the Cadet passing, kicking, and running with the ball. Meyer seemed immune to injury most of the time He would bounce up smiling after big 200-pounders had tried their darndest to bury him in the turf.
 His first season on the squNd, 1884, Meyer earned the unenviable reputation of being a fumbler. Time after time he carried the ball for neat gain only to lose it when he was brought down. Monk, him. self, always insisted that he did not tumble. His story was always the same-someone stole the ball from him.
 Monk made up his hand to devise some means of putting a stop to this ball snatching. He worked out a scheme which worked pretty well in the game against Navy at Phila- delphia
 That Settled That After he had carried the ball for a gain Meyer felt one of his tacklers slip his hand under the ball. There was no tumble, for just as the midshipman was about to give the ball tug Monk sank his teeth into his tormentor's thumb. That just about took care of the ball. grabbing.
 The Cadets are pretty well fixed for kickers in Meyer, Craig and Wilson. Wilson and Meyer seem ca pablo of taking care of the passing assignment. Early practice at West Point indicated that Coach David son was going in her laterals Tn a big way this season.
 The Cadets are well-fixed for re- serves-better, perhaps, than at any time during Davidson's regime. But they lack the all-important exper-. fence. A flock of looking youngsters has come up from last years plebe team.
 Davidson has a squad of 28 from the 1885 yearling squad available for duty, some of them nightly fine prospects. Ockerhauser is likely to give Bob Kasper a run for the quarterback berth before the season is far underway.
 The plebes won four of the'r five games last fall tying with Kiski school in the other contest.

SPORT SLANTS

Had Lieut.. Gar Davidson paid any attention to the would-be ex- perts at West Point who insisted that Monk Meyer was far too light to amount to anything as football player he would not be building his attack around the diminutive triple threat as he is doing this fall.
 Luckily Davidson paid no heed to cries that he was wasting his time on the monkey. Hours spent in tutoring Meyer were hours well spent-for in 1885 Monk rewarded his coach by performing brilliantly all season. Today, Davidson is downright thankful that he has Meyer to count on, for this fall finds him with only three other starters from the 1885 eleven on Woody Stromberg, captain of the Cadets, Eric Erickson and Tank Smith.
 When Meyer first reported for football in his plebe year someone remarked to his father, an army officer, that it was pity that the youngster did not pack a bit more weight-he might do fairly well as football player.
 Don't worry about his lack of weight replied Monks father, He will do all right. He's tough little So-and-so'
 Monk has proven mighty rugged for all his lack of weight. No mem Der of the West Point team stood up better under fire last fall than did Monk. The programs carried his weight as 159 pounds last sea- son although it was well known that the Monkey never weighed more than 150 pounds in his life.
 Shrank During Season
 As a matter of fact he weighed 145 pounds when the Cadets lined up against Yale. Subsequent tri- umphs further reduced his weight until he scaled only 139 for the Army Navy classic on Franklin Field last fall. The loss of weight didn't seem to impair his effec- t;veness. He was the sparkplug ol

FARMERS CALLED
TO A. PARLEY
Representatives of 5000,
600 Growers to Meet Here
Next Week.
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated fTeSS.
A major farm meeting will be held
here next week to plumb the Supreme
Courts A. A. a. decision for future
possibilities of national farm legisla-
ton.
Sponsors of the meeting said 3,OO0.-
900 farmers will be represented. Dele
gates are the officers Of the American
Farm Bureau Federation, the National
Grange. the National Cooperative
Council. the Farmers National Grain
Corp. and the American Agricultural
Editors Association.
The delegates act in unison as the
National Agricultural Conference.
Speakers include L. ]. Taber, national
master of the Grange, and Edward A.
ONeal. president Of the Farm Bureau,
who said the courts ruling on A. A. A.
would precipitate knock down and
drag out" battle in Congress.
Amendment Talk Revised.
Agricultural spokesmen in Washing
ton believed the court decision might
preclude many previously discussed
ideas Of farm legislation. They re-
ferred specifically to Justice Roberts
opinion that 'the act CA. A. A. in
vadeS the reserved rights of the States.
1t Is statutory plan to regulate and
control agricultural production, mat
ter beyond the powers delegated to the
Federal Government"
Some were of the opinion there was
no escape from constitutional
amendment if farmers are to receive
aid from the Federal Government.
Both the Grange and the Farm Bureau
are on record against such an amend
ment, but were uncertain what attitude
would develop at the national con-
ference.
Fred Brenckman, legislative repre-
sentative of the Grange, said his
organization wouldn't change any
fundamental of the Constitution to
gain any of the things lost by the
courts A. A. A. ruling
I'VE want legislation to coincide
with the Constitution rather than have
the Constitution nodded to acts of ex-
pediency. We feel there is certain
legislation of general type which can
be enacted within the limits of consti-
tutionality."
Refers to Export Debentures.
He referred to the old Grange ex-
port debenture plan, described as ex-
tending to surplus farm products the
principles of the tariff drawback He
said he believed the Government
legally could extend warehousing IA
cilities, providing funds for farmer
controlled storage plants in the in
terest Of orderly marketing.
Chester Gray, representing the Farm
Bureau, said the equalization fee plan
his organization had supported through
the years might have a new chance
now since it emphasized control of
marketing rather than control of pro-
duction. 1t previously was vetoed by
Presidents Coolidge and Hoover as
unconstitutional
All agreed there was no hope for the
plan to guarantee the cost of produc-
tion to farmers through licensing pro-
cessorS and distributors since it is
predicated on price fixing to regulate
agricultural production.

kansas: 1T is not practicable now to
anticipate what action will be taken
by Congress"
A. S. Wendell, president of League

farmers in Iowa, South Dakota, Ne
braska and Minnesota: agriculture is
entitled to protection as we'll
as the manufacturing industry is. "
If the A. A. A. is unconstitutional, so
is the Hawley-Smoot tariff"
Farmers Not Going Back"
Gov. Henry H0rner of Illinois: 1T Is
my earnest conviction the A. A. A. gave
the farmers the biggest lift they have
had in the last 25 years-at least since
the World War"
n. c. Williamson, president Ameri-
can Cotton Cooperative Association:
The cotton farmers are not going
back to the old cutthroat method of
growing cotton at price below the
cost of production"
]. C. HoItOn, commissioner of agri-
culture for Mississippi. said farmers in
that State would lose s12,500,000 If
A. A. A. and Bankhead payments were
cut of. THE experience of the last
four years has definitely shown the
South that production control is nee
essary. I believe some plan will take
the place of the A. A. A. which has
been the savior of the cotton farmer"
he said.
"The Worst Possible"
Claude Wickard, chief of the A. A.
AS corn-hog section: This sounds
like the worst possible decision. 1t
evidently means that the Federal Gov
eminent does not have the power to
control agriculture because it is intra-
state
Prof. II. C. Ramsower, head of the
A. A. A. program in Ohio and director
of the university's agricultural exten-
sion service: THE decision will cause

on crop rotation and adjustment,
coupled with scientific practice"
