No Objection to
Football Games
BY the "Play System"

Cambridge, Mass. March 24-(Ap)
The football rules committee has no
objection to the playing Of games by
the play system" If the teams agree
to the plan, it was said today by Fred
w. Moore. graduate treasurer of ath-
letics at Harvard. After declining to
incorporate regulations for the sys-
tenn of rules; the committee at its re-
cent meeting voted that 1t would
have no objection to teams running
their games by plays instead Of time,
Mr.. Moore said.
The new rule imposing five yard
penalty for each incompleted pass at
ter the first one will not appreciably
cut down indiscriminate passing at
the end of game, Mr.. Moore said.
He took occasion to state that he had
been misunderstood In his comment
upon the new rule. He made 1t clear
that he does not believe that a team
that is behind would forego eleventh
hour gambling by means of forward
passes because they might entail q
penalty Of FIVE yards, or even more.
The real purpose Of the rule, Mr..
Moore said. Is to balance the game
and check the over-use Of the for
ward pass throughout the game.

the second time in their eventful

bers of the freshmen team to whom
they have awarded numerals. The
varsity letter is given for hockey as

letic authorities some time ago. The
season this year was interrupted by
storms and ice conditions and what
looked like the best Colby team in
the history of the sport here failed
to win the championship. There are
but three of the men awarded let
tiers who graduate in June and this
leaves the two defense men and the
center as nucleus for the team next
winter. Captain elect Gould at CEN
ter, Peacock and Drummond in the
defense positions are the remaining
men who will be available for the
next season and the freshman team
sohuld furnish enough talent to make
a good team.
But six members Of the varsity
squad were awarded letters and six
men on the freshman team were CIV
en- numerals.
The following members Of the var
sity team received the varsity c:
Captain Harry Muir, '26 of North

figures for years, appear to be riding
rails at the moment, instead of
horses.
Close upon the Punishment of four
of the little fellows by the racing
authorities of Kentucky comes an
nouncement from the Jockey Club,
which controls New York State
tracks, that L. Mark Fator and Clar-
ence Hummer are under a cloud of
some sort. Their requests for licenses
have been laid on the table, equiva-
lent in many instances to denial.
Fator's situation is apparent, for
he was ruled off the Empire City
course last October after a question
able ride on Siren. But racing fol-
lowers are unable to explain the at
titude towards Hummer, who rode
Man O. War and has been considered
one Of the leaders in his profession
for almost a decade.
Hummer is under contract to J. F.
and E. M. Byers Of Pittsburgh, while
Fator performs for the Rancocas
Stable.
Mark Fator is one Of the riding
Fators" but never has achieved the
success enjoyed by his brother, La
verne, who also rides for Harry Sin
clair's Rancocas Stable. Records
have not proved a statement attri-
buted to Laverne that Mark is a bet
ter horseman.
Hummer, recognized as one of the
greatest of finishers, has captured
about every stake race in the East
with the exception of the Kentucky
Derby and the Belmont futurity.
Among his mounts have been Man
O. War. John P. Grier, Ladkin and
Audacious. In his career he has ac-
counted for more than ambition
dollars in purses.
His greatest performances, which
still are recalled by the racing
world, were accomplished astride the
record breaking Man O. War in 1921
and he himself has said that the
greatest thrills he ever gained were
his victories over John P. Grier and
Epinard, the marvellous horse of
France. With the three year old
champion he established two records
and won the Breakness, Witherr.
Belmont, Dwyer and Lawrence Real
ization.

Many Youngsters
Hook on in Southern
Training Camp Tests

New ork, Mar. Z4.-tAP)-In-
field reconstruction, problems OF
many major league baseball teams,
has reached it's final stage with a
general atmosphere of managerial
satisfaction over the training camp
tests of eXtravagant minor league
purchases.
The struggle Of high priced re-
cruitS against veteran campalgnefs
for positions in the pivotal comblna-
lions around second base has found
Youngsters more than holding their
own. AS q matter of TACT, the
teams will make the training camp
exodus with nine keystone changes
in prospect for the seasons opening.
The New York Yankees will dis
play a brand new outfit in Mark
Koenig and Tony Lazarre. The De-
troit Tigers have given Gehringer
their Toronto purchase, the call over
Frank O'Rourke at second base,
while Hunnefield has apparently
nosed out the veteran Everett Scott
as first string White SoX shortstop.
Buddy Myers, promising Wash
ington infielder, has been regularly
appearing at shortstop for the SEN
ators. although Manager Bucky Har-
rir announced in mid-winter he eX-
pected to start the veteran Roger
Peckinpaugh. Sturgeon, regular
second sacker of the Cleveland In
dams, is being pressed by promis-
ing recruit in Guy Lackey.
At the camp of the champion Pr
rates, a three-cornered second base
fight has been in progress with Hal
Rhyme, Pacific coast find, making
strong impression on Manager Nc
Kechnie, although Johnny Rawlings
or Eddie Moore may get the call.
Illness Of Johnny Butler and fall
ure of Rabbit Meanwhile to play up
to expectations worries Manager
Wilbert Robinson of the Robins.
Standaert looms as an infield GER
tainty, either at second or third
base. Butler is expected to be fix
ture when his health returns, but
the Dodgers are still highly uncer-
tain Of their opening lineup.
There may be a few third base
changes, Riconda having made an
impression on Manager Bancroft of
the Braves and Hodapp having
pressed Lutzke closely for the same
job with Cleveland.

FIGHTING EDITOR

Critic of Governmental System
in Virgin Islands Guilty
of EmbeZZlement.
(Preston News Service)

st. Thomas, Virgin Islands, May Z
-Rothschild Francis, editor of the
Emancipation, a vigorous newspaper,
who has been a strong critic of the
present system of government in the
Virgin Islands, has been convicted
and sentenced to prison for one year
on charge of embezzlement. Francis
has appealed the case.
In 1924 Francis published a criti-
cism of the police and Federal Court
of the Virgin Islands, as result of
what he termed the brutal quelling
of a street fight in st. Thomas. He
was sentenced to 80 days imprison-

court and 80 days Imprisonment for

In February 1925, the Circuit Court

Scored in Talk Before Segre-

Birmingham, Ala.-The speech of
DR.. w. w. Alexander, Georgian MEM
ber of the Interracial Department of
the National Council of Religious
Education, which met here recently,
was characteristized as one of the
boldest and fairest attacks on the in
tolerance of the American white
against Negro citizens that has been
made in the south.
Speaking on racial intolerance, DR.
Alexander declared:
"In the United States there are
100, 100000 white and 100000
Negroes. This majority has decided
how the minority shall travel, what
education advantages it shall have
what justice it shall have in the
courts and where it shall live.
Negroes are told where they must
ride on trains and it is always in the
most dangerous coaches, although
they pay the same fare as others. In
the South we have separate schools
for our Negroes. We spend $29.75
per year for each white child in these
schools and $7.12 for each Negro.
"In northern universities Negroes
are Stunned and often never called
upon to recite in class. In Indian
apolis and other northern cities, Ne
groes live in territories three times
too small for them.
Negroes do not get justice in the
courts because folks say it won't dc
to convict a white man on evidence
submitted by Negro.
"A country that cannot guarantee
protection to every individual by law
will ultimately not be safe country
in which to live.
81 do not advocate inter-mar-
riages; that is not necessary to Chris
tian solution of the problem. Jesus
Christ taught respect for personality
and the final rule by which person
ality will be judged is not race but
character. That race will be su-
preme which is most capable of be-
ing Christ-like. Loving humanity
being true Christians is to wish ev-
cry race to have the fullest possible
advancement which is possible.
