ATHLETIC STANDARD
is AIM OF COLLEGES
BY WALTER CAMP.

Administration Of Athletics BY
Our Colleges" is the big subject sched-
uled for discussion at the annual
meeting Of the National Collegiate
Association, which convenes at At
lanta, Ga. Friday.
The hope is 10 bring about some
Standardization Of methods.
II is we'll known that there is a
wide diversity in the attempts of fac
ulties to exert control and direction
and that they have found IT dinicult
TO fit physical training and competi-
tive athletics into the general pro-
gram of education.
There is n widespread feeling that
too much money is expended upon the
development of the few, more even
than would be necessary to develop
them to the degree desired: that
many teams would be just as strong
apon a more economical basis. and
that with the enormous receipts a
larger portion of them could be saved
for development of fields and equip
ment for the rank and file.
Princeton's new study plan. Of
which DIR. Hibben says lit appears
that already students have responded
noticeably to the INDEPENDENT system
of research" would be an excellent
example for the athletic side to fol-
low, and II looks as If some of the
colleges would wake up TO the oppor-
tunity.
II has only been recently that the
athletic side of college life has be-
come so yeverorganized with instruc-
tive forces that the individual him
self has little opportunity for devei-
opment OF initiative, and a return to
sanity along these lines will benefit
the individual. the sport and the in
stitution. just as DIR. Hibben finds the
new plan Is, even in six months, bene-
fitting the student.

Application Is Refused.
The council of the Australian asso-

refused the application purely on the
ground that the amateur rule lest it

Austrars comment on the subject
follows:
THE trouble is really IA re-
crudescence of that which arose just

would go. Then he laid down condi-

tion found it could not accede TO.

able him TO keep in the game at no
loss to himself. on his return he
asks from the association $500 for
owing to his absence in America. He
states that he asked 1t for personal
expenses. but he is hardly correct in
saying that. The difference in effect
is small.
Association simply had no alterna-
tive. They had to refuse the appli-
Caticn then, as they had refused II
before. and they thought the tncident
lad closed before the team left. If
the council could have granted IT
they would, no. doubt. have been only
toe glad to do so; but they had no
more right to give $500 to Anderson
than to a man in the street. 1t is
not their money to give away.

The criss-cross is term given to
a style OF footwork employed in the
offense OF basket ball, usually the
short pass attack. The attackers
advance in straight lines and do not
run i'll curves or circles to elude the
guards. The course is from side to
side and obliquely forward, usually
gaining eight to ten feet toward the
goal with each cross.
For this play it is essential that
each time the ball is passed the
thrower follows on in the direction
OF the pass and runs behind the re-
ceiver. The advantages of this shift
ing OF players and of directions are
very definite i'll short pass work.
The constant. rapid shifting Of
men confuses the opposing guards
and renders it very difficult for the
opposing players to single out and
effectually cover any specified oppo-
nent. Again, it insures the recovery
OF majority OF the dropped balls
by the man who follows the pass, he
being in the best position to see and
to secure the tumble. Third, it con-
centrates the men in proximity to
the ball, and SO leads to fast passing
and effective teamwork.

Judge Shumate Denies New
Trial to Slayer of Hiram
Brunts
Case TO HIGH COURT

In the district court last Friday and
Saturday was heard the application of
Bert Taylor, recently convicted by a
Jury of second degree murder, for a
new trial, Taylor's attorney, Merle d.
V ncent of Grand Junction, setting out
several points which he claimed were
error in the former trial.
The motion for a new trial was re
sisted by District Attorney Delaney,
and after listening to the argument on
both sides and examining the authori-
tics cited, Judge Shumate denied the
motion and at once pronounced sen
tence of not less than ten nor more
than eleven years N the state peniten-
tiary. Taylor, through his attorney,
gave notice that he would apply to the
supreme court for supersedeas and
an order for n new trial.
The crime for which Taylor is to
pay the penalty of imprisonment is the
murder on February ;, at the Ed
Boies COW camp in the Plceanee coun-
try, of Hiram Brunts, cowboy friend.
For this offense Taylor was recently
tired in the district court at Meeker,
and jury found him guilty of murder
in the second degree. Taylor testified
that if he killed Brunts it was because
he was so drunk he didn It know what
he was doing, and the jury was appar'
entity influenced toward leniency be-
cause of Taylor's intoxicated condi-
tion at the time. Immediately after
Judge Shumate IS refusal last Saturday
to grant new trial Taylor was taken
into custody by the sheriff of Rio
Banco county and returned to Meeker
and placed in Jail, pending the action
of the supreme court on his application
for n new trial. He has recently been
at liberty on $4,000 bond.

SERIES OFFERED
READERS OF THIS PAPER


a novel series on married life, diff
ferent from anything that we believe
has ever been offered our readers, will
appear in the columns of The Post
starting this week, under the title of
Matrimonial Adventures.
These articles have been written by
twenty-three of the most famous
American writers, both men and wom-
en-, and treat of much neglected part
of real life. They run the whole
gamut of that aspect of life, and many
of them have been composed in a vein
of rare humor. Others treat of the
subject in more serious form.
The nagging wife, the parsimonious
husband and various types of conjugal
affinities are handled with skill. They
will be the most discussed feature that
has been iffered our readers in a
long time, and will be appreciated by
every member of the family beyond
the fairy story age. We urge you to
read every one of them, both for the
instruction and the amusement they
will give you.

BOOTLEGGERS IN PACT
WITH Law OFFICERS

Federal Prohibition Officer j. G.
Richardson returned Wednesday from
a trip to the southern part of the state
where he and w. H. Trimble rounded
up bunch of moonshners and put
them under bonds to answer to the
federal court.
At Silverton they arrested IA vio.
lators of the Volstead act, two of
them being women. and all but one be
ing foreigners, some of them not yet
naturalized citizens of this country
They confiscated 1920 gallons of
mash, 996 gallons of wine, 166 gallons
of whisky and 246 gallons of beer.
The work was not easy, for in Sill
vcrton the officers found that the
moonshiners and bootleggers were in
league with the local officers of the
law to whom they were paying finan-
cial tribute every month for the priv
ilege of violating the law. This was
ostensibly in the nature of fine, but
in reality it was nothing more or less
than a license to carry on an illegal
traffic.

in all reason he could just as well and
perhaps more effectively see the next
morning. 1t is urged THAT he would
not willingly punish himself by start
ing out under these adverse conditions,
except for special purpose.
1t is known that an eastbound
freight train left Glenwood about ten
o clock Monday night, about twenty
to thirty minutes after Loupe would
have reached the Hotel Colorado or
the west end of the Glenwood bridge.
1t is also known that another east
bound freight passed through here
about an hour later The insurance
men admitted that they were taking
up with the railroad authorities the
question as to whether either or both
of these trains were running on slow
orders up the canon past the Selhorst
ranch, and whether either of them
took the siding at Grizzly for meeting
No. l. The point where the Ford was
found is about 500 feet from the north
the D. & r. G. track is less than
and the D. & R. G. track is less than
500 feet from the south end of said
bridge.
The above are the facts, or rather
they are some of the facts or alleged
and suspected facts in connection with
the mysterious and sudden disappear
ance of Walter R. Loupe, about thirty
years of age, insurance solicitor, n
good singer and a very likeable and
popular young man and successful in
his business affairs. They are told
with a desire to be fair to Mr.. Loupe
and to his family and friends, but
with the thought that at time like
this the one great need is the truth,
even though it may hurt or wound to
some extent, but the real question in
this case is, what is the truth? We
have limited at some of the theories
advanced in this case in the hope that
they may aid in the matter of dis
covering the truth. The public must
draw It's own conclusions.
The Glenwood post., 1923-11-01

Trimble and Richardson, of Denver,
yielded twelve alleged prohibition law
violators, 2,420 gallons of grain mash,
996 gallons of wine, 166 gallons Of
whisky and 246 quarts of beer.
Two women were included in the al
legged vioators who came within the
sweep of the dragnet.
The alleged violators were arraigned
before United States Commissioner
Camp and pleaded not guilty. They
were released on bonds varying from
$500 to $1,000. Most of the liquor
was seized in and around Silverton.
Ira Torrey, rs, was the Oldest victim
of the raid. Torrey claims to have
merely allowed Louis Fattor to store
four barrels of mash in his house when
the latter was warned of the raiding
party's approach.
