ATTEMPT TO ROB GAS STATION IS
 BOILED TO-DAY
Breaking Glass Awoke the Waterman at Thomas
 ton Ave Filling Place

Awakened by the crash of shat tered glass, Patrick Behan this morning at o'clock foiled an at- tempt at burglarizing a gasoline station at 1758 Thomaston avenue when his shouts led one of three men who had broken into the sta ton to drop the cash register which he was carrying away. The three bandits, who apparently had not known that Behan slept at the gas station, made 8 safe getaway in a small sedan, the markers of which were covered with cloth.
 Motor Patrolman Vincent Begg secured the neighborhood for al- most an hour after the attempted burglary had been reported to him but was unable to find any trace of the three men or of the car which they had used. The station is operated by James McMahon.
 A good part of the days receipts are kept in the cash register, since Behan's sleeping at the gas station led the owner to believe that he would be alarmed by sounds of any attempted break. The register was somewhat damaged when dropped by the thief, who lost his hat as he fl ed to the. car in which he and his two companions sped away. The hat is held by police as evidence.
 Behan was sleeping soundly when the chatter of breaking glass woke him up. Getting up and go- ing into the main room at the gas station, he saw the three men there, one of them with the cash register in his hands. He shouted and the men ran from the place the register being dropped on the floor.
 Behan tried to get the markers of the car but they were covered with cloth both in front and back He gave police general descriptions of the bandit trio.

 The arrest in Bridgeport this morning of the third member of the gang, James Gravelin, 35, of Manhan street, gave new impetus to efforts to locate the rest of the stolen gems. Thus far only the more inexpensive of the items stolen from Miss Soule's home have been located.
 Gravelin was brought back to this city this afternoon by Detec-, tive Sergt. Henry Johnson and De- tective Connie Shanahan. He was immediately placed under severe questioning at police headquarters in an attempt to find out where the rest of the missing jewelry is.
 Still missing is a diamond ring. valued at $500. and more than. a dozen other articles of jewelry. The diamond is from Tiffany's and is described as being more than carat in size.

 Kidnapirlg
By JULIUS FRANDsEN

United Press Stan COrrespondent)
 Washington, Oct 17-(UP) 1.-The department of justice, almost with in . matter of hours after abduc- tioR of Mrs Alice StolI last Wednes- day, pointed the finger of accusa. ton to Thomas H. Robinson. Jr, as her kidnaper.
 The story of that Identification, revealed today, was that of another triumph for the departments ever alert and machine-like division of investigation.
 Although they named Robinson as the kidnaper, federal agents had to act with utmost caution until Mrs Stoll was returned. Her safety was foremost.
 Here is how scientific criminal Identification pointed to Robinson:
 The kidnapers' designation in the ransom note of T. H. Robinson, ST. of Nashville as the desired inter- mediary led to immediate inquiry by Nashville federal agents. They found his son had g minor police record.
 Copy of Ransom Note

-SPORT | |SIANTS | By ALAN GOULD A

The answer may be that college football moves in distinct cycles, so far as the prowess of one team or another is concerned, but you can't convince most of Princeton's rivals these autumn afternoons that it's simply one of those pe- riodic coincidences that within less than three years the Tigers have emerged from the depths with one of the greatest squads of gridiron talent the East has ever seen. s
 No one begrudges Princetons return to conspicuous place in the football picture. Great teams are no novelty to the Jungletown, where the history of brilliant per- formance goes back to the cradle days of the game, but I doubt even if Tiger enthusiasts relish such things as the 75-0 massacre of Amherst or get much satis- faction out of seeing Fritz Crisler's steam roller flatten Cornell by 45 to 0.
 ''The plain fact is that the bal ance of man power has become so distorted that Princeton must soon look toward the West for really strenuous competition or else sched- ule the rugged, heavily-manned Army team" writes George Ire yor in the New York. Sun. What scrap the Tigers and Cadets would put on this yeari"
 The truth of the matter is that
The Daily Alaska empire., 1934-11-16

the college football situation has got all out of focus again in the last few years.
 It isn't so much a matter of having or not having top-notch winning teams as it is of arriving at some basis for common un- derstanding or better schedule making. For Princeton's manpow CT, this years schedule is little more than breezy workout. It may be argued that Cornell. liar yard and Yale are either below standard or still struggling With innovations, but the fact is that they are outclassed by he Tigers.
 Washington and Lee came close to springing an upset and Dart mouth may develop sufficiently to give the Tigers all they can handle in the final game of the season for both teams, but other wise it's just a sparring session for the Bengals. s
 Three-S Sided Peace
 One of the by-products of the football situation, concerning the old Big Three, is the indication that Yale has finally come around to Harvard's idea of making the annual game between the Blue and the Crimson the climax event for both universities.
 To keep peace with both friend ly rivals, it has been Yale's GUS tom to alternate Harvard and Princeton as final opponent, much to Harvard's annoyance. This was one of the contributing req sons to the Harvard-Princeton break eight years ago. The Grim son agreed to play the Tigers again only on the basis of mid season date and has no intention of restoring the three-cornered rivalry of old to it's traditional place on the eastern calendar. s rs
 Now it seems Yale, too, is will ing to see things Harvard's way and that after 1885 the Ellis and the Johnnies will focus upon each ether for the grand finale annual 1y
