yard line. Sowka's kick was blocked on the 2S-yard line and was recov- cred by Coast Guard man. A Guard forward pass was completed but after the receiver had covered about five yards he fumbled and Sowka recovered.
 sowka kicked to their 47-yard line. stockstill and Hawley carried the ball in succession, but they failed to make a first down. Harding kicked to New Britain's 1e-yard line and Grip was nailed before he got started.
 On the first play sowka kicked 10 his own 45-yard line. A plunge at left tackle and forward pass netted two first downs for the Guards, but that ended the advance of the New London team and Grip received the punt on his 1l-yard line. Sowka kicked to his own 47-yard line.
 Before the third quarter ended each team had chance to kick to each other. The Coast Guards took the ball on its own 4O-yard line as the third quarter ended.
 Fourth Quarter
 Ross went in for Grip as the quar- ter began. Harding hit the center of the line twice in succession for a first down. Failure to gain further caused Harding to kick to New Britain's 21-yard line where Ross was nailed as soon as he caught the ball.
 Playing a halfback position Cap tain Lindino seemed to be more at home as he ran around right end to the s5.yard line. sowka made a long kick to his opponents s0-yard line and Hawley ran back i've yards.
 After two unsuccessful attempts at the line Harding kicked to Ross who sidestepped two would-be tackles and ran 25 yards to mid- field. New Britain tried two for. ward passes but both were incom- plete and the ball was brought back five yards on a penalty. sowka's punt was partially blocked but it managed to reach the IS yard line.
 Line rushes failed and Ross re- ceived another kick and he went about 12 yards to the 50 yard line. With . second team in the game, Sowka carried the ball twice and on each occasion he scored . first down. The game ended on the sec ond play.

The tackling of the New Britain team was poor. At times the game looked like . wrestling match. A tackling dummy would be help to the team.

REAL REASON FOUND
FOR DELAY ON BRIDGE
State Senator Cooper Wasn't In
Picture-That's All.

Reason for all the time wasting
fuss over erection of the Evansville
bridge has been revealed.
State Senator Bruce E. Cooper,
Stewartsville, gave the "lowdown"
when he visited the Statehouse
Tuesday afternoon.
Reason for the bridge not being
in use at this time" said the sena-
tor, in his best senatorial manner
"iS because 1 wasn't in the pic
ture."
He then explained that he meant
this literally. When the Evansville
delegation from both houses, led by
Lieutenant Governor f.. Harold
VanOrman. went to the Office of.
Governor Ed jackson to have the
bridge bill signed in 1927, Cooper
didn't appear and wasn't there
when the entire group was photo
graphed.

CRIME GROWTH
IS BLAMED ON
LAX CITIZENS
Indifference to Need of Law
Enforcement Painted
as Cause.

Indifference of American citizens
to the responsibilities of law en-
forcement was scored by Charles
F. Miller, Indianapolis schools sup
erintendent, Tuesday, before the
Gyro Club at the Spink-Arms.
MANY people fail to pay enough
attention to the necessity of obey
ing laws upon our statute books.
Criminal law IS administered too
much on technicalities which is only
another way of delaying justice"
Superintendent Miller stated.
No Need for Crime
Frequently Americans have been
criticised by those from other ma
lions for the lack of a high regard
for our laws. Crime is basically
caused by poverty, ignorance and
intemperance.
1.-The United States is said to be
worth $685. ,000,0O0,000 and there is
peace and prosperity on every
hand" said Miller, 80 there is no
cause for the crime wave in the
poverty in this country.
1--WE rank fourth in education.
The increase in lawlessnesS can not
be traced particularly to intemper-
ance as We are the most temperate
nation on earth. The cause lies
within. Too many shirk their re-
sponsibility of citizenship and hest
tate to take an interest in law en-
forcement when it interferes with
our business or social position" &C.
clared Miller.

In returning to his Atlanta
admirers their gift of q $50, 900
home down in Dixie, Bobby
Jones relieved himself as well
as the United States Golf Assoc
citation of embarrassment which
would have grown no less for
either Of them as time went On.
Having the best interest of the
game at heart, Jones decided to
put a stop to all criticism, either
of himself or his well-inten-
toned friends, by relieving the
situation in the most effective
way.
His admirers who contributed
to the home as we'll as the mill
lions who didn't, will think more
Of him for taking the stand he
has, and the spirit of anna
teurism will certainly be pre-
served to the satisfaction of all.
A $50, 900 home is indeed a very
material gift and is a far cry
from a loving cup, watch or
other token of recognition which
is commonly given amateurs.
Well sir, with that cold snap
pretty we'll spent now and an
occasional murmur from some
major league magnate or an
other from time to time, it isn't
hard to imagine baseball AS
being just around the corner.
The Athletics and Yankees have
just recently announced their
spring exhibition dates and
added to the Griffs' schedule
which was broadcast before any
of the rest, are beginning to
give the 1928 baseball season
some definite form.
But the surest sign that the
fans are thinking of their dear
old national pastime is the daily
mail which sometimes scolds,
sometime praises and often sug-
gests this, that or the other
thing. Here, then, is a shot-in-
the-arm from Eugene E. Stevens,
local patent attorney who is one
of the hundreds of Washington
enthusiasts who simply can't
bear to think of Joe Judge pass
ing out of the local fold:
"We read a lot of stuff in
the sports sheet these days
about getting rid of Joe Judge,
now that Sisler is on the roster.
"Here is a thought l believe
worth considering. Why not
play Sisler in right field and
keep the best fielding first base
man of the league on our own
initial sack. Once a fly-hawk,
always a fly-hawk, while not a
renowned adage is an accurate
one, and George Sisler could
certainly go get them when he
played the outfield for a time
with st. Louis between turns
as a third-baseman, pitcher and
first baseman.
"I believe Sisler lacks the
combative spirit which is so
necessary in an infield and with
Bluege and Sisler in the same
inner quartet, Washington will
have about as much pep as a
correspondence school yell"

JONES JARS
ALLAN

ATLANTA, Jan. 7. - Announce
ment by Bobby Jones in New YORK
that he would not accept the $5O,OOo
home presented him by friends and
admirers came as a distinct surprise
here.
Bobby's father, Robert F. Jones,
said his son called him on long
distance telephone from New YORK
yesterday to inform him of his decl-
sion. The elder Jones said he was
as much surprised as anybody.
He said Bobby gave no reason ex-
cent that he thought 1t would be
the best thing for the game. the
money will be returned to the com.
mittee which solicited the fund,
Jones said.
NEW YORK, Jan. Z. - Robert T.
Jones, jr., Americas greatest anna
teur golfer, has decided not to accept
from his friends in Atlanta, Ga, the
gift of a $50, 900 home. ......
II believe that the interests OF
our great game will be best served
If / do not retain the home" said
Jones.
Jones' statement came on the heels
of an announcement by William c.
Fownes, jr.. president Of the United
States Golf Association, that ac'
ceptance of the gift would not
ieopardize his amateur status In any
way.

been influenced by criticisms made
