PAGE EIGHT UNITED Theater, 306 K. Center TONIGHT AND TOMORROW JACK HOXIE IN HIS LATEST WESTERN PRODUCTION "FIGHTING FURY" BABY PEGGY in "OUR PET" WILLIAM DUNCAN in "WOLVES OF THE NORTH" LOOK TO IOWANS TO STOP GRANGE (This is the seventh of a series of articles on the college football teams by Davis J. Walsh, who is making a tour of the leading camos, east and west.) URBANA, ILL., Oct. 31.—If any team is to halt the rambling and ambling career of Hagold "Red" Grange, perhaps the greatest ball runner in the history of modern football, that team is the Univ. of Iowa, coached by Burt Ingerson, product of Illinois football and familiar with Grange's characteristics as the veteran circus man is familiar with the smell of tanbark. This statement is not the writer's own. It was made today on the eve of the Illinois coach. He based his opinion on several existing conditions, too. That Grange is by no means a well man, altho Zupke may be middle western Oil Roble. That Ingerson, former Illinois tackle, conched here under Zupke for eight seasons prior to going to Iowa this fall, and not only knows Grange's style, but Zupke's system as well. That Mellwain, official path-breaker has broken NEW YORK, Oct. 31.—Chances were good today that the eastern football horizon would be somewhat cleared by sundown tomorrow afternoon. In the west, Big Ten teams will swing into action in considerable number. The south also offered some plausible contests. In the east the foremost battles were those scheduled at New Haven between Army and Yale, the latter undefeated this year, and at Philadelphia between the Pennsylvania and LaFayette, both on the unbeaten list. Princeton, Harvard and Dartmouth bad what were considered comparatively easy contests before them. Cornell, beaten twice, was in the spotlight because it was carded with Columbia. Princeton meets Swatmore at Princeton, Harvard takes on Boston university at Cambridge, and Dartmouth meets Brown at Hanover. Among other eastern games of interest are: Boston college vs. Haskell institute at Boston and the Navy-Penn State tussle at Annapolis.

Cole, U. & C. tackle, or a gridiron war broke was today declared in meeting between Dr. I. Klein Smid and Dr. W. W. Camphent of U. of C. Here is Dr. Campbell issued at the University after the confession "At the conference be Van Klein Smid and morning there was no notion of the decision reach representatives to discussion yesterday."

VARNELL WATER GAME FOR CHI STANFORD UNIVERSITY 31.—Stanford took on Clara University bronze this afternoon. While her men looked for an no chances were being to the Missionites whose a springing surprises has the respect of the large today on the eve of the Illinoiscoach. He based his opinion on several existing conditions, tothat Grange is by no means a well man, altho Zapke may be middle western Gil Roble. That Ingerson, former Illinois tackle, coached here under Zupke for eight seasons prior to going to Iowa this fall, and not only knows Grange's style, but Zapke's system as well. That Mellwain, official pathfinder for Grange, has a broken bone in his wrist and altho ready to start the game, may lack some of his pristine ability or whatever he has. That Iowa's veteran team, with a line averaging over 195 pounds and the best ends in the conference in Otto and Romey, is just about sufficiently fool-proof, defensively, to embarrass even a miracle man. As for Grange himself, he says nothing, and does so about as often as convention permits. To see him about the campus is to see a young man of unimpressive men with a cap pulled far over his eyes and a desire to avoid all talk of football, particularly any topic thereof, particularly any own participation in the game. They tell the story here of Grange taking one of the co-eds to the movies several nights ago and upon escoring the young lady to her home, declining an invitation to enter its friendly portals. "Your father and mother are in there and they'll only start talking football," was his excuse. He seems utterly without ego of any kind. Furthermore, his hair is not red and he runs high on his comparatively easy contests before them. Cornell, beaten twice, was in the spotlight because it was carded with Columbia. Princeton meets Swatmore at Princeton, Harvard takes on Boston university at Cambridge, and Dartmouth meets Brown at Hanover. Among other eastern games of interest are: Boston college vs. Haskell institute at Boston and the Navy-Penn State tussle at Annapolis. The Illinois-Iowa scramble carded for Urbana is a Big Ten contest of such tremendous interest that it practically overshadows all else in that section. LISTEN TO THIS SEATTLE. Wash., Oct. 31.—Wealthy residents of British Columbia are preparing to establish a colony in a strange sub-tropical valley just discovered south of the Yukon territory border, according to S. C. Scott, discoverer of the valley, who was in Seattle today. Scottte spent three years in the valley in company with friendly Indians. It is almost inaccessible, his reports, and is 20 miles long by three miles wide. In spite of its northern location, it is subtropical in character, largely as the result of a series of warm springs along one side. Grass grows to a height of seven feet, the soil is fertile and strange game animals including white deer weighing a quarter of a ton and disporting but one horn each are to be found, according to Scottte. The Valley is said to be surrounded by ice clad mountains. oes, contrary to general footoball theory for running.

The sun rises in the West upon a cup of coffee STREAMING wisps of rare coffee fragrance call the West to breakfast. A vigorous start for a work-filled day. Knowledge of and insistence upon quality coffee built the coffee tradition of the West—recognized and respected everywhere. How carefully this tradition is guarded you will know the instant you pierce the vacuum seal of a tin of Hills Bros. Red Can Coffee. What a bouquet! Brew a cup and lift it to your lips. Isn't it simply perfect? No wonder the West is known as the home of wonderful coffee! With all its high quality, Hills Bros. Coffee is not high-priced. It is economical to buy—and economical to use.

C. tackle, over whom a gridiron war broke yesterday, was today declared ineligible at a meeting between Dr. Rufus Von Klein Smid, president of U. S. C., and Dr. W. W. Campbell, president of U. of C. Here is Dr. Campbell's statement issued at the University immediately after the conference. "At the conference between Dr. Von Klein Smid and myself this morning there was no modification of the decision reached by the representatives to discuss the situation yesterday." "The ineligibility of William Cole, varsity tackle of U. S. C., was clearly established by photographic copies of the financial records of Santa Ana H. S. student body. No member of the California varsity have been formally protested." VARNELL WATCHES GAME FOR CHANGE STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Oct 31.—Stanford took on the Santa Clara University bronchoos here this afternoon. While Pop Warner's men looked for an easy win, no chances were being taken with the Missionics whose ability for springing surprises has won them the respect of the larger institute. FARMER STICKS PORTLAND, ORE. Oct. 31.—Fight fans were wondering today if Frank Farmer, like Tennyson's Brook, would go on forever. The veteran lumberjack fighter, last night stood off the flashy Jimmy Delaney, of St. Paul, and also losing the decision, was on his feet and steady at the end of ten rounds. Farmer crouched, extended his left well out and buried his chin in the hollow of his shoulder. Delaney could not find a vital spot, but did send in some smashing hooks to the midriff. Delaney tried hard to put Farmer down in the closing rounds but the "old boy" took the stiff ones to the head without sagging. The decision was two votes for Delaney with one judge calling it a draw. BEARS REST FOR GAME SATURDAY BERKELEY, Oct. 21.—While the California football eleven rested quietly at Mount Diablo Country club, whence they were whisked last night after a long secret practice by Coach Andy Smith, Dr. W. W. Campbell, president of Univer of Calif., and Dr. Rufus Von Kleen Smid, president of U. S. C., met here to settle the fate of Bill Colo, star tackle, whose presence in Saturday's big game has been protested by California. War clouds which loomed yesterday when the first meeting was held between representatives of the two institutions had at least temporarily blown aside. The So.Calf, representative came north bearing the olive branch and at the meeting yesterday Stanford representatives poured oil on the waters which had been troubled by the eligibility whirlpool which threatened to engulf several of the players on both teams. Dr.Campbell and Dr.Von Klein Smid expected to meet at the former's residence and in the study lineed U.S.C. EXPECTS TO BEAT BEARS SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 31.—The hour of showdown" is at hand in the Pacific Coast football conference. Tomorrow two games will have a lot of bearing on the ultimate wearer of the 1924 football crown in the Golden West. Andy Smith must lay his cards upon the gridiron at Berkeley. He will be able to keep but few cards up his sleeve for the powerful U. S. C is coming north to win. The game will afford the first test of 1924 Bears. Coach Henderson has a triple threat eleven this year, and if reports wafted northward from the southland can be relied upon, the erstwhile "Gloomy Gus" of California football means to throw all caution to the winds, drop the defensive tactics of the past and send his team on a rampaging offensive from first tweet of the referee whistle. A victory for Son. Cal would give them enormous prestige for California tales of weakness are not being taken so loose as they were when the season started. Many experts are saying that the team that trims the Bears will sit high in coast honors. The second "showdown" in prospect is at Eugene, Ore. There are indications that the Washington Huskies will not run rough shot over the Oregon eleven, as they have over weaker opponents in early games. The Huskies should win, but their margin of victory will give a line on just how much power the Washington eleven has this year. On paper they loam as the most powerful contender for the coast title, but they have yet to transfer that paper value into gridiron performance. Tomorrow's score should do just that. Montana and Gonzaga will meet in an interesting side clash. Both have shown considerable strength and a victory for Gonzaga will add to that eleven's renown. DOUBLE GIFT AT CALIF.

Vera VARNELL WATCHES GAME FOR CHANGE STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Oct 31 — Stanford took on the Santa Clara University bronchoos here this afternoon. While Pop Warner's men looked for an easy win, no chances were being taken with the Missioniles whose ability for springing surprises has won them the respect of the larger institutions in this vicinity. An interesting feature in connection with the games was the fact that George Varnell, best known Pacific coast football official, was to see his first game in 14 years from the sidelines. Varnell is usually in the thick of the fray as reefor and will act in that capacity tomorrow at Berkeley. OREGON AGGIES TO MEET IDAHO SAT. CORVALLIS, Ore., Oct. 31 — Determined to win, the Oregon Aggies were ready this afternoon to meet the Univ. of Idaho eleven here on a soft, soggy gridiron, which was expected to help the Aggies, if anyone. Idaho's record is the more impressive of the two teams and the Vandal attack is more varied. But the fans believe that the Aggies, confident after holding Washington to a low score last Saturday, may win the contest. Both teams will likely go to Eugene tomorrow to see the Washington-Oregon game on Hayward field. War clouds which loomed yesterday when the first meeting was held between representatives of the two institutions had at least temporarily blown aside. The So. Calif. representative came north bearing the olive branch and at the meeting yesterday Stanford representatives poured oil on the waters which had been troubled by the eligibility whirlpool which threatened to ensulf several of the players on both teams. Dr.Campbell and Dr.Von Klein Smld expected to meet at the former's residence and in the quiet of the study lined with a astronomical works, work out the destiny of the questioned gridiron stars. While denial was made that the question of Roy Niewander's eligibility on the California squad had been raised, there were indications that the conference today would thresh out the whole issue and that the two university heads would lay down certain principles to be followed in such cases. A telegraphic vote of the Pacific coast conference was expected to settle the cases of Jones and Westcott, U.S.C. freshmen, and also of Ferroggiare, of the California frosh. L.L. Martin, U.S.C. freshman, was declared uneligible at yesterday's meeting. MANY GRID BETS LOS ANGELES, Oct. 31 — More than $100,000, it was reported today, has been wagered here on the outcome of tomorrow's clash between Univer, of Calif, and the Univ. of So. Calif, football teams at Berkeley. Slight odds have been given California backers; although a majority of the bets have been placed at even money. MUCH DAMAGE BY NORTHWEST STORMS PORTLAND, Oct. 31 — With the three-day storm apparently over the northwest today was checking up on damage which resulted in most every community of Oregon and Washington. The little lumber schooner Trinidad was still drifting somewhat helpless with a broken rudder about 50 miles off Coos Bay today, as far as the outside world knew. The schooner is without radio equipment and no word has come since the tanker Oleum reported Wednesday that the tug Douglas was going to her assistance. The storm center has apparently moved north to Vancouver, B.C., where a snowstorm was reported today. Salem, Ore., had 4.22 inches of rain in three days. Crater Lake Park is closed for the winter, with four feet of snow reported at the film. Telephone communication about the Coos Bay district was particularly cut off due to the severe original characters, brilliantly humorous distinction this plea credit is also due Prey for her splendidly screen play, which frees Glass's successiness Before Pleasure Alexander Carr, membered by theatre excellent characteris previous Potash and picture, and George eran stage star, he guilded cast of this title roles.

DOUBLE GIFT NITE AT CALIFORNIA Tonight is gift night at the California theatre and there will be just double the amount of gifts given away. Laughs, thrills, an occasional sob, and more laughs are the ingredients that make "In Hollywood with Potash and Perlmutter," now playing at the California theatre, one of the most entertaining and pleasing First National pictures of the year. In this second screen venture of the famous partners, Abe and Mawruss go into the motion picture business, and it is the complications that result from their attempts to produce a picture starring a vampire that produces the hilariously funny comedy situations. Of course the wives of the partners do not approve of the vamp idea, nor is the situation simplified when the bank refuses to extend more credit at a critical moment. The intense loyalty of one partner for another prompts Abe to take a wild automobile ride to save Mawruss, and Director Alfred E. Green has packed into this ride thrills galore. And every thrill ends in a laugh. Samuel Goldwyn, who produced "In Hollywood with Potash and Perlmutter," contributed materially to the success of his picture when he secured the services of Montague Glass, creator of the original characters, to write the brilliantly humorous titles which distinguish this picture. Much credit is also due Frances Marlon for her splendidly constructed screen play, which she adapted from Glass's successful play,"Business Before Pleasure." Alexander Carr, who will be remembered by theatre-goers for his excellent characterization in the previous Potash and Perlmutter picture, and George Sidney, veteran stage star, head the distinguished cast of this production in the title roles. Vera Gordon, who original characters, to write the brilliantly humorous titles which distinguish this picture. Much credit is also due Frances Marlon for her splendidly constructed screen play, which she adapted from Glass's successful play, "Business Before Pleasure." Alexander Carr, who will be remembered by theatre-goers for his excellent characterization in the previous Potash and Perlmutter picture, and George Sidney, veteran stage star, head the distinguished cast of this production in the title roles. Vera Gordon, who also played in the first screen venture of the partners, again plays "Rosie." Betty Blythe is the appealing vampire around whom the story centers and the cast includes Belle Bennett, Charles Merenttin, David Butler, Anders Randoff, Cyril Ring and Lillian Hackett. Jack Dempsey is another of those popular Fight and Win series, "The Town Hall Tonight," and International News complete the program. Tomorrow is the last day of our third anniversary week and so we have arranged to give every child attending the matinee tomorrow afternoon a big balloon. storm which swept that part of the Oregon coast yesterday. Trees were uprooted, windows shattered and power lines damaged in the fury of the gale. Streets of Raymond, Wash., were flooded by the storm and high tide and high water in Gray's Harbor caused the collapse of a large wooden relief tank of the Grays Harbor Gas Co. At Kelso fears were expressed for the safety of trestle bridges across the Cowlitz river at Castle STEEL LEADS MARKET RALLY NEW YORK, Oct. 31—The steel stocks were the leaders in a vigorous and decisive rally in prices in the stock market today, the rails and oils were generally reflected in the scramble for speculative shares which sent prices of many stocks to the highest level for the movement. But occasional spurts in isolated sections of these stocks showed that speculative enthusiasm could not be confined to the industrial leaders. While market activity was largely due to professional operations, both the covering of short stocks and buying for the long account, it showed the renewal of confidence in the industrial and business situation in so far as the results of the election are concerned. Industrial reports continue to be as favorable as could be expected. Money market developments on the last day of the month showed conclusively the abundance of loanable funds in the banking institutions. U. S. Steel, at the head of the steel stocks, was the leader in a sharp rally in prices which seemed to ignore the unfavorable earnings report published earlier in the week. At 109½% the stock was up 1% for the day and more than two points from yesterday's low. From yesterday's low independent steel stocks made the best showing of the week to date with moderate recoveries in the stocks which have been under selling pressure of late. Mexican Seaboards drop to 21% down two points, and the comparatively poor earnings record of some companies for the third quarter was a handicap to the oil stocks. Mexican Seaboard declined on reports that wells number 75 and 99 in Cacallion were showing salt water where heretofore 500,000 barrels of crude oil had been extracted. The comparative unprofitableness of the third quarter was seen in the report of Simms Petroleum, which earned only 22 cents a share in that period against $2.47 in the first six months. MARSHALL FENG FORMS CABINET PEKING, Oct. 31—(11 p.m.)—Marshal Peng Yun Stang tonight gave sanction to an emergency cabinet which was promulgated by presidential mandate. Five of the 10 cabinet posts were divided between Huang Fu and C. T. Wang. Huang becomes premier and acts concurrently as minister of communication and minister of education. Wang will serve as minister of foreign affairs and at the same time hold the portfolio of minister of finance. These two civil leaders have manipulated the political side of the military comp of Fung through which Wu Pei Fu was ousted from power and apparently will control the civil government of the new regime while Fung takes over the fighting. anges: Southern large and medium forests $7.25; 200s and $6.25; market window $4.50.
