 Typhoid Breaks Out
 A tragic situation was reported al San Sebastian, the gay coastal re- sort which is the key to the San Sebastian-Irun corner of Spain on the French frontier. Word was res ceived that typhoid had broken out because the beseiging rebels had cut the city water supply. Ordinary sanitary service was impossible and the only drinking water came from cisterns. Loyalists in motor cars came to the French frontier to beg serums to combat spreading dis ease. A squadron of rebel airplane' roared over San Sebastian and bombed 1t.

 Hendayc, French-Spanish from tier, Aug. l8.--(UP)-The Spanish rebel warsh!p Espana bombarded Irun and San Sebastian today, kill- ing many in San Sebastian. It was the second day of smelling of the north coast cities. San Sebastian also was bombed from the air today. Shells from the Espana destroyed many dwellings. One hit the mater nity hospital and damaged 1t, but tkere were no casualties there. The city was in dire straits and typhoid broke out because hte water supply has been cut by the rebels.

chieftains attached Great import ance to Q secreta plan of political action by which they hope to split the divergent elements comprising the popular front of the government at Madrid. Political agents of the rebel government here, 1t was learned, have been entrusted with the work of undermining the au- thority of the government. It was indicated that the rebels had some hope that - with assistance from them -- the popular front might cole lapse in q chaos of rioting at Madrid. This would leave the way open for the rebels to enter the city as SaV- tours, without the necessity for a siege to searve the populace or for airplane bambordments hardly cal- culated to endear the conquerors to the people,
 Increased Confidence
 The increasing confidence of rebel leaders that victory is near was re-. fiected in their confirmation ot whitebearded Gen. Cabanellas as their choice for president. In con- firming him, the rebels reconStiuted their revolutionary committee oi eight men, with Cabanellas ct their head. Gen. Franco, during his week end visit, for the first time formally accepted membership. More im- portant is the fact that the rebels leaders have agreed on Cabanellat as their president now that they be- lieve victory near. He has been the provisional choice.

corner" with accuracy saves wear and
tear on the line. and prevents long
runs by fast, shifty safety men. Kick
ing from behind the goal line be-
comes an art only when practiced
enough in actual scrimmage so that
the kicker retains the presence Of
mind to place the ball out Of bounds
away from the safety man. In mid
field, high kick which gives the ends
time to cover the safety man, is more
desirable than the low projectile.
Speaking Of the ends, it is the be-
lief Of many that this is the most
difficult position on the team to play
well. Many times during a game an
end is confronted with three or four
blockers leading a shifty ball carrier,
and it is his duty to turn the play in
toward the center Of the field. His
best method is to dump the interfer-
ence by throwing himself at their
knees, but at other times, he must
play them of one by one in an effort
to force the runner back or to the
sidelines.
With successful manipulation of the
interferers, he can often make the
tackle himself At other times, usually
on the weak side of play, he must
crash in directly behind the offensive
line of scrimmage in an effort to catch
the play from behind, still protecting
against reverse play. On the strong
side plays, crashing end destroys
the off-tackle offense.

recent triumph, had one Of those days
that come occasionally to every ath-
lete. when it seems impossible to do
ANYTHING wrong. He ran that team
with a dash and confidence that were
contagious, and gave an indivldual
ball-carrying performance that was
little short of brilliant.
In the second quarter, he broke
loose near midfleld and dashed for
touchdown, kicking the goal for the
extra point. Later he hade two other
sparkling runs. and it was only
through Central's superior weight and
her great supply of reserves that the
home team was able to squeeze out
1913 tie. Even SO, Hartley consid-
cred it a moral victory. and all the
members of the team were in high
spirits after the game.
JEFFERSON was only an hours ride
from Hartley, and most of the
players had come in private cars.
Larry had ridden over with two other
PLAYERS in Bill Winters automobile,
but while he was dressing, Johnny
Ashton, who lived almost next door
to Larry, came into the dressing room
and invited him to go back in his car.
With his sister, Evelyn. and another
girl, he had driven over to see the
game.
We're going to eat dinner here and
go to a show, but Well get you back
in plenty Of time" Johnny promised.
Larry hesitated for a moment. Since
1t was Saturday night, he felt sure the
coach would have no objection, as long
as he was In bed by II o'clock. And,
in the jubilant mood that the after
Moons events had inspired, the pros
pect of going to a show in the COM
pany of Johnny's good looking sister
appealed to him strongly.
"Okay, Johnny" he said. "1'll tell
Bill Winters I'm not going back with
him. and meet you as soon as get
dressed"
The dinner at a restaurant in JET
ferson was a merry meal and Larry
enjoyed himself thoroughly. But the
show which the girls wished to see did
not start until $780, and was not over
until almost IL. Larry got a shock as
he looked at his watch. walking out of
the theater. And he got more of a
shock when. outside. he discovered
that it had turned suddenly colder and
that drizzly rain, mixed with sleet,
was falling.
"Boy!" he exclaimed. as they hur-
ried to get their car from a parking
lot. I'm certainly breaking training
rules tonight. It will take us two hours
to drive home in this weather. Well, it
can't be helped"
LIE TRIED to keep his mind of the
late hour as Johnny piloted the
car slowly back to Hartley. But the
sleet grew worse, making it hard to see

the highway with slippery coat. 1t

started the car down the long hill
that led to the business district of
Hartley.
Halfway down the hill Larry, sit

KAY'S CORNER
By Katherine HOuisOn.

THIS time I'm going to give you
- few suggestions for a Halloween
party, because I'm sure some of you
will be giving one.
No party would be complete with
out one apple game, and here's one
that "outlaughs" them all. Have your
guests choose partners by matching
black cats cut apart in irregular
shapes. On a line strung across the
room tie enough apples to give each
couple one. Have the partners face
each other, the apple between them.
The trick is to see which couple can
eat their apple first. AS each bite is
taken without touching the apple
with the hands, the contestant must
step back and eat it. The contortions
and faces as the apples bob around
are ludicrous A small prize can be
given the winners.
Another clever stunt it to put about
Q dozen articles into thin white paper
sacks, choosing things that have dis
tinctive outlines. Tie them to q wire
hoop fastened around lamp or light
fixture and let the guests make
written list of what the bags contain
from the shadows. You'll have to
turn out the other lights, which will
give an added Halloween "spooki-
