vious years, Is expected by sup
porters to make an Improved show

of Washington, D. C., hero Satur
day afternoon In the first Inter
sections! game ever played by the
Purple Hurricane. Coach Laval will
experiment with a changed line-up
Saturday In order to itrlow a de
served rest for some of tho war
riors whose cnpoclty was taxed In
the series of three games in eight
days. Speculation favors the in
vaders t owin, but as both Furman

the team Is also minus the services
of Planksky, 196-pound triple threat

Strong Tech High Team
Beats Musketeers, 35-0
BY WILL RILEY
Coach Carson's stout-hearted
Musketeers fell before the powerful
offense of the eleven from Tech
High here Friday afternoon In a
heart-breaking contest, 35 to 0.
Tho boys from Atlanta played the
Academy warriors off their feet
In the first half, scoring four
touchdowns and Thomason kicking
goal from placement eacbv time for
the extra points, the flfm coming
in the last quarter, with Rosen
blatt's too sending the oval through
the posts to make the count 35.
The outstanding stars of the
game for Tech High boys were
"Htumpy” Thomason and Bob Ran
dolph, but the entire team played
a stellar game. Thomason is a
first-cousin of the great Thomason
of the University of Georgia, whose
work featured the Georgia-Furman
game here two weeks ago. It was
Thomason who carried the ball on
a brilliant run around right end for
a touchdown in the first few mo
ments of play from Tech High’s
twenty yard line, In which feat he
accomplished a bit of the best
broken field running ever witnessed
on the local grid. BUle-stepping
and stiff-arming his way down the
field, falling to his knees twice, he
went through and around the per
sistent Richmond taeklers to A. R.
C.'s twenty yard line, from which
point he had a clear field to the
goal line. Even though this run
went against Richmond, It gave tho
fans a thrill such ns Is seldom re
ceived from a prop-school game.
Thomason also kicked four succes
sive goals from placement before
he was taken out of the game qn
account of Injuries. Randolph mad e
the last four touchdowns.
RICHMOND BOYS
DO THEIR BEST
For Richmond. Teet Oillman,
Powell and Hunter were the back
field stars. These boys did their
best for old Richmond, but they
met a foe more than worthy of the
name and the scoring started too
early in the game for the morale of
the team. The touchdown In the
first quarter by Thomason seemed
to take the starch out of the Mus
keteers for the balance of the first
hmalf. At the opening of the se
cond half Richmond showed her old
fight, the boys coming back with
some whirlwind tactics that hid
fair to produce some scoring, hut
whenever they began to edge any
thing like dangerously near Tech
High's goal, the team from At
lanta presented the stone wall to
the cadets and refused to give
further ground. In several In
stances Richmond tried to make
some ground by the aerial route,
but every time It seemed that one
of the Tech High crowd was right
certainty to win the Big Ten tile. If
Grangn Isn’t Injured.
Coach Bob Zuppke of Illinois Is
one of the few who Isn’t taking seri
ously all the nice things being said
about himself nnd his team,
"A team that must still beat Chica
go. lowa, Minnesota and Ohio State
is a long way from having the cham
pionship cinched Any one of those
four teams Is strong enough to upset
the dope.
“It Is football precedent that Ohio
State always plays its best game
against us. For that reason we al
ways fear teams coached by Wilce.
"Last season we had a great team,
yet were only able to win from Ohio
State by the scant margin of 9 to 0.
despite the fact that Michigan and
Chicago had beaten the same team
23 to 0 and IT to 0.”
GOLF LORDS
SPUN NEW
U. S. SPHERE
BOSTON.—The U. S. G. A. of
ficials are embarrassed. Two years
ago officials of the Royal and' An
cient Golf Club of St Andrews,
Scotland, supreme court of golf,
complained that the golf hall In
use in America was too lively, and
suggested a curtailment.
A get-together pow-pow was held
with golf authorities from both
sides of the Atlantic attending and
it was tacitly decided that a lighter
and larged golf ball should be
adopted aa the universal playing
sphere. A committee of Americans
was appointed to consult with
manufacturers and develop a hall
with reduced flying power.
Meanwhile the great mass of
players In this country—the duf
fers—were puzzled They found
the far-flying ball much to their
liking. What did they care If the
Hagen* and the Outmets were able
to make courses look easy with
the lively ball, they were still strug
gling to get under 100.
Well, In due time the .Vmerlcau
committeemen finally decided on a
ball to their liking. Five or six of
them played with it and were satis
fied The five or six million duf
fers would either have to like it or
leave It
A report of their findings was
cabled to the august lords across
the sea. And then came nn acute
shock. The bass was too light. Yes
really, the Scots and the Britons
could never play with It. Another
pattern, they advised, heavier but
not too active, must be produced.
That low rumbling guffaw you
bear in the distance, we suspect,

on hand to break It up, though Gill
man executed some beautiful long
passes.
CAPTAIN PUND
DOES GOOD WORK
Capt. Peter Pund, in the game
for the first time In several weeks,
shone brilliantly in his play at cen
ter in breaking through the Tech
line, gumming up dangerous plays
and throwing ttfe backs on numer
ous occasions for losses. Captain
Pund went in as a sub for Owens
In the second quarter and his
words of cheer and urge were heard
to ring above the calling of the
signals and Richmond's line held
stubbornly. True, Tech put over
their fourth touchdown after Pund
went In, but It was near the goal
and desperate line plunging, fought
hard by the Musketeers, was ne
cessary to put it over. Pund Is a
good man and his presence back in
the line-up is going to help the
team wonderfully.
Hunter is another brillant little
player, as is also Powell, the speed
Demon. Both of these fellows did
some beautiful work against Tech
High. Teet Glllman's generalship
in the last half was fine, but Rich
mond's rally came too late to keep
off a staving defeat, after Tech
High had piled up 28 points.
Just the sound of the score gives
the Impression of an Ignominious
beat, but the fans who went en
joyed themselves and do not feel
that Richmond’s glory is lessened
by Tech High’s victory.

BEGIN HERE TODAY.
Douglas Raynor is found shot
through the body in the early
evening on the floor of the sun
room of Flower Acres, his Long
Island home. Standing over
| the dead man, pistol in hand,
is Malcolm Finley, former
sweetheart of Raynor’s wife,
Nancy. Eva Turner, Raynor's
nurse, stands by the light
switch. In a moment Nancy
appears, white-faced and terri
fied. Orville Kent, Nancy's
brother, comes in from the
south side of the -room. And
then Ezra Goddard, friend of
Finley; Miss Mattie, Raynor’s
sister, and others, enter upon
the scene. Detective Dobbins
heads the police investigation.
An autopsy reveals that Ray
nor also was being systemitacil
ly poisoned with arsenic. De
tective Dobbins tells Nancy that
he received a package contain
ing bottles of morphine which
she threw away. Nancy tells
him she found the morphine
among her husband’s belong
! ings.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY.
' “A likely story!” the detective
scoffed. “That won’t go down, Mrs.
Raynor. You found the stuff among
his tilings after you had put it
there. Now, as I see It, you not only
gave your husband poison tablets
but you are yourself a morphine
addict—”
• “Oh, stop" Nan cried, goaded be
yond endurance, "I didn't take the
stuff—he did!"
“Your husband took drugs?”
“Yes; I will tell you, but don’t
let It become public—don't let Miss
Raynor know —my husband was a
secret indulgent in morphine—and
tho tablets I put In his teacup or
coffe cup were—were to cure him of
tho habit.
“Oh, Nan, was that it" Finley’s
eyas gleamed with a gmd relief at
this explanation of the tablets.
Hut Dobbins shook his head.
"Ingenious, Mrs. Raynor, positive
ly a master-stroke! But it won't
wash. The late Mr. Raynor showed
no Bymptoins of being a drug ad
dict, there were no traces of mor
phine found at the autopsy—and
I’m afraid I must see this story
down as an invention of your clev
er brain. I'd be glad to think you
had such a plausible excuse for the
tablets, but I can’t see It. How
ever, I’ll put It up to the doctors.
They'll know for certain whether
your explanation can possibly be a
true one—”
“Very well,” Nancy Raynor drew
herself up in scornful dignity, “go
and ask the doctors«-as a detective
It is your right—but as a man, I ask
you not to divulge tho fact of my
husband’s weakness, unless abso
lutely necessary. I want to save
his name from that stigma—if I
can —”
“That stigma will never rest on
the name of Douglas Raynor," and
Dobbins’ look signified anew his
disbelief in the whole story.
Ho went away, and Nan, turning
to Finley, said:
"I think It would be wise for you
to go away, Malcolm. I have all I
can bear wiith these horrible scenes,
and to have you near me—and yet
not able to let myself go.”
"Keep your head, now. Nan—don’t
get hysterical. I know you’ve
enough to make you so—but don't.
Tell me about the morphine, dear.”
“There’s nothing to tell, except
what I said. Di/Jglas did take It
on the sky, and so I—"
“Wait a minute, Nancy—tell me
this: Why did you marry Raynor?”
"I had to—oh, Mai, there were
terrible, dreadful reasons not rea
sons of my own but affecting
others—l can't tell you—but there
was no way out.”
“I wish you could confide In me,
dearest. Don’t you know that from
now on. I'm your protector, guar
dian. guide? Don't you know that
I'm always back of you. like a rock
—a stronghold. Won’t you realize
this —"
"But you can't—you musn't talk
like that.”
"Oh, vyhat dre the conventions be
tween us? Y'ou never loved Ray
nor. did you? And you do love
me?”
The briefest glance of the beau
tiful, sad eyes gave Finley his an
swer.
And, then, before either could
speak again, Dolly Fay came run
ning toward the arbor.
“Oh, Nan," she cried —and, seeing
_ "I FOUND THE WILL For. YOU—MR. RAYNORS YVILL THAT
leay es the money to you.”
Finley, she added, “shall I speak
| right out before the Prince?”
“Yes,” said Nan, smiling a little,
“speak out, Dolly; what is it?”
“Why, I found the will for you.”
“The will?”
“Yes: Mr. Raynor’s will that
leaves the money to you—you
know.”
“Crazy child, what do you mean?"
“Don't you call me a crazy child
—look at that!"
Dolly produced a much foldede
paper.
; “A will doesn’t look like this,
dear —a will Is an important look
ing document."
But Nan unfolded the'flimsy yeel
low paper, and as she read it her
face changed.
“Malcolm.,” se said, “this Is a
copy of the will!”
And It was. Evidently a carbon
copy made at the same time the
will was typed, and of course identt
ical in wording.
Finley toook it and perused It In
tently.
'“•That's what Is is, Nan. Where
did you get It, Dolly?”
“Oho —I'm not such a crazy chiild
after all—am I? Well, I’ll tell you.”
Bhe gave a detailed account of
her finding the will In Gannon’s
house.
“You see,” Finley said to Nan,
“this is merely a copy, and it is
neither signed nor witnessed.
Therefore it is of no value as a
will, but it is of great value as a
proof that a will in your favor was
drawn.”
“Oh, I know It was —I saw It,’
Nan said.
“This proves ot,” Finley went on. j
“You’ve done a great thing for Mrs.
Raynor, Dolly. And I think. Nan,
you should get this copy into tho
hands of your lawyer just as soon
as possible. There’s tricky work
going on —and from Dolly’s story,
I begin to think Lionel Raynor and
old Gannon are pals—”
"Oh, no,” Dolly cried; they’re
mad as hops at each other!”
"That doesn't deny their being
in league against your intertsts,
Nan.”
"But Grimshaw Gannon was
Douglas’ friend—they were espec
ially cronies—l often wondered at
it. I thought sometimes it irked
Douglas, but he always treated
Gannon with utmost courtesy, even
deference.”
“Perhaps Gannon had a hold on
him—”
Nan’s eyes widened. I never
thought of that before! Do you
know, Mai, I believe it's the truth,
though! As I look back, I can see
how Douglas often submitted to
Gannon's presence, or to his wishes,
against his own will.”
"I think I’ll quiz the old man.
He is shrewd, but he may let out
something inadvertently. Nancy,
you go with that paper to Stratton
at once. Don’t take it to Dobbins—
go right to the lawyer. Take Dolly
with you and tell him the whole
story. I'm going to see Gannon.”
On his way to Gannon's house,
Finley was joined by Ezra God
dard, and they went together.
“You're in an anomalous position,
Malcolm,” Goddard said, seriously:
“you’re more than half suspected
of that shooting, you know —and
yet you don't deny it point-blank.”
“They can't prove It on me,'
Finley spoke definitely. “Why
worry?”
“Don't be flippant. Sometimes I
think you really did do it—”
“Thank you.” D ....
“Don’t be silly! If you did, Ira
not sure I'd blame you much. That
woman was going through hell with
that man!' He ought to have been
shot. On the other hand, If she shot
him, you're holding off to shield her
—when necessary—”
v"Why, Goddard, you ought to be
a detective! A scientific one! How
you do discern things! I'm amaz
ed at your perscpicuity! But never
mind the murder for the moment —
listen to this complication about
the will.”
Finley told him the whole story
said:
“Now, if Gannon and young Ray
nor are in cahoots, we must find It
out; and if they’re not —then we
must learn all we can from Gan
non."
They found Gannon on his porch
as usual.
“Whatya wane?” he growled as
they approached.
"YVe want to know shout the
Raynor will," Goddard said, stern
ly, “and we want tho truth. YVe
have the carbon copy and we want
the original. Where is it?"
“Donno, gentlemen: you're bark
in' up the wrong tree."
"No, we're not, said Finley, de-
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER li
cidedly. “You know where thaht will
is—and youd better produce It!”
“Now, now, Mr. Finley,” the old
man removed his pipe from his
mouth as he glowered at the
speaker, "it don’t become you—the
suspected murderer lover of Mrs.
Raynor, to come around here with
such talk! You ain’t in no position
to threaten me—you’d better lay
low, if you know what's good for
yourself.”
“Grimshawe Gannon, you’re an
old man—or I’d knock you down for
that speech! Moreover, If you',
ever mention that lady’s name ex
cept in terms of utmost and
reverence, I’ll deal with you ac
cordingly. Your accusation :igainst
myself bother me not at all—but,
remember what I have said! Now I
know ypu for a fraud and a rascal.
I know you witnessed that will for
Mr. Raynor, and I also know that
it is in your possession. Produce
it, or I’ll have you arrested for
fraud and deceit.”
"My good land!” From a compla
cent, bullying old man, Gannon
changed to a crtnglng, frightened
coward. “What do you mean, Mr.
Finley? I dont know anything
about the will.”

Bend Today

conqueror of Perm State and ranked
as one of the South’s leading gridiron

tivities with scores of other visitors
present to see the two highly touted

Alexa May Start
Anew In Florida
* ATLANTA.—AIexa Stirling may
play her first competitive golf In
a year In Florida this winter.
The former three-time champion
of America was unable to play In
the National this year on account
of illness. It was the first ono she
missed in years. In 1923 she was
runner up to Edith Cummings.
A number of the best women
golfers in the country are expected
to assemble In Florida this winter,
including Mrs. Dorcthy Campbell
Hurd, new champion.
The men’s amateur and the open
championships in the South during
tho winter have always seen many
of the top-notch performers In ac
tion, but the women have never
been able to assemble a big or rep
resentative field.
Heretofore Glenna Collett former
champion, had rather dominated
matters in Florida. It may be dif
ferent this year If Mrs. Hurd, Miss
Stirling. Miss Cummings nnd some
of theother ranking stars carry out
their promise to enter the tourna
ments.
Last year California drew a num
ber of the women stars and the
battles between Miss Cummings
and Marlon Hollins, not to neglect
Mary X. Browne were replete with!
dizzy thrills.
FUMBLES COSTLY
Fumbling in football usually
proves as costly as the proverbial
base on balls In the national past
tim£. A touchdown or a ncore 1*
the usual result. Two fumbles by
Dartmouth paved the wav for two
Tit: touchdowns and prevented a
win for the Green team.
