AhStOli, ~ DE-, hdECl GO.-tAHD-
Princeton has begun a drive against
, roadhouses and hot dog" stands In
! the college zone in an effort to con-
. troll Illicit sale of liquor to under
graduates.
At the same time the University is
continuing its fight against the pos
session of automobiles by undergrad
yates which the college authorities
feel goes hand in hand with the IL
| legal liquor evil throughout the
United States.
Dean Christian NJ. Gauss has ap-
pealed to Federal authorities at Tren-
ton to wipe out string of dives
where he believes liquor is being
sold to undergraduates. His action
followed closely several student
brushes with the police and an auto
mobile accident in which a Long
branch school teacher was killed and
a student seriously injured.
Sunday night two students were
arrested by state troopers and fined
after charges of being drunk and dis
orderly and borrowing an automobile
without permission had been filed
against them. The automobile was
run into ditch. John j. Reshek.
another student, was injured and
and Miss Lois Underhill of Long
branch, was killed later when their
automobile plunged down an en-
bankment near Freehold. Police are

tie found in the wrecked car, DR.,
Gauss yesterday consulted Judges
Bodine and Clark of the United
States district court and Federal At
torney Winnie and is understood to
have turned over to them a list of
"hot dog stands and roadhouses
which will be the subject of an i'm
mediate drive.
Recently DR.. Gauss stirred educa-
tional circles by declaring in a speech
before the Princeton Club of st.
Louis, Mo-, that the prohibition
, amendment was lowering morals in
American universities and should be
modified.
What I personally think of the
| Volstead act is of no moment" Dean
Gauss said last night. 1T is the law
and as long as it is the law it should
be enforced"
"The Illicit drink evil, as il now
| exists and the undergraduate auto
mobile nuisance go hand in hand
| throughout the country" he said.
THE Princeton authorities have
| requested that parents withdraw
from undergraduate the permission
! to own and drive cars while in resi-

Chairman Rules
Committee Defends
Rules on Aerial Game

7 New York, Mar. % (AP)-The be-
lief among numerous coaches that the
new football penalizing incompleted
forward passes will rob the gridiron
game of many of it's spectacular
! aerial features is not shared by Ed
ward X. Hall of New York, chairman
of the football rules committee.
Discussing today the new rule, I'M
der which team making more than
one incompleted pass is set back five
yards for each attempt, Mr. Hall ex-
pressed to The Associated Press his
conviction that it will not hamper
any well developed aerial attack.
such as those exhibited last season
by Dartmouth, Michigan, Princeton
and Washington.
Mr.. Hall emphasized that the rule
is aimed solely at the ipdiscriminate
passing efforts of teams which use
this mode of attack as a last minute
resort. AS a matter of fact he indi-
Gated that, in the rules committees
opinion, the only question Is whether
the penalty decided upon is severe
enough to check the ILL conceived
type of passing.
Discussing the general situation
which prompted the rules commit
ee's decision, Mr.. Hall asserted that
''the indiscriminate heaving of a Sc
ries of wild forward passes in the
blind hope that one of them may
possibly connect with some one. some
where eligible to receive it is not
good football; in fact, not football at
ALL"
. In the opinion Of DIR. Edward j.
Bryan of Tufts, prominent gridiron
official and a member of the advis-
DRY committee of the rules commit
tee, the new rule will keep teams
which do not know how to pass from
spelling the game"

Cony High Of Augusta and Water
Vile High school have attracted the
larger part of the attention in ath-
letics in Kennebec county for the
past year. Cony had one of the lead
ing football teams of the county and
were touted as one of the tate
leaders, but bowed to Waterville dur
ing the latter part of the season. Wa
terville held Cony to tie in hockey
and beat the Red and White in
basketball on the Waterville floor
and these contests were among the
best attended for the year.
However, while Waterville and
Cony were giving the top notchers in
the State plenty to think about there
are two other schools in the county
which, with a very small student
body are capable of playing way out
of their class as far as athletics are
concerned.
Winslow had good football team,
a very good basketball team and will
without doubt have a strong base
ball team. The school is small but
has shown very well against the lar
ger institutions and deserves regu-
lar place on the schedules of the lar
ger schools. They have the goods
and have shown it consistently
enough to demand attention from the
best in the State.
Another school which has a very
small school body and a very capable
body of athletes is Hallowell. The
football team last year was a terror
to schools of its own size and was
capable of making a good showing
against schools much larger. In
baseball last spring they tied for first
honors in : the Kennebec Valley
league with Cony high school and
last winter with four regulars out
of the game the basketball team held
Morse to a hollow victory.
The main idea of the repeated sue
cess of these teams is their love fol
athletics and the whole hearted sup
port of the student body and towns
people behind them. No matter how
good team is little bit of enthus-
iastic support helps them to be better
and many of the larger schools could
i follow the example of Hallowell and
Winslow with no i'll effects.
