GEORGIA CAME
WITH CHICAGO
TO ADD SPICE
Football Followers Approve Contest
Between Middlewest and
SOafh In 1922.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
Chicago university's action in
arranging a game with the Uni
versity of Georgia on the gridiron
at Stage Field next October, is at
tracing a great deal of attention
here as well as in the middle west,
where it has just been realized that
in point of picturesque intersec-
tional contests, as for instance the
Harvard-Centre game, the Penn
State-Georgia Tech affair and
other meetings involving strong
outfits, the middle west has been
tagging. There is no doubt that the
Chicago-Georgia agreement will be
influential in remedying this condi-
ton. In fact the writer heard to-
day that at least two western COL
leges are angling for games with
the eleven of the Agricultural &
Mechanical college of Texas, which
surprised the sporting world by de-
feating Centre so decisively in a
post-season game last year.
While Centres downfall at the
hdhIo Va LLIc SAdo <AoGACSs y" ~ a. I
located at College station, Texas,
was pretty much of a shock
throughout the country, Texans
were not a bit surprised. For those
Aggies have the winning habit.
Usually they have been the out
standing team in the southwest coll
ference, which includes such in
situations as the University of Ari-
IONA, University of Oklahoma, Bay
lor and others. In 1917 the Aggies
went through the season without
being scored upon, themselves scor-
ing 270 points. A team that has no
black marks, not SO much as a
safety blight upon its escutcheon in
these days of the modern game is
playing Simon Pure football. In
1919 the Texans reported this
achievement, scoring 275 points.
Bible, whom We believe is not a
college product, is the head coach.

From California comes word that
the Gold Diggers have gained a lot
OF new Impressions of the value of
line play since w and J. played
them at Pasadena. They admit now
that forward passing against

will supplement her passing game
with something better than a fair

Swings Best Driver.

Is there any golf club in the
country who can produce a driver
qualified to best Charley Hall, the
Birmingham, Ala, Country club
professional? If SO they are wait
ing for him in Birmingham. George
Jacobus, the Jersey professional,
who is credited around here with
being the best of lengthy drivers,
was defeated by Hall in a driving
contest. He believes that the man
does not swing a driver who can
turn higher yardage on drives than
Uncle Charley. He adds he is will
ing to back his opinion with real
money.
Before any one takes him up,
however, let it be recorded that
Hall outdrove Abe Mitchell, the Big
Bertha champion of England, last
summer, and that Harry Vardon
and Ted Ray when they were max
ing their tour of the country a few
years ago said that Hall was by
all odds the longest driver in
America.

Penn Teams Strong,

In regretting inability to make
place for Lafayette on her 1922
football schedule the University of
Pennsylvania authorities remark
that the state of Pennsylvania
seems to have 4 monopoly on the
matter Of strong teams, thereby
making manifold the problems of
the teams of the keystone COM
monWealth which would like to
meet every important eleven there
in. All of which is true enough.
What state, for example, can boast
of elevenS of the strength and pro-
ficiency of PittSburg, Penn State.
Lafayette, Washington and Jeffer-
son, and the University of Pennsyl-
Vania? The empire state may pre-
sent Cornell and Syracuse and
West Point as annual top liners.
Ohio, which probably leads the
country in number of educational
institutions it possesses, has a.
major football institution in Ohio
State but other Buckeye colleges
fall far below state in gridirou
merit. Harvard dominates Massa-
chusetts utterly just as Yale domi-
mates Connecticut and Princeton.
New Jersey.
Harvard is taking advantage of
the recent ruling of the l. c. A. A.
A. A, to admit the Javelin throw
as feature. She has engaged
Jakko MikkaOla, former coach Of
the Finnish Olympic team, to teach
Crimson athletes to hurl the spear
and their progress thIS for euu
gests that they will garner more
than their share of points next
May. 1t is a beautiful sport to
watch, Javelin throwing. But
wanderers on Soldiers Field are
advised to keep watching. A year
or two ago one of these JaveIins-
1t was in BrOoklyn-struck an alb
sent-minded observer in the neck

Jury for Truslow's
Second Trial Sworn

HONOLULU, June 13-(Associated
Press)-The trial of Herbert A. Trus-
low on the second indictment returned
against him, charging the embezzle-
ment of shares of stocks from Hattie
8. Lewis of Hilo was resumed today.
The jury was completed and Attorney
General Irwin in outlining the case
said he would seek to prove that Mrs.
Lewis bought the stocks outright and
paid for them, but failed to receive
the certificates although she demand
ed them of Truslow several times.
Lymer, outlining the case of the
defense contended the Lewis pur-
chases were made on margin and the
customary law of all stock exchanges
in marginal dealings was to sell out
even the buyers entire holdings in
times of pressure to meet unpaid por-
tons of accounts. He said the de-
Tense was based on the contention
the Lewis purchases were marginal
on the grounds that the Securities
Trading Company had carried her
account several weeks on the books
between the time the order was given
TO by and the stock received, and the
time when the money was paid.
Mrs. Lewis who was the first wit
ness to take the stand testified she
had never engaged in marginal pur-
chases, but paid cash several days
after she received a bill for the
stocks.

Concise Restatement
OF Existing Laws to
Be Made by Lawyers

NEW YORK, June 13-(Associated
Press)-De6nite and far reaching
plans to bring about a comprehensive
and concise restatement of the exist
ing law, both federal and state, and
unity the methods of teaching law in
all schools and universities, were an.
nounced today by the American AGA
denny of Jurisprudence, an o%rganiza-
ton founded in 1914 to cooperate with
the American Bar Association in sim
plifying the laws and the machinery
for the administration of justice.
The project is being financed by
the legal profession and the profits
ACQUIRING from publication and other
sources will revert to an endowment
fund created by the American Bar
Association and the Academy of Ju-
risprudence for the perfection Of the
work of restatement, and other acti-
vities for the improvement of law and
the administration of justice. Bearing
upon this, the academy proposes to
establish a central office in New York
10 assemble and distribute legal
knowledge throughout the country.
Among the noted lawyers indenti-
feed with the movement are William
H. Taft, Charles Evans Hughes, Elihu
Root, Alton b. Parker, Martin w.
Littleton, Paul d. Cravath, Roscoe
Pound, Dean of Harvard Law School,
Hampton L. Carson, William Bro
smith, James Brown Scott, Secretary
of the Carnegie Foundation for Peace
and many others from all parts Of
the country. James Dewitt Andrews,
Chairman of the American Bar AS
sociation's committee on classified
lions and restatement, has been in
active charge of the work.
The proposed restatement is con
tanned in a comprehensive library
made up of three units coordinated
by a common classification providing
easy reference from one to the other.
The first unit consists of two volumes
with an institutional, philosophic
analysis of the law bringing out all
elemental relationships as well as
rules and leading precendents. The
second unit contains 20 volumes en-
bracing a restatement of the whole
body of the actual law as it now
exists, with exhaustive references
and citations to authorities. Unit
three is made up of 100 volumes con
tanning cases selected by leading le-
gal scholars from the American and
English reports beginning with the
Year Books and extending through
to the present and current reports,
thus giving a continuous account Of
the growth of the legal system.

WE LOSE THE ROAD

THE news columns of the Times
this week contain an article relat-
ing to the order of the Interstate
Commerce Commission to tear up "a
miles of the branch line of the Nor
thern Pacific railway between this
city and Iron River, ard similar
order for the continued operation of
nine miles of the railroad running
northeast from Iron River to Cody,
and if business from that territory
does not warrant a continuance of
the operation of that portion of the
road that will also be torn UP.
The decision of the Interstate Conn
mission is hard blow to the nor
thern part of Bayfield, county in par
ticular, and to the entire county as
a whole, but it was expected for ii
was an easy matter for the rail-
road company to show that this part
of their system had not been pay
ing venture No effort had ever
been put forth by the railroad to
make this branch line pay, and the
country adjacent to the road had
not been developed to the extend
where it could furnish the business
necessary to bring dividends on the
investment.
The road cost Bayfield, county tax
payers the sum of $1S5,o00.00 to
build, to say nothing of the interest
on the bonds which amounted to a
like figure or more, and there still
remains to be paid $4,000 of the
original bonds.
The road was first proposed, pri-
marily for the purpose of making the
promoters some easy money, but
even in this it failed, and the only
persons who received any benefit
from it's construction were the per-
sons owning timber in that territory
which they were enabled to get out.
The persons to suffer most by the
removal of the road are the tillers
of the soil who were induced to pur-
chase lands in the territory travers-
ed by the road, and who have opened
UP farms along the line. These peo-
5 Pile were vitality interested. Because
of the removal of the road their land
values will shrink because Of the
distance from market, but in the
eyes of the Interstate Commission
this seems to matter but little as
long as the greedy stockholders of
a gaint railroad corporation are saw
ed a few dollars which they might
have to spend until the territory is
sufficiently developed to make this
branch line pay.
The Northern Pacific Railway
Company may think they have made
wise move in seeking the abandon
ment of this line, but the time will
come when some road will enter this
same territory and make the BUSH
ness pay.
