roger, Dummy, Mumm and
Pommery. Extra dry cham
payne is preferred by gourmets,
because the greater amount
of sugar is a Sweeter wine is
likely to hide defects.
Sweets: Crepe Suzette Chin
pancakes cooked in flaming
orange liqueur. There is no
more dramatic dessert than
this; and after it a fine
brandy should be served with
special black coffee, prepared
at the table.
Or one could order in place
of Crepes Suzette, Strawberry
mousse with cherry brandy, or
Savarin au rhum, as served at
Montague, in Paris.
White wine is served with

And not a ghillie oxford in
the whole Yale Bowl!
And why? Because, my dears,
all these bright young things
we're going on to cocktail par
ties and tea dances after the
game-and were they going to
look like somebody's poor rela-
ton in SLOUGH hat and
sweater, while their luckier sis
tiers Haunted their furs and
satins? No-not for all the
Stylists in New York!
About the only thing that
saved us from complete break
down was this fact-that in
New York, Philadelphia and
other large cities, the football
crowd does wear sports clothes,
tweed suits and sweaters.
That's because they're almost
all about-toWners, and can dash
home and change for any
merry-making after the game.
It's different, of course, in col
lege towns where the crowd is
largely drawn from out-of-town
alumni, who have no oppor-
tunity to change into formal
clothes after the game.
Twin Sweaters
They call them twin sweater
sets, but they're really no more
alike than many human twins
