The Five Toughest.

A N EARNEST ponderer and stu
~ dent of foot ball form charts
~ has written in, asking us to
name what we consider the
five hardest, closest games on next
Saturdays schedule and therefore the
five hardest to pick.
Here are just a few suggestions:
l. Pittsburgh and Notre Dame
both strong, with Notre Dame improv-
ing each week. Two high-powered
backfelds, with little choice.
2. Chicago and Purdue-Chicago
unbeaten, with Purdue another foot
ball team since Duane Purvis and his
wounded instep returned to form.
Purvis, Carter and Berwanger should
put on quite a backfleld show.
8. Texas and Southern Methodist
two of the best from the Southwest,
where foot ball is at high tide.
4. Illinois and the Army, where
Buckler and Stancook will be
tossed in against Lindberg and
Beynon. k-..
S. You can make several choices
here that are somewhat shrouded in
fogs and mists. There is the Yale
Dartmouth meeting, fer one. 1t will
be interesting to see whether Blaik
and Ellinger can disperse the old Eli
hoooo that has surrounded the Green
from one decade to another. Holy
Cross and Temple make another
tough selection. The Navy, minus
Dornin, one OF her crack ends, will
nave no frolic with Washington and
Lee
These are few of Saturdays trou-
BILE nominations to be considered.
Changing Tides.
Y you know how foot ball goes, u
I remarked Ray Morrison, the
Mustang coach, as he started
back for Texas after the Fordham
game.
Sections vary from one year to an
other just as teams do. 1t SO happens
this Fall that the Southwest is on one
of its highest levels. Including
Louisiana State, a powerful outfit,
there are also Rice, Texas, Centenary,
Southern Methodist and one or two
others. which have their share of fine
foot ball players-big, strong, fast boys
who know what they are doing.
"You could pick four teams from
this section which would certainly
be a match for any four teams you
might name from any other section
and / don't care which rival Sec
tion you might pick out.
Several of us are much better than
we were a year ago when there were
so many sophomores on their way up,
The foot ball fever is running high
all through the Southwestern country
where man-power always is plentiful. u
Don't you think college teams will
be coming more and more to the open
game-to forwards and laterals and
variations?" asked. -
There already has been big ad-

to happen when two strong pass-de-

Vanderbilt comes here with the truly
rare record of having intercepted as

Morrison said. Fundamentals al
ways must remain the leading basis
blocking, tackling and kicking, with a
running attack. A strong running
game is one Of the essentials. But
ability to put on a wide open attack
is vital necessity against strong
opponent. The Navy had wide
open attack against Columbia, but the
Navy also had two fine ball carriers
in Berries and Clark, who could hit
a line or skirt an end.'

Passes Worry Pixlee.

@OACH JIM PIXLEE is laying a lot
of stress this week on stopping
long and short passes, mostly
long, from kick formation. He knows
that hts George Washington team, no
matter how well it may play in its
line, no matter how good may it be
in secondary defense in backing up
that line against running attack,
may face almost demoralizing situa-
ton If it is not able to stop Wander
bilt's long passes far down the field to
ends and backs.
There is nothing more disconcerting
to team than to be stopping every
thing that an opponent offers in the
way of running attack and be unable
to prevent long passes dropping inter-
mittently for gains of Is or 80 yards.
1t is this possible situation that
Coach Pixlee will strive to prevent by
bending most Of his energies this week
to a defense for it. Five yards or so
on q rushing play Saturday should
not mean much in PiXlee's life, but 25
on a long pass will. And Vanderbilt
is pretty sure to throw a good many
of them unless it has greatly changed
its offensive tactics, which it prob
ably has not.
Besides that type of play. Pixlee
also is giving a lot of attention to his
tackles because the young gentlemen
who play those positions for George
Washington are due to get a real
pounding. No other foot ball team
hammers away in mass play at the
short bucks and driving plays from the
far back position and in cutbacks.
Sometimes as many as three men sail
into the tackle to put him out of play.
Its drives on tackle are based on a
power plan, the exact opposite of the
Notre Dame system, which attempts
to trick the tackle into position where
he can be blocked by one man.

PREDICTS PRICE. |0F SILVER, COL D
 TO BE ADVANCED
White Metal to Co to$1. .29
 an Ounce, Yellow Met al Up to $4l.34

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Sept. .25.-United States Senator Key Pullman, of Nevada, asserted in a speech before the Western Division of the American Mining Congress, that he believed the price of silver will be raised to $l29 an ounce, by a gradual process, and the price of gold will go to $41.34 an ounce.
 Senator Pittman said his pre- dictions is based on the belief that the price of silver will be bid up in order to get the amount of sil- yer the President is required to purchase under the Silver Act of 1894.
 For World Trade
 The veteran leader of the Silver Bloc said one reason President Roosevelt is moving slowly in the purchase of silver and lifting the price is because he stresses the importance of encouraging world trade.
 Senator Pittman said China has already produced and is holding for a rise much white metal and this has injured Chinese manufac- turers and exporters.
 Senator Pittman added that the American exports to China have increased. especially lumber from the west coast.
 Get Together
 W. Mont Ferry, of Salt Lake, Chairman of the program commit tee, sounding the keynote of the convention, urged that mining men discard the traditional individualism and unite to secure proper recogni- zation of the industrial importance of metal mi ming and prevent it being burdened further by taxes and restrictive legislation.

LECI0NNAIRES RETURN HOME
 FROM MEETING
Declare Ketchikan Conven,
 ton Greatest Ever Held by Alaska Organization

After taking part in what is said to have been the most successful and largely attended convention of American Legionnaires and mem- bers of the Legion Auxiliary ever held in Alaska, those who made the trip from Juneau returned to- day on the steamer Alaska from Ketchikan where the big gathering took place.
 In addition to business meetings of the Legion, there were many social gatherings, both formal and informal. Two parades were held during the week by the visiting Legionnaires and Ketchikan mem- bers, on regular parade with Colors and the other a comedy masque parade. In the first, one of the most impressive units was a drill team made up of women of the Ketchikan Auxiliary, dresse in smart uniforms, the Juneau dele gation declared.
 Big Climax
 The week was climaxed on Sat- urday night when a large banquet was held in the Masonic Hall, fol- lowed by a huge convention bali, attended by hundreds.
 In addition to the delegates from all over Alaska, the 40 and 8 "wrecking team" arrived from Se- attle in the motorship Faglet. The team, made up largely of profes- sional men from the Puget Sound metropolis, acted as crew of the boat on the trip. That it was an efficient "wrecking team" can be ascertained by questioning any of those wrecked" into the 40 and 8" during the convention.
 Those who became members of this society within the Legion were Harry Coulter, Ernest M. Campbell and Charlie Moore, of Wrangell; Adlen B. Holt, Petersburg; Leon- ard Hopkins, Seward; Ralph Mo- Collough, Cordova; Walter B. King Karl A. Drager, Earl Brown, Ralph (COntinued on Page TWO)s

 IN NEW YORK HOME
Nails Discovered Similar to Those Used in Con-

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.- District Attorney Foley an- nOunced after another Grand Jury session this forenoon that the case against Bruno Richard Hauptmann is com plete.
 Foley said it was disclosed before the Grand Jury that two closet panels were found in the Hauptmann home bear ing the address and telephone number of "Jafsie" also that bills with serial numbers, one of which was found to be No II. ransom bill, were found.
 Foley also said some nails, two and one half inches long, bearing the same markings as used in the kidnap ladder, were found in Hauptmann's garage
 Meanwhile, in Washington, the similarity between Haupt- mann's footprints and those found near the Lindbergh home at Hopewell, was dis closed by the Department of Justice.
 Foley said Hauptmann admitted he wrote Jafsie's name, address and telephone number on the closet panels because he was interested in the kidnap case.
 Foley said the panels were proof enough for him that Hauptmann communicated with Jafsie regard ing negotiations and that "Haupt- mann was undoubtedly the man
