In District

Gone is the day Of horse
drawn vehicles.
At least so far as the District
Of Columbia refuse division is
concerned.
Hearings on the 1885 appro-
priations bill, reported out to-
day, revealed there are only IL
horses still in active service,
and all of these will be gone
by July /.
The post Of veterinarian is
therefore abolished in the bill
to effect a saving Of $2,850, and
and the Health Department will

Yale.Columbia Tilt
Breaks Tradition
Usual Warm-Up Games Omitted
This Year; Big Encount-
ers Dot Schedule

New York, Oct. 4.-(P)-The GUS
tomary calm Of the regular season
football program in the East, where
tradition demands q few tune-up
games for the big teams before the
start Of the serious business Of the
season, Is broken this week when Yale
and Columbia open the season against
each other.
Such contest is rare along the At
lantic seaboard at this time Of the
year even though big" games already
have begun to dot the schedules for
the rest Of the nation. The only ex-
PLANTATION seems to be that it was the
only available spot on the program.
In contrast to this, the other con-
servatives start off as usual. Har-
ward and Princeton face the custom
ary curtain-raising opponents, Bates
and Amherst. Penn starts against
Ursinus: Syracuse meets Clerkson:
Fordham opens with Westminster and
Colgate with st. Lawrence.
The Western Conference opening
furnishes . sharp contrast to the
Eastern program with such important
encounters Is Indiana Ohio State
and Iowa. Northwestern to help decide
championship aspirations and other
major clashes including Minnesota
Nebraska. Rice-Purdue and Mar
quette- Wisconsin. In the same terri
tory there is Notre Danes struggle
with Texas.

Sioux Coaches Worry
Over Tackle Problem

Grand Forks, N. D., Oct. A.
Tackles, the football wise will inform
you, are the key men on any football
teams defense, and the exactness Of
that statement is causing Coach Jack
West Of the University Of North Da-
kota and his assistant, Buck Starbeck,
to sprout . few extra gray hairs.
Perhaps 1t was the drouth or some
new allotment theory, but at any rate,
the shortage Of tackles on the Sioux
squad is taking on q devastating as
pect as the season progresses and the
opposition becomes keener. There are
only four legitimate tackles on the
entire squad, and Of these only al
Sowl, 200 pound junior, has ever play
ed regularly. Bill Goethel, 200 pound
senior. has been q reserve for two
seasons, while Louis Chumich, 20j
pounds, and Martin Gainor. 100
pounds, are sophomores who are will
ing but lack the all-important re-
quisite, experience.
The fans who congregate daily to
watch practice have noticed the
tackle crop failure" and have asked
repeatedly. where are the tackles OF
yesteryear?" They have particular
reference to such behemoths as Ted
Meinhover. 6 feet inches tall and
weighing $50 pounds. who starred
here for the past three years, and Milt
Wick, 200 FOUNDER.

Heavyweight contsnders En-.
ter Elimination for Right
70 Meet 6asr

New York, Oct. 4.-(RHsteve Ha-
mas, the former Pennsylvania COL
legian, who made good along Cauli-
flower row, gets his chance Friday
night to prove that he is the logical
man to oppose Max Baer in the lat
ter's first defense Of his heavyweight
title.
Hamas is billed to step ten rounds
with Art Lasky Of Minneapolis, out
standing Jewish heavyweight, in the
opening bout Of the indoor season in
Madison Square Garden.
Later in the winter the Garden
management plans to bring the other
leading heavyweights, including Max
schmeling and Primo Camera, both
former champions. and Jack Peterson,
together in Z series Of bouts to deter
mine an opponent for Baer.
Despite the fact that he has q
clean-cut victory over schmeling to
his credit, Hamas likely will be on the
short end Of s to betting odds Friday
night.
Both boys completed training We'd

Jackrabbit Backfield
Star Found Ineligible

Grand Forks. n. D., Oct. 4.-(PD-
DR.. George Talbert, chairman OF the
north central conference eligibility
committee, announced Wednesday
that after going over all the data on
the case Of Sol Kramer, South Dako-
t. state quarterback, he found the
athlete ineligible to compete In con-
ference athletics.
Kramer entered University Of South
Dakota In January 1913, went to
South Dakota State in the fall Of 1928
and entered University Of North Da-
kota In the fall Of 1881.
Talbert says Kramer was ct North
Dakota when the conference rule
making any student migrating from
one institution to another in the cir
cult ineligible for athletic COMPETE
ton was passed. It Is his opinion
that Kramer was m offender against
that rule when he moved to the state
III 1881 and that no rule or resolution
since passed has restored him to good
standing.
A resolution later adopted makes
it possible for I student to compete
In conference athletic competition II

Looks Like Pirates In 1927
When Babe and Lou finally put In
an appearance and began hitting
groove balls" in practice with such
force that seats were splintered IN
the outfield stands, the worst fears of
the Pirates seemed realized. Came the
opening Of the series. the BUGS began
kicking the ball around and 1t Tested
only until the fourth and final game
was lost on wild pitch. They were
over-awed from start to finish.
This year the Dean Brothers and
their pitching exploits spread some.
thing akin to apprehension through
the jungletown. After being all set to
tackle the fading Giants, Detroit sud-
denly found itself obliged to face the
greatest pitching pair in baseball.
Not since Ruth's palmiest days has
any individual performer so caught the
popular imagination as Dizzy Dean.
His proves had every chance to ex-
pand in Tiger minds, thanks to an
extraordinary buildup, and he didn't
disappoint them very much.
Infield Collapses
The collapse of Detroit,s infield to
such an extent that Greenberg, 0eh-
ringer, Rogell and Owen joined in
making five errors in only 2l-3 i'll
nings gives them the dubious distinc-
ton Of trying to Guido the 1909 Tigers,
who rolled up an all-time series rec
ord Of 10 miscues in seven games.
They were only one short OF the single
game record Of six, jointly charged
to the White Sox of 1906 and 1917
and the Pirates of 1909, which SEEM
ed to have been the great fumbling
year.
The explanations, none Of them
helpful to the present Tigers, are ID
too much tension, brought on by
hometown enthusiasm; a. addition
al strain caused by the 2o-minute de-
lay in starting the first game: and
% the burden of being christened
the battalion of DEATH" They're
sorry now that anybody brought that
one up.

MONTANA OUTFIT
WON ENCOUNTERS.
LAST. TWO YEARS
Bud kanz Back in Uniform But
Will Probably Not Start
in Lineup
SAINTS TACKLE BEULAH
Meinhover's Charges Gained
Confidence in Triumph Over
Hazen Last Week

Bismarck's Demon football eleven
will tackle their first out-of-state gri6
opponents this year when they meet
the Glendive, Montana, team under
the floodlights Of Hughes Field at S
p. M, Friday night.
Smarting under defeats at the
hands Of the Montana eleven in the
past two years, the Demon squad will
throw everything into the game Fri
day in an effort to break the spell
the out-of-state visitors have cast
over them. Last year the Glendive
team emerged with q I to s triumph
after hard fought battle and the
year before the margin Of one touch
down gave them victory, 6 too.
Glendive took 1t on the chin last
week from veteran Dickinson aggre-
cation, the final score being u to 0,
while Bismarck was being downed by
their inter-city rivals from across the
river, Z to s.
Coach Mcleod was dissatisfied. with
the blocking and tackling in last
weeks game and has been stressing
these two fundamentals In every
practice session this week.
Kanx Back In Uniform
Bud Kanz. captain and fullback Of
the Demon eleven, has been in uni
form this week but is still not recov-
cred completely from the injury he
received in the jamestown game. Nc
Leod said he expected to have his
star back dressed for the game Fri
day but would probably not start him
against the Glendive team.
It is expected that the same lineup
that took the field against the Braves
last Friday will get the starting call
in the game with Glendive, though
several Of the positions are threat
ened by aspiring reserves.
Coach Ted Meinhover takes his st.
Mary's charges to Beulah Friday for
q game with the high school squad
there.
The st. Mary's athletes were greatly
heartened by their victory over Ha-
zen last week and have gained the
confidence they needed to show to the
best advantage.
Beulah has strong machine and
will give the Saints real test in the
encounter Friday.

Waite Hoyt Years
Biggest Comeback
Pitches ~ Victories With Only
Five Defeats for Fifth
Place Club

Pittsburgh, Oct. 4.-(NEA)-Before
the football campaign becomes q
frenzy Of Red Raiders, laundering
Herds, Green Waves, Golden Ava
lanches and Crimson Tides, some
body ought to lead a cheer for Waite
Hoyt, Of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
For Old Man Hoyt, in his 10th sum-
mer as major league finger, and
with fifth place outfit. has accom-
plished:
Fourteen victories, with only five
defeats.
TWO shutouts. one one-hit per-
Torrance against the first division
Boston Braves.
A triumph over Dizzy Dean In
which he yielded the Cardinals six
hits, . performance which snapped
the st. Louis stars victory string at
10 straight.
One hundred seventy-two innings
pitched in IS contests, 20 games Of
which he appeared in as . relief work
er before he received his first starting
assignment late in June.
Given the Gate
All this after one club had traded
him, another had waived him away
q third had released him outright
and two others had taken him on "a
q free agent only to cut him loose q
useless.
Record books show that Hoyt
passed his 35th birthday on Sept. o
but II this be true, he began his
pitching career when he was only Il
years old. More than likely he wa
II or IL then. so he probably is 81 o.
80 now. Birth statistics Of ball play
ers frequently are doctored, particu.
larly when they are breaking In, t.
make them appear younger.

Untried Buckeye Team PIunges Into
Big Ten Campaign Against Hoosiers
Mcmillin Has Already Had
Somewhat Unorthodox In.
diana offense on Display

Chicago, Oct. ,4.-(R-Ohio States
Buckeyes will plunge straight into
their big ten football schedule sat-
urday against Indiana without SO
much as q warmup game under their
belts.
Both coaches. Francis Schmidt Of
Ohio State, and Alvin (Bo) McMillin
Of Indiana, will be directing their
squads for the first time in western
conference championship competition.
The Hoosiers already have put their
somewhat unorthodox offense on dis
play, against Ohio University OF
Athens, O., Schmidt was right on the
spot to scout the game and has a
pretty definite notion of what to ex-
pect. However, as Ohio State had
not played game. McNlillin can only
guess what kind Of an offense will be
flung at his Hoosiers.
Anticipating an aerial battle, In
diana was drilled Wednesday on q
forward pass defense and worked to
smooth up its own tossing game, The
Buckeyes have practiced all week on
defensive measures calculated to
thwart McMillans "five-man" back
field maneuver.
1ndiana's surprising show Of power
in defeating Ohio University, ~ to o
has made the Hoosiers about an even
bet against the Bucks.
Northwestern, which had expected
to depend on passes against Iowa in
the other conference game, suddenly
found its running game in working
order Wednesday. At the same time,
the Hawkeyes' passing games showed
marked improvement, which promises
a great battle at Evanston.
Hard work in the other camps, with
the exception Of Chicago, ended We'd
nesday. Purdue's regulars looked bad
against Rice-style passes, and Mime
sofa hurried preparation on its over
head game in preparation for Me-
braska. Illinois continued to smooth
up its fancy plays. Doc Spears made
more changes in the Wisconsin lineup
trying to get together an effective
combination for the opener against
Marquette.
Michigan went through another
drill on defense against Michigan
State forwards, and Chicago, with no
game until q week from Saturday,
plugged along on new plays. The
blocking was again source Of dis
satisfaction to Coach Elmer Layden
at Notre Dame.

He became Z conscientious trainer.

tanned that condition by working

CASEY STENCIL PRAISES CARDS.
'DUCKY' MEDWICK IN PARTICULAR
Hitting Star Of Opening Game
Has Running Start To-
ward Series Record

Detroit. Oct. 4.-(P)-As an old
world series hero himself and the
man now best known for his part in
proving to the Giants that Brooklyn
still is in the National League. Casey
Stengel has a few kind words to say
Thursday for the Cardinals in general
and Joe tDucky Wucky) MedWick in
Particular.
Tin not insisting that the Card
inals cut me in on their world series
money" smiled the Brooklyn manager,
but my club helped them prove they
are the best team in the National
League and get the chance to win this
world series. As for Medwick. he is
liable to blow more of the Tigers down
than the Deans. He's one Of the
greatest natural hitters have seen
in years" ...
Hitting star Of the opening game
against the Tigers, with four booming
base hits. including homer. that tied
a world series record. Medwick looks
ripe for a smuggling spree that will SET
an all-time mark. Only two others
among the dozen who have collected
four hits in single series game
Frank F'risch with the Giants of 1921
and Mel OFT of the 1888 New York
club-turned the trick in the first
game.
Off to q Running Start
The 22-year-old better from Car
teret, N. j.. thus has running start
toward Babe Ruths record of 10 hits
for a four-game series or the top
+! figure of IL hits for a longer struggle,
jointly held by Joe Jackson. Buck
Herzog and Medwicks own teammate,
Pepper Martin.
Whether it was just case Of tenn
porary buck fever" brought on by an
accumulation of events, the fact is no
club has looked quite so bad as the
current Tigers at the outset Of big
money battle since the Pittsburgh
Pirates of 1927 staggered into the Ma
tional League championship and. thcr,
outfumbled the New York Yankees in
four consecutive world series games.
| Mickey Cochrane's jittery athletes
may shake off the st. Louis Blues
Thursday. They are q far better
ball club than they looked against
Dean. Medwick 81 Co.. In the opener
They proved they had courage and re-
source in the clutches by the way
they battered their way to the top
of the American League but for the
time being their case is ominously
parallel to the plight Of the Pirates
seven seasons ago.
The bugaboos of 1927 were the cele-
brated home run twins, Babe Ruth
and Lou Gehrig. Such was the growth
of imagination in Pittsburgh minds
that the Yankee sluggers assumed
the stature of giants who habitually
Dashed opposing pitchers and fright.

Than Last Year; Watch
Mississippi Teams


Athens. Ca. Oct. 4.-With tho
rumblings Of southern football war.
fare just beginning its annual cres.
cendo, it seems = bit early to make
any certain predictions concerning
what will happen.
AND yet, q long glance through thu
sports binoculars shows something ~
q mountain looming on the horizon
IA mountain that bears the proud
lettering Of Georgia Tech. This team
was mighty good last year, but Old
man hard luck backed it down thu
line with great regularity.
That the team was better than its
record showed needs little proving
since Georgia Tech smashed unbeat-
en- Duke out Of the national cham-
pionship picture In q manner that
proved true class. Bill Alexander
may have had his team pointing for
the tobacco kings, but the team led
oy the brilliant Shorty Roberts func-
toned like q well-oiled watch.
DISCUSSION of Georgia Tech must
inevitably bring up the subject Of
Duke. Duke would have gone through
last season indicated had it not
been Tor Georgia Tech. And Duke
figures to have an edge on most
southern and far southern teams.
Cornelius Senaation
Barring the position OF right tackle.
Duke already has q team that would
warm the heart Of any coach. De-
fensively. this team might not meet
the standard, but its backfield can 70
places. Corky Cornelius has about
everything coach or q team could
desire. He can place kick in q man
ner that makes one think Of Wis
Cousins Fat O'Dea. and he can run
and pass In the bargain.
Cornelius, who may well be an ALL
American selection, will be conserved
and aided by m exceedingly fast
blocking back named Elmer Tarrall.
Tarrall Is track man. weighing ITO
pounds and he is q certain and dead
~ blocker.
It may seem that undue emphasis
Is being placed upon these two teams
while. as matter Of fact, Dixie foot
ball Is stronger than ever before.
AAO0OSAy ~ - O0AC W 08y t1AL u no
time has the south Is ! whole been
able to boast such prospects.
Muddy Mississippi
Bob Neyland will have no bed OF
roses at Tennessee, since most Of his
better players have passed through
the portals Of learning. Tulane may
b weaker than tn former years, es-
pecially since 1t tragically lost sew
eral good men in an automobile &C
cident.
But, to offset this. Hunk Andcr-
son will unquestionably have an abls
aggregation at North Carolina State,
despite his late arrival there. Carl
Snavely at North Carolina should be
heard from. Georgia is up to par.
and Alabama, with its wealth Of ma
terial, might well be one Of the sur
prises Of southern football.
Moreover. the Mississippi teams
have come into their own, and viii
be fighting bitter battle with the
teams along the great river. It would
not be ct all surprising II these teams
should run away with the greater
share Of the glory In that sector.
Last year they served full notice
of their coming worth. and unques-
tionably will make their Louisiana
colleagues come to attention.
