four goals from varying distances and

The showing Of the American five
man track and field team in the recent

demonstrated that the United States
athlete is still able to compete success
fully against the leading performers Of
Europe. During the contests abroad the
team selected by the Amateur Athletic
Union took part in seven meets, enter

events. Without a single exception the
American athletes finished among the
first three.
Fred Murray, of the Olympic Club, Of
San Francisco, took part in thirteen
events, including hurdles, spirits,
jumps and shot-put, IN addition to run
ming on the relay team, and his record
shows that he won three iirsts, six sec

SEASONED SOUTHPAWS
NEEDED, SAYS HIGGINS

ST. Louis. Nov. An the opinion oil
Miller Higgins, seasoned southpaw
titchers will be considered an invalu-
able adjunct to every National League
club next season. Higgins says the
cry has gone up from every manager IN
the Tener circuit for more left-handers,
and that some of the clubs are already
fortifyng themselves by preparing TO
carry no less than four southpaw hng-
ers on their rolls for 1917.
Higgins attributes the widespread
demand for southpaws 70 the fact that
so many left-hsnd hitters have come
into the league during the last TWO
years He says the influx OF left-nand-
ed batsmen will undoubtedly continue
for another year at least, or until
enough southpAw pitchers come into
the circuit to stem the tide, whereupon
we may expect 10 see the various clubs
again making strenuous efforts TO get
right-handed hitters.

Same Line Drawn Between

Cricket and baseball were closely
interviewer in 1866, and many of the
English cricket customs were adopted
in baseball. Nearly all the clubs char
tered in those days have the double
name. "The -- Baseball and Cricket
Club" or "The -- Cricket and Base
ball Association" According to George
A. Wiltsee, who starred at that time
with "The Junior Reds" the line be-
tween gentlemen players" and pro

actly as is the case TO the present day
in English cricket.

when the great Eastern players who
composed the majority Of the Reds
were imported to Cincinnati a trick
was resorted to-a trick which has
been copied at many a college and by
many semi professional or alleged
amateur ball club in more modern
days.
"All these professionals were given
Jobs in the business houses of the
teams hackers Jobs where they re-
ported every morning, were visible TO
callers or doubtful skeptics, and drew
small salaries, although few OF them
ever did a stroke Of work.

Warmers Men Bid Fair
to Make Another
Sweep on Gridiron
By FRANK O'NEILL.

When the All-America teams are Sc
lected and the football championship
title awarded by the experts, the Uni
versity OF Pittsburgh may not be recog-
nized The argument may be advanced
that Glenn Warmers proteges did not
play Yale. Harvard or Princeton, or
other teams of the Big Six. Indeed, it is
10 be regretted that those games could
not be arranged. for Pittsburgh is rep
resented by one of the strongest teams
of the year, if not the strongest.
Pittsburgh has not dipped her colors
since 1914. Then Washington and JEFF
ferson, coached by Bob Folwell. who
now commands the football destinies Of
the University of Pennsylvania, won a
thrilling game by score of 10 to 10.
That, however, was before Glenn War
ner was placed in command of Pitt.
Last year Pitt swept through a sched-
ule of eight games, including the Navy,
Penn. Carlisle, Washington and Jeffer-
son and Penn State. winning them all,
and scoring total of 247 points against
26 for the opposition. The Navy scored
twelve points against Pitt, more than
any other team.

Few Stars Lost

Those opponents who are suffering
silently and waiting for next year
TO break the power of Pittsburgh have
little cause for jubilation. A few
stars will be lost through graduation,
but Warner will have practically a
veteran team 20 start with in l9l I,
and we have his word for it that sew
eral members Of the scrub are about
ready to take their places on the
varsity eleven.
Perhaps the most serious loss will
be that OF Bob Peck. the crack centre.
Thornhill. one of the tackles, and Her
ron, the end. but there is a wealth Of
material with which TO fill the gaps.
Carlson and Heron. the two ends,
are home products. The former was
graduated from Bellefonte Academy,
and is playing his third year on the
varsity. Heron is from one Of the
local schools. and never played football
before entering the university He
will be graduated this year.
Thornhill. one Of the tackles. is play
ing his last year of college football.
He came 10 Pittsburgh from Beaver
High School, near Pittsburgh. He was
conspicuous in the Syracuse game by
his fearless. furious playing. Seidel
came from Muhlenberg. and last season
worked along on the scrub eleven.
Perhaps the greatest surprise IN the
SyracuSe-Pitt game was the easy man

Increase in Land
Assessments May Be
Ordered by State

Marked increases in the assessments
of farm lands in the state will be made
this year if recommendations of the
state tax commission are accepted by
the state board of equalization, ac-
cording to a schedule that has been
placed in the hands of the Cass county
taxing officials.
Under the findings of the state tax
commission, as to the actual value of
farm lands, and that body's' recon-
mendation that all farm lands be as
sessed at rs per cent of their actual
value, comparatively few counties in
the state will escape an increase
Oliver, Mercer, Billings, Stutsman and
Rolette being the only counties that
would not be affected.
In the attached statement of land
assessments, the first column reveals
the average sales value of the lands
