Important Grid ' Contests on Tap k By DAVIS J. WALSH. Nsw York, Nov. 2.—Truth, crush ed to earth, will rise sg&ln like A bedspring, according to the sages. Tomorrow will know ths truth about some of our leading football teams, east and west, because for every win ner there must be a loser. The writer, for Instance, likes the Army over Yale, and Illinois over Chicago; both Yale and Chicago are undefeated to date, but It Is our Im pression that this condition is about to be altered. We like the Army because of Wood's superior punting game and the general punch of the baekfield. Likewise. Illinois seems to have the greater versatility and speed. We may be In need, but It Is a poor pencil that has no rubber. Two more unbeaten elevens of the niiddlewest will also step out, but neither seems to be in Immediate danger. Notre Dame will dispose of Purdue and Michigan will "take” Iowa or the cabbage will be utterly ruined. In the east several of our best foot ball families are due for a misunder standing. Up at Hanover, N. H., Cornell and Dartmouth are ready and waiting. Neither has lost a game this year and neither intends to. We pick Dartmouth, against popular clamor to the contrary. The claim is based upon the promise that Dart mouth showed itself to be a great , eleven in beating Harvard, and that Cornell has yet to disprove the theory that a team is no stronger than its forward line. The undefeated teams of Syracuse and Penn State will clash at Syra cuse, and a third, Washington and \ Jefferson, will play Lafayette in New York. We fancy Penn State and 0 "Washington and Jefferson, although recently Syracuse has proved itself more powerful than its early per formances indicated any may have something to say to the contrary. Other games of moment the coun try over Include the meetings of Pennsylvania and Pittsburgh, Wash ington State and Oregon, Navy and Colgate, Minnesota and Northwestern, Baylor and Texas M. A A., and De troit and Marquette. Offhand we would say that Pitt is a jump in front of Pennsylvania, the Navy is due over Colgate, and Detroit is able to trim Marquette. We might swing wild on the other two games, but caution forbids. Harvard and Phinceton are due for "brithers” with the Bib Three series hovering In the immediate offing. The Tigers play Swarthmore and Harvard meets Tufts. The games are bromides. Sande Understands My Own / New York, Nov. 2.—Earl Sande’s Intimate knowledge of the moods and whims and racing ability of My Own will serve as an advantage to Zev when the prize 3-year-olds meet in the Latonia championship on Saturday, race track enthusiast* declared to day. They asserted there has been no instance in racing history in which a jockey go thoroughly knew the capabilities of his own mount and the chief rival of that mount, for Sande has had a leg up on Admiral Gray son’s My Own in six victories and has handled Zev in 10 of his feature I contests. pt Sande. however, declines to predict I the winner of the race.

The Huskers have been sent against the freshmen in the early practices this week, the yearlings using Notre Dame plays. There is a feeling here that Nebraska Is going to spring a surprise. Not probably In the form of a victory although such a thing is not without the bounds of reason, but in the manner of holding the Irish to a low score. Here is the situation. Notre Dame and the Huskers have been playing an annual game for the last eight years. In that time, the Nebraskans have become familiar with Rockne's system—as nearly as any outsider has ever come to doing it—and of course the Irish have familiarized themselves with the Nebraska sys tem. In the east, after Rockne’s machine had trampled Army and Princeton on succ^slve Saturday’s, he had critics believing he could remove rab bits from an iron hat. They referred to him as the magician. That feel ing Is present here to a certain ex tent but Nebraskans watched one of Rockne’s teams—the one which he is bringing almost Intact here this year—go down befors a Nebraska teanj just last year. Like the Notre Dame team this year, the 1922 eleven was fresh from a long string of conquests. Having seen this, Nebraska follow ers know that It can be done. Nat urally, it would be absurd, on the face of this year’s record to compare the 1923 Nebraska team with that team of 1922. But as green as It is, the material is present in this year's team to surprise most of the proph ets if it ever gets to going. This year's team has been goaded by failure to beat Kansas and Mis souri in ^blte of the fact that the Huskers outplayed both teams. There has been-considerable grumbling that it is due to this and that and lack of this and that. As a matter of fact. Nebraska was up against two good football teams. There is nothing radically wrong with the 1923 team. The line has functioned splendidly in the last two Offers Delicious Hot Barbecued Meats for Cold Weather There is no choicer morsel or dish for lunches and meals, these cold days and nights, than hot, juicy barbecued meats.

Captain Lewellen is. without much question, the best punter in the valley. Dave Noble, the most versatile ball-lugger in these parts is going to be a source of worry to Notre Dame. A Notre Dame game usually brings out all the fight a Nebraska team has. There is a riv alry of long standing between the two. but in this rivalry there is not one particle of bitterness. And they will be. Westley Johnson Dies, Fremont, Nov. 2.—Westley John son, 83, an attache of the district court here in different capacities for 30 years, died last night.

Iowa Cagers Ready for Season Minneapolis, Minn., Nov. 2.—Iowa State college of Ames will open the 1923-24 basket trail season at the Uni versity of Minnesota here December 15, Athletic Director Fred W. Lueh ring annotyiced today. Record Crowd Anticipated The greatest crowd that ever wit nessed a football game In Nebraska will bo on hand when the Cornhusk ers battle Notre Dame at Lincoln on November 10. On November 10, 22,000 of the 40. 000 seats in the new Nebraska uni cersity stadium will be available and it Is expected that every seat will be sold. Prior to this season the record at tendance for a Nebraska game at Lincoln was a little more than 11,000, the capacity of the old stands. More than 2,000 tickets for the Notre Dame game have been sold In Omaha. Sections E and F, two sec tions in the center of the field, were reserved for Omaha and tickets have been on sale at the Beaton Drug com pany here. Only a scattered few seats are left In section E and about 200 seats In Section F. Gophers Ready for Purple Team By Associated Frees. Minneapolis, Minn., Nov. 2.—With last Saturday’s scoreless and desper ately fought clash with Wisconsin still frq|h in their minds, the Uni versity of Minnesota arid warriors completed training today for what they hope will be their first confer ence victory of the season here to morrow when they meet Northwest ern. An unknown quantity before the Badger contest, the Gophers have risen immensely Si the Big Ten rat ing and judging by their exhibition at Madison will have to be reckoned with in "doping” the conference cham pionship. Having lost several con ference tussles to date, Northwestern Is not expected to furnish the opposi tion given by Wisconsin, but since the Purple championship possibilities are not at stake the Evanston aggre gation may spring a surprise by des perate tactics. Northwestern's previous record, however, against Minnesota, should give the Gophers further confidence. Minnesota has won nine of the games, lost but one, and tied one. Last year's game was a 7-to-7 stand off. With but one exception the start ing lineup against Northwestern is pretty sure to be the same as that which began at Wisconsin. Louis Gross, star tackle, will be out of the Purple tussle with a bruised hip, and It Is likely Hugh McDonald will fill In there. Handicapped by a soggy field at Madison, Capt. Earl Martineau was not able to show his field running prowess, but barring a slow field the flashy Minnesotan will no doubt dis play his triple-threats tomorrow. Carl Lidberg, his handy running mate, will be counted upon for smashes, and with Fred Grose almost recovered from an ankle Injury, Coach William Spaulding will have three quarter backs to choose from. Graham ran the team at Madison, Swanbeclc called signals in several preliminary games, and Grose is a veteran of last year. Rwanbeck shines in passing, while Graham is an elusive open field run ner. For the other back Job. either Lloyd Pederson or Fred Oster will be used. Oster Is good defensively and Peder son a hard smasher. Ray Eklund and CUnt Merrill will hold down the ends tomorrow. Ted Cox, burly tackle whose braced legs held up exceptionally well In the team's first conference tussle, will have as his mate McDonald, subbing for Gross, who Is Injured. Chet Gay and George Abramson will share the guard responsibilities, while Cooper will be In the pivot position.

J. Gllkeson of Peru State Normal school yesterday In normal training session at the Doug las county court house. If she really makes her work In the district a career Instead of just earning wages she can be better than a whole bri gade of tax collectors, and a "oclal center rolled Into one. Mr. Gllkeson told of a school dis trict In Saunders county, where no one had paid his taxes for over a year. This was brought sharply home to the schoolma’am when the funds for the school ran out. The day after her discovery she gave the children a lesson on taxa tion. It must have been a hummer, for Immediately shame faced parents began straggling into the county court house. Within two weeks every one In the county had paid up. This teacher began her work at $50 a month. Within four years she was raised by the appreciative farm ers to $135 a month. And when the financial hreak came and all the other teachers in the county were receiving wage cuts she was given an Incre se. The rural achoolma’am who can get the backing of the community can make Just what she pleases of her school, declared Mr. Gllkeson. He told of a young girl who took a poorly equipped district school In Clay county and promptly set to work to convince her patrons that they need ed a new one. Inside two years she Quiet Celebration of Hallowe'en in Columbus Columbus. Neb., Nov. 2.—Columbus police are wondering what has be come of the old-fashioned Hallowe’en pranks. For the first time in the his tory of the town wAhing was carried away and youngsters gave all of their time to masked parties, carrying pumpkin faces about the city and soaping about a half dozen windows. Not a single depredation of any kind was reported, for the first time In the history of the city, according to Chief of Poiice Jack Dehman. Child Hurt in Fall From Swing at Playgrounds Columbus, Neb., Nov. 2.—Irene Jen sen, 8 year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs Fritz Jensen, liv.ng near New man Grove, was severely Injured when she was thrown through the air from a swing at the play grounds of the rural school she attends. The child was being pushed back and forth and left go of the ropes when the accident happened. had a modern building with the best equipment and the first school vic trola in the county. Then another poorly equipped dis trict, getting fired with ambition, asked her to do the same thing there. And she did. Making the school house a social center helps greatly In obtaining the support of patrons, maintained Mr. Gilkeson. He urged teachers to start the school year with a community “feed" at the school house, and told of one district where this was worked out. On the first day of school all the women in the district made a big picnic supper and Joined the crowd In the yard of the schoolhouse. If the men wanted anything to eat, they had to come, too. A short program after dinner turned everyone's thoughts to ward the school, Its achievements and needs. “The trouble with most of our rural schools," said the normal head, "is the teachers think they are merely marking time while they are In the country, and try to get away to a town school as soon as possible." He urged the rural teacher to live in the district where she teaches, to spend her week-ends there, go to church there, and In every way join in the life of the community. A future lies ahead of her right there In the country, he insisted. Be sides the chance of building up her school, posts as county superintend ent or as expert on rural schools lie ahead of the successful rural teacher. Peru normal, he said, has been look ing for two years for the right sort of person to take charge of a de partment of rural schools, but has not found anybody with the right I 1 Lee L.
