Farm Board Holdings.
The professional grain trade points
to the huge wheat holdings of Federal
Farm Board subsidiary corporations as
one OF the largest factors in depressing
prices. They point out that even If
this grain would be held from the mar
ket as suggested, it would appear in the
country's visible supply. which is the
show window Of the grain business, and
would intimidate traders.
THE only way the Government can

R0CKNE IS TEMPTED
BY FAT PEN OFFER
$25, 0O0-a-Year Newspaper Berth
Wouldn't Restrict Him
as Gridiron Coach.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, January 2.-Worries never
cease for Knute Rockne.
All that was worrying the famous
Notre Dame foot ball coach today, after
emerging from his overhauling at the
Mayo brothers clinic at Rochester,
Mimi, was decision to accept or reject
an offer Of $4,000 year to become a
journalist.
Rival Chicago newspapers were re-
ported bidding for Rockne's journalistic
services, tempting him with an offer of
$4,000. Under the terms offered him,
his writing Job would not in any way
interfere with his coaching activity.
!. Rockne, greatly refreshed by 10 days
Of hospital rest, was in Chicago for is
minutes yesterday, and, carrying out
his physicians orders, did not make
any radio speeches, write any magazine
articles or attend any banquetS during
his visit. He arrived at 7:45 am. and
caught train for South Bend, Ind, at
8 o'clock. He rested and recuperated
there until noon, then caught a train
for New York to attend to business In
connection with the automobile show.
So far as Rockne knows, there will be
no Danquets for him until January Is,
when letters will be awarded to Notre
Dame foot bail players. After that he
intends to take a long rest in either
California or Florida.

WON GREAT MORAL
TRIUMPH AT DUKE
Gave School Its Strongest
Team After 1t Asked.
Him to Resign.
BY H. C. BYRD.

w WASHINGTON AND LEES
M foot ball coach next
v Y year, and probably for
several years thereafter,
will be Jimmie DeHart. No an
nouncement of DeHart's appoint
ment has yet been made by the
university authorities, but it is
definitely understood that a for
NAL statement to this effect is
due shortly. DeHart coached at
Duke last Fall and is to be sue
ceeded there by Wallace Wade,
now at Alabama.
Generally De Hart Is regarded as one
Of the best coaches in the South, and
has been for several years. This will
not be his first experience at Washing
ton and Lee, as he was head coach at
that university before he went to Duke
De Hart played quarterback and half
back for Glenn Warner at Pittsburgh
and was brilliant, especially as a ball
carrier. He graduated and went to the
University OF Georgia as coach. From
Georgia he came north to washington
and Lee, where he was head coach for
several seasons. Five years ago he re-
ceived big offer to succeed Tom Jones
at Duke and accepted. However, except
for the season just ended, De Hart never
enjoyed the same success at Duke that
he won at washington and Lee.
Had No Choice.
De Harris stay at Duke University
shows the uncertainty of the coach
ing profession and the unfortunate sit
uation in which a coach often finds
| himself. During the early part of his
regime at Duke, it is told, De Hart
found himself up against a PROPOSE
ton OF having to arrange a money
| schedule without much consideration fol
the winning or losing of games. BY a
money schedule it simply is meant that
games expected to yield the greatest
| financial returns are the games sched-
uled without much consideration fol
anything else.
The result Of this kind Of schedule
making usually is that few games are
won, and when De Hart did not turn out
winning teams people around Durham
began to yell for his scalp It is said
that they even went so far as to dis
tribute handbills saying that de Hart
Must Co. Duke authorities took cog
hl1dilCe ana apparently yleldeQ 10 the
sentiment, and, according to report
asked De Hart to resign year ago and
offered to pay him his contract in full
the contract being good until the end OF
the current year.
Sticks to His Guns.
De Hart refused the proposition, q
proposition which, by the way, most
people would have been, under the cir
cumstances, glad to accept. But De
Hart had too much courage for that
and his reply was, "I have a contract
to coach your foot bah team next year
and I'm going to coach it and show
you that I can coach successfully, then
I'll resign and be glad to-" De Hart
had the courage to stick on through
and last Fall turned out the strongest
and most successful eleven in Dukes
gridiron history.
The results of Dukes games last Fall
were more than a mute testimonial to
De Harris ability as a coach. To those
familiar with his situation at Duke, the
successes in recent months represent
tribute to real manhood which any
university ought to be glad to have In
its faculty.

SOUTHWEST STARS
PROVE GREAT TEAM
Hailed as Strongest Eleven
Section Ever Produced
on Beating Midwest.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
IN ALIAS, Tex, January 2.-One
of the finest foot ball machines
the Southwest ever saw was
being dissembled today and its
parts strewn from here to Florida, its
purpose having been achieved in two
brief, thrill-crammed hours yesterday.
For individual brilliance and all
round efficiency it is doubtful this Sec
ton ever will see a greater team than
the Southwest eleven that trampled the
Midwest AIl-Stars, 10 to 0, in the third
annual classic.
The defeated forces of Coach Bob
zuppke and the Southwest eleven help
create large fund for the Scottish
Rite Hospital for Crippled Children
here. Officials expressed doubt the net
would be as high as year ago, $4,000,
but it promised to approach that figure.
Coach is Lauded.
Coach Morley Jennings of Baylor
University, who assembled the South
west squad and whipped into q great.
offensive and defensive unit, won wide
spread praise.
zuppkes vehicle lacked both the in
dividual stars and the team work of
the Southwest. Leo Jensvold, driving
halfback from Iowa, was almos the
entire Midwest offense, his passes and
fierce plunges accounting for virtually
all of his teams gains. He made one
43-yard gallop.
Only once did a Midwest score seem
imminent. That when the visitors re-
covered tumble on the Southwest So
yard mark in the third period. Arm
strong, burly Missouri tackle, offered a
threat when he intercepted a pass and
chased 1t back out to Iinidfield, almost
getting away for touchdown.
Hickman Shining Light.
The individual hero was Buddy Hack
man from the University Of Tennessee.
He was the handspring Of the winners
attack, scoring two touchdowns, one of
them on a brilliant 4O-yard run. and
throwing the pass that paved the way
for third score.
Louis Long, Southern Methodist, ran
40 yards to the Midwest's 1-foot line
after taking short pass from Hack
man in the first quarter. Hickman
drove across for a. touchdown. The play
that led to the Southwest'S second
score was triple pass, Brown to Hack
man to Peterson, Texas end, who grab
bed the ball from two interferers on the
3=yard line. Bethea, the Florida star,
took It across.
Hackman's twisting run for the final
touchdown was one to delight any foot
bah crowd. Starting from about the
50-yard line, after failing to spot q pass
receiver. the Tennessee Rambler Fe-
versed the field, cut to the side line
and wormed his way past a half dozen
tacklers to reach the goal. Rolling In
reference was supplied.

ington and Lee De Hart turned out
some fine teams, and it is expected
that under him Washington and Lee
again will enjoy the thrills of victories
such as it has not known since De
Hart left.
The coaching situation at the other
two schools in the South Atlantic Sec
ton, where new head coaches are be-
ing sought, is unchanged. Virginia has
discussed the possibilities of its job
with Bill Roper, but Roper, while
frankly interested, has so far been very
noncommittal, North Carolina State
College, if it has done anything toward
settling its problem. has made no an
nouncement of its action.
May Make Promotions.
At both schools there is a possibility
that men now members of their ath-
letic departments may take up the reins
next Fall as head coaches Many peo-
pie at North Carolina State feel that
Slaughter, former Michigan man who
has been line coach for several years,
would make the most effective head
coach who could be got, while at Vir-
ginia there is a. strong sentiment that
Gus Tebell, who took a job at Virginia
last Fall as assistant foot ball coach
and head base ball and basket ball
coach, would At in well as head of the
loot ball system. He was head coach
at North Carolina State before going
to Virginia
The situation at Virginia, though, has
been such that Tebell probably would
feel a measure of embarrassment over
accepting the job as head coach. How
ever, there really is no reason why he
should, as everybody who knows him
holds him in the highest esteem, and
Virginia has cleared its record to take
any action it desires by discharging in
full its obligation to Earl Abel.
