 Men Into Shape

Ithaca, N. Y, September 26.-(Spe- cial)-Witih the first game of the sea son that with the University of Roches- ter. less than week away, the Cornell football squad of seventy-five men is developing satisfactorily under the skillful drilling of Gilmour Dobie, Cor nells new coach, and by the time the university opens next Thursday much of the Fundamental work common to all preliminary drills will have been ac- complished before university schedules and classroom work restricts the op- portunity for daily practice.
 VARSITY NOT SELECTED
 The second week of practice closed Saturday without a varsity team hav- ing been selected, but with Dobie hav- ing a pretty accurate line on the best material available this fall. Much of it Is green, and the squad as whole lacks the big men Dobie would like to see on the field. It is probable that the group of candidates of little foot ball experience may develop one or more men of versity calilber, and Dobie means to keep the lists open until ev- cry man has had a thorough try-out. Hence the team that will play Roches- ter in next Saturdays opener Is hardly likely to be the team that will play the big games later on. Cornell's full strength may not be uncovered until the Colgate game on October 23, or pos billy not until even later, perhaps the Dartmouth game November at the Polo Grounds New York city.
 LINE CANDIDATES
 Among the leading candidates for the various positions are: Ends, T. D. Finn, E. H. Hoff and J. B. Wilson of last years varsity; David P. Munns. from last years freshman eleven; W. V. Cum neen, who was second string end last fall
 The line of candidates who are likely to be heard from are: Charles L. Bray ton, center on last years freshman team. and s. B. Horrell, center on last years varsity; F. s. Pendleton, guard on last years varsity: J. P. McClain, 8 substitute guard last year; A. c. Lech- Ter, new player guard or tackle; E. S. Erickson. who was backfield candi- date last year; George I. Brayman, a the first time. Besides these, there are a number of other fairly heavy men who may develop.
 BACKFIELD MEN
 The leading backs include c. Mayer. halfback on last years varsity; w. D. Carey, quarterback and captain of last years freshman eleven; H. A. Jewett. who played a second string tackle po- sition last year; E. L. Kaw, fullback on last years freshman team; G. P. Lech- Ter, second string halfback last fall: J. D. Dunleavy, one of last years squad backs, and c. Livingston, who played on the varsity in several games last fall.

SUBSTITUTE WOULD
 KILL PREFERENTIAL
 RATES IN ALABAMA
Not Only Annuls Existing Rates But Provides Penalty Against Those Preferring One h.
 duStry Over Another
By FRED H. GORMLEY
 Montgomery Bureau The Age-HeraId
 22i-1 Eiraf Nati nttfld

Montgomery, September 26.-(Spe- cia1.) .)-Preferentia railroad rates which have been in existence in Alabama since 1907 and under which large industries have been built, especially in the Bir- mingham district, will cease to exist if the legislature accepts the substi- ute for Section 13 of the new trans portation bill which was reported by the house judiciary committee Friday and will be on the calendar for con sideration during this week.
 Not only does the bill absolutely an null all existing preferential rates, but it provides a penalty of from s100 to s10,00o against any company which prefers one industry over another and permits the state to recover the amount in any civil court
 For many months companies in the Birmingham district which operate fur naces have made a fight before the public service commission against cer- tain rates on coal, coke, iron ore and limestone, insisting that the railroads made an unwarranted increase in the rates under a misconstruction of the general order of the director general of railroads permitting an increase in transportation rates. The bill now pending will discontinue the fight If the substitute for Section13 is accepted The substitute received the unanimous support of the Judiciary committee
 Under the old law the railroads had the right to establish preferential rates, in other words, rates lower than those granted to the general public for the transportation of the same commodities, with the consent of the public service commission The argument in favor of the preferential rates was that they would foster and build new industries in Alabama.
 ALL PREFERENCES PROHIBITED
 The new transportation act as drawn not only permitted the continuance of the prefertntial rates, but gave the pub- lie service commission authority to or der the railroads to establish other rates, provided there was no discrimi- nation between companies operating in the same zones. But Section 13 as amended by the committee cancels the preferences and prohibits them in the future.
 Section 13 as it will exist in the bill if the two houses accept the recommenda- tion of the committee will be as fol- lows:
 Any transportation company or any agent or officer thereof who shall di- rectly or indirectly or by special rate, rebate, drawback or by means of false billing. false classification, false weigh
