Coaches Look For More Satis
factory Results in
Future Games

veloping a powerful football team.
He is John O'Hearn, well known in
the football world as "Jack", captain
Of the 1914 team and one of the
greatest ends ever developed at,
Ithaca. O'Hearn is a close student
of the game and was considered one
of the brainiest football players that
ever wore the "C".
With O'Hearn and Jimmie Munns
captain of the fighting 1913 team re
enforcing the regular coaching staff,
composed of Speedy Rush, Ray "Van
Orman, and Willard Cool, the Cornell

gratifying development both in de
fensive and offensive play is the re
sult. . '
Inexperienced Players
The Cornell squad being largely
made up of inexperienced players, it
has naturally been at a disadventage
in the early games because the
coaches haven't had the time needed
to make green material into the
finished product. But results are
coming now and tf the developments
of the past few days mean anything
at all. Captain Shiverick will not be
the only man to star for the Cor
nellians.
Coach Rush will practically the

with injuries have rejoined the squad.

fastest and smoothest-working foot
ball machines in the but the

test confident in their ability to pull

goal.

being filled by Soltz, of Lock Haven
Normal, who is showing up very
good.

, Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 25.—Har
',vard brought out a new backfteld
for the football game with University

CORNELD MEETS DARTMOUTH
By Associated Press
New York, Oct. 25.—The football
teams of Cornell and Dartmouth
meet at the Polo Grounds here to
day with combinations slightly weak
ened as the result of hard games a
week ago.
Although the left side of the Dart
mouth line will probably contain one
or m6re second-string players, the
Hanover eleven is a slight favorite.
The two institutions have not met
on the gridiron since 1912, when
Dartmouth defeated Cornell 24 to 0.
PATCHED UP YALE TEAM

a good margin. Kempton, who start
ed in the previous games at a sub
stitute was in the Eli lineup as
regular quarterback.
SATURDAY EVENING,
Reo Motor Car Co.
Speeds Up Production
Lansing, Mich., Oct. 25. Prob
ably the largest production of any
single truck model anywhere was
attained at the Reo plant Wednes
day when over a hundred Speed
Wagons came off the assembly
chain in the course of a nine-hour
working day. "
While this production was above
the average for this model it was
not the result of a sudden spurt but
rather of a continuous and sustained
effort to meet the remarkable coun
try-wide demand for this success
ful vehicle. Facilities have been in
creased steadily, yet they have fail
ed to keep pace with the demand!
Neither has the shortage of rail
road cars checked the development
of the truck business. Where freight
cars were not available dealers have
driven trucks over the roads, radi
ating out from Lansing in all direc
tions. Coupled with the great de
mand urging them on to driveways
was the fact that the Speed Wagon,
while a real truck, is both fast and
easy riding and handles as easily
as a touring car. The same quali
ties which make it a favorite for
long distance passenger and freight
hauling make possible long distance
driveaways.
Fleets of Speed Wagons have been
going over the road to points at such
distance ,as Shreveport, La., Bir
mingham, Ala., Atlanta, Ga., Toronto,
Ont., Hartford, Conn., Boston and
Philadelphia. Truck driveaways
Wednesday were to Charlotte, N. C.;
Memphis, Tenn.; Pittsfleld, Mass.:
and Dubuque, la. Among the destl
nations of passenger driveaways for
the day were Portland, Ore.. Den
ver, Colo., Richmond, Va„ Jefferson
City, Mo.; Montreal, Que., and Bos
ton, Mass.

When Billina placed her claw,
upon the purple footstool in the
Nome King's palace, and said the
magic word, "Ev,\ the footstool

woman's eyes were round with as

"But where are my friends, the

a shudder.
"I thought he was hon-est, but I
was mis-tak-en," remarked Tiktok.
"My thoughts are us-u-al-ly cor

fault If they some-times go wrong
or do not work prop-er-ly.'
"Smith and Tinker made a very
good job of you," said Ozma, kind
ly. "I do not think they should be
blamed If you are not quite perfect."
"Thank you," replied Tlktok.
"Then," said Billina, in her t>risk
little voice, "let us all go back to
the Nome King, and see what he has
to say for himself."
So they started for the entrance,
Ozma going first, with the Queen
and her train of little Princes and
Princesses following. Then came
I Tlktok, and the Scarecrow with Bil
lina perched upon his straw-stuffed
shoulder. The twenty-seven officers
, and the private brought up the rear.
As they reached the hall the doors
flew open before them; but then
they all stopped and stared into the
domed cavern with faces of as
tonishment and dismay. For the
room was filled with the mail-clad
warriors of the Nome King, rank af
ter rank standing in orderly array.
The electric lights upon their brows
gleamed brightly, their battleaxes
were poised as if to strike down
their foes: yet they remained motion
less as statues, awaiting the word
of command.
And in the center of this terrible
army sat the little King upon his
throne of rock. But he neither
smiled nor laughed. Instead, his
face was distorted with rage, and
most dreadful to behold.
After Blllina had entered the
palace Dorothy and Evrlng eat down
to wait the success or failure of her
mission, and the Nome King occupied
his throne and smoked his long
pipe for a while in a and
contented mood.
Then the bell above the throne,
which sounded whenever an en
chantment was broken, began to
ring, and the King gave a start of
annoyance and exclaimed, "Rocket
ty-ricketta!"
When the bell rang a second time
the King shouted angrily, "Bmudgo
and blazes!" and at a third ring he
screamed in a fury, "Hippikalorlc!"
which must be a dreadful work be
cause we don't know what it means.
After that the bell went on ring
ing time after time; but the King
was now so violently enraged that
he could not utter a word, but hop
ped out of his throne and all around
the room in a mad frenzy, so that
he reminded Dorothy of a jumping
jack.
The girl was, for her part, filled
with Joy at every peal of the bell,
for it announced the fact that Bil
lina had transformed one more or
nament into a living person. Dor
othy was also amazed at Billina's
success, for she could not Imagine
how the yellow hen was able to
guess correctly from all the be

wilderlng number of articles clus
tered in the rooms of the palace.
But after she had counted ten, and
the bell continued to ring, she knew
that not only the royal family of
Ev, but Ozma and her followers
also, were being restored to their
natural forms, and she was so de
lighted that the antics of the angry
King only made her laugh merrily.
Perhaps the little monarch could
not be more furious than he was be
fore, but the girl's laughter nearly
drove him frantic, and he roared at
her like a savage beast. Then, as
he found that all his enchantments
were likely to be dispelled and set
free, he suddenly ran to the little
door that opened to the balcony and
gave the shrill whistle that summon
ed his warriors.
Editor's Note —Next week we shall
learn how the Scarecrow outwitted
the wicked' Nome King, when he
sought to make Dorothy and Ozma
and all their party his prisoners,
and of how they thus defeated the
King's terrible armies.

FUNDS SOUGHT
FORLOUVAIN
Americans Aid in Rebuilding
of the Belgian University;
Half Million Needed
Reports reaching the executive
committee of the national commit
tee of the United States for the
Restoration of the University of
Louvain emphasizes the acute ne
cessity of providing at the earliest
possible moment a library to replace
the building destroyed by the Ger
mans.
The executive committee, of
which Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler
of Columbia University is chairman,
said in a statement just issued that
the work of the University of Lou
valn was being seriously retarded
by the absence of library facilities.
The other members of this commit
tee are Thomas W. Lamont, Alexan
der J. Hemphill, Herbert Putnam
and E. H. Outerbridge.
The attention of the American
people is called to the fact that the
University of Louvain has practically
no endowment, and that it is depen
dent upon the small fees of its stu
dents and individual gifts. The
eagerness of the Belgians to resume
their studies was indicated by an
enrollment of no less than 2,000
last April.
The committee has received fur
ther assurance from his eminence
Cardinal Mercier, of his keen lnter-
I est in the national project to build
| and equip a library at Louvain at a
cost of $500,000. The response to
the appeal for funds in the cities
which the Cardinal has visited, it
was said, has been encouraging. The
committee's statement made it plain,
however, that the $500,000 goal was
far from being reached and that
substantial contributions were needed
if the committee's purpose to com
plete the raising of the fund by
November 4, when the Cardinal sails
for home, is realized.
