Alcohol to be Used
As Motor Fuel.

Middle-weStern farm leaders, who are
advocating the domestic allotment plan
as an emergency measure to reduce
production and raise farm prices, have
started work on more permanent step
in their program by setting up a
special committee to promote the use
of farm products in the manufacture OF
motor fuel, reports the Minnesota Farm
Bureau in a statement to The Ely
Miner.
A mixture of 10 per cent alcohol with
gasoline, farm leaders say, would create
a new market for 650,000,000 bushels OF
grain a year. This new market would
consume the entire surplus of grain as
we'll as the grain now used in pro-
ducing surplus livestock.
The mixed fuel, according to tests
recently made at Iowa State College,
performs well in ordinary motors and
has high anti-knock and acceleration
qualities. With corn at 60 cents a
bushel a price which would restore a
large measure of buying power to the
corn belt, motor fuel containing 10 per
cent corn alcohol would cost about
three cents gallon more than ordinary
gasoline. That compares in cost to
prices now charged for anti-knock
motor fuels.

LEGION TO HELP
HIKING YOUTHS
To Tender Helping Hand to
Wandering and Hayward
Young People.

The lending of helping hand to
the thousands of adolescents roaming
the country, hitch travelling, hiking and
wandering everywhere, is recommended
to the American Legion posts of Min
neSota by Father C. j. Normoyle OF
Cannon Falls, chairman of the state
Legion Americanism committee, follow
ing a recent meeting of that body.
Pointing out that through the Boy
Scouts, Junior Legion baseball, All
Clubs and similar activities, the welfare
of boys under II is pretty well looked
after, but that heretofore there has
been no place in the Legion's program
for interest in boys over II, Father
Normoyle states that this year he is
offering special prize, Legion plaque,
to the post doing most along this line,
viz:
/. PerSuading boys to return home;
CD Helping local boys to find work;
90 Helping to keep such youths out OF
trouble; "a Setting boys on the right
track after getting into trouble.
There are 468 Legion posts in Min
nesota and If each would help even one
boy, the Department of Minnesota
could we'll feel proud of its work and
have one more reason for existence,
the Legion's state Americanism chair
man believes.
These boys and sometimes girls,
Father Normoyle states, ARE not
vicious. They have the wanderlust
They have no guidance. They are the
victims of economic conditions. Why
not give them a helping hand? Some
have suggested segregating them ir
army forts, but why segregate? Who
viii control them or ease the wander
lust from which they suffer-"

ssT PLAYED that play correctly.

PLAYED that play correctly. In
L other words-I played it right
but,-which with reverse English
fortifies Bradley's point in his story,
and proves not merely the sincerity, but
the correctness Of his conclusions, and
all or at least partly at my expense in
this particular case.
That was SO years ago last November
l9, or the corresponding date, at New
Haven. Arthur Poe was playing right
end for Princeton. I was at left tackle
Tor Yale. Doc Hillebrand, at right
tackle for Princeton, started against
me, but had been injured and put out
sorry, but also glad to say not by me
some considerable time earlier in the
game. Lloyd, who succeeded him; was
good, but he was not a Doc Hillebrand.
Il feared Arthur Poe-any Poe-any
time-and place-anyhow. had known
the family outside of foot ball, all
charming people, but par excellence ON
the foot ball field, as had personal
reason to know from our experience at
Princeton just one year previous. when
this same Arthur grabbed-not re-
covered-a Yale-carried ball, and raced
to a touchdown and Princeton victory
He was light, fast, shrewd. knew
foot ball innately. and was tricky as
the devil.
He could not kick-that is. either
punt or drop-kick. I knew it. We all
knew it. So after the conference of
the three remaining Princeton starters,
with So seconds to play, when Poe
dropped back about Is feet from me
straight back from mel simply had
to play 1t right.

ODDS ON PAUL DROP
AS OPPONENT IDLES
Fans Construe Stiff Workout by
Champ as Evidence of
Mediocre Condition.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, January 12.-Tommy Paul,
~ the Buffalo chicken raiser, who
risks his National Boxing Associa-
ton featherweight crown against Fred
die Miller of Cincinnati at the Chicago
Stadium tomorrow night, is not SO sure
of the fruits Of hard work, after all
Paul wound up his drill for the battle
yesterday by boxing six rounds with
southpaws, while Miller used up the day
by loafing around. Result-betting odds
shifted sharply from to 5 in the
champs favor to even money. Many
fans predicted that by ring time the
Cincinnati left-hander would be slight
favorite.
The champions heavy drill two days
before the fight convinced many that
he was not in shape yet. Miller, how
ever, seemed ready, although he had
a pound to knock off before making
| the featherweight limit.
Only one thing about the fight was
certain today. That was all seats in
row IS had been sold. As president Of
the Anti Superstition Society, President
Sidney Strotz of the Stadium has been
challenging bad luck all week, topping
it off with fight tomorrow night,
which falls on Friday, the 18th.

NO TECH NINE APT
TO PLAY IN SPRING
With Others Showing Little
Interest, Title Series May
Be Discontinued.
BY EDWARD A. FULLER, JR.

BY EDWARD A. FULLER, JR.
TINE annual public high
school base ball champion
i ship series soon may be a
thing of the past.
1t was learned today from an
authoritative source that Tech
may not be represented on the
diamond next Spring, and 1t Is
common knowledge that interest
in the national pastime at some
of the other institutions has
waned, at least, so far as it con-
Germs mines for these schools.
Should Tech withdraw from the series
the four other schools might carry on,
but the significant feature, it was point
ed out today, is that interest in the
game in the schools has ebbed to a
point where one seriously is consid-
ering giving it up. True, Techs dia-
mond mines In recent years have been
mediocre and that doubtless has helped
to undermine the games popularity at
that institution, but even in schools
that have been represented by capable
mines the old sport has not been re-
ceiving the attention it once did.
Attendance at series games has
dwindled, and while some of the Tits
last year when Central, Eastern and
Western fought to a tie in exciting
competition drew rather well, the ordi-
nary series contests for the last sew
eral seasons have failed to attract more
than a small band Of the faithful.
IN prep school circles hereabout, too,
the game has had tough shedding In
recent years. st. Johns has not been
represented on the diamond for some
seasons and diminishing interest has
been noted among other institutions In
this class.
There can be no doubt that the grand
old game rapidly is approaching fight
for its very existence so far as the
schoolboy institutions here are con-
cerned, If it is not already engaged In
such battle.
Observers here believe they see q
definite relationship between the IN
erased popularity Of golf and the wan
ing interest In base ball. 1t Is argued
that the links game and other sports
unquestionably have hurt base ball as
many former ardent followers Of the
national pastime would rather get their
recreation by actually participating IN
sport rather than as mere spectators.

7 IERE is the .champeen of the
Fl wrestling world, that is of
I i i all If the world other than
New York and points here
and there where they have not
come around to figuring out what
all of this razzle racket is about.
He Is Jeems Londos, the Greek multi
millionaire, thespian poser, wrestler and
everything in the mat game from chief
of his own tribe to paying of the
hired help. He is everything but a
competitive wrestler, so they tell me.
While most of the boys are going
in for grunttng and grodning, hippo
dron,irg and bellotosng, the maha-
rdjdh of the most confusing pustine
in the tUorld still sticks to legitimate
grips and holds, only stepping out OF
these reouIdrities at times tuhen he
thinks the trade in some particular
locality leans somewhat totcard the
3 bizarre.
Though Jeems Is the king pin and
the high swat of his racket, he still
lacks the competitive spirit shown-if
only for the gate-by most Of his en-
ployes.
Just why Jim is always on the win
ming end of all combats in which he
has engaged, yet admittedly lacking in
scrapping spirit, nobody has yet ex-
from Athens-or Is he?-iS so good
that he can tumble his competition
without stirring his fighting inclina-
tions. And it Is also possible that his
opponents carefully see that the rugged
Greek does not have his temper ruff
fed.
However, the thing Is that Lon
dos, the champ, has less competi-
tive spirit, they say, than any other
wrestler In the bewildering game.
But he has a winning habit.
Which Is better.
Tonight Jim wrestles the Harvard
man. Frank Judson, who up until a
three grips, according to the best ex-
| perts in the rattle 'em racket.
But, it seems, that as soon as the
former Harvard coach was matched
with the sun-kissed man from Cali
fornia he suddenly added to his meagre
repertoire Of graphing grips until at
this very moment he has as many as
nine or eleven, holds grips or mangles.
Just .i0ty the matching NTH Lon
dos oipes a iCrestIer greater ability in
the minds of the experts / hdpe
rerer discouered. But it is true that
the Zifch boys become great mat
men overnight the moment they are
named to meet the champ.

- which won and lost games, plays
still remembered by the old
guard.
OF all these famous plays one of the
most discussed was the drop-kick Ar
thur Poe of Princeton made against
Yale over 80 years ago.
In the first place, it had all the ele-
ments of stirring melodrama. In the
second place. it beat a great Yale team.
In the third place, Poe had never tried
a drop-kick before. -
In order to get the complete low
down on this much discussed play, I
Of st. Louis, Mo, who played tackle for
Yale in that game and who still re-
calls every detail vividly.
Dave Francis, big, fast, aggressive
and powerful. was one Of the star
tackles of his time-but in that game
he was facing destiny.
His account adds an interesting chap
ter to foot ball history. He writesa
"Curiously enough I read three diff
ferent articles on that famous Poe kick
some time ago.
Much has been written for some
years about that drop-kick, even you, I
think, have touched on it. Bradley, one
OF the writer's, says In effect: 1t has
never been determined whether it was
toe, instep or knee that kicked that
goal I don't know Bradley, or at
least do not recall him, but he chose a
good title for his article, and he was
right. Here is the low-down on that
play.
i was probably the only man who
saw the play and remembered it, as a
losing foot ball player and one who
loves the game will remember every
important play-especially If it Is a
losing play-until his death. I am
