SCHOOL 5 PLANS

Indignant at what seems to be de-
lfberate neglect of their section OF
Washington, while the entire city
is planning for and gettins millions
for Improvement, the executive COM
mittee of the Northeast Boundary
Citizens Association last night
drafted an open letter protesting
agains the refusal to hear their
protest against the adopted lin
ADEQUATE plans" for an addition to
the Burrville School, Division Avenue
and Hayes Street Northeast.
With money enough given by Con-
gress to provide fast growing sec
ton what it had requested, and
with plans offered within the
amount in keeping with the terrain
at that point which is very ir-
regular, they charge that some in
fluence at Franklin School admins
tration building has opposed the
work and agreed to an uneconomic
and unsatisfactory arrangement
which does not use within $So'OOO OF
the sum.
In a new recommendation the
committee shows that by raising the
floor level of the assembly hall. five
feet, in the plans adopted, space be-
low the floor may be arranged to
provide for needs.
They claim that plans adopted
provide for three floors in a sub
urban elementary school, which is
unreasonable and unnecessary; that

admitted that despite the thorough
examination he gave the baggage

he found no liquor.

Of Walter Cram. of Chicago. a
brother.in.law Of MichaeIson. He
admitted the trunks seized at Jack.

legged to have contained liquor were
his trunks.
He testified these same trunks
had been brought into the United
States from Cuba by Michaelson
under his request, as Michaelson
had obtained the courtesy Of the
port. He denied any knowledge Of
the liquor being in the trunks.
Under cross-examination, Cram
admitted the party had only six
trunks when they left New York
and that three additional trunks
had been bought in Panama.
Asked II the trunks had been
purchased to accommodate two kegs
Of rum and 12 quarts of liquor al.

refusing to answer question as to
whether the trunks he had asked
Michaelson to bring in under his
courtesy contained liquor.
Q.-You asked Michaelson to

Riegels' Run Gave
Him Popular Favor

Berkeley, Calf, Jan. 29.-Offers Of
marriage, Of positions, presentation Of
bills, sympathy, congratulations ALL
Of these have come to Roy Riegels
since that famous run in the wrong
direction on New Years Day.
Riegels, like many before him who
did or said some unusual thing, has
been Swamped with letters from all
over the country since the California
Georgia Tech game. From Seattle to
Miami and from Maine to San Diego
and all points in between have come
several hundred letters.
The letters are from folk in all
walks of life and one fact stands out
In all Of them-no criticism or re-
proach Is made.
One marathon dancer offered her
hand in marriage.
Two southern girls from q Metho-
dist school had to sympathize, "even
though it is against the rules of the
school to write to strange men,"
Chuck Carroll, Washington half
back, was one Of many football stars
who advised Riegels ito forget it."
One old gentleman who keeps q
cigar store presented a bill for $1.20
which he claims he lost because Of
the run.
A Baltimore girl used the old adage.
ito err is human" In advising him to
try again.
One Of Riegels' friends, who has
read all the letters received. said one
could get the idea THAT Roy was
greater than Lindbergh. funnier than
Will Rogers. faster than Charles Pad
dock and better looking than John
Gilbert" from the letters.

Nibs Price Never
Played Grid Game

San Diego, CAL, Jan. 29.-(PE
Coach G. N. "Nibs" Price, who took
his place this season among the best
of Pacific Coast gridiron mentors,
started off on his coaching career
here in 1916, without the usual quail.
fication Of having played football.
A few more pages of the life OF this
36-year-old University Of California
coach must be turned back to get q
clear insight of his careers beginning.
Back during the days when football at
California meant rugby in knee pants,
Ia little fellow about five feet five
inches In height. and weighing not
more than 100 pounds, turned out for
practice. He learned a lot of rugby
before he graduated In 1914. A spell
in the army followed.
He came to this extreme southwest
ern corner of the country in 1916 to
take over the coaching reinS ut San
Diego high school. In his third year
he produced an outfit that swept
through all opposition and was de-
clared the best prep team in the state.
Whereupon the coaching fraternity
sat up and took notice, and the re-
suit was that Price was offered by the
University of California q job coach
ing Q game he had never played He
was just as successful leading the
bear cubs as he was 1t San Diego.
The rise or Price at the Berkeley In.
stitution from that date on Is an open
book to gridiron fans.

Seven of Eight Teams Are
Making Money After 10
Years of Failure
CELTICS HELP INTEREST
Cleveland Pushes Fort Wayne
for First Half Title of Pro
Circuit

New York, Jan. 29.[P)-Prcfessional
sports that pay have new unit. It
is pro basketball.
The court game after failing as a
money maker for eight or 10 years is
proving profitable to seven of the
eight teams in the American Basket
ball League, says John j. OBrien,
president.
One of the big reasons for the sue
cess of the pro version of the major
winter sport Is the presence Of several
of the original Celtics. the greatest
basketball combination Of all time.
Cleveland. battling with Fort Wayne
for the first half title, has three of
the old Celtics.
The American League Is the sue
ccssor to the old circuit with that
name. The first organization so la
beled was a financial failure princi-
pally because the Celtics were unbeat-
able and ran away with the cham
pionship each year.
But the invincible outfit was broken
up and those Of its members desiring
TO stay in the pro game are helping
build up, instead Of tearing down, as
they inadvertently did in days past.
O'Brien credits the trio Of Joe Lop-
chick. Dutch Dehnert and Pete Barry.
performing at Cleveland with having
kept interest at a high pitch In the
Ohio city. And their presence In the
league, along with that of two Of
their old teammates, Nat Holman
and Davy Banks Of the New York
entry. O'Brien contends. has stimuli
lated interest throughout the circuit
The new league has shattered at
tendance records for pro basketball
says O'Brien. There have beer
crowds as high as 1000. All Of this
the president feels, results from thu
new way Of doing things.
Hippodroming in connection with
deciding the league championship ha.
been eliminated. II the team win

ceive q bonus and there will be n,
