Commissioner Haynes estimate of the sum needed for running expenses of the Treasuryis prohibition unit now is before Budget Director Dawes for approval. It covers needs of. liquor law enforcement for the fiscal year ending June 30. 1923.
 'I absolutely need s2,5O0,oO0 more from Congress next year than was al- lowed in the current fiscal year." said Haynes. '@That means an appropria- ton of SIG, 100000. But that s not enough. I ought to have $50,000, 900 to tackle this job right"
 Greatly enlarged forces of dry law agents in all states to cooperate more actively with the state and municipal authorities is imperative, in Haynes opinion, to insure literal compliance with the Volstead law.
 Commissioner Haynes said the gov ernment is now going the limit in an assault upon illegal traff1cking in rum. A smash is now on to stop the

 But Haynes is fully cognizant of the fact that even after all his efforts have been exhausted, with the com parively limited group of dry law agents at his command, there still will remain other and perhaps equally baffling phases of the Volstead law problem up to him for action.

 This pat declaration comes from Prohibition Commissioner Haynes. who sees dangers ahead for the Vol stead act. He will tell Congress, he says that it must come to the rescue, if the laws is to be upheld and respect for it secured-by compulsion if nec- eSSary.

we do not understand the dances"
 A girl senior, after learning the boards intention of hiring a pro- fessional dancer to pass on the school dances: '"This High school is get ting to be the absolute limit. First they clamped down the lid on short skirts and roll-top stockings. Then they banned bobbed hair. Then they teach us dancing in school, and if we danced that way after we left the scnoo1 we would be arrested.
 ''The members of the town school board and these old women who are interfering only know of the old fashioned waltz, the polka and the minuet.- George Washington danced those about one hundred and fifty years ago. We are neither vicious nor vulgar in our dancing. but these old ducks just must have their noses in som eb ody else's business. and so they pick on us. If they want to be up to date they should abandon their high brow ideas and come down to earth. I'll bet that one of the members of the Women's club would enjoy the camel walk with George. the prize dancer of my class. It certainly is surprising to find when one reaches the age of 16 or IT. how little the old folk really know"
 The school board is considering a suggestion, that all school functions and dances be held in the afternoon, on the ground that this would elimi- nate the forrnality of evening dress and lend a more refined atmosphere to the affairs.

Fordham Preparing
For Opening Court
Game With C.C.N.Y.

With the opening game with C. C.
N. \. less than week off, the Ford
ham basketball team is being driven
at rapid pace by Frank Gargan, the
new graduate manager of athletics, in
his attempts to have the team in fit
condition for this game. For the last
week the team has been having daily
afternoon practice sessions in one of
the local armories.,
squad of about forty men turned
out to take their fling at the court
game, but it is extremely doubtful if
any newcomer, lest he be a player Of
exceptional ability, will gain q regular
position on this years Maroon quintet.
This is because of the fact that the
192021 team has been left intact.
This veteran five is composed of Ed
Mcmahon at center, Captain Tommy
Fallon and Lou Healy, football stars,
at the forward positions; Bud Culloton,
varsity pitcher, and jim Kelly at the
guard positions. Of these five men Gull
lotion and Mcmahon have had two years
experience on the varsity, while Fallon,
Healy and Kelly have had one.
Besides these five there are several
other men who look as though they
might develop into capable substitutes.
Prominent among them are Schermer-
horn, who played on last years base
ball team; Crowley, former member
of the Fordfam Prep court team; Lipke,
freshman; Aveutis, Reddington and
Grote..
For the last few days Frank Gargan
has assumed charge of the team. This
will be but temporary however, as a
coach will be appointed within short
time. Orson Kinney, the coach of last
years team, is now coaching at Yale.

Fisher, Harvard Coach.
For Fourth Time

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Dec. 3.-Robert
7. Fisher will start his fourth season
as head coach of Harvard football next
September. The big fellow agreed to-
day, but will not sign contract until
later on. Up to last fall Fisher had q
clean record, but lost the last season
to Centre and Princeton. His 1919
team went to California and van
quished Oregon.
His teams have defeated Yale three
successive seasons, but have been less
fortunate against Princeton, tieing two
games and losing this autumn. A de-
sire to humble the Tiger, which also
defeated the eleven Fisher captained at
Harvard, is undoubtedly mainly re-
sponsible for his decision to remain at

Indoor Relay Carnival
Attracts Many Star Athletes
N. Y. A. C. Team Prob
able Favorite i'm Feature
Race Next Saturday
By Jack Masters

The indoor relay carnival arranged
by the Mohawk A. c., along the lines
of the classic. Pennsylvania relays
which are decided annually at Franklin
Field, Philadelphia, has attracted an
entry that dispels all doubt as to the
success of the local venture, which was
something of an experiment on the
part of the Bronx Indians. More than
a score of champions have signed to
perform at the 22d Regiment Armory
next Saturday evening, where the games
will be held.
Among the most prominent con-
tenders are Frank Zuna, American
marathon champion; William Ritola,
'cross-country title holder; Bernie
Wefers jr., sprint champion; Andy
Kelly, world record holder for 800
yards; Eddie Tarvey, three mile indoor
king; Jack Sellers, who won three
titles last year, and Eddie Farrell, local
sprint champion and intercollegiate
title holder.
The. New York A. c. relay team,
which shattered two worlds marks at
the national meet in California last
year, will likely be made favorite in
the one and a quarter mile race, in
which the st. Amslem's, Mohawk,
Paulist, Brooklyn and ST. Christopher
clubs will compete, and the Winged
Footers should win if they put their
best team in action.
Have Fine Long Distance Talent
In the fve-mile team race the Morn
which the st. Anselms Mohawk,
and others will start, but The three
clubs mentioned should fight it out
for first place, as they have fine ar
ray of iong-distance talent and are
very evenly matched. j.
Following is q list of other events,
with some of the clubs entered:

14th, 23d, list, 22d and 6oth regi-
ments; Knights of Columbus relay:

likely come East before the indoor
season is over. Several clubs are

willingness to come on if he can ar
