Worry Over Outlook Season's Football State College Athletic Author ities Anxious for Players' Return Raleigh, August 27.?Uncertainty over the return of several players, members of both the varsity squad and the 1922 freshman team. Is caus ing the athletic authorities of North Carolina State College no little con cern. The 1922 Wolfpack was a green aggregation, a team which showed flashes of real promise, although nev er fully, measuring up to the Tech standard or the past, football fans say. A year's experience, plus now blood from the yearling squad, was expected to furnish the margin of strength necessary to make a strong contender out of the team which trailed last year in every Southern Conference game. It has teen thought that N. C. State would lose only three letter men, but it is rumored now that sev eral others will be missing when col lege opens September 4. Captain Floyd, tackle; Tommy Park, full back; and Paaour. guard, are - the only regulars Ineligible this fall. In addition to this trio, however, it is reported that Andy Randolph. Bobby Long and John Jennette, backs, and "Red" Raker, tackle, all letter men. and Dill Morris, a promising second string back, will not return. Out of the WeBt, from the moun tain home of the youngsters near Ashevllle. comes the report that the Shuford brothers, star hackfleldern on the yearling tram, will cast their lot with another college this year. With this possible loss of so many men who have been counted on f4x the'coming season It Is not at all surprising that those who have looked forward to an exceptional eleven this year are losing n little bit of their bouyancy of spirit and enthusiasm of optimism. Chief Coach Harry Hartsell hat* returned to the college nfter spend ing a large part of the summer at the school for conches conducted by the University of Illinois. From now until the opening of college he wlil actively supervise the work of pre paring Rfddlck field for the fall cam paign. The Tech chief la non-comit tal over the prospects, but he says he Is prepared to take the squad as he finds it and develop every bit of its ability. The team races a very hard schedule, and if Hart*e1| finds It n- cessary to build practically a new machine, he will be confronted with a right sizeable task, say per sons who are acquainted with the conditions. Following is the schedule for-N. C. State College: September 29?Roanoke College at Raleigh. October 6?Penn State at State Col lege, Pennsylvania. October 13?University of South Carolina at Raleigh.

Con ger. president of the concern. Construction of the plant began early in the spring with a view to opening it about the first of June, but circumstances beyond the contrac tor's control has made it impoasible to complete the work before the mid dle of September. This plant has a capacity of 21, 000 cubic feet for the storage of Ash, meats, vegetables, eggs and general wholesale grocery supplies.

"The city water varies." Mr Conger says. "On some days there is too much alurt and on the next day there is too much lime. This alum is what causes the yellow Ice. I have tried everything I could think of to avoid it and I hope ihat ! th?- Installation of this new filtrntloij I machinery will bring about the de-' sired result." 1 Mr. Conger took charge of the 1 Crystal Ice & Coal Corporation four1 years ago this month. Since that time he has made a number of Im provements In the plant conslstont J with the progress nnd growth of .Elizabeth City nnd the surrounding counties In which, for the must part, there are no ice plants.

Markham Insists Farmer Needn't Dip But Farmer Would Have Been Freed From The Quaran tine Soon, Anyway An effort on the part of County Prosecutor Sawyer to restore to th^ authorities designated by law the matter of lifting cattle tick quaran tine In Pasquotank came to nought Monday morning when Assistant Tri al Justice Markham upheld Trial Jus tice Spence in making the recorder's court authority for virtually lifting quarantine by refusing to find guilty of failure to dip cattle owners on whose premises no ticks have been found this year. The defendant was J. 8. Markham, I the same man found not guilty by Trial Justice Spence a few weeks jag'o. I'pon Mr. Markham's failure to dip on the next dipping day. author ities brought him into court again and the result was the trial Monday j morning In which he was again found I not guilty. "In view of the judgment of the court In the former trial of this de fendant," Bald Judge Markhai\i, "I could not find him guilty in this case, since no notice of quarantine has .been served on him since that time." Hut Judge Markham was not con tent to put the burden for the ruling on Judge Spence's shoulders. "I am frank to say," he went on, "that had this case come before me In the first instance. I should have held Just as jJudge Spence did. These farmers | have a right to appeal to the courts when they think they have been dis criminated against and I am not in [sympathy with the adverse criticism lof Judge Spence on account of his .ruling." Prosecutor Sawyer was not dls j posed to quarrel with the court's rul ing, but he declared that Mr. Mark j ham would continue to be brought .Into court on every dip day on which he failed to dip his cattle, regardless jof the court's ruling. Mr. Markham's cattle were placed r<* laat night.
