she? But surely he wouldn't write

damp lashes. Vernon is getting me

it's enough to begin to fight" She

War II.
There Is paradox in connection
with this shipping situation. As
good citizens. we are praying that
the sinking OF allied ships will be
stopped. but II so. this may create
surplus OF ships after the War.
Al the present time one new ship
is being launched for each two old
ones that are being sunk; but in
1912 about 100 new ships should
be launched every quarter. At an
average tonnage OF 10000 tons this
would mean about 1000. 900 new
tons per quarter. This is about the
rate at which the allied sinkinEs
are now taking place. These sink
ings. however, should materially be
cut down as airplane scouting is
further developed. As to sirplane
securities as an investment,
will write next week.

tation company which is being run
by management or group OF EN-

poor investment.
The same principle applies TO
other industries including manu-
featuring and banking. Conserva-
tive interests are today applaud

The general impression Is that
this increase will be 10 per cent.

World War II they will again

will they suffer from the general

opinion because OF the 1000 900

ganiLation and also because the
annual income OF most OF these
employees is rather low. This
last is due to the fact that the
railroad industry, fundamentally
Is running astern. As wages are
increased. freight rates must be

It's truly a vicious circle.

ing would be so large that wages
could be increased. the rates
could be reduced, and, at the same
time, railroad bonds would have

With The Boston College Eagles

Newton, Mass, oct. 15-Number among the bad breaks received by Boston college was a tumble in the first period on the Clemson four yard line. The ball was recovered by the visitors in their endzone, costing the Eagles a touchdown. Later on two accurate passes by Mickey Connolly went through the hands of receivers, and finally in the last period, an Eagle offside on the fourth down when Clemson was preparing to punt, set up Q Tiger touchdown.
 one Boston writer said: "Yester- days Boston college team was 100 per cent better than the one which lost to Tulane two weeks ago. A little luck and 1t might have won from Clemson. It was in there fight ing to the final whistle, did every- thing except outscore the opposi- tion."
 The left side of the Eagle from tier is all-sophomore now, with Furbush ct end: Gil Bonuley tackle. and Patsy Darone, guard. These three players are developing rapidly and the experience of both the Tulane and Clemson games Is sure to pay dividends in remaining tits.
 Mickey Connolly, Boston colleges ace passer, completed nine out of 20 passes against Clemson for a total gal nof l45 yards, and at least four of his accurate heaves dribbled of the fingers of potential receivers. Two of Connollys passes were for scores.
 Ted Williams, Boston colleges speedy right halfback, averaged seven yards try in eight rushes against Clemson last Saturday. The Gloucester lifeguard is the fastest Eagle and has been a standout in the games lost to Tulane and Clem- son.

Atherton Code Equalizes Coast Grid Power
Stanford's T
 Fails In First Test In Rain
BY HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Sports Editor

Oregon State stopping the Stan ford streak and Oregon belting Southern California for the first time since 1915 is something in the way of evidence that Pacific Coast football power Is equalized as 1t hasn't been since World War I.
 Northern schools have an idea that the Atherton code has acted as leveler and consequently helped that section.
 You may recall that the Pacific Coast Conference engaged Ed ward N. Atherton, a former G. man, to first investigate and then police its members.
 Commissioner Atherton last fall denied eligibility to group of atb- letes at colleges for which they were headed.
 He obviously has curbed rush. ing and inducements, and in the past 1t was quite plain that more than one California irsti- tution offered just a little more than their neighbors inN oregon and Washington.
 Washington and oregon State have been strong contenders since the round robin type of play went into effect on the Pacific slope five years ago.
