Jack Faber, former Eastern High

an enviable name for himself a.
freshman coach in baseball. Ia

The essence of personality
and character, he has the
gentle mannerism that CON-
mands respect.
Soft-spoken, he is really too
modest in discussions Of his own
talents or the progress OF teams
under his direction. He never gives
alibies. "beefs" about the deal or
Iaments the breaks" These are
common walls among the collegians.
Faber represented Maryland in
three sports. He starred for four
years on the basketball five, having
entered before Maryland instituted
the freshman rule. He also played
three years on the lacrosse twelve,

was picked on the second all-Amer-

garded as one of the leading younger
lacrosse coaches.

Edwards took the floor to describe as
untrue from beginning to end" the re-
cent remarks of Hefiin concerning
Hague's activities. 'I4et me repeat" he
said. "the unfair and libelous charges
hurled at Mayor Frank Hague and the
Democrats of New Jersey by the Ala
bama Senator are untrue. and I here
with challenge Senator Hefiin to sub
stantiate them, either In whole or In

Hefin replied that he was merely
reading story in the Trenton Evening

of the New Jersey delegates to the
convention in exchange for Smith sup
port. He said he accepted the state

FRESH AIR CAMP
 MAY BE CHANGED
Water Bond Considers Offering NeW Site in 1880

A site which is to take the place of the present quarters of the New Britain Fresh Air camp in the Bur- lington hills will be offered by the water board whom the camp is forced to move. if the suggestion of Com missioner Ernest Pelton is adopted by the board.
 The new water board project will require the use of the property where the fresh air camp is now To- cated. It is probable that the camp will not be relocated this summer. but it is expected that a year from this date tho water department pro- ject will be advanced to the point where the property will be needed. There is another site in the hills which is near enough to the water and has enough elevation so that it would be an ideal spot for the camp.
 The water board. at . meeting held last night. voted to refuse the re- quest of . lover of the woods to build a camp on the water board property in Burlington. The mem- 
 bers agreed that it would set bad precedent and that the property would be cluttered with shacks of campers. The possibility of fire also prompted some of the members to vote to refuse to allow "squatters" to use the property. The per- son making the request intended to bu;ld o ahock thnre opd snond tho week-cndS out of doors.
 No action was taken on the ques- ton involving the fee for a consult ing engineer for the water boards $2,000.0oO project. The greater part of the meeting was devoted to the study Of maps.
