 The Gerard mines have been worked for many years. It is reported that engineers have warned that the ore may be exhausted within few years unless additional surrounding property is acquired. Closing of the mines would not only shut off Judge Gerard s revenue from this source. but would throw the workmcn out of employ mcnt For this reason Gerards visit to Mexico has been a matter of tre- mendous importance to Magdalena and Cinco Minas.
 Judge Gerard, it is said. has decided to purchase some of the surrounding undeyeloped properties, upon which options were obtained some time be- fore he came to Mexico, and maintain his interest in the Cinco Minas camp

Old Alonzo Stagg has n good reason if he chuckles contentedly to himself now and then.
 The manner in which his Chicago Maroons tied the tail of the Prince ton Tiger into knots was a triumph for Alonzo, a great thing for Chicago uni versity and a big boost for Western football
 The MaroOns. incidentally. have an even chance at this writing to cop the Big Ten title, and when the football season comes to an end they may be pointed to as the ranking Western team. They must beat out Ohio State to get away with 1t.
 The Eastern trip of the Maroons this year will doubtless lead to an other invasion and it is practically certain that Chicago will endeavor to schedule an Eastern team in the Windy City next fall. The growing tendency toward intersectional foot, ball Is one of the best stimulants the game has had in years. Let's have more of it.
