Too Expensive.

Interesting Angle
Of Football Year

Another angle to collegiate football
has turned up. Eight Of Pennsyl-
.yania's football team have left college
without their degrees, preferring to
battle with the cold hard world than
to stay out of their year in the Phil
adelphia institute and get their de-
grees. In other words, 1t looks as IL
these men merely stayed out the foot
ball season, and then failed in their
duty to finish their college course.
Although the rule was passed with
out much opposition, it now develops
that IN several Of the institutions more
authority is needed to revoke letters,
than a mere agreement among ath-
leic directors. At Michigan, for in
stance, 1t is said the letters are award
ed to athletes by virtue Of the power

the future and ignore the violators
in the past, yet it is impossible to pun
ish those who offended in the past be-
cause the rule adopted was not retro

interests were the most interested in
the new lew, but their representatives
turned their backs on cases of the past

ASKS ALL TO HELP
With THE CENSUS
Much Complaint That Fair.
mont Folk Haze Not
Been Counted.

Mayor Conway has issued a proc
lamation asking all persons who have
not been visited by the census taker
to report to him If they are unable to
find the proper person to take the
record. Managers OF hotels and room
ing houses are asked to help make the
census report here a success in volun-
teering information regarding persons
who have not been visited.
Much complaint has been voiced re-
garding the fact that many have not
pen visited in the city especially well
known business men who have COM
pared experience on the matter. The
cold weather makes it difficult for
census people to get around especially
over the hilly streets when the walks
are covered with ice. For this reason
when people are not at home 1t is
much additional trouble to get back
again. Neighbors are asked to give
the information to the census. takers
when they know accurately the ques-
tions to be asked
When in doubt about this, the mayor
asks that he be given the information
so that 1t may be sent to the census
authorities.

The directors went on record as favor
ing the diversion of gias coal rather
than having the issuance Of export

generally at Curtis Bay was discussed
as was the car shortage.
1t Is reported that the railroads
have several thousand cars in this part
OF the country which. are loaded with
Stag. The members will be asked II
they would be willing to unload the
Stag on their property. SO far the
railroads have not said hat thoy

Empttes Tied Up. T.
Empties are tied up al the Chicago,
st. Louis and Toledo gateways accord
ing to information received in the

a factor in tying up the movement OF
empties, 1t Is reported.
Play for More Cars.
Effort is being made by the Nation
al Coal Association through the Unit
ed States railroad administration to
have the 100 per cent car supply in,
the anthracite regions eqmllized so
that the bituminous districts would Sc
URGE their share of these cars. AT the
present time bituminous mines all over
country are sharing but 60 per cent
car supply.
If this move were accomplished it
would mean an additional $4,000 cars
a week in the eastern car pool, which
would guarantee better car supply
to the mines OF Western Pennsylva-
ia, western Maryland and northern
West Virginia.
