WHERE FIRST GRID CLASSIC WAS HELD
Rutgers Selected as Site
For Football Hall of Fame
By HARMAN W. NICHOLS
Washington, Oct. 27 (U.PJ Rutgers university in New Bruns
wick, N. J., has been selected as the site for the national football
hall of fame.
There'll be many great names engraved there that you and
Dad and I will remember.
Walter Eckersall, the immortal
from the University of Chicago
at the turn of the century. Wil
lie Heston of Michigan. Harold
"Red" Grange, the iceman from
Wheaton, 111., who became fa
mous as the Galloping Ghost of
the gridiron at Champaign. Not
to mention the Four Horsemen
of Notre Dame Don Miller,
Jim Crowley, Elmer Layden and
Harry Stuhldreher.
Plus coaches like Fielding
Yost, Amos Alonzo Stagg, the
Grand Old Man; Knute Rockne,
Bob Zuppke, Glenn "Pop" War
ner, and many another.
The shrine will be erected at
New Brunswick as a reminder
that it was there that the first
college football classic was
played under soccer rules.
That was on November 6, 1869
when Rutgers played Princeton.
Well, you can go back across
the years since then and get up
good fist fight around any hot
stove about who was the best
football player who ever lived.
Some will pick Eckersall, who
made the University of Chicago
great after the turn of the cen
tury and who later turned to
writing sports. Others will pick
Grange, who did a better job of
lugging a football and outrun
ning his blockers than he did de
livering ice.
Still others will pick Bronko
Nagurski, the bruising fullback
who once played for the Univer
sity of Minnesota and went on
to pick up a basketful of long
green as a professional wrestler.
But when the curtain call
comes for nominations for all-
time great, how can they count
out old Jim Thorpe?
The old Indian never played
In any big conference. But he
was great and he got the head

from the rest of the teepee he
made a football team out of the
Carlisle Indians.

and dragging along half a dozen
opponents as a warning of things
to come. They generally came.
Jim went from football into
track. They guy could do any
thing. He went to the Stockholm
Olympics and took on all com
ers in the decathlon.
Big Jim came back to America
billed as the greatest athlete who
ever lived. He went into the
professional ranks and played
baseball with, among others, the
New York Giants and the Cin
cinnati Reds. He was no Ty
Cobb; no Tris Speaker, but he
did all right. He played pro
football, also.
Then all of a sudden the Simon
Pures discovered that maybe
Jim had accepted a sweater or
a wrist watch or maybe a quar
ter or so before he entered the
Olympics. So they took all the

When the steak is almost done

cheese mixture over the top. Re
turn to the broiler until the mix

Coal Strike Slops
600 Rail Trains
Chicago, Oct. 27 WV-The na
was sharply curtailed yesterday
as some 600 coal-burning trains
some 600 coal-burning trains
were sidetracked because of the
coal strike.
The trains were cancelled, ef
fective last midnight, in compli
ance with an interstate com
merce commission order to con
serve coal during the strike.
Most of the trains cancelled are
secondary, short runs between
towns or suburban service.
All coal-burning carriers, with
less than a 25-day supply, were
ordered to reduce passenger ser
vice by 25 percent. Unless re
scinded, the order is to be ef
fective for two months.
The coal strike, now in its
37th day, showed no signs of
early settlement.
The New York Central can
celled 146 trains and the Penn
sylvania cut off 103.
Much of the train service west
of the Mississippi river was un
affected. Ironically, in this ter
ritory where miners are still
digging coal, all but a very small
fraction of passenger train ser
vice Is supplied by diesel power.
The electric self-starter for
automobiles was invented in De
troit in 1911 by C. F. Kettering.

Protest Jailing
Of American
Prague, Czechoslovakia, Oct.
27 OP) The United States has
protested to the Czech foreign
ministry that American o-ficials
have been unable to see a U S.
embassy official arrested five
days ago as a spy.
James K. Penfield, U. S
charge d'affaires here, said offic
ial protest was made yesterday
that American officials had fail
ed in efforts to get in touch with
the employe, Samuel Meryn, 39.
since he was jailed last Friday.
Meryn is a naturalized Amer
ican citizen of Czech origin.
Shortly after the protest note
was delivered at the foreign
ministry, Penfield (aid, he was
told the Americans were "per
fectly free" to see Meryn.
However, Penfield told a
news conference, permission to
see the imprisoned official was
cancelled later and a meeting
with him never took place. The
Czech said the cancellation was
due to what they called inaccur
ate statements on the case broad
cast by the Voice of America
The Voice of America Czech
language broadcast was moni
tored by the Czech foreign min
istry. Penfield said he had asked
Washington for a transcription
of the broadcast. He said he
would make a correction in case
there were any inaccuracies.
In Munich, John G. Heyn, as
sistant U. S. political attache in
Prague who was accused by the
Czechoslovak government of
spying on economic secrets, said
the accusation is ridiculous."

REHABILITATION AND
U. S. Trees, Grass Crops
Got Aid From Congress
By WILLIAM E. LOWELL
Washington, Oct. 27 UP) Farm crops were not the only
kind to benefit by legislation
congress.
The nation's tree and grass crops did pretty well, also.
In three acts, congress provided for (1) an early completion
of the forest survey, (2) authori-
zed a general reseeding and re
foresting program and (3) ap
proved an expanded cooperative
program with the states for fire
fighting, range rehabilitation
and tree planting.
There remain in the United
States about 415,000,000 acres
of public domain.
National forest lands comprise
about one-third of this acreage.
The remainder includes 170,
000,000 acres of vacant land, of
which about 132,000,000 acres is
in grazing districts, 55,000,000
acres in Indian reservations and
12,000,000 acres in national
parks and monuments. The re
mainder is in reclamation, mili
tary and other reservations.

Here are the facts about a strange preudice
against a 100 American product.
Put beet sugar and cane sugar side by
side. Look at them carefully. Taste. You'll find you
can't tell them apart. Trained chemists can't No
body can.
Beet sugar and cane sugar are exactly the same in
sweetness, purity, whiteness, fineness.
Why, then, the prejudice against beet sugar that
exists in some parts of the United States?
Many years ago, imperfect producing methods
caused beet sugar to look different and taste differ
ent than cane sugar.
That is how the prejudice began. But for more than
a generation now, there has been absolutely no rea
son for it
There is no finer, tweeter, purer sugar in the world
than that produced by today's beet sugar factories.
Almost one-fourth of all the sugar used in Amer
ica comes from sugar beets grown on western farms.
WhQt about elly?
The prejudice against beet sugar is strongest during
canning season. For some reason, some women think
beet sugar is not as good for making jelly.

Reseeding or reforestation of

The interior department esti
mates that 85,000,000 acres of
its rangclands are depleted and
that 22.000,000 acres should be

ize an increase of appropriations
on a sliding scale up to $10,000,

$3,000,000 for reseeding, by

Edward Joseph Wilson, 65, has
a century. He wanted the money-
for a trip to California, which
has fascinated him since boy
hood.
Wilson can't estimate how
much he spent chasing his trip
to the Golden Gate. The money,
he thinks, would be the equiva
lent of a major prize. He has
papered the walls of a room
with unsuccessful tickets
Wilson has named ticket syn
dicates after nearly every town
in California. He has tried nam
ing them after men, towns,
ships, events, omens and coin
cidences.
"Every time I've bought a
ticket I've told myself: "Here
goes for 'Frisco,' But I'm still
here," he sadly recalled.
Wilson attributes his bad luck
in lotteries to his 13th birthday
falling on December 13, and to
the fact that he spent it in a
house numbered 13.
He started his "record-breaking"
run at 14 when he bought
a ticket in an interstate lottery.
He still can remember the ticket
number of his first prize of 5
in 1903. Twenty-eight years
later he won another 10.
"I looked in all papers to make
sure it wasn't a misprint," he
recalls.

He bought a ticket and had
the half penny left. Today, he
still has the ticket and the same
halfpenny, tied with a black
ribbon as a reminder "never to

But in his 50 years of ticket

hope. "I can't give up now," he
said. "It would be just my luck
to miss out on a syndicate that

He has tried everything.
