MOVE is CLIMAX
OF REACTIONARY
DRIVE ON PARTY
Part of Terror Wave
Now Sweeping Over
Many States
Party Will Fight Back
Immediate Aid Needed
to Save Paper

With an arbitrary order is
sued yesterday by authorities
of the Post Office at New
York, the United States gov
ernment took the first step in
a plan to exclude from the
second class mails the special
election editions of 100000
copies of the Daily Worker, at
tempting thereby to cripple the
election campaign of the Work
ers (Communist) Party in the
presidential election. After
holding many thousands of
copies of the special California
edition mailed the night before.
the Post Office authorities yes
terday afternoon notified the
Daily Worker that none of
these papers would be sent to
their destination.
In the discussion which fol-
lowed, the authorities admitted
the fact that the Daily
Worker is acting as the organ
of "a political party"
Making no attempt to conceal
their real purposes, post office Of
ficials openly admitted that the rea-
sons for the new order was that the
Daily Worker is the official organ
of political party. AS a further
technical pretext, should this effort
be defeated by the organized pro-
test of the working class which is
expected to result, post office au-
thorities gave the excuse that the
issue in question was not the regu-
lar national edition but a special
California edition.
Thus the post office officials who
are believed to be carrying out the
orders of those higher up in the
capitalist government expect to be
able to strangle the only really
working class daily paper in the
English language at time when its
efforts in the election campaign of
the Workers (Communist) Party are
beginning to be of the greatest in
fluence.
AS the first move in the nation
wide fight which will undoubtedly
have to be made, the Daily Worker
yesterday wired to the postmaster
general at Washington its protest
at this obvious political persecution
of the official organ of the working
class party.
AZ IS Working Class Character.
Admitting gladly that the paper
supports the Workers (Communist)
Party of America and its candidates,
William z. Foster for president and
Benjamin Gitlow for president,
the wire demands that the order be
rescinded and that the California
edition be forwarded
At the same time a letter expos
ing in greater detail the real ma
ture of this new attask was sent to
the local postal authorities in which
it is pointed out that other news
papers are supporting their particu-
lar parties with immunity and are
"in fact receiving support from
those political parties" None of
these papers are being interfered
with, the letter shows.
The new attack against the CEN
trail organ of the Communist Party
which, with it's national circulation
in every state Of the union is indis-
pensable for the conduct. of the
present election campaign and for
the organization activity of the
Party, comes as the climax to the
campaign of discrimination and ter
ror which have been waged in
dozen states and in hundred cities
within the past few months in
concerted attempt by the capitalist

tinued, for the first time in the his
tory of the school. Hereafter each

"Pernicious political influences"

as announced last night at the an
nual dinner Of the Gopher football
squad when a leader for the 1929
eleven was to have been elected.
The ruling was made by the sen.
ate committee on intercollegiate ath-
letics, which is the governing BODY
OF sports at Minnesota, and is the
outgrowth of too much Campus
politics." especially in the selection
Of gridiron leaders.
The committees statement said it
had "unimpeachable evidence that
politics had entered into the cleo

here tonight"
"Outside influences, Of q very
dangerous character, especially the
influence of fraternities and other
organizations, have been brought to
bear in q manner inimical to the
best interests Of an athletic team
representing this institution" said
the statement.
The committee emphasized that it
was not criticizing the work of the
1928 football team nor its members,
adding that it was rather a criti-
cism of an environment that has
been becoming more pernicous, po-
litically, each year."

STATESET FOR
N0DAK GRIDMEN
Student Body Already Prepar-
ing to Turn Tables on North
Dakota Crew

Brookings, S. D., Dec. 14.-Pros-
poets Of the strongest football sched-
ule ever played by a State College
team were announced here today by
Cy Kasper, coach and athletic d.
rector.
In addition to the four North Gen.
trail conference games, definite early
season dates have been fixed with
Wisconsin and Columbus College OF
Sioux Falls. Offers for late games,
following the close Of the conference
season, have been received from St.
Louis University, Loyola University
of Chicago and Mount St. Charles of
Helena, Mont. The latter team is
the one that. defeated North Dakota
U this year and also downed the
two state schools of Montana. At
least two of these three teams will
be scheduled. The Jackrabbits were
offered early dates with Minnesota
and Northwestern but could not take
them on due to their full schedule.
The entire 1929 card centers
around the Hobo Day game on Nov.
2 with the new Jackrabbit rival
North Dakota U, as the opponent.
This game comes at the close of the
conference season, and the dope now
seems to indicate that this game
should decide the conference cham
pionship. The student body at State
is already planning to turn the tables
on their old coach, Jack West, and
the Nodaks.
A large number of high school
coaches have written in to Kasper
for the Hobo Day date in order that
they may build their schedules 50

Nice Floor Game and Leads

for Bismarck
NEXT GAME NOT KNOWN

The Bismarck Phantoms, using Is
men in order to give them all a
chance to see action. handily de-
feated the Dawson Independents 80
to II last night in the first basket
ball game Of the season in Bismarck.
Though the Bismarck outfit has
not had much of an opportunity to
get in shape, they presented nice
team last night in spite of constant
lineup changes.
Axelson. Dawson captain and
guard, was the outstanding man on
the floor last night. the former VAL
ley City State Teachers college star
netting four field goals, two free
throws, and playing q nice floor
game.
Next to Axelson came Doc Bur-
dick, Van Wyk, and Hank Brown of
the Phantom crew. All men Of both
teams played hard games.
Dawson used only six men, and
toward the end Of the game were
firing rapidly while Bismarck was
substituting freely Of its 13-man
squad.
Bobby Rusch, former Fargo high
school and Northwestern University
court star, got in the game for few
minutes last night and gave the fans
a treat on floor work. He was not
in excellent shape, however, as it
was the first time he had stepped
into a uniform this year.
Dawson began the scoring with
two free throws and Bismarck coun-
tered with two field goals. Dawson
tied the count at four and after
free throw had put the Phantoms

DR.. John w. Wilce, who for 16 years

ASSISTANT MANAGERS ARE PROVING
GREAT HELP TO MAJOR LOOP HEADS

O'Leary, who was with the Tigers
for many years, was a remarkable
fielder but weak at the bat. Wag.
ner played with Bill Carrigan, pres.
ent Red Sox manager, on Boston
teams of IL to Is years ago. Fletcher
cavorted for the Giants over an ex-
tended stretch.
Altrock Was Southpaw
Altrock, as many fans probably
recall, was a star left-hander with
the White Sox in the days of Doc
White, Ed Walsh, Fielder Jones and
others. Shanks used to play utility
roles for Washington. Wingo and
Land are former catchers. Hunter
was first bascman and Liefield Q
southpaw pitcher.
Few assistants or coaches ever re.
place their boss as manager Of the
same team. But l recall one who
did. That's Lena Blackburne, pres
ent pilot Of the. White Sox. Black.
burne was Schalk's aide at Chicago
When Ray stepped out, Lena stepped
in. Moreover, Blackburne pulled the
club out of the gutter where it had
slipped under Schalk's management
Blackburne, an ordinary player
turned trick which Schalk, great
pastimer, was unable to perform.
An odd game is baseball.

BEGIN SEASON
NEXT APRIL is
Draft Problem Is Abandoned ;
Heydler's 10 Man Team
Plan Dropped

Chicago, Dec. 14.-(P)-The ma
jor leagues have closed their shut
tiers on the baseball draft problem,
but it still cast chill Of discomfort
over the minors today.
Refusing to bulge from the stand
they have taken, officials and club
owners of the National and Ameri-
can leagues, in joint session yester-
day, informed the minor leagues that
the perplexing question rested solely
with them. They rejected an invita-
ton to send representatives to the
meeting Of minor league clubs at
West Baden, Ind, January 10.
If conciliatory plan is adopted
at the West Baden meeting, the ma
jor league officials said, they will
be glad to hear of it at their next
meetings in February.
Rejection of the plan of Johr
Heydler, president of the National
league, to have 10 men teams so
that pitcher would not have to bat
decision to open the major league
season on April 16, and to close it
on October 6, were high lights of
action at the joint meeting of the
two major organizations yesterday.
The playing season was moved up
week because of the usually in
clement weather which trimmed at
tendances and caused many post
ponements at the end Of last season.
President Heydler's 10 man team
proposal received but scant consid-
Grafton from the American league
club owners and officials who felt
it would be harmful. President
Heydler predicted the plan would be
used some time.

BISON, VIKINGS
T0PLAY AGAIN
Aggies Look Forward to An.
other Tough Battle With
Valley City Crowd

Fargo, N. D., Dec. 14.-With Gilly
Johnson, Rockford, ILL.,, guard, back
in uniform following a period Of ill.,
ness, Coach Leonard Saalwaechter's
North Dakota Agricultural college
cagers will present a more rugged
defense against the Valley City vi
kings tomorrow night than was ex-
hibited last week. Judging by the
brand of basketball shown by Jim
Morrison's troupe in the last tussle
between these two teams, the Bison
contingent is due for another battle
royal.
Leo May will probably see service
at a forward post. The huge athlete
was used at guard during the first
half of the game last week, but was
shifted to forward during the second
canto when his scoring ability came
in handy. Matt Braus was decidedly
below form at center, and may be
benched for Cecil Bliss, star for.
ward.
Johnny Smith, whose long shots
defeated the Vikings last week, is al.
most = certain starter, while Pete
Gergen is expected to hold down
H.; guard post in his usual effective
manner. The other defense position
rests between George Hays, Gil
johnson and John Brady.
Coach "Saaly" is working his pro.
teges hard in an attempt to be in
his guard post in his usual effective
trim for the Bison's trip through
Illinois next week, and will probably
try different combinations against
the Vikings in order to pick the best
men for the Journey.

Ray Schalk, Former Catcher and
Manager of White Sox, Is
Latest to Join Ranks of First
Lieutenant Brigade; Altrock
Is Another
BY BILLY EVANS

Unlike the old days, major league
managers now are quite we'll sup
piled with assistants. No longer
does the entire task of bossing a
team fall on the shoulders of one
mantle pilot. An assistant or two
relieves the manager of many little
details nowadays.
The latest member of the first
lieutenant brigade is Ray Schalk
former catcher and manager of the
Chicago White Sox. Schalk, one of
the greatest of backstops, will be
chief aide to John McGraw of the
Giants next season.
Schalk, a great player, found little
success in the managerial role. In
this he was no different than Cobb
and other famous FASTENERS who en-
countered only $3.50 success in the
pilots job after starring in active
competition.
Schalk, however, should prove of
much assistance to McGraw. He
knows the game from A to z and
back again. He should be especially
valuable in helping develop the Giant
pitchers. Schalk, I understand, is to
replace Roger Bresnahan, famous
Giant catcher Of the days of Mathew
SON and McGinnity.
Is Former Manager
Schalk, incidentally, is another
former big league manager to join
the aide-de-camp group. Some of
the others include kid" Gleason
and Eddie Collins of the Athletics;
Art Fletcher, Yankees; Clyde Milan,
Senators, and Bill Killefer, Browns.
Gleason, Collins and Schalk are three
ex- White Sox pilots. Some of them,
it is true, are commonly referred to
as coaches" But they are assist
ants, nevertheless.
1t is interesting to note some of
the old stars now employed as man.
agerial aides on major league clubs.
Last season, for instance, Washing
t.. had Altrock anL Schacht as well
as Milan; the Red Sox had Heinie
Wagner; the Yankees, Charley
O'Leary and Fletcher; the Tigers
Lefty Liefield; the Indians, Howard
Shanks; the Cincinnati Reds, Bobby
Wallace, Ivy Wingo and Grover
Land; the Phillies, Fred Hunter; the
Robins. Otto Miller, and so on down
the line.
Wagner, O'Leary, Wallace and
Fletcher we're star shortstops in
their playing days. Wallac-, remem.
bered for his sensational work with
the st. Louis Browns, probably had
no peer back in the 1902-1915 period

Rabbits Meet Columbus To-
night; Three Lettermen Will
Start Tilt

Brookings, S. D., Dec. 14.-Three
lettermen and pair of sophomores
were announced by Coach George
Edmonds today for the starting line
up of the Jackrabbits in their game
with Columbus tonight.
Captain Schaefer will make his
first appearance at guard, teaming
it with Lemmc Herting. The other
veteran to start will be Nicholson at
forward. Hamann, fast New Ulm
sophomore, will be at the pivot posi-
ton. He is somewhat handicapped
by. lack of height but makes up
for it in floor work and shooting
ability. Carey, a brother of the
famous Deans" Carey of basketball
fame at State several years ago, will
be at the other forward. The young
err "Beans" looks awfully good in
practice, his floor work making him
valuable man to work with Nichol-
son.
Krug, guard, and Engelmann, CEN
ter, both lettermen, will be used dur
ing the game but have been handi-
capped by minor football injuries
and lack Vt practice. Colby, q soph-
omore, is sure to see lot Of service
at forward against Columbus and
Dennis will be used at guard if the
game goes right. In fact, Coach
Edmonds is planning on using every
one Of the Is men who will be out
in suits if safe lead is obtained.
The following men will be handed
out varsity suits tonight and will be
ready for action: Captain Schaefer,
Herting, Krug, Dennis, Lewis, Lowe,
guards; Hamann, Engelmann, Baker,
centers; Nicholson, Carey, Colby,
Morris, Jackson, Dehnert, Norvold,
forwards.

TO COME BACK

Iowa City, Ia, Dec. 14.-(P-
Burton Ingwersen will coach Iowa S
football team again next year.
Ingwersen, the youngest coach in
the western conference, was the tar
get of criticism by Iowa alumni in
1927 when his team had a disastrous
season, finishing close to the cellar
in the championship race. He and
his supporters asked for one more
chance and it was granted despite
the opposition.
He more than made good during

His reward came yesterday when

FRENCH PLAY
STYLE ROUGH

Marmande, France, Dec. 14.-(R
Rugby football has become 50
rough in France that newspapers
everywhere have begun a movement
to 'sclean up" the game.
A match between Marmande and
Bergerac has brought the movement
to q head. A Marmande player vir-
tually strangled the Bergerac cap
tain, Beaussoleil, during a game
while thousands Of spectatores looked
on. Beaussoleil was carried off the
field unconscious with is tongue
hanging. out and foam on his lips
while Marmande rooters howled:
"Well done! Kill him!" Police had
to be summoned to keep them from
attacking the rest Of the Bergerac
team.
Beaussoleil narrowly escaped
death. The Sporting Press said the
time had come to put an end to such
brutal playing, remaking that under
present Conditions in France
strait jacket was more suitable
for players than . Rugby jersey.
