[Danville Messengerl

With the oil shale industry
gaining impetus throughout Ken.
lucky, especially near Clay City,
where the Devon Oil Shale Pro.
ducts Company has large plant
under construction, the probabil.
tv of the enterprise spreading to
this section of the State appears
excellent. Hundreds of acres of
oil shale land near Junction City
and back in the Knobs, few
miles from Danville, have been
tested and proven by Professor
w. r. JIllson, State Geologist.
This acreage contains millions of
tons of rich oil shale, it is said.
The oil shale industry is simply
a manufacturing business in
which q sort of rock is properly
treated to recover its commercial
content. Millions of gallons of
gasoline and millions of pounds
of amonium sulphate can be pro.
duced from the shale if the pro.
ducts are extracted properly.
The Devon Company with It's
holdings in Powell county have
figured that with every ton of
shale treated there will be a pro-
fit of $2.72. The plant, when
completed, will be able to handle
1900 tons of shale each day.
There is little doubt but what
the oil shale industry would prove
profitable In this section for there
is an Unsuitable demand for the
two commodities that could be
easily recovered from the Boyle
county shale. The average pro
duction of the wells In the cOun.
try is only four and one half bar
rels the day. That amount can
be squeezed from eight tons of
shale quarried near the plant,
and refined and converted into
commercial commodities on loca.
tion, regardless of roads and
weather.

Stanton Academy
Wins State Honors

In a recent state wide Bible.
study contest conducted by the
Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion with headquarters at Louis
vile the Stanton Academy boys
won not only the first honors in
the third class school group to
which the school belongs, but al
so the state wide honors as well.
The schools IN class 8 may have
an enrolment of ten to forty
nine boys. The boys are graded
on class attendance and competi-
tive examination. The contest
was entered on January 30th and
ended March 25th.
The course studied was "Mas.
ter Men of the New Testament. b."
Three schools out of fifty en-
tering the contest in class No. 3
tied for first honors In attend
ance at class drills, and it was
necessary to take the average ex-
animation grade to determine the
winner. When this was done the
sesult stood, Stanton, SO percent, d,
Greenup, 92 percent, Vanceburg,
81 percent.
This high mark not only gave
Stanton first place among the fif-
ty smaller schools of her own
class, but also the honors over
the fifteen larger schools of class
No. 2.
A silver loving cup presented
by the Y. M. G.. A. of Kentucky
Will accompany the honors of
winning in class No. 2. In addi-
tion to this a large loving cup
which is the property of the State
Y. M. @. A. will be presented
and will remain in our possession
for one year. If We can succeed
in winning this cup next year
and the year following, 1T will
become our permanent posses
sion. The names of the Acade.
my boys and their grades earned
on the State examination are as

Columbia Does Not Regret
Its Defeat by Williams
Setback Expected to Give
Better Fighting Spirit.

That Columbia lost TO Williams last
Saturday may prove to be more a bless
ing than something to be regretted, for
the defeat has undoubtedly shown the
coaches where the local team Is weak.
In addition the setback has taken the
Morningside eleven down a couple OF
pegs with the possible result that the
team will go up to Ithaca to do battle
with Cornell next Saturday with as
much fight as New York University dis
played against Columbia a week ago
when the Blue and White was an over
whelming favorite.
The prospect of Columbia defeating
Cornell seems improbable. As lndlvid-
uals many OF the Blue and White play
ers rate among the highest, but as a
team the lion aggregation cannot be
locked upon as anything that Cornell
need fear.
There are two things. however. which
will probably help the locals in their
joust with Cornell. For one thing It's
lineup against the Ithacans will prob
ably include the two regular ends in
stead of the pair who were used last
Saturday. and possibly Frank Canapary,
captain of the 1919 eleven and star all
around back. who was given honorable
mention by Walter Camp.
The second thing that will probably
stand the Mornngside collegians in good
stead against It's powerful upstate op-
ponents Is It's Improvement In the for
ward passing game. This has been
stressed by the locals 20 considerable
degree OF late and was used fairly sue
cessfully against Williams. but the Pur-
ples aeronautics were OF even n higher
type. which blotted out the locals over
head game.

BIG TEN FOOTBALL
RACE Is KEEN ONE
Five Western Conference Col
lege Teams Still Remain
Indicated.

Z CHICAGO. Oct 20 tAssociated Press).
The fight for the Western conference
fifootball title. at present a toss up be-
tween Iowa, Chicago, Michigan, Minne-
sofa and Wisconsin. may narrow to four
teams next Saturday when the last two
contenders tangle in their annual game
at Minneapolis. With defeat meaning
certain elimination from the champion
ship race and their traditional rivalry
squirting the teams on. this game Is ex-.
pected to be the outstanding contest OF
a card which includes only one other
tussle. that between Northwestern and
Illinois at Urbana.
Yesterdays games furnished little ex-
citement within the conference and only
served to tighten the holds of the lead
ers and the losers or their respective
places In the conference Michigan In
creased its victories to two by defeat ting
Illinois, while Iowa won its second con-
ference game from Purdue, and Mime
sofa defeated Ohio.
The dramatic intersectional battle OF
last minute comebacks staged at Stagg
Field between Princeton and Chicago
furnished the West with the greatest
display of football fireworks il has seen.

is cleared for the conclusion OF the big
ten championship.
Next Saturdays contest at Mime
apolis between the Gophers and the
Badgers is considered to be a toss UP.
Both teams have exhibited effective pass
ing tactics. both have strong lines and
both have great sets of running and
plunglng backs. Minnesota, in it's vic
tory over Ohio State. assured the con-
ference that its tie with Northwestern
a week ago was not a representative
showing. Wisconsin was idle.
The Northwestern-Ilinoi game is ex-
pected to be one between two fairly
strong teams fighting for positions at the
top of the second division. Both have
shown flashes of strength. Northwestern
against Minnesota and Illinois against
Iowa.
Michigan IL expected to have little
trouble in defeating the Michigan Aggies
at Ann Arbor. but Purdue and Indiana,
each OF which hooks up with a Hoosier
contender. may find their hands full.
Purdue with the strong Wabash eleven

On the contrary they are eager for the
meeting with Penn State, which is to

Overconfidence is given as the explana-
ton of the defeat, though full credit is
given the Quakers for their wonderful
brace in the second half.

Chicago Plans New System
for Distribution of Tickets

CHICAGO, Oct. R9.-Complaint against
the method of ticket distribution by the
University of Chicago for its football
games, and particularly against the
speculation and activities OF ticket scalp
ers. has resulted in the appointment OF
special committee by Wallace Heck
man, business manager OF the institu-
ton, to make a survey OF the plan and
make recommendations for improve
ments for next year. IL was announced
to-day The contemplated changes will
be principally for the benefit of STU
dents and alumni.
In an effort to curb activities OF spec
ulators the university athletic authori-
tiS announced some time ago that
tickets stamped as sold in excess OF the
regular admission prices would not be
accepted This resulted in a number OF
arrests of alleged spectators charged
with failing to stamp the excess sale
price and their names on the tickets.

ARMY BARES YALE
MERITS AND FAULTS
Offensive of Backfield Cheers
While Defense Against
Aerials Causes Concern.

Special Dispatch to THE New YoRK HERALD.
NEW HAVEN, Oct. 29.-Yale's game
with the Army on Saturday established
two facts. at least. One is that the
Ell backs before the football curtain
is rung down will prove y pretty for
midable collection. worthy enough to
represent the best of Yale teams the
other is that a good team playing the
wide open game, and playing 1t cleverly
win be likely to fool Yale to the extent
of beating her.
All of the Yale players are in good
shape. West Point gave beautiful ex-
hibition of fine tacklng, as Neale. Jor-
dan and Mallory will be willing to tes-
tify. None of these three was used up
and Bill Mallory showed great pluck in
playing through the game with a boil
on the back OF his neck after he relieved
Scott in the early part of the game.
Scott fell victim of Undertakes
shoulder harness. as did Whitley Neale
later. The substitute halfback tackled
the West Point back on the second often
sive play and ran against something
hard on Undertakes right shoulder. 1t
was that collision that put Scott out
Ten minutes later Neale went up against
the same thing and when he came to he
complained to Johnny Mack that there
was some metal somewhere on Timber
lake. Information was carried to Tad
Jones, and the Yale coach talked matters
over with Lieut.. Charlie DAILY, Army
coach.
An examination of the shoulder pad
worn by Timberlake resulted in finding
strip of steel used as a brace. and it
was Immediately ordered that the pad
be thrown out. The change took about
eight minutes to make, and when the
big Army back returned to the fray he
was minus the body wrecking brace that
had played havoc with two OF Yale's
men.
IF Tad Jones could be drawn into a
discussion of the Army game for pub
lication he probably would enthuse a bit
over the end playing of Eddy and HUI
man. These two men were all over the
field. They were down under every punt
and on the defense played intelligent
football, all In all putting up the best
exhibition given by Yale ends this sea-
son.
Yale is prepared to use Jordan. Neid-
linger. Mallory and Neale as a back
field against Brown, and will save
Charley O'Hearn for Princeton. With
the selection of Huffman and Eddy as

shank are away ahead of any of the

passes Saturday will keep his place at
