HOUSTON, Tex, Dec. 3.-Ernie
Lain and Ole Cordill found them
selves and each other today In the
last game of the Southwest Confer
ence season and led Rice Institute
to a 25-14 upset victory over South
ern Methodist University, league
runners-up to Texas Christian.
The pressure was oil in this game,
which meant practically nothing in
the final conference standings, and
Lain heaved two touchdown passes
to Cordill. Cordill scored q third
and E. Y. Steakley, a senior speed
merchant, snagged another of Lain's
passes for the fourth touchdown.
Lain pitched and Cordill caught
for much of the Rice yardage.
Rice showed the potential powe,
the critics gave it before the season
opened, marching "a yards for its
first touchdown. Cordill smashed
over from the 2-yard line.
Southern Methodist put the ball
in play on its own 20, showed 1t
down to the Rice 80 as the first pc
riod ended and on the fourth play
of the second period, Gerald Geise
threw a mighty pass from the Rice
IS to Billy Dewell, sub end, who
snagged the ball In an almost i'm
possible catch and fell over the goal
line.
Rice took the kickoff, ran it back
to its own 20 and by passing and
ramming the line, worked it down
to the S. M. U. 20, where Lain
pitched perfect pass to Cordill,
who scampered over for Rice's Sec
ond marker.
The Mustangs took q 14-15 half
time lead on a long drive climaxed
by Ray Mallouf's touchdown pass
to Robert Baccus.
In the final period Rice inter-
cepted two of Johnny Clements
passes to pave the way for two
touchdowns.
Bryce Parker intercepted the first
on the S. M. U. 43 and sped .own
to the IA. Two plays later Lain
shot pass to Cordill in the end
zone for the touchdown.
Late in the final period Cordill
intercepted another Clement pass
and ran it from the so to the S. M.
U. rs. Schuehle streaked for q first
down on the 8, and Lain heaved a
pass to Steakley in the end zone for

Of the Big Six, crushed Washing
ton States Cougars, % to o., here
today with q last-hah surge that
carried them to the end Of an all
victorious season and ran their VIC
tory string to IA in a row.
A crowd of $4,000 watched the
Sooners score three touchdowns In
the third period after drilling deep
into enemy territory time after
time without finding the double
stripe in the first half. --s
BY handing the Cougars their
worst beating of the season, the
Sooners wrote the final figures into
a seasons record of 10 wins to car
ry against undefeated Tennessee
in the Orange Bowl at Miami, Fla,

Mccullough Sparkles.
Hugh Mccullough, playing his last
game on his home field, scored two
touchdowns, and Bob Seymour,
hard-running halfback, the other
in the third-period splurge. 81
The wind helped the Sooners on
their first scoring thrust. McCul-
Tough punted over the goal line
and penalty left the Cougars on
their own 3-yard line. Dick Emer-
son punted from deep in the end
zone and the strong wind carried
the ball out at the S. =
Three plays later Mccullough
plowed over from the l-yard line
and Raphael Boudreau rushed in
and kicked the extra point.
Starting on the Cougar 46, after
the following kickoff and an ex-
change Of punts, the Sooners drove
straight to another touchdown.
Seymour crashed of tackle for tf1e
counter after Gene Corrotto had
rammed to the 3.
The third touchdown came at the
end of a 33-yard drive, featuring a
12-yard pass from Mccullough to
Earl Crowder and a 19-yard dash
by Seymour. Mccullough rammed
over from the 4-yard line.
Sooner Reserves Score. .
Sooner third and fourth stringers
took over in the fourth. Beryl Clark
passed from the 24-yard line over
the line of scrimmage to Johnny
Martin, sophomore halfback, at the
end of 58-yard march and Martin
dashed across the goal line.
The same Cougar team that held
Southern California to 1877 score
was helpless against the powerful
Sooners.. The only first down it
made was in the air against the
Sooner reserves. 1t gained 26 yards
on the ground, but lost 20. 80.
The only sad note for the Sooners
was the loss of Bill Jennings, sopho-

HOsU Much Does PolCer
Cost?


The political high cost of cleo
tricity1 myth is shattered by cold
statistics. The power industry's rec
ord in reducing costs to the public
in the face Of rising costs for every
thing it must buy is certainly not
exeelIed. in the annals OF industry.
In December. 1913, the average
home owner used 264 kilowatt hours
of current each year, and paid s22.97
for 1t. In 1928. he used 1868 kilowatt
hours, at a most of $2s.5O. In 1888.
he used sos kilowatt hours. for
$32.56. Ond in 1897. he paid $34.S1
for 1893 kilowatt hours. In other
words. in that year, he paid an cleo
trio bill that was about SO per cent
greater than his 1913 bill-7and got
in return over 200 per cent more
electricity.
Putting 1t another way. the 1887
cost OF living, gased on U. S. Blu
reau Of Labor Statistics figures. was
nearly so per cent greater than In
1918. Yet the cost Of residential
service was almost so per
cent less!
To make still another comparison,
the total paid by, the American DeO-
pie for all their home electric SER
vice Is little more than they paid the
Federal government in taxes on liq-
nor alonel And the taxes paid on
both liquor and tobacco amount to
about S400.O00,O0O a year more than.
we pay for all home electric service,
on the basis of 1887 totals.
These are facts-you can verify
them for yourself. They make the

WITHOUT POLITICS

Hugh M. Foster writing in the
advertisers journal, printers Ink,
discusses the astounding results of Il
memorable meeting held early in
1896 between representatives of the
National Cooperative Council and
the National Association of Food
Chains. The National Cooperative
Council is an association of 81 agri-
cultural cooperative organizations.
whose membership totals about l.
100000 farmers, while the National
Association of Food Chains repre-
sents the bulk of the food chain in
dustry.
The meeting between these two
powerful groups in 1886 initiated the
producer-consume campaigns which
overnight became a national move
ment, later Joined in by organized
independent food distributors. 1t
was a movement that brought prompt
aid to farmers suffering from crop
surpluses and glutted markets. For
example, when producers of speci-
fic farm commodity are faced with
these evils, they now turn to the or
ganized retail distributors who i'm
mediately launch a unified nation
wide campaign to boost consumption.
To date such campaigns have been
unbelievably successful and promise
TO be even more so in the future.
As Mr.. Foster observes: These
campaigns have demonstrated that
farm relief can be practical. They
have solved the agricultural prob
lem by taking the farmer ont OF
politics and showing him business
methods in operation.
Despite the tongue-Iashings OF
politicians. organized retail stores
have made tremendous contributions
% the general welfare, and are con-
tinuine TO do so. And agriculture
has been one OF the greatest bench
ciaTies.

Relentless War Against
Dishonesty

An editorial in the Prescott, Ari-
zona, Courier, recently observed that
for $50 years the New York Stock
Exchange has guarded zealously its
integrity, beginning with that small
group of stockholders who, shortly
after the American Revolution,
bought and sold securities under the
old buttonwOod tree in lower Wall
Street and who laid the moral foun-
dation embodied in the constitution
of the Exchange"
1t is probable that there is no in
stitution or industry in this coun-
try which goes to greater trouble
and expense to assure tho public
square deal" than the stock ex-
change. And, as the statistics show,
this work has come amazingly close
to the ideal of 100 per cent effec-
tiveness. During the three years end
ing in 1887, not a single brokerage
house connected with the Exchange
failed-in spite of the fact that gem
eral business and bank failures
during a part of that time were at
high levels. And when

age house has violated the cOde. es-

Public AWGreReSs

Public awareness of the need for
safe driving was given by the Ma
tional Safety Council as the probable
reason for the marked decline in
traffic fatalities that has occurred
since November, 1897. The Council
gives the press of the nation a large
measure of credit for creating this
"awareness."
Newspapers and magazines have
Joined whole-heartedly in the efforts
of public safety agencies and organ
izatiOns such as the American Leg
ion and Parent-Teacher groups, to
cut down highway slaughter. Tales
of gore and horror. of mangled bod
les and broken homes have con-
frOnted the potential drunken and
reckless driver at every turn. APP
parently these messages from the
dead" have had the desired effect.
In addition to this form of "educa-
ton" automobiles and highways
have been made safer from an enSi-
neering standpoint. better laws have
been adopted and enforcement has
been more rigid.
If the present downward trend of
automobile fatalities continues. (
those who have died in automobile
accidents will not have died entirely I
in vain. Their sacrifice will have
served toward putting an end to
needless slaughter of human life on
the highway. But, in the months and

A Liberal Recovery
Program

Oswald Garrison Willard, former
editor of The Nation and one Of Am
erica's most distinguished liberals,
has made a number of specific sug-
gestions that he believes this govern
ment must follow n the depression
is to be ended. Chief among his pro-
posals are: A suspension of "re-
forms" in order that business may
know where II stands and not be
continually battered from pillar to
post by unstable policies; the estab-
lishment OF a fixed and definite pol
icy toward the public utilities, so
that this great industry may un-
leash the billions in spending power
that have been damned up because
of fear of confiscation and unmeet-
able government competition; tax
and the assurance that
there will be no more tax
so long as the present Ad-
remains in power.
There can be hardly any question
OF the results of suchm a program.
The doubts that have been so great
ly responsible for the slackening of
Industrial expansion would be large
ly dispelled. Business and industry
would feel a new surge Of conf
ienee that would be Immediately re-
ieeted in unemployment. The inves-
tor. driven into financial hiding by
Well-justified fears Of mad tax poll
,ies and a vacillating general policy
