BOARD TAKES Up
BOOKS PROBLEM
Conflicting Opinions on Renewa
of Present Contracts Cause
Lengthy Discussion.

The State Board of Education. sit
ting as textbook commission con-
sidering contracts to be awarded for
next years books, was in executive
session at the Capitol Tuesday.
Thirty odd publishing houses are
bidding for the new contracts.
There are two opinions in the com
mission-one holding that the pres
ent contracts should be Temporarily
renewed pending the present IegisIa
tive investigation into the entire book
situation. This side claims that to
renew would avoid many possible
changes of books within the next few
months. This side is headed by the
Governor.
The other side holds that all pres
enJ contracts should be abrogated
without bubble and a new deal had
all around.
The impression is that the situation
as it at present exists will not be
materially disturbed at this time.

oilino Japanese UmbreIIas.

The vegetable oil used in making pa- per um mbreIlas in Japan is pressed out of the seeds of the rubber plant This oil Is made in the various islands fa- nous for oil and seeds from these plants. Sandy ground is favored for the cultivation of the plant. The yield of seeds is estimated at twenty bush els per acre. The annual production throughout Japan amounts to 350,OOO bushels, from which over a gallon of oil per bushel is extracted. The oil. before it is used. is boiled and then cooled until it can be applied by hand to umbrellas with piece of cloth or waste. No machinery or tools are used in applying the oil. When the oiling is completed the umbrellas are exposed in the sun for about five hours. This oil is also used in mak- ing the Japanese lanterns, artificial leather, printing ink, lacquer. varnish- es, oil paper and paints.

JOCKEYS BACK FROM
 EUROPE WITH MONEY

Fred Taral, one of Americas fore most jockeys of a generation ago, and now trainer for the Weinberg Stable in Germany, which tota1ed $127, 1000 in winnings during the past season, ar rived in New York yesterday aboard the North German Lloyd liner George Washington TaraI stated that the last season was the most profitable he had enjoyed abroad.
 With him was Frank OrNei1, who rode 800 races for w. K. Vanderbilt during the past season, and led the list of winning riders. It is said that O'Nei1's great number of mounts is worlds record He won 162 races, Taral believes that O'Nei1 is the great est jockey on the turf, and recently offered him retaining fee of $25,O0O a year and 10 per cent. of his winnings to ride for the Weinberg firm. which O'Nef1 could not accept, as he is under contract to MT Vanderbilt.
 Tara1 said that the last race ridden by Tommy Burns,Ath jockey who was killed recently, was for him, at Berlin on Oct. 29. Another of the riding con- tingent to come home for the winter was Michael Miles, who rode in Aus tria and won g out of 230 mounts.

COLLEGE PLAYERS ARE
 NOT GOOD LETTERS

Cleveland, Nov. 25-"I never saw a man playing collegiate baseball on whose chances to make good in the big league would bet a cent
 That is what was said by Branch Hickey, now manager of the Browns. one day during the summer. Hickey has coached college baseball teams for several years and has been instrumen- tai in several youngsters breaking into fast company. Consequently such a statement coming from him is rather surprising.
 Hickey went on to explain himself as follows:
 fBy watching a college player, you can arrive at a, clear idea. of how he can field and how he can run the bases. You can find out the percent age of ivory he possesses. But wheth- CT he can hit in fast company keeps you guessing. You see it is this way: College baseball schedules consist of about twenty or thirty games. One team rarely plays one rival more than twice in a season. Now take Lavin of the 1912 Michigan team as an example. He batted like veritable Eddie Col lins while at Michigan, but could not truthfu1ly say he could bat strongly as 8. professional.
 During his college career, Lavin probably never batted against any one pitcher in more than two games Con- sequently, if he had a weakness, none of the pitchers had a chance to dis cover it. It is different in professional company A collegian might break in and bat 500 his first few weeks. Then, the word would be passed around that this recruit could not hit a curve, or possibly that he was weak on a fast one close in. And, you know, they cer- tain1y do pass the word around. The result is that MT. Recruit goes back to the minors to try to overcome his bat ting weakness.
 That is why when a college coach I would refuse to discuss a college players. batting ability, although might tout him to the skies in other departments of the gane.''

BIG PRAISE FOR
 CHARLIE BRlCKLEY
 AND EDDIE MARIAN

Herbert Reed. the old Cornell star who is football expert on the New York World, has the following to say about the great work of Brick1ey and Mahan in the Harvard-YaIe contest:
 'sOne last word about the drop-k kick ing and shall pass on to the bunting. Brickley is of course orA of the g1 1eat- est drop and placement kickers the game has ever seen, perhaps the great est, but he must have protection when he kicks, and only once on Saturday was he at all hurried. The Crimson af- forded him wonderful protection To the uninitiated toe accuracy would seem to be the chief requirement of success. On the contrary, the drop piEg of the ball figures nightly, and 1t is at this stage that the kicker is in greatest need of protection. Guernsey did not get anything like the protec- ton accorded to Brickley, otherwise he might have done even better than he did. And, incidentally, Brickley would have been a mighty factor in Harvards game had he been unable to kick at all

The Ellis played only one man back much of the time and suffered thereby, despite the leS- sons of last years big games. Ya1e's punten could not place the ball as could Mahan They could not kick it where Maha1r was not, whereas Mahan could kick it, and sometimes make it bound and ro1l,z where Wilson was not that is to any great extent. Twice in the first period Mahan. by the prettiest sort Of placing and judgment of dis tance, all but put Yale in the hole, once in the fatal 1eeward corner, but
