BERLIN, Oct. 3-Not since the
heyday of the reign of the former
Kaiser has Germany witnessed such
outbursts of popular enthusiasm as
occurred on the occasion of Presi-
dent Won Hindenberg's eightieth
birthday, which was celebrated Sun
day.
Millions of flags fluttered from
housetops throughout the county,
while thousands of celebrations
were held, eliminating in festivities
at Berlin, where the aged president
drew crowds such as even the Kali
ser never commanded.
From early morning until mid
night, tens of thousands thronged
to the neighborhod of the presiden-
tial palace while other thousands
filled the principal streets. When
ever Hindenberg appeared he was
given reverberating ovations.
Duty to Fatherland
All public buildings and most Of
the private houses displayed flags.
the imperial black, white and red
flag predominating.
Hindenberg's forenoon was oc-
cupied with receptions. Diplomatic
corps, delegss pms from the Federal
States and the Reichstag, and the
cabinet and Chancellor Marx called
on him, the latter submitting the
Governments congratulations.
Replying. the president thanked
Marx and through him. German
people everywhere for the con-
gratulations. He especially was
thankful to the population of the
occupied territory, whose liberation
will be the foremost object of our
foreign policy" he said.
II have always done my duty to
the fatherland," the former field
marshal said. What remains of my
life will continue to be devoted to
the fatherland, never to any par
ticular party"
DeplOres Internal Strife
He deplored persistent internal
strife and expressed hope that one
day common ground may be found
for all factions to work in harmony
for the good Of Germany.
At 3:15 p. m, Won Hindenberg,
accompanied by Chancellor Marx,
drove from the presidential palace
to the Stadium. Thousands Of spec
tators lined the five-mile route and
cheered madly as the president
passed.

REPEAL OF BILL
SAVING DUvALL
IS GROUPS aim
Special Session Is Only Way
Out of Present Middle,
Says Resolution.
CITY NAME SMIRCHED
Jackson Urged to Act at
Once, to Repair Wrong
Done State
CITY NAME sMIRCHED

A special session Of the State
Legislature to repeal the mayor
saviour bill which prevents Indian
anolis citizens from having the city
manager form of government they
voted in last spring until the end of
John L. DuvalTs term was demanded
Of Governor Ed Jackson today.
The executive committee Of the
Indianapolis City Manager League
adopted resolutions declaring that
this demand was made because the
special session is the way out, and
the only complete way out" OF the
present political muddle.
The resolution declares: "The
affairs of the city of Indianapolis
under Mayor Duvall have been and
are administered with such COM
plete and utter disregard for the best
interests of the citizens and tax
payers that the government OF the
city has been brought into great dis
repute in the estimation of the
-people throughout the entire United
States.
Conditions Get Worse
"Conditions are growing worse
and it is impossible to foretell what
may result if the situation is not
corrected by restoration of rights
Of citizens"
The Governor is called upon to
summon the Legislature not only to
repeal the mayor saviour law, but
to make "all necessary amendments
to the law Of 1921 by which the peo-
pie of this and other Indiana mu-
inequalities can establish without
further delay nonpartisan form
of government"
The committee "calls upon all
good citizens" and upon all bust
ness and civic associations and all
organizations representing groups
of good citizens" to join in this de-
mand.
Commenting upon Governor Jack
sons siding with the politicians
when he signed the mayor saviour
bill, the resolutions say: Had the
Governor and the members of the
Legislature been able to foresee the
inestimable wrong which their &C
ton has done to the citizens of In
dianapoliS and other cities of the
State, we believe they would have
kefKsed to interfere with the orderly
py eesses which the people were
Employing for improvement of their
Government"
City Hall Excited
Meanwhile. the atmosphere was
tense at city hall. Majority faction
members of city council held a con-.
ference with Duvall, after which the
mayor kept himself in his cham
bers incommunicado and only one
councilman would talk.
He was Boynton j. Moore, who
has been talking for two weeks
about impeaching the mayor. He
vas not so certain this afternoon.
City hall observers did not believe
an Impeachment resolution would be
introduced at tonight's council
meeting.
Moore said he asked the mayor to
cooperate" with civic club leaders,
who have been demanding resigna-
lions of Duvall and Mrs. Duvall, the
city controller. He said Duvall re-
Piled he would Ego $3.50, but not
give up everything"

fairs committee also met at lunch

III the event, however that Howard
should beat Lincoln by an overwhelm-
ing score, there would be considerable
interest in the game. The fans will
always feel that TuSkegee is better than
either club and a one-sided win for
Howard will simply add fire to the ar
gument. Frankly we would like to be

TALLADECA MUST
PLAY SANS STAR
QUARTERBACK

TALLADEGA, ALA, Nov. 1O-A
gloom went over the entire Tallade-
ga campus this morning when the
news following a diagnosis of Talla-
dega's stellar quarterback, made the
fact known that sudden attack OF
acute appendicitis was the case.
Following this information, the Of
flcials of the school, together with
those connected with the football
team, set out to make the best pre-
parations preparatory to the opera
ton suggested by the medical author
tiles. BY twelve o'clock all plans had
been made and by one o'clock a sue
cesSful operation had been performed.
The absence OF Cooper from the
football team will be a great loss to
the Talladega machine while the games
yet to be played are against Fisk,
concern is that Of his own personal
recovery to normal health for after
all, that Is the basis Of all success.
Coach Kindle, who was present dur
ing the operation, is making every
effort to reorganize the team in Or
der TO face the resi- OF their gridiron
foes. In all probability, James, one OF
the strongest ends In the south, will
be shifted to quarterback for most OF
the time and other promising men
= Ill be used in his position. Despite
this loss and the loss of Page due to
dislocation of his shoulder in the State
Normal game, the Talladega machine
will still bear watching.

the first time on the subject Of Benny
Yanger, referee in the Tiger Flowers.
Mickey Walker fiasco, Walk Miller, the
manager of Tiger Flowers took a de-
cided blow at the brow Of the now in
.mous referee. The statement came IS
a complete surprise for Miller had
shown evidence of being adverse to
discussing the actions of the referee IN
awarding the Tigers title to Mickey
Walker.
Yanger, shown the story, simply Snil-

turally both sides couldn't be satisfied
Mr. Miller's statement follows:
Benny Yanger is alleged to have
stated that he gave the decision to
Walker because Flowers slapped, back
handed and committed other infringe
ments of the rules. Were this true,
it was not only his privilege, but his
duty, to have cautioned Flowers. which
at no time during the contest did he
do.

the above explanation Of his decision
until twelve hours after the fight makes
it appear just little as though he
had done considerable bordering in or

for his atrocious act. Especially when

THE
DO
SAL

We have before us an announcement
of the organization of basket ball
league in Chicago. The body will func-
ton with some ten or more LeamS pray
ing once a week at the Eighth Regiment
Armory. The plan is said to have
found its growth in the brain of DIR.
Albert C. johnson whose connection
with the sport dates back many, many
years. The move is a splendid one,
the idea an important cog In the wheel
of successful sport promotion and
should be supported by followers of
basketball in large numbers. This Is
just what we have needed for some time
and thing, the absence Of which,
real red bloOded fans have felt keenly
for past several years.
For a number or years basketball,
was our most popular sport, 1t outdreW
by large numbers any other sport and
its followers represented the cream Of
Chicago's society, professional and
business world. A trip to one Of the
games played by the Original Forty
Cub meant a dance with members of
both social sets, young and old and
under conditions as favorable as you
would find at any dance, matters not
how CLOSED" it happened to be.
But late years have brought about
. decided change. The select group
refused to take seriously to the games
and every effort to bring them back
appeared more and more futile until
the promoters came to the conclusion
that basketball simplay isn't society
game. The chief trouble with the game.
however, has been the class Of enter
tainment offered. The games have been
poer, rowdies have occupied the spot
light at each of the contests. But even
so the public was not to blame. Last
season found the game at its lowest
ebb. Exactly three games were of
substitute variety due to the failure
of the management to produce the OPP
position advertised. On one occasion
Cleveland was advertised as the visiting
team and not until the hour Of the
game did even the newspapers know
that Chicago semi-prO team and
not Cleveland was to battle our clan.

PHILLIPS II DRILLS FOR
GAME WITH SUMNER HIGH
Bv AL Monroe


Coach Ben Mosby ordered strenuous
workout for his grid stars this week
Notwithstanding the fact that the city
schedule is about closed. The eleven
will leave the city next Wednesday for
st. Louis where the strong Sumner
high school team will be encountered
The following Saturday they stop
off at Louisville, KY, in an effort to
make it two wins in a single week.
The entire squad was put through
drill Tuesday afternoon and not a sin
gle cripple was reported. The boys
have blood in their eyes and are de-
termined to return to Chicago with the
scalps of both elevens dangling from
their belts.
Sumner is Tough
Coach Mosby is mindful Of the re-
puted strength of the st. Louis eleven
and has ordered his men to put every
ounce of strength into the daily drills.
Sumner, it will be recalled, stopped the
strong East st. Louis team that Phillips
was only able to battle to tie score
some two or more weeks ago. 1t is for
this reason along with others that the
local coach is drilling his charges in
real battle fashion.
The same goes for Western Of Owens
boro. This team is composed Of beefy
players selected from the farms OF Ken
lucky and they present a difficult prob
lem for any coach to solve. But Phil
lips is not altogether worried over the
strength of either eleven. In Thol-
MARE, Roberts and Garry the Southsid-
ers boast formidable eleven with pow
er and punch the equal OF nay elevn
yet encountered.
Coach Mosby, deprived Of a chance at
the title through the queer workings of
the city high school league board, Is
not squawking. He evidently feels that
nothing can be done and hopes for bet
ter luck next season. Mr.. Mosby has
not been given proper credit for the
manner in which he handled the eligi-
bility situation at the school. Certainly
he made, every effort to prove his men
below the limit before the season was
underway. Mr.. Mosby has compiled a
very enviable record since taking up
coaching duties at Phillips. He has
gone into the finals in baseball, basket
ball and football. If he stops Sumner
then more credit to his charges: if he
is beaten by the st. Louis team, he is
due praise plenty for whatever show
ing the team makes. We are with you
Phillips. Now back up that with a
splendid win over both Thanksgiving
foes.
