New York, Dec. 6-Never in the history of Western football has the enthusiasm been greater than in the season that has just closed. Most of the games have been played before capacity crowds. Conservative esti- mates show that upwards of 100000 people have paid from $500,0O0 to $6O0,000 in admissions.
 The Conference race was fast and furious, as well as heartbreaking in spots, and it was not until Ohio and Illinois played the last game of the season, at Champaign, that a definite decision was reached, Ohio winning. This game was one of the hardest fought games of the season, and it was not over until the tinekeeper called time.
 Man for man, Wisconsin was un- questionably represented by the best team in the Conference, but notwith-

Stamford school authorities.
 Bridgeport was so conf1d lent of playing that game that plans were under way to have the struggle staged in the Yale Bowl. All day yesterday football followers in the school talked of the proposed game and the pros poets of resuming athletic relations with Stamford again.
 Trouble between the two schools came to a climax three years ago when the Girls basketball team wen to Stamford and beat the girls team of that school. After winning the girls went to the dressing room where rowdies in the Stamford school made themselves very obnoxious to the Bridgeport girls, who were forced to grab their suit cases and go to the train for Bridgeport in their bloom CTS.
 Great indignation followed the re- port of their treatment and this brought about the severance of ath- letic relations.

ALL-WESTERN CONFERENCE
 FOOTBALL TEAMS SELECTED

standing this she lost an early game to Ohio State by sheer stupidity on her side and daring bri1liancy on the part of Wilce's scrappy eleven. Vic tory for Ohio was surely deserved.
 Ohio State was represented by a team without any outstanding stars (and we are not overlooking or for getting Stinchcomb, H. Workman, Huffman, J. Taylor or Trott), but she had a team where all her men played consistent football from whistle to whistle. Their line work offensively was only fair and defensively it was good, but they proved themselves to be past-masters in the forward-pass ing game, with Workman shooting g and Stinchcomb receiving. Most, if not all their victories were the result of this passing. Long passes seemed to predominate. Either one or two things-they knew the passing end better than any other team in the Conference, or they dared to take more chances. Take your choice.

HAVE INVENTED KILN
FOR WOOD SEASONING
a True story Of Science

"a 4lAE GAbA y VI s1lltNlE~l
What is the matter with these
drawers, anyway Every time /
want a necktic. 1 nearly break M
back trying 10 pull this one open"
No one knows how much energy
has been lost, or how many sweet
dispositions soured, by bureau draw
ers that stick.
This fact does not seem 20 be
closely connected with the airplane
industry. but il is. AS a rule draw
ers that stick, like bows that will
not shoot, have been made from
unseasoned timber.
One OF the biggest problems fac
ing the government in 1917 was how
20 get good seasoned timber for air
planes. Spruce is about the only
kind OF wood that can be used
satisfactorily in airplane construc-
ton. When the government de-
cided 20 make airplanes by the tens
OF thousands, there was not nearly
enough spruce cut and dried. In
numbered mammoth trees were
growing on the fOggy mountains OF
Vancouver and Washington, but how
to turn these trees into the seasoned
timber, necessary for airplanes, was
the question.
ANY DOy WHO mas ever maze a
bow and arrow knows that the best
kind OF wood is that which has been
seasoned In a dry place in the open
air for a year or more.
But airplancs could not wait for
spruce TO season that way. Lumber
men knew that it was possible 10
season timber in kilns, but such
lumber was likely 10 shrink or swell
according to the climate. 1t would
not do.
Up in Madison. Wis. II ID. Tie
mann had been work : for years
in the Forest Service laboratories
trying TO find n way 20 season wood
more quickly and satisfactorily.
Mr.. Ticmann came forth with a
new kiln that would season lumber
thoroughly in from eight 10 Il days
Ii consists Of a closed chamber in
which the lumber is piled in a GER
tain specified way. The temperature
and humidity are regulated accord
ing TO definite rules. There is nc
guesswork about it. 1t brings re-
suits. Lumber seasoned in a Tie
mann kiln. is even more satisfactory
than lumber seasoned for a year in
the open air.
Mr.. Tiemann dedicated his inven-
ton TO public use. Now manufac-
turers of all kinds. making every
thing from furniture to ukuleles
will benefit by IT.

are supposed TO wear is rapidly
disappearing. Although the Mos

10 initiate the infidels.
