BYRD. 1 PINIONS regarding night O foot ball are almost as varied as tkhe number of individuals expressing thém. Some players like it, others don’t; some spectators feel it adds luster to the game others that it detracts; coaches in general are not, very favorable to it. However, there are some factors that in- dicate night games are worth- while and other factors that tend to lessen their impertance under the floodlights. In other words, there are two sides to the question. Night foot ball has lately come into being largely through propaganda car- ried on by manufacturers of floodlights. These manufacturers have aggressively campaigned among the colleges to get night foot ball tried out, largely to sell their lighting systems. The manufac- turers have gone on the sales theory that first you must create the desire, then sell: Almost the sole plea put up is on the basis of greater financial revenue. And in many cases there is Pht revenue from such games than they were played in the afternoon. Aside from the fact that greater gevenue' is derived in some cases from games, there is really only one might not be available. ‘Fans Differ in Opinions.

O8 ANGELES, October 16.—The: par-rending play of Helen Hicks of Inwood, N. Y., feature of the first three days in the women’s national golf tournament, today car- ried her into the quarter-finals to meet Mrs. Leona Pressler, runner-up to the 1929 title holder. The momentum of the 19-year-old New York girl's self-made game sent her over the most difficult course ever used in the 34 years of the classic yes- terday at a dazsling pace, Which brought defeat to Barbara Lee, Oak- land, Calif., 8 and 7. She was 6 strokes under women's part for the 11 holes. Miss Hicks had a 36 on the strenuous out nine, 1 under perfect score for men and 3 under women’s par. To make her game more impressive she took & birdie on the tenth, her fourth birdie of the round, and won the match with an eagle 2 after driving her tee s shot 223 yards, 3 feet frem the pin.

Mrs. Opal S.

The only other former champlon, out- side of the defender, Glenna Collett, was also thrust aside by one of the younger contenders when Virginla Van Wie defeated Marion Hollins, Santa Cruz, Calif,, 3 and 2.

MacCartee and Bob Lynch also turned in some good gains. This part of the practice lasted about 20 minutes.

HICAGO, October 18.—They're singing that famous old battle song, “On, Wisconsin!” with renewed spirit and hope on the Badger campus this Fall. After years of disappointment the Badgers believe they have one of the prize elevens of the 1930 foot ball wars. And what's more, they expect to prove it conclusively ~Saturday when the haughty Quakers from Pennsylvania invade the Badger lair at Camp Ran- dall for one of the outstanding inter- sectional games of the season. Only a week sgo foot ball enthusi- asm was at & low ebb at Wisconsin be- cause of injurles and the apparent lack of material. n came the crushing 34-to-0 Badger triumph over Chicago and the players, students and skeptical alumnl became Wisconsin foot ball fans again. Ticket sales for the Quaker-Badger game took a huge jump forward and today indications were that a record honme-coming crowd would watch the battle. If former tactics of the two teams mean anything, the ozone over Camp | Randall will be filled with foot balls during the game. Each team has a sterling forward pass attack and plans to use it, although each eleven has a set of fleet rynners and hard-driving backs for immediate employment. ‘The Quakers, who have rolled up 103 points to 6 in two games, will enter the game slight levunm, with emphasis on_the “slight.” Tllinois” of stopping_North- western’s march toward the Big Ten championship rose today when it was revealed that Capt.

THE KANGARCOS SOME REAL SPEEO Wisconsin Adherents Jubilant Over Badgers’ Return to Glory In spite of iliness and injuries, hopes were high for victory in Northwestern's camp today. Coach Dick Hanley was satisfied with his line-up despite the many inroads, and expected to defeat the Iilini. Meanwhile, Michigan and Ohio State framed some new plays to fool each other in their fight at Columbus. Both teams may flash a forward pass attack early, although Ohio State’s aerial at- tack depecnds much on the condition of Wesley Fesler, star Buckeye end, who has a sore wrist. Coach Sam Will n last night' said Fesler would play at least some of the game. Seventy-two thcusand spectators are expected to watch the game, and temporary bleach- ers have been erected. Reasonably certain of victory against Indiana, Coach Fritz Crisler of Minne- sota is drilling his sophomore hopefuls and threatens to give them a lot of chr;:mm to display their talents Sat- urday. Florida may expect to see Coach Amos Alonzo Stagg's famous flanker plays when it invades S Field Sat- urday.

FULLERTON, JR., Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, October 16.—The meeting of a foot ball team and a foot ball squad, which often appears in early season games, is due to crop up again in one of this week’s major Eastern tlashes. Columbia admittedly has a fine first eleven, but the group of 34 players Lou Little will take to Hanover to meet Dartmouth comprises virtually his en- tire squad. Dartmouth also has a good first team, and has a number of good reserves as well. The problem is much the same as last year, when Dartmouth plastered a 34-to-0 defeat on Columbia; but this season hopes on the strength of the Cojumbia regulars are for a very. much closer score. Reserves, also may turn the tide in another important battle—that between Yale also has had & few setbacks in its Apn tions for a clash with Brown. Yale s lost two men—McLennan, quarterback, and Lindenberg, end—but Fullback Muhifeld has returned to his place. The Brown men are in good condition and hopeful for an upset.

So close was the struggle between the two for the batting crown that a rush order was filed with the league statis- ticians by the American League, and the results placed Simmons’ average at .381 and Gehrig’s at .379.

EAST NEW STUFF 70 PRAIRIE LADS: Colonials’ Colorful Foes Had Trying Experience After Last Tilt. BY R. D. THOMAS. WENTY-FIVE bronzed youths I from the wind-swept prai- ries of South Dakota are speeding to Washington to- day with hearts afire for conquest in a strange land. Tomorrew night they will battle George Washington's Colonials | at Griffith Stadium. We have it from Billy South- worth, who writes in flowln phrases, that to many of the foo! ball warriors who wear the bril- liant crimson of South Dakota University this trip East is com- parable to a visit to a foreign country. Southworth, the Coyote press agent, terms Vermillion, S. Dak, whence conles the valiant band, “an outpost of civilization.” “For Washington foot ball fans,” says he, “this pack of South Dakota Coyotes has much to offer. They play foot ball, give no quarter and ask none. They have been hardened to a life which at times is far more trying than that of the gridiron.” / A howling wind swept across the prairie from the upper reaches of the Mi River when the boys boarded & bus that was to take them many miles to the nearest rallroad. And, says Southworth: “It was a howling mob of students that swarmed about the rugged con- veyance, biddnig their warriors au revoir. These students await with eager and expectant hearts the outcome of rmm the most colorful game ever to e;tllyed by a team from their uni- vert . Little Time to Prepare. Coyotes had only two days sur- cease between the time they met North Dakota State under trying conditions and the time they left Vermillion for ‘Washington. A tale of hardship was brought back by the Coyoies from the Northern ex- panses of North Dakota. Their bus ran off the road and into extreme difficulty, and it was a herculean task for the tired squad to get it back on the high- way. tion in that ck, thrust himself into the lime- light.
