COACHES PUSH

gen game at that city Friday. Cal
5urtees viii likewise bear down on
the Junior College Scorpions in
preparation for. their game with
san Benito high Thursday after

Both squads are practically up to
full strength. The Eagles show in
ulcatlons Of being as strong as the
championship eleven Of last year.
The material is there If 1t can be
worked into the the hair-trigger
machine that represented the locals
On the grid last season.
II is probable that the following
backs viii start against Harrington:
Full, Barnhart; quarter. Newman
and halves. Cabler and Grove. This
gives a fast combination that can
run, kick and pass and that is fun
or tricks Barnhart and Newman
were bright lights on last years

Cabler. though ineligible. starred in
several games last season. Notably
in the DePaul contest. He has de-
veloped a fast spin that has consist
emily shook tacklers in scrimmage.
Grove was an end last year. He Is
fast a. full of grit. Fessenden
is pleased with his work at half.
The Eagle line. in it's various
combinations. has held well in p-ac-
tice scrimmages. No definite ar
yangement has yet been settled. as
there are several boys making
strenuous bids for first string
berths. Sylvester and Perez will
probably start az ends. Tackles and
guards are where the shifts are be-
ing made. Candidates for these
berths are as follows: Cortez, Ben
nett, both veterans. Summers. SAM
ano. Davenport and Moore. Robert
O'Bryan, all-Valley center, will
probably get his old post. He has
been used at other positions in
scrimmage, however.
Surtees has a good squad. and
probabilities are that he will turn
out the best eleven that has ever
represented the Junior college. He
would like q bit more time, how
ever. before the San Benito game

Al Gets the Rap

with all the talk about law enforcement the coun-
try has been wondering for long time how Scarface
al" Capone kept out Of prison.
But for some good reason his immunity didn't work
in Philadelphia.
The Philadelphia authorities did more than arrest
him Within fourteen hours after picking him up they
had him in prison under a one-yesr sentence.
The ofense is somewhat amusing in Capones case
He was sentenced for-of all things-carrying con-
cealed weapon.
Naturally. AL felt that this rank injustice
Hadn't he been toting gun for years, all over this
Iaw-broken country hadn't he been carrying around
small army of personal bOdyguards with stable
arsenal of concealed and not-so- concealed weapons
for years and in dozens Of cities?
If the authorities had any idea of really taking
seriously that law against having gat' on you why
hadn't he heard about it in Chicago, New York Flor
ida. and all the other places?
This is some city; they work fast here-but III
beat this rap yet" said Al as he was led away to
prison.
Philadelphia old lot yesterday to redeem its own
crime record To make this Job complete, Of course
the city will sec to it that Al doesn't beat the rap
In other words in the English all used until crime
became so commonplace. Philadelphia must see that
Capone serves this weI-earned term.

Foe to Cats

OF course, at the moment he is
~ without occupation. Before the
toWnhouse was sold he made a
career of keeping cats out of the
backyard. Flagg doesn't like cats.
I'm sorry to confess he has several
notches in his record.
The fence line was not continu-
Gus, owing to large brick extension
of the house just behind us. SO
at our fence the cats had to trans
ship, come across the yard, and get
back on the main line. In the
center of our yard there stood a
chestnut tree and it was possible
for an agile cat to drop in and make
a high branch before Flagg could
do anything about it.
When he roared the fugitive was
still safe enough, but the average
cat has a superiority complex. He
generally believed that he could
drop down to the yard and with a
quick spring make the far fence
again.
He never could. An aroused Flagg
was quicker than any feline Splinter
in the neighborhood All that I can
say in extenuation of his conduct is
the executions we're merciful. Death
was in every case instantaneous.

Prisoner No. $1,000 Elected

When the Standard Oil Company OF Indiana
stockholders refused to re-elcc chairman Robert
w Stewart because of his connection with the ma
tional oil scandals the press and the public generally
hailed new social conscience in the dscredted oil
industry
Now that the Sinclair Consolidated Oil Corpora
ton has reelected by a big majority Harry F Sin
clair Of Teapot Dome as its chairman. the public is
made painfully aware that part of the industry at
least ignores the demand for 2 house cleaning.
Meanwhile. Sinclairs direction of his companies
is somewhat crampcd by his three months visit in the
District of Columbia jail for contempt of the senate
That visit may be extended when the supreme court
gets to his jlry-shadowing case.
But Sinclair still manages to carry on under diff
culties In the midst OF his prison duties OF rolling

He COMPLAINS that writing so many business letters
has given him writer's cramp He needs secretary
He might have employed one of the other prison
ers as his private secretary but the jailer already has
taken his pocketbook for safe keeping.
Not that the multimlionaire, who is able to run
his oil business from behind bars, is considered in
competent to handle his own money. But it was al
legged that he was using his money too freely for the
somewhat old-fashioned standards which still obtain
in prisons.

CPEAKING of Zeppelins and goril-
- las, they used to tell us in school
the difference between men and
animals is that animals don't rea-
son. But as [ grow older I have
my doubts as to whether many men
do.
Nor did any teacher ever make me
understand just what is this thing
called reasoning. I've known ami
mails who got the hang of cause and
effect and if this isn't reasoning
what Is?
Captain Flagg,, who thinks he's an
airedale, can open a door by taking
the knob in his teeth, turning it
and then pulling toward himself. In
order to do this, he must take care
not to get his paws in the way so
he is pulling against himself.
In the beginning, the trick re-
quired five or more minutes of his
time. Now he does it in ten seconds
fiat. This seems to me just as re-
markable as learning to play golf or
billiards.
Of course Flagg, like most dogs,
knows certain words, and has a
fixed reaction to them. Here 1 see
no fundamental difference between
animals and human beings.
If say "out" to F'lagg, he'll rise
on his hind legs and raise a holler
and people will do the same thing
under the stimulus of the word
"Bolshevik" or "Communistic."

Yes there has been violence. There has been
