Chicago-Word is that Howard Jones, maj jor -domo of Southern Cal ifornia football affairs for 13 years, will make his exit if Troy bows to U. c. L. A. in the mammoth Los Angeles Coliseum, Dec. 4.
 Nor will 1t be a voluntary action on Jones part. Jones likes South ern California and he likes his job, but the alumni wolves, backed up in surprising manner by an im- mediate university element, are in full cry.
 At the beginning of the campaign about to close, there was every in- dication that the Trojans would go places. There was a fair nucleus on hand from the 1936 squad, along with a brilliant crop of sophomores. But Southern California fared none too well. The Trojans defeated little College of the Pacific, Ohio State, and Oregon. They lost to Washington, California, Stanford, and Notre Dame, and were tied by Washington State and Oregon State.
 The Same Old Story
 Tn the face of this somewhat dis astrous season-the fourth in row Southern California alumni, who can't seem to tolerate losing foot ball team, suddenly found an ally in a certain university group that is interested only in filling the athletic coffers. And if Jones can't produce the team to do 1t they want some one who can.
 Alumni, in a big-hearted way, gave up the Notre Dame game a month ago, although they would have been in the first stages of de- lirium tremens had they been at South Bend to see how close Troy came to winning without the ser- vices of the great back, Amby Schindler.
 So now the crux of the whole sit- uation lies in the U. c. L. A. con- test. According to the steam which is being worked up, Jones must win. The lid will be blown off with a crash if and when the Uclans as much as eke out a one-point mar gin of victory. :.
 On the surface, all the discontent appears a bit misplaced. The back bone of Jones' club this year turned out to be sophomoreS. The reserve strength was sophomoric. In losing to the Irish, 1926, the first-year men gave promise of developing into a whale of ball club next season.
 Phelan Would Switch
 Grenville Lansdell perhaps was an even better quarterback than Schindler was at any time this fall. Bill Sangster and Bob Hoffman looked like world beaters. Harry Smith and John ThomasGin, guards, and Don McNeil. tackle. have per- formed like veterans all season. All they need &s experience.
 But unless U. 8. 0. slips by It's inter-city rival, Jones probably will get no further chance to develop

Supporters Rate
Tar Heels Among
First Ten Teams

Chapel Hill, Nov. 3O-There are
many Tar Heel supporters who con-
tend that, on the basis of the seasons
record, the 1887 University of North
Carolina football team should be rated
among the nations first 10 teams.
The last rating by Williamson, made
before the Thanksgiving game with
Virginia which the Tar Heels won 400
gave North Carolina seventh place in
the nation. But sratings by other Or
CARNATIONS were not quite so high.
Here are few facts that Tar Heel
supporters offer:
Fordnam beat NYU POT, Carolina
beat NYU 1916, Alabama beat Tulane
&c. Carolina beat Tulane 1870. Auburn
held Villanova and Tulane each to
scoreless ties and Carolina beat Tulane
1870. Vanderbilt, which beat SMU and
LSU, lost to Georgia Tech which was
beaten by Duke which was beaten by
Carolina. Carolina scored two touch
downs against Duke while Pitt scored
only one plus field goal but Pitt held
Duke scoreless. North Carolina beat
NYU 1916, NYU beat Carnegie Tech
1914, and Carnegie Tech, although
losing 25-14 was the only team to score
against Pitt twice.

EUROPE SCRAMBLES
FOR IRON SUPPLIES
Germany Particularly Hard
Pressed-Great Britain Also
Needs Ore for Armament.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August IA scram-
be for iron ore supplies Is one of the
most influential factors in present.
day European politics, according to
the weekly bulletin of the Berens
Financial News Bureau. Germany in
particular is hard pressed to secure
enough iron ore for its steel industry,
the analysis points out
How great is this difficulty is shown
by the fact that Germany has started
exploitation of mines with such low
grades ores that ordinarily never would
permit development. such ore mines
exist in Badenia, Franconia (the
northern part Of Bavaria) and at Salz-
glitter in Thurgina.
Great Britain is not much better of
than Germany with respect to iron ore
supplies. She needs an enormous sup
ply to maintain her armament and in
dustrlal boom. England was able to
contract for large quantities of highest
grade ore from Swedish mines. This
hit German steel manufacturers and
also Czechoslovakian, both of whom
were large customers for Swedish ore.
Germany has made contracts to get
ore from Austria, which has very ex-
tenSlve high grade ore mines in Else
nerz. Styria. Still. Great Britain seems
inclined to do everything possible to
help Germany get her needs in iron
ore, hoping thereby that Germany will
lift the pressure for return of her
former colonies. This idea also applies
to other raw materials badly needed by
Germany"

Commodity Price
Changes for Week
BY A. A. PATTON,
xsoriated prex& n stistirfa r

NEW YORK, August 14.-Commod-
ity prices declined for the ffth con-
secutive period this week, to within a
fraction of the years low, touched in
| mid-June.
The greatest weakness occurred in
those staples which recent Government
crop estimates showed to be facing a
larger harvest than expected.
The Associated Press weighted index
of IS important wholesale quotations
dropped to 1910 per cent of the 1925
average from 1895 a week ago and
compared with s0.46 last year.
There were l6 setbacks to six ad-
vances among the commodities making
up the index. The remainder were
unchanged.
Live stock prices pushed into new
high ground for the year, an upturn
in cattle outweighing a dip in hogs.
The rising trend in this group has
been setting new peaks regularly
during the last month. Improvement
stemmed principally from a strong de-
mand meeting a sharply curtailed
supply.
Cotton and Grains Sag.
Official crop estimates in cotton and
the grains sent quotations reeling. At
roughly 15,600000 bales, the Govern
ment cotton figure was 100000 bales
higher than traders looked for, and
the staple fell to around 1912 cents a
pound A month ago it was l3 cents.
Corn. wheat, oats and rye also gave
ground before wave of selling
touched off by crop forecasts
Live stock and grains have been
pursuing diverging paths for more than
month. During this period live stock
has been setting new highs and agri-
cultural staples new lows.
The easing industrial tempo was re-
flected in prices of those commodities
used by producers. Hides, rubber, tur-
pentine, lumber, antimony and tin
were down.
Textiles Move Down.
Trade quarters held that while man.
ufacturers' stocks of principal items
were not burdensome, they were suffi-
clent Tor the current declining rate OF
activity.
Textiles slipped, with dip in cotton
cloth offsetting a slight bulge in silk.
| Demand in the cotton cloth market has
been stagnant for weeks. the result
largely of overhanding inventories.
The rate of production was slashed
sharply this week, reflection Of the
inability of professors to move stocks,
in the opinion of most analysts.
The wholesale cost of food was lower
as heavily weighted flour, lard and
coffee receded. Eggs. sugar, cocoa and
butter were higher. although not
enough to offset the other three.
The index, with its components
based on 1925 as 100, compared as
