1t may be added that in the opinion
Of thousands Of wage earners the

piled to them in their disputes with

l asked Mr.. Hammond if it was
true, as frequently charged, that the
miners were infected by bolshevism.
There are good many COM

replied, thoughtfully, land they are
by no means confined to the miners

the communist leaders are native
Americans, although it is true that
their teachings spread easiest among
the foreign element.

Most certainly not. The radi-

of Lewis and / believe that he is
doing everything possible to drive
them out of the ranks of his or
ganization just as Gompers is try
ing to do in the American Fedora

contact with number of the labor
leaders, and I have long been salts
fed that labor unions are here to

for employers to back men of the
type of Gompers and Lewis instead
of letting union organizations get
into the hands of men like Bill Hay

leader among the Kansas miners"
asked Mr.. Hammond to sum up
for me what he regarded as the ac-
complishment of the Federal Coal
Commission.
We'll" he said with a smile, "if
you are asking me to answer our
critics l will have to be excused
Personally l feel satisfied with the
Presidents statement in his mes
sage to Congress that our report
| was the best ever made on the sub
ject. The trouble with a good many
criticisms that have been made is
that they are based on ignorance
of what our commission was. We
! were blamed, for instance, for not
preventing the strike in the anthra-
cite field, but we were absolutely
without authority to do anything of
the kind. We were strictly a fact
finding body, and I believe that our
report contains the greatest amount
| of data that has ever been collected
in the coal industry. That report
gives foundation of solid facts on
which the government can now pro-
ceed if it so wishes.
''As a matter of fact, I do not be-
lieve that abuses in the coal indus
try can be ended by outside inter
ference. Reform in the coal indus
try must come and the one way to
start that reform is to give the
American people the facts. That is
what our commission has done. AS
far as definite action went we did
intervene, and successfully, in the
| bituminous field and brought about
an agreement which prevented a
market scare and stabilized prices.
That action alone saved the gov
ernment in its purchase of coal
much more than the 100000 which
| was spent by the commits sion."

MINNEAPOLIS. Minn., Nov. 15.- Minnesota stopped Red" Grange today and Illinois big ten conference cham pionship aspirations went tumbling as a rejuvenated Gopher eleven pounded its way to a 20 to z victory over Zuppke's . men.
 Out of the realm of improbability and rated even more remote by many Gophers snatched victory through the brilliant attack of a backfield whose pace was set by Clarence Scutte, half back and an all around defense that was superb. Only in the first period did things look dark for Minnesota for in that season, the much, feared Grange made a ten-yard dash around his left end for Illinois only touchdown. After that he was only menace that did not materialize.
 Near the close of the third period, an injury when he was tackled forced Grange out of the game but long before that Minnesota had established its su- periority by two touchdowns in the second period and another in the third and in the final period the Gopher threatened.
 In every department it was a new Gopher team that brought about the downfall of Grange and the Illini and the 30,000 Maroon and Gold rooters went frantic with joy as their cohorts fought the Zuppke men off their feet.
 Even at the end of the first half
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-11-16

Two weeks after the Wisconsin game, with the score nothing to nothing down to the last five minutes, we staged a dramatic finish against Chicago which gave us a touchdown and 7-to-O win one minute before the whistle.
 Another two weeks later, playing Michigan with the score tied at 7-to-7, Huffman broke through the Michigan line, blocked Stecketee's punt and fell on the ball behind the fine for touch down. Stinchcomb kicked goal, making the score 14-to-7 in our favor. We had just time to line up for the next kick off when time was called.
 Within One Move Of Championship
 With Wisconsin, Chicago and Mich igan thus beaten, only Illinois stood between us and the championship. Bob Zuppke's aggregation was a powerful one, including Carney, all-American left end, and Bob and Ralph Fletcher. re- spectively, quarterback and left half back. We knew we would have a hard time with this bunch.
 That was the way it turned out. We had a terrific struggle. One Illinois held us within foot of their goal. Once they battered their way to within six inches of our goal. Both teams went scoreless right down to the final play. As I said before, few ticks of the watch made all the difference in the world as to the final outcome.
 Looked Like O-O Tie
 But, with the crowd all set for a scoreless tie, with Illinois convinced that they had held us safely, our boys suddenly broke loose in last tempes- tuous charge. With only minute and a half to play, we got the ball on our own 33-yard line, following beautiful effort by Stinchcomb, who ran back a punt by Hellstrom 17 yards, and start ed march down the field. From Hi nois' 45-yard line a forward pass was successfully completed to Truck" My CTS, on the enemy's 15-yard line. He turned and made dash for an attempt at touchdown.

 STOPS ILLINOIS DEAD
Red Grange Makes 10-Yard Run For Lone Illini
 Score 20 To7

however, with Minnesota leading 14 to z, there seemed a feeling of inse- curity among the Gopher followers for they remembered Illinois comeback at Chicago week ago. But when the third period was well underway, the Gophers had definitely marked themselves su- perior.
 In the net result, aside from his touchdown, Grange was not much help for while he advanced the ball from scrimmage q total oe "A yards, he was thrown for losses totaling g yards. His best run was a, 25-yard return of an intercepted forward pass.
 It was the terrific punch of the Min nesota line that repeatedly stopped the Illini attempts rather than in line plunges or end running, for time and again a forward broke through to stop an Illinois play almost before it could get started.
 Gophers Are Superior
 In results as measured in yardage gained from scrimmage and in first down, the Gophers' superiority is shown. for Minnesota gained 351 yards from scrimmage and lost 16, while Illionis gained 102 yards and lost 32. On first downs the Gophers led with 15 from scrimmage on straight plays and one on an Illinois penalty, while Illinois made three in carrying the ball, two on for ward passes and one by Gopher penalty.
 In forward passing, Illinois tried 16, completing six for Q total gain of S3 yards, Minnesota intercepted three and the others were incomplete. Minnesota tried seven puasses, six were incomplete and Grange intercepted the other.
 Tribute to the Gopher team, particu- larly the line. was paid by Coach Bob Zuppke, of Illini, before he left for Urbana tonight, declaring the Minne- sota line "outplayed Illinois just like Chicago did," and that accounted in q large way for Minnesota's 20 points.
 Minnesota won the game on its merits," Zuppke said, land that's all there is to it. The margin of super iority was represented by the differ ence in lines, Schutte and Graham play ed a remarkable game of football"

ENTERPRISE AND
 LOTHIAN IN TIE

LOTHIAN, Ala, Nov. 15.-(SpeciaD Dothan High school eleven and the Golf fee County High school eleven battled to a 12 to 12 deadlock here before the largest crowd ever attending football game in Dothan.

With five seconds to play in the first half, an Enterprise man blocked Browns s punt behind his own goal line and re- covered for a touchdown.
 With the score standing against them, Dothan started drive in the last quarter on their own twenty-yard line, featured by an aerial attack, Ivey to Byrd, ending in the tying touchdown.

HARVARD DROPS THIRD STRAIGHT Brown Bear Scores Vic tory Over Crimson
 Eleven, 70

CAMBRIDGE, Miss, Nov. 15.--Still Gripped in the tiores of the blind stag gers that sent them careening to a3l to 0 defeat at the paws of the Princeton Tiger week ago, Harvard dropped her third consecutive annual encounter with the Brown Bear here today by score of 2 to 0.
 The game was slow to watch, except for the second period, when Brown scored on two brilliantly executed for ward passes, and two smashing line plunges by Klump. who momentarily substituted for left half back, Keefer. Keefer had been on the receiving end of both passes which led directly to the touchdown.
 Defensivcly Harvard showed to bet- ter advantage, but throughout the game. play was pretty much bunting af- fair, with the two teams about evenly divided in distance thus gained. Il

an outstanding player and was elected captain of the team. He justified his choice in 1920. He not only had the gift of leadership, but real football mind, with unique power of diagnos- ing situations as they arose on the field that counted heavily in our successes.
 Truck" Myers, our left end, was another strong factor. He was fine player out of himself by everlastingly working to perfect his game. He had come to me a green hand.
 Stinchcomb was perhaps the outstand- ing star of the squad. The critics unanimously picked him for all-Amer- ican halfback.
 A Half Minute Victory.
 Our series of home-stretch victories in 1920 began with the Wisconsin game. Wisconsin was leading, to 6, with only four seconds to play. It had developed a powerful attack which gave it touchdown in the first period Four minutes before the close of the game, Camptain Huffman, popping up the whole Ohio team, started an ad- vance which eliminated in a pass, Workman to Stinchcomb, that brought a touchdown, but, with only two min utes to go, we failed to kick the goal that would have tied the score. On the kickoff only a minute was left, and after a few exchanges we lost ground so that, with fourth down to go, we were on our own 20-yard line. Then a forward pass from Workman was car ried by Stinchcomb to midfield. The same pass, received by Stinchcomb on Wisconsin's 20-yard line, was carried by him to a touchdown just as the whis- tie ended the game. We kicked goal, making the score 1877. The winning play had been put over in the last 80 seconds.
 Nerve Hacking Game
 That was a nerve-racking game. At it's conclusion the spectators were so exhausted they were slow to leave their seats. Walter Camp had left his place in the press box to witness the finish and was as excited as freshman.

CHICAGO WINS
 BY 3 TO 0 SCORE

CHICAGO, Nov. 15.-The Chicago Maroons, who tied Illinois and entered the game overwhelming favorites, were barely able to nose out 8 to o victory over Northwestern university today Ralph Banker, fleet Purple halfback, played a sensational game while North westerns forward wall succeeded in holding Austin McCarty, the Maroon S touted fullback to small gains.
 Chicago's score came in the final pe- riod when Curley was injected into the game and dropkicked from the 27-yard line after Chicago marched almost the whole length of the field on straight line plunges, but they fought for every inch of ground, Northwestern stubborn ly contesting.
 Chicago's victory, combined with the defeat of Illinois by Minnesota, places the Maroons in the lead in the big ten race. Chicago, to win the title, has yet to overcome Wisconsin.

A few ticks of the watch-that was the Western Conference championship hung on in 1920 and only few. Let them have come earlier by the space of their own compass and-but that's the story.
 Ohio State and several other univer- sities of the Midwest will not soon forget the season of 1920. It was an Autumn of last-minute finishes. Vic tory would elude the outstretched hands of the grasping teams right down to the dusk of the arly darkening after noon. Then. with the referee beginning to finger his whistle in anticipation of the signal that would end the bat tie, there would come a break. One of the battling elevens would burst the bonds that had held it and romp over its opponent to thrilling victory.
 Ohio State Will Remember
 Ohio State had especial cause for remembering tilts of this nature for it emerged the winner from a series of them. Breathtakingly our boys would stage final strategy that would dis comfit the enemy. And time after time their fellowes would join in a paean of triumph.
 We had a great team at Columbus that year. Its members never knew the meaning of surrender.
 You remember our forward-pass com binaticn. Workman to Stinchcomb" was a phrase almost as common in the west as the famous Tinker to Evers to Chance" "Hoge" Workman at quar- ter and Pete Stinchcomb at right half played every phase of football expertly. But they had developed the aerial game to the last degree of efficiency.

 Then there was Huffman, left tackle and captain. This lad never had had a football in his hands until he re- ported to me as a candidate. He picked up the game so fast that he soon became

 football at Ohio State Univer-
sity, is also professor of Physic-

football at OnlO Stdte OuiNei-
 sity, is also professor of Physic- al Educat ton and director of intra- mural athletics.
 Under his guidance, intra-mural athletics have been highly developed at the university. Working on the basis that everybody should be inter- estcd in athletics, he has perfected an organization which draws upon all groups of the school and gets them into some form of outdoor exercise during the year. Fratern- ities. eating clubs, churches. dormi- tories, informal organizations of every kind, are organized in the form of military units and are thorough. ly drilled. Out of registration of 5000 students, 6750 are regular members of the Intra-Mural Athletic association.
 He makes football and physical education go hand in hand. A lec- lure room in the great new stadium at Ohio State is used for the dis crssion of problems in football.
 Dr. Wilce joined Ohio State in 1913 and since then its elevens has been in the forefront of western football. In 1916, 1917 and 1920 it won the Conference and AllWestern championships. In 1915, 1919 and 1921 it was runner-up.
 He is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin, where he played tackle anu center in his freshman year and varsity fullback in his sophomore, juinor and senior years, being the bulwark of the offense and defense. The fall of his graduation, in 1910, he coached the Lacrosse (Wis.) High school eleven. In 1911 and 1912 he was graduate manager and assist ant professor of physical education at Wisconsin. Since then he has been at Ohio State.
