Other Materials Used
Briquettes are made of other ma
terials in the campaign against
waste. Metal filings and turnings
are subjected to pressure and thus
converted into compact masses that
can be charged into furnaces and
remelted with the least possible
loss. Powdered pres and minerals
that would either blow away or
clog the smelters may be handled
in similar fashion and made almost
as satisfactory as lump ore. I'M
mense quantities of disintegrated
iron ore that were formerly consid-
cred of little or no economic i'm
portance are thus made available.
In at least n instance the util-
ization of dust has been brought
about not as a mere of
economy but in order to save the
industry itself. In smelling valua-
BILE metallic ores, notably copper
arsenic contained in the ores are
driven off with the furnace gases in
the form of a fume or very fine
dust. This fume or dust settled
over the farms for great distances
surrounding the smelters and
caused great injury to all kinds OF
vegetation, with the result that the
smelling companies were being
mulcted for heavy damages con-
stantly and there was a prospect
that they might be required to shut
down their plants.
Experts were called in and event
ually a way was found to eliminate
the bulk of the poisonous dust from
the 1ue gases. The white arsenic
thus collected aggregates thousands
of tons annually and it is devoted
to many useful purposes. 1t is con-
verted into pigments, compounds OF
value in medicine and in the dye
industry, and into insecticides for
spraying orchards, vineyards and
gardens.
There is one kind of dust that
everybody has always been more
than anxious to utilize, and that is
gold dust. If any of that goes to
waste it is because 1t a not be

processes and wherever gold is

In placer mining all the gold is

There are a number Of distinct plays
in football. Some of these are known by
name, some by number. The identity Of
many becomes lost.
In the Lafayette-W Washington and JEFF
ferson game on the Polo Grounds recent
~, Washington and Jefferson tied the
SCORE at 10 in the second half by using
a play that had not been seen before by
many who attended the game. In re-
ports of the game this play was described
as one invented last year by the Uni
versity of California, Others credit it to
Percy Houghton, former head coach at
Harvard.
This play is one Of the oldest in foot
ball. 1t was invented by Fielding H.
Yost, Michigan's great coach, and used
by him when he coached football in
California before he ever came to Mich
igan. He has, incidentally. used the
play ever since he took charge Of foot
ball at Michigan.
Last season the play was tried twice
by Michigan, failed each time. and has
not been used this season, the Wolver-
ines apparently deciding the play too old
and well known. but it was this play that
enabled Washington and jefferson to
win what will probably be known as the
best game OF the 1892 season.
In Use Twenty Years.
This play has for more than 90 years

lege there were two Of our star football
players who graduated as valedictorians
of their classes. The scholastic standing
Of our team was above the average as
compared with that of other organiza-
tions. OF course, there were reasons for
this. The honor and sef-respect of an
athlete demand that he maintain the
grade required by the faculty. Another
line Of reasoning that will usually work
out is that it takes a bright student TO
be successful athlete.
My main thought in covering this sub
ject is to bring out the necessity Of hav-
ing organized athletics in an institution.
If we can educate the public to this fact
then we will not accuse the schools that
have been successful along athletic lines
Of using unfair means in getting a team
together. Where a school has a perma-
nent organization in athletics 1t will have
good publicity bureau and they will
get big help in the securing Of new stu
dents.
Take as an illustration Penn State.
There you will find a wonderful organi-
cation and it has done much toward
helping to build up the school. In 1921
they not only excelled in football, but
competed successfully in all branches,
and / am told that IS per cent Of the
student body participated in some
branch. II this is true, then IS per cent
of the Penn State students must have
passed IL or more hours of work in order
to be eligible for the various teams. This
in itself shows that organization along
these lines plays a prominent part in the
program of q school.

It is worked from punt formation. The
alleged kicker takes the pass from CEN

permitted to sift through. All rush for
the alleged kicker. He hands the ball to
one Of his mates in the back field as the
tacklers swarm down on him and the
runner, as you see. has an excellent
chance Of getting through.
When the forward pass was written in
to the football rules the play became a
finer weapon for Yost. Instead Of taking
a punt a forward pass was faxed. The
alleged passer drew back his arm as if
to throw and, after the defense sifted
through and he was about to be tackled,
one of his mates grabbed the ball and
ran. Until he took the ball this mate was
apparently intent only on protecting the
passer by blocking.
Washington and jefferson worked the

pass. It went through perfectly for a
touchdown. Then Washington and JEFF

play by forward passing for the point
after touchdown and that one point was
the margin Of victory.

Many colleges are being accused of
over playing athletics. This question has
caused many worries to the college pres
idents. 1t is of vital interest to all of
those who are interested in the advance
ment of public education in our colleges
and universities. I would like to put in
a good word in favor of the college ath-
1ete. I believe that the athletes in the
American colleges Of today have proved
that they are a very important cog in
the school life.
Now it is not my intention to infer that
athletics are as important as the aca-
demic program, but they do help to pro-
mote an interest in the class work.
Nowadays nearly all Of the schools re-
quire their athletes to have a certain
high scholastic standing before they are
eligible for contest. This, Of course,
helps to keep the students interest in
his work UP to a higher point. 1t is
mighty hard on a good man to have to
stay out Of a contest on account of low
grades and the ones who amount to
anything at all will work their heads off
just to keep off the delinquent list.
Many will advance the argument that
he will not have time to spend many
hours on his studies after giving so
much time to the work on the field. But
If you will notice the scholastic records
made by the majority Of the noted ath-
letes you will find that their class work
is far above the average.

ENGINEERS ASK
$4,000 LOCAL
HARBOR UPKEEP
Over S375,OOO Request
ed for Mobile; $685.
900 For Dredging
BlackWater.
BY GEO. II. MANNING
Washington Correspondent Of Tho
.Journal

WASHINGTON, Dec. Am appro-
priation Of $4,000 for maintenance of
Pensacola harbor during the fiscal year
commencing July 1. 1922, was requested
from congress by the board OF engineers
for rivers and harbors today
This sum will be expended as follows:
Removal of $4,000 cubic yards Of ma
terial from the entrance channel, $1,000;
minor repairs to the dredge Caucus and
the launch Arrow, $4,000; care of plant,
$4,000, and overhead and office expenses,
$4,000.
For the improvement and maintenance
of the harbor at Mobile $376,400 was
asked by the engineers. Other appro-
priatIons recommended for the north
western part of Florida which comes I'M
der the Montgomery district, were: Es-
Gambia and Conecuh rivers, $4,000 for
dredging and contingencies; Blackwater
river, $25, 900 for dredging and minor re-
pairs, and moving plant from st. An
drews Bay to Blackwater Bay and re-
turn; Holmes river. $3.50 for snagging;
Choctawhatchee river, $1,000 for .snag
900 for maintenance; Chattahoochee river
Ga, $125,000, Of which $4,000 is for
new work and the balance for mainte-
nance; Apalachicola river, 1852, 900 in
Guiding $4,000 for new work, and $lO,-
600 for maintenance; Apalachicola Bay,
$4,000 for redredging.
On Carrabelle bar and harbor the re-
port says no work will be needed during
the next few fiscal years. In Lagrange
bayou the funds now available are con-
sidered sufficient until the end Of the
next fiscal year. On the narTows In
Santa Rosa sound no further work Will
be required until after the close Of the
next fiscal year.
Speaking of the Pensacola harbor pro-
feet which was adopted by the river and
harbor act of June IS, 1902, and com
pleted in 1915, the report of the engt-
neers says: THE north groin IS still in
good condition. The south groin, prac-
tically destroyed by the storms Of July
and october, 1915, has been rebuilt. The
net result of the Improvement has been
an increase in depth of about feet over
the bar at the mouth of the harbor,
permitting vessels of deeper draft to
proceed to Pensacola. The controlling
depth of the entrance channel at the end
of the fiscal year was 30 feet at mean
low water. the project depth. The width
was practically 400 feet. The total ex-
penditures under the existing project
were 1851, 9.74 for new work and SAIL
49o.95 for maintenance, a total OF $685.
