STEEL |NGOT RATE
CLIMBS FURTHER
Iron Age Sees "Abundant
Evidence" That Consump-
ton Is Advancing.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the ASSoclated Press.
NEW YORK, November 27.-There
is abundant evidence" that actual
consumption of steel is advancing,
said Iron Age today in its weekly re-
view. Ingot production was placed at
Sc per cent Of capacity, raising the
average for November to 5420 per
cent, or the highest for any month
since May, 1884.
The publications scrap steel COM
posite has risen from $13 to s13.25 a
gross ton, its highest level since the
first week in October, 1890.
The expected general advance in
steel prices has failed to materialize,
the summary declared.
The turn-about on finished steel
prices comes as a surprise" it con-
tinued. Rising demand, higher costs
OF scrap, pig iron and fuel, and finally
the recent advances in semi finished
steel-all pointed to a mark-up of
finished products as a logical Sc
quence.
1T will be recalled, however. that
the attitude of the industry toward
the proposed advances has been
divided from the first and the more
conservative interests, by reafirming
current prices, have definitely settled
the issue"
A number OF producers, it was
pointed out, have opened books for
first quarter on sheets, tin mill black
plate, hot and cold-rolled strip steel
and various other products at un-
changed prices. But the last advance
on a semi-finished product, i.e, a
So mark-up on wire rods has become
general
"A number Of considerations may
have influenced the decision to stand
pat. In the first place, heavy antici-
patory stocking by consumers in the
remainder Of this year might have
robbed mill operations in the first
quarter to unduly initiate production
prior to December 81.
Steel demand of late has beer
stimulated in part by the recent talk
Of price advances, and it is possible
that the removal of this incentive
may act as check on further ex-
pansio!. of production in the i'm
mediate future.
However, there is abundant evi-
dence that actual consumption oi
steel il expanding Motor car com.
panies continue to take larger guam
titles of both pig iron and steel, farm
equipment makers are planning fol-
a Is per cent increase in business
in 1886. Numerous Government
financed projects are maturing and
railroad buying promises to resume
its former position as leading out
let for steel"

OUTLOOK BRIGHTER
FOR OIL INDUSTRY
Cuts in Output, Refinery
Runs and Stocks Taken
as Hopeful Signs.
BY JAMES JAMESON,
Associated Press STAFF Writer.

TULSA, Okla, November 27.-Oil
men who believe production should be
held level with consumption won a
round during the week and the in
dustry's outlook frightened for the
Winter siege.
Reductions in crude oil production
refinery runs and stocks and a lower
Oklahoma Oil allowable for December
all were taken as signs that the in
dustry is striving to strengthen the
price structure.
An off-color no&e was 142,000-bar-
rel increase in finished gasoline stocks
Even here there was a downward
trend, however, as the increase was
only one-fourth as large as the prev
ious week.
Maintenance Of the refined products
price schedule during Winters low
consumption period remains one Of the
major goals of the industry. If the
usual slump can be avoided, the in
dustry will be in strategic position for
a price hike all along the line when
the Spring break comes.
Natural gasoline revived during the
week and was quoted at AIS in Okla
homa and 37s in Texas. Kerosene
was weak and fuel oils steady, with nc
appreciable increase in demand.
The Pennsylvania crude market was
improved further with another price
increase of Is cents a barrel.

SHOE PRODUCTION
is FAR ABOVE 1884
October Total of $4,000, 900 Pairs
Highest Reported for ANY
Month Since 1929,
Oisnateh IN The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 27.-Al-
though shoe output in December will
probably be decreased sharply from
the unusually high October figure Of
around 36,000,000 pairs, it is expected
that output for the month will con-
tinue to compare favorably with last
year. For the full year, 1885. pro-
duction will probably increase to ap-
proximately $4,000 900 pairs, which
would compare with 357,000,000 pairs
in 1884, and the previous record Of
361, 900 900 pairs attained in 1929, ac-
cording to the Standard Statistics Co
Of New York.
October production of 100000
pairs is the highest for the month In
any year since 1929, and represents q
gain of more than Is per cent over
october, 1884.
Because of the relatively high rate
Of output in recent months, the de-
cline from 1884 witnessed in the first
half has been more than Offset, ano
actual production for the nine months
ended September 80, was IA per cent
greater than the corresponding period
year ago. Giving effect to the un-
usually high estimated October figure
production for the first 10 months
amounted to 321, 100000 pairs, gain
of 3.6 per cent over the corresponding
interval of 1884.

INDIES, SEYMOUR
 PLAY FOR VALLEY GRID H0 N 0RS
Local Squad Puts Up Per- feet Record in Sunday
 Tilt; Carl Mistura Out

When the Seymour Alumni and the Waterbury Indies clash Sunday at Seymour in semi-pro football game the winning team should go a long way towards claiming the Valley championship. The Alumni have beaten every outfit they have stacked up against in the lower part of the valley. Their only de- feat came at the hands of an out side club, the Walingford Walcos, the latter team scoring in the last play of the game to win 60.
 The Waterbury Indies meanwhile have been making a name for themselves in the upper part of the valley having an undefeated and unscored on record after six tough games. Sundays game will undoubt edly attract an overflow crowd of 2000 fans to French memorial field to see these two great outfits clash. Joe Bagley, giant center, will be back in the lineup this Sunday and with the 200 pound tackle Moss on one side and 1855 pound Donate at the other tackle post the Indies great defensive line will be at al- most its full strength for this inn portant encounter. Carlo Mistura, versatile guard, will be out for this Sunday and the Murphymen will undoubtedly miss him but with the changing of Carlos brother, Tilleo from an end to guard and with the addition or Fighting" Joe Tar ano of the South End to the guard squad the Indies will have two speedy and chunky guards to take the place of the. missing Mistura' .Hotfoot Laudisi is the other guard Handy Red" Quilter who has played center, tackle and the back field will be turned into an end this week to bolster up the flank posi- tions. Rocco Rinaldi and Henry Murphy regular ends reported in good condition following the All Thomaston clash last week and they will be all set to start this Sunday.
 All the men in the backfield in- cluding Bartolini, Sheehan, Gallu- 10, DeSantis, Maxwell and Platt are in perfect shape for the game and with the exception of Carlo Mistura the Indies will be at full strength for this game.
 The game will start promptly at 2:3O p. m. Three Central Board men will officiate including Gene Conroy, Dutch" Forst and Ed Clark.

KEY BOUNCED AS| 'U.C.L.A. ATHLETE GETS DISMISSAL.
Dean Miller Convinced PhOney Credentials
 Were Used

Los Angeles. Nov. 8 - UPO - Guardians of the football deSttnies of U. c. L. A. to-day found them selves burdened with ugly citations anent the schools star fllllback, and 8 headache.
 The evidence was such that the university officials were ready to de- clare the fullpack = surname Key, Christian name and ,nicknamed ob- scured in 8 welter of conflicting statements 8 ringer" They al- ready had ruled him ineligible for further competition.
 Dr. Ernest c. Moore, Provost, said the status of Key would be decided finally to-day. A line of action was to be mapped out, designed not only to deal with the present case but also to protect the school from registration of students under as- sumed names in the future, as ap- parently was the case with Key.
 Settled :
 Dean Earl Miller made a swing half way across the continent gath ering data on Key. He reported last night from Amarillo, Tex, that he had found the fullback, operating under the name Of Ted Key, defin- itely ineligible to play football at U. c. L. A. He added that Key probably would be dismissed from the University.
 The investigation originated with charge that the student registered as R. F. (Ted Key was Clois Fran cis Key, a brother who had been playing college football at various schools for several years.
 T am convinced" Dean Miller said at Amarillo, ''that Keys cre- dentials are false and that he is Clois or someone else-not Ted. l shall present the evidence I have amassed after my return to Cali fornia. The matter will be handled there"
 Hot on the heels of the disclosure from Amarillo, Key returned to the campus from the seclusion he had sought during the investigation. The United Press learned that he admit ted to close friends that he was Clois Francis Key-not his brother Ted Key.
 Ben Person, publicity director of U. c. L. A., reported Key had made a full confession"
 Switch
 The story was that Key played two years at the Texas school of Mines. Later he secured credentials from one Bob" Key who was al- legged to have attended Panhandle High school in Amarillo, then mat riculated at U. c. L. A. after year with the Urban Military Academy, a so-called farm" for the higher in- stitution.
 Key was said to have played al Urban under the name of Robert ''Tex" Names, and was held. ineli- gible to compete as freshman be- cause of that dereliction. A student manager at the Univer- sity of California at Berkeley ad- vised Coach Bill Spaulding last Sat- urday that Ted Key was Clois Fran cis Key. Two days later Dean Miller started his fact-f1nding odyssey.

BY HENRY McLEMORE
 United Press Staff Correspondent)
 New York, November 8 - (UP)- Minnesota over Iowa? Yes. Cali fornia to lick Washington? Sure. Notre Dame to take Northwestern? Certainly. St. Mary's over Ford ham? Indeed, indeed.
 But those are snaps. Anybody could call lem. When I'm finally crowned an expert, I want them to say: 'He earned it the hard way" So I'm going to pick 8 couple of honest to goodness tough ones before I settle down to naming the pushoverS. Want to know a tough one? Okay, try and ring the bell on Lowell Textile and Brooklyn College, those two giants of the gridiron who clash at Lowell on the morrow.
 Getting Better
 Offhand, Lowell would seem to have an edge. In six games this years its resolute, compact line has yielded but a meagre 137 points, while its tearing backs have scored 26 points. Brooklyn's record is not quite so proud. Its line, while a stubborn, fighting unit, has been punctured for 183 points in half a dozen games, and its backs have been held to three touchdowns. Too, Lowell has won 8 game and Brook lyn hasn't. In the second game of the season Lowell, rising to superb heights, humbled powerful and smart American International team, 20 to 2. And as you know, Ameri- can International is stronger than any of those other stock exchange Titans = American Can, Indus Alec A, Cities Serv pf, Elec Pwr Assoc, and Comwlth Edison.
 Brooklyn, on the other hand, held Moravian to 21 points, and bowed to Canisius 52 to o only after a terrific battle in which the out come was in doubt right up to the opening kickoff. Several of the critics who saw the Brooklyn Ca- nisius game tell me that except for one little thing - the fact that Canisius was ten touchdowns bet ter = Brooklyn might well have gotten off with tie.
 Nevertheless, I must string along with Lowell. like 8 defense which has yielded but 137 points in six trips to the post.
 The Chattanooga-Mercer game is even more difficult to put a finger on, largely because the two teams have shown such startling changes of form. Take Mercer, for example. How are you going to figure team which, after losing to Georgia and Navy, comes bounding back to over- whelm Birmingham Southern eleven which has been the source of Birmingham and its environs for years? Chattanooga is the same way. Licked by Georgia and that brother act, Emory and Henry Chattanooga bounced back to trounce Oglethorpe, team which had previously defeated Erskine and Alabama State Teachers at Troy.
