concerned has been pronounced by
Major General Douglas Macarthur.

to a statement issued by General
Palmer +. Pierce. president Of the
national collegiate UNFOLDING the
attack on the famous sprinter's anna
teur status.
After unanimous committee
vote sustaining Paddock's amateur
standing, Macarthur radioed the fol-
lowing reply to General Pierce:
Your telegram apparently based
upon complete misunderstanding on
your part of my position and action
/ suggest you obtain from the press
the only statement which was given
out in reference to the resignation
OF George W. Wightman. of Boston,
from the Olympic committee. As YOU
y
Will see. none of the issues which
were discussed in your wire were
involved.
AS far as Paddock is concerned
or any other athlete appertaining to
the Olympic team the committee
would not hesitate to act had any
evidence been submitted prejudicial
to him. The selection committee
whose action is in no sense juridicial
and before whom Paddock i'd not
appear merely recommended to me
that Paddock be declared ineligible
and that his status was doubtful and
should be investigated before he was
selected.
This was done at my request by
the sports association which
primarily accredits him. I am in
formed that not only was no evil
dence submitted which in auv way
preludice1 his standing but sworn
statements made not only by himself
but by all others connected with the
alleged cosnmercialism were in conf
plete denial of such allegations. In
his case. l personally not only in
Nlted but sought evidence but alb
solutely nothing was forthcoming,
Certainly those who make the
charges against him should be will
ing and able to proclaim him a pro
with something more to substantiate
their accusation than whispered
lnnuendo. hearsay and comment. TO
defy the juridicial action taken bv
MS own sports association on these
grounds would not only be travesty
on justice but inaugurate policy
that would amount to an athletic
lynch law"

Although the announcement of
the officials OF the Hardware A. c.,
that plans for the staging OF outdoor
professional fights in this city this
summer have been abandoned, will
cause disappointment to the light
fans in this city. the officials of the
club find that too many difficulties
confront them.
Meeting with the finest sort of
cooperation from the officials of the
city OF New Britain. the club Off
Gals have time and again attempted
to lineup boxers who would most
probably have the best exhibitions
here. This was found to be impoe-
sible and combined with other tough
breaks the officials were forced
though reluctantly, to abandon their
plans
New Britain was set for plenty of
fistic entertainment this summer but
as it happens, there will be only one
outdoor show on the program. That
will be the boxing tournament to be
August s, at Willow Brook park in
connection with the police depart
ment field day.
Dan Healy is in hard training for
the marathon race which will be
one of the features on the athletic
program In the afternoon. He has
worked out several times at Walnut
Hill park and has gone as far as s
miles in his training stunts. Dan s
form is near perfect and we predict
that he will be recognized national
~ if he completes more often in big
ger and better meets.
Dan is recognized easily as the
leader OF distance men in this state.

star to appear in the marathon race
here and if he does, it will be
pretty battle between him and the

New Britain is sacrificing a good

his speed afoot.

The debate subject was Can We
Make People Good by Law?" DR..
John A. Lapp, professor of sociology
at Marquette university, Milwaukee,
upheld the affirmative. He is direc-
tor of the social action department
of the National Catholic Welfare

In opening his debate subject
Lapp pleaded that the prohibition
law be left out of the discussion, as
an entire evening would be needed

challenged his opponent to name an
unnecessary law which had a uni

Bridges took that opening to assail
prohibition.
He was greeted with a round Of
applause.
Some persons think that human

human nature is modifiable and that
scientific statutes will aid in making
people better. I do not believe that

Bridges took the stand that while
agreeing that law in the debate
meant statutes, Lapp failed to de-
