THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SAl.EM. OREGON THURSDAY. DECEMBER 26, 192!) CADETS, CARDINALS TAPER OFF FOR GRID GAME IV CK KlCHT WEST POINTERS CONTINUE WORK WITH SECRECY Stanford University (IP With only two days left before the qtan ford-West Point football game, both teams Thursday were putting the finishing touches on their oliense. The West Pointers mitfht be play ing ping-pong in the Stanford sta dium as far as anyone can tell, for the sports writer that can get with' In miles of the secret practice ses sions, has not been born. But enough is known of the Army style of play to surmise that Coach Biff Jones' squad is concentrating on offensive plays designed to put Christian Cftgle into the clear where he can do the most good or harm depending on whether you look at It from an eastern or western view point. The Stanford boys, working out In lull view of the journalistic fra ternity as is their wont, ran through plays with both power and speed backfields. The varied Stanford offense, cal culated to meet any conditions that It finds opposing it, is not sure what It will run into Saturday and so Is wisely preparing for anything. Herb Flelshhacker, plunging bark- field heavyweicht, will in all prob ability be able to play Saturday de spite a knee injury, although Perry Taylor was expertcd to be seen In place of Walt Heinccke, injured center. The West Point squad was free ircm injuries. Christmas Day found both squads practicing in the afternoon, al though the Army took time out in the moaning to gather around Christmas tree In Branner Hall, re ceive gifts and good wishes, and to prrsent their coach with a wrist watch. an CI J1 c Alan J.Gould There no longer need be any pub lic concern over the old age of the venerable Mr. George Herman Ruth. Mr. Ruth. In fact, has become a solid citizen, with an investment trust of $150,000, yielding a modest 12,000 annually, all fixed up and ready for him whenever he ceases to draw his $70,000 or more from the vaults of Colonel Jacob Ruppert and the Yankees. All the money derived from the "by-products" of Ruth's '"me, from the underwear and candy endorse ments, from the athletic equipment and shaving cream, goes into the trust fund handled by Christy Walsh, Ruth's business adviser and manager. There is not much likelihood that Ruth will have any cut in salary when he signs a new contract for 11(30 or for another term of years. There was no less to Uie Yankees In the three-year agreement, call Ins for a total of $210,000, that Ruth sinned in Colonel Ruppert's brewery oflice in February, 191!7, to become the highest paid figure in the gnme, topping even Commissioner Landls, Who gets $05,000. The Yankees won two world's championships and Kuth set a new home run reeord of 60 following the signing of this contract. In spite of illness, the Babe came back to lead All the circuit clouters for 1929. The Babe, although no doubt Slowing up. h:w lo.it ltitie if any of his batting eye. His value to the Yankees is not alone In his hitting, lor he has always been a stimulat ing influence to the other players. Whether or not Ruth's all-around ability and beseball smartness Is some day capitalized by making him manager of the Yankees, It Is certain he holds a fixed and vital plare in the club's scheme of things. For these reasons, as well as Ruth's record for the past three years at the highest salary In base ball history. Colonel Ruppert may readily offer to renew the Babe's contract for another three-year term at $70,000 or a one-year agree ment at even higher figure, with the situation at the close of 1930 to de termine the next step. Should Bob Shawkey fall to meas ure up to the hint! expectations held out for him as pilot next year It would be the logical move to install Ruth at the helm.

Widows themselves are back of the movement. They claim the idow's weeds in France are far too long and lugubrious and arc not at all in keeping with the French reputation for chiencss. Now the Duchess d'Uzes, president of the Society for Women's Suffrage, who is herself a widow has declared her eirnent supjwrt for the campaign. The duchess was widowed 50 nrs ago, but she has always worn widow's crepe although she now freely admits the style is entirely out of keeping with modern life. She bases her argument more on utility than appearance, claim that in the crowded streets, in the autobuses and subways the long veil Is a nuisance. Since the Duchess is one of the nost respected leaders of socinl life in France, it is expected that fa&hion will follow her. advice.

"They were quiet and in terested and gave me their full at- i tentlon. personally i think they are the best audience I have ever found. When I did a long swing on the vaudeville circuit at home I found the audience very hard to work with. They were gathered from too many varied Sources: thev weren't as sophisticated as these, and a one- man act like mine has to have a one-purposed audience to play to for the best results." A tennis audience, said Bill, was simply an accidental adjunct to a good match. Tiicy just happened to be there, like the center court and the hot dog stands around the grounds.
