Twenty-six college football teams,
unbeaten and united at the halfway
mark Of the 1910 season, today were
the marks for glory-hungry snipers
at every turn along a heavy sched-
ule.
There are 10 eastern, five south
ern, five mid-western, four south
western and two Pacific coast teams
with unbeaten and united records.
Not one has more than an even
chance of coming through its Sec
ond-half program rlnscatched.
Cornell, Pennsylvania, Fordham
and Boston College top the eastern
contingent. Cornell has yet to play
Ohio State and Columbia and winds
up the season with Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania meets Michigan this
Saturday.
Fordham has two tough nuts to
crack in North Carolina and Purdue.
Boston College has Georgetown to
worry about.
Trouble Ahead
There is similar hurly-burly
among the five unbeaten and UNI
tied candidates for mid-western
honors. Notre Dame, well-fortified
at every position, tops the quintet
in their bid for a clean slate. The
Notre Dame steamroller faces Illi-
nois, Army, Navy, Iowa, Northwest
ern and Southern California.
The Michigan revival squad, which
has come successfully through four
games, meets four -tartars on sue
cessive Saturdays-Penn, Minnesota,
Northwestern and Ohio State. All
but the latter are unbeaten and I'M
tied.
Detroit, last of the unbeaten west
erners, faces the easiest job, meeting
only Villanova. Tulsa, Gonzaga and
Marquette.
In the southwestern scramble,
Texas A. & M.-and Texas top the
fourteen unbeaten teams with per-
feet records. S. M. U. and Texas
Tech are unbeaten but tied. Among
its five remaining opponents the
Aggies have to hurdle S. M. u, Rice
and Texas. Texas also plays Rice
and S. M. U.
Only two teams Stanford and
Southern California-have survived
on the Pacific coast. One may fall
this Saturday when they play each
other. However, Stanford has to
meet U. G. L. A., Washington, Ore
gon State and California. Southern
California finishes up against Cali
fornia, Washington, q. G. L. A. and
Notre Dame.

Nearing the West Eighteenth street
pier the sounds died away. The tug
boat captain on the bridge began
signaling to the straining tugs with
sharp blasts on whistle. The liner
began to turn to nose into dock
Leaning on rail, a Western Senator
turned to a man he knew lived in
New York.
Tell me-" he said chow is New
York guarded from invasion?"
The New Yorker shrugged
At that moment newspaperman
with keen eye came up from a
lower deck
A Spurious Note.
Say. didn't some one say the
America was Americana"
Sure. That's right. Everything
on it originated in America"
The newspaperman chuckled.
I'm that case they've got to make
one replacement He pointed to a
large cast-iron siren attached to one
of the two forward masts. "If you
get close to one of those you'll see
that on it, in stamped letters, are
the words Made in Germany"
BY now the ship was close to the
dock and you could see Mayor La
Guardia and his Welcoming Com
mittee waiting beside the poised
gangplank Behind him a band
struck up God Bless America" The
band on the boat joined in Crowds
on the dock waved flags emblazoned
with welcome, S. S. America"
There was shouting as people spied
people they knew. The bands played
louder. Ropes were thrown from
the deck to workers on the dock.
Stewards carrying baggage hurried
by on the promenade deck. In a lit
tie while the America was jockeyed
into position and the gangplank put
in place. Mayor La 'Guardia well
coined Capt. Stedman on behalf of
the City of New York. The ship
commander, decorated in the past
for bravery in ship rescues by Great
Britain and Italy as we'll as the
United States, could never have
looked prouder.
On the dock, Representative was
shaking hands with a friend.
Just think" he was saying, mot
woman within hundred miles for
almost two days"
He was wrong in that. There was
one woman aboard the America the
whole time. She was Irene Caldwell,
Al, ship nurse, who has been sailing
the sea for 20 years. She was kept
scrupulously below decks, however,
during the entire voyage The only
ones who got to see her we're the
handful who needed some slight
medical attention. Maybe the Rep
resentative was right, nevertheless,
in something he went on to say:
There's only one thing I missed
on the America" he said. "It was
the fragrance of beautiful woman s
perfume"
According to best advices from the
United States Lines, that defect will
be fully remedied when the America
sails for the Caribbean next Satur-
day.

West Coast Youth, Cycling
Across Nation, Visits Police
Makes Practice
Of Making Coll in
Every City Visited

Ed Neher, Is. of Ellensburg, Wash,
pedaled his bicycle to police head
quarters last night to visit the blue
coats, as has been his custom to
date on a coast-to-coast-a
again trip.
Ed, sophomore at Central WASH
ington College of Education, had
travelled from Elkton, Md, to the
Capital yesterday, reaching the
Maryland town after Jump from
the New York Worlds Fair.
He pedaled the 3,3S0-mile dis
tance from his home to New York
City in 80 days. making a four day
stopover in Chicago. Ten days were
taken up in seeing the sights at the
fair.
While posing for photographs last
night, Ed explained he always makes
it point to visit the police head
quarters of each city in which he
plans to spend a night. He said he
had found it advisable to leave his
precious bicycle in the custody of
law enforcement officials. rather
than risk its being stolen in lodging
houses or cheap hotels.
The bicycle, which has given faith
full service, was presented to the
young traveller by town officials and
civic leaders of Ellensburg after they
had seen the less serviceable bike on
which he had planned originally to
make the trip. No tire punctures or
blowouts have marred the jaunt so
far.
Although Eds means of transpor-
tation bears a placard giving the
name of his home town and calling
attention to the official sponsorship.
the college student said boosting
Ellensburg was only incidental and
that his principal purpose is to see
as much of the Nation as possible.
He plans to spend several days
here and then head for the Golden
Gate Exposition in San Francisco
before returning to his home.
