Too Much to Pop

THE tendency in these days to explore new
! fields to derive income Is accompanied by
the danger Of oversupply Of the new markets.
There is for instance. the case Of the pop corn
raisers Pop corn sells at considerably higher
prices than other corn and serves as . tempt
ing field for those not growing corn Of this
type However, the pop corn market is already
well supplied and threatened new paintings
would only serve to bring about the production
of large crops which will never see the inside
Of a pepper. When used for stock feed, pop
corn Is very fancy diet. usually beyond the
means Of most feed purchasers. The only
alternative Is sale at loss.

Y strengthen their hold on their
place in the Eastern Intercol-

they encounter Georgetown at Phila-

shows one victory over West Virginia
and two defeats atGthe hands OF Pitts
burgh and Carnegie Tech. George
towns only conference start resulted
in a 32-18 trouncing by Pitt.
Pitt, incidentally, gained clear title
to first place on Wednesday night by

In three starts.
THE champion Princeton Tigers in
i wade Hanover, N. H., tonight to
battle Dartmouth's Indians m the
feature contest Of two-game Eastern

gram. Cornell will play Columbia at
New York in the other battle.
The Tigers, after taking an unex-
pected beating from Pennsylvania 5
pace-setters, recovered their winning
form at the expense Of Columbia
earlier this week and will be slightly
favored over Dartmouth, but q victory
for the Indians would not be much Of
an upset. They have won two Of their
first three games, offsetting q defeat
by Penn with victories over Cornell and
Yale.
Dartmouth can boast no such high
powered offensive as the Princeton at
tack, which has averaged better than
40 points in II games this season, but
the Indians defense has been some
what tighter. If they can stop Ken
Fairman and Lank Seibert, Princeton's s
crack forwards, then the Indians should
have an excellent chance Of winning.
CORNELL, already beaten once by
~ Columbia at Ithaca, hopes to re-
verse that decision on the Lions
home floor. Columbia's 1884 triumph
at Ithaca a week ago was minor
upset and the Lions may be hard
pressed to repeat, even though they
will be playing on their own floor

successive victories, returns to league

Then they scored 3 points to George
