Perhaps the statement of Prink

here while en- route to Eugene

Rx GARRETT WATERS

Another of those swell inter-high
school grid series upsets almost
unfolded itself yesterday at the
Eastern Stadium.
Eastern and Roosevelt were
the opposing teams. The former
went into the fray heavily IA
Vored to win because Of a fine
winning record in outside games,
and because Roosevelt had not
looked so good in its debut Of a
week before when it went down
to defeat at the hands OF Tech.

During the first half. the
mountainous Rough Riders-and
they are Just that this year
played Eastern to a Standstill. A
fine defensive game it was and
1t became as annoying to East
ern players and supporters as
anything that has happened to
them this season.
Reverse Form
A reversal of form entered the
picture after the intermission.
The Rough Riders let down quite
q bit and Eastern was able to
put across three touchdoWns Tor
Q moSt-fought-for 19-to-0 triumph.
Poor punting enabled the Lin

The first of these errors came
not far after the third quarter
started. Dick Grant attempted
to punt and got off one Tor

Eastern took the ball on RooSe-
velt's % and scored a few mo
ments later when Captain Hawk
Shaw heaved 20 yards to Bob
Brand. The latter dashed 10
yards for a marker.
Bob Brand blocked an at
tempted punt by Francis Beamer
on the 10-yard line to give East
ern its next break for a score.
Len CaposSella, chunky center,
pounced on the ball This was on

play, Roy Michaels. a sub back.
skampered IL yards. This put 1t
UP to Hawk Shaw, who came
through with a plunge at tackle
for the touchdown.
There was no more bad punt
ing for the remainder of the
game. But Eastern scored once
more by intercepting a pass.
Caposella jumped into the spot
light again here by grabbing
f1eave from Beamer intended for
KoliuS.
KidweN Runs 2S
It was on the 32.yard line. AL
Kidwell tore off % yards and
Shaw added four more from the
4-yard line for the marker.
The Rough Riders finished the
day by making a splendid bid for
q touchdown in the closing min
uteS. A trick play was offered
from a spread formation. Fleisch-
man lateraled to Beamer, who
passed the entire width of the
field to Kolius, who was standing
idly by. Kolius ran 40 yards be-
fore being brought down in mid
field. 1t was a nice play which
the Riders should use more often,
particularly in the early moments
of the game. Or are We second
guessing again?

HITCH CALLED
TO STAND AS
DEFENSE OPENS
Former Deputy Identifies
Various Checks Made
for Executions.

Ralph L. Hitch, former chief dep
uty sheriff charged with embezzle-
ment, took the stand in his own
behalf today as the defense started
presentation of its case.
The short time Mr.. Hitch was on
the stand in the morning session in
Marion Criminal Court was de-
voted to Identification of various
checks as those by which payment
had been made for executions intro
duced as states exhibits.
The defense lost a point when Mr..
Hitch's counsel unsucCeSsfully moved
to strike from the record the State
Accounts Board audit on the grounds
that it is not a public record, al
though introduced as such by the
prosecution.
William P. Cosgrove, chief ex-
aminer of the accounts board, was
the first defense witness. He was
called merely to testify that had
assigned field examiners, not to an
examination of Mr.. Hitch's accounts
exclusively, but to the sheriff's Of
flee as whole.
The trial was recessed yesterday
afternoon after a heated argument
between defense attorneys and
Deputy Prosecutor James E. Watson
over an alleged refusal of Mr.. Wat
son to allow Mr.. Hitch to examine
the cash book before opening Of
court yesterday.
Mr.. Watson explained that he and
the State Accounts Board examiners
were checking over items in the
book when Mr.. Hitch and George
Sheehan, a defense attorney, made
the request.
Special Judge McFerren granted
adjournment in order to give the
defense time to make a thorough
examination of the cash book.
Harry BoggS, a private account
ant, testified yesterday that Mr..
Hitch told him that the sheriff's ac-
count was short because he had
cashed execution checks and had
loaned money to some fellows"
Miss Eleanor Hussey, sheriff's
chief clerk, was recalled to the stand
to make further explanation Of
transactions in the sheriff's office.

EARNINGS CAIN
SEEN IN STUDY
Industrial Net in Quarter to
Rise 40 Per Cent Over
Year Ago.
By Times Special

By Times Special
NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-With in
dustrial production for the current
quarter estimated at level some 16
per cent higher than year ago, the
leverage factor that normally results
in wider fluctuations of profits will
operate to produce an increase of
some 40 per cent in industrial earn
ings, the Standard Statistics Co.
estimated today.
'The aggregate will be moderately
smaller than for the second quarter
of this year, in reflection of seasonal
trends" the company said, but
comparisons with a year earlier will
be the best since the second quarter
of 1884
Railroads will make the most
favorable showing for any quarter
in the last two years, at least, al
though the low level of July traffic
will hold the total down. Utility re-
suits are expected to be above a year
earlier for the first time since early
1881.
Among the principal industrial
groups, the steel trade will make an
exceptionally favorable comparison
with last year, whereas earnings of
these companies dropped so per cent
in the second quarter. Automobile
and auto parts companies will also
make better showing than a year
ago, although the increases in many
cases may be less pronounced than
in the second quarter. Building ma
terial and supply producers will re-
port wide percentage gains.
Chemical earnings will be gen.
orally up. Food products results will
be mixed, depending upon profit
margins in various divisions of the
industry. Machinery and metals
corporations are expected to report
relatively wide gains, and the mis-
cellaneous group should likewise in
clude substantial increases. Oil COM
pany earnings will probably be fair
ly close to last years levels"
