For Big Game

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 23.-Thc
All-Southern football team which
meets an All-Western eleven here
December 26, was to have the ad-
vantage of the dry turf again today
as it galloped through third prac-
tice session.
The grid army from Dixie, strik-
ing dry field yesterday for the
first time in it's second workout, put
on an enlightening exhibition. Un-
hindered by the slippery grass of
the day before, Spears and Estes
led the backfield in a brilliant as
sault.
Jack Mcdowell had the ball sail
ing through the air in astounding
forward passes that threatened a
busy Monday for the west. Spears
and Estes were passing well also.
Crowley, Creson and SPOTS con-
tributed to the showing as they
raced down the field to retrieve the
long passes.
The red heads of Gene Cook and
Jim Tunney stood out at the west s
practice. Cook, from the University
of Washington, and Tunney, from
Loyola College of Los Angeles
flashed through with the ball for
yard after yard. Upon Cook the
west is depending for its kicking.
Oak Pendleton of Whittier was
another backfield luminary.
The west was to work out this
morning, the south in the afternoon.

TERRIS-MCRAW
MEETING LOOMS
AS REAL SCRAP
BY FRANK GETTY
United Press Sports Editor

NEW YORK, Dec. ga battle
between the two leading light
weights which not only is bound to
be hair raising but which may 60
a long way towards clearing up the
situation in the 135 pound division
takes place tonight at Madison
Square Garden when Sidney Terris
of New York meets Phil McGraw
of Detroit.
If Terris wins-and the "wise
money which so seldom calls the
turn wrongly, makes him 3 to 1
favoritc-the Ghetto Ghost will be
in position to force title bout
with Sammy Mandell, champion of
the division.
This is the third meeting between
the pair. Terris won judges ver-
dict the first although McGraw
bounced him to the floor so often
that Sid resembled jumping jack.
Their second meeting was slam
bang battle and McGraw won ON a
foul.
Terris, from back pcdalling,
clever jabber has developed into
quite knockout artist in his own
right and as he has shown that he
can hit as well as box rings around
McGraw, the fight is considered by
the experts as just about as good
as over.
The Detroit lightweight, however,
is such willing mixer and throws
such a lot of punches, while sopping
up punishment with never back
ward step, that it would not be en-
tirely surprising if he were to slip
over right hand wallop and knock
Terris out.
If Sidney elects to step in and
trade punches with Phil, it promises
to be one of the best fights of the
year.

TO REFERENDUMS THAT
ARE NOT BINDING

Seventh, the vets are calling referen-
dums which are inconclusive and not le-
galy binding, referendums in which drys
cannot and will not participate, in the
hope and expectation that the results of
such elections will be interpreted as an
overwhelming sentiment against prohibi-
ton.
They further slyly inject into what 9th
erwise would not be wet and dry meas
ures such provisions as, nevertheless,
have wet effect and provide wet propa-
landa. A recent instance of this was the
referendum on the Marshall bill in Ohio.
The vets advocate the setting up of
some sort of machinery for a national ref
erendum ON phases of prohibition, we'll
knowing that no such referendum can be
held under the federal constitution as it
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1927-12-01
ARE ACTIVE IN STATE ELEC-
TIONS

Sixth, this matter of the election of wet
candidates is not to be confined to pres-
dent and congressman, but it extends clear
through the entire list of state, county,
and local officials, to the least consequent
tial officer in the most rural township.
The Eighteenth Amendment gives con-
current jurisdiction to federal and state
governments, for enforcement of the ma
tional prohibition law. When states like
New Y ork and Maryland refuse to accept
this responsibility, the whole burden of
enforcement falls upon the federal gov
eminent and enforcement is greatly him
dered thereby. This is why New York
and Maryland are considered the wettest
states in the Union, and states where the
prohibition law is most openly hOuted.
The vets would control state, county
and local officials in an effort to break
down not only federal law enforcement,
but also to hamper administration of state
laws and city ordinances.
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1927-12-01
SEEK CONTROL OF U. S. ST.
PREME COURT

They are even reaching out in an eff
fort to control the Supreme Court of the
United States. William H. Stayton, head
of the Association Against the Prohibi-
ton Amendment, the leading wet organ
ization, recently publicly declared in New
York City that it is not necessary to Sc
cure 80 states to ratify an amendment re-
pealing the Eighteenth Amendment but
that all that is necessary is one more lib
eral judge on the Supreme bench. This is
an insult to tribunal which has never
been accused of sacrificing justice on an
altar of prejudice and should receive the
condemnation of all patriotic citizens, both
wet and dry.
WOULD ELECT WET PRESIDENT
Fourth, they are planning now for the
election of a wet president in 1923. They
do not care whether he is Republican or
a Democrat, nor from what section of
the country he may come. All they de-
mand is that he shall be wet. They re-

now stands. They expect, thereby, to Gre
ate the impression that the drys are
afraid to meet the issue in the polling
places of the country.
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1927-12-01

Enemies of prohibition do not expect
the repeal OF the Eighteenth Amend
ment in this generation Their ultimate
goal, of course is tic complete over
throw of the prohibition policy with res
toration OF the entire liquor traffic.
All their present plans and immediate
detectives are steps toward this end.
They expect 1nally to break through
the lines of the dry forces on three sectors
which they consider and which are the
most vulnerable points OF attack: the
youth, the honest wet and the foreign
born peoples who have brought with them
to America the drinking habits and GUS
toms of Europe.
The present campaign of the vets look
in, toward the final assault on these three
sectors involves both political and edu-
cational activities of great variety.
Neither their educational nor political ac-
tvties will succeed with the present gen
eraticn, because this generations men,
DRY goes back to the days of the saloon
with all its attendant evils; to the days of
the brewer and his political activities.
But that their political maneuvering and
propaganda are having an effect on the
youth, the honest vets and the foreign
born citizens cannot be denied.
DECLARE PROHIBITION A FAIL
URE
First of all, they seek to convince the
world that prohibition is failure To
accomplish this they ridcule it, caricature
it. encourage law violations and then
greatly exaggerate these violations, in an
endeavor TO make prohibition a kissing
and by-word They will do anything
calculated to bring into disrepute not
only the law itself but also the temper
ance reform organizations and the indi-
viduals connected with such organiza-
tons.
They tell the youth that conditions un-
der prohibition are worse than conditions
under so-caled regulation They seek
to prove this by giving wide publicity to
every instance of Youths infraction of
the prohibition law. Such instances be-
come subjects of editorial comment in the
metropolitan press The conclusion of
these editorials invariably is that such
instances never happened in the days of
the open saloon
MISLEADING THE YOUTH
The youth who never knew the open
saloon are inclined to believe this, and the
parents themselves, whose memories fall
ter, are in grave danger of being misled.
An insidious appeal is made to the
youth to assert his independence and not
be bound by any inhilitions on his So
called personal liberty
MODIFICATION OF VOLSTEAD
LAW
