the terms of te cigarette tax law, and
the dealers must pay the 1.cent stamp

take this phase of the new law, which
becomes effective next month. into the

FRANCES victory in the Davis

Indiana won more points in the

WASHINGTON, Ind, Dec. 81
Facing a wagelesS New Year, teach
ers in the Alfordsville High School
threatened today to strike Monday if
they are not paid their salaries,
several weeks overdue. Students
now are on holiday vacation.
School officials said it would be
impossible to meet their demands.
Clyde Jackman. township trustee,
declared today that the school fund
is overdrawn $4,000 already, and the
teachers would have to wait until
additional funds are available. If
present teachers strike. they will be
discharged and new ones hired, he
added.
Finances have troubled the Al

their strike threat is the most drastic
action they ever have taken. jack

that insufficient appropriations

States out Of the wreckage Of a once
great machine.
Tilden's attempt to come back was
one of the most interesting features
of the year even if it was dis
appointing from an American
standpoint The former worlds
champion devoted almost an entire
year to the attempt He went to
Europe early in the year with Frank
Hunter and they visited practically
every foreign country where tennis
was played. They made a fine rec
ord, but they fell short in the big
tournaments.
Miss Helen Wills, the charming
young California girl. kept the
United States from falling into a
complete disaster by winning the
British and American national
championships and by earning the
undisputed title as the worlds
greatest woman player.
France, if so disposed, might dis
pute the recognition of Miss Wills as
the greatest of all women players
and might hold Mile. Suzanne Leng-
len as the still reigning queen, but
the French star is a professional
and the amateur honors at least,
belong to the California girl.
While Bill Tilden and Bill John
ston slipped badly during the year,
Miss Wills played the best tennis of
her career and as brilliant as she
showed herself the competition was
not keen enough to force her to call
upon the reserve game that critics
believe she possesses.
Miss Betty NuthalI, the pretty
little English girl, was one of the
outstanding figures of the year.
She fought her way through hard
competition at Forest Hills and
became the finalist for the Ameri-
can championship against Miss
Wills.
She is still almost a child and her
game has been developed so soundly
and so swiftly that England has
hopes of a worlds championship
in her.

Miss Helen Jacobs we're two Of the

do anything sensational.

champion, came to the United

Coaches Go on Record Unfavorable
to Lateral Passes, Fumbled Punts
No Radical Changes in Grid Code; Shift and Position Of
Goal Posts Are Endorsed.

AS for the rules. there is not likely
to be any radical changes. Most of
the objection to the present rules
centers around the lateral pass
The coaches passed a recommend
alton by vote of Sc to 10 to restore
the lateral pass to it's 1926 status
which would prevent a backward
pass from being ruled dead at the
point where it strikes the ground.
A heated debate developed on the
fumbled punt, but the coaches
passed a recommendation by vote
of 81 to 35 that the fumbled punt
be returned to its 1926 status.
The shift and the position of the
goal posts received the unqualified
Endorsement Of the coaches.
These recommendations will come
up before the rules committee at
its annual meeting, which probably
will take place here on the last Sat-
urday in January. All members of
the committee have agreed on this
date, although Chairman E. K. Hall
has not made an official announce
ment to that effect.
The coaches will have more to
say about football legislation next
year than ever before. Besides hav-
ing five members on the reorgan-
ized rules committee, Chairman Hall
has invited three observers from
the Coaches Association to sit with
the committee.
These three men. Knute Rockne
of Notre Dame, Hugo Bezdek of
Penn State and William Spaulding
of the southern branch of the Uni
versity Of California, are expected
to use their influence, which is not
little, to keep the game where it is
and prevent any radical changes.
