Pitt Freshmen Await

BY the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH Nov. 16-Members
of the University of Pittsburgh S
freshman football squad were as
sured today a misunderstanding re-
garding tuition fees would be
threshed out satisfactorily"
The players reported for practice
as usual after John Weber, the uni

promised he would investigate and
that he hoped to find suitable
solution at conference after the
Thanksgiving recess
Weber said a group of athletes
one a basket ball player and the
others football men. came to him
yesterday and told of receiving tut
ton bills for the first semester
amounting to $3.50.
They thought they possessed ath-
letic scholarships which took care OF
their tuition. Under the new ath-
letic code at Pitt there are no ath-
letic scholarships, Weber said.
Some of the athletes. he continued
talked about quitting school, but !
advised returning to their classes and
continuing at sports. believe
the entire matter will be threshed
out satisfactorily.
Spokesmen for the athletes said
they had signed notes for the tuition
but were under the impression the
signing was a technicality and that
the athletic department would not
press for payment. The bills were
sent to their homes last week, they
added.
Sophomore athletes do not pay
tuition because they received ath-
letic scholarships before the present
code became effective last February

Known Defeat Since
High School Days
By BURTON HAWKINS.

Amid the blaring of bands, flag
waving. stirring speeches and gen.
eral unrestrained glee concurrent
with Georgetown's anticipated un-
defeated football season, Bob Ker-
cher, crack Hoya end, refuses to
become excited. Kercher. in fact, is
sitting a few yawns as Georgetown
approaches it's final barrier, the
manned Maryland outfit, Saturday at
College Park.
Georgetown will be striving for its
first unblemished record in 81 years
of football, but the 19O-pound Ker-
cher has learned to take such things
in stride. Perhaps he is the four-leaf
clover in the Hilltop lineup, for
Kercher never has known anything
but undefeated. united seasons.
Should the Hoyas realize their
fond ambition, and they are prohibi-
tive favorites to snatch that mo-
ment Of glory, Kercher will have
played on his sixth straight unde-
feated and united team. For three
years with Evansville 1nd) Me-
mortal High. another with Scar
borough Prep and still another with
Georgetown freshman eleven, Ker-
cher has known oily victory, and
that amazing string of successes may
be significant.

thus the backfield burden will fall

That Georgetown normally has
little to fear in the department of

The Hoyas admittedly we're weak
in that phase of play early in the
season but have improved per-

start a definite rotation" is the
advice which +. z. Blair, State
college extension agronomist, IS
giving North Carolina farmers as
they start the new year.
If such plan is not possible,
the grower should take stock OF
every field, decide what is to be
planted on it, what fertilizer is to
be used, and then make arrange
ments to get his seed and fertil-
izer at once, Blair said.
In preparing for the coming
growing season, Piedmont farm
erS should run THEN plows every
day that weather and the condi-
ton Of the soil permit. On many
soils in this section, it is impera-
tive to turn under clovers and
lespedcza early. This is necessary
in order to prevent damage to
corn crops from bud worms and
to be able to prepare a good seed
bed.
All Quiet lIi!uS IOI StO"lllS a
winter crop should be turned IN
January if not plowed in Decem-
Der. Once plowed and left rough,
winter will do the necessary har-
rowing, Bla irsaid.
Spring oats sowcd at any time
during the current month will
make d better crop than oats
sowed in March or April, the
agronomiSt explained.
Coastal plain growers should
finish turning under all corn
stalks, cotton stalks, tobacco
stalks, soybcans. cowpeas, velvet
bean vines, or any other crop
residue from 1887.
Blair pointed out that the
plant food in this material cam
not be utilized in 1888 unless it
is disced into the soil in time to
fully decay before spring. Get
ting rid of the stalks this way
also makes it easier to cultivate
crops next summer.
