This IL the same method followed by
the Consolidated Gas Company when

Legislature passed a mandatory act re-

injunction enabling II to continue the

But the court ordered that 20 cents
out OF every dollar. collected by the
company be deposited with the court
and hold until final determination Of
the case. Thus the extortion part Of
the dollar rate was seaucstered and

Loyal followers OF the Spiders
were given thrills of JOY, and for
the first time in several seasons
left the yard anticipating victory
during the later and more impor-
tant days. Pitted against a
stockier and heavier foe, the col
legians fought every inch of
ground and defended their goal
with vim and punch, which
gave positive evidence of how far
Coach Frank Dobson has adj
vanced in building his machine.
Nor is any of this praise for the
Spiders given at the expense OF the
militiamen. Billy Sitterding has
earned a right to be satisfied with
his charges. Though his Blues
were heavier than their oppo-
nents, and though he has had
more experienced men to work
with, all OF these obvious advan-
tages are offset through the han
dicap of practice periods. Rich
mond's crack battalion lacks the
time to give to training for foot
