One of the fine things about roller polo is the way the really great play CTS coach along the youngsters. A great example of this was given in yesterdays game when Williams and Peregrin teamed up on the rush line in the third period against Fall River. Williams time after time passed to Peregrin to give him a chance to score but Peregrin was evidently nervous and he missed.

laileS' Moves Mystify


 Mexico City. April s. R-Mysteri- ous maneuvers by General Putarco Elias Calles-almost startling in their suddenness-were believed to- day to be aimed at crushing the so- called religious rebellion in South Central Mexico.
 Dispatches from AEuascaiientes, in the heart of the country of the "Cristeros," as the religious insur- gents are called, told of the arrival of the federal generalissimo with three trainloads of picked soldiers. It was not known where the troops and their leader were to so but movement further south into the state of Jalisco was presumed Gen. eral Gales purpose.
 Other troops of General eral Gales to wage war Of "exter- imitation" against the religious in- surgents, were already in Jalisco and neighboring Guanajuato and there was tendency here to take Gales appearance at Aguascalients as evil dence Of his determination to rid the government of clements which have troubled it for two years, although until now usually held in check to prevent serious advances by local garrisons in the affected states.
 May Be Final Clash
 Lacking official information re- garding the maneuver of General Gales some were inclined to think it represented an attempt to reach the scene of operations on the west coast before an expected declsiN C battle takes place there. It was be- lieved such a battle might be the last important clash in the present revolt.
 The presence of their chief in the field with them probably would hearten the Mexican federal troops. who, however, have been quite sue cessful under existing circumstances. They, occupied Cuiacan. capita of Sinaloa. Saturday. and were pushing on today toward Sanhlas, where there ha,e been various indications the rebel Generals Ramon lturbe and Roberto Cruz would make a stand,
 As in Chihua hua few could see other than certain and crushing de feat for them. Observers believed General Gales if quick enough might aid in the defeat Of the Cruz-Iturbe forces and prevent the union with Generals Escobar and t'auto Topete which many believe the only hope for continuation Of the revolution.
 Military Problem Passes There is almost unanimous agree. | ment that there is no longer any inn portant military problem in Chihua | hua-indoed the presence of Genera | Gales in Aguascalientes. seEera i hundred miles from the scene Of the l Chihuahua pursuit might he taken as 1 certain indication that such is the 1 case.
