Whether to clip back alfalfa seed
fields still remains a debatable ques-
tion in Custer county. Allen Day of
Beebe, clipped his field of registered
Grimm in June and reports a poor
setting of seed. Sam Jansen of
Coalwood tried the same thing on a
part of his field and reports a heav-
ier setting of seed on the clipped por-
tion of the field than on the part
that remained unclipped.
G. G.. Starring of the horticulture
of Montana State College
was in Rosebud County inspecting
fields of certified seed potatoes last
month. G. e. Byerly's field at lingo
mar planted on dry land by the tuber
unit method, will have poor yield
due to dry weather. H. S. Baringer
of Hathaway reports excellent pros
poets for a good crop from his irri-
gated field.
Comparison of COW testing reports |
of the Cascade Cow Association of |
last June with the reports for the |
same month year ago show strong
increase in average production. Last
June the cows under test in the Cas- +
cade Association had an average pro-
duction of 30.7 pounds of butter fat
and S41.2 pounds of milk as com
pared with 29.1 pounds of butter
fat and 1851 pounds of milk in June
1925.
During the last month of June A.
825 head of Montana cattle were
tested for tuberculosis. Bat seven
were found.

PHILADELPHIA
WANTS PLAYQFF
ARMY-NAVY GAME

Philadelphia, Dec. 1.-tR)-Efforts to
arrange a plaff-off game between the
football elevens of West Point and
Annapolis at the Sesqui stadium were
under way today as representatives
of the city sought the necessary ap-
prevail of the military and naval au-
thorities.
Jules e. Mastbaum. prominent in
CIVIC movements, suggested the idea of
second Army-Navy game to settle
service gridiron honors to Mayor w.
Freeland kendrick and received the
latters endorsement. The regular
game between the two teams at Chi
cago last Saturday ended in a 21-21
tie
Today Mastbaum planned to go TO
Washington to confer with the war
and navy departments. and if the plan
meets with approval. he said he would
continue to Annapolis and endeavor to
enlist the support of the Naval Acad-
envy officials. He then plans to visit
West Point.
Mayor Kendrick said the city would
do everything in it's power to aid such
a contest
philadelphia is very anxious to
welcome the cadets and middies again
and reinstate itself in the good graces
of the two academies" the mayor said
Small likelihood that the contest
would be arranged has been voiced by
o1lclals at the Naval Academy.

COLLEGE STUDENTS
FROM WATERvILLE
PLAY HERE TONIGHT
Scotty MARI, Fielder, Nc
Croary, Trimm And Several
Other Stars With Visitors

One Of the most formidable out
fits ever to function in basketball in
this section since the days of the
famous Colby Comets, will come
down from Waterville this evening
to play the American Legion quin-
tet of Augusta at the Y. M. c. A..
The visitors, who are unable to call
themselves Colby name because of
recent ruling at the Waterville in
stitution, come pretty near being the
best basketeers Colby and Waterville
has to offer. The Legion will have
to play basketball as they have new
er played before to stop the power
full Elm City aggregation.
Playing right forward will be JIM
mie McCroary, rated as one of the
best forwards that ever wore bas-
ketball uniform. McCroary played
with Coburn two years ECO when the
latter lost by one point. to Hebron
and McCroary shot the most of his
teams baskets. Fast, good pass
err and a dead shot, the guard who
plays McCroary tonight will have to
step on the gas to keep up with
the fast moving gentleman from
Colby.
In the other forward position will
be Gordon Trimm. Trimm played
last year with Clinton A. A., the
year before that he played with
Washington State Normal school
and the three years before that he
played with Washington Academy.
A fast, lanky forward, with a dead
eye for the basket, he is apt to
| caISe all kinds Of trouble If he gets
chance on the small floor at the
..Y."
| Arbor, another Colby student,
rated as one of the best centers in
New England in his high school
days, Will cover the pivot position
for the visitors. Scotty Mari, semi
pro baseball, football and basket
ball star, will play right guard.
| Scotty was a member of the unde-
feated Togus football team this fall
and has played basket ball with the
| best in New England. Dutch
Fielder, former Coburn captain, is
| slated for the other guard berth.
Dutch Is one of the most dependable
guards in the state.
Dunnack. Lapidus, Trask, Wilson,
| Nickless, Thyng and the rest Of the
regular lineup will be in Legion
toys. The Legionaires have been
coming along at rapid stride this
week and are capable of giving the
visitors rugged battle. This will
be one of the classiest games seen
in Augusta for quite some time and
the fans who miss this game are
missing something The game will
start promptly at o'clock and Ma
han will referee.

COACH DWYER HAS
CAPABLE GROUP
FOR INDOOR TRACK

Hebron, Dec. This week Coach
Dwyer sent out q call for indoor
track. As the Bowdoin meet comes
at an early date this year Coach
Dwyer is anxious to get the wearers
of the Green and Grey silks started
on q busy campaign. For a while
the aspirants will be able to do
much of their training out of doors
because of the good weather which
prevails. The squad will not hold
workouts indoors until it is abso-
lutely necessary.
The track team Is led this year,
by Don Mackenzie, one OF the best
all around distance men in Maine
prep schools. This winter he ex-
poets to specialize in the thousand
yard run. Red Williamson is again
on deck for the low hurdles. Bull
let Haskell will help Captain Mac
kensie out in the distances. Par
malice, also a veteran from last
years team, is doing a little work
in the longer distances. The most
promising new men are Harry Chap
lin of Nashua, N. H., Bill Haskell of
Lewiston, Louis Kumpf of Spring.
NdllCyp &Ns anu 11olA DiO"h Va
Bangor. With the graduation of
Judd Files, the shot putter, and
Harold Harding, pole vaulter, Bill
Haskell is slated to be a great boy
with the weights. He has already
heaved the pill over 40 feet in prac-
tice. Lee Abbott, one of Harding's
most faithful under-studies, is COM
ing along by leaps and bounds. Har-
ry Chaplin has a great record as a
half miller, holding the New Hamp-
shire schoolboy record. He will be
a great help to the Big Green out
fit. Another man who Is showing up
we'll is Louis Kumpf. Kumpf is a
dash man, and although there Is no
schoolboy runner who will ever take
the place of Bob Rogers, who grad
uated last year, Kumpf will do lot
toward collecting points for the OK
ford boys. Another man who may
step into the harness If he deems 1t
necessary will be the famous Nurmi
Folsom, who holds number of
mile records In the State of Maine.
At present, however, he is putting
in a good bid for center on the var
sity basketball team. With such
brilliant prospects. the Hebron Club
should do some fine work both on
the indoor track and again next
spring on the cindered path.

KAY JAY
SPORT
CHAT

Kenny Mansfield and Swede Lar
sen will appear with the Waterville
Club at the Augusta Y. M. G. A. this
evening as substitutes. Both these
players are considered as pretty good
but are apparently not fast enough
to start the game for the Elm City
Basketeers.
The generalissimo in Jack Demp-
sey's camp before the Tunney fight
now states that Dempsey was
poisoned by coffee before the fight
at the Stadium. The same story al
ways goes the rounds and probably
has. no more foundation than those
which have been told before. Demp-
sey took his licking like q little man.
and was more popular in defeat than
he had been in virtory. Dempsey
himself made no alibis and the per-
son circulating the rumors regard
ing the coffee probably Is talking
through his hat. So thinks Mike
Trant, his bodyguard.
Harry Albert Sears Is still busy
rounding up supporting card for his
main bout featuring Johnny Nc
Mcintyre of New Brunswick. one of
the best lightweights In the country.
Harry Is making all the necessary
arrangements for December 10th and
says that If Ted Cossette doesn't
want to fight, Eddie Thomas will be
the other principal.
Bowdoin has both Harvard and
Yale on her baseball schedule next
spring. The Black and White team
has plenty of ambition, to say the
least. With Ben Houser staying at
Brunswick throughout the college
year. a fast club should be In order
down at Brunswick next year.
The four team league as organized
at the Augusta Y. M. C. A. last even
ing, promises to be very successful
this winter. Outside members have
been admitted to the different clubs
with the result that every team will
be exceptionally fast. Some good
games should be in order this win
ter.

bers of the organization which they
represent. All players, however. must
be amateurs residing In this city. This
was done in order that the teams
might all be evenly matched, and as a

New York, Dec. 1-(P)-"Charac

Of the stiffest schedules Of any team

Ingram was looking his boys" ov r
as he said this to an Associated Press
correspondent. He singled out one
youth. grinning cheerfully in spite Of
a badly bruised nose, emblem of the
grim 21-21 battle with the Army the
day before.
THAT fellows typical Of our whole
team" continued the coach. "He
never had any real football expert
ence before this year and he grad
yates next June. Most of the others
are of the same sort. We had only
four real football players-by that
mean seasoned. natural performers
the others were just good, strong
youngsters, who deserve all the cred
it in the world for what they did.
"Put together. however, they had
the courage, the spirit and character
to win every game against the tough
est kind of opposition except that
with the Army. But for break
we would have won that, too.
TT took a real fighting heart to pull
such games out of the fire as those
with Georgetown, Colgate. and Pur-

Army was one OF the greatest and
earnest have ever witnessed.
"Take all this into consideration
the spirit as well as the ability -
these boys and I don't think you can

New York, Dec. 1-R-Chairman
James A. Farley. Of the New York

out the backing of his fellow-mem-
bers Of the board today in his con-
tention that Gene Tunney had used
4 Broadway theater as an 'unli-

At tho court hearing, Dudley Field

prompted Farley's action. Farley
did his utmost to prevent Tunney
meeting Dempsey and to compel
the former champion to fight Har-

gained the title proved that Tunney
was too much for Dempsey. Wills
