Rockingham high school grid
iron warriors had little trouble
in beating McColl high school
squad here last Friday after
noon and won by a score of IA
to 0. THE end runs by Rock
inghaR's back field were excep-
tionally good, while her flankers
handled the aerial passes with a
considerable degree of accuracy,
netting the team much ground.
At no stage of the game was
there any danger of McColl's
making a touchdown; The only
chance they had to score was
when they started to drop-kick
at two different times, the first
one missing the goal about a
yard and the second one was
broken up by Rockingham 8
husky center, Terry, when he
broke through his opponents
line and blocked a kick.
EIlerbe was the individual
star of contest until he had the
"hard luck" of breaking his arm
which threw him out of the
game and no doubt for the rest
Of the season. Ellerbe made our
first touchdown in the first
quarter after making several
beautiful end runs. He was car
rying the ball for another
touchdown when he was tack
led and fell on his arm. Ellerbe
was replaced by Harrison, who
played a consistent game for his
first time in the back field.
Webb, E. Coble, Warner and
R. Coble did some fine work,
while our tackles and guards
were holding the line like a
stone wall, and when their OPP
ponents had the ball they went
through their lire with almost
perfect ease.
Rockingham made five first
downs while McColl failed to
make d single one; they had toe
much to cope with.

premier at turbulent sitting of the
chamber. Four hundred deputies

Proposed Plank in G. O. P.
Platform Recites Efforts
To Repeal War Legislation
Details Acts Completed by Congress, Including Re-
duction of Requested Appropriations, Railroad,
Shipping and Other Laws-Draft Made Public
BY Senator Mccormick of Illinois.

first platform plank before the sub
committee dealing with the record OF
the republican congress despite the
stitutional and dictatorial
course of President Wilson and the
partisan obstruction of the demo-
cratic minority" was made public
tonight by Senator Mccormick OF
Illinois.
The provisions of the proposed
initial plank recited the republican
efforts TO repeal war,1egislation and
detailed legislation completed by
congress including reduction of re-
quested appropriations, the rail-
road, shipping and other acts.
The plank follows:
Despite the unconstitutional and
dictatorial course of President Will
son and partisan obstruction of the
democratic minority in congress,
the republican majority adopted a
program of constructive legislation
which in great par,, has been nulli-
fled by the vindichve vetoes of the
president.

the administrations unreadiness to
resume the tasks of peace, which

liberties of the citizens that was
thwarted by a presidential veto. 1t

Developments in Conclaves Of
Convention Leaders Point to
Mighty Struggle Before

CENTER ATTENTION ON
FIRST TEST OF STRENGTH
Powerful Forces Back of

Effort to Put Their Candidate
Across at Early Hour.
By ARTHUR SEARS HENNING.

Chicago, June 9.-Developments
ton leaders at the Michigan avenue
hotels foreshadowed mighty strug
gle between General Wood and Gov
crnor lowden at the opening of the
battle of the ballots to nominate
republican candidate for president.
Even those leaders who believe
that Wood Lowden and Johnson
will be eliminated from the contest
and dark horse named for standard
bearer, were centering their atten

tween the general and the governor
and participating in the maneuvering.
Both the Wood and Lowden field
managers were working far into the
right to muster every ounce OF
strength for the showdown that will
constitute the first stage of the
fight.
Wood Gaining Strength.
1t was evident, that Gen. Woods
candidacy was more formidable to-
night than at any time since he
entered the race. 1t was apparent
that the powerful forces enlisted
under the Wood banner were maxi
ing a mighty effort to round up
a PROSPECTIVE majority of the con-
vention and it was conceded on
every side that the general is 60
ing to give his allied adversaries a
terrific battle. There was more
alarm manifested among the anti
Wood men than at any time since
the delegates reached the scene.
Senator Moses, southern manager
for Wood, was claiming 3l8 votes
,5ar the general on the first ballot.
This was following conference of
the Wood managers at which the
Wood strength was tabulated at 27l
on the first roll call. Moses is
counting on aceessions totaling AZ
by the time the roll is called for
the first time.
