FOOTBALL GAMES
ARE PLAYED TODAY
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 10. Major
interest on the Pacific coast and in
tho Rocky Mountain states today cen
ters on games in which undefeated
elevens swing into action against
teams considered - nearly equal In
strength with the possibility of defeat
for so mo teams jumbling tho align
ment in races for conference honors.
Chief among theso was the contest
at Los Angeles where the uncon
quored University of California lined
up against the University of' Southern
California which has suffered one de
feat this season, but Is rated as a
"comeback" possibility, owing to the
14 to 7 defeat of Stanford several
weeks ago.
Washington, considered Califor
nia's lone rival this season for confer
ence honors, meets Montana at Seat
tle in a 'non-conference clash. Grid
iron experts expoct a comparatively
easy victory for the Huskies. Stan
ford was expected to put up a strong
fight against Oregon at Portland.
Other games-in the coast region in
clude Santa Clara and St.. Mary's,
Red lands, and the University of Cali
fornia, southern branch, at Los An
geles; Fresno Teachers and Nevada at
Reno: Willamette and Whitman at
Salem and Puget Sound and Taciflc
at Forest Grove.
In the Rocky mountain conference
the powerful University of Colorado
team meets an ancient foe in tho
Colorado School of Mines with a pos
sibility of tho shattering of champion
ship aspirations. The Colorado Ag
gies clash with the University of Den
ver, Utah Is arrayed against Colorado
college at Colorado Springs and Brig'
ham Young facoa tho Utah Aggies at
Logan.
CHICAGO, Nov. 10. The Illinois-
Wisconsin struggle held the center of
the stage in western conference cir
clcs today with a strong possibility
that the game between undefeated
elevens, will bo one of tho historical
events of the 1923 season'. '
Greatest Interest .In intersectlonal
contests in the middlewost centered
in tho Notre Dame-Nebraska game.
Other big ten games hayo iittlo bear
ing on the championship.
Chicago was a favorite to win from
Indiana at Chicago, but in the second
class division of th big ten, Purdue
and Ohio State appeared to -be about
evenly matched for their battle at
LnFayctto. In non-conference games
Michigan engaged tho Quantico ma
rines at Ann Arbor with the Wolver-r
inos the favorites and Northwostorn
took on Lake Forest at Evanuton.
Minnesota and Iowa were idle.
TO DYE TREES
ALL COLORS OF
THE RAINBOW
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 10. By feed
ing dye to the living wood, according
to S. Weinberg, a chemist of this city,
trees can be colored 32 difforcnt
shades, including apple green, olive
green ,obony, weathered oak and sal
mon pink.
Experiments with a dye, which
Weinberg has discovered, are being
'conducted In the botanical gardens of
the University of Pennsylvania with
i three trees which have been presented
, to him by the department of botany.
. Introduced into tho base of the tree,
the dye Is diffused throughout the
, branches by the natural functioning
of the troo, Weinberg said. Evidence
is furnished by the presence in the
botanical gardens of a dark blue tree,
a vivid groen popular, and a salmon
pink maplo. .
Assisted by Dr. Herbert Renner, of

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 10. The duel
between General Arnulfo Gomez,
commander of the Mexico City garri
son, and Gonerai Antonio Vlllareal, a
presidential candidate, which was to
have' taken placo at dawn today, has
been postponed until after the elec
tions. That decision was reached last
night by the seconds of the two men.
It was decided that inasmuch as duels
are a criminal offense, Vlllareal would
have been subject to a term in prison
had tho engagement taken place, and
thus deprived of his rights as a citizen
ho could not have gone before tho
people as a candidate for the presi
dency. The dispute between Gomez and
Vlllareal roso from an exchange of
charges of reprehensible conduct 'on,
the fiold of battle following comments
made by tho candidate concerning the
recent allegations of co-operatlstas
that Gomez was implicated in a plot
to attack them. The seconds . have
agreed tnfcit, the duel will take placo
within three days after the election.
JAPS CAN'T TEACH
'HONOLULU The system of gov

"cannot endure half-American and
