When great southern football teams are being discussed, as they seem to be this season because of the high caliber of pigskin-to Ssrs in Dixie, many still believe Georgia Techs wartime array of 1917 set up the standard for all future high-powered models.
 Without much question, this team coached by John w. Heisman, was the strongest in the country at the time and one Of the most powerful offensive machines ever developed in college football.
 It was the first Tech eleven to gain nationwide fame as the Golden Tornado, rolling up a total of 491 points in winning nine straight games and earning the dis tinction of being Americas high est scoring aggregation.
 The war already had upset col 1ege ranks. but Tech piled up some amazing scores against strong op- position in going through the sea- son undefeated. The Torna d o smothered Pennsylvania, 41 to 0; Washington and Lee by 63-O; steam rolle1ed Vanderbilt 83-0; and Tu- lane 48-0; then slaughtered the Carlisle Indians 98-0, and wound up the year by running wild against Alabama Poly, 68-7.
 The last victory was especially noteworthy because Alabama Poly had held the Western Conference champions, Ohio State, to a score less tie.
 Bulwarks in the 1917 Tech line were Captain Carpenter, and Fin cher at the tackles, Phillips at cen- ter. The ball-toting aces were Hill, the quarterback, Strupper and Guy on.
 The performances of these stall warts climaxed three straight sea- sons of unbeaten football for Heis- man and Georgia Tech. It was the Golden Age" of football in Atlanta and Dixie's first national cham pionship product Tech did not oc- cupy such heights again until Cap tain Funds 1928 eleven, coached by Bill Alexander, swept the grid irons.

PANAMA CANAL BIG ENOUGH FOR WHILE,
 SAYS COL. BURGESS

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-Enlarge- ment of the capacity of the Pana- ma canal before 1860 would be in- advisable in the light of present conditions, Colonel Harry Burgess, governor of the Canal Zone, said on his arrival on the liner Santa Maria.
 Colonel Burgess, who is on his way to Washington to discuss canal problems with President Hoover and congressional committees, said traffic through the canal so far this year indicated the traffic ton mage for 1880 would be about one million tons lower than in 1929 and 1928.
 There is a proposal to add Q third set of locks when traffic makes enlargement necessary Col onel Burgess said. T do not think that necessity will arise before 1860 Building of the additional locks would take about ten years and the cost would be about $135 ,000,- 0O0."
 Colonel Burgess said there hae i been some talk" about changing the level of the Panama canal tt sea level and commented tha' while it is theoretically possible, | i is not economically practicable"

JAPAN MAY ASK FOR REVISION
 OF SEAL PACT
Prince Rupert Newspaper Hears Japanese Prepare
 to Reopen Treaty
(Prince Rupert News)

Preparations are being made by the Japanese govern ment for re- sumption of negotiations looking to the revision of the four nation seal treaty under which certain islands in the northern areas belonging to Canada, United States, Japan and Russia are permanently closed to sealing fleets. The Japanese have complained for several years that they are the heaviest losers under the pact made because one of the assumptions under which it was made, namely, that the same seals return to the same islands each year, has been disproved. It is con- tended that seals from the Japan csc island in the Pribilof group, to which the treaty applies, have re- gently been found in the Hokkaidc group Fishermen in northern wat CTS have been notified to report whenever they find foreign seals in the vicinity of the Japanese island. It has also been contended that the seals have increased to such an extent under protection of the treaty that they are destroying fish which Japanese Fishermen catch in these waters. The four na- tions treaty was entered into be- cause it was feared that the slaugh- 1 ter of the seals in that maritime area was so great as to threaten the species with extinction. The Pribilof Islands, belonging to the United States, certain islands be- 1 longing to Japan and the Com- andorski Islands, belonging to Rus sia all of which are breeding plac- es for seals, were declared perma- nently closed to sealing All na- tons are declared to be in favor of reopening the treaty but negotla- tions have been complicated by the refusal of the United States to rec ognize the Soviet Government of Russia The treaty was made with ' the Czarist government but has been accepted and observed by the Soviet.

FARM FEDERATION
 TO URGE REVISION
 OF TAXATION SYSTEM
By FRANK I. WELLER "A. P. Farm Editor)

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. s. Meeting in Boston December 8 for it's 18th annual convention, the American farm bureau federation will undertake to memorialize con- gress for spectacular and far reaching revision of the national tax system.
 In essence, the plan is to tax real estate on the basis of it's earn ing capacity rather than on it's capital value.
 By making the income from per- sonal services, including salaries and professional fees, equally re- sponsible with property for the fi- nancial support of the government the plan would distribute the tax burden equitably and directly tc every household in America.
 Sam H. Thompson, president ot the federation, says state systems of taxation, with their emphasis or the property tax as the main source of public funds, are responsible fol portion of prevailing lawlessness and indifference to good govern ment.
 Dependence on the general prop erty tax" he says, almost wholly exempts the majority of citizens from direct taxation. It is inevitable that citizens of any community who pay no direct taxes should be care less of the quality of their public officials and of the administration of their fiscal systems. Equal opportunity to enjoy tho l benefits and privileges of stabl government requires the participa' tion in the costs of government 1T some proportion to ability to con tribute to such costs"
 Roughly, the farmer pays in taxe about $28 out of each $100 of gros' income whereas persons in othe, kinds of business pay only abou $7.
 Agriculture is less able to pa. taxes on the same values than an, other great industry, Thompson says, because it gives the farme' lower average returns both in mon ey and money value of commodi ties consumed, for his labor ant property than any other business
 The federation has declared itsel opposed to special favors for an! class in national, state and loca taxation.

NAVY FIGURES TILT
SATURDAY AS EVEN
To Have All Its Best Backs
Ready for Use Against
Maryland Eleven.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, November 10
The Naval Academy Is not claiming
more than an even chance against the
University of Maryland, which plays
here next Saturday, and will make all
the preparations which are usual when
a strong opponent is to be encountered.
The Nays most important task is to
put a physically 1T team on the field
at the end Of the week, number OF
its key players having felt the strain OF
the hard season up to this point in one
way or another.
However, the Navy came out Of the
game with Southern Methodist Satur-
day In fair shape and should be In bet
ter condition for next Saturdays tilt
than it has been for the last two con-
tests. This is particularly true Of the
backneld, which will have the services
of Tschirgi and Campbell. neither Of
whom could be used against the Mus
tangs.
Tschira, who in recent games has
been only slightly less effective than
Kirn, was out of the Methodist game
on account OF Dao 1oot, DuL Is pro-
crossing nicely and will start practice
Wednesday, and with care should be
ready for Saturdays game.
The presence of Tschirgi win relieve
the strain of continually carrying the
bali from Kirn, who was the bearer in
four out Of i've plays while In the
Southern Methodist game.
Campbell Is good line hitter and a
particularly good passer and Is likely to
share the latter work with Cannon.
It is possible that the team viii start
Saturday exactly as it did against
Methodist, though Tschirgi may take
the place of Cannon. Ingram's policy,
on the other hand, may be to substitute
Tschirgi for Cannon at latter period
when 1t is deemed wise to use sus-
tanned running attack.
The naval team also expects to get
more use of Hagberg, the big fullback,
who stayed only few minutes against
the Mustangs. 1t was found that his
injuries were slight and he is in shape
to get in the game again.
Torgerson did fairly well at left end
Saturday and will be on the left flank,
with West Byng. the Washington boy,
on the other side Steffanides and FL
lott win be the reserve pair of ends.
