To the Boiling Vat With the West

To the Boiling Vat With the West
 Not all Eastern football critics are narrow minded where Western foot Lall is concerned. But a good many are. And one New York paper res gently starred in this attitude by offer- ing this observation:
 Guernsey broke the drop kick record when he lifted one over against Princeton from the 5s-yard line. Pat O'Dea once drop-kicked from the 62- yard line, but this doesn't count as record, as it was made on a Western gridiron."
 Nothing, at least could be very much franker, anyway. 4.
 It must be a queer feeling to have as valuable and as educated a Big Toe as Mahan has-and then have nothing to use it for after the Last Yale game for the rest of his natural existence.
 Only think what a world of efi- ciency went to seed when Charl0 Brickley withdrew his Main Foot from intercollegiate play.
New Britain herald., 1915-11-20

Brickley's chief bid to fame was made as a drop kicker. At this art he never had an equal. But Brickley, contrary to general consideration in the matter, would have been a great football player if he had never planted a drop kick in his career. He was built like a young Jeffries, with terrific power to carry him through. good ground gainer, Brickley was wizard at breaking up forward passes for while not as fast as Mahan, he was even more alert.
 Mahan, the last of the Great Three, combined a greater attacking value than either Brickley or Hardwick. As a ground gainer both in reality and as a threat, he is the Nonpariel.
 Before today's game these three at enc time or another, jointly or apart had been largely responsible for liar wards count of Fl points against Yale's five in the last three cam paigns. And Yale has no great kick coming at being able to hold these three to Fl points in three years. It took pretty good football here and there to do even that we'll

CANT MEN BOTHERED
BY ANTITRUST LAW

Los Angeles Examiner: With indl-
cations pointing to $3,OOO,OOO crop
of cantaloupes, the biggest in the
history of the Imperial Valley, those
connected with this industry are at a
loss as to how to plan to reach then
markets, in view of the policy of the
Federal Trade Commission, just an
nounced, that no advance advice Will
be given as to what may or may not
be considered legal in the nature OF
arrangements.
Those connected with the distribu-
ton of California cantaloupes last
wear, who now face federal indict-
jments under the Sherman antitrust
law had made application to the com
mission for information as to just
how far concerted distribution could
be carried on under the law. The at
titude of the Trade Commission leaves
them in the dark.
( at is greatly discouraging," A. Nj.
Klein, president of the Klein Simpson
Fruit Company. charged with being a
member of the 'CantalOupe trust said
yesterday. 'to have those connected
with the industry placed in the posi-
tion of not knowing whether we VIII
be breaking the law by trying to put
the marketing of the cantaloupes Oh
an intelligent and systematic basis.
There is no desire on the part of the
distributors to break the law
( At present there is no concerted ac-
ton on the part of the big fruit job
bers and distributors who worked to-
gether last year.
According to the reports received by
Klein, the cantaloupe acreage in the
imperial Valley this year is about
5000. This is also the figure prepared
by the agents of the Southern Pacific
Company.
The railroad Representatives esti-
mate the seasons crop at 1000 cars.
Klein is of the belief that it will be
5000 cars, as there was q better Sc
lection of land, he says.
At normal prices that means to-
tai value, delivered in the eastern
markets, of from $2,000,000 to $3,500,
900.
ITO understand the distributing
problem said Klein, zone must ap-
preciate the fact that cantaloupes are
the nest highly perishable product
handled by the fruit dealers.
Besides the season is so short and
the cantaloupes ripen so rapidly that
it is absolutely necessary to know
where the shipments are going in or
der to supply all markets.
'If market is over-supplied the
cantaloupes cannot be diverted to an
other market because of their per-
ishable character. and they either
spoil or are sold at such low prices
as not to pay the expense Of ship
ment."

VNTASHGNGTON, July Elm a re-
w port to the war department to-
day on efforts to relieve famine con-
ditions in Mexico, Brigadier General
Devol, general manager of the Amer
lean Red Cross, declared that while
noncombatants were suffering for
want of food military leaders of the
villa and Carranza factions had
reaped a harvest from export taxes
on Mexican grown food products
shipped into the United States.
Both General Hernandez and
General Villa" said the report, pro
hibited the purchase of food supplies
in Mexico for relief of the Mexican
people, stating that any such supplies
must be purchased outside of Mexico.
The reason given is that food in
Mexico is required to feed Mexican
soldiers. The real reason in my opin-
ION is that there is a military export
tax, or, in other words, charge on
all expectations amounting on the
northern border to $400 to $500 for
each car that crosses the border. This
money is paid direct to the military
leaders.
Boost the Prices.
For instance at the time supplies
were being purchased for Monclova,
three carloads of corn could have
been purchased on the Mexican side
for S6 cents per bushel the actual
cost to the Red Cross was "a cents
per bushel. The difference indicates
