Trojan Reserve Power Looms
As Big Menace to Alabama

cruising as the one Southern Cali
fornia waded through. This is open
to question of course, but looking
at the 1915 opponents of both Bama
and Troy an unbiased observer
would have to say Frank Thomas
boys never were really tested by
anybody, and although Cravath,s
team was knocked over three times
with two defeats coming on success
sive week ends, still the final three
games of their schedule showed such
decided week-to-week Improvement
as to warrant the feeling that not
only have the men of Troy not vet
played their best game but having
everything to gain and nothing to
lose, they could reach their offensive
and defensive heights on New Year
Day in a manner which at least
will assure each player of giving all
he has all the time he's in there.
Then on the point of reserves it
would seem Alabama is not as
strong in this department as South
ern California. Furthermore, the
Trojans have a weight advantage
OF at least 10 to Is pounds per man
in all positions except center, and
additionally, the Trojans will have
more of them. This being so, maybe
q repetition of the st. Mary's- UCLA
wearing-down process might even
tuate with the side having the
greater reserve strength and the
ability to throw In more power
constantly, deserving to acquire a
more serious and threatening de-
gree Of prominence than the COM
parative won and lost records would
suggest.
Everybody has seen Harry Gill

All the local newspaper reporters
write about his work in the longest
and most convincing superlatives
Chances are he will fool the Trojan
defenders repeatedly by those losses
which seem only to be floating, unit
almost upon you then sail right ovei

one writer put it. This being so Il

NO FUNDS FOR
ROAD PROGRAM
Legislature Defeats Motion
to Appropriate Needed
Funds For Work
REPAIR FUNDS ONLY

Very little highway work is ex-
pected to be undertaken in Della
ware during the next two years as
result of the failure of the Legis-
lature to provide the funds requir-
ed for proposed improvements it
was learned at the State Highway
Department at Dover. 1t now ap-
pears almost certain that the high
way department will be unable to
take advantage of two federal
grants, totaling S8,762,000, which
would otherwise have come to Del
aware for highway work. One of
these grants, amounting to ST.
$1,000, is now available and must
be used within year following
the end of the war while the other,
totalingn $1,000, 900, must be used
over three-year period following
the end of the war. Since these
federal agents must be matched
with state funds, it was planned to
use the funds provided by the bond
issue to formulate a highway pro-
gram totaling S10,OOO0,OO0 for the
postwar years. In addition to new
construction projects this program
would have included resurfacing
and widening work of existing
highways in almost every section
of the state and covering total
of almost 200 miles of highways.
While there was no comment
Forthcoming from any of the Off
cials of the department concerning
the legislative action in defeating
a measure providing a bond issue
of $5,000,00O for highway work, it
was previously known that the de-
partment was counting upon these
funds being provided to finance
its program of postwar work. The
best possible estimates placed on
highway funds indicate that there
will be about million dollars
available for the department dur
ing the next two fiscal years but it
was also indicated that repair and
replacement work needed on the
existing highways will require
much of these funds.

EDDIE BURRIs RECOVERING
Wounded After Being in Combat
Two Months, Now in Hospital

Pvt. Eddie G. Burris, Jr., who, in
last weeks issue of The Times, was
reported injured in action some
where in Germany has written his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. E. G. Burris,
Sr., that he is recovering from his

Pvt. Burris received shrapnel
wounds in his hip, after being in
combat only two months. In let
