Former Pride of
Valley Has Short
End of Decision

Dick Hoppe. formerly the pugilis-
tie of El Ccntro, was on the short
end of the decision in the main
event at Hollywood Friday night,
according to dispatches from Los
Angeles, the cX-local boy being Civ
en- quite a trimming br Ace Hud-
kinS, the Nebraska wildcat.
Hudkins took nine of the 10
rounds according to newspaper re-
ports, Dick getting only one round,
the third, Hoppe had been putting
on weight recently and it is believed
by his followers here that this
condition has had tendency to
slow him up.
Dick is still considered good
drawing card around Los Angeles
and is by no means near the end of
his career, though it may be ncccs-
,sary for him to step into the wcltcr
weight division.

CHANGE IS SEEN
IN AMATEUR GOLF
CHAMPION RULES
Ey FRANK GETTY
Omitted Press Staff Correspofldent)


NEW YORK, Sept. IA change
i'll the rules governing the national
amateur golf championship is in
cvitablc
SO much dissatisfaction was ex-
pressed at Oakmont with the meth
od initiated this year of having only
16 qualifiers that il is practically
ccrtail that thc .Buitcd States Golf
association will take action at its
next annual meeting.
The complaint against the present
method is that it places too much
stress upon medal play in the quail
flying round, whereas the amateur
championship is supposed to be de-
cidcd primarily by match play.
Hitherto the national amateur
golf championship has been so ar
ranged as to bring together field
of 32 qualifiers. The objection to
this method was that it took two
days for qualifying play and then
five days of match play to pick the
champion.
Some method of section qualify
ing tests may be devised.
Then the field at Baltusrol, where
Bobby Jones will defend his twic
won title next year could be limit
ed so AS to make possible the play
ing of SO hole qualifying round
in one day, with 32 qualifying and
meeting at match play for the rest
of the week.

START TRAINING
WITH NEW COACH

With the return of its new foot
bali coach, Howard Jones, from Mid
dtctown, Ohio, where he visited his
family after giving summer coach
ing course at Colorado state teach
crs' college, the University OF
southern California today began
preparations for the most strenuous
football season of its career. The
TroJans Will play thirteen games,
beginning with Il doublc-hcader on
September %.
Boyard Field, the university ath-
llctlc grounds, is to be enlarged by
approximately two acres. All thc
land directly back of Old college is
TO be added to the field, which will
thus extend an entire block. To
make this change the demolition of
the chemistry building and the re
moval of the architectural building
is necessary, work having been
started this week. On the ground
cleared by these removals will be IN
stalled u quartcrmilc track and two
baseball diamonds, as an addition TO
the athletic facilities of Boyard
Field, which previously have been
little cramped for the growing un-
iversity. The changes will be COM
plctcd by the first of next year.
This fall business will continue as
usual during alterations and the Bo
ward gridilou will be used for prac-
tice by the Trojan squad. All the
Southern California games arc TO be
played in tho Los Angeles Coliseum
except the Idaho affray, for which
the team will travel to Moscow,
seat of the Idaho institution.

The Wccding-om process Will un-

great care. The TROJAN squad will
not contain more than thirty men
after the season is we'll under way.

the most widely used because Of its
economy and adaptability for all
types of boilers. The cost of in
stalling the CRATES is not excessive
and is many times covered by the
saving in the cost of the coal.
mo better example of the saving
that is possible through the use Of
small sized coal can be cited than
that afforded by the Rutherford,
N. j. High School where the pyra-
mid type Of CRATES were installed
for burning small sized coal and
where rice coal is now being burn
ed. During the school year of 1923
and 1924 this school burned $50
tons of egg coal at a cost of $3,375.
During the school year Of 1924 and
1925, after installing the necessary
equipment, the school burned 1870
tons OF rice coal at a cost of i .045.
The saving in money was 1880
and the saving in coal was "a per
cent.
MANY people have tried to use
oil as a substitute for coal. Oil
can never be a substitute for coal
for two reasons. The first is that
there is not enough oil. The second
reason is that the small sizes Of
coal are at least one-third to one
half cheaper than OIL"

That the present anthracite
strike will be the last that the coun-
try will have is the firm convic-
tion Of Frank Kingsland, nationally
known fuel and heating expert.
sThe public is utterly disguised
with the anthracite strike and the
consequent high prices" said Mr..
Kingsland, in an interview at his
office, 1875 Liberty ST., New York.
UNLESS prices come down." he adj
ded, ethe anthracite coal operators
might as well 60 out of business.
At this time the use of large sizes
Of anthracite has dropped 40 per
cent west of Buffalo and is still go
ing downward. The consumption of
anthracite in the United States is
Is per cent less today than it was
two years ago and is steadily de-
crcasing."
Public buildings, schools, Libraries
and hospitals, despite. the strike,
need not suffer from the fuel
shortage, according to Mr.. Kings
land.
"There is an abundance of substi-
tutes which include buckwheat
and other small sizes of coal,"
he declares, "and their use, along
with the proper equipment for
burning them, is going to af-
ford the public a liberal educa-
ton in fuel economy. The major
ity of consumers of coal do not
realize the amount of unburned
coal that goes out in the ash-can.
A conservative estimate, 1 would
say, would be "a per cent of un-
burned coal in the ash. But buck
wheat or rice coal, used with the
pyramid type of CRATE, is entirely
consumed. This affords a saving
at once of that "a per cent. Buck
wheat coal under normal. conditions
usually costs $3.50 TO $3.50 a ton,
contrasted with minimum normal
cost OF $14.50 per ton for the larger
sizes. The production of buckwheat
constitutes about one-third of the
total production, but because the
public has not been educated to
buy this and other xmall sizes the
buckwheat piles up at the mines
and in the bins of the dealers. By
installing the proper type of CRATES
buckwheat or rice coal can be used
with great economy. There are
available various types Of CRATES
to burn small sizes of coal. Of
these, the pyramid type is probably
