KNOXVILLE. Tenn, Dec. g.
Members of Tennessee's triumphant

to Edgewater Gulf Hotel, between
Biloxi and Gulfport, Miss, for the
finishing touches.
The date the squad-"We'll take

Although the major did not ad-

Hope Of Hoyas
Coost Come Chance Gone
As Sontu Clara BoIks
At Terms Offered

Only hope now for Georgetown's
football team, once defeated in three
years, playing a post-season game
appears to rest with the Orange
Bowl in Miami. The bottom dropped
out of the Hoyas' plans for a trip
to the West Coast to play Santa
Clara when it was announced last
night that that team had withdrawn
from the proposed Christmas Day
benefit tilt.
Georgetown already had agreed
to play the game and was preparing
to begin practice within a few days
but these plans went out when Sam
Dunno, athletic director of the coast
school. withdrew because of uncer-
tain financial arrangements by those
backing the game.
No Other Coast Bid Likely.
There apparently is no basis for
reports that another group was STEP
ping into the breach with money
for the game. Gabe Murphy, grad
uate manager of athletics for
Georgetown, said this morning that
he had heard nothing about it and
that it was "just pure conjecture on
some ones part-I don't know who
I'm afraid there's nothing to it.
'It's too bad. too" Murphy said
because these Georgetown boys GER
tainly deserve some sort of good
trip. I certainly wish We could do
something about it,"
He said that Georgetown officials
had not yet given up hope, although
he admitted they had received no
"feelers" from the Orange Bowl
Committee in Miami. He indicated

Heavier SCORING
Brings Thrills
ToGriid Fans
Big Increase Shown
Over 1899; Pace Set
By Southwest Loop
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR.
Associated Press Sports Writer.


NEW YORK. Dec. 3.-The ma
tons football players and fans had
more fun during the 1910 season
than they did the year before.
There was more scoring. And
there's no denying the fact that
touchdownS are what make the
fans whoop and the players grin.
The increase is revealed in the
18th annual Associated Press sur
vey of gridiron scoring statistics,
which also shows some surprising
variations IN tie average number
of points a game in the six major
sectors of the football map.
Total Points Decrease.
Taken as whole, the 269 teams
covered in the survey averaged
1888 points a game. That's a
notable jump from last season S
average of 1906 and is getting up
toward the 1883 average OF the
1888 season. Two years ago, the
scoring average was the highest
since the banner year OF 1881.
In contrast to this increase, the
average total points for each team
throughout the season showed
decline from 1928 last year and
1l4.36 in 1888 to llO.7l during the
past season. Apparently the teams
generally played fewer games and
got more action into them.
Another sharp contrast separates
the sections, three of them showing
big increases and the other three
showing equally large declines. And
the trends were general within the
districts. While each had teams
that stood out because of exceptional
power and an equally exceptional
lack of it. there weren't enough to
overbalance the rest.
The Southwest, long noted for Its
free games again, returned
to the top of the list, with the South
and Middle West not far behind.
The Rocky Mountain district, 1889
scoring leader, dropped to the bottom
of the list in 1910. with the East and
Pacific Coast sectors also producing
fewer scores
The nine teams considered in the
Southwest played IS games and
scored 1854 points. That gave them
an average of 1904 points team
and 1893 points a game.
The South. paced by the mighty
Tennessee outfit which piled up 319
points in winning its 10 games.
averaged 1888 points game and
143 points each for 81 teams. In the
Midwest, 54 teams averaged 14.94
points a game, jumping from l2.47
in 1899.

NEWEST TECHNIQUE

new contribution Of science TO
increase production is the utilization
of gum perforators with acidiza-
ton in lime fields. Saturated zones
in the lime are shot with gun
pertorators. the steel-nosed bullets
penetrating into the Oil-bearing
limestone for several feet in all di-
rections. The channels and crevices
created by the bullets affect the
permeability factor by connecting
separated pore spaces and giving
increased outlet to the bore. Acid
treatment following gun perforation
has given excellent results in in
oreasing potentials and rates OF re-
covery on a high percentage OF wells
to which this technique has been
applied in the Permian basin.
Gun perforation service is not
available in Montana and 1t is thus
very expensive. 1t was tried out
at Del Bonita but the expense was
said to be too great TO recommend
Il for general use.
