Quarterback frankie Al
Z bert Acclaimed Kingpin
Of Indians; Thinks And
Plays Spectacularly
By SAM JACKSON
AP Feature Service Writer

PALO ALTO. Calf, Nov. %
Clark Shaughnessy is coaching
the Stanford Indians through a
brilliant season, but the man who
does their thinking on the field
as well as their most spectacular
playing is Quarterback frankie
? Albert.
Because of his deadly passing,
Albert is being mentioned in
the same breath with the great
Sammy Baunh. And his admir-
ers believe that if he doesn't rate
America at the end of this
triumphant Stanford year, next
, Season-he has another year of
competition-he is sure to make
the grade.
Albert's the man who stam-
peded use. in the last three
minutes of play with three long
. flips that set up the winning
touchdown and broke up a 7-to-7
tie In that game his passes net

Again his generalship and ac-
curacy brought Stanford from
away behind to beat mighty
Washington. And against Oregon
State he was a one-man whirl-

and handling the ball from cen
ter in ShaughneSSy's T forma-
ton.
It was perhaps ShaughneSsy's
master stroke at Stanford when
he took Albert cut of left half
back position as early as spring
practice and gave him his present
extremely heavy assignment
Frankie's a gambler when a
score is in prospect. and IN this
policy obviously has his coach's
support In the use game an
assistant coach desperately phon-
ed to Shaughnessy from the
press box that Stanford should
hold the ball and be content with
the existing tie. Shaughnessy
laughed it off and just about then
Albert started the touchdown pa
rade.
At times his gambling has put

Although his record for COM
pleted passes looks good on paper
il is lot better in fact Many a
flawless pass has been ruined by
a slow receiver. or by a covering
opponent who simply couldn't be
shaken off.
Frankie-or Prince Albert. as
some of the boys call hirn-does
not carry the bah much and when
he does is not especially success
full. Stanford's straight ground
gamers are principally Standlee,
Kmetovic and Gallerneau.
Albert is 20 years old, stands
feet 9 inches, and weighs 40
pounds. He comes from Glen
dale. Calf.
Stanford's delirious rooters,
who are reacting as might be ex-
pected from the niseries OF the
cellar position last year. are well
aware Of Frankie's inspired and
often perilous manner Of calling
plays. A remark often heard in
the stands is. 'SYou never know
what that guy will do"

whether the little quarter. has

terprise or whether an equally
wild one has set I'D a touchdown.

''We have never had a party, my

would dread above all others would
be necessity of having party. We
know so many girls, and hardly any
boys at all. To have 80 girls arrive,
and men, would be too horrible!

she wants me to 60 with her. My

be "go" if you two were the only

your own little establishment. Make

carefully, and when you feel ready
for it begin with informal little sup

Record of Results.
In recording the results obtained
by use of iodine alone, Drs. Redisch
and Perloff state that iodine causes
a great improvement in some pa
tients, has no effect in others, and
makes still others worse. By using
sodium iodide with the pure iodine,
instead of potassium iodide, results
showed about 10 per cent of the
cases completely and permanently
cured, 40 per cent free of symp-
toms so long as iodine is used, and
almost so per cent "almoSt" free
of symptoms, but with some signs
and symptoms still present.
The thought then is that while
many cases must undergo surgery,
and others treatment by X-ray,
there are many other cases in which
iodine alone, or iodine with rest,
brings relief of symptoms.

Dizziness Often
Due to Allergy

4 MONG your friends and ac-
"a quaintances you likely have a
number who are sensitive or allergic
to various foods. They will tell you
that certain food brings on an
attack of hives or an upset stom-
ach or an attack of asthma, or a
head cold. The eating of foods to
which one is sensitive is now be-
ieved to be the cause of attacks of
dizziness that were formerly blamed
on the liver. Just as foods infiame
the lining of nose, throat and bron-
chial tubes, the lining of the stom-
ach and the surface of the skin, so
can they cause an Inflammation of
the inner ear, thickening the lining,
upsetting the balancing canals and
SO causing dizziness.
DR.. L. H. Criep, Pittsburgh, in
Pennsylvania Medical Journal, Har-
risburg, states that the number of
cases of dizziness due to allergy is
greater than suspected. That aller-
gy causes swelling and puffiness of
the inner ear, just as it causes swell
ing and puffiness of the skin, lining
of nose and other parts, is logical
or reasonable particularly when all
the other conditions found in allergy
are present in these cases, such as
family history of allergy and other
allergic symptoms (asthma, hay fe-
yer, eczema and the like) and the
tests for aIergy are positive.
Dizziness (vertigo) due to allergy
may be the only symptom present
or there may be other symptoms
such as deafness, ringing in the
ears Zone or both sides), and stom-
ach upsets.
DR.. Criep points out that similar
symptoms-loss of hearing, ringing
in ears, dizziness, headache-may
be due to tumors, infections, poison
ing and bleeding into inner ear, so
that all these conditions should be
considered and searched for, before
blaming tie symptoms on allergy.
If none of these conditions is pres
ent, it is reasonable to believe that
allergy may be the cause.

to retain their high ideals of

Others have mothers and fa-

W. P. A. Cuts Favored
As Partial Offset
To Defense Costs
AnnuIist Editor Feurs
Prediction OutIoy
Despite Job Coins
Special Dispa tch 10 The Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, Sept. 28-If Wash
ington has any intention of putting
through the huge defense program
without beggaring the taxpayers, it's
high time it began cutting down
the w. P. A., says D. w. Ellsworth,
editor, in The Annalist.
1t is true, he points out, that some
OF the w. P. A. employment is on
defense construction projects but,
relatively, it's small. From June 13
to August 81. according to study
by the National Industrial Confer
ence Board, w. p A. defense prof.
ects amounted to s33 .879 900. as COM
pared with total Army and Navy
contracts of s2,243 99l 900.
Only by cutting down on some of
the non-defense expenditures such
as w. P. a., Mr.. Ellsworth explains,
can some of the tremendous burden
of defense expenditures be light
ened. For such economy there is
plenty Of opportunity. But that the
administration will take advantage
of it is doubtful because on that
subject it continues silent.
ut is undoubtedly this silence.
indeed, that has led to widespread
fears that despite the increased
employment being created by the
defense program. the Federal Gov
ernment will expand its work-re-
lief activities prior to the election.
Just prior to the 1886 and 1898
elections w. P A. and total Gov
ernment employment did increase.
In both instances business conditions
warranted the opposite course.
In 1886, a seasonal rise in unem-
ployment began in October but Fed
eral employment began to expand
in July. In October and November
Federal employment was held at the
same level as in the previous spring
although unemployment had de-
creased in the meantime Federal
employment reached a new high
record in October and November,
1898, despite the fact that unem-
ployment, though large, had been
declining since June.
Thus far there has been little to
indicate that between now and No.
vember 1910, the same strange thing
will happen. at least on any large
scale. In July, w. P. A. employ
ment increased slightly while a de-
crease in total Federal employment
was caused by a seasonal decline in
the rolls of the N. Y. A.
