NORTHEAST SHOWS
POWER IN DEFEAT
cIiveden Coach Says Lack of
Practice and Loss Of Tutor
Costly to Archives
LOST TO CLIVEDENS, A-13

Northeast Highs basketball team
will bear watching in its future games
this season. The team has had only n
few days practice, and has not been
able to get its passing game down to
perfection as yet" This statement was
made by Coach Dawson, of German
town High School, shortly after the
Clivedens had defeated Northeast, A.
10, in it's opening lntcrscholastic League
basketball game yesterday afternoon.
Then, too" continued the Green
and White tutor, "the Archives have
been forced to practice without their
coach. Mr.. Gerney, who has charge Of
the Red and Black five and has been i'll
for some time; that accounts in a large
way for their poor showing today.
"Mr. Gcrney, by the way, will not be
able to take over the affairs of the team
until the end of the week. The doctor
has ordered him to stay away from his
athletes until that time, and he didn't
even see the game today"
The work Of ISL" Lungren, captain
elect Of tile 1922 football team, wns the
feature of the game. The stocky center
made six goals from field during tn,
fuss. and completely outplnycd Gerson
! Northcast's acting captain.
! Gene Barrett, captain of last year.
| baseball team and captain elect OF th,
nine this season, also played II wonder
ful game. Barrett stuck to HIS men nj
the time, and neither Blanchi nor Hell
mich, who took his place, was able t,
register point. Barrett also made
wonderful shot from behind the center
mark.
Burley. Germantown captain, prove,
that he is one of the best forwards il
the league. The youngstcr netted fouI
! field goals, and managed to drop ter
ont Of eighteen free tosscs into til,
basket.

For luck plays a tremendous part T.
footballs annual drama, we'll past tha
average idea along these lines. '
There IS not only the luck of o..
play itself, but the luck of injuries and md
condition.
Princeton, for example, gets Iouri,
and Garrity- hurt in the first gamo
and with the finest prospects in Nasson,
history whole year goes upon tbo
shoals. For as Lourie and Garritv ra'
turn, Keck and Wittmer fade out
Harvard had from four to six vooa
men constantly on the limping Iist
while both Penn State and Pittsbur,S
we're hard hit. Not to forget Rohert'
son, of Dartmouth, and French, Of
West Point.
The Play Itself
TT MAY be charged that this tu,,
i doesn't go for the play itself. Bpt
| il does.
"I recall certain game" remarked
| Fielding Yost, where we played fn.
football the first two periods, outplay.
ing our opponents by a wide margin
| Inc HCOSB III LIt VI lIp half
was 90. We were not quite so eood
IN the last two periods, yet we ran uD
81 points"
I'm the first half every break was
against us. In the second half every
break came our way. This difference
was good for 81 points in two periods
1t is quite possible for n team to be
badly outplayed, out rushed, out.
kicked and out t-tackled, yet win"
Nothing could be truer.
Yale clearly outplayed Princeton, due
in part at least to the physical detection
Of Keck, Wittmer and Stinson.
Yet If Gilroy, as he came within n
flash Of doing, had gotten away with
that last long pass Princeton would
have won.
This Is not meant to suggest that
luck rules the sportive destiny Of the
race. But it plays star ro,c at times,
which means that too frequently too
much credit is given the winner and
too little credit is given the beaten,
Often when adulation is heaped upon
one side, with criticism piled upon tho
other, the laughter of the gods must be
resonant and long.

Washington.-The French govern

ing mandates, is understood to have
expressed substantial agreement with
the American government contention
that the United States has surrendered
none of its rights in the former Ger.
man overseas possessions through its
failure to become party to the treaty
of Versailles.
The French reply was received, but
whether it will be made public has not
yet been diclosed. 1t was described in
official circles as a formal response
from the French foreign office.
The reply from Great Britain also
received was no more than an acknowl,
edGement Of the receipt of the Amer
Jean communication. it was learned.
This serves to strengthen the opinion
in some official and diplomatic circles
that Great Britain would exchange
views with Japan before making a
final response.
France, in its reply to Mr.. Hughes,
Is understood to have reiterated its
expression of hope that the Yap man
date question may be settled by direct
negotiation between the United States
and Japan without involving that coun-
try as principal to the controversy.
Since the dispatch of the American
notes state Department officials have
made it clear that there is no d6sEosi-

regard to the application of the prin.
ciple laid down by Mr.. Hughes. 1t has

OKLAHOMA VICTOR
IN OIL LAND FIGHT
WINS FIRST BIG POINT IN SU-
PREME COURT IN SUIT WITH
TEXAS.
OLD TREATY IS UPHELD
Property Valued At $2o0,ooo,ooo In
volved in Decision-South Bank
of River Remains Boundary
Between Two States.

hington.-Oklahoma. won in the
supreme court the first big point in
her suit with Texas for jurisdiction
over valuable Red River oil fields.
In an opinion which was unanimous
except that as Associate Justice Clarke
took no part, the court held that the
south bank of the Red river must be
taken as the true boundary between
Texas and Oklahoma from the south
eastern corner of the latter state to
the point where the river crosses the
Tooth meridian of longitude More
than 1000 miles of boundary were per-
manently fixed by the decision
The court based its findings specif-
ically on the terms of the treaty sign
ed in 1919 between the United States
and Spain, which "consummated the
Louisiana purchase That document,
it held, affirming its own decision in
the case Of United States VS.. Texas set
the south bank of the river as the true
boundary
Delimitation Of the exact location of
the south bank" was postponed until
the entering of the formal decree
which will be promulgated it was an
nounced, within the next 80 days. I'M
til this decree is made public those
interested will be little better off than
before the decision. according to per-
sons familiar with the territory in dis
pute as the river is extremely wide
and shallow along practically its en-
: tire length. a..
The contention that the evidence
and argument in the Greer county
case Omitted States VS.. Texas) raised
no controversy as to whether the
boundary followed the mid-channel or
the south bank is not well founded, ''
Associate Justice Pittner, who read
the courts decision, said. "The treaty
of 1919 and mass of historical data
atearing upon its proper interpreta-
tion were before the courtroom ex-
cerpts between the secretary of state.
John Quincy Adams, and the Spanish
minister, it appeared that the question
whether the boundary should follow
the middle of the Sabine and Red
rivers or the westerly bank Of the
former and the southerly bank Of the
latter, was one Of the points under
discussion; the Spanish minister pro
posing the middle lines, Mr. Adams
the banks"
The opinion then recited that among
Adams memoirs was found the state
ment that the objection of Spain to
making the banks instead of the cen
ter Of the stream. the boundary was
finally abandoned.

MINERS FACING STARVATION.
Unemployed Miners Grow in Numbers
Every Day.

Birmingham, Ala.-Forty thousand
men, women and children-m miners and
their families are facing starvation in
Alabama as a result Of unemployment
and the withdrawal OF relief funds by
the United Mine Workers of America,
according to a statement by ]. R. Ken.

embraces all the coal fields of this ter
ritory.
Il might sum up the whole situation
with the one word serious" the dis
trict official declared.
The list Of unemployed miners is
growing daily, Mr. Kennamer stated.
According to his statement, many of
the mines with which the union held
contracts and which were not affected
by the strike are closing down for lack
Of orders. Other mines which employ
nonunion men are operating with linn
tied forces or shutting down entirely,
he said.
The plight of many families is de
scribed as pitiable.

STEALS TONS OF MEAT.
Chicago Bandit Also Gets Away With
Truck.

Chicago.-In olden times Robin
Hood broke the law by killing the
kings deer in the royal forests, but
Robin was a piker. The modern
Robin Hood waits until the meat has
been dressed and then steals it, along
with the truck upon which it is being
transported.
William Greignoit, a driver for the
Boyd-Lunham Company, drove out of
their yards with 5000 pounds of very
choice meat on his truck The neat
was valued at $4,000 and the truck
fully as much
Just as Greignoit reached down to
shift his gears, lone bandit, armed
with an automatic pistol, leaped on
board the truck and forced Greignoit
to drive to a sparsely settled district
on the south side. There he threw
the driver off and sped away.
Five days ago driver for Roberts
& Oakes was held up in the same To-
caIity and meat worth $4,000 and the
truck were stolen.
