At his heels followed the hub bub of charges, denlals, and speculation rogarding his future that has brought thousands of words into print and insomnia to his admirers. Grange's latest reply to stories that had his playlng professional football, in the movies or selling his name as advertising was vehement. “They have nothing on me. I have not received a penny. I have not signed a contract. I am getting sick and tired of these constant ru- mors about my signing contracts to do this and the other.” Accept His Word His word was accepted by those who could make him ineligible for the game, from President Kinley of the Unlversity of Tllinois to Major John L. Griffith, athletic commis- | sloner of the “Big Ten."” But his statement did not satisty t§e story mongers. There came & statement from E. P. Albertsen of Kokomo, Ind. that he had seen Grange's slgnature on a contract with C. C. Pyle, Champaign, Ik, theater manager, making Pyle Grange's manager. Tn a sworn ement, Albertsen sald the contract read that Grange was to get 45 per cent of all In- comes on schemes using his name, the remainder to be divided between Pyle and Dinty Moore, a former the- atrical man at Champaign. Albertsen sald that Grange and Pyle had entered into an agreement for the star to weite syndicated news stories, the deal calling for a $1,000 | cash payment and $100 for each story. He also swore that Grange's name had bfen sold to a rowboat detachable motor company and a frm manufacturing sweaters. But Calvin Barth, an Indianapolis motion plcture representative, and Roy V. Crawford, a Kokomo news- paper man, whom Albertsen said had seen Grange's contract, denfed it TRIPLE TIE STANDS But This Three Cornered Mixup in New England Conference May Be Broken Tomorrow.

A member of a survey party, sent out by the government, of British Co- lumbia to do sub-division work three hundred miles from civilization writes: *““The chief of our party with rare foresight ' rought along as a part of our first aid sapply a bottle of Sloan’s Liniment. And through weeks of ex- sure and hardship we found it our est help for prains, bruises, stiff musecles and rheumatism." Sloan’s gives real relief because it doesn’t just deaden the pain. It h your body to throw off the cause. Just a little Sloan's patted on light~ ly—and a healing tide of fresh new blood is sent right to the p]nm that hurts. The aching and stiffness are helped right away.

The local team will present its tull lineup in the game although one or two of the players who are suffering from slight injuries re- celved in the game between New Britain and Mulligan's Blues, will get into the fray only if it is found necessary to use them. Humphries, stalwart guard of the | team, has an injury to his elbow | which will keep him out of the line Sunday. Dr, A. J. Bavard, club physiclan, plans to X-ray the in- jury today to see if there are any | broken bones in it and he has ad- | | vised that Humphries be given a rest Sunday. This will give Tomdiy Dully a chance to show his stuff. Barnikow will also be used only in case of necessity Sunday. He re- celved a sprained ankle in the Hartford game and although the fnjured member has responded to treatment, no chances will be taken with him. “Big Bill' Warner, Thompgon | and Connors will be in the lineup | and this will give the fans of the city an opportunity to judge the team as it appear against Mulli- gan's eleven on Sunday, November 29. | ing here with a highly touted line- up of former college stars.
