PAINTERS AND BULLDOGS
 FINISH OFF TRAINING

Both Birming Southern and How ard college eleyens finished off hard training for their annual clash, which comes off Saturday, and today and to- morrow will be spent in light work outs of the teams.
 Both teams have strong, slashing backfields and it will probably be a duel between the offensive machines of the two eleyens. Towards line Is out weighed by the Partners and is also second in matter of experienced lines men. There's plenty of fight and pep to make up for the lack of poundage, however, and Towards line should not be outclassed by the Panthers'
 Both coaches have practically wound up an extensive training programme for their charges and both squads are pronounced to be in almost perfect trim for the clash Saturday, a clash which means everything to the two schools

W. & l.. TEAM TO
 ONLY WIN OVER VIRGINIA

There is one distinction that no other Washington and Lee football player ex- cept Streit can claim. Washington and Lee has defeated University of Virginia only once. although the seleyens of the two institutions have met on the grid iron in many engagements. In 1908 Bill Streit was captain of the Washington and Lee eleven, and it was in that year that the Generals defeated University of Virginia. Thus Bill Streit led the Gen erals to their only victory over yir- iginia, feat which Is no mean one at all.
 Sandwiched in between football sea- sons, Streit competed in various athletic events showing up sespecially well in the weight throwing contests.
 Soon after his college years, Bill Streit became connected with the Bir- mingham Athletic club as competitor, that is, he participated in athletic meets as 9 representative of the E. A. C. His weight throwing ability and slcill at other amateur athletics made him 2 valuable man for the E. A. c.

SPORT BRIEFS
CENTRAL AND BESSEMER
 MEETING THIS AFTERNOON
By MARVIN MCCARTHY

Two of the b:s sgest high schools in the state are meeting here this after noon in one of the most important prep contests of the season. On the outcome , of the battle today may depend the state championship. while its local i'm n- portance alone makes it well worth while.
 Central and Bessemer have had a rocky time this year. and the fact that both teams have preserved through to the end and are now finishing off one of their most successful seasons. points with emphasis to the excellence of the management of the athletic affairs of the two schools.
 At the first of the season it was beginning to look as if Bessemer would have to drop two or three of it's most important games, but all difficulties were patched up and the Tigers have had clear sailing, Central. also. had a little schedule trouble, as we'll as minor difficulties, all of which were smoothed over.
 As the day dawns for the annual bat tie interest In the game among local fans continues to rise. A great crowd should see the ancient rivals battle for the victory this afternoon.
 As usual the supporters of the
 two teams will occupy different
 sections of the bIcachers and it will
 be another ease of mass of solid
 purple against mass of solid
 crimson in m attempt to drown
 out the others yelis. In addition,
 two separate bands may be there
 to furnish music and racket to the
 general confusion.

OIL
EXPERT COMING
Sir John Cadman' S Visit to!
u. S. May Presage New
Understanding.
Special Gable Dispatch to
The washington Herald.

LONDON, Dec. 5.-Sir John Cad
man, petroleum adviser to the Brit
ish government and an expert on
Mesopotamian oil. has sailed for the
United States to consult with the
British Ambassador. Sir Auckland
Geddes. Inasmuch as Sir John was
one of the men chiefly responsible
for the drafting of the famous San
Reno secret oil agreement between
France and England. his visit to
Washington is considered to be a
move by the British government to
come to an understanding with the
State Department on world oil
policy.
Sir John Cadman Is Great Brit
aims leading authority on oil, haV-
ing been a member OF the royal
commission which first reported to
the government on the Persian oil
fields.
Expressing his views on the Mes
opotamian oil fields and British
policy. Sir John said before sailing:
1T is true that the greatest pro-
ducer Of oil today is absorbing more
and more Of her own supply, and it
behooves us to look around to see
in the most friendly way from
whence we are gcing to be served
when the United States finds IL diff
ficult to supply US, and we, too, are
calling for more and more of that
vital product. On this difficult ques-
ticn can only say that Great Brit
ain Is only too sensible of what she
owes to those who have Kept her so
well supplied in the past to adopt
| any attitude other than that of
! strict impartiality and fairness"
Sir John probably has been select
ed for this mission because he re-
fleets the opinion of those in this
country who do not wish to exclude
America From participating in oil
discoveries or their development in
Mesopotamia' and the British do
min.ons. 20:
That Sir John. on the other hand
does not reflect the opinion of the
| exclusionists and that they. today
! have great influence with the Brit.
ish cabinet is evident by the policy
| of the present government in main
| tanning a blockade of Mesopotamis
| against all American observers.
The Standard Oil Company re-
| Gently had two representatives In
England who we're prohibited from
entering Mesopotamia' by the Brit.
ish officials. and sil efforts of the
American government to send off,
| cial representatives to Mesopotamis
have met with. refusal from the
British government.
