By his kicking in Saturday's game Hah continuously drove Illinois back from his own school's goal and kept the downstate men from opportunities even to .tie the swre rasile early in the s^une <by-Northwefrte^ ■ 0 *»tos*> Given fH%% m* **4- Fifteen men were given "NVV sad Fish was the oniy reguW who wsa not included. ^ Coach Hammett that nlgnt, in explaining why the guard had been omitted, said Umt it bad been rantered, and report of this had beeu made .to Ihe executive committee of the ath- letic association, that Fish had broken training at various Umes dttrius; the football season. ■ • Players Put on Honor. " Northwestern, like aU the members of the Western lntercoHegiats Confer- ence association, has no foothlatt train- tag table, but all the men are put on honor to observe certain regulations regarding retiring hours, the use of tobacco, and other restrictions, while they lure football candidates. Fish is a senior' in the law school and has been going out to Evanston every day during the season to prac- tice. This was his first year on the. team and his punting was the chief factor of Northwestern's defense. The fifteen men who received, the "N" are: Johnson, Cruse, Butler, Cole, High- tower, Lamke, Wells, Springer, Bob- bins, McPheeters, Reed, Siegel, Kraft, Gruhn and Wooden. Wooden's "IT* was honorary, because of bis consist- ent work as a substitute. Second team insignia were awarded to Warren, Warrick, Zondlemann, Cunningham, Bound, Denton, Mbrtenson, Babbitt, Sterchi, Baits and Whittle. PATTEN, IN NEW YORK, APPEARS OPTIMISTIC James A. Fatten, who arrived In New York Thursday from Chicago, said: "My opinion is that we are now approaching a cycle of low prices and that for a period of some years to come the values of products will be at a level materially under recently pre- vailing prices. This opinion is based on the increase In farm acreage all over the world. Provided we have nor- mal weather conditions in the next few years, we will have a supply of food products far more than enough to meet consumptive requirements. "It la pact to be expected, however, that the decrease In market values of grain will be at once resected In the coat of beef and pork. The fanner has gone Out of the raising of Hve stock on account of the high price of grain. It will lake three years of cattle breeding to bring back the sup- ply of live stock to its old volume. The outlook for cheaper pork Is even favorable than for cheaper beef. "There is little doubt but that in- In r sJBwsy ratea wiR be found seeesstty because, of the
