P. HAS NORMAL EDGE Leaders Say Rural, Districts May Put Ticket Across; Few Meetings Set. BY EVERETT R. HOLLES. With the election only nine days in the offing and a general apathy prevailing on the part of the electorate the powers that be in St.

Joseph county's republican and democratic organizations are considerably concerned over the probable number of which will be cast. The democrats, building their campaign for votes around Samuel B. Pettengill, democratic nominee for congress from the Thirteenth district, are looking for a heavy vote in St. Joseph county to place him in office. The republicans, on the other hand, are maintaining a confidence that Andrew J.

Hickey, of LaPorte, repretentative of the district in congress, will be assured of victory by the vote in his native LaPorte county and two or three other strong republican counties of the district. This strength will offset any plurality for Mr. Pete tengill in St. Joseph county, they believe. The republican worry, it appears, is the fate of the county ticket which pitted against a democratic list containing a number of incumbent nominees.

It a light vote is cast in St. Joseph county it may be expected to come from about a dozen precincts which are democratic strongholds and which always send a good percentage of their voters to the polls on election day, republican leaders point out. If the vote is heavy and brings out the electorate in the rural districts republican victory may be looked for because the county has returned republican pluralities ranging from 4,000 to 9,500 at times of heavy voting, they explain. May Fall Short of 36,000. It is more or less generally agreed among the leaders of both parties that in St.

Joseph county, which contributes about six per cent of the voting strength of the state, will not exceed 36,000 and may fall considerably below that. In the last -year election in 1926 the Thirteenth district returned a republican plurality of 9,422. The democratic plurality is St. Joseph county, which is being looked to for Mr. Pettengill's victory, was only 1,160 and did little to offset the district vote which gave Congressman Hickey an overwhelming victory over Chester A.

Perkins. In some quarters it is being predieted that the total vote in the county will fall far short of the 000 votes cast in the county in 1926. Republican speakers who have St. Joseph county during the last two weeks have brought reports of, increasing strength being built up for the republican state ticket headed by Secretary of State Otto G. Fifield.

Mr. Fifield, who was in South Bend for several days recently, has as his democratic opponent a South Bend 1 man. 1 He is Frank Mayr, business man and former democratic chairman of the Thirteenth district. Mr. Mayr, the first St.

Joseph county man to win an important position on the state ticket in a number of years, is known to few in the central and southern part of the state, whereas Mr. Fifield, aided by natural advantage of an incumbent nominee, is known to thousands of voters. Pattee In Limelight. Republican state leaders are confident of a heavy vote for the entire state ticket, nine members of which are seeking reelection. Insofar as the St.

Joseph county tickets are concerned the battle is being waged around two or three major offices. In view of developments within the last 10 days, including a venemous partisan attack. upon his court, the strength of Judge Cyrus E. Pattee, republican nominee for reelection to the circuit court bench, is said by party leaders to have found fresh support. There are many who believe Judge Pattee will lead the republican county ticket and will pile up a substantial majority, over his democratic opponent, Dan Pyle.

In Che Sorb Send Urine Gets in Jail After Trying Three Times This is a strange tale that 1 makes the story of the man who bit: the dog seem commonplace. It is the account of a man who refused to despair when he could not get the police to arrest him but. instead, tried until he succeeded. The story began the first part of last week when Desk Sergt, Nicholas Laskowski received ambulance call from St.

Joseph hospital. He thought it strange that a hospital would call for an ambulance but despatched the city ambulance anyway. On the arrival of the police at the hospital they were directed to a cart used to wheel injured persons into the emergency room. On it. as snug as a bug in a rug, they discovered John.

Polcyn, age 47, no home, all wrapped up in the blanket with which the cart is equipped. Polcyn told the ambulance crew that he had been drinking heat." The two officers assumed disgusted looks but took Polcyn to the station with them anyway. When Sergt. Laskowski heard the tale he ordered Polcyn to get out of the station and stay out. Polcyn protested but the desk sergleant was obdurate.

So Polcyn left. After a little while he returned. "I have been thinking it over. Polcyn. explained "and my rights as a citizen demand that you lock me up.

The constitution of these United States insure me that." "You get out of here," yelled Sergt. Laskowski adding other. words. So Polcyn left. Early Saturday night Sergt.

Laskowski received a telephone call to send the patrol wagon to Hill street. When the wagon arrived the officers found Poleyn in the middle of the street waving to them. "You got to take me now, boys." he said. And they did. Now it is up to City Judge A.

STADIUM 25,000 See Maroons Get Revenge for Defeat of Year. BEARS HELD YARD FROM GOAL South Bend Threatens But Can't Break Through Opposing Line.

BY SIMON BOORDA. Mishawaka, Central, 0. Once more in the glorious history of South Bend-Mishawaka football rivalry a spunky band. of Maroon Cavemen toppled the banner of the Orange and Blue. A gallant 'Mishawaka eleven, fighting to regain some of the prestige lost in last year's defeat, repulsed Central's bid for the tying touchdown on the half-yard line at the Notre Dame stadium Saturday, and it was all over but the shouting.

That is not to say that Coach Elmer H. Burnham's Bears were put to rout or entirely submerged by the Maroon onslaught. Twice the Centralians held the advancing Cavemen on the two-yard line and both of these times in the first quarter. But it was Mishawaka's day, and to Mishawaka it went. A wildly gesticulating and cheering crowd of 25,000, largest throng ever to watch a high school game in Indiana, looked on as the two school rivals fought in their 19th annual meeting.

About 10,000 Mishawaka rooters went wild with joy the final gun was heard, proclaiming the Maroons winners for the first time since 1926, when Burton Doyle led his teammates 7-6 victory over the Bears. Holds Lead in Besides defeating: an ancient rival. Mishawaka established itself as commanding leader in the Northern Indiana High School conference race. The Maroons have three league victories and no defeats. Both High school bands were on hand to parade up and down the field before the game and between halves in celebration of the return to Notre Dame sod.

Last year the anclassic was staged at School field, where the Bears smothered Coach Frank M. Steeles' charges, 20 to 0. The 1928 battle. on old Cartier 1 field ended in a 7-7 deadlock. Curiously enough, the hero of that 1928 epic and outstanding for Mishawaka yesterday are brothers.

In 1928 it was Roy Horstman was the heart of the Maroon attack and defense. Yesterday it was Harold Horstman who 93 of his team's 180 yards Crome scrimmage, scored its touchdown and the pass which led directly to the winning score. Helping him were Albright, Napier, and Claycomb; and two second string backs, Mestach and Rogers. It was Mestach generalled the team when Horstman dashed 14 yards to Central's seven-yard line in the second quarter and on three successive plunges put the oval across. Basker Stands Out.

On the Bears' side stood out George Basker, who ripped off 75 of Central's 100 yards from scrimmage and played phenomenally on defense. When a few minutes before the third quarter closed Central, after a 55-yard march, lost the ball to the Maroons on the latter's two-yard line, it had been Basker who had dived, slithered, leaped and sliced his way through the bewildered but dogged Mishawaka forward wall. And in defeat it was Basker who stood out, although such linemen. as Sears, Piotrowski and Capt. Nabicht contributed their share I to the difficult task of stopping the Cavemen.

BY PEARL THIBOS. Notre Dame isn't the only school in these parts with a football team that can draw a crowd and create by the ton. All South Bend and all Mishawaka were shivering and shouting and throwing caps out at the big stadium Saturday afternoon. At least so it seemed to ye scribe who followed the crowd to see what all the racket was about. Thinking to pull a fast one, I atFrived at the stadium early to get a good seat and avoid the jam.

But when I walked up into the bowl, lo, 25,000 other great minds had had the same idea. I managed to squeeze into a pretty good place, wrapped my coat about me, and settled myself to wait for the struggle to begin. But the fates were against me there was no chance to settle down to anything. First the girls on the left had such an overflow of enthusiasm that they nearly pushed us off. into the aisle, and then the boys In front jumped up, and before the wink of an eye the entire section was on its feet.

The cheer leaders were out, and yelling had full sway. All Tangled Up. It soon became apparent that the half had not yet been told. When the bands began strutting their stuff the heat of the crowd moved up sev. eral notches and a few more caps and woolly teddy bears sailed aloft, but when the teams came running and tumbling onto the field.

pandemonium broke loose. The kick-off was recorded, the game was on, and for the remainder of the afternoon wedge of red-sweatered Cavemen battered its way through a wedge of blue-sweatered Bears. the blue rammed the red, and the two got all tangled up in heaps and piles, only to untangle and do it all over again. For a time it looked like the moment when an irresistable force meets an immovable object, the two moving slowly toward the goal line and then back again. Before long 20-yard runs, first downs, peanuts, hot dogs, coffee, end runs, completed and intercepted passes and tail spins and loop-theloops got all tangled up in my mind, and I found an ache in my neck from the strain of watching the game and trying to figure out whether the airplane overhead was falling into accidental tailspins or whether it was looping for our entertainment.

And between each event on the field the boys "out front" shouted forth the news of Notre Dame's forward march down at Pittsburgh, and it was difficult to remember which ring of this circus was the most important.

E. Swenson, age about who runs cobbler shop in the Forler hotel here, was run down and killed by a hitand-run motorist on highway M-60 about two miles east of Niles to-night. Swenson's body was found lying in the middle of the highway by a Mr. and Mrs. Slipper, of Cassopolis, shortly before midnight.

Slippers, who were returning to their home from Niles, said that a few minutes before they reached the spot where the body lay they passed an automobile with only one headlight being driven in the direction of Niles at a high rate of speed. They passed the car about a half-mile from where the body was found. The man's skull was crushed and his right leg was severed above the knee. A flash light, still lighted when the body was discovered, was found about 20 yards from his body. The Cass county coroner was called to investigate the accident.

Tribune Sports: Editor. PITT STADIUM, 'PITTSBURGH, Oct. Rockne, a master football showman, presenting a master cast, staged one of the masterpiece productions of his career here to-day as his surprising 1930 Notre Dame team toyed with a hapless Pitt Panther and won out easily, 35 to 19. This, newest Rockne creation gets better and better as its opponents get more and more formidable, it seems. After producing what seemed almost perfect football to dispose of Carnegie Tech last week, it was considered a cinch that the Rockmen could not reach such heights again SO soon.

They didn't. Not exactly. They didn't put on so flawless a show as they did in baffling Carnegie, if there were flaws to-day they were more than compensated for by the power and result-getting incisiveness of the attack. The gives by no means a -true picture of the completeness of Notre Dames's victory -her fourth intersectional triumph in as many starts this season. As a matter of fact, Notre Dame all but swept Jock Sutherland's befuddled boys off the nearly frozen turf of this amphitheater with their first huge, attack, scoring all their 35 points then.

It was strictly against second and third string talent that Pitt did all her -except just the last' 12 yards of the third touchdown, and even then Irish had only about half their first team strength on the field. Pitt Needs All Power. Even against the seconds Pitt had to' put on all her unquestioned power in a "power offense" to score, and even at that it was through a scoreless third period and some six minutes into the fourth before the Pittsburghers found anything definite to wave their brilliantly colored blue and gold handkerchiefs about. Touched off by a 59-yard run to a touchdown by Marchy Schwartz on the very 'first Notre Dame play from scrimmage, the Irish offensive streaked through and around the Panthers with almost unbelievable. efficiency to smash over five touchdowns in the first 25 minutes of The men of Rockne turned what was hailed as a great contest between two fine teams into something of a comedy with their devastating attack during this period, and well on the way to making a travesty of the match which 72.000 persons had come to see.

Then the master showman, with no ostentation or display of contempt for the opposition, began sifting replacements into the fray, and the game gradually resumed some of the aspects of a contest. Although, in view of Pitt's farheralded weakness of forward pass defense betrayed in their rout Southern California last New Year's Notre Dame had been expected to pass the Panthers into a of exhaustion and harassment, the Irish shunned the aerial. by-ways with startling thoroughness. With their running attack getting them all the yardage they could possibly need, forward passes were unnecessary, and as a -matter of record, only one forward fling was attempted in the whole game, This, it happens, fell incomplete, but no matter. Figures Misleading.

It was a peculiar game, and the figures on it are decidedly misleading if you try to get a line on the relative abilities of the two teams therefrom. Notre Dame made only eight first downs, compared to 14 for Pitt. gained 237 yards on running plays to Pitt's 151, and made nothing via air while Pitt advanced 57 yards on overhead attempts. The answer is that Notre Dame made good every time even a remote touchdown opportunity was presented, and crashed through for other touchdowns with a minimum of delay and from various distant points. In fact, the five touchdowns were accomplished on just 22 plays.

Merely, as a gesture to indicate that he was not "pulling his punches" with any sophomoric show of mercy, Rockne poured his whole first string eleven back into the game after Pitt had punched over its third touchdown and if there had been only a minute or two more left to play, the regulars probably would have come through with another six pointer by way of showing that there is, after all, more than a difference in name between the first and second teams. The regulars received the final kickoff, brought it back- Joe Savoldi carrying the ball- to the Irish 40 yard line (Joe, incidentally, very nearly got away on this play), and then had clicked off eight yards in two scrimmage plays when the gun halted proceedings. But to get at these touchdowns. Continued on Page Twelve, Column Six. changed to rain in northern Vermont carried down 50 electric power and telephone poles in the vicinity of St.
