LIONS SHOW THEIR TEETH
TILT COMES OVER
LAXNESS IN PUBLICITY

There was no regular program at
the Lions club dinner Wednesday
evening. The evening was spent in
combing the new president and
strengthening out the organization for
the coming year.
A clash was staged between Lions
Welch and Stearns. Cub We'ch
growled at the laxness OF publicity
for Delta. He said item after item
was printed in the Montrose papers
and also Grand Junction papers; and
even the Denver papers with date
lines from those towns when the
articles so printed we're pure and
simple items concerning our fair city
and county. Welch showed his teeth
in a most emphatic way and said this
should be remedied.
Cub Stearns was called upon by
President Tilden for an explanation,
and also as to the veracity OF Cub
Welch's charge.
Stearns deplored the dotage OF some
of the Lions and others who he said
were always ready to criticize when
as matter OF fact there was no
criticism due; he also gently raped
some OF the critics for not keeping in.
formed upon matters which were print
ed by the Delta newspapers. He said
from his own knowledge when at
Montrose, and also at Grand Junction,
business men complimented Delta for
many, many things, not alone in our
publicity matters but along other lines.
That the rough-shod tactics enunciat-
ed by Lion Welch II allowed in the
legal circles. would not be sanctioned
by the newspaper fraternity.
Getting down to answering the law
student and jurist, Stearns asserted
some cold facts. For instance, he said.
the story of the Catholic church fire
at Hotchkiss which happened on n
Wednesday was published the follow.
ing week In the Delta papers, and after
lapse OF some IL days the Montrose
daily-with both Associated and Unit.
cd Press service-featured the story

on their front page in large type; then
followed the Grand Junction papers;
and then came the Best Newspaper IN
U. s. A--the Denver Post-featuring
the red hot scoop" Probably the
story has by this time reached the
eastern coast.
Stearns said this was but one Of
the many instances wherein cases OF
the kind had been played up from
nearby publications and swallowed by
the hungry" Delta reader He took
issue with the critic who had brought
up the matter for not giving the Delta
newspapers the once over" at least
Stearns said a little praise for our
home papers, would. in his opinion, le
timely.
AS TO the damper which was put on
to Delta. Stearns said II dates back TO
the 1916 baseball tournament. WHOM
Delta fans threw Frank Newhouse of
the Denver Post out as umpire. New.
house at the time asserted he would
get even with the Delta buncn. and
evidently he is succeeding. The In
fluence undoubtedly is used at every
turn, he remarked.
Peace and harmony prevailed at
the close OF the meeting.

ABOUT THE PAVING BONDS

| The writer thinks the paving bonds
should carry. The crying need in our
city is better streets. If our city is to
progress and Delta is to be made
better city and a finer place to live
we need to fixe our streets. The ma
jority of the property owners on Main
street have signified their willingness
to pay for paving in front of their
| property and for the side streets as
| far back as the alleys. We think it is
only fair that the city as whole as
sumo the expense of paving the street
| intersections. In many other cities in
| Colorado one half of the entire cost
| of paving has been paid by general
| taxation, but in Delta the property
| owners have expressed their willing
| ness to do better than that and ask
| that the city only pay for the actual
| street intersections. If you believe
| in a bigger and better Delta vote for
| the improvement bonds at the cleo
| tion to be held Thursday June 26

THINKS FORWARD
 PASS WILL STAY
Harvard Man However, Sees
 Possible Limitations

Cambridge. Mass, Dec. l8.-Fred W. Moore, graduate treasurer of the Harvard Athleticassocia tion and q member Of the football rules com mlttcc. said today that he felt the present discussion on the menace of the forward pass" was a debatable point, that was likely to be brought up for consideration when the rule makers gather for their annual mid winter session. He said he thought the forward pass was here to stay. but with possible limitations or re- strictions.
 The aim of the football rules committee always has been to keep the game balanced" he said, and fl it is felt that the forward pass is becoming too important a factor, ovorbalancing rushing and kicking, something may be done 10 curb the tendency.
 This seasons returns from foot

 ;Ould indicate that Eemc teams ;eaker in many departments have
 2orcd victories by forward passing. there is no question that the pa6s .s dangerous, and yet l believe that 1t cannot be ruled out of the game without substituting something for it.
 If it is agreed that the forward pass is now too important, then some plan may be reached whereby q pen. an,y could be inflicted for unsucccss- ful passes: say a five or ten yard penalty from ths, point where the ball was put into play, Of course there haze been restrictions on tho , pass from time to time. andI car recall that the rules committee ha! ' discussed the feasibility of infictini a penalty for unsucceS Ssful passes Whether further restrictions are nee e&sary at this time Is a debatablt point. but l can sec merit 10 some oi the suggestions.
 Mr. Moore said he could not agree with opponents of the forward pas' that t was a handicap 10 the. smal college. T believe that the threat Of. tered by the pass is one of the i'm. portant phases Of the present game Snd that 1t would be a mistake tc remove it," he declared. "Tho for. ward pass undoubtedly has aided 1T populnrizing the game, and 1t ha! been proved that players can be eas fly perfected in passing the ball at a baseball coach can develop ; 1 pitcher"

 New York, Dec. 1S,--Intersection- al football, annually growing In im- portance and cemontng gridiron ties from coast to coast, promises to hold unprecedented sway in 1925.
 Already 24 games of major calIbre have been scheduled with indica- tions pointing to this number being doubled by the time playing ar engagements are completed for next fall. One of the outstanding pros- poets is that afforded by increased rivalry between leading eastern elevens and western conference teams, six games falling in this cate gory in 1925, according to lists so far available.
 Chief among these games are the battles which Pennsylvania will stage with Chicago and Illinois on successive Saturdays at Philadelphia. The east will see two of the strong est western conference elevens in ac- tton then, with the famous Red Grange leading the Illlni into the flay.
 Chicago also Is booked for an i'm portant clash at home with Dart mouth. one of the three leading eastern outfits of 1924, while Ohio State will entertain Columbia at Columbia. Navy goes west to meet Michigan at Ann Arbor and Syra- cuse plays Indiana at Indianapolis fin two other star attractions.
 Penn State faces one of the stiff est intersectional programs of any western team, with four contests of this character booked. Georgia Tech will be played at New York while Mariette. Notre Dame and the Michigan Aggies from the west will be met at State College, Pa. Notre Dame also has four inter. sectional games scheduled and leads the west in this angle of competition Penn State has replaced Princeton on the 1925 eastern slate for thr fioosiers. who also will oppose thc ] -Ai Ilt anu N'HI ll' Slt AIfIl hEdTl al'l imyidn the south once more to tack, i Georgia Tech.
