Schoelfeld has been sent to this city as general director for Europe.
 The products bought by Europe from America, are, in the order of their importance, cotton, grain, to- bacco, fruit and meat. The various European bureaus study local crop reports, the needs of the population for the various articles imported, and the time when the American crop is wanted in Europe. They inform the European purchaser of current prices and, wherever the department has established standards recogniz- ed among the American producers, place these at the service of the Flu ropean buyers. This increases conf dence in American business honesty, and thus helps the American produc- CT in winning back the European market which he lost in large part during the war.
 Another phase of the work of the European bureaus is that of keeping information on improved methods of agricultural development discovered or introduced by European farmers. If sugar bee grower in Germany succeeds in raising particularly fine

Rockne Plan of Coaching
 Enters Upon Second Year
(By Associated Press)

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. Mar. 13.- A giant Swede who coached an Irish eleven of Indian into the national
 gridiron pereage will come to the ancient College of William and Mary here next June His baggage will consist largely of a bag of crafty
 tricks, whose intricate mechanism he will eXpound to the coaches who guide football destinies on southern
 greenswards. His name is Knute
 Rockne, of Notre Dame, and he
 comes to conduct his second school
 for mentors in Virginia.
 1 Last year Rockne held first in-
 stitute here and coaches who attend
 ed declare the influence of his teach l ings was reflected on many southern
 gridirons during the past season. So pleased were his pupils with his in structions that they prevailed on him
 to take up the chalk for another se-
 ries of lectures. Rockne recently
 wired assent and J. Wilder Tasker, William and Mary coach, has broad
 cast invitations to mentors over the 1 entire south to attend The courses
 will cover two weeksA
 Originality marks the methods of instruction Blackboard diagrams ex- plain the morning lectures while in
 the afternoons the famous coach dons l football togs with his class and puts
 his theories into actual play. He does not spare himself either in the classrooms, where lectures last for l five hours daily, or on the field,
 where actual demonstrations demand strenuous physical effort. Carrying
 the ball or holding down the crucial
 point in the line, Rockne is nearly always in the thick of the scrimmage. Many of the formations which
 rolled the Irish eleven to victories in 1923 were seen on the gridirOns of Virginia last fall Rockne's teach i ing is never vague, and he stresses the theory of modern football into
 the minds Of his students as easily
 as lie drills his tactics into his fly l ing backfields at home.

 The department of agriculture in Europe works in close cooperation with the commercial attaches and the consulates, but limits itself strictly to raw products. Take the case of fruit, for instance. Apples, pine apples or oranges in their natural state are the concern of the depart ment, but the moment an apple is canned or dried, it falls within the jurisdiction of the commercial at tache. In this way overlapping and conflict are avoided

BOWEN BEATS DUNDEE
IN BARRACKS SCRAP

Boxing was resumed last night at
Washington Barracks after consid-
cradle length of inactivity. and a
fair sized crowd was on hand to wit
ness the work of the leatherpushers.
In the main bout of the evening
Eddie Bowen OF Washington gave
Hank Dundee of Baltimore a neat
trimming in 10 rounds. While Bowen
is given eight out of the ten rounds,
it was not one-sided fight by any
means and the walloping Wop from
swapping punches all the way.
Dundee took the first and sixth
rounds-the others were Bowens.
In a hot miX-up on the ropes in
the fifth round Bowen caught Dundee
flush on the jaw with a terrific left.
The BalCimorean took the count of
nine and arose groggy, but managed
to stick the round out. Again in the
seventh Bowen dropped his man with
body punches and it looked like a
Knockout victory. but again the
gameness of Dundee showed to the
front and he was in there fighting
as the gong rang, ending the last
round.
Staged as the semi-final, the bout
between Jack kaufman of the Naval
Reserves and Jack Cody of Fort
Myer was short and sweet. Both
boys went after it hammer and tongs,
with Cody having a distinct ad-
vantage. Kaufman was warned sew
eral times for hitting low and in the
second round was disqualified on a
low blow on which there could be no
question.
Pep Albee had the better of Joe
Piscatelli of Fort Myer at the end of
four rounds. The boys stood toe TO
toe and swapped punches until they
were arm weary.
Jack Cafoni, Washington Barracks.
had the better of Kid Slamey in six
rounds. Slamey was fast and caused
the Army lad to miss considerably
but Cafoni did practically all the
fighting.
Harry Sheehy (Kid Sullivan}, who
was a topnotcher when the present
day crop of boxers were in dresses,
put on an interesting four-round ex-
hibition with Gene Marchaud of Fort
Monroe.

to see waged between two game, cour-
ageous. skillful. pugnacious cham
pions, and the good big man beat the
good little man.
The Wills-W -Weinert bout was a crime
from the start. Charley is to be cred
tied for his gameness, but more than
this nothing can be said for him. He
was outclassed by a bronze giant who
weighed 80 pounds more than he did
and the wonder is not that he was
knocked out in the second round but
that he did not receive mortal in
juries. One of Wills body blows de-
livered almost at the outset not only
raised big bruise, but cut the flesh
Just under the kidneys. The humane
fans were relieved when Weinert was
finally revived in his corner and able
to leave the ring.
But the big sensation of the evening
was Shades knockout of Jim Slattery,
the Buffalo sensation, who was looked
upon as the coming unbeatable phe-
nom. In speaking of the bout the
other day. the writer said that Slat-
terry might be in for a peck of trouble
from this lean-jawed Californian, this
shifty, experienced, hard-hitting vet
eran of the ring.
As it turned out, Shade proved that
he knew altogether too much for the
Buffalo middleweight. Slattery never
did get set for blow, because the
weaving method that Shade employed
deprived his opponent of anything
that family resembled a stable target.
But Slattery proceeded cody enough
and the fans were all waiting for the
time when he would solve the West
coast lads style and plaster him
when crack Slattery it was who was
plastered while the customers rubbed
their eyes. .t
Jimmy got up, but was put down
again, and up he got again, when his
manager humanely threw a towel into
the ring to save him from possible
serious injury. Slattery showed his
lack of experience against a past
master of boxing, who knew how to
take advantage of it.
Mickey Walker, had he beaten
Greb, would have gone after light
heavies. He will have plenty to do in
his own division, principally against
Dave Shade, who stands as challenger.
If Walker knew that Shade was as
good as he showed last night, no won
der he has been evading him.
From the looks of things battle
between the two would be great set
to, and one that the fans would pay
heavily to see. Here is tip for some
ambitious promoter.
