STEERS SAID
TO HOLD EDGE
Various Comparisons With
Sooners Give Texans
An Advantage
Especial 70 The Herald.l

AUSTIN, Oct. 16.-Comparative
statistics show that the Texas
Longhorns viii carry an a~ppreciable
weight advantage over the Okla
homa Sooners, in the traditional
tilt between the old rivals at the
mel Fair Park Stadium in Dallas
Saturday The figures are typical
Of the two teams for the Steers
are noted for their power pays ana
their smashing football, while the
lighter Oklahoma team has flashed
a wide open running attack that
ha5 left two opponents behind in
their first two games this year.
The greatest difference in weight
Is In the two backfields. where 3
lao pound man pulls the Sooner
down 70 an average Of l64 pounds
while Shelley and Koy send the
Texas average 10 1T pounds. Thr
team average for Texas Is 1877
pounds: for Oklahoma II Is ITS
pounds. The Texas line bolstered
BY Blanton. Emerson. Peterson. an
Moody scales at an average Of 1877
pounds per man. while the Okla
homa forwards only 1872 pounds.
Basing predictions on the frs.

Another interesting point about
the two teams. Is that they are

No Books in This Bookcase.

The very first evidence Of congested
population in the cities was the appear
ance of the folding beds, which took
place about so years ago when the
couch was designed to take the form
of various other pieces of furniture.
The bookcase was the favorite medium
for effecting this fake, but, because Of
its unusual rotundness of figure, made
one suspicious of the preparation Of q
fraud. Then again, you did not dare
examine the books, for they were gen.
orally as much Of a sham as the piece
of furniture itself. The volumes were
seen standing in such an extensively
apparent line Of orderliness that the
imposition was instantly apparent. The
books were imitation ends on a sheet
of cardboard laid back of the glass. II
happened that some Of these construc-
tons showed tendency to double up
while occupied, and the sleeper would
be awakened to flnd himself standing
on his head and at the same time q
prisoner between the sheets.

Army,


It has been rumored that the chief
difnculty confronting the Interdepart-
mental Pay-promotion Board is occa-
stoned by the existing Army hump re-
Sulting from the appointment of a large
number of additional officers in the
Army under the provisions of the act OF
June 4, 1920, and the attempt to devise
some method whereby 1t may be leveled
and, at the same time, do justice to all
officers Of the Army. The Reconciling
Committee of the board has given q
great deal Of thought to this problem,
as well as several special committees APP
pointed to study specific problems con-
ton has been given by the board or the
committees of the board to the promo
ton problem Of the warrant officers and
chief warrant officers Of the Navy, war
rant officers of the Army, or the enlisted
personnel Of any Of the services, the be-
lief being held that If the promotion
situation existing among the commits
stoned personnel of the several services
can be successfully adjusted, little diff
Guilty will be experienced in making adj
tustments for the warrant officers and
enlisted personnel
Service personnel familiar with the
promotion requirements of the six serv-
ices have indicated that it is practically
an impoSsibility to prescribe exactly the
same promotion system for each and all
of these services, due to the fact that
each Of the services has different OBJ
jectives to obtain under vastly different
conditions. It is becoming more ap-
parent each week that promotion bill
that will provide equal opportunity fol-
all commissioned personnel of the six
services to reach the same relative ranks
or grades under approximately the same
conditions will be extremely difficult tc
write. The probabilities for enactment
Of pay-promotion legislation during the
approaching session Of the Seventy-first
Congress are not considered any too IA
vorable, the holding of this pessimistic
view being based on the shortnesS of the
session, the necessity for passing major
legislative measures, and the proposed
reduction of military-naval expendi-
lures.

caused the War Department to postpone
the contemplated selections during the
1890 year. Fort Riley was selected as
the initial assembly point for the team
due to the excellent facilities available
for instruction in equitation and Animal
management. Lack of instruction in
riding and insufficient knowledge OF
gaits and the powers and limitations of
horsef1esh have been costly to American
efforts in past Olympics, and no effort
Is being spared, in training the Army
riding team that will compete In the
1882 Olympic games, to be held at Los
Angeles, Calf.
However, tests and competitions win
be held during the early Spring of
1881 at the various Army posts for the
purpose of selecting outstanding riders
and horse prospects that in all proba-
bility will assemble at Fort Riley in
1881. In the meantime, preliminary
training will continue, being made as
diversified as local conditions permit.
The chief Of Cavalry, Maj. Gen. Guy
v. Henry, has been designated as the
War Department representative in all
matters relative to the participation of
the Army in the 1882 Olympic games.
In the future the time that orranl-
zations of the Regular Army win be
allowed to devote to the Summer train
ing Of the civilian components OF the
Army Of the United States viii be lin
tied to three months. Due to the Sum-
mer training camp duties and field
training, some organizations of the
Regular Army have been absent an
nually from their home stations for
five and in some cases six months.
Under the 1901 War Department
training directive 1t is prescribed that
Regular Army elf-training should oc-
cupy at least 10 months Of the year,
the remaining months per year being
set aside for the Summer training of
Reserve units and individual officers.
In any case, Regular Army organiza-
tions will not, beginning this year, be
absent annually from their permanent
stations any longer than three months,
and this period will include both. the
time necessary for training civilian
components and for the organizations
own field training.
