Win and Lose

Craig returned footballund basket
ball games with Meeker last Saturday
on the local grounds. Craig was Grip
pied by the loss of two Of their bsst
men. Craig kicked of to Meeker and
the local team fumbled the ball and
Craig took possession. Craig got away
and In the first five minutes made .
touchdown and kicked the goal. Craig
again recovered tumble and made =
good gain and by crooked decissloh
OF the referee (Crnis's of cOurse) they
made another touch down but failed to
kick the gOal.
From then on Meeker team played
real football and the ball was In Craig
territory most OF the game. Meeker
made some good gains OH forward
passes. Two perfect passes were drop
ped by the ends one OF which would
have been certain goal.
The final score was 13 to 0 In favor
of Craig.
The basket bnll game was a differ
cnt story and very different one.
Craig made the first score on free
throw hut did not keep the lead long
The Mcckcr girls did not run up big
score In the first of the game as In
Craig few weeks ago. Tho first quar-.
ter ended with the score to 5 In the
second quarter Mecker held Craig to
a o score and raised their score to 10
In the second half Alecker came to
life and began to pile up the tallies
until the end Of the game while Craig
was held to 3 points In the second half
The final score was 90 to 8 In favor Of
Mcekcr.
The game WINS rough mud dirty one
MS the court was very dusty. While
'vcral Of the girls got sore we feel
thcy all got over 1t after the game.
The Mcekcr girls can justly claim the
Northwestern slope championship this
year.
The champion team In as follows:
Captain-Grctta Crawford for.
Ruby GrcgOry-fOrward
Alice .Iones-jumplng center
Esther WliartOn-runnlng center
Beatrice Wils0n-guard
: Vetta Belleville-guarl
We feel that the Craig eleven are
Untitled to the honor Of northwestern
championship In football this year
having won 3 games and lost none.
Meeker had good team but lacked
the proper coaching for Its weight and
speed but we feel they are paving 4
way for good team next year.
From the three schools playing At
Mccker this year we would pick the
following as the hest team from the
three elcvens.

Ohio OTIS Dividend.

Because of the need for conserving
the liquid resources of the company. the
directors OF the Ohio Oil Company have
cut its extra quarterly disbursement for
the current quarter from s2.75 to Si.25.
Its regular dividend of s1.25 share
also was declared. Both disbursements
are to be paid on June 30 to stock Of
record on May 2S. The company has
just made an extensive purchase Of
leases and property in Louisiana which
required an outlay Of several million
dollars. ]. c. Donnell. president of the
company said IN commenting on the
lower extra dividend. lie added that
demand for crude oil had slackened to
such an extent that his company was
running large part Of It's crude into
storage. to say nothing OF the heavy
expenditures in purchasing oil currently
from producers in districts in which Il
operated. In view of those conditions
the .company's directors deemed IL eX-
pedient to conserve the liquid resources
OF the company until the general oil
situation should improve.

FINANCIAL NEWS
AND COMMENT
Stock Market Tone Weak,
Trading Fairly Large and
Net Losses Small.

The movement to discount possible
dividend reductions or omissions in rail-
road and other stocks continued in yes
terday's two hour session in the New
York Stock Exchange, during which pro-
fessionals ruled the trading. Except In
the case of American Linseed. which
sold more than five points below Fri
days close. the net losses were not
severe. Nevertheless. all but one or
two more active issues are recorded in
the lower price column. The volume OF
trading was fairly large for Saturday.
but there was little excitement in con-
nection with the declines In market
values. Two or three new lows for the
year were made, and altogether the tone
was weak. in contrast to the stock mar
ket, there were sharp advances In wheat.
The foreign exchange mart was dull and
firm. There were no financial develop
ments during the day to affect stock
prices one way or another, the market
still feeling the effects of the deferred
Chesapeake and Ohio dividend and the
tltfT1IdtlOH Oh lnc uiNiiCllt Al
though attacks OF bear raiders were
more or less successful, 1t could not be
said that transactions were significant
of "a definite trend, and 1t is possible
that a sufficiently large short interest
has been created to permit sharp ad-
vances this week in the event that news
of large constructive import be devel-
oped.
Another deficit In the New York
Clearing House bank reserve position
was disclosed the natural result OF too
great zeal in the reduction of bank bor-
rowings from the Reserve Bank. Those
deficits, however lose their significance
In view of the ease with which member
banks may obtain rediscounts at the
Reserve Bank An item which may
prove to be of Importance marketwise

Less Revenue for Roads

Figures compiled by the Interstate

Public Sells Railroad Shares.

The effect of the deferring of the
Chesapeake and Ohio dividend on the
trading public was rather surprising
according to reports obtained yester'
day from various commission houses
Traders interpreted the deferrine Of
the dividend actual passing and ex'
hbited a much more frightened atti-
tude toward railroad shares as a result
than they did when the adverse Penn
sylvania dividend action was announced.
Wire houses were put in rather bad
light as a result of that situation be-
cause many Of them had been advising
their customers to buy rail stocks on
the theory that any upward move prob
ably would be led by that department.

of their brokers in that respect are
