GERMANY IS ACTIVE
 As COPPER BUYER

Since 1925 Germany has rank ed as the second largest copper consuming nation in the world being surpassed only by the Unit ed States. Tn 1923 and 1924 Ger many ran slightly behind France and Great Britain but due to a 76 percent increase in 1925 over 1924, she has since regained sec- ond place, according to the Den yer Mining Record.

FINAL EASTERN
GRID CANES
TODAY

NEW YORK, Dec. 11.-They
ring down the football curtain in
the East tomorrow and except for
that titantic New Year Day battle
between Southern California and
Tulane the 1881 nationwide sea-
son becomes history.
The thud of cleats on turf along
the Atlantic seaboard will be
heard for the last time as Army
and Navy fight it out here in Yam
kee Stadium in a grand finale set
ting of military bands, beautiful
girls, high officers glittering gold,
and a 100000 crowd Of $4,000
fans.
The Cadets and Middies will
play for charity and in the same
cause a picked squad Of present
and past Alabama stars will meet
George Washington University in
Washington, D. c.. in another cur
tain dropping affair. The Ala
bama clever. will make field day
by playing Catholic University
after their first Commute battle
and finally write a climax in op-
posing Georgetown.
TrOjans Play Georgia
Out in Los Angeles that Trojan
power-houSe of Howard Jones
will play Georgia.
The days winners certainly
should be Army and Southern
California.
Navy appears as hopelessly out
classed in playing the West Point
ers, as does Georgia in attempt
ing to stop the conquerorS of such
teams as Notre Dame, California
and Stanford.
The Middies have had woeful
season. They lost four games,
tied one and the only eugenie
they can pin in their oonnets is
the victory over Pennsylvania.
Army, shell-shocked ty a football
tragedy and suffering from an
epidemic of illness and injuries,
finally got started and beat Notre
Dame.
Army rates prohibitive favor
ite. Army has Stecker. a great
back. Army has Kilday. a plung-
ing star and Army has firm
wall and versatile bag of plays.
Navy has none of these, although
Magruder Tuttle, Navy captain
and center, rates top high as
defensive player.
MiddieS OutclasSed
But the Middies have apparently
been outclassed in the past by
Army just as they are this sea-
son and have gone over the top
against fearful odds to be re-
turned victors, or in holding a
superior Army eleven to low
score, morally triumphant.

Distinguished Guests

Some notable names in Dixie,
and for that matter, in ma
tional football history, are on
the list of players who have
assembled here to contribute to
the cause of charity via the
gridiron.
Not the least of these is Fred
Sington, All-America and ALI
Southern tackle, and recognized
the country over as the equal OF
any gridman to ever receive ma
tional designation. An oddity
of Sington's gridiron proWess is
that he would have made as
good a back as a linesman. He
could punt 60 yards a clip and
was deadly accurate at place
kicking or drop kicking. His
great defense play made him a
standout for the front wall, and
1t was there he reached his
peak, despite the fact he was
fast enough to grace any back
field in the country.
Sington this year was an as
sistant to Wallace Wade at
Duke University, as were Her
schel Caldwell, an All-Southern
back, and Dumpy Hagler, an
AllSouthern guard. This trio
is here in Washington to repeat
the featS which stunned the
Rose Bowl spectators a year
ago New Year Day.
They say Hagler had never
seen football until he went to
Alabama, but under Wade he
learned to become very familiar
with one. During his career at
Alabama. Caldwell weighed only
180 pounds, but he was able to
clear the path for those great
Alabama backs of 1925 and '26,
being one of the outstanding
blockers of all Southern gridiron
history.

MAJOR MOGULS
END SESSIONS

CHICAGO, Dec. 11.-MagnateS
of the major baseball leagues are
scuttling homeward today, after
three days of powwowing here,
without having accomplished much
more than to add to the unem-
ployment problem and reduction
of the athletes incomes.
The boys devoted 70 hours to
accomplishing what had been an
ticipated:
% Reduction of the player
limit to % and.
90 Determination to slice the
incomes of the perSpiring athletes.
They deferred action on barring
radio broadcast until next winter
they put it up to league presidents
to decide on request for synthetic
double-headers and appointed
Branch Hickey. of the Cardinals,
and Billy Evans, of the Indians, to
chat with the minors relative to
their request for cooperation in
tough moments.
One Important Trade
A dozen managers lost l8
pounds each, galloping around
lobbies trying to outSlick each
other. and the only deal Of con-
sequence was Hack Wilson and
Bud Teachout, of the Cubs, for
Burleigh Grimes, of the Cards.
And chances are that Wilson
will never stay as a Card but
will go to the Braves.
All in all, it was a dull, iStless
performance and unless the
league proxies and pilots can put
on an improved show next year
the suggestion is offered that
they confine their activities to
the classified advertising column

With an array of good material

ever before in the history of ath-

charge of the team this season,

argued that the dropped ball,
once having rolled beyond the
foul line, was legal delivery,
and that Dorsey should not have
re-rolled it.
Call Meeting
Maude Youmans, secretary of
the league, has called a meeting
to obtain an official decision on
the case.
Howard Campbell, a witness to
many peculiar incidents in his IL
years of bowling in the District,
was asked for his opinion. The
Sailor opined that as long as
the girl was not actually in the
act of delivering the ball, but
dropped it while taking it off
the rack, it could not be termed
a leg delivery. However. he add
ed hastily, that's simply his opin-
ion.
Another classy attraction has
been added to tomorrow nights

ranged is the clash between Wally

rivals having met several times

235 FOUNDER
HEAVIEST Of
FORWARDS
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON

BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON
The three local university foot
ball teams which face the
Alabama All-Stars in the charity
contests at the Clark Griffith
Stadium tomorrow afternoon will
appear midgets in comparison to
the Southerners.
The Dixie Collegians, who
breezed into town yesterday, are
giants and evidently will depend
upon power plays for their gains.
The line, from end to end,
averages 210 pounds per man
and that is plenty heft spread
over a football front.
The heaviest is "FootS"
Clement, 6 foot. Pinch tackle,
who hits the scales at 235 pounds.
Clement is all-Southern tackle.
Next comes Fred Babe" Sington,
the other tackle who also stands
6 foot, 2 inches but is 10 pounds
less.
Many Gold Footballs
This chap Sington owns more
gold footballs than General
Pershing does medals, by the
way. He was all-America last
year and was line coach at Duke
U. this season.
The tallest of the Alabamans
is Shorty" Propst, who stretches
feet inches. He graduated
from the Tuscaloosa schol about
six years ago. but has been fresh
man football coach at Alabama
since. He is in good shape, how
ever, judging by the way he went
through the drills at the Clark
Griffith Stadium yesterday.
Head Coach Frank Thomas says
that the Alabamans will use the
style of play as taught them by
Wallace Wade. This is the double
wing back method pioneered by
Glenn Warner. Says Thomas:
'"The team will use the style
that Wallace Wade used at Ala
bama. This is because that only
seven of this years eleven came
here for tOmOrrOw'S games. You
know, we could only bring with
US those who have finished their
football careers at Alabama.
And, by the way, the boys are
taking the series of Commute
games with Catholic University,
George Washington and George
town seriously, and I believe
the spectators will see some
lively action. It'll be worth
their money"
The seven seniors who will be
seen in action are Capt. Joe Sharp,
center; Ben Smith, end; Ears"
Whitworth, guard; Max Jackson,
tackle; Leon Long, halfback; Joe
CauSey, halfback. and John
Tuckerman, quarterback. Sharp.
Smith. Whitworth and Long are
regulars.
Many 1880 Members
Most of the squad of 26 were
members of Alaban1a's great
eleven of 1880, which swept to
80 victory over Washington
State in the Rose Bowl game at
Pasadena, Calf, last New Years.
Chief of these are Sington and
Clement. That the boys nave
kept themselves in superb shape
was evidenced by the brisk work
out yesterday and none seem to
have an ounce of : Superfluous
flesh.
