THE geographic center OF ingot
capacity of the steel industry
In the United States is in Crawford
County. Ohio. north and west Of
Crestline, according to calculation
made by the American Iron and
Steel Institute.
Capacity for producing steel in
gots by the Bessemer and open
hearth processes is evenly distrib-
uted around this point, which Is
the center Of gravity Of the steel
industry.
Since 1874. the earliest year for
which the Institute finds records
available, the center Of the steel IN
dustry has moved steadily toward
the West
This westward movement Of the
center of the steel industry closely
resembles a similar shift Of the
center of population Of the country.
Since 1870. the center Of population
mas moved 100 miles to the west,
from a point 48 miles east Of Gin

ESTATE SOLD
BY F. V. DUPONT
Large Dorchester Tract Goes
to w. w. Groves For Farm
and Game Preserve
OVER AT COOKS POINT

One of the largest real estate
deals in recent years in Dorchester
county, was consummated Thurs
day with the sale of Cooks Point,
by Frank V. DUPONT, of Whining
ton, to w. W. Groves, a resident of
Hills Point The transfer involves
over a thousand acres of farm and
marshland, bordering on the Chop
tank river and the Chesapeake Bay
formerly the property of the late
T. Coleman dupont, United States
Senator from Delaware, which at
his death became the property of
his son, Frank. Cooks Point was
originally divided into six farms
known for their fertility and their
splendid location in one of the
largest seafood sections of Mary
land. The best known of these
places was THE Moors." Other
tracts were owned by M. z. Sturg-
con, William Frazier, William H
Spedden, John E. Graves and L. n.
Graves. Wild ducks and geese,
muskrats and all kinds of native
wild life are found in this section.
The new owner being an ardent
sportsman, expects to set aside
part of it for game preserve. In
the waters, which border its shores
are fish, oysters and crabs. Mr..
Groves home adjoins the newly ac-
quired land. Here he has a large
flying field and huge plane which
he uses for business purposes, fly
ing frequently to Pittsburgh and
New York. He has used this
method of travel for seven years,
since establishing his residence
there after having lived in Pitts
burgh. When asked his plans for
the coming season, he replied that
he hoped to raise corn and toma-
toes on part of Cooks Point, and
stock the remainder with wild fowl.

A lineup that read Scroggins,

With the speedy Clifford Lawless

was potential scoring threat at all
times. ready to take over a regular

has even a brighter outlook than

Over Brones

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 2. ORA
stubborn band of Loyola of Los An
geles football players cllmaXed a
mediocre season yesterday by de-
feating Santa Clara, 7 to 0, in an up
set victory before $4,000 fans at Gil
more stadium.
After three periods of stumbling,
careless football, the Lions sudden
" came to life in the final period
to put on a 42-yard sustained drive
that ended in a touchdown.
Pete Lubisich, fullback, plowed
over from the one-yard line for
the score after Harry Acquar-
ELI, slippery little halfback, spark
ed the drive into pay territory.
George Ratkoviteh was rushed in
to kick the extra point and sue

Tt was Loyola's first victory in the
last five starts when the Lions were
defeated by Redlands, San Fran

State and u. G. L. A.
The Lions, who displayed a strong
defense against u. C. L. A. a week
ago, matched the formidable Bronc
line in drive but showed little Of
fensive power until the final per-
iod
After the listiess first three per-
iOds, Acquarelli started his teams
march by throwing a Vineyard
pass to Smell and then breaking
loose on a 20-yard run to the San
ia Clara l1-yard line.
In three plays Acquarelli placed
the ball on the one-yard strip and
Lubisich finished the job.
Santa Clara had several opportu-
mites to score but the Lion defense
stiffened and held for downs In the
second quarter the Broncs recovered
a Lion tumble on the seven yard
line, but an attempted field goal
failed. Again in the third period a

ball on the 11-yard line but Loyola

Maroon and Gold of Minnesota,

Picking the mythical national

NEW YORK, Nov. 80 UP)-Inter-
collegiate football was shocked by
a new earth-Shaking scandal today.
It was charged that Mike Mesco,
the hash-slinger of Railway, New
Jersey, was not the hero that be-
came Dartmouth's 18th man in the
Princeton game a week ago.
Instead, it was said, the man who
gave his ALTO rush clothed in
civVies- to Dartmouth's defense
was a 26-year-old architect, George
Comerford Larsen.
Larsen said he dashed out on
the field and into the Dartmouth
line because 'I was excited and
Dartmouth needed help
Needed Help
Dartmouth needed help all right
but the 18th man, whether he was
Mesco or Larsen Or another, didn't
impress the officials or either team
or the spectators as the correct
an.idote
The helpful one was booted from
the field after one play and as soon
as officials could get him.
Officials apparently figured that
the ousting was necessary since the
rules called for only II men on
each side and since the newcomer
wasn't in uniform and got consider
ably messed up in his one and only
play.
Mesco had basked week long in
the glory of having been the one
to 90 into the game to, in his own
words, show them Princeton SIS
sizes"
He was photographed dealing
hash over his counter, crouched in
