Tariff Fight on Mexican
Crude Up to the Senate

The activities of the oil men In the
fight for q tariff on the importation OF
Mexican crude oil are now centered on
the senate. Officials OF the various
petroleum organizations are urging
members OF the fraternity throughout
the county 10 write congressman at
Washington in order that the diplo-
mats might become thoroughly ac-

ISOLATION attributes the loss Of the
measure 10 four main influences
which ne described as follows:
First, the New England manufac.
turer who In this as in all other tariff
legislation was found demanding high
protection for his manufactured goods,
but unwilling even to permit tariff
for revenue on raw materials and fuel.
Secondly, the producers OF oil In Mex
leo were we'll organized TO prevent a
tax upon the importation Of their oil
into the American markets and they
maintained active headquarters for
that purpose. The third influence was
the activity OF farmers organizations
which had been led TO believe that a
tariff meant increased prices for gaso.

ing all OF these was the letter OF

Southeast Extension
Well to Be Drilled in

For what is believed will be the first
time in the history of the Hewitt field

drill in q well in which the casing

cemented on top Of an oil sand AZ q
depth Of 1872 feet.
The well was drilled to its present
depth with the rotary tools, and was
rattailed ahead two feet into the sand.
The star machine will be anchored to
the rotary derrick floor. The opera
tors are OF the opinion that since the
casing has been run TO the top or
the pay, approximately $500 will be
saved BY drilling In with the star

Star machines have been used
rather extensively In shallow fields In
this territory down to 1900 feet, but
were not used for deeper drilling on
account Of the fear OF operators that

FOR GRID LADS
Spears Sends Word on
This Line From
Chicago

AIORGANTOWE, Dec. l6.-In a
communication received here this
morning from Coach C. W. Fats"
Spears, who is now at Chicago, it
was learned that the Varsity foot.
ball mentor does not plan any
spring football practice for his foot
ball squad This word coming dt-
rect from tho big chief" Of the
Mountaineer eleven will serve to
silence the rumors circulated to
the effect that the football squad
would train for several weeks next
spring. These reports were not al
together unfounded because when
Spears made his first trip to this
city last spring he heartily approx
cd Of short training period in the
spring. This caused many to be-
leve that he would inaugurate
sprng practice in 1922, thus caus-
ing the numerous rumors.
However Spears pointed out in
his letter that he would have liked
to have staged workouts last spring
10 get acquainted with the material
at hand, but now that he has a
veteran squad on hand he does not
Figure such II step is necessary.
Spears is not the sort Of man that
takes up "tads" for publicity pur-
poses. nor Is he the kind Of coach
that does things just to be in
style. He does not approve Of
spring training and believes in
playing every sport when it is in
season.
Coach Spears Is a strong advo-
cate of the Jackson's Mills train
ing site near Weston and he IS
very anxious that this place be Sc
cured for the squad. At present
there is a strong possibility that
the Varsity Will train at this place
next fall and IL final arrangements
ara made as many as one hundred
men will be taken there for two
weeks training. Jackson's Mills is
an ideal site for a football train
ing camp and will be an advantage
Gus spot for the Varsity in moro
than one respect.
