HEARINGS
SECRET
High School Athletes Standing
to Be Discussed in Star
Chamber.

Lines were drawn today for
the biggest eligibility battle in
the history of Washington high
school athletics.
Central High School officials
are preparing to enter the lists
in behalf of Vincent William
Plumpton, football player during
the past season at that institu-
ton. S. Duncan Bradley, presi.
dent of the Home and School
Association of Western High
School and local attorney, is
awaiting an expected call from
the board of high school princi-
pals, before whom he is ready to
repeat his charges that Plumpton
is a professional prizefighter, in
eligible to engage in amateur
sports, and that he further was
enrolled as a special student at
Central, and was therefore len
dered specifically ineligible also.
Robert A. Maurer, principal OF
trict High School gridiron cham
ton denouement, emphatically man
tains that Centrars skirts are clean
in this matter, whatever the out
come of the case.
The ''C' Club, composed Of hold
ers of the big white &c" gained
from athletic triumphs on Central
teams of the past, will! back that
institution to the limit lin what
ever action II takes" william s.
Boteler, president. promised last
night, announcing a meeting of the
executive committee tomorrow eve
ming.
To Meet In Secret.
1t will be the board of principals.
sitting in executive session, that will
handle the Plumpton case. There IL
some possibility that sessions will
commence tomorrow. though this Is
contingent on several factors In the
situation. First, Plumpton is still
in hospital recovering from an apen.
dectomy, and II is felt that he
should be present. Second, the
chairman of the board, Allan Davis,
principal Of Business High, is still
arranging for appearance of wit
nesses and taking Of testimony.
Davis explained that the star
chamber method dear to the Board
of Education would be operative in
the Plumpton Investigation, because
1t would be wrong to authorize pub
lication Of charges prior to submis.
sion Of a rebuttal. He said a
spokesman would be named. how
ever. to issue communiques II
thought desirable.
Coaches Give Views.
Central football coaches view the
matter from the occupational angle;
that is, they consider the possible
loss Of 'the championship. James
Acorn. assistant coach, said last
night: "a.
"Plumpton wasn't very valuable
man anyway: he didn't even make
the all-hiyh team" -
He played only in the later
games, and just In part Of those. "
said Tom Kirby. coach. HE could
not by any means be designated as
having won the championship for
Central. AS to his having par
ticipated in boxing bouts for which
he received money, that is not
true.". o.

New Oakland

In the New Oakland 6-44 Models YOU will find many Improvements both in chassis construction and body design. These improvements have added much to their attractiveness as well as to the enjoyment and econo, my of their operation.
 The greatest achievement you will find in the New Oakland is the i'm proved Oakland SiX-Cylinder over fully smooth running, troubIe-free mo- tor possessing the power and fiexibil- ity such as only Six can have. Yet it is as economical to operate as most -fFours."
 During the past year many new features have been incorporated in this engine-improveme which rep resent definite advance in the science of motor construction. For ed'' to a glass-like smoothness and fitted with oil-sealing piston rings of exclusive design. The camshaft and generator are now driven by an ad- unstable Morse chain which is silent and positive in action. The Marvel carburetor Is used with exhaust heat jacket and adjustable hot air stove.
 The satisfaction which can be ex- from this engine is further em phasized by the 15,O00-miIe special written guara antee against surplus oil in combustion chambers, which is given to every purchaser of the New 6-44 Oakland. The models are on exhibition at Pow1ette & Co., Inc, saIesroonf, GAP Fairfield avenue. Fred Mills of the F. L.
