Football Matters.

Loveland is elated over a proposition
from Denver to play a game of foot
ball in the latter city on Christmas day
with high school team from Engle-
wood, Illinois. In mentioning the mat
ter the Loveland Times gloatingly
shouts: ITO be considered as having
the best High School Football team IN
Colorado is glory enough"
Maybe so, but the whole matter reads
much like one of the regular gratis
Denver is so much in the habit of hand
ing around.
Bloom, who plays centre on the
Englewood High School team, is 19
years old, feet inches tall and
weighs 2lO pounds This is the team
Longmont is to play in Denver on
Christmas day for the u S. High
School championship. We're loyal to
Colorado. Siss boom for Longmont.
The proposition. coming from Den
yer, is that it will cost sl,5O0 to pay
for the game; that Denver will put up
81. 600 if Loveland will supply the other
WV, anu tiuSy AoNCidiid DdSAhCSS iuCI
guaranteed to do.
Naturally there is expected to be
money in the game for somebody, and
it doesn't require much figuring to tell
who that somebody" is when a thing
is promoted in Denver
At one or two of the games played
in Denver this fall the gate receipts
amountee to sl2. 900 and sl5. 900.
Delta has good High School foot
ball team, one she is proud of and
which her people confidently believe to
be the best in the state, but it is not at
all likely that her people would put up
$500 to send them to Denver to play
some other state team for Denver's
benefit
We may not know all about the
kitty" in this game, but it occurs to
man up tree that 81, 500 is pretty
heavy expense money to be necessary
to bring eleven kids from Chi to Den
yer, jast as it occurred that it required
nearly S4oo to pay the trip of the Colo
RADIO eleven to Delta.

Straw Hat Argument.

Quite bit of talk has been made
lately in Denver newspapers. mainly
eminating from Grand Junction, about
new beet sugar factory to be built
either at Olathe or Montrose.
There is little doubt but that Grand
Junction would like to hold on to the
Gunnison valley, clear up the North
Fork, for its beets to supply its factory
at Grand Junction, but the fact re-
mains that Delta is the centre of the
beet land of the Gunnison and Uncom-
pahgrc valleys, and when a new factory
is built it should and in all likelihood
will be erected at Delta. That is the
situation at present and will be the sit
uation in the future.
Still, there is no better time than
now for our people to get to work in
earnest to ''cinch" a beet sugar fac
tory. There is money in 1t for the
home people, even to build and operate
the factory themselves, but, should
they not be able to do that, they can,
by starting the enterprise in the right
way, get capital or companies to COM
plete the work.
1t would appear from published fig
ures that it has cost the sugar factory
at Grand Junction this year sl0O, 900 to
operate, $50, 200 for wages to labor
and 1920, 900 for 5000 tons of beets
used, making total of S490, 900. The
factory claims to have made l25, 900
sacks of granulated sugar worth $685.
900, 80 car loads of molasses and are
feeding between 2OOO and 5000 head of
cattle on pulp. BY these figures the
factory has probably a net profit of
$3.50, 600 on its seasons work, which,
by the way. would not be bad little
rake-off for Delta county company.
A town over in the north part of the
state has submitted a proposition to
Mr.. Corey, the Denver sugar trust
magnate. to put them in a beet sugar
factory. They agree to donate so acres
of land for factory site, pay s12, coo
cash as expense of freight on machin-
cry, subscribe for $4,000 of the
company stock and guarantee the re-
quired acreage of beets to supply
factory. On the part of the trust they
offer to build the factory or rather to
move one from some point in Nebraska.

Cutting Scrap Expensive.

The trial of VIM Lance for assault
on Archie Walker came up Wednesday
before Justice Travis, who assessed a
fine of Si0O and costs in the matter of
assault
1t is said that Mr.. Lance also paid
Walker $500 in civil settlement of his
claims for damage for injuries received,
doctor bills, etc.
The estimate of the whole cost to
Lance. including attorneys fees, is
thought to be about 81, 900, making it a
tolerably expensive sugar beet day.

TO CHALLENGE CORNELL.
Middies Looking for q Two or Four
 Mile Race in the Severn.

Annapolis M, D., Oct. 2S.---rt was learned here to-day that the naval academy rowing authorities have de- termined to challenge Cornell for either a two or a four mile race on the Severn next spring. The mldship- men branched out last year when they took on Harvard for race and their determination to row Cornell, a regu- lar entrant at Poughkeepsie, for four miles is taken to indicate that all hope of sending a navy crew to the big event on the Hudson in 1909 has been abandoned.

Trouble in fixing dates at the audi torium in Hartford has caused gen eral miX-up in the schedule of the roller polo teams, and it was at first thought that New Haven would play last night against the Capital City quintet, but later 1t was discovered that. the Bridgeport team was sched- uled to play there
 After two days rest the local duin- tet will migrate to the Park City to- night for It's second contest of the weekM and a hotly contested battle is expected, A return game will b. played tomorrow nigat at the Quu~ nipiac rink and wrJ probably decide the ownership of second berth.
 The Teddys arc a strong aggrcga- ton, and 1t is beautiful sight to see those tiaoly-built athletes, attlrod fin their gray uniforms, make matters lively with our boys in blue. Both contingents are evenly matched, and one of the hardest fought contests f. assured when these two strong teams fight 1t out
 Unusual interest Is being taken in the local polo games by the people of New Haven, and the i5QO attendanccs are becoming mere habits, There Is little doubt that Iho team deserves much support, for the hard-worklng Boneyards arc delivering the real goods in their contests A team made up of stars like our quintet, who mean to give the fans a genuine exhibition Of the exciting game of polo is well worth seeing, and already tickets for the Homestead tomorrow night are gradually departing from Laubers cigar store, S65 Chapel street

 The coaching problem which has become a serious one to the N H H s football team lost a good chan pi receiving much needed lift, when the candidates failed to turn out for prac, tice Tuesday, after notice had been given, on account of g little rain. MT Hackett who has done more than any other teacher in the school towards assisting the various athletes of the school finding time, went to Yale field on Tuesday to assist the clevef, His services as coach have always been In great demand by the various athletic teams of the local high school, and his advice and work as coach has always brought about successful results. The players were wishing to hear from the popular teacher, especially now that they are in the throes of trouble.
 When Mir Hackett arrived at Yale field, Tuesday, he saw no signs of the players He then visited Pratts field; but here also no sign of the eleven could be found Mr Hackett, who Is principle of the Boardman evening ad- vanced school besides regular teacher of the school, has little time to coach of the students at the field, he be- came disgusted and when asked last night if he intended to help the N H. H. s. eleven this season, MT. Haskett stated that his time was altogether too much taken up and that he could not see how he could arrange to coach the team.
 Without doubt, the services of a man like MT Hackett, who could remedy the bad spots of the team and who carried command and respect before him, is just the man the eleven wants If MT. Hackett has time and gener- ously agrees to assist the team, noth- ing better could be hoped for.
