COWBOY FROSH
BEAT COLORADO
FROSH 20 TO 2

That the University of Wymoing
has this year the strongest Fresh
man football eleven In the history
Of the school was shown conclusive
ly when the Wyoming Cowboys
scored q 20 to 2 victory over the
strong yearling aggregation from the
Colorado State Agricultural College.
With the exception of the first quar-
ter. the Wyoming Frosh were never
headed by Aggie yearlings and In the
final quarter next years contend
ers for berths on the Cowboy varsity
opened up with an attack which
completely bewildered the lads from
FIT. Collins.
Dick Denman, already becoming
known as the Red Grange " Wy
oming," was the outstanding star in
the Cowboy lineup and he was good
for long gains whenever called upon.
His broken field running was partic-
uiarly spectacular and On one oc-
casi0n he returned a kick 60 yards
for a touchdown.
AS a team the Frosh worked to-
gether like a varsity machine and
their tackling vas the best that had
been seen on the Wyoming gridiron

Previous to their victory owe the
Aggie Freshman eleven, the Wyo-
ming "Calfboys' scored a As to 0

CLOCKS
High School Debaters Learn
Part They Play in Con-
serving Time.

Why seven hundred clocks are
required in the Treasury Depart
ment, and the economic part they
play in conserving time and guard
ing against losses likely to ensue
from depending on wrist watches,
has been worked out by the United
States Civil Service Commission.
The information was transmitted
today to a high school debating
class in a western city.
incidentally the supposition that
the Treasury Department is a
repository for antiques excited by
the continued use Of clocks dating
back to the vintage of 1882. is
completely dispelled by the com.
missions report.
According to he commission, there
are $4,000 employees in the Treasury
Department. The seven hundred
clocks are stragetically located so
that approximately each clock af-
fords opportunity for some two

regard one clock to two hundred
and fifty employees an eXtravagant
investment in wall timepices, nor
the time required in winding them
up a misspent activity. The Smith.
sonian Institution was indicated by
the commission as the repository
for curios and American antiques,
the curator being referred to for
information on ancient American
clocks.
According to the commission it is

During American Tour.
BY International News Service

MUNICH, March 15.-The presid.

dorff-Hitler high treason trial today
read letter from Cardinal Faui-
haber. Of Bavaria, protesting
against Gen. Erich Ludendorff's
statement charging him with anti.
German propaganda during his
American tour last year.
Ludendorff's accusations were
made in his speech of defense when
he asserted that the Vatican had
INSTRUCTED Germany's . chances Of
winning the great war through it's
peace efforts.
Gen. Won Lossow, commander Of
the Bavarian reichswehr at the
time of the Bavarian nationalist
revolt last November, sent letter
to the judge refusing to appear in
court again. He had been star
witness. This letter led counsel for
the defense to aver that Won Los
SOW had been forced to testify
against his will.
