Fiillerton Jr. (Associated Press Sporta Writer) I NEW YORK. Dec. 10- (P) Although jthe season's records of the Army and jNavy football teams seem to give the (Cadets a big margin over traditional ; rivals, there Is every Indication as Jtho gome draws nearer that the char ity contest will be as close as Army jNavy games usually are. ; In ten games each has played so far. Army's record shows seven vic tories and one tie against two de j feats and only one of the two was i bad beating. Navy lost two games by 30-0 scores and two by oloser mar gins while winning and tying one. Navy showed few signs of real strength until Its last three gomes land then Improved steadily. In the Pennsylvania game last week. "Bul jlet Lou" Kirn, the Midshipmen's (chief offensive threat who had been hampered by Injuries, came back In better form than ever before. Then Sam Moncure, new quarterback, got a "punch" Into the Navy that his ipredecessors had not been able to uncover. - . . 'r. Against this and Navy's strong de fense.

And as indication of Army's all-around strength, four Cadet players were mentioned in selecting the Associated Press All-American team this year. Preparations for the game were Just about completed. , Both teams will arrivo In New York about noon Sat urday In time for their parade Into the Yankee Stadium. undertake the drive, and Mr. Nelson suggested It should be carried on by representatives- from men's and women's clubs who would form an Independent civic body. The legion committee decided they would be willing to assume the re sponsibility of heading the commit tee to arrange for raising the funds with the co-operation of the other organization!. 1'lnn Is Approved The plan outlined at the meeting Major P. B. Fleming, Army's gradur j met with the approval of the bands - a to manager of athletics, estimated that every seat would be sold, assur ing a "gate' of $400,000.

There was practically no change in the egg market situation for the day insofar as the local price Is concerned. Values show a spread, of a couple of cents but there is some difference in quality. After a long period of Inactivity, the price of cheese has been cut 1c lb., effective at once. The new price at Tillamook is 16c for triplets to Jobbers and 17c for' loaf. The Port land price) to retailers is 18c for trip lets and 19c for load in box lots. Entire live chicken trade remains slow along the wholesale way with no further general price change. Light hens of uncertain quality" are very weak as ore roasting fowls. Ducks and geese continue nominally quoted. Recent spurt of selling of onions at Willamette valley points as a result of the advance in the buying price to $3, sacks end twine, appears to have subsided with more or lees tighter holding by growers. Portland is now the highest market in the United States at the moment. First arrival of Florida oranges of the season was reported. The stock of very good quality ranges 200s and smaller.

Occupants of the leading car selected a telephone pole and cars stopped. Ropes were tossed over either side of the cross arm and a group of men grasped the ends. Nonces were quick ly fasnloned and at a signal the group pullod Jackson and Banks up toward the cross arms. At another signal dceens of the men produced guns and their grim work was completed.
