i. S. SHIP LINES
SALE FACES SNAGS
Main Difficulty Involves Use
of Two New $10,O00,O00
Vessels.

Although the Shipping Board has
ordered negotiation of a contract for
transfer of the United States Lines to
the Chapman-Dollar-D Dawson interests,
three points of difference, one of major
importance, remain to be reconciled,
Shipping Board officials said yesterday.
The principal difficulty is the ques-
ton of whether the use of the two new
$4,000, 900 ships being built at Camden,
N. j., for the lines shall be confined
to the North Atlantic.

Of using the ships in the Pacific at
their discretion.
Colleagues Support Dollar.
Officials said the board is willing to
specify in the contract that the new
ship may be diverted from the North
Atlantic upon specific approval of the
board in each instance. So far this
has failed to satisfy Dollar, whose po-
sition has been supported by his COL
leagues, Paul w. Chapman, president of
the United States Lines, and Kenneth
D. Dawson.
Another point Of difference concerns
the Leviathan, giant flag ship of the
lines. The board wants a guarantee
that 1t make at least seven sailings a
year. The Chapman-D ollar-D Dawson
combination has asked for a minimum
of five. The big ship has proved eX-
pensive to run and hard to fill in de-
pressed times.
Payment Question Up.
The third point concerns the amount
and manner of payment for outstand-
ing mortgages held by the board of the
ships of the line. The board hopes to
get more than the S3.l70,900 already
offered by Chapman and his hackers.
and perhaps as much as the $780,
900 bid by the International Mcrcan-
tile Marine Roosevelt Steamship Co.
The board also expects to ask that the
sum be paid in cash, eliminating the
phrase "or its equivalent"
Board members said no word had
been received from the I. NJ. M.-Roose-
welt. and there was no indication
whether it had given up the fight for
the line

Foot Ball Shrinkage Causes
Leaders to Focus on
1882 Finances.
BY WILLIAM WEEKES,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

0HIcAGo, December Am
1 alarmingly serious financial
Y situation, caused by shrinkage
Of foot ball receipts, absorbed
the attention of Western Conference
athletic directors and coaches as they
opened their annual meeting today.
Foot ball, the big brother which has
paid the way for whole sports programs
in Big Ten institutions, failed to do as
much business as expected, and sharp
curtailment Of schedules was regarded
as certain to result. Receipts were of
from 80 to 40 per cent, according to
Maj. John L. Griffith, Big Ten athletic
commissioner, with schools represented
by weak elevens suffering most. Only
Northwestern, which had a champion
ship outfit right down to the finish,
and Minnesota, which had an i'm
mensely improved eleven, had good sea-
sons financially
Iowa's athletic department already
has been notified that economy must
be the watchWord in making schedules,
and the feeling appears to be the same
at Wisconsin. Even Illinois, which
has built a great athletic and intra-
mural sports system out of foot ball
profits, has abandoned the annual
Southern base ball training trip and
has planned to go so far as calling
off the indoor relay carnival, the blue
ribbon event of its kind, to reduce
expenses.
1t was considered highly likely that
minor sports schedules would be sharp
ly trimmed and that base ball might
suffer when the coaches plan their
seasons.
The faculty Committee on Athletics
will meet tonight and later will meet
with the athletic directors. There has
been no indication that the faculty
group has anything out of the ordinary
to consider, but since Iowa was sus-
pended from athletic competition in
1929, quite by surprise, the meeting has
been closely watched for unexpected
developments.
Track and base ball schedule making
was on todays program, the basket ball
and foot ball listings already having
been made.

IN one breath, What are the foot ball
colors Of the Marines and the Coast
Guard and what are the notices of
the two services?"
Like nobody's business and much
raster, the commander replied: "The
Marines colors are scarlet and gold
the same colors that have always been
the Marines since the days at Tun's
Tavern in Philadelphia. The Coast
Guards colors are blue and white, en-
blematic of the blue of the sea and
the crested white of the rolling surf.
The Coast Guard tackles both at their
worst. The motto of the Marine Corps
IS "Semper Fidelis'-always faithful.
The motto Of the Coast Guard Is
