UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
NEW York; Nov. 3o-The fitting
football season, disappearing over the
horizon along with Thanksgivi day,
left little but a memory.
War-times, crushing the football
spirit at Harvard, Yale and Princeton,
also crushed all spirit for the annual
round-ups that pick this or that man
the best Of his position. It has, how
ever failed to crush the annual rivalry
that springs up internationally There
are SO many good teams in the country
this year, it is practically impossible
to choose a champion.
Selecting an all-American football
team this year is going to be treading
on the toes OF propriety Service
teams have been practically as sue
cessful as have the college stars.
Leaving them out Of comparisons
would be inviting argument
Howard Berry, the brilliant fullback
OF the Pennsylvania university eleven,
probably stands out as the best man
of all around ability. Strupper, Of
Georgia Tech, undoubtedly ranks with
the best back field men In the country.
Robson, OF Rutgers, Is another de-
serving Of mention.
AS for the champions, they amount
to about a puff of wind, for the teams
have ignored a chance to get together
and settle their supremacy argum ents.
Georgia Tech doubtless will claim the
title and so will Pittsburgh. Ohio
State will horn into the argument also
with plenty Of supporters to back the
claims OF Rutgers.

CLOSE GAME PLAYED
National Lead Put One Over Kellogg
Birue, But They Only Won by
Marrow Margin Of
TWO Scores.
Standjno OF Teams

The games of commercial indoor
baseball at the "Y" Wednesday even
ing were lively and full of interest II
one OF them was one-sided. The Keo-
kuk Eectrics failed to get very far in
their battle with Huiskamps. The
ElectHcs only touched Harness for
four hits, while he struck out twelve
OF their men. He was backed well by
the team, and they played an errorless
game. The score was 81 to 8.
The game between Kellogg Birge
and National Lead was very close, the
latter only winning by a margin OF two
scores. Kellogg-Birge had one good
inning, the first. Five of their eleven
hits were made in this inning. This,
coupled with four errors by National
Lead made them four more scores,
netting them ten runs for the inning.
After that the Leads frightened up and
proceeded to tie up the score and
then some, winning by score Of Is
to 16.

take the position that they are trying
to get for their coal the highest prices
possible under the present demand
and are refraining, even at prices
greatly increased over last year, from
contracting their output to the extent
of their usual custom.
"They defend this action by saying
that under the operations of the law
OF supply and demand, they have for
many years past been getting little
more for their coal than the bare
cost of production; that the mining Of
bituminous coal during that period
has been most improbable industry
and that this is their chance to re-
coup themselves for the losses OF
several years, Accordingly they were
demanding prices at the mine today
which run from 50 per cent to sew
eral hundred per cent over the cost
of their output"
