Both Sides of Main Street By W. W. W. A highlight of the 1902 football dcason for the entire Middlcwcst was Northwestern University's defeat by Knox College by the 9core of 15 to 0. The game was played Saturday afternoon, Oct.

25, 1902, on Sheppard Field in Evanslon. It was a battle from start to finish and rough tactics were used by both sides; at least Knox used roughness, so the Chicago papers said. Their editors could hardly realize that little Knox College could defeat mighty Northwestern. France, one of Knox's biggest players, was removed from the game early in the second half for striking a Northwestern player, who, France claimed, struck him first, but for some unknown reason to the Knox boys, the umpire removed France and left the Northwestern player in. was first scheduled to be played at the Westside Ball Park, but Coach Hollistcr of Northwestern had it transferred to Sheppard Field which was in a very poor condition.

Rough Playing Charged The alleged rough playing on the part of Knox was more than overbalanced, however, by the action of Coach Hollister and the rooters on the sidelines. In the second half the rooters on the sidelines were allowed to run out on the field, which hindered many of the Knox plays; and when Coach McLean of Knox, desirous of keeping the Knox team in good shape for the Kansas game the next Wednesday, asked for short halves, Hollister demanded full halves of 35 minutes each. It became so dark that the players could not be told apart and'the rooters had to hold to their friends to keep from losing one another. The game did not get started until 3:15 o'clock because the home team was late in coming onto the field. France Taken Out of Game Oonly once did it look like Knox was going into a slump and allow Northwestern to go over the line, just after France had been removed from the game.

Northwestern had carried the ball to within 16 yards of Knox's goal line when Knox took a brace and regained the ball. Zalusky, catching a punt, by zigzags and jumping, by following his interference and the path blazed by Hopkins, made a spectacular run of 100 yards for a touchdown. The first touchdown was made near the end of the first half when Hopkins got the ball and went around the end for a 30- yard run to cross the line. The third and last touchdown with only minutes to play was an 85-yard run by Akerson. The game was finished in darkness.

Used Fifteen Players Knox used 15 players: Howell, Martin, rg; France, Korn and Whitmore, lg; Ewing (capt.) rt; Slattery, It; Wilson, re; H. Ewing and, Montgomery, le; Prince and Zalusky, In; Hopkins, rh; Grogan, qb and Akerson fb. While the game was on In Evanston football temperatures were hot in Galesburg. Large crowds kept milling back and forth between the Republican-Register on East Simmons Street and the Evening Mail on South Cherry Street to read the latest bulletins. Following the first touchdown the reporters covering the game got their telegrams to their respective offices at about the same time.

The same was true after the second touchdown, but the Evening Main posted Its bulletin as the final score, 10 to 0. Just as the crowd started fading away some brought word that the Republican-Register had posted another bulletin, making the final score 15 to 0 for Knox. Planned Celebration This put the fans up in the air for another 10 to 15 minutes until the Evening Mail's third touchdown telegram was received. The students then made plans for a celebration. A few days later at a pep meeting in Beecher Chapel the students pledged $321 in support of the team.

The next most Important game of the season was played Saturday, Nov. 8, on neutral territory at Rock Island between Knox and Notre Dame. A special train was run from Galesburg to take care of the team and local fans. Believe it or not, the score was 12 to 5 in favor of Knox. It was during the Knox-Notre Dame game that the Evening Mail more than balanced the ledger with the Republican-Register, for the bulletin scoop during the Northwestern game.

Gets Even for Previous Scoop' The Republican-Register reporter had his instructions to send brief telegrams on the game at frequent intervals. Two Willard and William Larnpc, were engaged to help get the telegrams to the telegraph office, and it was not known by the Republican- Register reporter until he returned to Galesburg that evening how badly his paper had been Scooped The Evening Mail had made arrangements with the Central Union Telephone company to lease a wire between the two cities for CHRISTMAS by Rudolph, the Santa Clatii reindeer, dachshund Hot Dog seems to be telling his Christinas wishes to a stuffed gift poodle at a downtown store.

Nationalists Worry Over U.S. Attitude The Chinese Nationalist leaders in Formosa are Increasingly disturbed by United States policy and intentions in the Far East.

Their concern was heightened last week when Vice President Nixon, visiting here, and U.S. Secretary of state John Foster Dulles made apparently conflicting statements concerning possible eventual recognition of Red China. In the following dispatch United J'ress Staff Correspondent William Miller reports on the three principal sources of Nationalist China's concern. Communist mainland hordes. But U.S.

Naval transports would be required to put them ashore and to keep them supplied. The United States also would have to put up! the supplies and ammunition for such an ambitious undertaking, Finally, the Nationalists here are afraid an economy-minded Congress will pinch the pocketbook until economic aid, which presently is keeping Formosa solvent, will be drastically cut. Military aid, they say, is improving. More tanks, artillery and ammunition still are needed, but new shipments are arriving. Governor O.

K. Yeh, who is at-! tempting to balance the National-j 1st budget, puts it this way: With increasing military aid there comes the need for economic assistance in direct ratio. For every new soldier equipped in the army, the burden on the Nationalist economy increases. For this reason, the Nationalists are alarmed by Washington reports that military aid is to be stepped up and economic assistance cut down. The Nationalists can see no solution to their economic problems on this island of limited land, equipment and raw materials, unless sizeable American aid is continued.

THt DAILY GAtESBURG, ILLINOIS, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1953 SEC. PAGE ii Weatherwise Oldster Dies With Secret RUSHVILLE, Ind. (UP) Mark Purcell, the weather prophet whose long range forecasts guided thousands of ersons in six states, died late Monday but left his secret to ny WH.UAM MILLER TAIi'EJI. Formosa (UP) Nationalist is displaying growing concern over the future policy of the United States on "the China problem." Officials of Chiang Kai-Shek's regime ha made no public demands for assurances and have asked no f-nibarrassing questions. They are not likely to do so in the near future.

The one hopo and dream of the Chinese Nationalists is that the United v.itcs will support and finance their fight back to the China mainland. Three fears are increasingly beclouding that hope: 1. hat Red China will be granted a United Nations seat. 2. That the United States has no honest intention of aiding ure generations.

Kai -Shek's armies in a mainland 1 push. 3. That the United States may, drastically cut economic aid to this regime, although continuing military assistance. Foremost, of those fears is that Red China will win recognition as the government of all China through acceptance as a U.N member. To Nationalist China's mind recognition of the Communists as the rightful owners of the Chinese mainland would finish the cause of Chiami Kai -Shek.

On the second U.S. assistance in a mainland Nationalists feel time rapidly is running out for such a venture. Age is an important factor with the Chinese troops of Gen. Sun Le-Jen. It is four years since they came here from the mainland.

Unless they and their equipment are put to use soon both morale and physical fighting trim will suffer. Gen. Sun told the United Press that his troops could defeat the CELEBRATE 60TII and Mrs. Allen Maxwell of Henderson greeted many friends and relatives at an open house Sunday afternoon celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary.

His last prediction Jssued in September was for a severe winter in Indiana. It was based on studies made by assistants under his direction. The friendly, grey-haired Purcell used a system of wind observations frowned upon by modern weather scientists.

But shrugged off the criticism of detractors and came up with some highly accurate predictions, although he often missed the boat and was reluctant to admit it. His forecasts were aimed at Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Lower Michigan, northern Kentucky and western Pennsylvania. spend the winter at Fort Pierce, F3a.
