of highways to the state trunk sys-
tenn. The state Commissioner of High
ways, NJ w. Elsberg, stresses this
amendment very much as it will pro-
vide also that the additions now made
to the system will have to be IS per-
cent improved before other mileage
can be added. Ratification of the
amendment is also important because
unless it is ratified some of the new
routes designated might be forced
back onto the counties, in which they
are located, for maintenance.
No. 2-This amendment will, if
passed, authorize the taxing of lands
reverting back to the Rural Credit de-
partment. If it is not passed then
state lands will still remain tax ex-
empt and thereby will continue to add
considerable obligation onto the pri-
vate real estate taxpayers inasmuch
as their taxes will inevitably raise in
proportion to meet the needs of gov
eminent.
No. 3-The purpose and effect of
this amendment is to grant to the
legislature, in addition to the power
now granted by said section to exempt
personal property, the authority to ex-
empt from taxation, such household
goods of each household, and such
farm machinery of each farm, as it
may see fit. BY the present Section 1
of Article 9 the legislature is granted
the authority to exempt from taxation
unspecified personal property not ex-
ceeding in value 5000 for each house
hold, individual, or head of family
In short, the amendment would in
crease the exemption on household
goods and farm machinery.
No. 1.-The purpose and effect of
this amendment is to authorize the
Legislature to provide for exchanging
any of the public lands of the state
for lands Of the United States and
lands privately owned. Such ex-
because the state constitution does not
pemit the legislature to authorize the
sale of school lands, state swamp
lands, and state internal improvement
lands except by public sale. One i'm
mediate purpose in granting such au-
thOrity is to make it possible for the
state to acquire compact areas of land
for forestry and other conservation
purposes by exchanging land outside
of such conservation areas for lands
of the United States and privately
owned lands within such areas.
h
stance, is to prevent educational in
situations from keeping any lands tax
exempt which are not used for actual
educational purposes. This amend
ment would define what lands are
used by academies. colleges, UNIVERSE
ties and all seminaries of learning as
being used by such institutions in the
instruction and housing of the stu
dents thereof and residences on the
campus actually occupied by instruc-
tors of such institutions.

ELI'S FIRST TILT
 PLEASES MENTOR
Yale to Perfect Warner System for Penn Tussle
 Saturday

New Haven, Conn, Oct s.-(UP) Head Coach Raymond J. '(Ducky) Pond kept two things in mind as he led his Yale gridiron squad into practice today to re- hearse for Saturdays game with
 Pennsylvania. One was that he has the material and the spirit to muster good team after a bit more practice with his revised Warner system, and the other that Yale might have held her own against Lou Little's Lions if Al Barabas hadn't gone to Columbia.
 Notwithstanding the 12-6 de- feat last Saturday, Pond was sat- isfied he had been trimmed by a more seasoned team. His forward pass offensive had been we'll built and another week should bolster the line which appeared like a rubber band against the Columbia combination of Barabas. Bromin- ski and Tomb, who held a weight advantage over the Ellis.
 The practice session today called for light drills. For the next few days the varsity will be pitted against the Grays to perfect the new system and make ready to meet Pennsylvania with smooth CT functioning machine than ap- peared last Saturday on a rain soaked field and showed to fair ad- vantage.

 outstanding performance in the
 of the two day meet.
 Rosedale Bob, a small, lemon spotted pointer, owned by sam Faile of White Plains, New York, took second place, largely on the basis of magnifieently held point. Ranging wide in the last brace with Mrs Samuel R. Spencer's Po- hala,s Ribbon, Rosedale Bob cross ed into the bird field, found and staunchily held the point for sev- Feral minutes before the gallery could attract the attention of his handler. In meet that saw a number of badly broken points, Rosedale Bob's staunchness was notable.
 High Island Treve, small Eng fish setter owned by Fred Ewing of Greenwich. won third place, ap- parently over Already Farm. Tex, a big pointer owned by MT and Mrs George W. Cole of Bridge water. The work of High Island Treve was stylish and brainy. Arr cady Farm Tex, called out again r, svr fVI A11 marred an earlier fine perform first bird he found for the day.
 The winners of the Derby, all but two braces of which were run on Saturday, were announced yes- terday. They were: First, Tops Three Spot, owned by G. H. Turn ure of White Plains. N. r., second Rosedale Sally, owned by MT Faile and third, Pilgrim Lena, owned by Mike Simenatori of Woburn, Mass.
 Despite clear sky, the condi- tions were difficult Sunday. A hard northwest wind lifted the scent and at times made handling the dogs on the open course difficult, particularly on the leg against the wind. Tn the bird field there were a number of instances when exper- iencved dogs, running down wind, over-ran their birds without a chance to scent them. But the faults were not attributed to the committee or to the judges. Messrs Henry Davis of Bridgeport and Fred J. Brooks of Hadlyme.
 Unplaced entries in the All Age Stakes were: Ribbon, owned by Mrs Spencer; High Island Gaybird, owned by MT Ewing; Oronoke Sea- view Mike, owned by Dr c. H.

The casualty list after Saturdays unprecedented wave of upsets ifl-s cluded Michigan, Southern Caiifor- nia, Notre Dame, Purdue, Calpifor- mia, Northwestern, Cornell and Pennsylvania. Even the men who would die for dear old Rutgers took 1t on the chin.
 Among those wearing new laur- els are Ursinus, Richmond, Frank lin and Marshall, Rice, Texts u, Michigan State, Washington State, St. Mary's and Iowa.
 Hurt Coming Games
 The upsets removed much of the lustre from few would -have- been banner games on this weeks program. Southern California's inc vasion of Pittsburgh would be hailed as major leaguer had not the erstwhile mighty Trojans bowed to Washington State. Simi- larly the Notre Dame Purdue brawl would be head-l liner, had not those teams lost to Texas and Rice, respectively. Northwestern's $ visit to Stanford will be clouded by the trouncing Iowa gave North- western.
 Despite Yale's beating by Co., lumbia, the Yale Pennsylvania gave would have been well at tended had not Penn been bowled over by little Ursinus. And the Syracuse-Cornell encounter lacks dynamite following Cornel1's de- feat by Richmond. California, hailed as one of the strongest Pa ciflc coast teams this season, lost to Washington State, and now the experts wonder if Alonzo Stagg's rugged little college of the Pacific will tame the Golden Bears Sattir- day.
 Michigan vs Chicago
 Michigan, victim of the biggest upset in losing to Michigan Stata for its first defeat since 1881, will try a comeback against Chicago. The most Interesting clashes scheduled for this week-e are: Illinois Ohio State; Michigan State Carnegie Tech; Harvard Brown; {; Florida-Tulane; Dartmouth Maine; {; Rice-Southern Methodist, and Tex as-Oklahoma.
 Temple Looks Good
 Pop Warmers Temple eleven. making its bid for national recoE- milton, will tackle Indiana at Phil adelphia. Warmers outfit showed class in beating Texas A. and NJ, 40-6. Friday night.
 Big-time eastern teams which survived the epidemic of upsets should have comparatively easy sailing this week. Columbia meets Virginia Military; Princeton plays Williams; Fordham opposes Bos- ton College; and Army meets Drake. There is a possibility the Cadets may find stiff opposition in Drake, which was shaded by ok lahoma A. and M, 7-O. Navy has ! a push-over in Maryland.

If the Tigers win that game to. day they will have encomp passed ( feat that was beyond the power. of Tiger teams whose rosters bore such deathless names as Tyfus Raymond Cobb, Wahoo Sam Craw. ford, Harry Heilman, Bobby Veech the peerless.
 SchooIboy Favorite
 Being this close to triumph the Tigers take no chance, and today send Lynwood (Schoolboy) Rowe to the firing line. Schoolboy needed 12 innings to beat the Cards in the second game, but from the way he pitched the last nine of that game, 1t looks as though he won't need more than nine to mow down the Cards sluggers and end the series.
 St Louis will send in against the schoolboy, the junior member ot the Dean pitching family of Hold enyille, okla. He's Paul, (Daffy) Dean, and never in his short career was he so anxious for a win. Never before was the reputation of the family so much at stake. Brother Dizzy had his ears pinned back yesterday when the Tigers got sev- en hits and 3 to 1 victory.
 This triumph placed the Tigers in the lead for the first time in the series. It was due, more than anything else, Ito the grand pitching performance of Tommy Brudges, the Tigers No hufler, who, when hot, is very hot. He was very hot on Sunday.
 Bridges Supreme
 The record books show that Tommy limited the Cards to seven hits, but there's lots that doesn't show in the columns of statistics. From the time the first inning was complete until the game was over, Bridges had the Cardinal batsmen so thoroughly dominated that 1t never once seemed they had a chance. He relied almost solely on a speedball, and only late in the game did he begin mixing in any great number of curves.
 The game was the neatest played thus far. The Tiger tragedy of err rorD which gave the Cards the win in the first contest and the miser- ably played Saturday game in which the Cards duplicated the De- troit total of five misplays were all but forgotten in the zip and pepper with which the rivals com pleted the fifth battle.
 In the secdpd inning Dizzy walk ed Greenberg, who scored on Pete Fox's double.
 The Tigers counted twice in the sixth, Charley Gehringer connect ing for a homer, and Rogell SCOT ing on a single, Chuck Fullis' two- bare error and Hank Greenberg's long fly.
 .Delancey Homers-
 The lone Cardinal run was in the seventh when Bill Delaney parked a four-b base hit atop the pavilion. The Tigers, of course, are betting favorites, latest odds showed them 2 to 10 to win today and 1 to 4 to capture the series. It was even money against the Cards chances of winning today, and 2 1-2 to l against their chances of winning the title.
 Mickey Cochrane, Tiger boss, was openly jubilant over the turn Of events. He should be. If ever a major manager came into a possi- bly deciding game all but dead cer- tain of winning, 1t was Cochrane of Detroit today.
 Frisch Optimistic
 Frankie Frisch, pilot or the Cards, reflected the feeling of all Cardinal adherents, but kept his dobber up.
 Not beat yet" he told sympa- thizers.
 .It's tough spot, but we've had to. win two before and did, and we can do it again."
 Today's game will start at 1880

 far; and saved the ball, game for the Tigers.
 Tt wasn't how far White ran, but how close he came to the wall just before making the catch" says Gosltn. That's when they're tough White was only couple of steps away from the wall, running full speed, when he made the catch and then veered sharplyto his right to avoid a collision ..,. If White had missed the ball the Tigers would have had only a one-run lead, and the Cardinals would have had a runner on second Or third with two down. N ! "Schoolboy" Rowe, picked to pitch today's game for the Tigers, drank bottle of beer and read the funny papers before retiring at 9:30 o'clock last night .s. <. Rowe isn't worried about the outcome of the sixth game, but he is fretting an dfusing about his batting av- craze. :. I'm sho' gonna get, me some base knocks off those Cardi- nals," says Rowe. "I may hit one all the way to Eldarado cause they got he mad. Struck out four times. Shucks, I'm really gonna lay into ,em."
 Here's Schoolboy Rowe's private opinion of Dizzy Dean without ben eft of ghast writer: He's not the pitcher thought he was. I guess he's overworker". .Schoolboy says he is going to turn down all offers to appear on the stage during the winter, and adds, ''I'm a baseball player and I guess I'll stick to my trade."
