Backfeld Star Has Heavy

of Victory Over Oregon

BOSTON, Dec. 20.-Harvard Univer-
sity's football expedition to the Pa
clfic Coast set out to-day, amid the
cheering of several hundred under
graduates who crowded the South Ter
minal station. The men who will meet
the University of Oregon eleven at Pas

eve are in fine form to play our
best, and we expect that will be good
enough to win," said Captain Billy
Murray.
Eddie Casey, the Crimson's star back,
started the trip with a rather heavy
cold, but otherwise the Crimson team
as it left to meet Oregon was better
prepared to present its full strength
than it was against Yale.
The injured shoulder of<Ralph Hor-
ween. plunger and punting member of
the backfield, has healed; Desmond, the
end rush, who entered the Yale game
with an injured knee. Is again fit, and
the team generally has benefited by
the let-up in training.
G. A. Clark, the bulky guard, is not
making the trip, but several able sub
stitutes are available. Twenty three
players were in the party, as follows:
Jack Desmond, Joe Ryan, Morris Phin-
ney, Percy Steele, Robert Sedgwick,
Keith Kane, Henry Faxon, Wynant Hub
bard, Tom Woods, Fiske Brown, Char
ley Thorndike, Charley Havemeyer,
Arnold and Ralph Horween, Captain
Murray, Eddie Casey, Dick Humphrey,
Nils Nelson, Arthur Hamilton, Babe

and Fred Church.

squad: Bob Fisher, Ned Mahan, Dick

Wilmington and Sam FELTON,; as we'll as
Fred Fred Moore. graduate manager; Dick
higgins, undergraduate manager; Mat
thew Luce, faculty representative. and
DR.. T. M. Richards, club physician.
Fearing that the six days of Pullman
car riding and numerous elevations,
shifts and climatic changes might
soften the players, Trainer "Pooch"
Donovan outlined a program Of special
exercises for the journey. Besides the
indoor exercises, nineteen stops will
be available for brief outdoor runs.
Harvard graduates and friends along
the route will turn out in numbers to
greet the players.
PASADENA, Cal, Dec. 2O.--The Uni
versity of Oregon football team ar
rived here to-day and Immediately be-
gan practice for their game New
Years Day with the Harvard eleven.
Although the Oregon team tied the
University of Washington for the Pa
cIfic Coast intercollegiate champion
ship, each winning three games and
losing one, the Oregonians were con-
sldcred by experts to have made the
better showing during the season.
Washington State College defeated
Oregon z to 0, and was itself beaten
by the University of Washington. z to
0, But Oregon inflicted "a to l3 de-
feat upon the University of Washing

Oregon the ledge"

Money and Sport

An old-tme college football star who later took up
professional football and then wrestling tells US how
he amassed fortune Of $250o0O in the course of eight
or ten years, the bulk of it from wrestling.
Ihls brings up the point as to which sport brings
the champion and the average contender the greatest
returns.
There isn't any question but that boxing leads nv
wide margin. Willard got 100000 for nine minutes
This is as much Ty Cobb can earn in five seasons
embracing over seven hundred ball games.
Dempsey will get 100000 for his next champion

half million dolers in the next two or three years,
unless he is beaten in a hurry
Benny Leonard has made 100000 in the last year.

BUILDING ASSOCIATIONS REPORT
INCREASED DEMAND FOR LOANS
FAR IN EXCSSS OF 1918 TOTAL

To obtain information regarding the
present condition of building and loar
associations in all parts of the country
and to ascertain the sentiment in. re-
gard to the establishment of Federal
Home Loan Banks, the U. S. Depart
ment of labor recently sent out a
questionnaire, the returns from which
contain valuable information on the
building situation.
According to the QUESTIONABLE re-
turns. sixty-three per cent of the
Associations are now being offered
more business than at this period of
last year. Many of the reports show
increases of from ten to fifteen hum
dred per cent over 1919 in the volume
of business.
Forty per cent of the Associations
report that ordinary receipts are in
sufficient to supply the demands for
desirable loans. One half or more of
the Association in the States of Con-
necticut Michigan, Nevada, New Jer-
sey. North Carolina, Oklahoma. Penn

to be THUS hampered. The opposition

Bank measure. which Is designed to

ses and thus to meet increased de-
mands for loans, Is comparatively
slight. less than ten per cent of the
associations dueried having opposed
the plan, many of the adverse opinions
having been accompanied by the ad,
mission that the exact object of the
Federal Home Loan Banks was not
understood.

q reply from the applied wire depart

say the matter was receiving attention

The next minute was from gentle

they had paper clips, wire, as well as
paper clips, brass, in stock. They
