Penn State, Illinois, Centre
and Oregon Hailed as
Sectional Title Holders
By Ray Mccarthy

Penn State in the East; Illinois in
the Middle West; Centre College in
the South, and the University of Oregon
in the Far West, stand out as the best
teams Of the unusual and remarkable
1919 football season. Of these Centre
College was the only eleven that did
not suffer defeat and is the only ag-
gregation that can claim the cham
pionship of its section without fear
Of dispute. Each of the others named
struck n snag during the seasons
course; in fact, every college team in
the country except four was struck
down at least once during the grand
fall melee.
Harvard, Stevens Tech, Centre Col
lege and Notre Dame were the only
elevens which did not feel the sting of
defeat during the 1919 campaign. Har-
ward, however, had comparative Y
light schedule. and in one of its few
hard games, that with Princeton, the
Crimson was rather fortunate in get
ting a tie. By spirited rally in the
last few minutes of play the Cam bridge
students managed to rush the ball over
for touchdown and 1910 tie.
Early indications were given of what
was to be expected during this first
postwar football season when soon
after the teams got under way Boston
College rolled into New Haven one fire
October dav. and downed the Blue by
S to 5 score. That same day Syracuse
startled the football world by plaster
ing the Pittsburgh Panth ers, the
famous Glenn Warner machine, which
had gone along for four years bowling
them all over
After that they came fast and thick.
until the football experts were dizzy
and Keeling from the rapidity Of start
ling upsets.
BY the middle of the season these
upsets. coupled with several other con-
tributing factors, had combined to
create unbounded enthusiasm for the
great collegiate game, and it was at
of this topsy -turvy whirling gridiron
season that it was one of the greatest,
financially and otherwise, in the history
of the sport.
Of course, long before the start had
been made in the various schedules it
was felt that 1919 would be a humdinger
of a football feast But as in the
other postwar sports nobody was
ready for such an overwhe lining sue
cess as arrived so suddenly and with
such impetus.
Indirectly the great war was the
cause of it all. The horrors and the
worry of the conflict over. the great
American public turned with it's dollars
in hand to amusement and entertain
ment. The people Of the United States
began celebrating the day Of the arYnis-
tice. and they haven't stopped yet. This

Nine-Tenths of Players
To Get New Contracts

CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-New contracts
for the 1920 season must be proffered
approximately 80 per cent of the reeu-
ar players on major league baseball
clubs, expert followers of the game
said here to-day. That condition, with
the increased interest displayed in the
national pastime, they said. probably
will result in a number OF players fol-
lowing Babe Ruth the Boston Ameri-
can pitcher and outfielder, in demands
Tor increase salaries.
Retrenchments effected for the
period after the war, when the owners
expected to be confronted with les
sened interest in aseball, led TO many
one-year contracts being made. Long
time contracts for a number of stars
terminated With the last season Some
of the players are said to hold that
with the owners obtaining greater
patronage larger salaries can be paid. :

one game in twenty-three contests;
this to Ferdham, in ten innings.
Fcrdham later was beaten by teams
which Holy Cross had defeated.
Among the other teams which
showed good records at the close Of
Ire season were Brown, Fordham,
Cornell, Yale, Harvard, Navy and
Princeton. Holy Cross, which the
previous year Rad sent Ryan, a
pitcher. to the Giants, this year sent
Statz and Bowen, two fine yourg
outfeldcrs, to the New York club,

ashington. Other stars were Fitz-
patrick, of Boston College, pitcher;
Coke, of Yale, pitcher; Sawyer, of

is the brightest ever.

CORN ADVANCE
General View of Bears That Strike
Has Been Discounted Before
Hand Helps Market.

Chicago, Sept 22.-Corn prices
moved upward today as a result of
covering by shorts, who took the
position that the bearish effects OF
the steel strike had been discount
ed before hand. Strength OF prices
in the hog market and in Wall
street tended also to lift corn val
ues. Trade was not large. Open
ing figures, which ranged from the
same as Saturdays close to 11sc
higher with December 1925 to
1.23 and May 1,21 to 1.21h were
followed by a slight reaction and
then by a substantial upturn all
around.
Oats assembled with corn. After
opening unchanged to 15c higher,
including December at CSC, the
market sagged a little and then
rose higher than at first.
Provisions were governed by the
action OF grain and hogs. Initial
prices, though, showed weakness
owing to considerable scattered
selling.
Later, there was persistent buy
ing for commission houses. Offer
ings were light and further gains
ensued. The market closed strong.

Proposed Naturalization Scheme
May Split Coalition Govern
ment Observers Fear.

London, Aug. 15.-(Correspond-
ence of Associated Press Belief
is held by some political observers
that the parliamentary battle over
the proposed naturalization OF
mines and railways may split the
coalition government of Great Bri-
tain.
The coal magnates are trying to
rally the mine owners to defend
their rights and the whole principle
of private ownership of under
earth deposits is at stake.
The government Eas an arrange
ment by which Lord Cowdray's ex-
perts are exploring for oil, and the
Labor party and many Liberals
propose that the government shall
deny any right of private owner
ship in oilfields.
A hundred members of the coali-
ton in the house of commons have
protested to the prime minister
against the transport bill. This
bill gives the new minister of
transport, Sir Eric Geddes, control
over highways, road transport, rail-
ways, tramways, docks, canals and
coastwise shipping. It is now pro-
posed to add electric power.
Makes Dictator, Foes Charge.
Sir Eric claims that the ministry
will have no greater authority than
the board of trade formerly held.
Opponents charge that the bill
makes him a dictator with far
more power than Secretary Nc
AdoO had in the United States as
direCtor-general of railroads, and
that his Office might make and
wreck industries and communities
A powerful phalanx of interests
is against naturalization. These
include the coal and electric COM
panies. The Westminster Gazette
thinks the combination will have
no real weight unless ready with
a definite alternative policy Many
observers believe the interests"
will subside gracefully before the
food OF public opinion
