AAvE GOOD TEAMS
Only Two Positions to Fill
This Year in Pitt
Lineup.

There is going TO be some shouting
when several Of the teams OF the mid.
die west tackle the University OF
Pittsburgh football team. Pittsburgh
lost one game last year. Wash.Jeff
beating them by a score OF 10 TO 10.
This game was the hardest TO swai-
low In the Pittsburgh camp, because
81 was the last game OF the season,
and the team had defeated everything
that Il tackled up to that time.
This year Cornell, Wash.Jetf, Car
Isle, Georgetown. etc, have n thing
10 contend in fighting Pittsburgh that
they have not experienced before.
That one great item is Coach Glen S.
Warner. Warner has handled the
teams Of both Carlisle and Cornell.
and the coaches OF these two teams
know that he is capable OF beating
ningIteam. But Warner will not have
poor or green material when he
marches his first team onto the field.
Only Of Pitts men left last year.
Theylwere guards. With nine OF last
years regulars, Warner should be
able TO drill two Of last years sec.

There is every year a certain
amount OF jealousy between the teams

Pitt and partly on account Of the re.

gtnias Varsity in playing either of these
teams.
Wash.Jeff tied with the Harvard
team last year, but only won from
Pitt by three points. Last year Pitt
had Wagner which will make a de,
cided difference this year when the
team lines up without him. Harvard
last year had the best team it ever
boosted OF, and when Wash.Jeff tied
with the Cambridge team, the for.
mer boosted to the skies. Wash-Jeif
has had q first class squad for the past
FIVE years. and this year all OF the
men in the lineup are told that the
duty most expected OF them Is TO beat
Pitt.

the title Of this lesson. 1t can be used
as a temperance lesson no doubt, but
to attribute B%en-hadad's defeat entire.

Potash Situation.
Conditions in Europe for a year
past have brought US face to face with
a potash situation, which, II not re-
lieyed sooner OF later, may prove a
very serious problem to US, as regards
the supply OF this important fngredi-
'ent of our high-grade fertilizers. for
our soils are not rich In this essential.
Fortunately for the great agricuL
tural industries. American enterprises
and skill have been able to obtain
from the deposits of alunite In the
state Of Utah standard, commercial
grades of potash, and let us hope that
the exploitation of this valuable ma,
tional asset may result in our being
able In a year or two hence to fer
tilize our broad acres with American
potash exclusively.
As the result. TO no small extent.
of the data furnished by Dr. Norris
and the committee on the manufae-
ture of sugar and utilization of by
products in their last annual report to

ton of new and improved methods of
