LEM ]. O4RE TALKS
TO UNIVERSITY CLUB

The proposed sales tax to be sub
stituted for the excess profits tax
and surtax on incomes is unfair and
unjust" said Lem ]. Dare in an
address before the University club
Friday noon.
Economists have agreed there is
only one just method Of taxation"
continued Mr.. Oare. That is on
ability to pay. The sales tax is
consumption tax pure and simple
and viii be paid by the man who
earns $4,000 and spends all Of II on
necessities as much as the man who
earns $4,000.
Appropriations by the govern
ment during the year 1919 tOtaled
over six billion dollars and over
four billion for 1920. There is now
a deficit Of over one billion dollars.
Before the war the largest apprO-
priation by congress for any one
year was between one and two bill
lion dollars.
MANY articles are subject TO a
sales tax now of more than the pro-
posed one percent and it looks To
me TO be an effort 20 throw taxes

increasing the revenue derived"

WASHINGTON GLEES
 HOLD CANTON BULLDOGS

Jim Thorpe's Canton Bulldogs were unable to score against the Washing ton Glee club of New Haven yester- day, the battle closing in a scoreless tie. Only on two occasions were the Ohio professionals able to reach the 20-yard line of the New Haveners. In the first playing period, series of short rush line gains by Guyon and Gallo, mostly through tackle, swept the play to the 16-yard mark of the Glees, where the Bulldogs were fore ed to surrender the ball on downs.
 In the third period, Guyon attempt ed a placement goal from the 3O- yard mark but agle of the Gees broke through and blocked the attempt The bunting of Kelly and the remarkable offensive play of the Glees saved them from disaster. One of Kelly s kicks carried TO yards. The longest run of the game was made by Loomis, fullback for the Glees, in the second period, when the intercepted a for ward pass and raced 36 yards. The Glees were held on downs at the 30- yard mark of tn Bulldogs on the only occasion when they neared that mark Because of ther ain and heavy field only 5000 persons saw the game.

. To decide which team is the semi professional football champion of the city the Lenox and Crasho teams will stage another game at Newfie1d park next Sunday afternoon and it will be the third game between them, the other two having resulted in tie scores. In their first meeting neith- CT side was able to score, while in the second game yesterday afternoon at Newield park the game ended, ' to '. About 1000 saw the game which was bitterly fought all the way.
 Recovering a tumble in the second period started the LenoX team toward their touchdown, the first of the game. A forward pass, Gregory to O'Kane, gave the Lenox boys 30 yards and placed the pigskin on the Crasho five yard marx. Stehle ad- vanced the ball to the two yard line and Schaeffer went over the line for a touchdown. Stehle kicked the goal.
 Just before the contest closed the Crasho team tied up the count and like the score made by the Lenox out fit, the break came when Gorley, of the LenoX team, fum bled the ball. An aerial play, Gaynor to Hurley, result

Hunt Tries To ! Make Patch Up s With Stamford

t Coach Fred Hunt of the High school football team witnessed the game between Stamford and Elgin, III, High schools at Stamford on Saturday with the specific intention of making an effort to patch up the differences between Stamford and Bridgeport High schools. Athletic re- 1ations between the two schools were severed four years ago and since then their representative teams have not met in any branch of athletics.
 Stamford's victory over Elgin came as the result of the overhead game. In the first period Stamford started an attack which Elgin could not check. Williams of Stamford took a forward pass and brought the ball to Elgin's 25-yard line and immediately after that Williams took another forward and advanced the ball to Elgin's three yard line. La Guardia then went around end and scored the touch l. down.
 These plays beat Elgin because they were caught off their guard with the speed of the Stamford plays and from that time on they were a beaten team.
 Coach Hunt held a short confer ence with the athletic advisers a: Stamford and had a long talk with Coach Boyle towards resuming ath- 1etic relations between the two schools. The matter will have to be brought before the athletic councils of the both schools, however, before q definite decision is reached.

Iaurels Unable To
 Beat Hebrew Boys

ysa a. fast and exciting game Sunday afternoon at Beardsley park, the He brew Boys club and the LaureL2 pat tied to a scorelesS tie, although the Hebrew Boys were heavily out weighed. SevEal times the Hebrew Boys goal was threatened but they always stiffened and held. The game was played on muddy and very slip pery field.
 The individual star of the game was the playing of Wex1er, right end, or the Hebrew Boys, who was in the midst of every play, breaking up many of the LaureIs' plays as well as play ing a great tackling game
 The first half was very interesting. The ueares tthe Hebrew Boys could get was on the Laurels' 20-yard line.
 The second half was not exciting. In the very first minute of play. Os- trofsky of the Hebrew Boys club ran 40 yards before he was nailed, putting the ball on the Laurels' 20-yard line, but the latter stiffened and took the ball on downs.
 In the last quarter after taking the ball down the field a forward pass netted 30 yards, placing the ball on the Hebrew Boys eight-yard line. But the Hebrew Boys held like a tsone wall and the Laurels lost the ball.
 The game ended with the ball In midfield.
 This is the last game of the season for the Hebrew Boys, and they had a successful season for, their first year.

The mea surement of fighting abi1- ity, however, gives Dempsey a decid- ed advantage. Two years ago, in Milwaukee, the cyclonic lad from Salt Lake knocksed Brennan out in five rounds. That was before he was and since that time he has improved to marked degree, though he was close to his top form nearly a year before he met Jess Willard.
 Next Tuesday, week, Brennan will get his chance to retaliate. Like Dempsey he is an improved fighter and he believes he has a good chance to drop two birds with one well-timed annex the worlds championship.

Bridgeport Men To Help m Drafting A
 State Boxir1g Bill

The committee of seven will meet this week and will make it's report to the other members on December IS.
 At the meeting Saturday it was de- cided that each city commission brlng $50 to the next meeting of the State board to assist in defraying expenses of the committee of seven.
 Dick Howell suggested that the commissioners express their views on some points of the game which will have to be handled rather carefully by the committee. The question of referees was brought up by Commis- sioner Burdick,, who believed that a certain number should be appointed by the State Commission and each one licensed. The matter was favorably looked upon by the members.
 The question of judges was opposed by nearly every commissioner who be- | lieved that it would be a difficult task | to round up enough men who believed | themselves competent judges. | After a lengthy argument the com l mission decided to recommend bouts | to be limited to 15 rounds. It wa! i also decided to recommend that the
 state tax be per cent. It was fur
