ASK ALLEY CASE REVIEW.
Counsel for Commissioners Oppose
Ruling of Lower Court.

The District Court of Appeals was
asked yesterday by the District Com
missioners for a writ of error to the
Police Court for review of the de-
cision of Judge Schuldt in the alley
law cases. The Police Court sustained
demurrers of owners Of dwellings in
alleys on the theory that the limita-
tiOns as to water, gas and sewer re-
quirements set ont in the law applied
to the alleyWayS and not to the dwell
ings. This ruling, the commissioners
contend. renders the law useless for
the purpose of ridding the alleys of

The commissioners point out that
there Is scarcely any alley in the Dis
trict which is not equipped with one
Of the requirements mentioned in the
law. and if the ruling is followed the

WOMAN JUDGE FAVORS
COTTON TO CUT DIVORCES
Clothing of That Material Will
Produce More Contentment
Than Silk, She Says.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, October 2S.-
The adoption of more cotton clothing
by Southern women would decrease
work for the divorce courts, in the
opinion of Judge Virginia Henry May
field of the Domestic Relations Court
Of Jefferson County.
Judge Mayfield. the only woman
jurist in the South. believes a return
to the styles of the past would serve
81 double purpOse-contentmen in the
home and aid to the cotton planter.
The use of more cotton and less
silk" the woman jurist said might
really be the cause of a little more
contentmert in the average home and
little less work for our divorce
courts. Certainly the clothing would
cost less"

VISUAL FOOT BALL
By
WALLACE WADE and SOL METZGER

A former Navy team was probably
first to use the spiral pass when
punting 1t gets the ball back bit
faster and feeds it to the kicker at
the angle he holds it. Almost all the
teams use it on this play today.
Some use it on all passes, even short
ones.
To make spiral pass a center
passes the ball back through his legs
as he would in making a forward
pass. That is. the grip is the same.
He extends his arms we'll in front of
him Figure u and whips them straight
back between his legs 0igure p. He
Immediately charges. Great centers
like Garbisch, Army al-American
charge as they pass. Sometimes
they block their opponent by hooking
him with their forward leg as they
shoot their body across in front of
him Figure 81, stunt Rockne teaches,
or they drive under him with their
shoulder.
The grip center uses to impart
spiral to the ball is shown in the
Illustration. The right hand is under
the ball, fingers along the laces. The
left hand merely acts as a guide.
A tip for players-Practice passing
at least half an hour day so you
can put the ball at an exact spot
every time. When that is accom-
plished practice charging as YOU pass
Then have a player charge you az
YOU pass, so YOU will become accuS
toned to keeping your mind concen'
trated on making the pass good.
