Bluege Is Picked as
 Successor for Peck

Washington. Nov. i9.-When Third Baseman Bluego was shifted to shortstop for the Nationals in the world series, due 10 pecklnpaugh's s injury, tho experts lamented the fact that so great a third basemsn had to be used short.
 Despite the fact that Bluege is the most promising young third Daseman in the America league, 1t Is q well known fact to those on the inside that he is being groomed for shortstop.
 It is easier 10 dig up a crack third sacker than star shortstop. It is the belief here that Blucge is destined to be a remarkable short stop, worthy successor to Peck inpaugh.
 Bluege likes to play short better than third--showed that he could do the trick in the series. He IS cer- tain to get the call at that position when Peckinpaugh has outlivcd his usefulness as a regular.

DECISION BY FEBRUARY 1
Cancellation Of Elk Hills Lease May or May Not be Ordered at That Time, Lawyers Say.

Los Angeles. Cal, Nov. 1?. - A decision in the governments suit to cancel Elk Hills naval oil lease and contracts held by l.. L. Dohenys s Pan-American Petroleum and Trans port company, may be expected be- fore February l, according to an announcement by Federal Judge P. J. Mccormick, when trial of the case was concluded yesterday.
 In summing up the governments case, Owen J. Roberts. special coun- eel appointed by President Coolidge, declared;
 We have averred and still insist: First, that there was and has been proved conspiracy between Albert B. Fall, secretary of the interior in 1929, and Edward L. Doheny. Sec ond, that the $l0o,o0O loan between them contained every element Of a bribe. Third, that fraud was worked on the United States by what was done"
 On the basis of those allegations. which he said the government had amply proved, Roberts called on the court to cancel the leases and con- tracts. notwithstanding defense counsel's harping on the Pearl Harbor project" which gave the navy fuel oil base in return for Elk Hills oil and notwithstanding the defense portrait of Doheny as "a shining citizen"

 SEE GAME IN BOWL
(Continued from Preceding Page)

Chick" Mechan's Orange team

 26 to 0, Boston College 10 to 0, Penn
 State 10 to 6, and Niagara 23 10 0. It has tied Pittsburgh, [ 10 z, and lost to West Virginia Wesleyan.
 Until their downfall at the hands of the West Virginians last week, the Syracusans were on their way to membership in the elect of the eastern season. Their victory over Boston college, conqueror of Mar quette, indicated that Meehan had developed another strong contender. A year ago, boosting an undefeated season. in which one field goal had been scored against it, the Orange went down before Colgate and the Hamilton eleven might repeat with out causing any tremendous amount Of surprise in the football world.
 A stirring individual tilt will mark the Syracuse contest when Mcbride of Syracuse and Tryon of Colgate come to grips. Mcbride holds fourth place among the high scorers of the east with six touchdowns, fl points | after touchdown and eight field goals. Tryon is in second place, with fourteen touchdown, and five points after touchdown. If the Orange checks Tryon, Benkert Of Rutgers is assured of the leadership of the season.
 The Lehigh-Lafayette clash at Easton, Pa., is the third feature on the eastern program with Lehigh the favorite as the result of tying 0 to 0, and Rutgers, 13 to IS, Rutgers swamped Lafayette.
 Rutgers meets Bucknell at Phil adelphia and is expected to end its season undefeated, although the Pennsylvanians will have a team hat has shown power and has lost ,nly one game, that to Lafayette, 21 0 3.

 Representative Tincher republi- can, Kansas, spokesman for the house farm bloc announced yester- day after conference with Senator Curtis, republican of the same state, thab no effort would be made to press farm legislation at the impend- ing session before the presidents commission reports. In the opinion ot farm bloc members, he explained. agriculture, especially in Q large sec- ton of the west, has been given suf- ficient stimulus to tide the farmer over for the time being.
 Recognizing the immensity of their task, members of the adminis- tration's agricultural commission have decided that any effort to formulate a program 10 provide lasting prosperity for the farmer would be time wasted until official statistics on all phases of the aues-d ton could be prepared to guide them.
