Close Contest Expected!

(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

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. - . .

indication of Army's all-around
strength, four Cadet players were
mentioned in selecting the Associated

Preparations for the game were Just

No. 2 while the country station in
general is off 2c at 27c for sour and
29c for sweet.
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. Priced 95 case. ...
Very heavy Bupplles of poor cauli
flower are wrecking not only the lo
cal demand, but. the price. Much of
this stock will probably be dumped.
Real quality is scarce and inclined to
hold fairly well -in price. t
Unusually heavy call for hothouse
tomatoes and especially local offer
ings are reported. Sales are reported
to $2 for 10s. extra fancy. Outdoor
California tomatoes very slow.
Notes of wholesale trading:
Veal market Is sick with general
trading not above a dime.
Country killed hog market Is fairly
active around Ift'lfac for top block
ers. ,
Lambs are In fair call with tops 9?
10c but mutton is active 4$5c.
Potato market Is quiet but primary
points continue to ask full prices.
Field sweet potato season is about
over and holiday offerings will be
from cellars to cost more money.
Oranges are showing strength in
the south with some advances there.
Catches of Columbia river smelt
too, limited to quote.

At another signal dceens of the
