OEHL.ER CASES
UP FOR TRIAL
Darrow, LaborDefense
Demand Postponement

KANSAS CITY, Kansas, Jan. %.
Hugo Oehler, district organizer
here for the Workers (Communist)
Party of America, and four others,
including the local secretary of the
international Labor Defense, East
wood, appeared in court today to
answer framed up charges of Grim
inal syndicalism.
Clarence Darrow is working on
the case. The defense began with
an argument for postponement, as
insufficient notice was given them
about the calling of the case today.
1t has been hanging fire in the
courts since the arrest during the
election campaign last year.
Arrested at Meetings.
The argument for postponement
was not ruled upon at latest no
tice.
The Oehler case was that of the
arrest of speakers for the Workers
Party candidates in the national
elections last year. Police followed
speakers to two meetings, and ar
rested them at each. They have nc
evidence of violation of the criminal
syndicalism law, statute pat
termed after that Of California
thru which many workers have been
sent to prison for long terms, on
periured evidence that the organ
izations they belonged to practiced
destruction of proDerty.

National Office of the Interna-

way, New York, states that very
suddenly, important labor cases in
several states which have been drag
ging along in the courts for some
time, have been rushed to trial
simultaneously, or nearly so. 1t is
as though a concerted drive against
workers were being made by the
state authorities, to try and make
it difficult for an adequate defense
of any of them. There are now be-
sides the Oehler case in Kansas, the
Biedenkapp and Mineola cases in
New York, the New Bedford par
aders case in Massachusetts, with
the trial of 662 picketers coming
soon, the Cheswick and Woodlawn
cases in Pennsylvania, and the just
ended federal court Oswaldo cases
in Philadelphia, all on trial at once.

mn ARBoR, Mich, November
~ 20.-The lad who specialiZes IN
IA drop kicks has yielded his place
one who can pitch forward
passes that click in the pinches.
A few years ago game after game
would be scoreless outside of a single
deciding drop-kick. But the age Of for
ward passing has changed all that
checked over the scores of 32l
college games played during the first
half of this season and found but one
score listed as 3 to o. That was for
the MISUNDERSTANDING game which the
former won.
other games where there was more
scoring probably were decided by drop
kicks, but there certainly weren't very
many. Yet there were many in which
these forward pass performers figured
prominently.
Scores Increase.
This development doubtless is respon-
sible for the steady increase in total
scores. Obviously scoring plays involv-
ing pinch forward passes produce
greater totals than scoring plays In
Volving mere drop-kicks.
Comparing the scores Of 321 games
and 1929, found the added scores OF
both teams was higher in 178 games and
lower in 143. These games included all
played by 1913 teams in which opponents
this year were met at some time last
year.
The most marked scoring tendency
of the year was revealed by Eastern
teams, Pennsylvania and West Vir-
ginia being included in this territory.
There 90 games had higher total than
a year ago while SO had smaller.
Changing Schedules.
The Middle West, Ohio to the
Rockies, played 80 games with larger
scores and 40 with smaller. Teams of
this section displayed distinct ten
dency to meet few Of the teams this
year which were played year ago.
The South, from the Atlantic Sea-
board to Texas, had slightly larger
scores than a year ago, the higher
marks leading "a to 20, while the
mountains and the coast, included In
the Far West classification. have re-
duced scoring, largely because important
games found their place in the October
battles.
Of these Far West games, % had
larger scores than year ago, while 80
had smaller.

VIRGINIA SEEKS WAY
TO STOP TARHEELS

UNIVERSITY, Va, November 30
Perfecting a defense against the Notre
Dame style of play Is occupying much
of the time of Virginia's varsity foot ball
SQUAD which Is preparing for the final
game of the season against North Caro-
lima In Chapel Hill on Thanksgiving.
Last Saturday Washington and Lee
gave the Cavaliers an introduction to
Rockne's plays. And to say the least,
the Virginians did not like it very much.
w. and L. gained Is first downs using
the South Bend shift and crossed the
Cavalier goal line twice.
North Carolina has had three sea-
sons of tutoring in Notre Dame forma-
tionS. The Tar Heels have become we'll
nigh perfect in their Irish tactics, and
the Virginians expect to have much
more difficulty smearing plays in Chapel
Hill than they did in Lexington.
Consequently Earl Abel, varsity head
coach, has called for considerable de-
fensive practice.
Virginia hasn't much choice of line
material, but Coach Abel is giving all
of his aSsortments of backs an oppor-
tunity to show what they can do on
defense. And the best four men prob
ably will win starting positions against
the Tar Heels.
