Moret, who is considered a better
defensive player, will probably start
the game. hut Smith. who is the tall
center of the basket ball team. is
strong on pulling down passes. He
is likely to be in the game il Miller is
in the backfield. as the two formed
a great passing team when they were
plebes two seasons ago.
The line is not particularly heavy
one. Woerner is the big fellow, weigh

Burke weighs but ia, though he is
considered the best man on the line.

Running Attack Tells.
Where the offensive side of foot ball
has advanced this season has been in
the domain of running attack. Coaches
have realized that sharp inside Of
fenSe is the basic element in advarc-
ing the hall. 1t has been shown that
forward passing of itself cannot run
away with the game of foot ball. 1t
is only by tightening in the defense
through effective close attack that the
way is opened for aerial players.
The teams that have placed en-
phasis upon running plays are the
teams that are sta nding out this year.
| offensive line play has never been so
sharply effective. The wing hack idea
and the scheme of a hack in motion
| have hecn carried to a high point of
| efficiency. The guards are being used
| to head plays as a matter of custom
and the tackles and ends seldom have
| fewer than two men cracking into
! them. The attack. whether beca use
| of the subtle influence of the lateral
| pass rule or not. has trended slant
wise with the added complication of
| fiat forward passes.
| And so tackles and ends these days
who are not of all-America caliber are

Authorities were undecided whether
the dead youth had committed suicide
or shot himself accidentally, but the
other boy, who stabbed himself. said,
before lapsing into Inconsistencies
that he intended taking his life. He
gave no reason for his act. Doctors
said he probably viii die.
Harold Marks. 17-year-old high
school senior, was found dead In his
fathers garag,, a rifle lying across
his body. His parents said he was
cheerful and had no school troubles
or love affairs and declared that he
had shot himself while trying to fit
a cartridge or different caliber into
the rifle. The police were inclined to
accept this theory, but were inyesti-
eating to determine if there was q
motive for the boy to end his life. He
was shot through the head and the

angle for possible Staying theory.
John Brasel, Is. harrington high

from his chest.

Harry F. Sinclair, president Of the

who has been in Mexico City for sew

received no instructions from the De-

ury Mellon, Edward l.. Doheny and
Mr.. Sinclair controlled 81 per cent OF
the oil lands In Mexico, and that they
had been obeying Secretary OF State
Kellogg's instructions as to policy in
connection with the new laws.
Saying the total Of the percentage
given was perhaps correct, he added
that the Sinclair holdings were so
small as not to merit forceful defense
by the United States. He believed
the Washington statement was ma
licious political maneuver.
Mr.. Sinclair expressed himself as

Lost Cars Caused
Greek Gold Flow,
Rail Chief Claims
By the Associated Press.


DENVER, February 81. - The
mystery of the source Of gold dis
covered in Cherry Creek, which
flows through Denver, was believed
to have been solved yesterday. For
decades prospectors have vainly
searched the upper reaches Of the
creek for. the place the gold came
from, and, years ago panning the
sand Of the creek would produce
So or 81 worth of the metal a day.
The first discovery Of gold in the
creek in the early days Of Denver
caused gold rush to it's mouth,
and the find was considered rich.
But no one has been able to ex-
plain the presence Of the gold.
Harry Petrie, president and gen.
eral manager. of the Mount Tamal-
pals and Muir Woods Railway of
San Francisco, yesterday gave an
explanation of the mystery.
ION July 4, 1885," Mr.. Petrie
said, Cherry Creek was on a ram.
page, and the yardmaster of the
Denver Rio Grande Railroad,
for which worked. believed he
could save a bridge across the
creek by weighing it down. He
put six narroW-gauge cars loaded
with gold ore on it. The bridge
was swept away. and all we ever
found of those cars was one pair
OF trucks"
The gold is believed to have
washed down the creek and lodged
at its mouth In a sand bar.
