TELEGRAPH Killinger Regular Bearcat at Penn State; Soccer Gets Attentioi) State College, Pa., Dpc. 13.—Next ! week will be a busy one for the bas- I ketball and soccer teams at Penn j State. "Dutch" Hermann's basket ball tossers will open their season here on Friday night with the Ju niata College five, and the soccerites will leave on Tuesday or Wednesday 1 for their annual eastern trip, moet j :ng Lehigh, Swarthmore and Penn on successive dates. This is one of I the hardest trip schedules ever ar ' ranged lor a State soccer team, but ; the playing aggregation this year is ! also the strongest combination that j ever wore the Blue and White, and they expect to put up a hard light ■to win all of these games. Lehigh i has gone down before the State team | once before this season, being de j feated here on Pennsylvania Day by j a 6 to 0 score. Things have been more active. | than ever in the basketball cage dur j ing the past week. One of the fea • j tares has been the all-around play of Captain Frank Wolfe, who has dc- I'veloped into one of the best running j guards seen here for some time. The | speed and accuracy with which Kll j linger, who looks as though ho ! would be Wolfe's running-ma'.a at guard, makes his passes, has been I the talk of the basketball fans dur ; ing practice for the past two weeks. J Killinger reported for practice im ! mediately after the football season ' closed, and is back in his old bas i ketball form, better than ever be | fore. Replogle looks good for the ! center job, and Wagner, Mullan and I Young will fight for the forward po sitions.

Never before have there I been such startling reverses In form |in Eastern football, and never have apparently good elevens, been so un , dependable in execution," says the New York Times. "Form and calculation meant noth ing during the season just ended. A i team would show championship form one Saturday and on the next Saturday would fall before a hitherto unsuccessful opponent. "Perhaps never bfeore in the his tory of Eastern college football have the so-called big elevens been so ruthlessly pushed into the back ground as during the season just ended. Where once the colors and the battle cries of Harvard. Yale, Princeton, Pennsylvania, and Cor nell reigned supreme, the flashing hues of Syracuse, Colgate, Dart mouth, Penn State or West Virginia commanded attention and respect. Eastern Elevens. Among the Eastern elevens is would be futile, and , unfair to at tempt to place any one team above all the rest. There was no outstand ing football machine the superior ity of which was unquestioned. The only teams in the East which were undefeated were Harvard and Stev ens. Harvard played a tie game with Princeton. The Crimson sched ule included few strong elevens, while the strongest teams on the un defeated Stevens eleven Were Colum bia and New York University. So there is little prestige attached to the fact that these two teams were undefeated.

Fuel Restrictions Are Lifted at Pittsburgh By Associated Press Pittsburgh, Dec. 13.—Fuel restric tions oil light, heat and power in Pittsburgh were lifted to-day by the Pittsburgh committee of the United States Railroud Administra tion, acting upon instructions from Walker D. Hines, Director General of Railroads. Light and elevator service In of fice buildings may be resumed to day as usual, aiul retail stores may remain open to-night if it is de sired. Restrictions in the use of coke were removed also. Although operators predicted that coal production In tne Pittsburgh district would show a gain to-day over yesterday's output, they said normal production could not be ex pected before early next week. There was no great increase in the number of union miners returning to work to-day over that of yester day as the men regard the 13th as a "hoodoo" day. It is estimated from 8.000 to 10,000 men returned to work yesterday. Mr . Powell, Who Tried Suicide After Killing Daughter, Recovering Philadelphia. Dec. 13.—Such prog ress has been noted in the recovery of Mrs. Emily Lippineott Powell, of Denver, Colo., who killed her 10- year-old daughter. Jacqueline, and then attempted suicide that her chief physician Buys she will recover. Mrs. Powell is able to talk freely, but does not seem to remember the slightest thing about the killing of her daughter and attempted suicide. District Attorney William E. Foley has definitely agreed not to file a charge of murder against Mrs. Powell. He will permit the broth ers to take lunacy proceedings. Mine Closed Because It Can't Pay New Scale Decatur, 111., Dec. 13.—Miners re porting at the Moweaqua mine near here were Informed that there would be no work until mine operators are permitted to charge higher prices for I coal. i 1 standards usually followed in the ; past is out of the question, for there I are too many arguments which (might be brought forth to refute the : claims of any one eleven which might try to set itself up on the pedestal of a mythical champion i ship. A Hopeless Complication. j "At various times during the sea- I son there were groups of teams which seemed to stand out over their I opponents. Such superiority, how ; ever, was only temporary, and be- j i fore the season was half over the i football situation became a hope ! less complication of unexpected ! victories and defeats, j "In this season of surprises and ( ; disappointments The New York Times divides the elevens into groups, . and the difference between these j various groups in some cases is so 1 ' slight that it can hardly be said j | that this or that eleven was better i than any one of eight or ten others.

ENABLE PLANTS TO RESUME FULL TIME [Continued from First Page.] ccmplished more gradually. It is probable, however, the early part' of the coming week will see heat and j light conditions on a normal basis in Chicago and other western cities, i j where the pinch has been worst. To lirsterr Trains Instructions were also given to the , regional directors to restore all train service as rapidly as the coal situa- | tion in their region would Justify it. : A number of the trains discontinued j have already been replaced on ached- ' ules and prospects are that railroads will be running normal early next week. Iliiios* Statement Director General Hines' statement on modifications of the conservation , oiders said: "The conservation order of De- i cember 8. 1919, restricting the use' of heat, light and power generated or produced from bituminous coal or coke was issued to make uniform in i all parts of the country the restrlc- | tions wliich had already been adopt- I ed in many parts of the country and ' to snve coal and coke. Until the pro duction of bituminous coal becomes normal, It is vitally necessary that j it be conserved in every way possible and even after production reaches normal. It will Jho necessary to con- I tinue to conserve coal because of the | loss In production of between thirty and thirty-five million tons during I the coal strike. It is Important, therefore, that the public exercise the greatest cautions in the con-1 sumption of coal. It being the desire to remove' restrictions just as rapidly as pos- j slhle, the conservation order of De- ! cember 8 has been modified to-day to permit the resumtion as conditions warrant of the supplying of light, I heat and power restricted by this order. Coal is now being moved and will continue io be moved from the east to the west In large quantities ! as the relative situation In the two I sections permits. The first increase I in production that has resulted from ! the termination of the strike of the coal miners has been In the east I where already the bulk of the pro duction wns being obtained. Condi tions in the several regions differ and accordingly the order of Decem ber 8 will be modified on recommen dation of the reglonnl directors as their respective situations may per mit. "Reglonnl directors have been in-' structed to-day to restore all train! service removed or curtailed because ; of the strike situation as soon as 1 the general conl supply In their re- ' spective regions Justifies in their judgment doing so. subject to such ! exceptions as may he ordered by the railroad administration in Wash ington." Desp'te Dissatisfaction, Officials Expec': Return to Normal Production' I By Associated Press Chicago, Dec. 13.—Partial relnxa- * tlon of the rigid restrictions on fuel, | optimistic reports regarding re- ' sumption of production In virtually! all fields, and substantial restoration! of passenger train service In many i sections to-day brought to the pub- j lie the greatest measure of relief • since the coal situation became j arute. At some mines, workers still i expressed dissatisfaction w'th the ' terms of President Wilson's pro- j posnl. which led to ending the strike \ officially, and Central Pennsylvania operators also were displeased, but officials regarded Indications as toward a .return to nearly DECEMBER 13, 1919.
