ating notifications of existing rules in individual schedules"
 The employees representatives ac- cepted the proposition i'll good faith and met the managers committee, thinking that the plan would expedite
 matters in closing scales with the in dividual carriers.
 The employees found, however, that the managers committee had no real power and was bent only on jockeying the, men into an unfavorab1e position. The employees representatives thete- upon withdrew with the idea of pur- suing their time-honored custom of making agreements on the individual properties.
 Managers Seek Aid of Hooper.
 The western managers thereupon Iset up a great hullabaloo and rushed frantically to their friend, Ben w. Hooper, chairman of the United States Railroad Labor Board, and asked him to take charge of matters saying that the dispute was likely to substan- tially interrupt interstate commerce"
 Hooper summoned 102 general chair men and officers of the two brother hoods to appear forthwith before his board. The men refused to comply saying that the Transportation act of 1920, under which Hooper's board acted, guaranteed both employees and carriers ample time and opportunity to negotiate; that no strike vote had been taken; that If 1t came to show down the employees would arbitrate under the Newland act, which would guarantee definite settlement; that the Railroad Labor Board had no power to settle anything anyway and that all Hooper was trying to do was to make some work for his board so that he could offer an excuse for the expenditure of $4O0,O00 year for the upkeep of the board, and "that its chairman (Hoop- Ier) has repeatedly and gratuitously made public attacks upon the repre- sentatiyes of the employees and upon the policies of their organizations and has disqualified himself from acting as an arbitrator in controversies between railway employees and carriers"
 Kirkland Named to Help Hooper.
 It is presumed that Chairman Hoop |er took counsel with Colonel Robert R. Mccormick, editor of the Chicago Tribune, who practices law as side line It is not definitely known what transpired between these two eminent II yrespectab1e and staunch supporters of the G. O. F., but at any rate Hooper raced off to Washington and had Wey- mouth Kirkland, law partner of Colonel Mccormick, appointed an as sistant attorney general of the United States to help him out with the recall citrant railroad brotherhoods.
 Of the 1O2 general chairmen and grand officers involved, Kirkland picked out two men to be the victims. These men are David B. Robertson of Cleve- land, Ohio, president of the Brother hood of Locomotive Bremen and En-

Experts recognize that our Scandi-

aptitude for and experience in the

out that the results demonstrate the
thoroughness with which these coun-

efforts. This intensive preparation,
amounting to more of national pro-
gram than in this country, is expect
I ed to result in better competition for
honorS than ever.
The lesson of the 1924 Olympic open

Americas plans, is that efforts must

Any coach feels that the final re-
sponsibility for a team in action be-
longs to him. That means his team
plays extensively or defensively by
a prearranged plan or system as a
result of the coach's skill and ex-
perience. 1t demands the good ex-
ecution of all fundamentals and
team play. Also, any coach insists
that the selection and substitution
of plays be his right. Otherwise, he
would not really be the coach.
A coach has the opportunity to di-
rect his team in action by advice
before d game, between halves and
by sending in substitutes with in
structions. Often situations arise
during the play that must be met
Immediately and the coach, from
the sidelines, although knowing the
remedy. does not wish to break up
his combination by sending in new
man with instructions. 1t is then up
to the captain to take time out
and solve the difficulty with his
teammates, and a coach should be
pleased to have a captain who
tackles this job quickly and boldly.
