Football team, an- nounced today that he has decided to retire from football, As he stated himeelf, “I am hanging up my suit for good. My knes injury ssems to prevent me from finishing any game in which I start, so I have come to the conclusion that I will be better off by not playing any longer.” It Zehrer is-determined in his de- cision, there passes from the pic- ture one of the most colorful play- erw in professional ranks in this city.

American Bathing Suit Popular With Czechs Washington, Oct. 13 UP—Ameri- oan wool bathing suits, recently in- troduced in Caschoslovakia are fimd- ing a wide sale, Elbert Baldwin, United States commercial attache at Prague, informs the department of commerce. Czechoslovakia has a highly de- veloped knit goods industry which supplies by far the greater part of the demestic demand and makes ex- tensive exports to foreign markets, Mr. Baldwin says. Most of the im- ported goods, such as bathing suits, are sold on a quality hull or as a specialty. o NEARS JOURNEY'S END Only 15,000 Miles Left om Anto Tour. .

Grest Crowd fo Wawh Notre Dame and Navy in Action Chicago, Oct. 13 M—Two trojan elevens, Notre Dame and Navy were ready today to match speed and brawp in the arena of massive Bol- dier Fleld, It was expected that 180,000 persons would witness the stryggle. , Other gridiron classics there have been, but from the standpoint of at- celebration, color and romance, this duel betwebn two fighting teams that already have been beaten promise to be the great- est spectacle of them al For Chicago, which ulso has the important Iowa-Chicago ' and Ohio State-Northwestern games on its program, it was by far the red let- ter day in football history. More -~ |than 200,000 spectators were ex- pected to watch the three games, and the city seethed with activity, Streets were jammed and thousands of police struggled to keep the tre- mendous traffic moving. The glamour of the spectacle at Soldier Fiéld, which attructed scores of celebrities, all but drawfed the outcome of the confest between Knute Rockne’s ramblers and “Navy Bill” Ingram’s midshipmen. Among the box holders were Vice President Charles G. Dawes, Becretary of the Navy Curtis D. Wilbur, other high naval officlals, and many movie stars, Including Gloria 8wanson, Lew Cody, Norma S8hearer and Molly O'Neil, & dyed in the wool Notre Dame rooter. On the sidelines room was made for baseball's two behe- moths of swat, Babe Ruth and Lou The Babe is a Notre Damne rooter, Lou 8ix bands among them those from the Naval Academy at Annapolis and from Notre Dame, were ready to blare; Navy's goat, too, was on the scene, ‘With a fleet backfield and a com- paratively weak line, Knute Rockne's men depended on speed. Navy, with its heavier line, depended on brawn, Coaches of both teams indicated plenty of kicking and enough for- ward passing to keep the great § [throng on edge.

PAWNEES WILL BATTLE OXFORDS OF NEW LONDON Local Foothall Team to Invade Whaling City in Quest of Second Gridiron Victory, The Pawnee football team goes to New London tomerrow to tackle the Oxford eleven of that city. Fresh after its victory over Middle- town last week, the Pawnees are anxious to make it two in a row. The two new finds, Baldesarl in the line and Miske at haltback, have strengthened the team greatly. Miske especlally played a whale of a game in Middletown and showed himself to be a fine plunging back. F. Quarti, one of the mainstays of the team, who sustained an in- jury to his knee in the first game of the year against the Clover- leaves, {5 reported to be in good shape and much is expected of him in broken field running.

He sald hehazarded the guess that ‘his republican opponent had government ownership and govern- ment control in his mind when he said: “Violations of public interest by individuals or corporations should be followed by the condemnation and punishment they deserve, but this should not induce us to abandon progressive principles and substitute in their place deadly and destruc- tive doctrines.” “He could not be thinking about anything else,” the governor contin- ued, “because it (government con- trol and obwnership) links in with the necessity of the government go- ing into business for a by-product, while electric energy at Muacle Shoals is the real product.” For Govt. Owanership The governor then reaffirmed the government ownership and control stand he took in his Denver speech, declaring the agency, whether state or federal, should “not only own the site but should own and build and operate the power house” of water- power projects. “It is the only way that you can Ruarantee equitable distribution of the power and fair and reasondble prices priced to the ultimate con- sumer, and this is because of the government’s power to contract.” Frequently interrupted by cheers of “Tell 'em AL" “Give it to ‘em Al", the New York executive brought perhaps his greatest applause pear the end of his speech when, in dii cussing prohibition, he repeated his acceptance speech pledge that |If elected he would abide by the oath to “sustain the constitution and laws enacted under it" to the ‘“deadly limit." Quoting Mr. Hoover as saying that the 18th amendment was “intended to protect the American home." the governor said: “I hope he does not mun by that anybody not in sympathy with it is against the American home. That is a pretty hard thing for anybody to say. I have as much interest in the American home as any man in ~ righta. America today. 1 have maintained it in & mansion supplied to me by the people of the state of New York for eight solid years.” As he turned to three of his four married children on the platform, the governor broyght applause when he added “Incidentally, I am respon- sible for about four more starting up.” @Governor Smith said: Mr. Hoover “admits abuse” in connection with prohibition enforcement, but offers no cure. The nominee drew loud applause soon afterward when he said: “I for one believe that it can be cured and made ntinitely better by applying to it the good old Jefferson- fan democratic theory of states It makes no difference what the people of one section of the country may think about it. It is go- ing to be imposible, as well nigh im- possible of enforcement, in states where the great and overpowering majority of the sentiment of the people 1z in oppesition to it.” Explains Nashville Speech Explaining his speech in Nash- ville, 8mith said he was suppesed to paas through the state, do plenty handshaking wave the brown derby, and greet the citizenship generally, but believed it would be a difticult thing for a democratic candidate to be In the state that gave to the na- tion the great Andrew Jackson and not have anything to may. The governor referring to Senator Curtis said the republican vice presidentis candidate knew very well that “there can be no equality betweea agriculture and industry until the tariff is mnde to work for agriculture.” Mr. Hoover was quoted as saying in his Tennessee speech that his party had “put forward a far-réfch- ing and apecific proposal for the re- lief of the farmer.” “I cannot find it,” the governor said. “It certainly was not in his speech and it is not in the platform because the platform is four years old on that subject.” He added that “I am unable to find any comfort in the platform, or in the speech of acceptance for the farmer, or trLe cotton grower or the tobacco grow- er.” As for {mmigration, Governor Bmith said there was no reason for Mr. Hoover saying in Tennessee that he did not faver an increase in im- migration, because the demoerats Told the same view. Mr. Hoover's immigration state- ment, the governor said, ‘“smacked a little bit too much of the oldtime legal practice that they used to tell about, when the lawyer wanted to Ret the witneas in bay by saying ‘When did you stop beating your wite'?"

Doult E Toronto, Ont., Oct. 13 M — The parents and sister of Lieut. Harry Devim of the 75th Battalion, C. E. F.,, missing after an action at Dicke- busch, Belgium, in 1916, today ex- pressed doubt that the man found injured along the roadside at Pue- blo, Colo., is their son and brother. Descriptions wired from Pucblo to Toronto said the injured man was “short, face covered with holes, one prominent on chin.” Members of the family said the missing sol- dier-newspaperman was six feet tall and in 1916 was without any facial blemishes. Further doubt as to the identity of the man developed today when Miss Lou Devlin, sister of the miss- ing man, talked over the telephone with the man in Pueblo. Vaice Was Changed “His voice could never chnnne to that extent,” Miss Devlin said after the conversation. 8he sald she asked the man in Pueblo a number of questions bearing on associations of 12 years ago. To many of these his replies were vague, and he attempt- ed no answer to others. Miss Devlin, however, believes that the man at Pueblo may be a distant relative of the family as he appeared quite familiar with sev- eral of her relatives and with their place of residence.

Illinois leaders urge an address at the coliseum in Chicago, while those fn Wisconsin want the mominee to speak in Milwaukee and the western managers generally favor an ad- dress at Minneapolis in the heart cf the northwestern wheat belt. Of course, Hoover will not have tim~ to comply with all of the demands for speeches that are being made upon him and there is no indication that he has changed his mind about limiting himself to one major speech during the transcontinental ride, that to be delivered at t. Louis or Minneapolis. ‘With the shifting of the dates for his final two eastern appearances at Boston and New York he has found himself rushed in preparing his ad- dresses in those pjaces and since he is to make a final appeal to the vot- ers over the radio from his Cali fornia home on election eve he would be obliged to spend a greater portion of his time from this on writing speeches, Bince Hoover himself is actively directing the campalign, he feels that he should have considerable time free for this work during the last ten days before election as that will be the time when eareful direction and intensive energy will be re- quired.
