R eligious S Christmas
Paralyzes Country

BELGRADE, Jan. 8.-The sick
eningly sweet paralysis of an Ortho-
dox Christmas lies over Jugo- Slavia
Everybody who believed in god ac-
cording to the official state religion
got drunk yesterday and is not in q
political mood today. 1t is certain
that this is one of the things counted
upon by King Alexander and the
secret murder organization of army
officers calling itself the "White
Hand" who now rule the country
dictatorially.
Discomfort is beginning to show
itself in Croatia, among the work
ers. In the first flush of enthusiasm
for the destruction of the centraliz-
ing pro-Serb constitution there were
some parades of people shouting
Long live the king" and Vlado
Matchek, leader of the Croat Peas
ant party, announced that he was
entirely satisfied with the situa-
/ ton.
However, one of the first acts of
the new cabinet has been to outlaw
the Croat Peasant Party, and the
Bosnia-Herzogovinian Mohammedan
party as part of a general decree
dissolving all political parties formed
on nationalistic or religious basis.
If Matchek still approves of the new
government, he is proved in the eyes
of his followers a traitor to them.

Lure OF "Free" Job an
Old Fake IN NeW Gulse
By HARRISON GEORGE.

With the assurance of the New
York Times, which said that at go
Seventh Avenue, Ralph E. Dalton,
president of the workers Ethical
and Community Centre" had opened
free employment bureau with a
promise of a job and bed" in fair
weather or foul "to any person join
ing the organization" we approached
the three-story building housing the
new Messiah with reverent tread.
Outside, a sign said that every
day at 2, lectures are given on
Economies, Politics and Religion. T"
Modest beginnings. Next week we
may expect lectures on Life in this
and Other Planets" Free.
Everything is "free" in this latest
institution to solve the unemploy-
ment problem. If you don't think
there is such problem, go hunt for
work. Everything is given "free"
by Mr.. Dalton, providing you pay
for it. "Got to charge something to
keep the Boweryebums away he
explained to few none too pros
porous workers eager for the mil
lenium.
Dalton was holding forth to his
small audience. A young worker
with a tendency to talk, provoked
unlimited garlands of rosy dreams
from Dalton. We learned that the
organization supplied employers
with guaranteed slaves. References
must be O. X. Every time man
goes to job, his reference go along
with him. A copy remains here in
my files" Note the "my," of this
Organization" We later learned
that it is "going to have" a board
of directors. Who is to elect or
select them remains unknown. At
great length we were told how and
why the employers must be pleased
with the. Organization" by sending
them the "kind of men they want. "
The workers desire as to the kind
of bosses they want was not men
toned. Painful subject.
"Jobs? The town is simply lousy
with jobs" we were told. Cup on
58th Street there's Jobs for 500 men.
And just think what it will be when
ten or twelve solicitors get out. I've
been sick and couldn't give my time
to this work for a couple of months,
but when get going there'll be
jobs for everybody"
The young worker mildly expostu-
lates that he knows lots of good
citizens" who can't find work. Dali
ton reverses his engine without
stripping his gears. Fright. No
body can promise you job. It's
against the law to promise man a
job. Look at these employment Oh
fices that promise jobs. They take
your money and you find there's no
job to be had. We're going to run
them out of business with our free
employment office. Wait until my
bill passes Congress for $8,000,000
to start free employment bureaus all
over the country"
If you wait long enough Dalton
will deliver everything. We will tell
tomorrow of additional wonders to
be had on Seventh Avenue by the
unemployed of New York.

but rough work Is ahead.
Coach Abel has not been hurrying
the development of His squad. Only
a few plays have been given the men
and these have been run over and over
and over again.
The new head coach Is using an en-
tirely different style Of play from that
which the Virginians, varsity and fresh
men. were taught last year. ConSe-
quently Coach Abel and his staff are
having to spend much more time with
fundamentals.
Now that two weeks have gone by
team tactics are being stressed.
In forming sort of embryonic
first team, Coach Abel has used many
combinations in the line. But he has
gether in the backfield. These are

CHARGES OF OFFER
TO GR|DDER DENIED
John Carroll Player Says He
Was Not Approached
by Ohio State.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
@LEvELAND, September 12.-Of-
fers of room, board and tuition
to Ted RoSequist, sophomore at
~ John Carol University of
Cleveland, for playing foot ball
at Ohio State University were denied
today both by Rosequist and Hal Ellis,
Ohio State senior, whom Coach Ralph
Vince, Carroll coach, accused yesterday
of attempting to buy his star tackle.
Ellis and Rosequist made joint state
ment to the Associated Press this morn
ing, in which they asserted that Vinces
charges were groundleSS. RosequiSt
denied that he had received any offer
from Ellis, that he had told Vince OF
such an offer, or that he had been in
communication with athletic officials at
Ohio State.
Ellis asserted that he had gone no
further than to volunteer to aid Rose
quist in obtaining a position at Column
bus to help HIM in defraying his school
expenses.
II do not even know Coach Sam VIII
liam at Ohio State. nor any of the
officials of the athletic board" Ellis as
serted. II was not acting In any official
capacity. but merely as a student anx-
ious to bring good athletic material to
Ohio State"
Rosequist denied that he had told
Vince of any offer from Ohio State ON
Gals or any alumni to furnish the
finances of his college career.
What did say" Rosequist said,
was that saw better opportunity to
benefit myself in an athletic career after
leaving school by attending Ohio State
than John Carroll, much smaller
school. Personally, would entertain
no offer to commercialize my athletic
ability while a student at q college or
university"
Rosequist was uncertain what he
would do. He made application for adj
mittance to Ohio State Monday, but
said he had not received reply from
the registrar. Vince charged that Rose
quist had told him he was leaving be-
cause of an offer from Ellis that all his
expense funds would be supplied, in adj
dition to employment which could be
carried along with his scholastic and
athletic activities.
Ohio State officials denied all knowl-
edge of the affair. Willaman said he
had never heard Of Rosequist or Ellis.

Christian K. eagle, captain and
half back of the Army foot ball
team, is bound to be marked man
in every game. He can do any
thing we'll on attack-dodge, squirm,
leap, side-step, whirl, change pace
straight-arm and run like a scared
rabbit.
Thus when he occupies the No.
back position, as per accompany
ing diagram, it's well to watch him.
Chris viii begin slowly backing from
the line. Suddenly the ball is snap
ped to him and he is on like blue
streak to the right with ample in
reference. It's an end run. dollars
to doughnuts, every one thinks. And
that's Just the impression that
comes to the defensive backs. They
have been told to watch eagle. Up
they come to stop him before he can
pass the line Of scrimmage and get
into the open. Once there, eagle is
as unstopable as hootch leaks along
our lengthy borders and coast lines.
But eagle doesn't always run the
end. Now and then end No. bumps
the opposing tackle and then cuts
downfield at a IS degree angle, as
shown, right between the defensive
backs. Bang, eagle hits him with a
bullet-like forward passl That pass
caught both Harvard and Yale nap
ping on successful 1928 Saturdays
and will be a factor in Army attack
this Fall. But foxy old Pop Warner
of Stanford, stopped 1t and all Army
passes with a defensive idea every
fan and player ought to know.
