raw cotton and manufactured cotton.
Edgar c, Crosby. formerly a cotton

Suggestions and advice from the
cotton trade in all of it's branches and
from cotton users and producers have
been invited by the new organization
THE large supply of raw materials

brilliant end of the South Benders,
gathered in the loose oval and wrig-
ged his way through desperately
plunging Midshipmen 25 yards to the
final line Notre Dame failed TO get
the extra point that would have put
it in the lead, but it went to the fore
shortly after when its offensive ace,
Chrlsty Flanagan, led a 70-yard ad-
vance that ended with Riley carry
ing the ball over for another touch
down About midway of the fourth
period, another Notre Dame score
came, John Niemic toting the leather
across and also booting for an extra
point.
AS expected by all familiar with his
foot bail career at the South Bend in
stitution, Flanagan was prominent
figure in the dashing Notre Dame as
sault, but he. had keen rival for
high honors in this respect in Niemic.
This sterling halfback rushed and
passed the ball in remarkable manner
and his kicking was exceptionally
powerful. Several times he sent the
ball booming from his foot for dis
tances OF from so to 70 yards. But of
all the Notre Dame attacking stars, II
was Flanagan who gave the throng its
greatest thrills. Repeatedly this dash
ing back crashed through the Navy
forward wall, slipped by tackles or
tore around ends for advances rang
ing from 5 to 35 yards. Most elusive
was this Flanagan, even though Navy
had been pointed to stop him.
Youngster Startles Them.
It was the youngster Spring who
proved the star of the Navy offensive.
Where followers of the Midshipmen
had thought that captain and quarter
back, Ned Hannegan, who learned
much of his foot ball at Western High
School in Washington before entering
the Academy, or Whitley Lloyd, tower
ing 200-pound halfback. would be the
Spearhead OF the teams attack through
the contest, it was this Tacoma boy,
fresh from last years plebe eleven,
who startled them with the excep-
tional quality of his performance.
Spring penetrated Notre Dame line
that the other Navy backs more famed
found invulnerable. tossed remarkable
passes and generally was in the thick
Of battle while in action. He was un.
questionably the glittering star of the
Annapolis offensive.
IHefe were olner heroes OF the Strug'
gle, but their efforts were of such ma
ture that 1t would be difficult to men
ton them individually. But it can be
said that at all times during the
game, there were seven of them in
the Notre Dame forward wall. The
play OF the Rockne ruShline was about
as fine as has been seen in this de-
partment of foot ball in seasons here
abouts, If ever. From end to end, the
green-and-gold clad gridmen charged
as one man in attack, and in defense
seemed almost always able to diagnose
quickly the Navy strategy and render
it ineffective.

ably because Of this he does not
know what it is to suffer from what
some people refer to as nerves. He
has the strength to endure physical
strains, as has been demonstrated to
those who have accompanied him on
his trout fishing expeditions, and he is
not the kind to tire easily as a result
OF unusual physical exertion. He has
splendid appetite, and, while he is
not heavy eater, he enjoys what he
has described as a "sizeable meal"
He sleeps easily and soundly and gen.
orally awakens refreshed and rested.
Has Nasal Complaint.
For somA years Mr.. Coolidge has
been troubled with bronchial and
nasal trouble. This is not serious,
although it is at times bothersome.
Because of this trouble he is suscep-
tible to colds in the head, and during
the course of a year, he goes through
the discontinue of four or five of the
good, old-fashioned sniff1es. This is
not alarming and seldom requires the
President to abandon work. He has
found it helpful, however, to take
local treatment for his nasal trouble
and since he came to Washington
more than six years ago as Vice Presi-
dent he has gone regularly to a nose
specialist for this treatment.
Some of his friends have suggested
that these visits to the nose special
lists no doubt have given rise to the
| hints that the Presidents elimina.
| tion OF himself from the 1928 cam.
paign was because of impaired health.

1t is interesting to relate in this con-
| nection that Mr.. Coolidge Is passion
ately fond oe nuts, and frequently he
is quite boyishlike in the generous
| quantities he eats in q very limited
space of time.
Takes Little Exercise.
The fact that President Coolidge is
as sound and healthy as he really is
causes those who are associated with
/ him daily to actually wonder. He
takes so little exercise. It is difficult
TO conceive how man called upon to
perform the difficult and trying tasks
OF President can keep in such splen-
dld condition without taking plenty of
exercise and without being i'm the open
more often. Evidently the constitu-
| ton he has inherited from his fore
bears stands him so well as he needs
little exercise to keep in good health.
/ Mr.. Coolidge used to be an in.

as keeping himself in trim by walking
a mile or two each morning before
entering upon his duties and each
evening, at the conclusion of his days
work, but he has gradually cut-down
his walking until he has reached a
! point now, where he seldom INDUCES

been most noticeable since his return
to Washington from his vacation In

but later the Green and Gold rushed
and passed the ball from midfield
deep into Annapolis territory before
Bauer. Navy back, intercepted heave
from Niemic just before quarter-time
was up.
Navy sent in Lloyd and Notre Dame
put Flanagan in action at the outset
Of the second period and the Notre
Dame player proved far superior to
the Navy ace. Getting the ball when
d Navy punt went outside at Notre
Danes 30-yard line, the Rockne team
with Flanagan heading the attack
advanced with few plays to Navys
25-yard line. During this 45-yard
| march Flanagan rushed the ball 20
Yards and passed it to Walsh for
net gain of Is yards. But Navy,
unable to gain. soon punted and Notre
Dame using Flanagan as it's spear
head. soon swept over IS yards to
NaVy's 20-yard line, where the Mid
they blocked a pass. The Navy had
to punt again. however. and Lloyd's
kick TO midfield ended the half.
An exchange of punts coming soon
after the third period commenced left
Navy on the offensive just within it's
35-yard line. 1t was here that LLOYD
got away his long punt when a Notre
Dame man was off-side and that
Navy accepted the penalty instead of
urning over the attack to its op-
ponent. That acceptance proved
costly. Lloyd tried to punt again, but
the ball scarcely had left his toe when
Smith, Notre Dame guard, batted it
down. The oval went bounding
toward the sideline with several Navy
and NOtre Dame men darting after it.
Walsh. South Bend end, was the one
to scoop it up and he lodged his way
among would-be taclllers 20 yards to
goal.
Gained on Line Crash.
Dahman missed with his kick for an
extra point, but 1T made no differ
ence in view of what happened soon
after. Notre Dame took a punt on
it's 30-yard line and turned Flanagan
loose. Christy got away for a 35-yard
run around right end and then swept
the left flank tor 25 yards. After Dab.
man picked up yards. Flanagan again
gained with a crash through the
line. Riley took the ball and easily
plunged through the Navy forwards
to the second Notre Dame touchdown.
Once more Dahman was unable to
kick the extra point.
Punting exchanges marked play
after the touchdown until NOtre Dame
again lnterfered with the man on the
receiving end of a Navy pass and the
quarter ended with the Midshipmen
in possession of the ball on their 27-
yard line. Plunges and end runs by
Spring netted some yardage after the
fourth period opened, but when Bauer
ran from kick formation to make a
needed 2 yards for d first down he
found that Notre Dame had braced.
That gave the ball to the Rockne
eleven on Navy's 44-yard line. A
series of line smashes and 15-yard
pass, Niemic to Walsh, moved the ball
to the 12-yard mark. Then Niemic
crashed through left tackle to a touch.
down in three plays and drop-kicked
a goal for Notre Danes nineteenth
point.
From then on the teams battled on
fairly even terms and at the last Navy
resorted desperately to air attack. A
wild heave, Bauer TO Beans. netted 38
yards and moved the attack to Notre
Danes 35-yard line. but another pass
from Bauer was intercepted just as
the finishing signal sounded.

TENT AWAITS DECIDING.
French Reply Arrived at State Depart
ment Yesterday.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The text of the French reply to the
latest American note on the tariff dis
cussion began dribbling into the State
Department late yesterday, but with
no prospect that the document would
be decoded and available for consid-
Grafton by Secretary Kellogg before
tomorrow.
No advance summary of the note s
contents had reached the department
ahead of the text. so officials refused
to comment. 1t was apparent, how
ever, that they felt the tariff contro-
versy was in a fair way toward
friendly adjustment as a result of The
diplomatic exchanges.
Treaty Is Solution.
The next step of the Washington
Government probably will depend to
large extent upon what France has
TO say as to the customs rates to be
charged on American goods during
the negotiations for a commercial
treaty which will settle finally the rela-
tions between the two governments in
this and other respects.
The last American communication
reiterated a request for application of
the minimum French tariffs during
the tendency of the treaty neg otia-
tions. Press reports from Paris, how
ever, have indicated that France was
not prepared to go to that extent and
would offer instead substantially the
status that American goods enjoyed
before the recent application of the
higher levels of customs dues under
the French decree of August 80.
