THIS LAND OF PLENTY

THIS LAND Or fLLNl
The Kent News of Chester
town, Md, points out how
grand this part of the country
is as compared with parts of
the West. 1t notes the reports
from Nebraska, stunted corn,
the worst drought since pion-
eers first broke its prairie sod.
Crops have been terribly dam
aged and thousands of cattle
are being eliminated from the
herds. 1t is indeed a sad story
that arouses sympathy. Then
the Kent News recalls the
large bonus received by the
farmers of Kent county, Md.
The tomato crop has been fair
and prices have been going
upward. The corn crop looks
in fine fashion with the price
ranging from sixty to sixty
five cents a bushel. Old corn
is selling from eighty cents.
Thousands Of young turkeys
are being raised. Broiling
chickens are bringing good re-
turns. Vegetables are abund-
ant and there is fruit enough
for local needs. There is an
enormous dairy industry and
there are fish, crabs and oys-
ters right at your door.
Not only material things
bless this section, but there is
the spiritual with churches,
schools and a fine college.
The Chestertown, Md, News
sums it up by saying that no
people should be happier than
Kent countians. 1t is indeed
a fine picture Of local life in
one Of the outstanding dis
tricts of the peninsula. This
laudation, we think, with
some notifications here and
there, could apply to the en-
tire peninsula. This is indeed
the peninsula of plenty. At
fractions summed up for Kent
county should be exploited
throughout the nation far
more than they have been.
Organizations have b e e n
started to do this thing but
somehow they would slacken
and sometimes slumber.
One sure thing is that the
advantages of the peninsula
impress those who travel up
and down. The summing up
of things in Kent as compar-
ed with the frightful situation
in Nebraska should be made
widely known. And one thing
about Nebraska was not men
tioned-the terrible heat that
has afflicted that State, ac-

IMANDERS KICKING
 AFTER TOUCHDOWN FEATURE OF LOOP
Chicago Bears Specialist Missed But One Try in
 Opportunities
Especial to The Democratl

New York, Nov 6-Kicking the extra point after touchdown is practically automatic to the Chi cago Bears, world champions of 1888, and New York Giants. East ern titleholders. The Bears missed only one extra point in 24 trials in their first seven National Football League games. The Giants made nine out of ten in the same period for an equally impressed record.
 Jack Manders is the main reason for the Bears proficiency in get ting the extra point. The former Minnesota star is 1898 kicked fif- ten straight, and clicked off IT more in succession before he miss ed one against Cincinnati. He has picked up from tht point and his seasons record for seven games is 20 inr 21.
 In the entire league the average is over 60 per cent successful with 59 in 96 completed, and eight of the ten clubs are over 70 per cent successful in 34 games, the mid- way point of the schedule.
 Advantage
 Placing of the goal posts on the goal line has also promoted more field goal kicking with. 27 kicked in half the season. In 1882 when the posts were ten yards back as in college games, there were only IT kicked in the entire season.
 All distance records are being shattered with Glenn Presnell booting one 54 yards against Green Bay for Detroit for the re- cord boot of the season. Niccolai of Pittsburg kicked one fifty yards against Brooklyn and Ken Strong of New York lifted a 45-yarder against Pittsburg.
 The Chicago Bears need only 35 points more to surpass the record total of PA points set last year by the New York Giants. The cham pions have scored 209 points and also have firm hold on the lead in yardage gained with 2754 yards piled up in eight games.
 The Green Bay Packers lead in forward passing proficiency is challenged by the New York Giants. The Packers with 43 com pleted in 106 attempts for a 40 per cent average still have 8 slight lead. New York, which meets the Packers Sunday, has completed 36 in 97 for 37 per cent average.

Tennessee toppIed Duke Univer- sity from the unbeaten class with this pass in their hard-fought game at Knoxville. The Volunteers pre- vailed, 14-6.
 The perfectly executed meneuver resulted in the first of two touch- White in the third period, tied the score, and transformed Maj Robert Reese Neyland's team from a me- diocre club to strong one for the afternoon at least.
 The ball went straight back to Phil Dickens. The halfback took two steps to the rear and to the right. :.
 Toby Palmer. wingback, went barely across the line of scrin1- mage, drifted out to the right, and yelled for the ball. Lippe, Krause. and the left guard, who pulled out of the line, protected the passer.
 Dickens faked a pass to Palmer.
 While Palmer turned sharply to his left and cut down the field, both Tennessee ends did likewise, ap- parently expecting the pass. The right end generally was suspected as the receiver.
 But as Dickens looked straight ahead after faking a pass to Pal mer, he rified the pigskin just in behind the defensive left half, where Palmer was by that time. The play caught Jack (The Scoot- er) Alexander of Duke f1atfooted.
 Palmer took an 18-yard toss and ran 30 yards for the touchdown.

New York, Nov 6-(UP)-Char- ley Bachman's powerful Michigan State eleven rams into hesstrong- est Syracuse university football team turned out during Vic Han- sons five-year regime at Syra- cuse Saturday.
 Messrs Warmbein, Wagner and Co from East Lansing will take the field favored at least to 5 to shatter the perfect Syracuse record, although each outfit has clacked off the same number of victories this season-fice straight.
 Bachman's Huskies will be fav- ored because their vistims ap- peared the more robust: Grinnell, Michigan, Carnegie Tech, Manhat- tan and Marquette. Syracuse bowled over Clarkson, Cornell, Ohio Wesleyan, Brown and Penn State.
 Regardless of the figures quoted. this fifth meeting between the two schools-with the standing deadlocked at two victories each should develop itno a smashing, close fight.

GRID GAME MAY TAKE ON MANY
 CAGE FEATURES
Dazzling Features of Bas- ketball May Be Seen in
 Football Games

Columbus, o. (UP)-The foot ball of the future will incorporate many of basketball's dazzling fea- lures, in the opinion of L. w. St John, Ohio State University ath- letic director mad chairman of thc National Intercollegiate Basket ball Rules committee.
 Saint" believes football gradu- ally will profit by the same delft ball-handling maneuvers that have made basketball such a popular sport.
 "The possibilities in lateral pass development in football haven't been scratched yet" he said.
 One of St Johns ideas for de- velopment of lateral passing would be to use trailer" as in basket ball. The ball carrier, approaching the point where his progress ordi- narily would be stopped, would have the alternative of passing laterally to his trailer"
 Many teams already use the trailer" idea, but St John feels they have not taken full advan- tage of this potential play.
 Basketball tactics would make the same more difficult. For in- stance, a blocker might have to make two or three blocks instead of only one. It would place a heavier burden on the defense"

TODANS SPORTAPARADE. . kAaE$Rh4aIAD
By STUART CAMERON United Press Sports Editorl

New York, Nov 6-(UP)-The southwest wishes to be heard from in the current gridiron campaign and Andy Anderson of Houston's $ Press does the broadcasting.
 He points out, among other things, that what Rice university has got but needs is a publicity man to tell the world of that schools excellence in football. His modesty is obvious in his com- munique, which follows in part:
 "I'm afraid you guys up in New York forget us birds; in the sticks. Wonder if it ever occurred to you that southwest teams have played merry hell with the midwest and eastern teams? I refer to Rice's victory over Purdue, Texas win over Notre Dame and s. M. U. SIS defeat of Fordham.
 "Rice has a great team. At this writing it looks like cinch to win the southwest conference cham pionship. We have a couple of guys on the team that sure deserve a little of that All-America men, tion.
 Now, how about asking Ford ham, Holy Cross, Columbia Pitt, Carnegie Tech, Harvard, Yale, Princeton or any other team up there for a game next year?
 "We will play our second string against any of them!
 "The reason I am writing this about Rice is because this little old school is still in swaddling clothes as far as athletics are concerned. But we have a freshman team com- ing up that is WOW. We lost only two men and have our now famous Gin the south anyway touchdown twins, Wallace and McCauley, back. Tn other words, modesty pro- hibits telling you that we have an outstanding team for next year.
 Rice is a peculiar school in two respects. First, we do not have a publiciay department. There isn't licity director or even a press agent connected with the school. Second, Rice has the highest scholastic standards in the south.
 For instance, right after spring football practice they dropped d bombshell by expelling six of the starriest stars for doing a bit of cribbing on exams. It's so tough that you can't even look over 6 guys shoulder to see what time it Is.
 'And getting back to All-Amer- lea mention, those two backs, Wal lace and McCauley, certainly de- serve some of 1t, as long as 1t is passed out.
 Personally, I don't thing All America mention makes you score any moretouchdowns, nor do think it is worth anything at all because every one picks All-Amer- ica teams. The man who delivers milk to my house has one picked and I know an auto mechanic who is screwy about all-anything teams.
 "still don't forget Wallace and McCauley."
 So with those well chosen words Anderson gfoids up his typewriter and steals away.
 And now you've heard about Rice.

 New Jobs
 Sullivan and Pomponio have ben pulled out of the line for back field duty in Wilby drills this week. and give promise of being part of a quartet that Lee has been look ing for all season. BunsOn and De Senna are working on the wings just now and doing all right for themselves. The starting lineup against Litchfield is hardly known at this time, even by the coach, who is experimenting considerably with the idea of eliminating fum- bles as much as possible.
 Athletic Aid
 Tomorrow night, the Wilby Athletic Association will sponsor a dance in the school gymnasium in an effort to raise funds for the promulgation of the Wilby sport program for the remainder of the season. Jack Fitzgerald's orchestra will play for dancing and If the af- fair is well attended as it should be with such fine music, regular dances will be scheduled for the same purpose throughout the win ter season, after the home basket ball games.
 In the meantime, Wilby athletic authorities are hoping for good weather, good crowd (that enters through the gate) and a good game for two god teams will be in action.
