Opening q Gift
Dear Mrs. Post: Is it always
imperative to open a gift handed
to one in the presence of the
giver? Should a gift never be put
aside and opened later? 90 In
any case, must thank-you note
be sent?
Answer: AS rule the gift is
opened and the person thanked
at the time. However. if other
people are present who brought
nothing, it would be awkward to
open it in their presence and,
therefore, best to put it away and
open it later. CD It is not neces-
sary to write a note of thanks
if you have had time to look at
the present with appreciation and
make your thanks sincere.

Believes He Sees
Dead Wife, Dies OF
Heart Attack

GOLDSBORO, N. C. (ANP)-
A man who believed that he had
seen a vision of his dead wife died
last week in a city Jail cell.
The dead man is John Edmun-
son, Sc, who lived alone in a little
house. He had been arrested a
week before his death for taking
numerous shotgun shots at "faces"
he saw staring at him when his
wife returned" to him.
He told police that his wife re-
turned to him from the dead, then
went to bed where he was. AT
this time, he said, he saw a num-
Der of faces staring into his room.
Because he could not stop seeing
the faces, he said, he began to
shoot at them.
His shooting stopped on this
magical night several hours after
it began when county officials ar
rested him. At the time of his
death arrangements were being
made to have him moved to the
State hospital for the insane.

NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-Thanks
to Buddy Young and George Rat
terman, the New York Yankees
are in first place in the National
Division of the National Football
League today.
Young sprinted Is yards in the
last five minutes to give the
Yanks a 1924 victory over the
winless San Francisco Forty-N Min
ers last night before 5000 fans
in Yankee Stadium. Rain held
the crowd down.
The victory enabled the Yanks
to break a tie for the top rung
with the Chicago Bears and De-
troit Lions who were idle.
Until Young broke away it ap-
peared the Forty Miners, sparked
by frankie Albert, would win their
first game of the year. They led,

down passes and connected on 21
out OF 80 attempts for 254 yards.
Ratterman Goes to Work.
But Ratterman. who wound up
with three touchdown passes while
completing 18 out of 35 heaves
hat were good for 280 yards,

then hit George Taliaferro for a

Young'S payof score came after
George Taliaferro returned a punt

Ratterman didn't throw pass as
the Yanks ate up the remaining
distance in five plays.
Albert hit Halfbacks Jim Cason

San Francisco drives. Cason
caught eight for 124 yards and
a touchdown and StrZykalsi six

heaIe Is Confident
His Crippled Eagles
Will Win Crown
BY the Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 49,
Coach Earle (Greasy) Neale says
the Philadelphia Eagles need a
doctor more than a coach these
days, but he still thinks his club
will retain it's National Football
League championship.
Neale's major problem this sea-
son has been fielding healthy
squad. Ever since the preseason
exhibition schedule began in Au-
gust, the Eagles have been minus
key players. Let's take look at
one of the most imposing injury
lists in football today:
The Eagles opened their exhi-
bition card against the College
, All-Stars. They lost the game
and two of pro footballs all-time
greats. Steve Van Buren,. lead
ing ground gamer, reinjured bad
toe. Captain AL Wistert, more
than once an all-pro tackle,
banged up a knee so badly Neale
thought he'd never play football
again.
Wistert Finally Starts.
Van Buren went home and had
his toe operated on. He didn't
play in any of the remaining ex-
hibitions and missed the impor-
tant season opener with the Cleve-
land Browns. He played a few
minutes against the Chicago Car
dinals and smashed up a rib or
two. So he missed last weeks
game against Los Angeles.
WiStert, too, went home from
training camp after the All-Star
game. He rested and then began
to bicycle 20 miles day to regain
il the strength in his game leg. He
finally started last Saturday night
against Los Angeles.
In the Cleveland game Clyde
Scott, reputed to be the fastest
halfback in pro football, suffered
a broken shoulder. He's through
for the season.
Bosh Pritchard, brilliant half
back, hasn't played a game be-
cause of a floating cartilage in his
knee. Pritchard was operated on
yesterday and will be out at least
five weeks. He may be ready for
the last three games of the season.
At least the Eagles are not replac-
ing him in the hope that the fleet
back will be ready to help out in
those final battles.
Hasn't Lost Confidence.
Add to these injuries: Tackle
Vic Sears. broken nose and ankle
sprain; Joe Muha. pinched nerves
in his back: Bud Sutton, halfback,
ankle sprain, and Russ Craft, star
defensive back, charley horse.
Greasy hasn't lost any of his
confidence. however.
I've had worse troubles than
this" Neale says. We'll be all
right. I think Well win this
league again. The Browns and
New York Giants are the teams
to beat and I think we can do it."
Neale blamed himself for the
opening season defeat by Cleve-
land. IF I had seen the Browns
in action only once, our pass de-
fense would have been lot diff
ferent," he said.
He intimated that the Eagle
Brown game in December may
be a horse of another color. Neale
can't forget that 35 to 10 humilia-
tion before some 10000 people at
Municipal Stadium here.
How does he think the NFL
championship game will look?
ooh, I'd say the Eagles against
the Chicago Bears, Los Angeles
Rams or New York Yanks."
