especially private citizens who travel
on the tines, saying he wanted them
to look into conditions with a view
to reaching some definite understand

"Neithcr this state nor this country

Company's Effort to ST.
Corporation Counsel

In letter to Corporation Counsel
William P. Burr, Mayor Hylan yester-
day declared that the city would fight
any attempt to increase gas rates in
the city, carrying the contest, if neces-
sary, to the United States Supreme
Court
The letter, commencing Mr.. Burr and
District Attorney Swami for their fight
to keep the rates as established was
provoked by the ordsr issued by the
Federal Court on behalf Of the Con-
solidated Gas Company directing the
Corporation Counsel 20 show cause to-
day why the order permitting him to
act as solicitor for District Attorney
Swami should not be revoked.
The gas companys attorneys held
that the Corporation Counsel is re-
qulred by law to devote all his time
to his duties, as prescribed by law
and further, that his employment in
hte suit would be waste Of the gen
eral funds of the city, since it would
apply them in payment Of litigation
IN which the city has no interest
Robert E. Livingston, on behalf Of
the Consolidated Gas Company, ISSUED
statement last night in which he
said:
The application is entirely in CON
formity with the previous ruling of
the United States court in deciding
that this case was not one in which
the city had any personal or legal in
terest Whatever
ut should not be forgotten that the
United States Supreme Court particu-
larly stated that il the cighty-cent
gas rate was insufficient to give the
company reasonable return on its
investment the Consolidated Gas Com
pany was invited to apply to the court
for further relief"

BULLDOGS ROUGH ON
HAMILTON AGGIES
Visiting Farmers Slaugh-
tered by Clock-like Of
Tense of Howard

The cycIonic attack of. Conch Dill
experienced Hamilton Aggies OF their
feet yesterday afternoon and the locals
won. 81 to o. in the most Iopsided game
of the year. At no time after the kick
of did the Farmers threaten TO score,
not a single first down being recorded
by them during the entire contest.
On the other hand, the Bulldogs tore
into the Aggie line for substantial
gains on every attempt. circled the ends
almost at will and tossed passes with
a sangfroid usually evidenced in prac-
tice scrimmages.
The entire Howard team, including
a half dozen substitutes, had so little
opposition that it is hard to tell who
really starred. Babe" Adams. at
tackle; "Peahead" Walker at quarter,
and Q. b. Newman at end were especial
ly brilliant. Levy made a S5-yard run
for a touchdown and Walker ran SIS
yards on one occasion before planting
the oval behind the goal posts.
The Hamilton boys fought gamely
but aside from momentary flashes o.
form. failed to display an offense
worthy of mention. Ford, at quarter
back, played his usual stellar game,
running the ends well and returning
punts nicely despite his lack of inter-
ference.
While a Howard victory was ex-
pected the complete rout of the Ag
gies was assurprise. as on the occasion
of the last meeting between these two
elevens thegame ended in a tie
Coach Dillon has instilled a spirit
of fight into his Bulldog eleven that
makes itself evident in every contest
The Howard team tackles low, charges
hard and plays well together.

Comiskey issued statement charging
President Johnson with endangerins

I'VE have reached the conclusion,
Comiskey said, that Mr.. Johnson is en-
dangering not only the value of Our
properties but the integrity, of base
pail and we. therefore, intend to do
everything possible to rid organized
baseball of the impediment which we
believe is now attached to it,"
Comiskey said the board of directors
had attempted to inquire into Presi-
dent Johns perpetual franchise" to act
as president of the league, but that
President Johnson at no time appeared
before the directors.
A call for the annual meeting of the
league to be held in New York De-

GENERALS TO PLAY
BUNCH
Washington and Lee Ready
for Big Game With the
Catholic Eleven

Lexington, Va November I.-(Spe-
cial) -Realizing that his Generals will
have no easy time Saturday against
Georgetown, Head Coach Raftery today
announced, after stiff scrimmage on
Wilson Field, that his Blue and White
Veterans were ready for the Catholics
and would put forth the best they have
when they face their opponents in Wash
ngton.
Raftery declares he has paid no at
tention to the result of the Georgetown
Georgia Tech game. Referring to the big
score. he said II have by no means un-
iderestlmated the Georgetown team and
I have paid no attention to the result
! of the big score made by the Golden Tor
nado against the Catholics. The Cen
| erals will have a hard fight Saturday.
| Joe Silverstein. the Generals powerful
halfback, and Frank Paget, the husky
center, are still under the care of DR.
| j. w. II. Pollard, the university physi
clan, and it is doubtful whether these
men will be seen in action Saturday
Their loss will be keenly felt by the Gen
erals. Collins will probably play at cen
| ter but the coach has not indicated who
will take Slversteins place. With Ste
vens, the big halfback, in the game, the
kicking department will be well takeI
care of. The Generals suffered consid
cradle loss in the V. P. ]. and Georgia
Tech games on account of not having
Stevens with them
| With the exception of Paget, the biz
Blue and White line appears in the pinl
of condition and ready to present thu
same impregnable defense as presented
| in previous games Of the season. Ther'
! is a feeling of satisfaction here con
corning Georgetown's probable attacks
| through Washington and Lees lire. Th'
coach has spent much time in drilling
the defense to break up forward passe:
and the men have hit the dummy hare
this week. Raftery ordered, the gates
on Wilson Field closed yesterday for thu
rest of the week. He is now holding
secret practice during the day and work
| ing on new formations at night.
| The remarkable record made by the
| Generals this year has not given then
| any overconfidence. Despite the fac
/ that their goal line has not been crossed
and they have seven brilliant and decis
| i've victories to their credit, they do not
feel that they have anything on George
ttown and will go into the Saturday
game with all the pep and power in theil

! figure Alabama to beat Georgia by a
couple of touchdowns. Georgia has a
splendid line, including two good ends
but defensively they haven't thing on
Alabama, and when it comes to offense
Coach SCOTS team is second to none in
the south, not even excepting the Golden
Tornado Any team with Stevenson and
Lcnoir on it should be a dangerous scor-
ing factor. Cheeves for Georgia may be
a star broken field runner himself, but
betting by Jack Hovater and Daniel
Boone on end runs is a pretty tough
job, even with good interference, and
don't look for Cheeves to break away.
I look for Alabama to make at least
two touchdowns. l wouldn't be surprised
if she made more, but 1 would be sur
prsed if she made any less. l am per-
fectly aware too, that not a single team
has scored over one touchdown on
Georgia this season,and the Gold and
Black has played Auburn, Virginia, Tu-
lane( Sewanee and other strong elevens.
In the east the Harvard Yale battle, of
course, occupies the calcium. I am con-
WINGED that Harvard has the better team,
but am inclined to believe that Yale
will play at top form today, and l think
the former will do well to win by sin
gle touchdown. l look for close score,
with Harvard the victory.

and Illinois will decide the championship
Of the conference. I believe Ohio State,

Washington and Lee tackles George
town in Washington, and the game is
supposed to be tossup. If the Generals
don't suffer from stage fright l believe
they will beat Georgetown by IA points.
We're the game played anywhere but in
Washington, 1 couldn't see Georgetown
at all.
Down in the Pelican City, Tulane and
l.. S. Z. should put up one of the fiercest
scraps of the year. l believe the game
will be decided in the last quarter. with
Tulane winning by narrow margin.
L. S. U. has great defensive team.

NEVER BEAT CUNNINGHAM
Alabama has been scored on by only
one team, Vanderbilt. Her line has held
fast against many opponents and she has
Piled UP heavy scores on most of them.
Alabama, though, has never yet been
able to defeat team that Coach Cum
ingham put out, and if they do it this
time they will have a hard fight and a
little score.
Georgia's spirit is aroused. She is go
ing to show that to the contrary>>of all
predictions she can pull a comeback and
pull it against a strong team. When this
season opened it was generally agreed
by wise ones that didn't know what
Georgia spirit was that Georgia would
never be able to pull comeback in less
than four or five years, and that at least
for four years she would have to play
little, Insignificant teams.
Georgia has had probably the hardest
schedule of any college in the country.
Alabama has had easy games, one against
Marion, while Sewanee had hers against
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1919-11-22

Howard, and Tech hers against Wake
Forest and Camp Gordon. and Auburn
hers against Spring Hill. But not time
has Georgia had an easy game.
The Green eleven, formed at the begin
ming of this year by Coach Cunningham
and Coach Stegeman, has played won
derful football all year against good
teams and hard luck. 81 don't see how
in the world you have played SO hard a
schedule so WE'LL was Coach Suannes-
sys comment on Georgias schedule. The
Tulane coach said that in his opinion
Georgia had one of the hardest schedules
in the country, and the Red and Black
has lost but one game, and the total
number of points made against her for
the season is 21 Does this not prove
that Georgia can come back?
As has been previously announced, the
Georgians will enter the contest with
out the services of several of their var
sity men, the entire back field being made
up of men who formerly played on the
reserves, but who have won their spurs
since the injuries to the former regulars.
