Valuable Watch Stolen
Two Residences Are Ransacked by Night Prowlers
An Elgin wateh, valued at $70,
owned by Mrs. Sam Carter, was stolen from her home at 1805 Louisiana street last evening by thieves who ransacked the house about 9. The residence of Guy V. Keeler, secretary for extension classes at IGD Indianapolis, was also ransacked but nothing taken.
Mr. and Mrs. Keeler were away from their home only a short time last evening but returned at 8:45 and found both doors of their residence open by a pass key, as at the Carrier residence. As the house was still warm it was thought that the person or persons who had ransacked the house knew nothing. Nothing was taken though the house had been through the entire house.
The thieves were probably after money collected in the Y.M.C.A. finance campaign, was the belief of Sam Carter, who is Y.M.C.A. secretary at the Y.M.C.A. office last evening auditing reports of the solicitors in the campaign at the time of the theft. They did not discover their loss until they arrived home about 12:30. Other jewelry was not disturbed by the attack.

Shooting Stars" to Fill Heavens With Brilliant Fireworks Display
Unusually large numbers or motors, or "shooting stars", are expected by astronomers during the present century. At this time, the Leonid shower, which seems to emulate from the constellation of Leo, the giant star in the southern sky of seeing perhaps one or two an hour, as you can on almost any clear night, you should be able to see 15 an hour, and perhaps even more.
Particularly brilliant displays of Leonid meteors in 1832 and 1866 led astronomers to believe that there were "supernovas" occurring November 1890. This shower did not materialize, but the following two years brought a number far greater than there had been for some years previously. It is thought that these events might be along in 1933, and if so, the Leonid meteors will now be more numerous. For this reason astronomers are especially desirous of securing observa-
Cloudy weather at the established observatories may prevent astronomers from observing the meteors, and the Flower Observatory of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, and the University in counting the Leonids. He is president of the American Meteor Society, and operates the chief asteroid watcher in Arizona with good eyesight and the determination to stay up for a few
hours after midnight in the early mornings of Nov. 15, when the meteors are most numerous, can aid in counting them, and to count the number of meteors visible during the half-hour periods. If one knows the constellations, and can make drawings of them with the telescope, this should be done, as it would be of further help. In any event, however, the numbers should not be made or made or
According to Doctor Olivier's theory, the meteors are the debris left over when the solar system was formed from the sun. The meteors of the stars, like those of November, fall into the sun. But other meteors occasionally reach the vicinity of the earth, the motion of which shows that they came from outer space. These, he believes, are asteroids and comets. That of the solar system has taken place not once, but perhaps many times around the other stars, and has been carried by the messengers from other solar systems, bringing to us news of their origin.
Three Merchants Will Offer Prizes for Homecoming
Ticket Sale For Missouri Game Nears Record; Still Good Seats in Bowl
"Homecoming prizes for the best decorated houses are to be exceptionally desirable this year," states Henry Werner, men's student advisor.
The committee wants to stress the following points in judging the decorations: originality, artistic quality, and economy. The judging will be done on Friday so all preparations be completed by Friday, Nov. 22.
Through the courtesy of Ober's there will be two cups given for the first and second cup. The Weaver's have generously donated a first and second cup for the best decorated security house. The general manager has provided a first and second cup for the best decorated organ and thus fraternity or security houses.
Further definite plans and arrangements will be explained and discussed this afternoon at the homecoming meeting at the alumni office. Decorations, radio, types of publicity, and other materials for the distribution reports will be explained.
The committee is asking the organized houses and individuals to participate in a committee at the Memorial Union building when guests arrived in Law.
"There is annual interest in the homecoming program and entertainment this year," said Fred Ellsworth this morning after he had named some principal cities from which he will host events. Even now the alumni office receive letters from former students of the University who ask for tickets to the Missouri game on the 50 yard line. At present the best tickets available are in the bowl part of the stadium. And B at the south end of the stadium.
"The tickets which are being reserved now for alumni in the bowl are good seats and better than some other teams in the stadium. The seats in the bowl allow people to see the players from different views than they did when playing at home. You can see where the hole is made in the line by the teams and where the man runs through. This particular phase cannot be observed from the side."
People who have seen games in stadiums at Yale, Michigan and other major cities, would fight over the 50 yard seat seats but instead are satisfied with the seats
Y. M. C. A. Drive Closes Committee Hopes Late Reports Will Complete Goal
Short of its $2,000 goal by $650, the Y.M.C.A. was depending on reports of late solicitors to bring it to its goal today. The campaign closed last night and left the campaign committee with almost a hundred signatures but short of last year's pledges by several hundred dollars.
The cake which was presented to the team reporting the most cash and pledges by 11 o'clock last night was awarded to Arthur Crumb, major, and William Lowe, player of $296. The other teams ranked as follows: Kenneth Meurer, $286; Richard Garlinghouse, $278, and Dick Vernon, $227. However, late reports which detail the count in the contest indicate that the numbers involved towards the goal really occurred.
The $1850 raised was divided by 24 and the $700押金 to be paid this year, the amount of this afternoon so that it was thought that the debit might be decreased
The final visit by solicitors to men students was made last evening when an effort was made to see every man who had not been seen the previous evening.
