the burden of appointing officials for
all leagues and who will be respon-
sible for the conduct of all games.

walton, for in the seven years since

.STUYVESANT wins
WITH LINE PLUNCES
Old Fashioned Game
Brings an Easy Victory
Over Commercial.

Stuyvesant High School opened ics
home football season in an suspicious
manner by defeating the Commercial
High School on the latters field in
Brooklyn Yesterday by score Of 10
TO 0. The East Side boys resOrted prin-
cipally to straight football TO advance
the ball and made good progress in
this respect. Although outweighed the
Stuyvesant backs tore holes through
the centre of the opposing defence for
big gains In the first half Stuyyesant
made eight first downs by rushing 70
its rivals two.
Commercial made daring use of the
forward pass, but although il was sue
cessful in completing many long ones,
Stuyvesant was finally able to break
up the play.
Less than five minutes after the
opening of the contest Commercial
rushed the ball, aided by a completed
forward pass, to its rivals 10-yard
line, where il lost the ball by trying a
forward, which went awry.
In the third quarter Commercial had
the ball only inches from Stuyyesant's
line, but failed to score. Several plays
later Commercial again had the ball on
the 13-yard line, but another uncom-
pleted forward pass spoiled another
chance for q score.
After taking the ball on an incom-
plete pass soon after the opening
whistle Stuyvesant surprised its OPP
ponents by rushing them down the field.
Easy gains were made through the cen
tire, Sampson, Bergling and Sinclair do
ing splendid offensive work. Stuy-
vesant had the ball on the 4-yard line
when the first quarter ended, and on
the second play in the following period
Bergling went over. Again rushing its
opponents Stuyvesant scored its sec
ond touchdown, when Bergling caught
q short forward pass from sampson on
the fourth down.
In the third quarter Commercial
held Stuyvesant on its 7-yard line, but
a poor punt out by Becker gave the
Manhattan eleven the bali on the 10
ward line. Sampson made five yards

Maine looked like an easy winner with

CONTEND PRESIDENTIAL PRI-
MARY UNCONSTITUTIONAL

Washington, Feb. 5,-Debate on
President Wilson'S proposal for Pres
idential primaries came up. in the Sem
ate today with Senator Walsh's bill
for a temporary method of nominating
and electing senators.
Senator Sutherland, Republican, con-
tended thar Federal primary election
law would be unconstitutional.
Il disagree with the President said
he. THE Constitution provides that
the manner of selecting Presidential
electors shall be determined by the
state Legislatures. If we could pass a
law we would have no power to en-
force it"
The proposed law would be operative
only when State Legislatures, under
the express direction of the nth
amendment, should provide other
means for governing the conduct of
senatorial elections.
