 When the Blue and Gold men lineup against the Cardinals, Win stead, a capable guard last year, may be found in his role of two years ago at halfback. West, the other guard in 1936, was slated for an end post and Kniskern, who played the entire 1886 schedule at center may lose his berth to Louis O'Neill of Norwich Free Academy pigskin fame.

 LEAVE DAYTON
 EARLY TODAY
WeirtOn, Virginia, Elimin- ate Locals, 5 to 2; DOu-
 ble Plays Hurt
BY JOHN A. CLUNEY

Dayton, Ohio, Sept. 16-Defeated but decidedly not disgraced, the North End Thomas club entry from Waterbury, Conn.,, was to start its homeward journey Friday afternoon, after dropping its second successive game to the better basebell com- bination from Weirton, West Vir- ginia, this afternoon by score of 5 to 2-the group should arrive in Waterbury early Saturday afternon at the end of a ten-day quest for national amateur baseball suprem- acy which included a four straight win record for the team that won the title in its home town for the first time. Losers to Dayton and Weirton within "A hours brought about the downfall of the plucky Waterbury outfit, which had the hop on Dayton in earned '-s to 2 but eight errors decapitated what ever chance the Tom:nies had of briging home the bacon.
 Another tough early inning was responsible for the Waterbury elim- ination when four-run tally in the f1-.G inning proved the finish of Pitcher Irving Segal who was re- placed by Wally Berg, Washington, Conn, veteran who twirled a very creditable game, limiting the slug ging steel workers from the south to six hits while the Weirton out fit put on four double plays that killed as many Thomas club rallies with 8 chance in sight to tie the score. Dayton won its sixth straight game under lights when it defeated the Kramers of Jefferson county, Pa, tonight 2 to 4 to hold its dis- tinction as the only undefeated team of the tournament which has Toledo and Weirton as the only oth- CT remaining entries. Detroit having also been eliminated today by Tole- do II to g. One of the three re- maining teams will draw bye to- morrow with the finals for Sunday.

POWER BACKS SEEM LACKING

Huskers Again to Invade East and Play } Big
 Ten Games
By J. w. MILLER United Press Stan COrrespOndenG

United Press Stan COrrespOndentT
 Lincoln. Neb. (Sept. 1T CU.P.- University of Nebraska football players will compete almost as ac- lively in the Big Ten Conference as in their own Big Six circle this fall.
 Not content with competition from the powerful Pittsburgh Pan- thers and member schools in the Big Six Conference, the Huskers meet Minnesota, Indiana and Iowa of the Western Conference. These games will be at Lincoln.
 That is the setup confronting Ma jor Lawrence Eff" Jones, formerly of West Point, Louisiana State and Oklahoma, who gave up his army career last spring to sign five-year contract as field marshal of the Corn:lusker forces.
 Veteran Backs Missing
 He has no Lloyd Cardwell or Sam Francis able to take over the back field duties in big league style. In fact, only three backs with major letters return this season and ma- jority of the ball carriers lack height and size. A further blow was the in- eligibility of Herman Rohrig, fresh- man groomed to take over Fran ces' fullback post.
 But if the backfield picture is somewhat gloomy, line prospects are the best in several years and Roy Link" Lyman, line coach, who held down a tackle job for many seasons with the Chicago Bears, makes no secret of his optimism.
 Lyman says he has sufficient ma- terials for two capable lines. They will receive their first test of the season in the opening game here with the Minnesota GopherS, Oct. 2.
 Star Center Available
 Charley Brock, sensation as g sophomore center last year and voted by Pittsburgh and Minnesota players the best center they met all season, and Johnny Howell, senior quarterback, are the key men among the IA major letter winners and 10 minor letter men who are back this year.
 Major letter men include two centers, three tackles, three ends, three guards and three backs.
 Sophomore prospects appear av- craze.

SKELETON NOT THAT
OF A SEA SERPENT

According to a news dispatch from
Richmond the skeleton of what was
at first believed to have been some
sea monster found November goth in
Kings Creek, is probably nothing
more than the remains of bottle
nose porpoise. The statement is cred
tied to DR.. Remington Kellogg, of the
Smithsonian Institute, Washington.
The eight foot long skeleton was
raked up by Mr.. S. F. Smith, on oys-
ter ground belonging to Mr.. George
F. Parramore. They were taken to
the Parramore farm and Mr.. PARA
more communicated with the Smith
sonian Institute with the results given
above.
The bottle nose porpoise is common
off the Virginia coast and many are
caught for the extraction from their
jaw bones of a costly oil used for the
fabrication of delicate machinery such
as precision watches.

She knew that the hardness went out

Mr.. Nortz padded down to the

of it's silk dressing grown, spread out
pigskin toilet case containing his
razors and turned on a shower.
Presently he was silent, lathering
his face and letting the water beat I'M

The door banged and Elmer Kirk
came in. He whistled with a surpris-
ing inaccuracy, but with Gght-heart-
edness so convincing it caused Mr..
Nortz's cheeks to sag under the lather.
Elmer Kirk had apparently been swim
ming. He stripped off his bathing
suit, still whistling. Going up to

Mrs. Micks asked me-" He stepped
into another shower, taking up his
nerve-jarring whistling again. The
crash of water mercifully muffled.
This was how a condemned man
must feel. Knowing what was going
to happen, knowing nothing could stop
it. Nortz's hand shook slightly, nick
ing his chin, and he swore. Maybe

full temptation of knowing he would
then have nothing to do but get dress
ed and go up to Micks' almost over
whellned him. Nervously he took up
a package wrapped in tissue paper,
standing in irresolute agony.
Then, almost furtively, he laid it
down. Going to his closet, he produc-

cut some; looked at that, and poured
outa little more. Closing his eyes,
he tilted back his head and swallowed
it. "Ugggh!" he shuddered, took up

asked Mr.. Britton.
"Why, yes" stammered Mr.. Nortz,
The agony of explanations was on

tirely wretched.

He felt awful, going like a fugitive
through the dark patio toward the

hear the cheerful confused sound at
tending the consumption of cocktails
The patio seemed crowded.
