STOCKMEA DISCUSS BETTER
TINE FOR CATTLE SHIPMENTS

A meeting of the stockmen was held
at LaVeta Wednesday to confer with
Ernest E. johnson of the State Public
Utilities commission. who was over to
investigate what the commission could
do to secure better shipping time for
the stock trains. A number of griev-
ances were talked over and Mr.. John
son or some other member of the COM
mission will be here at the annual Stock
Growers meeting in June.
The commission has recently put in
operation a weekly stock train from the
San Luis valley to collect shipments and
get them into Denver with the least
possible delay. A few hours unneces-
sary stoppage in these days Of high
priced beef. may make difference Of
$50 to 500 q car in net returns. The
present schedule time on the grade from
Gunnison to Sslda, with fifteen cars or
more is supposed to be ten hours and
thirty minutes. However, much delay
is often experienced transferring and
east of Sslida. 1t 10 believed these
matters can be arranged thru repre-
sentatives of the stockmen, the COM
mission, and the railroad, to furnish q
weekly stock train, or some relief of
that character from the Western Slope,
during the heavy shipping season from
September to February. There would
be no particular advantage in q stock
train for Gunnison county. but our relief
will come in some other manner.

kicked after touchdown in this period, as the wind was bad.
 Bessemer was able to make. but very little headway in this quarter and did not register a first down but once Bessemer's end runs netted but little They never made single gain around Central's left end, as Fritz" Jones Is the guardian of that terri tory. Jones was in every play and cer- tain1y earned a place on the mythical all-A1abama high school team.
 Central continued the vigorous at tack on the Tigers in the last period, which resulted in the scoring of three more touchdowns. Joyce Levvy, play ing brilliant game at halfbackw, was indirectly responsible for two of these. He made one sprint of 50 yards for a touchdown, but was called back for going out of bounds and he made another long run of 30 yards for a touchdown.
 With minute to play and the bail on Central's 1s-yard line Levvy con- tributed the sensation of the game by running around left end with practi-' cally no interference. He sprinted S2 yards for touchdown. eluding six would-be tacklers by some wonderful sidestepping. Bessemer fought to the last but 1t was of little use, as the powerful Central team outclassed
 
 Bessemer fans look forward to next year as every man returns and Gen. tral loses a number of her old men. Bessemer hopes to make it a little more than track meet.

Bessemer was outplayed but not outfought. They displayed gameness that very few teams possess when they are being swamped under heavy score.
 Central started her march to vic- tory in the first five minutes of play. By steady gains the ball was brought to Bessemer's five-yard line, where Montgomery was pushed across for the first marker of the game. Levvy missed the goal.
 Both teams fought desperately the first period and Bessemer,' by some superhuman efforts, was able to hold Central to one touchdown.
 Bessemer was able to hold Central to two touchdowns in the second quar- ter as the west field proved a han dicap to the fast Central backs. The first half ended with the ball in Cen trars hands on Bessemer's 40-yard line.
 The feeling between Central and Bessemer rooters was bitter and it de- veloped into a cheering contest in- stead of a football game.
 Only once did Bessemer really threaten CentraPs goal line and that was in the first part of the second quarter when long forward pass from w. Baty to Merritt netted 30 yards and put the ball on Central's 20- yard line. Here Captain Hall began insulting pep into his players and they held like a stone wall. And while the subject is being discussed it might be said that Hall played the best game of his career this year. To ap- preciate the work of the hard working captain one will have to watch his playing carefully as he does not get the attention that the rest of the team get. Morel Montgomery at tackle de- serves all the credit that he receives. This star linesman played the best smashing game seen in long time.
 Central started strong in the las. half and by wonderful end runs reg istered three touchdowns in the third period. Long runs by Montgomery and Joyce Levvy spelled doom for Bes- semer in this half. The Bessemer team fought desperately against heavy odds and won the admiration of the fans for their gameness. Bessemer relied mostly on the open play to bring home the laurels. seldom resorting to line bucks. Clay Jackson made two of the three touchdowns by some hard line bucks. Shine" Montgomery made the third touchdown by some nifty sidestepping. Only one goal was

Pittsburg, November 29.-DefeatinS today in the annual Thanksgiving game between the two teams, the Uni versity of Pittsburg completed It's third consecutive season without de- feat on the gridiron. With nine vic tories this season, including defeats of the University of Pennsylvania, Washington and Jefferson and Syra cuse. the Panther eleven is again able to lay claim to the football champion- ship of the east.
 Pennsylvania State though out weighed and matched against more experienced team, fought back the pitt like smashes and end runs with determination. Using a double and triple pass that mystified Coach War ner's mer. the eastern Pennsylvanians assumed the offensive in the second period and scored touchdown by use of triple pass. Cross to Rauch to Way to Czarnecki Conover failed at the try for coal.
 The Panthers started the game with a
 
 cession after receiving the ball on the kick-off, the gains carrying them to the Pennsylvania State even-yard line, from which McCarter went over for a touchdown The second touch down came after Easterday had made an end run of 33 yards.

PENN VICTORIOUS OVER CORNELL IN
 ANNUAL CONFLICT Quakers Get Slow Start, But Roll Up 37 Points on Ancient Rivals on a
 Slippery Field

Philadelphia, November 29-There was no football surprise on Franklin Field today, Pennsylvania defeating her old rival. Cornell. 37 to 0, in their twenty fifth annual game. On the comparative playing of the two teams during the season, the score represented about what the Pennsylvania followers expected In the quarter of century of football be- tween the two universities Pennsylvania has won 20 games, lost four and one was tied.
 Cornell startled the Pennsylvanians in the first period. The Quakers did not seem to have the speed or power to stop the Ithacans, with the result that the New York State team clearly out played the Philadelphans
 After the first quarter it was all Penn sylvania. The Red and Blue scored 1s points in the second period and while no points were added in the third, the Quaker goal was never in danger. In the final quarter Pennsylvania did about as she pleased and scored "A points.
 The playing field was soft and slip pery, the result of 3-inch snowfall early yesterday. and the players had diff culty in holding their feet.

Alabama played fine game, how. ever, but their green men found it ex- ceedingly hard to stop such men of cali bre of Bob McWhorter and Wilson Col lins The soldiers had many substitutes, and with the majority of these in the ] lineup, the Crimson showed their only strength in the third period, when a touchdown was registered.
 The soldiers tallied early. McWhorter received for the army lad and returned about 10 yards A few seconds later, McWhorter broke loose around the Crimson right end, and darting and lodging his way by waiting Crimson taeklers, raced 57 yards. He was downed on the two-yard line. Adrain Vande- Graaff, a former Alabama star bucked through center for touchdown. Goal was missed.
 COLLINS SCORES
 The second touchdown came in the latter part of the period, when Wilson Collins, formerly of Vanderbilt, ran around the Crimson right end for T5 yards for a touchdown. He, too, dis played some fancy sidestepping and a considerable dash of speed. His interfer- ence, however, was much better than furnished by McWhorter.
 Goal was again missed. The period ended with the ball in Alabama's pos session on their own 25-yard line. Ala bama kicked and the soldiers gained the ball in mdfield. A series of plunges and short end runs, including a dash for 25 yards through the center of the Grim son line by VandeGraaff placed tie ball within striking distance of the Crimson goal again and McWhorter agained squirmed through. Bond kicked goal.
 For the remainder of the first half, the play was about even. The Crimson could gain occasionally, but lacked the consistency to put the ball within strik- ing distance of the soldiers goal Ala bama withstood an attack of the sol diers within the 10-yard line on one casion, following a 35-yard run by Rev. holds. formerly of Georgia
 M'WHORTER A WONDER
 The work of Mcwhorter throughout the first half was sensational The big Georgian seemed not to have lost any of his former effectiveness, and he was the main cog in the soldiers machine. On the defense. he was in every play, and when given the ball. it always took from three to five Crimson warriors to check his lodging tactics
 The start of the second half wit messed the successful working of the famed open formation The soldiers were baffled by the bewildering passes of the Crimson executed by Stowers,
