PITT STRONGER
ON OFFENSIVE:
THAN STANFORD
Both. Teams Are Powerful
on Defense, and H ard
Game Is Expected in In
terSeCtionai Contest

Stanford University, Calf, Dee,
29.--East will meet west again at
football this year when the Uni
versity of Pittsburgh plays STAN
ford university in the Stanford
stadium here tomorrow. Observ-
ers predict a low score, with the
odds favoring the visiting Pan
theirs, who are rated one of the
best teams from beyond the Mis-
sissippt.
Glenn "Pop'' Warner, the dad
dy' OF all the national known
coaches, will be playing his right
hand against his left in the game,
for he is coach of the Pitt team
and advisory coach of the Cardinal
eleven. He comes TO take charge
Of football at Stanford when his
contract with Pitt expires next
year.
Pitt has the edge on Stanford in
offensive work, it is believed, as
Hewitt, the fullback, is q better
line plunger than any of the local
backfield men.
On the defensive both teams
rated about even, with the Stan
ford line heavier but not as eXpe-
as that of the visitors
Art Wilcox, key man in the Car
dinal offensive, will be kept out of
the game by injuries received while
playing against the University of
Southern California. Wilcox was
expected to match Flanagan, Pitts
triple threat" man, as he is
kicker, passer and runner.
Rain fell today and indications
are that the game may be played
during showers.

New York, Dec. 29.--Duns to-

generally anticipated. Despite
the contraction in export trade. the
point has been reached in different
basic industries. where production
is at a high level. while orders ll-
ready booked insure active opera

of the decisive character of the
business revival and NOR, FREQUENT
reports are heard of shortage OF
workers in that quarter and in

ity naturally has been appreciabIy
augmented and this phase found

GERMANY WILL
PROPOSE FOUR
POWER TREATY
Chancellor Cuno Has Plan
to Guarantee Security OF
France Covering a Period
of 80 Years

Paris, Dec. 2g (by the Associat-
ed Press. )-Persistent reports that
the United States would participate
in some form in next weeks con-
ference of the inter-alIed premiers
were definitely eliminated today
upon receipt of news that the
United States government would
take no part in the meeting. I'm
official but authoritative informa-
ton reached Paris today that the
American administration regarded
the forthcoming premier5' meeting
as purely n European affair and as
not waTantlng intervention by the
United States.
Although it is not believed the
state department at Washington
has made any statement on the
matter, interested governments. on
inquiriug in responsible American
sources, were informed that there
did not seem to be the slightest
chance Of American participation.
There was some suggestion, how
ever that the breaking up Of the
conference and the probability that
this would certainly be followed by
French seizures in Germany, might
provoke some eleventh hour step
by the United States.
Reports that Wilhelm Cuno, the
German chancellor, intended to
startle the premier's conference
with definite proposals for
four-power pact, which would
guarantee the security Of France
and the present Franco-German
frontiers, reached reparations cir
cles today and created considera-
BILE comment. This pact, according
to the reports. would extend over
a period of 80 years and would be
signed by Great Britain, Italy,
France and Germany. The United
States also would be asked to sign,
but without assuming any mill
tary obligations.
Germany is keeping her new
proposals much in the dark, so
far as the reparations commission
is concerned. The commission has
learned, however. that among
Chancellor Cuno's proposals will
he one to pay a lump sum, OF
somewhere between five billion and
eight billion gold marks, one bill
lion to be paid at once and the
after a period OF lOI
years, This would be accom-
panied by n certain form Of allied
control, sufficient to i'm
sure the balancing of Germany's
budget and the stabilization Of the
mark.
