obtain a delegation composed of many
men friendly to himself and ready to
follow his leadership. In this cOnnec-
ton, it may be remembered that Mr..
Taggart is no longer in control of the
Democratic organization of the State;
that two years ago a group of younger
Democrats took the bit in their teeth
and put in State chairman over the
Taggart candidate. But Mr.. Taggart
has not sulked in his tent. He has
gone along with the victors. He has
played the game and played it with
out any double-crossing. SO he will
go into the next Democratic national
convention still power. And If Mr..
Woollen's candidacy for the presiden-
tial nomination gets nowhere, Mr.
Taggart may yet emerge with the
delegation in his vest pocket, so to
speak.
Indiana, where the Ku Klux Klan
was organized in the last few years
on a greater scale perhaps than in
any other State, can scarcely be
reckoned an Al Smith stronghold.
If the New York Governor is to
obtain support in the next conven-
ton from Indiana, the thing must be
handled carefully. 1t is not beyond
the possibilities, indeed, that Tom
Taggart, even if Woollen Is not sue
cessful may swing to some candi-
date other than Smith, if the Smith
candidacy does not look good to him
at the time. 1t has been reported
now and then that Taggart is
Catholic, but this is denied by Indi-
anans here in Washington, who know
the former Senator intimately. He
has no family connection with that

It is pretty clear, at all events, that

party organization, which he no
longer controls, might turn him down
cold. BY adopting the favorite son
method, Taggart not only keeps him.
self in good trim with the organiza-
ton. but he also renders the party
a service by preventing trouble
among the Hoosier Democrats in the
preconvention campaign.
Evans WOollen is a man of wealth,
a banker of high standing in the Mid
die West, and might have been Sec
retary of the Treasury during the
Wilson administration if personal rea-
sons had not caused him to look
askance at an offer to take the job.
He is highly regarded in Indiana by
Republicans and Democrats alike. He
labors under one handicap, however
in the race for the nomination next
year. He was defeated last year in
the senatorial election by Senator Rob-
inson Republican. This leaves him
in much the same position as former
Senator Pomerene of Ohio, for ex-
ample, who lost out in a Senate fight,
too, last year. Mr.. Woollen is geo
graphically happily located, if the
Democrats are to make bid for the
Presidency in the West and the South.
Indiana is. in part. at least, included
in the corn belt" and is an agricul-
tural State as well as Industrial. Even
though he is a banker, he will, 1t is
said, have the support of many farm
ers and farm organizations when the
time comes for the election, If he be
nominated.

the Senate had confirmed Grant and
he was now restored to his former

with cheers. Everybody looked around
for Tama Jim, the man who had made
all this possible, but he was nowhere
to be seen. His spirit, however, still
ruled the House.
Il suppose the Speaker did adjourn
the House, or perhaps it just ad-

Democrat in brotherly love, the bit

has been living under artificial respira-

thought he would get well.
'Yes, do he replied.
Boothe, whose body is practically
paralyzed, is resolute, cheerful and
confident.
He has the most remarkable way
of coming back after having sinking
spells. Time and again physicians
have despaired of his life, but he has
rallied and come up with a smile.
Yesterday he had a fairly good day
or it. He took nourishment, his pulse
was around 20, his heart action good

his condition became so grave that
those in attendance gave him up. This

The success of the suggested inter

he said, depended on the good pur-

Mr.. Robinson expressed the belief that

Sees British Rubber Discrimination
Mr.. Robinson also replied TO a
declaration by Sir Max Muspratt,
British delegate, that the British re.
strictions on the output of rubber did
not constitute discrimination in favor
of Great Britain.
Sir Max had stated that the rubber
restrictions were merely introduced to
assure the continuous supply of raw
material essential 10 modern industry.
Mr. Robinson, after delivering a set
speech outlining economic conditions
in the United States, departed from
his text to refer to the rubber ques-
ton
He had no intention. he said, OF
discussing the difficulties involved in
restrictions on production under gov.
ernmental supervision, but he wanted
to say that this British comment
puzzled him.
Il cannot clearly see" he con-
tinued, how restrictions on output
could assure continuity of supply al
high level and prove Of ultimate
benefit TO the world"
He wondered whether the fact that

country (meanirg the United States)
while the country controlling the re
strictions consumes only per cent OF
the total supply. might not be look

STURDY CREW MATERIAL
NOW AVAILABLE AT NAVY

ANNAPOLIS, December S.-With
the champion plebe crew of last year,
winner of the Freshmen event at
Poughkeepsie, Intact and it's members
all candidates for the Naval Academy
varsity this year, Coach Glendon, the
elder, will have a big problem to de-
eide whether a number of powerful
and experienced oarsmen should break
into that combination.
This is the big question for the
coach with one of the most important
rowing seasons approaching, when,
for the first time, the Naval Acade,
my will enter the Poughkeepsie re-
gatta and the Olympic eliminations in
the same season.
The plebes, coached by Lieut.. Buck
Walsh, had a big season last year.
They won all of their races, generally
in better time than the winner of the
varsity event, and crowned their sea-
sons work by taking the Freshmen
event at Pougskeepsie.
The Plebes of last year are, of
course, a year older this season, and
most of them have gained materially
in weight and strength. Moreover,
they have the impulse of continuous
victory behind them. Under the cir
cumstances, it is a serious matter to
break the combination.
On the other hand, Glendon has a
half dozen, or more, Of unusually pow
erful varsity candidates from other
classes, most of whom have had the
benefit of one or two seasons in the
varsity boat. 1t will be just as hard
to keep some of these out of the Navy
varsity during the coming season.
There is not much doubt that Bag.
danovich, who has been named as
captain, will get a seat. He has rowed
one year as plebe and two as var
sity crew man and also is a regular

tackle on the eleven. Weighing 1872
pounds, very powerful and ideally
built for an oarsman, 1t would be re-
markable If anything kept the crew
captain out Of the boat this year.
The squad has another veteran oars
man in Broadbent, who has had the
same rowing experience as Bagdano-
vich. However, he was kept out of
the sport last year on account of a
foot ball injury. He is In good shape
this year and again a candidate for
the crew. Broadbent weighs 1856
pounds and also has the rowing build.
In addition to these two, Lincoln
and Anderson, from last years var.
sity, remain. Both were good oars
men and should be stronger and bet
ter this season.. Anderson, who rowed
at No. Z. was doing particularly we'll,
but an injury to his back compelled
him to give up rowing just before the
final race. He is believed to be in
good shape now.
Woerner and Hardin, guard and
center, respectively, on the eleven, will
devote themselves to rowing for the
rest of the year. Both are powerful
youths and have done some rowing.
Woerner weighs 1876 pounds, though
he probably win lose little Of 1t with
his rowing, and is probably the strong
est student in the Naval Academy. His
presence in the waist Of the boat
would mean much.
With good crew ready at hand,
but with number of experienced and
powerful oarsmen in addition, the
elder Glendon has quite problem on
his hands. However, with his re.
markable ability to pick the best oars
men, there is no doubt that he will
solve it in way to assure the
strongest possible crew for the Naval
Academy this year.

Goal Shooting Idea
Kept Kansas at Top

When Coach Fog" Aliens Uni
versity of Kansas basket ball five
won the Missouri Valley champion
ship last Winter for the sixth con.
secutive time. all eyes were turned
in his direction. Followers of a
game make no mistake in studying
the system of a consistent winner.
Aliens teams win because they
know how to score baskets. And
they know how to drop them lin
because Allen knows how to teach
them.
One of the points Alien drives
home is to make each player Wis
ualize the arc a ball must be shot
in order to ring a basket. He sta
tions man 25 feet from the bas-
ket and asks him to vision a point
20 feet above him, then cast an
imaginary line from that point to
the basket. To get rebound shot
from any point within 25 feet, the
highest arc of the shot will inter
sect this imaginary line. The near
er the shooter is to the basket,
the lower down will be the point
of intersection of the arc of his
shot with this imaginary line.
Bear this idea in mind in shoot.
ing. Allen says that 100 free
throws and practice shots a day
are about the right number to en-
ploy. Another great court coach is
DR.. Meanwell of Wisconsin. In the
next article his scheme for speed
