COuernOr LandOn Attracts
 Attention of Republicans;
 Sen. SteilUer Is Dark Horse
By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, WashingtGnl


 Governor Landon of Kansas. whosS boom for the Republican presidential nomination has been attracting more and more attention, is an object ol great curiosity among eastern busi- ness men. He refuses to go east, SC at least one industrialist of national reputation made a special trip tc Kansas to look him over.
 Whenever Republican dark horses are discussed, the name of Senator Steiwer of Oregon comes up persis tently. SteiWer has refused to be- come even a favorite son candidate which might help him if the Repub- lican convention got into such a tangle that it felt it had to start all over again.
 The expectation in Washington is that Secretary Roper will have a very high place in the Democratic supreme command during the com ing campaign. Roper is an old hand at politics, was internal revenue com missioner under Wilson and served as a McAdoo lieutenant during the me- morable Madison Square Garden struggle in 1924.
 President Roosevelt's willingness to speak in Chicago reflects a feel ing in Democratic quarters that the party organization under Mayor Kel- ley has factional differences there pretty well ironed out. Several Re- publican and Democratic Presidents have avoided that city through fear of involvement in the intra party strife which seems to be an old Chi cago habit.
 Borah Consults McNary
 One of those most frequently con- suited by Senator Borah is Senator McNary Of Oregon, the Republican leader Borah doesn't always take McNary's advice, but he asks for his opinion often, particularly with the presidential situation developing as it is.
 Some of Secretary Hulls friends back home want him to get out of the cabinet and run for the Senate again in Tennessee next year Hull is deeply interested in the reciprocal tariff program, however, and thus far has made no definite move Senateward.
 There is reason why some north western lumber interests have not protested above whisper about the reductions of tariff rates on Cana dian imports. These interests own many acres of timber land in Canada and import large quantities of lum- Der to supplement their home supply Talk of drafting supreme court justice to head the Republican ticket next year has about died out. The feeling is widespread that such a venture may prove boomerang by laying the party open to charge oi dragging the court into politics.
 Word reaching Washington is that the Roosevelt men have moved in rapidly in Louisiana, and now are showing little fear of the remnants

Rise Of Cards Gets Notice.
Notre Dame.Pitt Tilt
Held Toss.Up.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
n YEW YORK, October 15.-Ths
nj weeks intersectional foot ball
" games present some food for
thought for those who like to
pick the winners.
Some Of them look easy, such as
Boston College Michigan State and
Louisiana State-Arkansas. but others,
such as Notre Dame Pitt, Detroit
Catholic University and Fordham-
Vanderbilt, appear to be a toss-up.
Boston College, drubbed 1870 by
Fordham, appears to be no match for
the powerhouse Of Michigan State
which has overwhelmed Grinnell,
Michigan and Kansas State, and the
record of Louisiana State looks far
more impressive than that Of Ar
kansas.
Louisiana State lost to Rice 10-7,
but that was no disgrace. 1t came
back to beat Texas 1876 and flatten
Manhattan $40, delaying the upward
surge of Chick Meehan and his boys.
Arkansas, on the other hand, has
been beaten by both Texas Christian
and Baylor, although only by two
touchdowns to one In each case.
Tough Task for "Irish."
WHETHER Elmer Layden can guide
w this years edition of the Irish
by Pittsburgh. an old and worthy foe.
Is a matter Of grave speculation.
Notre Dame IS undefeated. with
Kansas, Carnegie Tech and Wisconsin
strewn in its wake. but Pittsburgh Is
undefeated. too, with Waynesburg,
Washington and Jefferson and West
Virginia its victims. Notre Dame has
beaten a higher class of opposition
but that doesn't tell next Saturdays
story.
Gus Dorais has a likely looking team
at Detroit, having smothered Central
State Teachers and Haskell and beat
Oklahoma A. and NJ, 1870, but Cath
olic University Is on the way up.
Catholic beat La Sale, Alt, and then
took Duquesne, 60.
Fordham, despite the fact Purdue
walloped it, 300, doesn't figure to be
a set-up for Vanderbilt. The Fordham
team came out Of the Purdue game
with numerous injuries, but it will be
q fighting band that Jim Crowley
will send on to the field. Vanderbilt
has defeated Mississippi State, 14-9,

A L FARRELL, reserve foot ball
~ lineman and heavyweight
~ boxer for the University Of
4 a Maryland, today will answer
charges of professionalism hurled by
a North Carolina player, it was stated
by DR.. L. B. Broughton, faculty chair
man of the Maryland Athletic Board.
Farrell Is one of the two Maryland
athletes whom John Sniscak, banned
Tarheel star, accused Of being ineligi-
BILE even as he (Sniscak) was ruled
last Saturday, following q protest to
North Carolina by the Old Line insti-
tuition. The other Maryland athlete
is Bill Andorka, regular center.
DR.. Broughton declared that An
dorka was clear" Sniscak accused
Andorka Of playing with the West
Liberty Teachers College of West
Virginia, but DR.. Broughton said West
Liberty is, or was, a junior college and
because of this transfer student is
eligible for Southern Conference COM
petition.
Sniscak, who was barred because he
played foot ball at Catholic Univer-
sity, declared that Farrell, in addi-
ton to playing with Fordham, also
has played with a Fredericksburg, Va,
professional team.
Never Played at Fordham.
"EARRELL formerly attended Ford
ham," confirmed DR.. Brough-
ton, "but neither our records nor
those Of Fordham show that he played
foot ball there. As for the charges
Of professionalism, Farrell will be
asked today to answer them"
DR.. Broughton said that he was
confident both of the boys are not
guilty. As far as Andorka is con-
cerned, we plan to do nothing. He
is eligible in all respects. When An
dorka attended West Liberty Teach
ers' College it then was called the
Liberty State Normal and was q
junior college"
Farrell, it was intimated by the
faculty chairman, will be asked to
deny Sniscak's charges Of profession
alism only and, this done, Maryland
will take no other steps.
Sniscak's charges, according to the
banned Tarheel grid star, were not in
tended with any malice, but Ito estab-
lish that my accusers (Maryland)
who forced my inengibility at North
