WAGON COMPANY WINS THREE
STRAIGHTS FROM AIIPHAS


Tuesday night Wagon Co. 124
again walloped the strong much ad-
vertised Alpha Pi fraternity team on
their home floor, GAINESVILLE, by a
score of 80 to 26. This makes the
third time Wagon Co. has triumph
ed over the Alphas this season
twice on Zanesville's floor and once
here. Our boys played one of their
usual good fast games. F. Deed
rick and Bingham were the leading
scorers for Wagon Co.. dropping
them in from various angles of the
floor. All our players were right up
to the scratch with their playing.
Speaking of the game the Times
Recorder contained the following:
The first half was very close,
neither team securing any real ad-
vantage at any time. The McCon-
nelsville boys had the advantage in
foul shooting, for Todd was off color
good single attempt from the free
throw line. The half ended with Nc
Connelsville leading 1914.
In the second half Todd found
himself and succeeded in caging four
field goals and two out of two
chances from the foul line. How
ever, Deedrick, who had not per-
formed in his accustomed manner in
the first half, also broke loose and
scored the same number of baskets,
while his teammates were able to
secure few more points than were
the Alphas, the game finally ending
with McConnelsville leading 1926.

CECIL FAVORS
|. LEAGUE CONTROL
OF DARDANELLES

London, Nov. 15-Lord Robert
Cecil, one Of the creators Of the
League Of Nations, and now promin-
emit in its councils, discussed the
Near East situation today. Anal
yzing the problems that VIII con-
front delegates to the approaching
conference on the naturalization or
the Dardanelles, which is to follow
the Near East Peace Conference,
Lord Robert declared that in his
opinion, and also in the opinion of
league members who have studied
the situation, there is no satisfac-
tory solution possible except to hand
over the Straits to league control,
now that both sides of the Dardan-
elise apparently are to become Turk
ish territory.t
"The question now resolves itself
into getting Turkey to assent in
principle to freedom Of the Straits
subject to her own belligerent
rights, and undertake not to fortify
them nor to maintain submarine bas
es there" he added. "These arrange
ments should be in charge of the
League Of Nations, which would
make an annual report of the situa'
ton. A distinct advantage Of this
arrangement is that no armed force
would be required by the League tt
carry out the provisions.
| 1t is pointed out in this connection
that a view now holding is tina
when any nation is at war, its en-
tire civil population likewise Is a
war, therefore food and other sup
| plies destined for any civil popula
tion may be stopped if the enem
has the power to do so. For thi
reason, those studying the probler
of the straits assert that If wa
, occurred between states borderin
| on Turkey, the latter would find
/ to her financial interest to insist o
the straits remaining neutral In
war, no stretch of diplomatic imagiI
alton could forsee her going againl
her own military interests to pei
NIT neutral vessels Of war or con
: merce to pass through the strait
1t is noted that the freedom {
the straits once was considered ne
| essary, especially in case Of gel
Q eral war, with Russia lined up as
European ally. 1t is pointed o
now, however, that in the event Of
: new war, Russia probably would

Socialists To Blame
Chancellor Wirth's efforts to
extend the government coalition
to include the German people g
party foundered on the unrelent-

to any participation in cabinet
in which the Stinnes-Stresseman
group also would be represented.
The vote which finally pre-
cipitated the crisis came last
night. the socialists in the reich
stag deciding by large majority
against any extension OF the
coalition to include the party of
the industrialists.
Throughout the day was hope
that a truce might be effected,
especially In view Of the govern
ment's new reparations proposals
which were drafted by the cabinet
which included four socialists.
Chancellor Wirth had hoped
that his newe reparations note
would constitute the rallying
point for an enlargement in the
government coalition, especially
as it had the approvalgof the
clericals, democrats and the peo-
ple's parties. Even the efforts OF
President Eyert to persuade his
party friends to continue in the
government have been unavailing

Foreign criticism OF the alleged
weakness Of the cabinet, eminat-
