NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-John
(Wrong Down Getchell of Mime
apolis wins the doubtful honor Of
contributing sports outstanding
oddity during 1888.
Getchell'S slip of the tongue-he
said third down when he should
have said fourth-not only aided
Notre Dame to whip Carnegie Tech,
but also gained recognition as the
years most freakish incident from
the 70 sports editors participating
in the Associated Press eighth an
nual poll.
All told, SO sports editors nomi-
mated the Getchell incident, and
no other sports oddity came even
close.
Might Have Averted Defeat.
The Minneapolis referee made his
famous decision on October %. Car
negie Tech and Notre Dame were
locked in a scoreless draw in the
fourth quarter Carnegie had pos
session of the ball near midfield
when Paul Friedlander, Carnegie
quarterback, asked Getchell what
down it was. Getchell said third"
and Friedlander called for run
ming play which failed to make
first down. Getchell then declared
it had been fourth down, and the
ball went over on Carnegie Techs
46-yard line. Notre Dame scored
the only touchdown of the game
three plays later. Had Friedlander
played it as fourth down, undoubt-
edly he would have kicked. and Car
negie's only defeat of the season
might have been avoided.
John Wander Meer's two success
sive no-hit, no-run games ranked
as the No. 2 oddity of the year, fol-
lowed by the % football draw
played by Virginia Military and Vir-
ginia Tech and the collision between
Stanley Hack and Bill Jurges over a
dinky infield roller in the second
game of the World Series, costing the
Cubs two runs. Close behind in the
balloting were Ferebee's series Of

The cells settle more rapidly in
the blood of women than of men,
and very much more rapidly in the
blood of a woman carrying a child
In tuberculosis they also settle more
rapidly, and the more severe the
case the more rapidly they settle,
so in this condition the test has
found it's most uses.

SURPRISE TO
CONFERENCE
Scheduled as Easy Foe,
Machine Proves To
Be Powerful

WAKE FOREST, Nov. Is
Wake Forests Demon Deacons,
boasting a lineup composed large
ly of powerful and rampaging
sophs, have been, without a doubt,
the surprise players of the South
ern Conference this fall.
Scheduled this fall as an easy
foe. the DeaconS have been much
stronger than their opponents eX-
pected They defeated Randolph
Macon ST to s: The Citadel 81 to
O; and South Carolina 20 to 10.
They have been beaten by three of
the top teams in the Southern Con-
ference by one touchdown mar
gins. North Carolina won 14-6;
Duke TO: and Clemson 10. n. G.
State defeated the Deacons 10-7,
but the best V. NJ. Is. undefeated
Cadets, could do was to earn a &c
tie last Saturday.
Three wins, one tie with an un-
defeated conference eleven, and
losses to four top teams in south
ern football circles is a record far
better than anyone conceded the
DeaconS before the season began.
And it is a good record for any
club that is using eight sopho-
mores on its first outfit.

The committee for Industrial

appeal for an end in labor's civil
war from President Roosevelt was
acclaimed wildly at the first C.I.O.
constitutional convention here.

with the American Federation of

in disagreement after Il two-hour
discussion at 10 p. m. and Lewis
was summoned.
Lewis was joined by CLIO.
Counsel Lee Pressman as he hur-
ried into the conference room.
Several resolutions had been in
troduced, demanding that the
CLIO. take Il nemphatic affirma-
tive position in regard to labor

The "peacc making" commit
tees resolution ultimately will go
before the convention. 1t was un-
derstood that the conversations
during two hours reviewed the en-
'tire history of the controversy be
tween the CLIO. and the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor, and con-
fiicting forces within the peace
committee We're not near an
agreement.
President Roosevelt's message
of greeting to the convention
contained an expression of hope
for the restoration of labor unity
and a sharp warning of the effect
of continuous strife Of trade un-

He had made similar plea in

The Philippine commonwealth will
