. HOROSCOPE

SCORPIO-(Oct. % TO Nov.
22)-Subjects of this sign have
great vitality and personal mag
netism. They possess imdomitable
viii and self-control. At times
they may appear unsympathetic,
although they are merely ruled by
stern common sense. Many have
great taste in the choice of words
and become powerful public speak
ers. The ruling planet is Mars
and the lucky day Tuesday. These
Martians are determined, selfconfi-
dent and critical.
FRIDAY, OCTOBER IS
Adverse planetary aspects rule
today. Good news may be ex-
pected concerning war achieve
ments by the United Nations.
HOUSE AND HOME: Women
are under rather an unfavorable
sway which may incline them to
look on the dark side of things.
They may be nervous and unduly
sensitive. Members of the fam
lily circle should be interested in
outside activities. This is a day
to finish what has been well be-
gun instead of starting anything.
Wartime diet should be extremely
beneficial, because there is plenty
of food that is nourishing although
luxuries may be uncommon.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Labor
will be much affected in coming
months and the commercial world
will feel marked reactions. Mobil-
ization or definite government di-
rection of great numbers of work.
ers will cause even more disloca-
tons than have been necessary in
recent months. Neptune in Virgo
until August 1913 will exercise
marked influence which will be
ultimately most fortunate for the
unions which are to attain great
power in postwar readjustments.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Scientists
and statesmen with vision will
foresee the new order that will
follow the war OF terrible waste of
life and property-the most de-
structive force in all history. They
will discuss improved methods of
handling labor and providing occu-
pations for millions of returning
service men but will find their
efforts to prepare for peace half
hesrtedly supported. Again the
seers will call attention to the
American habit of idly waiting for
events that are foretold, thus fall
ing TO be ready for national emer-
gencies.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS:
Conflict in the Caucasus will gain

losses OF men, The Suez Canal

increased vigilance. The outlook

the war might be traced to the
agitation fostered over this small
group Of people and the knotty
problem of dual citizenship. When
the treaty was made with Japan
by President Theodore Roosevelt.
about 80 years ago, apparently
nothing was written to cover this
point. Japan has always been very
sensitive over the status Of her
subjects In America, and whether
we like II or not, Tokyo does make
claims on the children Of her
nationals. The present wild talk
about wholesale Acknowledgement
and deportation is both senseless
and cruel.

Harbor and the postponement of

BRUINS, RANGERS
 WIN BEFORE 22,000
By United Press

Scoring three goals in the open- ing period Tuesday night at Bos- ton, the Bruins nosed out the Chi cago Blackhawks, 3 2, before crowd of 10,8O0 and regained the National Hockey League leadership.
 It was Boston's first triumph over Chicago in four starts and the Blackhawks' sixth straight loss Boston's scores were made by Woody Dumart, Roy Conacher and Eddie Wiseman, all on three-man rushes.
 The New York Rangers defeated the Detroit Red Wings, 3-2, before 11,000 at Madison Square Garden in the only other Tuesday night game. The Rangers triumph put them in a second place tie with the idle Toronto Maple Leafs. It might have been a costly victory for the Rangers because Ott Heller suffered a possible fracture of the left shoulder.
 The Rangers took the lead in the second period on goals by Ali Pike and Alex Shibicky and hung on to win despite a last period rally that netted the Red Wings two goals.

Ruling Players Intent Leaves Too Much to Eastern Basketball Officials Imagination; West Wants
 Elm to Call Elm as They See Elm

"One-time professionals have not been able to keep up with the col legiate game that permits screen ing" says pr. Phog Allen, who was director of the 1886 Olympic team.
 The old pros had rule that if you did. it was a foul.
 Not being elastic and adaptable enough they still try to foist their antiquated ideas on the college game.
 of course, it would be silly for Ned Irish, the Madison Square Garden promoter, to employ officials who would not carry forth the con- cepts of the eastern coaches"
 Pointing out that Dave McMillan of Minnesota is the only former professional coaching in the West, pr. Allen stresses that the college trained coach without professional experience has his players play the ball, which provides more oppor- tunnity for scoring and a more open game. AS Dr. Allen contends, when you play the man you have five man team wrestling match.
 The first principle of Dr. James Naismith, who originated the game, was that each player was entitled to his position on the floor.
 The rules emphasize this point.
 Dr. Allen quotes Nat Holman, famous professional now coaching ! City College of New York, on Dock ing, which is a foul, according to the rules: Frequently an offensive player attempting to sidestep an ap- preaching defensive player may cause contact. In such cases the officials are to be guided solely by the apparent intent of the offensive 1 player
 ] Dr. Allen argues that this un- savory and unavoidable authority given to the officials certainly would not make the game anything but a guessing contest.
 He wants officials to call 'em as they see 'em. No more guessing games.
 Just as soon as we encourage the use of set plays or key men to check a player in pursuit of his op- ponent, we are destroying one of fundamental factors of offense, , writes Holman.
 This" declares Dr. Allen, lis in direct conflict with the majority thought of the National Basketball Coaches Association, as well as the expressed statement of the Rules Guide"
 In Madison Square Garden this season, have noted looks of utter beWilderment on the faces of west ern players after an eastern official had called a blocking foul.
 This difference in interpretation has developed into more than a variation of technique. ! It has resulted in a whole new style and theory of play, something the founders of the game never ni- tended.
 Rule interpretations should be standardized. AS things stand, the West and East are playing almost two different games. That's an un- healthy state.
 The boys ought to get together.

Today's Sport Parade

lost a bowl game-mainly because it rained.
 Bad Weather
 In the Sugar Bowl, Missouri could not pass because of the wealth CT, so Fordham played a seven man line against the T and held it rather convincingly. On the west coast it rained, and Oregon State smeared Stanford. There is point one: A team which normally plays two or three games in bad weather gambles its chances on its style.
 Point two is that if 8 coach has the material necessary to make the T click, which means an exception al line, fast and smashing full- back, a passing and kicking quar- terback with the brain of a genius, and at least one halfback who can scoot along in rabbit fashion, then he has the material to win even if he uses the Braille system.
 The Bears this year boasted all the mentioned material, and more. It was carefully chosen by George HalaS after some of the shreWdest scouting ever seen, and man for man it was about the best ever gathered into one dressing room. That is the big reason why the Bears won; that and Halas' infinite capacity for hard work.
 When Sutherland at Pitt, Jones at USC, Wallace Wade at Alabama, and Bernie Bierman at Minnesota had college material approaching Halas, they seldom came as close to defeat as did the Bears. Their par t:cular styles of advancing the ball gained just as much praise and as many laurels as the Halas T has collected in its circle.
 The big reason the T proved so popular is that it looks exciting. It is flashy, fast and thrill inspiring The customers will pay to see it be- cause the ball is thrown around in a loose style. This is virtue, of course and the merits in the professional game can't be denied. But for gen. eral consumption in colleges-this vote is a resounding nay.
