PORTLAND, Ore, Feb. 2.-"He
ain Z a coast CHAMPION" Charles
Labo declared with a derisive twist
of his mustache today, as he spoke
Of Colonel c. w. Kent, California IS
fiddlin wonder.
Funny those California fellers
didn 7 call their little dinky fiddlin'
contest a worlds championship
would be just like 'em."
Labo, with ~ wrinkles for his 72
years, keeps company with a violin
40 years old. "It's played a
lot of tunes and mostly good ones,
and | reckon it II be heard from be-
fore anybody becomes coast cham
pion.''
Labo survived a contest for old
time fiddlers conducted by the Port

out-bowed six other exponents of
hoedown music for the champion
ship of Oregon. He will issue a
challenge to Colonel Kent and Mel
lie Durham of Maine, Henry Ford IS

fiddler.
Maybe he's good enough to be-

PRESIDENT HITS
CRITICS TODAY
VIA SPOKESMAN
tContiued from page ~

his customary practice of answering
specific press questions, and in
stead, spoke from carefully pre-.
pared notes covering the general
domestic and foreign situation.
No League ENHANCEMENT
In the Presidents opinion, Amer
lean adherence to the world court
is evidence that the United States
does not intend to join the league
He holds that there is wide differ
ence between the world court proto-
col, to which this country is adher-
ing. and the entirely distinct and
separate League of Nations coven-
ant, as set forth in his message to
congress.
On the other hand, the President
laments the effort of certain groups
to interpret American adherence to
the world court as of little or no
significance. He thinks that such
adherence will be very helpful and
will be accepted as such by other ma
tions as a desire by this government
to depend upon arbitration and in
ternational law.
Criticizes Jingo Groups
In line with the President IS Min
neapolis and Des Moines speeches,
the spokesman criticized army and
navy groups who charge that the
defenses of the country are in serious
condition in order to force through
congress larger defense appropria-
tions. The President wants the pub
lie to discount such statements and
accept his assurances that present
national defenses are adequate.
He believes that $4,000. 900. 900
appropriated in the past six years
for national defense have been wise
ly expended and resulted in an ade-
quate army and navy.

 Possibly Peters never will equal the many remarkable feats that Grange scattered over his three years of college football, but there is no denying he is quite player
 They have way of making these outstanding grid stars at Illinois. There are some who insist that Mike Tobin. who slings mean pen as university. news man. is as much re- sponsihlo as Coach Zuppke. This is stoutiy denied by Tohin, who insists that he tells only the truth in relating the deeds Of the Z0ppke developed athletes.
 While Frosty" Peters is re- sarded by Coach Zuppke as one of the best all-round backheId stars that ever graccd an riini team. his speciality is drop-kiching.
 Against iowa, Frosty" pulled his stuff by scoring two goals from the field He gave Illinois the winning margin through his kicking:
 Michigan feared him. However, he failed to trouble Yost'S team, largely because he seldom was within striking distance of the goal. He was kicking from around the 40Eard line most of the time in an effort to score goal from field. His kicks had the distance but were wide.
 While it is generally known that Peters holds the worlds record for kicking, the facts in the case are here given for the first time, with Peters supplying the informa- ton:
 ''I was q member of the Montana State freshman team when I made r successful drop kicks in a game with the Billings (Mont.) Polytoch- mic Institute.

 We scored G4 points on Billings and my IT drop kicks were TO- sponSihle for 57 of them. They were all made from distances rang ing from 10 10 2S yards.
