profitable as the previous year. owing to
the trend of upward prices, but the last
90 days brought us some Of the best
bargains we have enjoyed since the great
depression. These bargains came as a
resultOf the local depression growing out
OF the loss of the Canadian market by
Cut Bank producers. We had the pleas
ure of providing Christmas money for
some royalty owners who would other
wise have been without funds. Their
distress was our good fortune. That is
the way with this life. Our greatest
profits come from the necessities OF
others. We buy most probably when the
seller MUST sell. We sell most profit
ably when the buyer WANTS to buy.
To all our members we extend our
heartiest wishes for Happy and Pros

6uru Santa Dame IN Gopher


BY WILL FERRELL Y
Christmas eve was raw and gloomy 2
And the snow was siftin' down, II
And we longed for home and fireside y
And the comforts of the town. Il
nut the well was near completion, y
And the orders were 70 stick Il
Till we tapped the sand on DOoley n
In the test at Gopher Crick. d
You recall the Wilder Dooley
And the slack she called her home.
And the forty that the rock q
hound' y
Claimed was smack upon a dome,
And the flock Of ragged children
(SOme Of which were always sick q
And no funds to tempt the doctor y
To a ride to Gopher Crick d
And, along with other troubles d
Which beset the little band n
Was the matter of a mortgage q
Fallin' due upon the land. 4
And the measly cuss that held IL, u
With a heart as hard as brick,
Served a notice Of foreclosure
On the farm on Gopher Crick. q
/ went on 'tow'r" at midnight.
And the snow was fallin fast, $
The wind howled Christmas greetings Y
AS II roared around the mast. 81
And / also heard-what was it?
Something with an awful kick ~
Raisin' HI, four hundred meters
Meath the rig on Gopher Crick. u
l jumped and grabbed the throttle d
For the beam had run amuck.
/ eased her down and got 'em out 2
A wonderous piece of luck.
And none too sOon for on my trail "
A column, green and thick.
Rose up to greet the Christmas u
storm
That ragged on Gopher Crick. B
BY dawn we had her shackled. %
And the "tOolie" went to phone
And he had to pass the DOoley's q
And their little shack OF stone
He yelled at Miusss DOOley, "

the 1899 football schedule. Next

one Southern Conference eleven,
South Carolina, to be met here,
graceS the card.
PROBABLE CHOICE
Aside from the high academic
standing enjoyed by c. u. the
fact that the Cards support the
identical major sports program as
Southern Conference members,
makes the Brookland institution
the probable choice among the
three District of Columbia col
leges-namely, football, basket
ball, baseball, track and boxing.
George Washington does not
support boxing nor track.
Georgetown does not support
boxing, and the track activity is
limited to relay teams.
Catholic University alumni here
are of the unanimous opinion that
should the Cardinals be in a DOS.
ition to join the Southern Con-
ference, it should do so.

But he was punched around the

NEED FOR INSPECTORS SEEN
The average manager of boxers
is forever on the alert for record
fodder. He seeks out the soft
touches for his men, and in the
record book, q dozen straigt knock
outs after q fighters name carry
the inference Of marked ability.
The record books make no note of
setupS fed to fighters.
No fighter should be permitted
in any ring until he has passed
inspection by duly appointed at,
taches of boxing commissions
There would be a job for old
fighters Of ability. If this method
were carefully followed, the entire
class Of fighters would be higher,
and the boys who rose to main.
bout prominence would be certified

The two Eastern champions are
Bobby Matthias, lat FOUNDER, and
Bobby wartz, light-heavy-
weight.
The trio of Washington finalists
in the Boston Garden tournament
were Buster Miller, 126-pounder; !;
Carroll Wright, 135-pounder; and
James Kenner, heavyweight.
ACCEPT INVITATIONS
Matthias and Schwartz have
been invited and will compete in
the All-American Golden Gloves
finals in Boston next week.
Matthias and Schwartz earned
their Eastern titles the hard way.
After battling their way through
strong preliminary rounds, they
earned their big chance in the
finals last night.
Matthias was pitted against a
striking welter in Cozy STORAGE of
Syracuse, and after three sizzling
heats came out the victor by a
unanimous nod of the judges.
DOWN FOR COUNT
Schwartz stacked up against
Vincent Pellegrini of New York,
a pre-tourney choice. The Gotham
lad had plenty on the ball in the
opening heat to take the rounds,
but the Washington light-heavy
staged a thrilling comeback in the
second and third rounds to win
handily. Pellegrini was down for
the count twice in the second
round, and once in the third.
Buster Miller, WaShington's 1876
pound representative, was nosed
out of the title decision by George
Salamond. The battle was close
all the way.
Carroll Wright, Washington 1876
FOUNDER, was knocked out by the
technical route after one round
of milling, by Richard "Ticky"
Ford Of Boston.
James Kenner, Washington
colored heavyweight, was knocked,
out in the second round by Joe
Lubin of New Nork.

SCHOOL GRIDMEN
IN TWO
SHIFTS FOR CAME

Sixty.four uniformed players
representing high schools in and
around Washington today will
start bearing down for their inter-
sectional football game with Mon
roe, Ca, A. and NJ, in Catholic
University bowl a week from SUM-
day, December 10, at 2 o'clock.
So large and enthusiastic is the
squad that it has been decided to
divide it into two shifts, one group
working out at Western High
School daily, $3.50 o'clock, and the
other in Central's athletic plant at
the same hour.
DRAPER TO ASSIST
Artie Boyd, Eastern; Dan Ahern,
Western, and Orrel Mitchell, Con-
zaga, will be assisted by Jim
Draper, Dick Harlow's assistant at
Harvard, in tutoring the Western
High delegation. Representatives
of Western, Georgetown Prep,
Eastern, Roosevelt, Dewitt, Wood
row Wilson and Bulls will drill
under their direction.
Johnny Baker, Washington and
Lee; Hardy Pearce, Central, and
Gene Augusterfer, st. Johns, are
in charge Of the Central group
which features players of Wash
ington and Lee, Central, st.
Johns, George Washington High
and Tech. ....
Frank Murray, genial University
of Virginia football coach, was
among yesterdays onlookerS as
the players reported at Western
and expressed amazement at the
caliber and condition of the boys
FINE MATERIAL
ANY college coach in the
country with freshman material
like that would have no trouble
for some time to come" Murray
declared" one look at that gang
and you inStnicively know there's
some fine football there.
II don't know exactly how
good Red Barron's Monroe boys
are but they will have to show
plenty to buck these fellows. I've
never seen better looking ma
terial."
Scheduled to get together ON sig
mails and fundamentals today, the
players are down for a hard scrim.
mage Saturday which should pack
plenty of punch. The current plan
is to alternate four teams, one each
to the quarter, and use every
player on the All Star squad
against the spirited invaders.
Sidney Lust, Chairman of the
Ticket Committee, reports that the
advance sale starts tomorrow. Ovel
5000 tickets to students only will

Of L0wer Brackets
Seen Duty of Boxing BODY

The National Boxing Associa-
ton each year publishes an Off
cial rating of the top 10 fighters
in each class. This is more or
less constructive bit of work, serv-
ing as it does, to guide both public
and promoter. It is regretted that
the fistic SolonS do not carry their
laborS further, searching into the
lower brackets of fighters.
Go right down to the prelimi-
nary fighters, since they have q
place in the game along with the
first 10, and grade them.
There is not enough care exer-
cised in matching preliminary
fighters. Too often boy Of ex-
ceptional ability is tossed into the
ring with some poor kid whose
sole claim to pugiliStic prefer.
ence rests in his willingness to
take a beating for the few paltry
dollars he can earn. Very often
those dollars are needed at home,
but the lad Is paying a price Tor
money that would make Shylock
blush.
BONIVIRI HAS HEART
Consider, for instance, the bout
that was styled the first prelimi-
nary fight at Turner's Arena last
night little Vince RnniViri went,
into the ring with one Eddie
Walker, said to be a protege Of
Joe Dundee.
Walker won, not because he
was any great shuckS as a fighter,
but because Boniviri had nothing

'of Bob Tow, the Alexandria heavy
weight who is fighting in New
York on the Schmeling- Thomas
card. Bob May and his son, Bev-
erly, were at the fights last night
and saw Kanner stop Pross. They
agreed that Kanner was greatly
improved, but did not commit
themselves on the subject of max
ing a match.
Petey SarTon is in New York to
another fight. He has several
matches lined up, and this may be
his farewell tour of the country.
Sarron is pretty well off in the
goods o. the world, and if he finds
that he is being punished by the
fighters he is to meet, he will i'm
mediately hang up his gloves.
WILL OPEN A RESTAURANT
Sarron has invested more than
$50, 1000 in Government bonds in
the last year, and intends to make
further investments of the same
sort. There will be no benefits for
Petey Sarron. And when he re-
tires, he intends to open a restau-
rant, of all things.
Christopher Michale Foran, a
pretty fair sort of a fighter ac-
cording to Ralph Gold, his man
ager, will soon be in our midst.
Foran has whipped half a dozen
European champions, and will be
ready for our best. There is a
chance that he will meet Lou Gev.
inson at one of the outdoor shows
next spring.

Reports are prevalent that one
Of the three District of Columbia
colleges, Catholic u, George
Washington or Georgetown, may
be selected. However stress has
been noted on Catholic u, taking
into consideration that George
Washington desires not to be q
member of a conference, but Striv-
ing to slate intersectional games;
and Georgetown, already a men,
ber of the Eastern Basketball
Conference, is bent on cementing
relations with universities in the
Eastern domain.
REFUSES COMMENT
Athletic Director Arthur j.
(Dutch) Bergman, refused to
comment on the proposal of the
Cardinals joining the loop. He
simply stated that Catholic Uni
versity has not petitioned for
entrance, nor has it been rendered
a bid.
However, 1t is the opinion of
the writer, that C. U. would
welcome the opportunity to join
the association, as it strives to
enter athletic relationships with
institutions of the association
in all branches of sports.
Bergman, however, did state
that he intends to attend the
