been started on new ONCE building
at Diablo Heights to house the en-
gineering and clerical forces Of the
Special Engineering Division. This
structure, to be completed by Sep
tember, will cost $150,000. The new
buildings, almost without exception,
are to be of temporary wood con-
struction.
New Bridge Across Lock.
In addition to these Government
housing programs, private construc-
tors given canal contracts will put
up quarters for their own employees.
suiting themselves as to types of
houses.
One of the most interesting phases
of the new canal programs from the
standpoint of the tourist and lay
man, during the new fiscal year just
beginning, will be a new railroad
and highway bridge across Mira
flores Lock to connect the new
Atlantic locks east of the present
canal and the new Pacific lock west.
The bridge, including a long steel
approach trestle from the east and
shorter one from the west, is ex-
pected to cost $1,275,OO0. The bridge
will have a swinging draw across
the locks. The railroad across the
new bridge will leave the present
main line at Fort Clayton and, after
crossing the canal, will branch in
two directions to the proposed town
of Cocoli and to the new Pedro
Miguel Lock site. The highway
across the bridge will lead from
the present road to Miraflores and
will join with new system of work
roads.
Will Relocate Railroad.
Digging of new canal channels
connecting the new locks with the
existing canal will necessitate the
relocation of a part of the Panama
Railroad, built and operated by the
Government between Cristobal and
Panama City, with spurs and extern
sions to various military centers
throughout the Canal Zone. Final
surveys for relocating the main line
between Quebraucha and Mount
Hope now are in progress. The
necessary grading and relocation of
the railroad will be done by road
forces of the Panama Railroad.
Although there was a saying that
the laying of the original Panama
Railroad cost "a life for every tie
the new project, because of i'm
proved health conditions brought
about by the Army, is expected to
be no more costly in this respect
than any other railroad job. Incl.
dentally. it is easy to see when one
crosses from the Canal Zone into
the Republic of Panama. The houses
in the Zone are all screened, across
the border they are not.
Although the tropical summer has
come, with the royal poincianas,
magnolias and countless other flow
ers to gladden. the eye and perfume
the languorous air, the age-old
custom of the siesta to slow down
activity, and the whisper of the
breeze through the palms to lull the
'drowsy, these things now are of no
avail. The Canal Zone is humming
with life and activity. The need for
security in a troubled, uncertain
world has become paramount and
the well-worn habits of an easy
going tropical population are in
allegiance. The Army and its engi-
neers here have no patience with
the Latin "manana";; their motto
has become: do it today" A mad
people, these Yankees A siesta?
Well, now-ho-hum Why not?

Perfect Records of Detroit
and Rutgers Likely to
Be MARRIED
By LESLIE AVERY

~ A4-<0A@AAN n A1AsA
United Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Oct. 25.-OP)-Fif-
teen of the % major undefeated,
united football teams in the United
States are favored to maintain
their perfect records this weekend,
while one is sure to drop from the
ranks, two others seem likely to fall
ter and four have about a $3.50
chance of surviving.
The No. / game of nation, Michi-
gan VS.. Pennsylvania at Ann Arbor,
sends two perfect record elevens into
battle and one is bound to drop out,
unless the outcome is tie, and
both lose their positions in the Sc
lect circle.
The two who seem most likely to
falter are Detroit University and
Rutgers. Detroit tackles a tough
Villanova eleven, and Rutgers goes
against Princeton in the 36th game
of the oldest football rivalry IN
America. They gave birth to the
game in 1869 and Rutgers has little
chance to annex its third win in
the long series.
Cornell, currently rated the No.
1 team in the nation and the casts
hope for national honors, Pennsyl-
vania State, Lafayette and Stanford
are the quartet given no better than
an even chance. Actually Cornell
is slightly favored over Ohio State,
but the Buckeyes have taken two
straight ickingS and a lot of foot
ball men feel that completes their
share for the year. The pickers
are divided and most of them rate
the game toSs-up.
Penn State, with wins over Buck
nell, West Virginia and Lehigh, gets
its first major test against Temple;
Lafayette may surprise and beat the
Army, which has shown virtually
nothing this year in beating Will
liams only by on point, but the
Cadets are conceded an even
chance; Stanford, only perfect rec
ord eleven left on the Pacific coast,
has to crack Southern California
and no one has done that yet, al
though the Trojans have been held
to a pair of ties.
The clubs still sporting unblem-
ished records and favored to main
tain them are Fordhama over St.
Mary's; Boston College over St.
Anselm'S; Columbia over Syracuse;
Navy over Yale; Franklin and Mar
shall over Gettysburg; Georgetown
over NYU; Notre Dame over Illi-
nois; Northwestern over Indiana |;
Minnesota over Iowa; Tennessee
over Florida; Mississippi over Ar
kansas; Texas Aggies over Baylor;
and Texas over Rice

Stanford Gets Call In Titanic
Struggle With Southern Cal

fastening a deadlock on the fig
ures, and tossing them for fall,
is sticking with Michigan and
Cornell.
He has an idea that the Wolver-
ines will outsteady the Quakers,
whose pass defense was none too
tight in the Princeton party.
At the outset it was said that
only Ohio State could beat Ohio
State. The Buckeyes have twice
succeeded in doing that. They fig
ure to bounce back, but hardly far
enough to repel the well-drilled
Big Red, which this trip isn't
likely to spot them two touch
downs right under the gun as it
did in Columbus year ago.
Michigan and Pennsylvania offer
an added attraction in the duel be-
tween Tom Harmon and Frank
Reagan, who last autumn out
gained the Wolverine flyer taking
everything into account yards
from scrimmage, yards gained on
passes thrown by the two and punt
and kickoff returns.
In other intersectional numbers,
Santa Clara should shade Michigan
State at East Lansing, and Fordham
has the stuff with which to romp
against Saint Mary's Of California
in New York.

ALL NOTRE DAME NEEDS is

Notre Dame used Ct players
against Carnegie Tech, and can

too bad that such highly geared

Auburn in a dog fight in Atlanta,
Kentucky over Georgia at Ath-
ems, Louisiana State over Wander
bilt at Baton Rouge, Alabama over
Mississippi State at Tuscaloosa,
and Duke over Wake Forest on the,
latter's grounds.
Tulane, which got going against
Rice after three setbacks, may
stay on the right road in its match
with North Carolina at Chapel
Hill. It's Arkansas turn to be
run down by Mississippi's touch

Junie Hovious.
