The IRON INDUSTRY

TREMENDOUS CONSUMPTION

New York, N. Y.-The conviction Ia
general throughout the iron Industry
that the present tremendous rate of
consumption will continue during the
first half OF the current year, coupled
with prevailing generally profitable
prices. There are many who are act

Large Orders Reported.
The report IL current that two west

may be interpreted as meaning that
so much rolling capacity has been en-

Among the sales OF structural mate

that during the current year a large
tonnage will be required for the strlck'

expectations that the true demand
would not develop until a considerable
time after the disaster.

HARVARD BADLY BEATEN.
Dartmouth Wipes Out Many Years
of Defeat

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. November 10
Dartmouth retrieved many years of de
f@ats ~ an overwhelming victory over
Harvard today before Il vast gathering in
tie stadium. the final score being 90 to
in favor of the New Hampshire team.
Except ;o.' the first few minutes of play,
HarVa d was OutclaSsed. although the
three Dartmouth tOuchdOWns came I'M
expectedly Two of the touchdowns were
on blocked kicks. the first on Harvard S
thirty -five-yard line and the second on the
twenty-five yard line. The third touch
down made on a brilliant play by
Ingersoll. the speedy Dartmouth half
Uack, who Intercepted a Harvard on
side kick nearly in the middle of the field
and ran through the outstretched hands
Of six Harvard players to the goal line.
Capt. Glaze kicked all three goals from
touchdowus and supplemented his work
ay a pretty goal from placement from
lie ight-ya.d line. In the first
W minutes OF the game Harvard rushed
lie ball three times TO within ten yards
-. the Dartmouth goal, once within four
va us Of the line, only TO lose the ball on
unsuccessful forward passes and fumbles
Then Dartmouth began - play foot ball,
and from that time the Dartmouth goal
was never even threatened. The first
half was without score.
The playing OF Harvard was a great
disappointment to her supporters. There
was no concerted action and very few OF
the new plays wee carried oft.
