The teams in the Kansas conference
start things moving early this week.
Southwestern and Bethany meet in
Winfield Tuesday afternoon, for the
annual clash. These teams look like
they were evenly matched, and it
promises to be a good game. Hays
Normal and Fairmount meet in Hays
on Wednesday. and Washburn plays st.
Mary'S in st. Mary's and Sterling
meets Mcpherson at home, on Thurs
day. st. Benedict's, the associate
member Of the conference, plays Tar
kio, Friday.

College of Emporia scored a field
goal in the last few minutes of play,
thus preventing a victory for the Hays
Normal eleven. The score was a to
tie. Hays Normal has one game re-
manning on its 1922 schedule, and that
with F,airmount, on the Hays field.
Pittsburg Normal took the long end
of a ii to score from the Ottawa
Baptists, thus keeping the Coach E. r.
Elbel crew from adding a win to its
column. 1t Las lost all six of its
games, but at that the Braves have
played well. The game Saturday was
ragged on both sides, however. If
Ottawa wishes to have one victory this
season it will have to win from Baker
university, which seems very unlikely.

Kansas Aggies went into the loss

forced to send in his regulars. he was

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON, Dec. % - Sec
retarv Of the Interior Albert T. Fail
is preparing to leave the Harding
Cabinet at an early date, according
10 report In Cabinet circles. not Yet
officially confirmed, however.
Falls determination to quit the
Cabinet was brought about by de-
feat at the hands Of Secretary Wal
lace and the conservationists on the
Fall public domain policy, it was ex-
planned.
Falls ambition as a Cabinet mem
Der was TO unite the public domain
under the Administration of the De
partment Of the Interior. To this
end. he sought control over Alaska
bureaus and forestry lands now ad-
ministered by the Secretary OF Agrt-
culture.
Falls proposals were embodied in
the Walter Brown departmental re
organization scheme. which has been
hanging IRE for months.
Following a long discussion Clifford
PinchoI declared the opposition of the
conservationists TO Browns scheme to
remove the forestry service from the
Department of Agriculture to the De-
partment Of the Interior.
The President then delivered his Ill
timaturn to Brown d Fall, who were
working in conjunction, that the trans
fer was impossible. Thereupon Wal
lace and Ptnchot extracted from the
President a promise that during his
Administration no effort would be
made to transfer the forestry service.
FAN is reported to have stated later
with considerable heat that II the
President were going allow the Ad-
u1inistratton TO be run by outsiders,
he, Fall, could no longer remain in
the Cabinet.
In addition to this, Fall resents keen
" the attacks made upon him IN the
press and in Congress for his leasing
Of the naval oil lands at Teapot Dome,
in Alaska. and in California. Fall
feels that he saved the Nays oil in
this way.
Falls program has been to turn pub
lie domain Of practically every kind
over to private concerns for develop
rnent on the royalty basis.

An apple blossom festival as a

says:

WEST NOTTINGHAM ACADEMY
HAS INTERESTING STORY

The West Nottingham Academy,
Colora, Maryland, whose ad appears
elsewhere in this paper, presents to
the families of Delaware, Maryland
and Pennsylvania, and particularly of
Cecil County, a very strong appeal
for loyal recognition and generous
support. AS private school of Sec
ondary Grade, West Nottingham has
a record and history which give it
an honored place in the educational
world and which commend it to the
favorable attention of parents seeking
an institution for the education of
their children.
The history. of West Nottingham
Academy is. so deeply interviewer with

hardly be considered apart from the
other. With the high minded Scotch
Irish and English pioneers who were
the early settlers of Cecil County the
rule was-frst the church and then
the school; and so in 1741, some twen-
ty years after the organization of
West Nottingham Church, the Acad-
envy was founded by DR.. Samuel Fin
lay, then the pastor of the church. He
was scholarly man of high attain
ments and under him the school soon
gained wide reputation in the colo
MES. In the contemporary records we
find it spoken of as "Dr. Finley's
school at Nottingham" and many of
the young men trained there took a
leading part in the affairs of the day,
both religious and political. Tradi-
ton AYERS that among these were
Aaron Burr and DR.. Benjamin Rush.
DR.. Finley was called in 1761 to be-

Gentle Nowadays
Ask Coach Mac


The baseball fans of today talk Of
the fights with the umpires but as Al
Jolson puts it, "You amt seen nuth-
ing"
Ask Bill McAvoy who returns this
year as athletic coach at the Univer-
sity of Delaware.
Bill in his prime, after graduating
with high honors, especially on the
athletic teams, at Lafayette, was a
star catcher with the Reading team in
the Tri-State League.
That has not been an awful long
time ago, less than a score of years
and the writer remembers when Mac
wore the windpad for the Reading
Pretzels.
In those days the players rode to
the field in large horse drawn wagons
with seats along the side, the visiting
club was never honored with a dress
ing room at the ball park but was
forced to dress at it's hotel
York and Reading were always
rivals in the days Of the Tri-State
League and many fans right here in
Newark have seen both these teams
play in Wilmington. McAvoy tells of
visit to York on one occasion when
he suffered several personal injuries
when the York fans became infuri-
ated at the umpires and took their
vengeance out on the visiting players
Those were the days of "real fights
like the movies of today, on the ball
fields and that is one of the reasons
that Coach McAvoy stands for clear
sports, because he has been through
the mill and konws that the dirty
work does not advance the players tt
their best.

The date was to be dependent upon
the full blooming of the peach trees.
