EVOLUTION BATTLE
IS JUST STARTING
Bryan and DarroW Promise
to Garry 0n-Scopes Is
Nearly Overlooked.
BY ROBERT T. SMALL.

DAYTON, Tenn. July 22.-The So
called monkey trial is temporarily at
least a thing of the past, but the
monkey and parrot battle between
Messrs. Clarence Darrow and William
Jennings Bryan appears only to have
been started. Mr.. Bryan was just get
ting warmed up to his work when the
trial was shot from under him. There
was a sudden determination and
agreement between Mr.. Darrow of the
defense and Attorney General Stewart
for the state that no arguments be-
fore the jury were necessary. Every
body wanted a conviction so the issues
might be thrashed out in the higher
courts.
This robbed Mr.. Bryan, however, OF
his chance for a final speech in the
courtroom or on the courthouse lawn
He had prepared such a speech and
has announced he will deliver 1t be-
fore some sort of audience before he
leaves Tennessee. He may choose the
occasion of a visit to the home or the
learned judge who has presided In the
case. at Winchester. during the COM
ing week end.
Scopes Finally Remembered.
In an unexpected rush back to
normalcy the court suddenly remem-
bered that the business before 1t was
to convict and sentence one John
Thomas Scopes for teaching nice little
boys at the high school that men
descended from lower order OF
animals The State said he did IT.
The defense counsel said he did II, the
defendant said he did 1t.
There was such complete unanimity
Of opinion it seemed for time the
jury would be cut off from chance
to function. But the jury eventually
retired and came back and SAID ne
did 1t, and all was well.
Whereupon the defendant. at least
for a moment, came into his place In
the sun. He barred his breast ana.

he had only one liberty to give to his
academic ideals. He intends to live
by those ideals in the future, and II

spoke but a minute or two, but the
boy, after resting in obscurity since
the first day of the trial, showed that

Court appeal has been indicated in
two directions.
Walter White, superintendent of
Rhea County schools and prosecutor
of the case, announced he had drafted
an "anti-evolution bill which he
would ask Representative w. d. Up
shaw of Georgia to introduce in the
Congress. Mr.. Upshaw, however, has
expressed the belief that the question
best could be handled by individual
States, although he was open to
conviction" The question also will
be taken into the Federal Court Of
Tennessee.
Public statements by the principals
marked the conclusion of the trial.
New Counsel Likely.
In connection with the projection
of the appeal 1t was pointed out that
a new lineup of lawyers may be
found when the case is heard.
John r. Neal, as senior counsel, was
expected to represent the defense, but
his associates may not be those who
appeared at Dayton. cambridge Col
by, former Secretary Of State, was not
present at the trial here, but his as
sociates pointed out that he had not
withdrawn. and was still a member
of defense counsel
Frank Thmopson, attorney general
of Tennessee, will by virtue of his Of
flee, represent the State in the case.

UPSHAW HES|TATES
|NEV0LUT|0N FIGHT
Thinks States, Not U. S.,
Should Prohibit Teaching
of "DeviIish Doctrine"
BY the Associated Press.

ATLANTA. Ca. July 22.-Repre-
sentative w. d. Upshaw of Georgia,
who arrived here last night from Dal-
las, Tex. upon being shown press dis
patches from Dayton, Tenn, to the
effect that he was expected to intro
duce in the National Congress an
"anti-evolution bill,' stated that in his
opinion 'it would be better for the
individual States to handle the evolu-
tion teaching matter just as Tennes-
see did"
However. I am open to convic-
tion," added Mr.~Upshaw. He stated
that he wished to confer with leaders
of the anti-evolution movement before
making a definite decision.
Mr.. Upshaw declared that he favored
'the old-time religion" and when first
requested to sponsor in Congress an
antievolution bill had indicated his
approval and consent. Later, he said,
he decided that to allow the States to
make individual laws would be better,
at least for the present.
viii Edit Magazine.
He pointed out that the bill which
Rhea County Superintendent of
Schools White had drafted and wished
him to introduce was not an anti
evolution bill in the sense of pro-
hibiting the teaching of evolution in
the United States, but merely pro-
hibited the teaching of theories of
evolution in schools. which receive
Federal aid.
II suppose / was selected because
of my well known opposition to the
devilish and debasing doctrine that a
militant, God-fearing man has any
monkey blood in his veins, said the
Georgia Representative.
Mr.. Upshaw stated that he expected
to accept an offer just received to be-
come a co-editor of a new national
magazine, whose purpose would be to
fight atheistic evolution and boot
leggers." He did not name the
magazine.

courts.
A petition from Robert M. Wilson,
Rhea Springs taxpayer, is available
for presentation to Federal Court, set
ting forth the contention that the
anti-evoluion statute deprtves him OF
the right to educate properly his chill
dren in the public schools, in violation
of the provisions of the Constitution
of the United States.
Neal has announced that he will
present this petition to Judge Ken
Hicks, United States District Court.
at Knoxville when q favorable op-
portunity offers.
VIII Not Debate.
Bryan in a. statement issued here
early today announced that he would
not consider a debate on any subject
with any person.
He made the announcement, he
said, 'In order to save myself from
numerous letters.
"I have no time for such meetings.
1 have suspended my lecturing and l
have literary work that demands at
tention.
Recently several of my invitations
have mentioned Mr.. Darrow as my
opponent" he said. Il have had a
number of invitations from atheists
and agnostics and have felt less in
clination to accept invitations on
economical and governmental sub
jects.
1.-THE attitude of the atheist or the
agnostic is so completely antagonistic
to the attitude of a believer in Bible
Christianity that we are not likely
to convert each other and less likely
to convert members of the audience
when each comes to the meeting to
support the champion of his side.
Moreover, having heard Mr.. Oar

Judge Raulston began and ended as an
evangelist on the bench. He even
sought to save Darrow. but the job
was too great. He had no sooner told
him to "go and sin no more" when
the unregenerate Chicago lawyer was
throwing brickbats at some of the
Bible stories. Lastly, every one knew
Scopes would be found guilty. but no
one knew of the tribulations which
would precede that happy ending.

FOOT BALL BOTHERED
BY TIES, EXTRA POINT
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, October 29.-When
the foot ball rules committee holds
it's next annual session two ma jor is
sues dealing with the scoring system
in foot ball will be up for renova-
ton. One deals with the indecisive
tie game and the other with extra
point after touchdown.
Agitation against both issues has
developed in all sections of the coun-
try as a result of a wholesale number
of tie games and the great number
of contests decided by the point after
touchdown which, it is claimed by
many critics, put too great a penalty
on a team matching one touchdown
with another.
Foot balls scoring rules are unique,
in that they provide no relief for the
tie game. No other major American
college sport outside of track and field
fails to supply a means of breaking
deadlocks.
The extra point after touchdown
was incorporated in the play with the
lidea of breaking ties, but it does not
appear to be generally effective
In the East this year IA games have
resulted in tie score while have been
decided by the extra point after touch
down.
While opponents of the extra point
after touchdown feel that there is
little likelihood of any change in this
ruling next year, they contend the
rule makers will endeavor to bring
about a satisfactory solution of the
tie game problem.

FOOT BALL SECRETS
Sol Metzger-
GROUNDING a FORWARD PASS.

Always use both hands i'm batting
forward pass to the ground. Many
times a player i'm intercepting pass
will have to leap into the air in order
to knock down the ball. As n result,
his vision is not as clear as when he
is stationary. All too frequently a
player batting down a forward pass
by the opposition uses one hand to
hit the ball. When this is done,
player sometimes fails to strike 1t
and the pass is completed. Use both
hands and arms. because they cover
a much wider area and it is almost
impossible for the player blocking
pass in this way to miss the ball.
