The case was argued at great length
twice before Judge Hunter. who de-
clered the miliase tax principal con-
1rary to the state constitution, and
later before Judge APPRECIATE, who de-
c!ared the nilIage tax TO be all right

The Importance of the case is some
what enhanced. however. from the
fact that the whole principle of the

for the state where large sums are
needed is involved. and if the court
should take the keosauqua view that
nailiage taxes are Illogical II will upset
the whole scileT1It- q handling hnsi-

expected their printed arguments viii
be completed and filed come time this

THE appeal of the special committee
 in England for a $50O,G coo fund for
 the Olympic games at Berlin in 1916 has attracted the attention of athletes throughout the world J E. K-~ Studd, the chairman of the British committee, in an appeal for funds referred to the StoclxhoIm Olympic games as ma tional disaster for England and urged Fan S+tideal scheme to insure the best
 possible representation at Berlin. The necessity for special training, which is provided by local clubs in the United States. is admitted. but the difference in the conditions of both countries makes this a difficult matter for British athletic authorities to overcome. While in France; James F.. Sullivan, secretary reasurer of the Amateur Athletic union in discussing the pro- posed British Olympic fund. agreed that it was the duty of the fund to en-
 courage public school and county championships. triangular Olympic
 contests between England. Scotland
 and Ireland and general sports meet ings. He had nothing to say against the proposed financial guarantee for Olyna pic, championships in the north ern and midland counties. The pro vision of proper sets of inpe dim entS for field events at various centers was also, he admitted. absolutely necessary Colonel Robert M, Thompson. presi- dent of9tf1e American Olympic commit tee, who is at present in Scotland.7 has taken part in the controversy and in l 8 long letter in the London Times de- fends the American training methods. | He comm ents on American and Eng fish athletic relations and explains the use of the Olympic fund in this 9coun- try and enIarges upon the pure athletic status of American Olympic athletes The letter, which has created a stir in British athletic circles, closes with sew eral valuable suggestions and tells the Britishers they have plenty of athletic l material to develop. Colonel Thomp-
 sons letter follows, in part:
 sI am greatly interested in the Olyn1 l pic discussion and trust you will per-
 init an outsider to add a word to it. 'tNfr. Harrison. one of your important l correspondents, objects to raising and expending a fund to provide what would practically be team of gladia- l tors for the Olympic games. He as sumes that America and the other competing nations are doing this, and he protests against England following their wicked example. Sir A Conan Doyle has shown MT.

 frankly admit that my victory was probably more surprising to me than to any person at the BrookIine Country club. Until the final eighteen holes were begun it really never occurred to me that I could win, and perhaps it was because of this feeling as much as any other reason that was successful
 Not until we were on our way to the eleventh hole did it strike me that was capable of playing as good, yes, even better golf, than either Vardon or Ray. No doubt if had been burdened with the feeling that was expected to

HshEVEN years ago. when first be-
 gan cAddy1ng at the same course over which I won the open champion ship. little thought that I would some time be the instrument in saving the golf honor of America. By leading Vardon and Ray, the famous British opponents at the game, the extra holes at Broolxline the championship title will remain in the United States. But there is one person who deserves more credit than I for the victory for Amer lea, and that individual is little Eddie Laurys my caddie in the tournament
 Strange though 1t may seem. the idea of my being the sole guardian of Amer tcan golhng honor in the nnal test did not present itself to me until just be- fore we started from the golf house for the first time Then little Eddie fur nished the Inspiration I will never for get the feeling of shame that crept over me as behe1d the dinfnutive lad with a red, white and blue ribbon fut- tering from the lapel of his coat. It was absolutely the first time that I realized that [ was an American and that on my playing devolved the duty of retaining the title in America And when Eddie ambled up to my side as Ray, Vardon and trudged to the first tee he whispered:

 The feeling of shame gave way to the patriotism that Waxed up within me. Those words from a en-year-Old boy inspired me to outdo myself. and I de- terunined then and there before a stroke had been played that I would forget my opponents throughout the round and play the game that I felt confident I was capable of playing.
 And in answer to the question I have been asked so often since I ho1ed my last putt, How does it feel to win the open championship
 The experience is entirely too novel to fuI1z- comprehend its real signifi- csnSe, but want to state it has all ways been my ambition to win the ann ateur golf championship of the United States Notwithstanding that am now the open champion.

 And it is in finding weaknesses, In finding where faults really lie. that the greatness of the captain or coach IS often determined
 An important matter wherein sew eral of the big teams have been falling short this year is the development Of effective interference. And the team director that neglects the building of a strong interference system is clearly incompetent to hold his position
 Not only should interference be cu1- tfvated to a. high degree, but the break ing up of the interference of the op- posing team should also receive strict attention In forming and using in terference care should be taken to drill the man carrying the ball into working in absolute combination with his interferers, and they should do the same with him. Suppose you had the best formation in the world for inter ference on end or tackle runs. what good would it be if it went so fast that the back carrying the ball could not keep up with it? No use at all. The same situation results when the car rier of the ball outspeeds his interfer- ence. He becomes a. ready target for the opposing tacklers.
 Different experts have different methods for forming interference, but they all agree that the runner must Keep close to his protectors and that the grand stand" tendency of some bright individual stars who leave their interferers and try to go it alone is dangerous and bad football.
 When on the defensive a team often wins or loses on its ability to break up interference. It is rough work, but it Is necessary. and one way to harden men so that they can stand it is the method used at the university of Penn syIvania where the players throw themselves at heavy tackling dummies from every possible angle.
