football season now drawing to a
close has been a tough one for

the country's six major conferences
has ended with only one champion
of 1929 able to repeat outright, the
University of Utah in the Rocky
Mountain group, although another
Tulane, obtained a tie with Ala-
bama in the Southern con'erence.
Here are the champions of the

RSSIA DECIDES
TO INVESTIGATE
FRENCHAGENTS
Trial for High Treason
of 8 Engineers
Progresses.
RAMZIN ON STAND
Defendant's Connection
With Foreigners
Admitted.
(v Associate Press)
MOSCOW, Nov. 28-Thorough in-
vestigation into the activities of
"French and other government
agents in Moscow" was demanded
by prosecutor Krilenko tonight
when the trial of eight engineers
on charges of high treason was re-
sumned. He asked the court for a
closed session to permit him to
inquire as to the identity of the
alleged French agent "A" and "R"
with whom the defendants have
testified they dealt in connection
with a plot for foreign intervention.
Starts Cross Examination.
The request was granted, but
meanwhile the prosecutor started
I crossexamining the defendants.
Prof. L. Ramzin, indicted as lead-
ed of the conspiracy, was the first
to take the stand.
Prosecutor Krilenko announced
'the cross examination would be on
the basis of biography, past activi-
Ity, concrete explanation of the de-
fendants' evidence, more complete
details of their connections abroad
and more definite facts relating to
Poincare and Briand on interven-
tion and activities of the French
general staff.
y"I was born in 1887," replied
Ramziri. "My father and mother
were village school teachers and I
'earned my own living since the age
of 14. I graduated from the Moscow
Technical Institute in 1914 and re-
mnained there as a teacher.
"I worked in the States planning
commission from 1921 to 1925 and
}more recently with large soviet
power projects. I worked in the
Bolshevik party as a youth but had
no political connection until the
October revolution.
"My attitude was rather hostile
toward the revolution and after-
ward I became a member of a group
which saboted Soviet institutions."
Tells of First Plans.
A crowded court room thrilled
while Krilenko frequently shot
questions at the defendant and the
latter slowly and carefully replied.
It was after 1926, said Ramzin,
that higher engineers drew him in-
to anti-Soviet plots with them.
"Do you sincerely believe that the
country should be ruled by engi-
neers and technical men?" Krilen-
ko asked.
"Yes," Ramzin replied, "econom-
ically."
"But how about politically?"
questioned Krilenko.
"Well," said Ramzin, "this was
only a form of propaganda to draw
more engineers into the industrial
party which was then in the proc-
ess of formation."
Ramzin contended his antipathy
toward the Soviet government was
not occasioned by material reasons
was purely idealogical.
