DRINKS

PARIS, May 15.-There are so
few "drunks in France that there
are no drunkenness tests. The
few times year usually on the
night OF July 18th and during the
New Year holidays when intoxl-
Gated men are found on the streets
of Paris or other French cities, they
are taken to the nearest police
station and discharged after verifi-
cation of their identity when they
have recovered their original self
control.
No charge is made against them
unless the technical offence has
been aggravated by disorderly con.
duct, and i'm France this seldom
happens. for the Frenchman is
more witty than disorderly when
drinking.
Motorists causing accidents while
drunk are more severely dealt with
however, and even though the mis-
haps be minor ones. driving licenses
are withdrawn and there ia often a
long term Of prison confinement.

lover Is let OIL IHOES easily 1udH Liz

The proof OF whether a motorlst
is drunk or sober Is merely deter-

though the outlook for success
against the University Of Pennsyl-
vania in Philadelphia Saturday is
gloomy, the Naval Academy foot
ball team, under Coach Bill Ingram.
began this afternoon course Of
preparation for this contest.
While the team has done poorly.
it is recalled that Naval Academy
teams have in former years started
off badly and improved greatly later
in the season. It is hoped that some
thing OF this sort will be in evidence
Saturday.
The older backs of the squad have
not played up to form. This is par
ticularly true of Lloyd and Clifton,
who were expected to be the back
bone of the Navy attack this year.
Clifton has been handicapped by
injuries to his head and leg, and
care will be taken to get him in as
good condition as possible for the
Penn game. Last year he was a
great line hitter, but has done almost
nothing this season.

One player constitutes the
"second string" team at West
ern High. He is James Thomp-
son and he must fill any po-
sition whenever necessity de-
mands.
When Coach Dan Ahern places
what he terms his first string team
on the field, Thompson is the only
player warming spot on the bench
for Western has but IL gridders
eligible to play. No wonder Coach
Ahern has a furrowed brow and
flIrtive look these days. Imagine
any football outfit with but one
substitute.
What's going to happen when
Western runs into Eastern High
on Friday afternoon in the Central
High Stadium in the first inter-
high championship game for the
West Enders. Suppose two or more
players are injured and can't con-
tinue play? Where will Ahern look
for requirements? Probably to the
school authorities who are directly
responsible for this condition.
The joke is the scholastic
eligibility ban which strikes
hardest at Western and Busi-
ness. Western has a squad Of
80 players. but Is are ineligible
for athletic competition under
the existing rigid rules which
prohibit q student below the
minimum average in any ono
subject from participating in
sports for the semester or until
he has erased the deficiency.
Part of the disbarred group
are "fIunIxies" and the rest are
transfers from Junior High and
other schools.
Ahern's position is tragic. He is
forced t. present makeshlft team
with players out of their original
positions, such as halfbacks filling
line positions and regular forwards
filling front row berths that are
new to them.
He may have another player for
service on Friday and the chap in
