COMlNODORES ARE
LOOKING FORW ARD
TO NEXT SEASON
1922 Unbeaten Eleven Is Re-
turning Almost Intact Next
Year

Nashville, Tenn. December 10
Especial Nashville Is again looking
forward to another great year for
the Vanderbilt Commodores on the
football field For two years unde-
feated the MeGugin outfit will have
practically every man back in the
ranks next year, it Is thought, AS
only Conyers, substitute end. anu
Morrow. tackle or guard graduate.
The rest of the machine is eligible TO
play, provided their work in school
comes UP to the prescribed standard.
In addition to the members OF the
varsity coming back, there Will also
be Frank ELAN, star tackle of 1921,
who was ineligible last season on
account OF failure in certain studies.
Tommy Ryan. a star end of 1921.
will also be back in the fold. as viii
Frank Godchaux, varsity halfback of
two years ago. These Will be aug
mented by several likely prospects
from the freshmen eleven. To show
the value of some Of the men in the
freshmen ranks, Coach McGugin re-
marked before one of the hardest
games of the season that there are
three men on that first year squat
! would stick in today If they were
eligible to play with the varsity.
yandy's Schedule
Vanderbilt's schedule includes
games with Tennessee. Georgia. Au-
burn and Sewanee In the Nashville
stadium, game with Texas in Dali
| las, with Michigan in Ann Arbor.
and possibly a game with Princeton
at Princeton. The latter is being
held open pending a juggling Of
| dates by both teams to prevent con-
flict with that part of the schedule
already worked out. Although the
acani sition of Princeton would give
Vanderbilt three long road trips. t
is thought that the team will be able
to stand 1t. Such schedule would
give Vanderbilt one of the hardest
calendars in the history of a south
ern football team
Their Titular Claim
Vanderbilt supporters still contend
that their team Is entitled to first
rank as southern champions in view
of the fact that they not only were
undefeated by any southern team
but have lost to no team at all in
two years. They won eight games
record, including victories over Ten
Mercer, Texas Tennessee. Kentucky
State. Georgia and Sewanee North
Carolina, on the other hand. had
nothing like as hard schedule.
while Georgia Tech actually lost
three games, even though they were
intersectional affairs. In tying Mich
gan the Commodores deadlocked one
of the greatest teams in the country
certainly a team as strong as any
of the three that defeated Georgia

WESTE RN STATES
SEEKING TO LOWE R
RATES UPON GRAIN
Plea of Farm Interests Made
Before Interstate Com
merce Commission in
Washington

WASHINGTON. Dec. 11.-western
states began the submission to the
interstate commerce commission of
evidence on which is based their de-
mand for a reduction in the railroad
freight rates now charged on grain,
grain products and hay in the terri
tory west of the Mississippi and east
of the Rocky mountains.
The proceedings was brought orig
nally for this purpose by the KAN
sas public utilities committee and
the committees from Minnesota, Ne
braska, North and South Dakota,
Iowa, Missouri and Oklahoma, have
now interviewed for the same object
while all tho western railroads are
represented In opposition.
DR.. Henry j. waters, former presi-
dent of the Kansas Agricultural col
lege, was the first witness called to-
day by Clyde NJ. Reed, chairman of
the Kansas commission, and described
the history OF the rate situation as
we'll as outlining the grounds on
which the states demand reduction.
Whatever advantages had been
given farmers of the western states
when a reduction ranging from IL
TO 10 per cent was given on THESE
commodities in 1921, DR.. Waters said,
was "obilterated' by the 10 per cent
reduction given all rates last July.
DR.. Waters spoke approvingly Of
President Harding's annual address
to Congress last week in its deela-
ration that the necessity In the trans
portation fields was lower rates on
all food stuffs generally. and leav-
Ing charges on high unit priced
articles unchanged. Distress among
agricultural producers was as great
today as in 1921 the amendment con-
tended. adding that the dispropor-
tlonate burden which the present
rates placed on them was even
greater and the ability of railroads
to reduce the charges could be
shown.

MARRIAGE MAKES
LIFE SAVER MENACE

LOS ANGELES, July 7.-Wher
Thomas Moreno, life guard, gave VI
his heroic profession to become pam
pered husband, he changed from pro
tector to a positive danger.
According to the divorce complaint
of his wife, Mrs. Sofia Oniga Moreno
Oklahoma heiress, Moreno threatened
her as the elimination of numerous
quarrels. When they met on the sands
of the Venice beach, Mrs. Moreno be
leved he would be her life guard for
ever, but too little to do and too much
money changed his character, she
claims.
The complaint states Moreno refused
to work and was living off his wife 3
income. She asks $3.50 month ali
mony and custody of their three year
old daughter
