|GridirOn Foes
Divide Only
% Points in
Four Games
BY r. d. THOMAS


Judging the immediate future
by the past, the fifth annual
clash of the Mohawk and Mercury
footballs teams, next Sunday, will
result in a close score, if not in
tie. Washington's two fore
most Independent gridiron teams
have scored a total of twenty
two points in four games. The
Mercury club has scored twelve
and the Mohawks ten. That's
close competition sure enough.
The first game was scoreless.
The second was won by Mercury,
8 to o. The third was 1O-to-9
Mohawk victory and the fourth
was scoreless.
What next?
This question has the sandlotters
tongue-tied. The Mohawk team has
made a fair record this season and
Mercury has accomplished little.
If comparative records governed
the odds, the Mohawk eleven would
enter the game Sunday q distinct
favorite. But records constitute
uncertain data when Mercury meets
Mohawk. It is not forgotten that
the Geonicks ran roughshod over
the Mohawks last season; that the
Geonicks were beaten by the
Mercury eleven, and that the Mo-
hawks held Mercury to a scoreless
deadlock.
The Mercury club win send its
team into battle Sunday with the
the underdOg, held off Yale.
Those who tried to guess the re-
suit Of the Harvard-Yale clash
by a comparison Of records were
fooled.
Those who have studied the
careers Of the Mohawk and Mer-
curry clubs will bank not heavily
on comparative scores. The Winged
Foot eleven has been prone to
underestimate the strength Of sew
eral teams and partly Of a con-
sequence has lost two games this
season.
Mercury was beaten in the final
quarter by the surprising Apaches.
who later were whipped by the Mo.
hawks. But the Apaches made the
Mohawks hustle all the way and
some hold to the opinion that the
Mohawks were favored by the
breaks.
For the first time this season
the Mercury club viii be fully
prepared when it encounters the
MOhawIxs. The Winged-FOOt crew,
late getting into condition, has
put I'm hours Of assiduOus toll.
Raggedness I'm team play has
been corrected. LaclxadaiSicaa
spirit has disappeared. Mercury
feels that q victory over the Mo-
hawks would offset its mediocre
record to date.
And the Mohawk club is not a
bit cocky as its big game nears.
The Indain chieftans, when the
eligibility lists were turned in, mado
long, thoughtful examination OF
the Winged-F'oot forces and noted,
particularly, such names as De Gas.
sis, Wiggie King, Nick Busch and
Breslin, familiar to followers OF
Georgetown University's gridiron
teams, and Harry Harris, that once
graced the West Virginia Noun
taineers" lineup, not to speak OF
Ganey, Beyers, Hurd, Myers, VIII
lie Thomas, Paul Cox and other
names that every sandlot bug
knows.

Bumper Maryland Cora Crop Is
Seen.

A corn crop calculated to bulge the
graneries Of Maryland farmers is in sight
this year, il average growing conditions
prevail from now until harvest This fact
is brought to the fore by John S. Dennee,
Federal crop statistician for Maryland.
He makes the statement, he says, after
reading scores of reports from farmer-cor-
respondents on the average date of August
LIST and summing up his own observations
made while on trip over the State during
July.
Condition on August LIST was estimated
by the Crop Reporting Board of the United
States Department Of Agriculture at SO
per cent Of normal. according to Mr. Dem
nee, suggesting yield OF 38 bushels to the
acre and a probable production Of 24.556.-
900 bushels. Production last year was
18.538.000 bushels. and the average for
the five years Q920-l924) is 23.926, 900.
A short crop last year. caused for the
most part by unfavorable weather at plant
ing time and subsequently, combined with
purpose on the part OF farmers to increase
feed crops this year are believed to be the
major reasons for larger acreage esti-
mated to be per cent over that of 1924.
Persistently dry weather in June allowed
close cultivation OF the crop, and farmers
paid good deal more attention last spring
to the selection OF their seed. Figured at
current prices the crop in sight this year
has an estimated worth of about $50, 941.-
900 at the farm gate. Little Of Maryland's
corn is marketed as grain. The product
goes mainly TO maintain work animals and
breeding stock on the farms. What is not
used in that way is marketed in the form Of
live stock and livestock products.
Corn is the most important single crop
grown in Maryland.
A winter wheat crop of l1,813,000
bushels is predicted for Maryland by the
United States Crop Reporting Board. &C.
cording to Mr.. Dennee. Production last
year was 1882 900 bushels and the 5-year
average Q920-l924) is 8. sos, 900 bushels
The harvested area this year was $4,000
acres, comparable with $4,000 acres har-
vested in 1924.
The winter was extra good for the growth
Of wheat and the Maryland crop came
through" in excellent shape. says Mr.. Den
nee-little winter-killine except in the
Alleeany Mountains district.
Farmers generally tell of high yields.
Quality averaged 90 per cent of a high
medium grade-6 per cent better than the
ten-year average. Yields averaged 81
bushels to the acre, against 1871. the aver
age of the preceding ten years.
At prevailing prices the crop has an
estimated value of about SIS. 56l. 900 at
the farm gate. Wheat is Maryland's second
crop in total value.
