Cotton Mill Projects.
In n bulletin issued by the chamber
yesterday, information was given rel
alive to cotton textile mill projects In
Texas ~ follows;
For the past two years there has
been manifested a very keen interest
on the part Of Texas business men
and community organizations, in the
possibilities Of the cotton textile mill
industry in this state. This organiza-
tion has recently issued a very con-
else, comprehensive report summar-
izing the information that we have
obtained in regard TO this industry.
Until recently il seemed that the
present price Of mill machinery and
equipment was prohibitive but be
lieving that possibly the machinery
manufacturers could be induced TO
give our people some concession when
the understood that the development
in this State was being delayed as a
result Of present prices, we undertook
a campaign among the more respon-
sible dealers and machinery people TO
determine just what their attitude
would be toward a request for early
cuts.
without exception every manu-
facturer advised US that machinery
will be substantially lower in price |
this fall than il is at present. In ev-
cry instance the suggestion that COM
munities and individuals interested In |
mill projects should begin now on or
ganization plans was made"
Hog Raising Urged.
In connection with the crop diver
sifcation, increased attention to the /
raising Of feeder and stocked hogs is
advocated by the chamber. In this
connection the bulletin says:
I'm cooperation with the A. and
NJ. College Extension Service, the Fl.
Worth Stock Yards Company and
other agencies, the Texas Chsmber
Of Commerce is now making plans
for an extensive campaign among the
business men and commercial organi-
cations Of the State, 60 bring to their
attention the opportunities the agri-
cultural interests Of Texas now have
in the production Of hogs. II is be-
Iieved that inasmuch as Texas farm
ers viii have produced, this year, an
large crop Of feed stufrs, il
viii be necessary for them 20 create

Invite Navy Grew

Graduation Makes Practical
Keeping Varsity in Train
ingforP Races

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Dec. 4.-The Naval
Academy has been asked to send its
varsity crew to Cambridge on May s.
next. to row against Harvard and
Princeton. If official permission to
make the trip can be obtained it will
probably accept. At any raae, the
Naval Academy is likely to realize its
great desire in athletics at the present,
to row Princeton, as the latter crew is
also to enter the Henley this year.
Participation in the Poughkeepsie
regatta, readily won by the midship-
men last year, is likely. Seven of the
members of the crew will graduate in
June, and it is the usual course to
give them the graduate leave for a
month. This will make it practicable
for them to stay together and row at
Poughkeepsie about the middle of the
month. The only races in local waters
Will probably be against the Univer-
slty OF Pennsylvania and Syracuse.
Clyde King, stroke Of the Navy's
Olympic crew and all-American tackle,
captains the crew this year, and with
SIX of his classmates, completes his
athletic career at the Naval Academy.
He does not hesitate to say that an
other chance at the Princeton crew,
which unexpectedly won from the Navy
at princeton last year, would be the
finishing touch of his athletic career at
the Naval Academy.

To Rest Until Thursday

DETROIT, Mich, Dec. 4.-Washing-
ton and Jeffersons football team, which
defeated Detroit University here yes
terday Ia to 9, will not start it's prepa-
rations for the, intersectional game at
Pasadena on New Years Day until pext
Thursday. Before the team left here
tonight for home Head Coach Neale
said he would allow his players to re-
lax until that time. W. and j. plans to
leave fer the Coast on December 16.
This will give Neale one full week of
work with his squad before going West.
The team came through yesterday S
hard game without serious injuries.
Some of the men are pretty badly bat
tered, for they were subject to fierce
opposition all the time, but all of them
should be able to get into practice by
Thursday.
Statistics of the game show that the
Presidents had wonderful advantage
over Detroit, making twelve first downs
to but one for Detroit. The Pennsyl-
vanians gained 212 yards from scrim-
mage, to q for their opponents
w. and j. brought back punts 1875 yards
and Detroit %, while Brenkert
outbooted the Detroit punters to
the tune of forty three to thirty-fiv
yards on an average.

Herman, Lynch, O'Dowd
and Dundee ALI Sched-
uled to Appear i'm Ring

This weeks fstic program is un-
usually heavy with championship con-
tenders, even despite the fact that the
Garden is closed to boxing this week
because of the six-day race. The
smaller clubs of the metropolitan dis
trict seem to be vying with each other
TO pat on the feature attraction of the
week.
Among the headliners are three for
mer champions, Pete Herman and Joe
Lynch, ex-bantamweight title holders,
and Mike ODowd, former middle
weight king. And, of course, there is
Johnny Dundee, the newly crowned
junior lightweight champion, who
meets Sailor Friedman, of Chicago, at
the 4th Regiment Armory, Jersey City,
on Friday.
1ae Dundee Friedman scrap should
be the best match of the week, in view
of Fricdman's good showing against
Benny Leonard in Philadelphia re-
Gently. The Scotch Wop, however. can
not lose his title in this bout, as Fried
man cannot possibly make the 13O-
pound limit.
Friedman is at present several
pounds above the prescribed light
weight limit, having gained two pounds
while en- route from Chicago. He is
working out daily in Jersey City.
The Sailor is also scheduled to box
Lew Tender fifteen rounds at the Gar
den on December 16. Friedman re-
ceived the newspaper mems decision

fifteen-round bout was arranged at

Regardless Of the fact that the gun

a card of SO out of u possible 100 targets
The total was the same as that which

another scratch man, was second. if

was third.
Jacobs led the field on its slippery
journey until three and three-quartcr
miles had been traversed. Here Aron-
son, who moved through the field of

dangerous, pulled up on even terms
with the leader. This pair slushed

bali world back in 1903.
But those in charge are making prog
ress in spite of what the critics nsay
say. However, just as matters arc be-
ginning TO shape up nicely and with
prospects of good team for 1922 in
sight new evil, or an old one, which
ever you prefer, looms up end shreatens
TO undo all Of the good work that has
been accomplished. The evil we rrfer
to is petty politics on the part of the
fraternities at Columbia.
The election Of captain for next
years eleven is being held at tire pres
ent time. There are three candidates
for the position. They are Burt, Bro
dill and Thornton. 6aIlotiag has taken
place twice already, and a tie still ex-
lists. Another election probably win be
held some time this week, although at
the present moment there does not
seem to be any prospect OF the dead
lock being broken.
Men Show Poor Spirit
We do not pretend to know the mer-
it's of any of the three candidates, but
it is quite evident the members OF
this years eleven cannot and will not
agree on one man for the captaincy. It
is also obvious most Of those members,
Columbia students, are thinking more
of their respective fraternities than
they are of their university.
This kind Of elections certainly does
the morale OF the football candidates
no good. And morale, more than any
thing else, is essential to make sue
cess of football at Columbia. The
alumni and others are wondering why
the Blue and White does not have a
good eleven. The trouble seems to be
with the students themselves. We
would suggest Coach O'Neill do as Gil
Dobie did at Cornell in trying to right
matters-dispense with a captain en-
tireiy.
! Not all of the fellows playing pro-
! fessional football do so because they
see some easy money in sight. One
man we know Of, former star whose
luster shone brightly only last year,
jumped into the game this fall to save
his father from going into bankruptcy.
