FILE APPEAL
FROM REPORT
Seek to Override
Adverse Stand of
Schley on Canal
fspecial 70 The Heraldl

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas, July t.
Formal notice of intention to appeal
from the adverse report of Lieut.. Col.
j. L. Schley, former district engineer
at Galveston, on the proposed extern
sion of the intracoastal canal from
Corpus Christi south TO Point Isabel
and Harlingen, has been given by the
Intracoastal Canal association, ac-
cording to Roy Miller, active vice
president.
The adverse report was Tiled by
Colonel Schley on June %.
Disappointment and surprise was
felt generally among members of the
report on the extension.
"We felt, and continue to feel. that
we had made a conclusive case for
the canal on the basis Of its ommer-
cial Justification" he added. The
government invests money upon such
projects upon the basis of returns
rendered.
THE figures compiled by Gen.
Harry Taylor, former chief of en-
gineers, and, earlier, by the late
Gen. George w. Cocktails, showed
that the canal would save the people
Of the Valley in excess Of a million
dollars annually in transportation
charges. This estimate was predict
ed upon the basis of present COM
merce, although it would require
about five years for the work to be
completed, and business would in
crease naturally in that time. We
figure also the cost of securing and
operating the best equipment, and
placed the cost Of water ~transporta-
ton at 8 mills per ton mile, whereas
the Mississippi service has been OPP
Grated at a cost of $50 mills per ton
mile. Despite all this generous es-
innate of cost, we estimated the saw
ings would be above a million dol
lars a year.
I'VE feel, too, that the extension is
an essential part Of the canal, which
W. have hoped to extend, since the
organization Of the association. from
the Mississippi to the Rio Grande."
Mr.. Miller expects to leave soon for
Washington to confer with officials
there relative to the date of the
hearing before the board of en-
%gineers. He has also communicated
with Valley directors of the associa-
ton relative to plans for an appeal
from Colonel Schley's report.

day after day inspecting automo-

the best poker faces in the world

"Of course" he continued. "there

ked", will have charge of the defen-
siVe work and kicking in the Mann
campbell school of football which is

70 ID inclusive. He is one Of the
most colorful athletes In the South
west.
Campbell, whose home is in In
diana, mas played on two of the big
xest football teams in America
washington and jefferson in Penn
sylvania and the United Sttaes Naval
Academy at Annapolis. He played at
center, tackle and guard in high
school and the first part of his first
year in college. However, his leg
drive and kicking ability being dis
covered at the same time he broke two
OF his fingers caused him TO be
moved from the center position to
fullback. At this time Campbell
weighed 14S pounds and was the
kid" Of the squad.
Campbell left Washington and JEFF
ferson to accept an appointment 20
the Naval academy. Here he played
at the fullback position and featured
as a drop-kicker and punter. His
Kicking range was between fifty and
sixty yards. His drop-kicking accur-
aey was uncanny. AsiGe from giving
the boys instruction in kicking. he
Will give them pointers on handling
the ball on wet and windy days.
But Reds biggest feature was his
defensive work. He had ways OF
thanking interference and crowding
men that usually left the ball car
rier open. He played both IN the
line and back of il. Greasy Neale,
noted Eastern coach, taught Camp
bell a few special tricks in breaking
up field-goal attempts.
Campbell was always counted upon
rs . line crasher. de was never
played successfully on cut-back plays,
which was Mann's vest-pocket trick.
Red was either sent through the line
or off tackle on quiek-0pening plays.
Aside from Camphelrs football
ability he Is recognized as an auth
ority on physical culture and ANA
teur boxing. He will instruct the
boys at the Harrington camp on the
