va

Worthless Patents.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 17.--Testl'
xaarty was ended yesterday In the
G6Skrnment's rebuttal in its case
against the STANDARD Oil Co. OF IN
diana and 46 other oil companies
charged with pooling alleged worth
less gasoline cracking process
patents, In violation of the ANTITRUST
law. The taking of testimony now Is
completed, after nearly two years of
continuous litigation, but the special
master, sitting here for the United
States Court in the northern district
of Illinois, said it will be nearly a
year before a decision is reached.
Both sides agreed to begin their
Anal argument before the special
master In the United States Court at
Indianapolis May 16.
Special Master Martindale said that
after the final arguments he probably
would require until Fall to prepare his
report for the court in Illinois which
Will hand down the decision.
10000 Pages of Testimony.
The entire testimony taken In the
case since the filing of the first papers
by the Government in January, 1924,
approXimateS 10000 pages, includlng
about 1 900 of written testimony ana
5000 pages of exhibits.
1t was not until April, 1925, that
the Government began extended hear
jngs on its side of the case, which
closed the plaintiffs direct testimony
On October Is last the defense began
to present it's side of the case.
The Government has charged that
the oil companies have no right to
spool" their cracking process pat.
ents, because these patents are no
good. since prior inventions had antic-
1pated them; also that by this pool
the companies have "coerced" trade,
and caused little companies leasing
the patents in the pool to pay high
royalties for using them.
Claim "POOI Was Legal.
The defendant companies have
pleaded that their pool" was entirely
q legal one, since their, patent rights
have justified it; also. that the ''pool"
was formed primarily to avoid a lot
of litigation among the companies
themselves over these patents. It is
also claimed by the defense that by
This pool, in which the patents are
made available for lease to numerous
small companies, the patents attain a
greater usefulness than they would
without the combine.

coach, in letter to Commander
nnas H. Ingram. athletic director at
he Naval Academy. said that in.
competent officiating lost the foot
hall service game for the Navy at
Chicago.
yost stated he saw an Army man
kick the ball after Ransford of Navy
fumbled 1t on the now much-discus-
sed punt. He said he saw one Of the
officials heel the spot where an Army
man kicked the ball as the leather
vas being scooped it over for a touch
down that was then allowed.
Army man who carried it over for
n touchdown that was then allowed
Yost said that the touchdown
should not have been allowed. He
said the kicking Of the ball was in
full sight of practically every one on
the field and in the stands. He said
the Armv man kicked it for several
yards before 1t was scooped up and
carried over for the score.
The letter of Yost is one of hun.
dreds that have been received at the
Naval Academy athletic office stating
practically what Yost said. Most Of
the letters urge that Navy should ask
for the game.
The Navy people. however, despite
that most of the officials and Mid
shipmen are down in the mouth"
over the fact that Navy did not win,
look on the game as a closed affair.
They feel, however. that Navy actu.
allv won and that it was through a
technicality that the game was de-
clared a tie.
Motion pictures now being shown
in Annapolis show clearly that an
Army man kicked the ball after
Ransford fumbled it.

CHICAGO, December S.-When sta
diums now under construction or plan
ned for the immediate future are COM
pleted the 10 universities comprising
the Western Conference will have ath-
letic plants with a combined seating
capacity of $4,000. an increase of
100000 in the last five years.
Yet this expansion has not begun
to take cae of the horde of gridiron
fans. 1t was impossible to squeeze
into the University of Michigan sta
dium at Ann Arbor, for instance. be-
cause every ticket was sold early in
September, even before the season
opened.
The same was true at Chicago and
Northwestern for important games
and also at Ohio State.
Room Still insufficient.
The Soldiers Field Stadium here,
scene of the Army and Navy spectacle
was expanded to care for 10000 per-
sons, but if it could have been in
creased to hold 1000 it would not
have been large enough. Those in
charge of the ticket sales turned
down 100000 applications before the
middle of October. and thousands of
letters still poured in.
Every school in the Big Ten, with
the exception of Iowa, has built new
stadium since the war, although sew
eral are not yet fully completed.
Ohio State started the Stadium-build-
ing era in 1922 by building a gigantic
double -decked horseshoe, larger than
the Yale Bowl, and with a seating
capacity of $4,000. 1t was sold out

a good break at the start Of the game.
Notre Dame also played box de-
Tense and Jake Slagle got off a good
long kick over the Quarterback'S head
that rolled and bumped along until
the ball stopped on the two-yard line
and would not bulge another inch.
Notre Dame kicked out from behind
their own goal line and we had the
ball about 35 yards from ther goal.
We soon had a practical demonstra-
ton Of the defensive strength of this
supposedly second team. 1 never saw
better charging. They held for downs
and we lost the bali.

About the end of the first quarter.

men had had little difficulty in stop.
ping the second teams attack, but
there certainly was a difference be-
tween the Notre Dame first and sec.
ond backfields. There always seemed
to be a hole in our line and the Notre
Dame backs had uncanny ability for
finding it. We held them to two
scores, but that was the best we could
do.
The Princeton players learned a lot
of foot ball in this game. and while 1t
was a hard one to lose I really think
this defeat made the Princeton team
for the Harvard game. The Notre
Dame game showed our players the
value of interference. In talking the
game over our fellows admitted that
it was mighty difficult to get near the
man with the ball. At Cambridge two
weeks later we won against Harvard
because of our splendid interference
and l believe the practical lesson
gained in the Notre Dame game con
tributed a lot toward the play OF
our team against Harvard.
