i
The football committee of the
State High School league met here
at noon Saturday. The members of
this committee are: J. D. Fulp, chairman;
T. L. Hanna, Anderson, and
L. L. Wright, Honea Path, all of 1
whom were present. The meeting 1
was called to hear protests of Hastoc
and Gaffney against the games the '
teams of these schools recently lost
to Spartanburg high school.
The protests were made cfn the ;
grounds' that the Spartanburg high ]
school had not filed with the chairman
of the football committee a list
of players eligible in the high school. '
league. After four hours of discus- 1
sion, a compromise was effect- ^
ed between Gaffney and Spartanburg
and the representatives of these '
schools signed their acceptance of
the following rules:.
"The committee rules that Spar- J
tanburg high school and Gaffney ^
high school play three more games ^
with schools, members of the league,
and if both teams win each of the
three games then Spartanburg and
Gaffney shall play a game on neutral
ground. The winner of this game *
will enter the upstate finals."
This was accepted by W. C. Taylor,
superintendent of Gaffney city
schools, and L. "W. Jenkins, principal
of Spartanburg high school.
In the matter of the Hastoc protest
Hugh Shockley, principal of the
Hastoc school, withdrew his protest
of the Spartanburg game in view of
the magnanimous action of the Spartanburg
high school student body ?
Saturday when they unanimously
voted to disclaim the viatory of this
game. Mr. Jenkins of the Spartanburg
school, in the presence of the
committee, officially confirmed to Mr
Shockley the action of the student
body.
The football committee then took

written reports, which have been unofficially
given them relative to alleged
"ringers" said to be playing
on the Chester and Rock Hill high
school teams. The chairman of the
committee was instructed 'to write
the superintendents of these two
schools to make every effort to officially
clear themselves of the notoriety
which th^se schools are gaining by
the circulation of these reports in
the public press of the upstate.
The committee deplores the ill
feeling which is being brought about
among the high school football teams
and predicts the disruption of the
high school league, unless superintendents
and principals of the schools
take direct charge and assume, absolute
control of athletics in their
schools.

MAIN FEATURE IN FOREIGN
POLICY, SAYS BONAR LAW.
NEW BRITISH PREMIER PAYS
HIS RESPECTS TO MR. LLOYD
GEORGE.
Leeds, Eng., Nov. 5.?Additional
details of the New British government's
policy of "tranquility" were
given by Prime Minister Bonar Law
in an address before an audience
of 3,000 persons here yesterday.
While the main part of his speech
was concerned with domestic politics
and policies, he took occasion to reiterate
emphatically that the AngloIrish
treaty would be given a fair
trial and that the root of his foreign
policy would be to work with France
and Italy.
Mr. Bonar Law said he had been
bombarded with queries as to whether
the British would leave Mesopotamia
and Palestine.
"All I can say is that we shall
jxamine the matter very carefully,"
be declared, "but we can not with
?ur record as a nation, consider
x> what extent we are bound by obigations."
Referring to the League of Na
;ions he said it had worked under
jreat difficulties, but had not done
10 badly and that his government
vould certainly try to give it scope
:or more effective action. He added
;hat he had declared in a previous
iddress that the British navy must
>e kept intact, but that he believed
;he whole center of gravity was
;hanging the matter of national .defense,
and was being transferred
From the sea to the air.
THE ASTOR MILLIONS
GOING TO ENGLAND
(
Major Astor Making Large Invest*
ments in That Country?Property
Worth Millions.
LondJ>n, Nov. ' 4.?The remark
made yesterday by Major General
Astor who said, am transferring
my wealth fjj>m America to this
country," was treated as a big item
of newg in this morning's papers.
One headline read.
"Aster Millions Coming Here'"
By som? it was assumed that the
major, who is a brother of Viscount
Astor, merely refered to his investment
in Ii^yd Northcliffe's share
of the London Times stock, which
he and J. A. Walter purchased flor
more than $6,000,000, but others
gave the remark a more sensational
tum
(Major Astor, who is contesting
for a seat from Dover in the coming
elections made the statement in reply
to a heckler who inquired wheth
or he was going to expose his own
wealth to British taxation.
Property Worth Millions.
New York, Nov. 4.?There was
much speculation in New York tp
day over the' reported announcement
in London by Mapr the Honorable
John Jachjoflb Astor, that he
was transferring his wealth to England.
The reality and personal holdings
of the late Baron (William
Waldorf Ast% in the United States
totalled more than $80,000,000 according
tp a referee's report lied
last March in supreme court. Of the
vast fortune in -which Major Astjor
participated with Viscount Astor
his elder brother, $50,000,000 is re
presented in realty. Property was
conveyed to the two sons in trust to
1919 and the income is placed at
SIS 9Q1 9fifl Tn nrMi+il-w* Mainv As
tor was given outright by his father
Manhattn realty valued at more
time $7,00f),000
Several pieces of New Yprk prop
erty have been sold by Major Astor
in th? past few years but its is considered
unlikely he will dispose of
all real estato in thjs country will
transform his income or personal
property to England.
