Hard Shaping
Championship

show a record superior to any other
college eleven in the East.
How simple it would be-and how
satisfying to the lover of the gridiron
game-if the big elevens in the East
did form a league, battle largely
among themselves, as they do In the
West, and conclusively settle the
championship each year.
The western conference consists OF
nine colleges: Illinois, Chicago, Mime
sofa, Wisconsin, Iowa, Ohio State, Pur-
due. Indiana and Northwestern. Most
of the teams play each other every
year-and the championship problem
is made easy in solution. Last year
Illinois won the championship-won 1t
undisputably Chicagos record was
next best and Chicago got second
place. The ranking order of the other
teams is as they read at the top of
this paragraph
Suggests Eastern Conference.
Why not such league in the East
with these nine colleges entered: Yale,
Harvard, Princeton, Dartmouth, Pitts
burgh, Army, Navy Cornell and Penn
sylvania.. All these colleges now OBJ
serve the one year eligibility rule,
which bars the playing Of freshman.
Every team in such a league would
show up we'll, and the fight ought to
be a close one.
There isn't much doubt but what
six of those colleges-Army, Navy,
Dartmouth, Cornell, Pittsburgh and
Pennsylvania-woul agree to such a
plan because there is real sportsman
ship at those institutions-and no
snobbishness. But the one time big
Three would prove the stumbling
! block for a time. They've become so
used to thinking in Yale Harvard and
Princeton that they are the high lords
of football that the idea is deep rooted
ard it would be a hard job to ex-
tract it.
But it can be done if enough pres
sure is brought to bear-and it should
be done for the sake of the great
college game.

RECRUITS Are Plate shy.

THE bulk of recruits who come into
the big leagues nowadays says Man.
ager McGraw OF the New York Giants,
don't step into the ball. Instead,
they stay away from it and, as a re-
suit, few of them ever will be batters.
Just why the new crop of ball players
should be plate shy is a mystery to
me. In the olden days all the men
stepped into the ball and hit it on
the nose. OF course, some of them
were hit by pitched balls, but that al
ways was looked upon as something
that was to be expected and endured"

Iansing-Figures taken from the
last annual report of the state rail
road commission show that during
1914 the commission passed favorably
upon stock and bond issues of public
utilities corporations amounting in all
to 1898, 90e. 239.
Steam and electric railroads were
given permission to issue stock and
tonds amounting to S202,104,000.
Light, gas, water and power compan-
les received the approval of the COM
mission for issues amounting to $780,

for telephone companies was $769,2S9,
and miscellaneous public utilities were

authorized to issue stock and bonds
amounting to $45S,500.
AS a result of the increased authori-
ty granted the state railroad commits
sion in recent years, this commission
is possessed of great power and is one
of the most important arms of the
state government.
II was only few years ago that the
state struggled along with but one
railroad commissioner. Several years
ago the state railroad commission,
composed of three members was Gre
ated and it was given authority to
pass upon the stock and bond issues of
practically all the public utilities cor
porations doing business in Michigan.
The present commission is COM
posed of Lawton T. Hemans of Mason,
who is chairman of the board, Charles
Il. Cunningham of Detroit and c. L.
Glasgow, of Nashville.
Hemans is lawyer and attends to
all the legal problems confronting the
commission. Glasgow is a practical
business man and knows something
about the difficulties of the shippers,
while Cunningham, who for nearly 40
years was railroad employee, under
stands thoroughly the practical side of
the railroad business. The law pro-
vides that there shall not be more
than two of one political party on the
commission. Hemans and Cunningham
are democrats and Glasgow is a re-
publican.
The republican member of the board
is now serving his seventh year. He
mans was appointed four years ago
and Cunningham became a member of

Wouldn't 1t be a great boon to foot
ball if the big colleges in the East
formed conference such as exists in
the West and then, at the end of each
season, the winner of the East played
the winner of the West for the grid
iron championship of the country?
Year after year the question of
whether the eastern champion is SUI
perior to the western goes unsettled.
The Fastener contends that eastern
footballers are the peer of any in the
West; the West SCOTS at such an idea
and claims that any of the crack
western elevens could smother the
best in the East. And there you are
arguments pro and con, day after day,
year after year-and the great ques-
ton is a question still.
Even if the eastern colleges didn't
want their champion to play the title
holder of the West, it would be a great
thing for football if nine Of the big
colleges in the East formed a league,
arranged schedule among themselves
and settled each year beyond the pos
sibility of dispute, the question of
real supremacy in the East.
In years gone by Yale, Harvard and
Princeton were looked upon as the
only colleges that were entitled to
fight for the championship. 1t seemed

Before any public utilities corpora
ton can sell stock or issue bonds, ap-
plicaticn must first be made to the
commission. A date for a hearing is
set and the proposition is thoroughly
investigated before any action is la
ken. In a majority of instances, es-
pecially where there is a large amount
at stake, an appraisal of the COM
pany's property is made, and If the
assets are insufficient, the issue is re-
fused. The commission is supposed
to stand as a protector for the invest
ing public and so far no criticism has
been directed against it's actions.
