They gamble in football, too.
Thousands of dollars change
hands after every important foot
ball tame.
But the old rattle of coin never
stops among the risk boys. They
play the ponies. the fights, the base
bail scores and the gridiron touch
downs.
The gambling fever is fairly con-
Stunning the American people at the
present time.
But the football gamblers. so far
as is known. keep to themselves.
They don't tamper with the college
players and the coaches.
There is none of the sure-thing
stuff involved. The betters follow
the dope closely on rival elevens.
They sift things down to a pretty
as to how wise they are as to the
comparative strength of the teams.
The name of college athletics has
never been smirched. To the play
ers school honor means more than
gold. They get their remuneration
from the hero-worship bestowed so
lavishly upon them.
There is nothing in the world so
wonderful as to be on the receiving
end Of all that youthful fire and
cheering which a student body gives
its heroes.
The athlete may be a dub when
he leaves school. He may be a poor
business man. He may make a
fizzle of everything he undertakes.
But when he's in school making
touchdowns for his team, there's
nothing in after life that will aver
come up to those moments when he
was a hero on the team.
Nc wonder the college athlete
places honor above gold.

LETTERS IN CONTROVERSY
ON AWARD OF CUPS HERE

Following is a communication re-
ceived from h secretary OF h
Jyceum Athletic Club regarding h
award of loving cups at dances In
this city, and a statement from the
chairman of the Headlight Club in
regard to their award on last
Tuesday night.
A Raw Deal.
Oct. 20, 1920.
Editor Perth Amboy Evening News:
At a ball held Tuesday night,
October 10, 1920, at the Junior hall
a silver loving cup was to be given
to the CLUB" with the most mem
bers represented on this occasion.
1 being a representative of a
sporting club. known as the Lyceum.
Athletic Club of the city of Perth
Amboy, am strictly opposed to clubs
or organizations who advertise on
their ball programs or posters that
a silver loving cup or whatever 1t
may be, will be given to the club
with the most members, present,
then In return give it to a sick and
death benefit organization such as
the Knights of Columbus, the said
organization having no right to
march for the cup, as the advertise
ment calls for clubs.
/ know that the knights Of Co.
lumbus has a larger representation
than the Lyceum Athletic Club, but
they should be given the preference
of q loving cup or whatever it may
be, when the advertisement calls for
clubs, such as sporting clubs or ath-
aetic clubs.
This is not the first time this
thing has occurred, 1t also happened
on the night of September 16, 1920,
- 49,. It'll
given by the Dardanella boys.
On this occasion the Lyceum
Athletic Club had one hundred men,
bers in line for the loving cup. and
finally the knights of Columbus
were requested to march, a sick and
death benefit organization with a
membership of one hundred and ten
present. Therefore the knights OF
Columbus won the loving cur which
they were not supposed to get, If
the committee on this occasion,
knew their business.
Yours for O, IN sport and a
squar deal,
FRANK GENESKI, Sec,
Lyceum A. c., Perth Amboy.
Thompson Explains Situation
John Thompson, chairman of the
dance committee of the Headlight
Club at their dance in Junior hall
on last Tuesday night. stated yester-
day afternoon that all their adver-
tisements regarding the dance were
to the effect that a loving cup would
be awarded to the Club most rep
resented.
He further stated that when an
nouncement was made for the clubs
to register for the contest. the Col
umbus Club and the Junior Club
were the only organizations to en-
ter. For some reason or other, the
chairman stated, the Junior Club
withdrew from the contest, leaving
the Columbus Club the uncontested
winner Of the cup.
A Social Club
The explanation of the above. by
the chairman of the dance commit
tee, gives the opinion that the Col
umbus Club is a social organization
In the Knights of Columbus.

Mike Cassidy Puts One
 Over on the Democrats

Mike Cassidy, the accomplished, slipped enc over on the literary lights of Bisbee yesterday. It has been mo- ticed that Senator Harding has, on several occasions, used an unusual word, "normalcy" The literary lights, who were Democrats, declared that Senator Harding ought to be ashamed of himself 10 display such ignorance, cOntending that there is no such word. Cassidy, q Republican. came to the de- fense or his idol.
 Your ignorance" quoth Cassidy, lis refreshing. I'll bet four dollars that that word is in the dictionary"
 The literary lights pooled their in terests and called the bet, with su- perior smiles. They all trooped over to Cassidy's office to look in the dic- Gonary. The word was there. The is the same as normal only different.

 Jailed By U. s.

tCONTINJrED FROM TAGE ONr0 was the guest of honor at the con cert. The Russian children sailed for home a week ago.
 Detective James J. Gegan. long head Of the bomb squad, identified Prailovsky as tho man vino had din- gy quarters at 133 East Fifteenth street where the "Russky-Colos" ori- einally was published The detec- tive he said was there in March 1917 again in June of that year and a third tir1e in November 1919 On one Q" two occasions. Gegan added he seized quantities of radical liter ature there and each time found Brailc"sky presiding over earnest conferences of foreigners.
 Arrest Most Important
 The police attached imDortance to the arrest They said an effort was heinz made to get into communfca- ton with Attorney General Palmer tonight and notify him of Brailov- skV's detention.
 Only one body found after the ex- plosion remains unidentified tonight It is of boy of about 19 years. The opinion was expressed that he was the driver of the death wagon" which is believed to have carried the bomb into the financial district. and an investigation is being made along that line
 Medical Examiner Norris declared that metal fragment found in the unidentified boys hodv 'is clearly a pert of the casing Of the bomb or one of the bombs, which caused the destruction and loss of 'ifo'
 Every Evidence Of soro5
 "One side of this metal Norris said. 'is slightly convex ana highly polished. Further proof tka. ii, was :; part of bomb casing is furnished fy the Carsity and thickness of lie metal Very heavy and the frag- mept is about an inch and half long. This entered the back of the boy and imbedded itself in the mus cles very close to the front of the abdomen.
 Tt would be absurd to think this piece Of metal could have been struck by a fragment from the origi- nal bomb and projected with force sufficient to carry it almost through the youths abdomen. The bomb cas- ing together with all the steel, iron and even splinters of wood we found in the bodies Of the dead and injured have been carefully labelled, placed in envelopes and turned over to the police department"
 In Charge of Autopsies
 Norris, who has charge of the au- tOpsies on the bodies of these who died as a result of the explosion, de- clared that in every case except one death was caused directly by pune lures or penetrating wounds,' that fractured bones had caused hemor- rhages if the missiles did not reach Q vital spot. The exception was that Of woman who, Dr. Norris said was clearly burned to death. Her body was found nearest the spot where the explosion occurred.
 Attorney General Palmer left here tonight for his home in Stroudsburg, Penna., where he will spend the week end. Assistant Attorney General Francis P. Garvan also left the city for his home iQ Long Island, Chief Flynn being left here in charge of the federal investigators.
