In one thing at least, Henry
Ford stands at the foot of the
class. He spends less for adver'
Using his railroad. the Detroit.
Toledo and Ironton, than is spent
by any other Class road in the
United States. In 1921, his road
spent $66.22 for paid publicity. His
road is 1894 miles long.
The Bureau of Railway Eco
nomics today furnished advertising
figures for all Glass 1 roads for
the year of 1921. The complete
data for 1922 will shortly lie avail.
able. Part of the 1922 figures are
on hand. These show that Henry
got real stingy with his advertising
appropriation in 1922, and reduced
the $66.22 of 1921 to $3.50 in 1922,
Quite in contrast to the Ford ad-
vertising expenditure are the fig

Some Big Expenditures.
For instance, the Pennsylvania
system is shown to have spent
$443,7S2 for advertising its 1884
miles of railroad.
The New York Central spent
$2O9,793 on it's $500 miles.
The Baltimore & Ohio spent
$1S9.796 on 5,212 miles. The New
York, New Haven and Hartford
spent $115,3O2 on 1000 miles. The
Michigan Central, $56,747 on 1862
miles. The Illinois Central, $1l2,-
AIT on 6,226 miles.
The Southern Railway, $685.
on 6,971 miles. The Southern Pa
cific, $394,S45 on 11,129 miles. The
Union Pacific spent $34!,641 on
3,711 miles. The Chicago, Burling.

cording to statistics Of the Inter
state Commerce Commission. Its
capital stock is $12,50O.0O0. It's
total investment in road and equip.
ment was $24,562, 661.36 in 1921.
Employees Well Paid.
The $66.22 that Henry spent in
1921 was divided between passen-
ger and freight service. 1t is
known that Ford is the chief
freight customer of his road. The
amount spent for advertising the
freight carrying possibilities of the
Detroit. Toledo and Ironton rail.
road amounted to $3.50. That
spent for inducing passenger traf
fic amounted to 1888.
In 1921, the records show. Ford
spent $S,647,S15.S1 in wages to en-
| ployes of his road. The operating
expenses ratio to operating reVe
nues was 1918 in 1921.

CORNELL PROVIDES OWN
LIGHT FOR NIGHT WORK

The new stunt Of trying to play
golf at night by means Of electric
light probably was suggested by
the success Of numerous UNIVERSE
ties in holding gridiron practice un-
der artificial illumination. In
schools where they have engineer
ing courses, with late afternoon
classes in lab" and shop work, the
electric lighted football field is quite
common.
At Cornell, where about half the
men on the squad are engineering
students, practice under big diff.
fusing reflectors becomes more and
more the daily order Of things as
the season advances, Schoellkopf
Field and the adjoining practice
ground, Hoy Field, are both profuse.

Grange and q great HIM oIteHss
had much to do with the general
outcome, but the fact would not
down, nevertheless, that Iowa was
. bad football team on SATURDAY. ;.
fngwerson said today. Asked what
he intended to do about It, ne re-
oiled that he would and could do
nothing. There is nothing to he
done when you happen to have tried
every possible combination OF play
ers your squad affords.
And IngwersOn is faced with the
further fact that his team really
was y sound one defenslyeiy until
It ran afOul Of Grange. 1t merely
forgot everything il knew Tor the
occasion in question. lngwersOn
lays much that happened to the
fact that the referee failed to use
o twO-headed coin at the start OF
the game. Iowa lost the toss and
everything else with 1t.
kicking with a semi.gale, Brittoil
punted almost to Iowa's goal line.
Graham's retur IN punt was beatnil
back by the wind for almost no gain
at all and Illinois scored inside of
two minutes. The wind aided IL In
scoring twice more before the teams
changed goals at the end of the
period.
"By that time, the men were dis.
couraged," said Ingwerson, but failed
10 explain why my football team,
has the right to become discouraged.
Such a tendency comes under the
head of extremely bad business and
1t is not seemly to have the thing
advanced as an argument in teams
favor. Far better to admit that
the Hawkeyes simply played most
Indifferent football and let it go
ct that.
Defensively, 1t showed something
with a pair of ends, Otto and RomAyk
that hampered Oranges running
game no little. These wings rank
with the best in this section. Han
cock, at tackle, also is quite a
forward and Parkin is no mans
sap as a running back. A verv
good guard, however, was lost when
Fleckenstein was injured in the
Minnesota game.
The team seemed to lack punch
and ordinary intelligence, both
on attack and defense, but
whether this was due to- its in-
ability to grasp the ZuppIxe sys-
tenn is a question. IL is duly
noted for example, that one
guard was brought out for the
interference but he might just
as wei have joined the cheer
leaders. He never got into the
play. In fact the interference as
q whole was inept.
The men seemed uncertain on ali
running plays and continually beat
the starting signal, necessitating a
shift to another play. Twice It got
the bali on fumbles near the goal
but couldn't do anything about it

SERBIAN WOULD TACKLE
BOTH TURNER AND METRO

Much interest is being shown in
the three-way wrestling bout that
lie to be staged at the Mutual
Theater tomorrow night. Theodor
CORN comes here from Serbia, speaks
English fairly well. Is built like a
giant, tipping the scales above 220
pounds, and has won many q bout
on the other side.
He Is SO sure Of HIS power on the
mat that he has posted 5000 with
Jack Garrison, manager Of the Mu-
tual and sponsor of the bouts, that
he can throw both Joe Turner, the
local wrestler and former middle
weight champion, as well as Charley
Metro, who last week floorcd Turner,
which, by the way, is the first ce-
feat that Turner has had to face
this season, in the same night.

Tech had the bali for almost the
whole game. only surreudering It to
Western long enough for the
worthless from that school to tie up
the game. Tech was very con-
siderate.
The combination that earned the
tie for Tech was made up of Eess-
Ter, Dodson, and Parsons. West
ern's wearers of the halo were
CARRIER and Dulin.
It seemed that all KesSler, cap
tain and quarterback Of Tech, had
to do with the ball was to heave
It In the general direction Of the
goal and Parsons was there. The
final chuck, however, came to rest
In the willing arms II DOdSOl,
who Crawled over the goal for the
first score of the day. Kessler
booted pretty goal for the extra
point.
Then and there the old game
seemed sewed up, and Tech looked
to be on the road to another foot
ball championship. But, not SO.
Western deployed itself all over
the field. They deployed SO fas: and
so FAR that Tech knew not where
they were going Until Beau"
Lamar, a big husky, and one to be
feared in football uniform, walked
over the last line for a touchdown,
from the 6.ysard line. CARRIER added
the point that gave q tie.
With the game apparently dead.
locked, Kessler ordered i series of
passes for Tech. Again the Manual
Trainers went almost I'LL the way
down the field. On the 2S-yard line.
Kessler found that the game had
but thirty seconds to 90. Pressed
for time, he attempted q drop kick
that was wide of the goals, and
Western took the ball.
One more play and the game was
over.
Bright lights shOne brilliantly I'm
that game. Lamar, Dulin, David
ana various other WeSternerS per.
formed valiant feaCS 20 hold Tech.
And Tech showed Just as good a
defensive game. Tubby WOndrack
was the biggest defensive player
for Tech. That boys good.
Parsons, and both Techs ends
were in play after play, much to
the irritation OF Western.
Now that q tie game has cropped
into the dope, the championship rs
not likely to be decided this year.
II Western can win its remaining
games. and on paper it seems prob
able they will, a tie with Tech is
inevitable. No high school games
are ever played over, unless both
schools sanction it, and that is
almost unprecedented. Tech and
Central tied one year, and Tech
was awarded the title because Cen.
trail had two tie games on its card.
The game was far above the
usual high school game in the cal.
iber of the playing. Both teams
Were. well coached and versatile.

While the regulars were resting
the second team scored two touch
downs on the freshmen. One Of
these was carried on run around
end by Don Darby, who has been
shifted from his regular position
at right end and has been given
place in the backfield for a
trial behind the line.
Darby started work as a back
last season when he first came out
for the varsity but he was moved
to the flank where he won his

in all Virginia's games, but with

just now needs strength behind the

ends.
Virginia's backs have been

ball this season. FumbIes have

teams later scored on straight

that the final outcome might
