TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1950 THE ELDOEA HERALD LEDGEK, ELDOBA, IOWA PAGE FIVE THE A A Tigers Add Polish for Annual Grid Battle In Season Final Tonight; Record, 26-10-1 Season Opener at Falls Friday Night The traditional gridiron battle in Hardin county--pitting Eldora against Iowa Falls--is on this week as the Tigers are scheduled to appear on the Cadet field Friday night at 8 p. m. In addition to being the season opener for both elevens, the encounter will mark the first appearance on a gridiron for a sprinkling of Eldora newcomers. However, i Tiger veterans also will be in the ranks. Coaches Jim McLeran, Dale DeVault and Dick Camp are adding the polishing touches to the local grid machine this week in preparation for the inaugural.

Eldora followers will urobably see two innovations within Tiger play. Not since 1940 has an Eldora eleven used the formation, the offensive weapon on wh''ch a Tiger win will be based Friday night With denth in the ranks being the deciding factor, the locals are also expected to rely upon the platoon system of substitution, the mass change to take place when the Tigers shift from the offensive to the lvjut i defensive or vice versa. i eer Ray Berve, Art Rholl, Jim Yordy; back row--Kenneth Bolles, scorekecper, Howard When the Orange and Black Dave Topp, Wendell Eike, Marlyn Topp, Walt Topp and Duane Photo. eleven takes field Friday 5 Runs, No Hits Radcliffe Win following the regular und everything in the seneral demjnd pictuii 1 not a i i covered in the talk-, will be taken up at an im'oimul session at the close of the meeting RADCLIFFE--Radcliffe's high school diamond nine had a no- hitter tossed at them Friday afternoon at Jewell, yet racked a 5-2 win over the host club Taking advantage of 11 free passes, two hit batters and a pair of walks, Radcliffe tallied four runs in the top of the third and one in the fourth. the grammc room They were never headed during the encounter, Jewell gettinS cr Gifford By Mrs.

Scrimmaging here under the lights Fridav night. McLeran's iorces indicated that they have come along fast since the opening practice session Aug 24. New faces are the ranks, es- pically in the forward wall and the four letter-winning backs looked improved over last season. Probably showing the biggest improvement was, junior Ives Allbee, the speedy 145-pounder will be handling the quar- erback spot for McLeran- A "break-away runner, Allbee has developed the knack of welting for his interference to open the field for him. Offensively, the Tigers -will probably field Jim Hubbard, a sophomore newcomer and Dick Stone, a junior letterwmer, at the flanks Friday night Veterans Jim Lyman at 175 pounds and Orlan Mitchell at 165 pounds will handle the tackles while "two untried boys, senior Willard Wehrman and sophomore Charles Crandall wiIT tf6 at the'piards, George Fagg, a 160-pounder has the center spot In the backfield, AUbee is the Hkelv choice at quarter with sophomores Roger Harrington and Kenneth Wagner and senior "Beep" Anderson at the other backs.

Seeing action will be Marvin Priske and Dan Callahan, a pair of new faces in the ranks. Defensively, Hubbard will probably move out of the flank spot -with Harrington or Callahan taking over. Marvin Broer, 190-pound senior and Harold Crippen, 220-pound sophomore, are slated to be at the tackles with Lyman going to a guard along with letterwinner Max Montz and Mitchell moving to a linebacking spot. Helping Mitchell may be Callahan or Anderson with the latter possibly commanding one of the backfield defensive wings along with Wagner and Allbee moving into the safety spot.

FAMILY CIRCLE By GEORGE HODGSON Living with the same furniture arrangement year in and year out is as stifling as wearing the same style of clothes, the same hair-do season after season regardless of fashion. We all consciously or unconsciously rescond to and are affected by ouf surroundings. That's hy changes are so stimulating. So necessary. Don't think because there is no wall long enough for the sofa that the only place you 5 can put it is under the big window.

This becomes mono- tonous in time and robs you of tha delightful out-of-doors vista. Full it oat into the room and make it part of a circle by placing a chair at each end in a slightly curved fashion. Arrange another half circle of three chairs across from the sofa, but not against i the wall. This concentrates capacity into an in- jjtimate grouping for cozy I familv gatherings and easy conversation. A coffee table is a must.

Two are better if the room is large enough. Sleek uncluttered Modem pieces lend themselves beauti- fully to this arrangement. I The" olan is equally workable with" Period or Provincial styles. Form a corner writinz re- treat with a Fallfront or Winthrop desk. Use another corner for a music group.

Let us help you give your room an invigorating new look, won't you? HODGSON FURNITURE N.

Motorist There's been a lot of MYSTERY obout this wheel aligning business--a lot of technical talk about such things as "camber," "caster," "toe-in" and other terms to explain why your automobile steers hard or wears out tires as fast as you can buy new ones. We don't believe in ghosts or mystery stories and that's why we've installed a new John Bean VISUALINER in our Steering Service Department. The VISUALINER is the first machine we've ever seen that makes driving easier and safer by harnessing beams of light. Checks wheel alignment quick-os-o-flosh and projects a "picture" on a screen so that you can see for vourself whether your ear needs attention. It's no secret that faulty wheel alignment can cause "wandering," "road weave" and other hard steering symptoms.

So, drive today and let the VISUALINER show you whether vour automobile is right for the road.
