Hoover Measures Part Of Big
Program Laid Before A. F. Of L.
'28 Convention in New Orleans

from Mr.. Hoover, called for the stor-
ling up governmental reserves of cash
for use when carefully prepared in
dices forecasted coming depression.
Congressional action and legislative
action in the states was called for
and in some cases has been effected.
A bill then before congress made an
appreciable beginning, but this bill
has not been enacted.
Asserting that the proposition
sought to reverse the tragedy of
starving in the midst of over-produc-
ton, or under-consumption, Frey, in
reading the Brewster speech in the
convention, said that the Brewster
speech was IAN endorsement of one
of the policies of this federation for
the purpose of relieving unemploy-
ment, through the utilization of re-
serve accumulated in times of plenty"
He continued, saying, 81 have never
seen document from public official
containing clearer grasp of more
effective expression of opinion" and
the governors received the endorse
ment of the president-elect to the
basic economic philosophy which
guides our movement and which we
have officially expressed" this en-
dorsement having been contained, he
made clear, in the authorization by
Mr.. Hoover to Governor Brewster to
expound the program in Mr.. Hoover's
name.
The Importance of recent events, in
that connection, is that they follow,
step by step, the program then laid
down. the program advanced by labor
and in that manner endorsed in New
Orleans, except for the fact that the
president has not had the advantage
of an accumulated fund from which
to draw nor of indices to indicate in
advance the depression that was ap-
preaching. The same may be said for
state governors, with a few excep-
tions.

Tom Mooney Asks Congress
10 Investigate Bombing;
Governor bod ges Decision

Washington, D. c. (ILNS) -Thom-
as J. Mooney, union molder, serving a
life sentence in California on evidence
that has been denounced as periured
by the judge who presided at his trial
and by many others, has sent a fer
vent plea to Senator Thomas D. Schall
of Minnesota, to push an investiga-
tion into his case. Mooney was con-
victed on charges of having exploded
the bomb which killed ten persons in
the Preparedness Day parade of 1916
in San Francisco.
In support of his appeal which is
printed in the Congressional Record
Mooney asserted the explosion was
part of dynamiting plot executed by
Louis ]. Smith, who was alleged to
have made a death-bed confession in
Cleveland, Ohio, and who, Mooney
said, was hired by German agents.
Mooney has charged he was framed" ;"
Il ask you," Mooney said, "to place
before congress an appeal for an in
vestigation of the entire matter, in
SO far as it has federal relationship
in that they committed this crime in
furtherance of their general plan OF
attack on the allies cause in this
country"
Schall Says Mooney Innocent
In asking that Moneys letter be
put in the Congressional Record, SEN
ator Schall told the senate;

Mooney. | want to do what / can to

bring about his release from the Cali
fornia prison where he has served ID
years for crime which he never COM
mitted.
"The governor of California, who
holds the right to pardon this inno-
cent man, will not do so because of
powerful influences within the state
who bid him not. This same gov
ernor is willing to give him a parole,
which would give Tom Mooney his
liberty but which liberty he will not
accept without the cleansing of his
name from this hideous crime of
which he has been enormously con-
victed."
Case Up to Parole Board
Sacramento, Calf. (ILNS)-Gov.
c. C. Young is evidently lodging q
decision on the Mooney case as he
has indicated he will let the decision
of the parole board be the final word
in the matter. The governor, who has
had the evidence before him for
months, has asked the board to inves-
tigate and recommend action on
Moneys pardon appeal.
Governor Young said he had been
blocked in a personal investigation by
the unwillingness of witnesses to
give information, and also said he
had been unable to form an opinion
after months of study.
While the state supreme court
considers the case of Warren K. Bill
lings, convicted with Mooney for the
bomb blast, the pardon board will be
studying the Mooney case.

WILLIAMS RETURNS
TO ALEXANDRIA HIGH

ALEXANDRIA, Va. September "a
Alexandria High Schools foot ball
stock took a sudden and unexpected rise
this morning with the return to school
of Pete williams and the circulation of
report that Bottles" West would also
re-enter the high school either today
or tomorrow.
williams played end on the Alexan-
dria High eleven that won the State
scholastic championship last Fall and
was also the highest scorer on the team,
accounting for many touchdowns by his
uncanny ability to receive and intercept
forward passes.
West performed at tackle on the same
eleven and. like williams, was men
toned on many all-State teams. Their
return will greatly strengthen the Ma
room and White for the contest with
Episcopal High on Hoxton Field Sat-
urday.
Capt. Sidney Hancock is definitely
out of the Episcopal game. and it Is
thought that it will require at least
three weeks before the big fullback can
make his return to the lineup. Han
cock suffered a recurrence of knee
injury in the Newport News game Sat-
urday, which Alexandria lost, 80 to 0.
Lee-Jackson High School basket ball
performers have organized for the i'm
pending cage season and have elected
Wilson Creel captain and Edwin Lynch
manager. The girls team has named
Bernice Norton captain and Flora Dyer
manager.
A meeting of the Glover A. c. has
been called for tonight at the home of
Lester Scott, 312 South Columbus street,

TACK exclusively.
This observer never has seen an
eleven more upset than one OF the
most poised of Notre Dame elevens
in one game when quick KICK
cleared the last defensive barrier,
as was designed, the ball rolling TO
the Hoosiers' 8-yard line before II
was retrieved.
Perhaps this was because Notre Dame
is organically attuned to expect runnliis
or passing plays on proper Downs IL
only because of the fact that her sys-
tenn is pretty much built on an otlen-
siye of that sort. In lots OF important
games you will see on early. downs tne

Yes, a coach will say, that Is all

will be as valuable as solid gold to any
coach who has taken the trouble te

His method of teaching men to kick
extensively was to have the kicker KICK

tered those who said this was all luck
by explaining that Wolverine players
had been carefully coached to watch
for fumbles and take advantage Of
them in just this manner.
Minnesota lost to Northwestern last
season when Calderwood picked up a
tumble, so I guess DR.. Spears would
join with me in my approval of the
rule. But do not recall many i'm
portant Big Ten games in which a
tumble and run turned the tide.
Oosterbaan and other truly great
players who did things like this were
worthy of the praise accorded them,
but there have been many others who
picked up fumbles and sped to the goal
and won various degrees of acclaim
they did not deserve.
These fellows were loafing around the
outskirts of the struggle instead Of
being in its thick, and their feats were
merely pieces of good luck.
The ohense is the most interesting
part Of foot ball, and anything that
will encourage it is to be welcomed.
Now that the danger of fumbles is
reduced merely to losing possession of
the ball. it is possible coaches will de-
velop more daring handling of the ball.
I don't think the lost opportunity to
score by a fumbled ball will ever be
missed by fans. coaches or players. To
the coaches who repine I suggest a
maxim, He who profits by tumble
must perish by it,"
The committee has reduced the i'm
portance of the kick for point after
touchdown by placing the ball on the
2. instead of the 3, yard line, You
may not think so, but that one yard
is highly important at that place on
the field. 1t is far easier to make
yards there than 3. The coach who
has no good kicker for the extra point
can develop running attack to gain
it. and his plunger will have better
chance to dive over the line.
The defensive team will have to be
more cautious, and not concentrate in
rushing in on the kicker. This may
give the kicker a little more time to
try for the extra point.

CENTRAL AND DEWITT
IN &C" CLUB CONTEST

Central High and Dewitt Prep elev-
&c" Club this year. in new departure
for this outside game, which usually
brings some out-of-town team into COM
petition with the Mount Pleasant squad.
Last night the contract for this game
was signed and the date set for Wednes-
day, November 81. 1t will be played in
the Wilson Stadium.
Coach Dan Ahern of Western found
encouragement in the return OF Eddie
BroWnfield stellar back, yesterday when
his huskies turned out for general
meeting preliminary to the initial work
out this afternoon. 1t had been noticed
that Eddie was training with the Emer-
son Institute eleven this Fall and ne
was expected to be enrolled in that
school. But, to his pleasant surprise,
the coach found Brownfield's cheerful
countenance among those present at
the meeting. Cheerful despite the fact
that his father had changed Eddie's
mind about schools rather abruptly. or
so runor has it. Anyway, Western Is
richer by the strongest veteran OF last
seasons line who was thought to be
lost to Emerson.
Louis Cox, however, who was counted
upon to strengthen the Red and White
end once more this season. has been
transferred to Shadd's School. His loss
will be felt, undoubtedly, though Ehern
reports an abundance of line material
from which he can select successor.
Sixty recruits have reported for foot
ball on the Hilltop.
1t Is hoped that Westerns squad will
be able to obtain the use of the Indus
trial Home School field for practice, but
If this request does not meet with ia
vorable consideration, the Burleith grid
iron will be pressed into service again.
Among the veterans expected to fig
ure in Westerns line, In addition to
Brownfield, are Gould, Draper, j.
Thompson, Capt. Owens, Bob Cook and
Ed Cook.

There are those who lament
that one of the great opportuni-
ties for thrilling feats has been
ruthlessly amputated from the
game, and they point to famous
occasions when hero has won G
niche in the hall of fame by scoop
ing up fumbled ball and turning
defeat into victory in the twinkling
of an eye.
It was my impression that after all,
long runs and dashes for touchdoWns
by players who had recovered fumbled
balls were far from common, and an
examination of the statistics compiled
by the foot ball historian, Parke H.
Davis. for Spalding guide confirms this
belief.
Mr.. Davis lists DAB famous runs"
from 1873 to the present and only 90
were made after the enshrined player
had picked up a fumbled ball. In just
IL instances his feat won the game.
Undoubtedly Mr.. Davis includes in
his 20 runs a number made by recover
ing a fumbled punt, something COM
mittees had legislated against before
this year.
We are also indebted to Mr.. Davis
for a summary of the principal scoring
plays Of 1928, which shows that Of 572
touchdowns only 81 were scored from
fumbles, and that only important
games were won in this manner.
Many players, it is true, have de-
servedly won fame by their alertness
in recovering fumbles. Sam White,
Princeton, is perhaps the classic ex-
ample of the player whose name went
down in history because he seized the
opportunity presented by tumble.
White grabbed a Yale tumble in 1911
and ran 60 yards for the winning
touchdown. Two weeks before he had
retrieved the ball on blocked kick and
had run IS yards to beat Harvard, so
naturally he won enduring fame.
When Michigan beat Minnesota in
1926 the Gophers apparently had the
wolverines safely conquered, but Benny
Oosterbaan bounced on fumbled ball
and ran 60 yards for touchdown.
