NR. RYAN ACCEPTS.

On receipt Of Mr.. untermy"r', lct-
ter Allan Ryan Immediately dis
patched his reply stating that while
he would have preferred larger
share of Untermycr's personal atten-
tion he would have the statements Of
his affairs put in such shape as To re
licv" the attorneys of all unnecessary
labor and submit them to Alvin Tn
tcrmyer aud Mr.. Content
Iu a letter Mr.. Tntcrmycr pointed
out that he had been kept busy on
work for the Lockwood committee,
but that such study Of Ryan's affairs
as he had been able TO make con-
WINGED him that Mr.. Ryan's interests
required prompt and vigorous repre-
sentation.
Mr.. Untermycr stated
$50 far ] have no reason 10 question
the good win OF the banks which II
In your duty 10 assume until some
thing tPanspires that cOnsinccs you
to the contrary, although | believe
that the transaction as consummatcd ID
should in justice to you be substan-
TALLY modified"
Mr.. Untermyer stated that he hesi-
tated over accepting the representa-
tion of Allan Ryan's interest due to
the fact that it would involve his per
sonal attention during the next few
weeks unless Mr.. Ryan would consent
to his son and Mr.. Content handling
the details.
He stated the public duties on
which he is engaged he considered of
vastly greater moment to himself and
to the public than tho interests of
any one man, and that he was deter
mined that his private interests would
not interfere with them.

POST OFFICE PAYMENTS.

Postmaster General Burleson has
issued an order effective December
15, 1920, directing poatmasters a,
international offices to express the
amount of postal money orders drawn
Tor payment in Italy in dollars ana
cents only.
This action. which was taken at the
request of the Italian Postal Admin
istration, assures TO the remitters OF
orders in this country that the payces
will receive the largest possiois
amount in Italy. as the postal author
flies of that country agree to pay
the order at tho market rate on the
date that the descriptive lists OF the
orders are received at the exchange
office in Turin, and is expected TO
be popular with the patrons or the
postal service who desire to send
money to Italy, because OF the facil-
ity Of the payment of a much larger
amount in italian money than is pos
sibIe under the plan Of hxed rate
OF conversion in use heretofore.

Mr.. Kuderli said the figures of liv-

him just before sailing to America by
n relative who had returned to SwitZ-

Petrograd. General conditions in the
Russian city were described as hor-

August.
Ordinary unskilled' workers in Pet

Walkers declare that such capable men
as Adolph Arnold, Herman 0bertubes-

as judges, would have cautioned Remer

With the exception of two athletes
the style used by every walker has
been open to criticism, even George Fl.
Goulding, of Canada, who undoubtedly
was the greatest pedestrian of them

walking contests were revived in this
city, the many large fields that usually
started were invariably cut down to
half dozen by the election Of con-
testants for illegal walking.
Local followers Of athletics regard
Willie. Plant as the only athlete who
actually uses a heel and toe style

Dobie's Tactics
May Rejuvenate
Cornell Eleven
Former Navy Coach Expect.
ed to Place Ithacans With
Ranking Football Teams
By Ray Mccarthy

The signing Of Gilmour Dobie to
coach the Cornell football team has
filled the alumni Of the Ithaca institu-
tion with enthusiasm and has brought
them out of detected mood superin-
duced by the showing of last years
eleven. Cornell men are looking for
ward hopefully and with expectancy to
the gridlron campaign of the "big red
team" next fall, and it is no rash pre-
dlction that Cornell will be pretty much
in the limelight when the autumn
season swings around. Dobie, accord
ing to the report, is to arrive soon to
take charge of football affairs for the
entire year
The coming of the attenuated grid
iron mentor means that Cornell is apt
to take its place among the topnotchers
IN the fall. 1t also means that the
lthacans will have a system entirely
their own, excepting possibly the Navy,
Tor no other coach uses Dobie tactics.
Before telling of Dobe's system it
might be we'll to relate a few facts
concerning the sparsely built man who
says but little, and then in a pessimistic
vein.
Dobie is from the Far West He
gained notoriety at Washington State
University by producing winners for
twelve years. The University of De-
troit, deciding to make a splurge in
the football world, sent a call to Dobie.
He responded, but in the mean time the
Naval Academy had got the ear of the
tall one and coaxed him to Annapolis.
Turns Out Good Teams
Dobie signed for three years. He
turned out exceptionally fine teams at
the Naval Academy, but although his
contract had another year to run, the
Annapolis authorities generously re-
leased him to go to Cornell.
Dobie went to the Navy with an un-
bemished record. While at Annapolis
he was beaten but twice, once each
year, in 1918 by the Great Lakes team,
TO, although the visitors were out
last year by Georgetown, 60.
Dobie's team succeeded principally
because they are we'll grounded in the
fundamentals of the game. The man
from the West insists on having his
players handle the ball perfectly, to
form proper interference for the run
ner, to be in the right place at the
right time and, above all, to run off
their plays with neatness and dispatch.
His teams are able to get into action
in short orders because of the elm
ination of the quarterback. Quarter
back is an unknown word in Dobie's
football vocabulary His backs gen
orally line up in tandem formation and
are designated No. l, just back of the
line; No. 2, little further back; No.
and No. 4. Direct passes only ares
used
1t is not unlikely that all teams will
adopt this method in time The offense
gets more power in its drive, the backs
can get away faster and the interfer-
ence can form more quickly. All these
things the men coached by Dobie do
we'll; the Navy line in the Army game

CHARLES PORES, Americas five

good his threat to retire from COM
petition, and will not defend his title
at the indoor national championship
games scheduled week from to-
morrow night.
Within the past year Pores has
repeatedly announced his intention
to quit the cinder path only to re-
turn to competition after long per-
suasioh ON the part of his club
mates. Pores raced ON only a few
occasions during the last year, these
being chiefly in championship COM
petitions. His most recent effort
was in the Millrose A. A. carnival,
Of which club he is a member.
