STRING ATTACHED
TO HARVARD OFFER
Willing to Play Cadets at
Cambridge, but Not at
West Point.

CAMBRIDGE Mass. Dec. 2.-Harvard
has offered West Point and Ohio State
football contests In the Stadium next
fall. In each case, however. a string Is
attached to the invitation. Major
Charles d. DAILY. coach of the Army
team, conferred this afternoon with f,
w. Moore, graduate manager of the
Harvard Athletic Association, and was
told that Harvard would be glad Il
play West Point in 1921 providing West
Point did not Insist on q return game
the following fall.
A telegram despatched to Ohio STATE
Western Conference champions. held out
the same offer. On the trip to the coast
last fall Coach Fisher spoke favorably
of home and home games with such
teams as Illinois and Chicago. Evident
~ his ideas on the subject did not meet
the approval of the athletic authorities
here or. more than likely. the faculty,
always a bugbear to athletic trips away
from home. have opposed such trip.
II Is known that the faculty was d.
vlded last fall when n came to con-
slider the coast trip. and that In reality
n majority OF the board was opposed to
such an undertaking. but grudgingly
gave in when graduate sentiment for
the trip proved too strong.
Williams and Virginia have been
dropped from next falls schedule. A
game however. has been clinched with
Center College which, although de-
feated. showed TO good advantage In the
Stadium this season.

MINERS STARVING ON HIGHEST WAGE
 IN MINE HISTORY

COLUMBUS. June 17.-George w. Savage, secretary-treasurer of the Ohio Coal Mine Workers, has issued statement in which he de- clares that the coal miners of Ohio are starving, notwithstanding the fact that they are receiving the highest wages ever paid them.
 Savage names several districts where the men have been averaging only one days work a week, owing to the shortage of coal cars, and his statement severely criticises the interstate commerce commission for it's failure to so regulate traffic as to insure more equitable distribu- tion of rolling stock. Some of the mines are operating full time, he says, while others are being dis criminated against. Those mines which supply the railroads with coal are the ones most favored.
