.DOB|E'S Job IS SAFE
AS CORNELL COACH
Critics Ease Up as GiI'S
Team Breaks Even in Its
Major Games.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
N YEW YORK, December 5.-Gil-
mour Dobie stands secure in
VI his job as foot ball coach at
l. Cornell, where he is under con-
tract until after the season of
1893. An alumni committee which
criticized him last year is milder In its
criticism this year.
Although Cornell got only an even
break in its four major games, winning
from Princeton and Columbia and los
this represented o distinct advance over
recent seasons. Cornell just saved it
self in the Columbia game, but held
a lead over Dartmouth to the very last
minute and set the pace against Penn
until Dick Gentle ripped of his 1922
yard run for touchdown.
The committee pointed out that Cor
nell was a university which did not at
tract school athletes in great numbers
because of q lack Of foot ball atmoS-
phere," but asserted its diSapproval Of
difference. The committee did recon-
mend, however, that O wholesome inter-
est in Cornell be stimulated in feeder
preparatory schools. Cornell Is one Of
the few institutions which received q
clean bill Of health in the recent Car
negie Foundation report.
Gil Dobie's traditional gloomineSS
was seen as an evil influence upon the
chances of Cornell foot ball teams. This
part Of the report doubtless was pre-
pared prior to Dobie's pronouncements
before his games against Dartmouth
and Pennsylvania, when he promised
much for fighting Cornell eleven"
Plans for the annual EaSt-WeSt game
in San Francisco are moving apace.
Dowler, Yablok and Cox Of Colgate have
accepted invitations to join their coach,
Andy Kerr, on the Eastern eleven, which
Kerr will tutor. Brazil, the Detroit
back; Seacrist Of Washington and JET
ferSon and Booma of Dartmouth also
have accepted posts on the Eastern
squad, with Wally Harper sending in
the only refusal to date. Other Middle
Western recruits for the team are Lou
Gordon, q tackle, and Frosty Peters,
back and star kicker Of Illinois.
Definite announcement that South
ern California would represent the West
in the Tournament of Roses game makes
1t still less likely that Knute Rockne
will change his mind about playing q
poSt-SeaSon engagement. The Ramblers
Of Notre Dame trimmed the TrojanS in
the regular season at Chicago. Pitts
burgh, Eastern representative against
Stanford two years ago, now seems in
line for the call.

beat University Of California IL. Al,
Oregon State, Washington and Occi-
dental by big scores, and rose to their
heights against Stanford in midseaSon
winning to 0. That game naturally
took good deal out Of them physical
~, and perhaps made them overcon-
f1dent to small extent, but as they had
risen to their peak for Stanford, Cali
fornia outdid herself to beat them the
next Saturday. University Of Southern
California, one shouldn't forget, held
Notre Dame to a 1912 victory after
passing only one Saturday following
successive games against Stanford and
California.
Slip Madigan turned out an impress
sive team at st. Marys. Madigan's
men have beaten the Olympic Club and
Santa Clara and in early season, before
the Bears had an offense to speak Of
they held California to a scoreleSs tie
The Olympic Club Is not team to be
counted on, because It is made up of
young business men. They may be
good one week and bad the next. Santa
Clara'S claim to 1929 fame was its VIC
tory over Stanford the Saturday before
the big game, and the GaelS victory
over Santa Clara was by the margin OF
single touchdown.
st. Mary's had a strong line and two
or three good backheld men, but their
lack Of reserve material and the COM
paratively easy schedule made one hest
tate to place them among the nationally
great teams until they demonstrated
their class by winning over Oregon
Thanksgiving day. oregon crossed st.
Mary's goal line, the only score this
year. but the GaelS came through with

G0NZAGA, DEWITT PRIME
FOR BIG GAME SATURDAY

Gonzaga and Dewitt elevens are pre-
pairing energetically for their annual
foot ball game Saturday in Grifith
Stadium, starting at 2:90 o'clock.
AS the game nears 1t becomes in
creasingly evident that 1t will be a real
battle, with Dewitt something of q IA
vorite. Both teams have fine records
for the season, each having lost only
one game.
Victory would be particularly relished
by either team Saturday, as the series be-
tween the Upton street scholastics and
Dewitt now is even, each having de-
feated the other twice since they
started annual gridiron warfare in 1874.
No game was played in 1925.

MUSKRAT FARMS NOW FOUND
IN MANY PARTS OF COUNTRY

Trapping muSkrats an occupation
that has given pleasure and profit to
countless farm boys, has developed into
a commercial industry. Regular musk
rat farms are now found in many
States where there are large areas OF
marsh land. In the old days muSkrat
skins were sold for as little as Is 10
IS cents apiece Now the carcass will
bring that much as meat, and the
skins have advanced almost tenfold in
value, according to the Bureau OF BIZ
illogical Survey, of the United States
Department of Agriculture. The an
nual catch has now reached 100000
muSkratS.
The earliest use for muskrat fur was
in the manufacture of an excellent imi-
tation of beaver hats. Modern FUR
dressers and dyers now initiate many
Of the most costly furs with that OF
the muskrat- This practice, together
with the multiplicity of designs decreed
by fashion for women'S apparel, has
created a continuous demand for the
peltS.
The chief requirements in musknat
farming, according to the Biological
Survey are to maintain food supply
for the animals and to guard against
depicting their numbers by too close
trapping. In some localities musk
rats are kept on definite premises by
the erection of suit ole fences, and
these also aid in preventing ''poaching'
and in lessening depredations by nat
ural enemies.
MuSkrats multiply rapidly. Their
aquatic retreats and general habits
assist them in protecting themselves.
Though injurious to crops in some
localities, muSkrats generally inhabit
places unsuited to agriculture.
Many of the marsh areas bordering
on the Great Lakes and the tidewater
marshes of New Jersey, Delaware,
Maryland and Louisiana, and some OF
the more desirable inland marsh areas
of the northern tier of States that
formerly were considered useless are
now being utilized for muskrat farm
ing, the Biological Survey says. Be
cause of the increased value Of furs,
these areas are yielding steady and
profitable returns and when sold they
frequently bring more than do ad-
jacent cultivated lands.
