"My investigations have disclos-
ed that the majority of those arrest
ed for crime are ex-service men.
This condition is due to the fact that
forced service in the war made
criminals of these men," This
statement is attributed to Kate
Richards 0'Hare. socialist leader,
and has drawn outbursts of indig-
nation from Legion posts from one

Many Legion posts are urging that

FOOTBALL STRATEGY

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. Jan. 12.-Harvard's
football strategy in important games for

In the games with Yale and Princeton for

From these vantage points they wers

who saw 1t largely in the mass. The tel
ephones in most instances were field sets
rugged up by members of the football
squad before the contest.
In the big game with Yale at the Bowl
last fall former Coach p. d, Houghton
and Jimmy Knox, Crimson strategists,
dictated over the telephone the observa-
tions that Head Coach Fisher incorpo-
rated with his own in formulating tho
tactics of the moment.
Harvard football authorities made ne
attempt to conceal the telephone ar
rangements in any case. ii was said and
as far as they knew the installation was
known to representatives of opposing
teams. The operation of the telephone
was not regarded as involving any ques-

Player On His Honor.

The new form of players contract
adopted puts the player on a good deal
of an honor basis. II Is changed greatly
from the old contract. One thing II
provides is direct appeal by the player
20 the Commissioner In case the former
has a grievance. The player In turn
submits himself to the discipline OF the
Commissioner. The new reserve clause
reads as follows:
"The reservation to the club OF the
valuable right thus to fix salary rate
for the succeeding year and the promise
of the player not to play during said
year otherwise than with the club or
an assignee hereof. have been taken In
consideration IN determining the salary
specified herein, and the undertaking
by the club TO pay said salary Is the
consideration for both the reservation
and the promise"
Tho meetings for the week aren't over
yet, but the main business is over and
the different organizations are all set
to proceed with reconstructed govern
ment on what they believe TO be
higher plane than the game ever has
enjoyed. The evils Of dishonesty they
believe they have eradicated for a long
time, n not for good. The minors
assert that they have n more prominent
and influential voice In the affairs Of
the national game than ever before.
One of them went so far az to say
that he didn't think the minors would
agree 20 change the word "recommenda-
tlon" back to take" in the agreement,
but he finds no supporters In that view
and the vote TO recommend the change
was unanimous.
No visible progress was made to-day
toward the contamination ~ any deals.
