YoSt Finds No One Section has
 Football Supremacy
By Fielding II, YOst

Ann Arbor, Mich, Oct. II Pl- Questions of sectional superiority influence beget partisan support and argument. Mythical divisions be- tween the middle west and east have been talked" for years.
 Now supporters of the west coast and the old south seem anxious to break an argumentative lance with my opponent.
 Prospects are perfect for perpu- tual vocal and typewrite clevage be- tween the sections, the differences impossibilitY of decision.
 The Pacific coast generally Is heralded as section of strong teams. AS only limited number of schools can finance intersec- tion winning five with one a tie. Only one of these games, Chicago's 26 to defeat of Washington, was against a Big Ten team. Against eastern teams the coast won nine and tied one.
 The above statistics disclose the south is the football power when meeting teams of the west coast.
 Any football expert from New York or New England. however, can call to mind the vast number of games the eastern coast has won from the old south and establish the dominance of the east
 Accepting eastern statistics and being logical at the same time, it would follow that the east is bet ter than the south, and therefore better than the coast.
 But an eastern team has not won from coast team in five years. if the records available here are com plete.
 The real facts probably are that there is little difference in football over the United States. The west coast has one advantage, a climate which enables athletes to work out doors the year around.
 For five of the school months, the eastern and middle western athlete is within doors. In the south the extremes of temperature handi- cap athletes. Football has led me into all but one of these sections, and business into the other.
 My playing days were in the east. The teaching years were at

Inter-Church Managers
 To Discuss Basketball

Plans for the coming basketball season will be talked over at a meet ing of the board of managers of the InterChurch league at 7:30 o'clock this evening at the Y. M. C. A., and it is hoped that plans may be laid for getting play under way at reas- onably early date. All churches which already have representation on the board have been asked to have their managers present. while others interested in putting either senior or junior teams on the floor this winter have been requested to send representatives to tonight's ses- sion.
 Last year the First Lutherans de- feated the South Congregational, St. Marks Episcopal and Swedish Beth any teams in the senior league and then went on to cop their second successive state title. In the junior loop the South Congregational team won from a field made up of quin- tets from the First Lutheran, Trinity M. E., St. Marks Episcopal, Center Congregational, and First Baptist churches.

D0HENY TRIAL
IS NEAR CLOSE
Jurors viii Get oil Bride
Case by Thursday.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, March 19.-The
Doheny bribery trial went into its
final phases today when the defense
rested it's case after less than three
days of testimony in behalf of the
millionaire defendant.
Closing arguments will be con-
Guided Thursday, after which the
jury of nine men and three women
will begin their task Of deciding
whether Edward L. Doheny gave
former Interior Secretary Albert B.
Fall a 100000 bride in return for
valuable naval oil leases.
Frank J. Hogan, chief defense
counsel, arguing that the prosecu-
ton had not shown evidence in sup
port of the indictment, again moved
for a directed verdict of acQuittal.
Justice William Hitz overruled the
motion.
The defense maintained the $780,
900 paid by Doheny to Fall in 1921
was a loan and not bride and
based it's case upon testimony of a
score of character witnesses, navy
department and oil men. The aged
oil man and his wife both testified,
their appearance supplying the most
dramatic moments of the trial thus
far.

Behind closed doors and under
the guise OF a law enforcement
meeting, state police have furnished
their chief, Otto G.. Fif1eld, secre-
tary of state, with political reports
which today are regarded as eX-
ceedingly pessimistic.
Using the need for new uniforms
as a cover-up, State Police Chief
Robert T. Humes, several days ago
ordered all state police into Indian
apolis to be measured.
Tuesday morning upon their arrival
the police were notified that Fifield
would be their host at a luncheon
at the SEVERN.
No sooner were the tables cleared
than Humes said:
I'VE are meeting here for three
purposes: New uniforms, a discus
sion of police work, and the third,
and most important, reports on the
political situation.
Wants Political Contacts
Fif1eld gravely shook his head in
assent as Humes turned to him.

Humes, that during the last ses-
sion of the legislature many of you

Doorman's Right to Affix

KINNEY ORDERS INQUIRY
Safety Board Is in Doubt as
to Authority of 'Spe-

Motorists today faced another
complication in downtown parking
when it was learned that the door,
man at the Hume-Mansur building,
on East Ohio street, Tuesday placed
a sticker on a car parked in the
leading zone in front of the build
ing.
The zone is one city officials have
allowed to be heightened to fifty
four feet and for which no fees, as
required under the city ordinance,
have been paid.
Albert F. Meurer, former council
man, who is fighting maintenance
of unpaid for loading zones, wit
messed the incident nj front Of the
building Tuesday, he said.
Ambrose j. Hornberger, 1879
Kelly street, parked his car in the
space.
Doorman Applies Sticker
After Hornberger entered the
building the doorman took the Ii
cense number and, according to
Meurer, walked to Pennsylvania
street, half-block distant, and told
Traffic Officer Downs, on duty there.
that the car was parked in the space.
Shortly after he returned with a
flled-out sticker, which he placed
on the car.
When Hornberger returned at 3:15
p. m. Meurer awaited him and told
him what he had seen. They at
tempted to find the police officer, but
he had been relieved at 8 p. m,
Meurer said.
Meurer questioned the doorman,
who said he had special police pcw-
ers, delegated by the safety board,
Meurer said. The doorman then
charged Meurer with trying to get
my job," and refused to say
whether building officials had au-
thorized him to obtain stickers for
parked autos, Meurer stated.
They're in Doubt
When Charles Meyers, safety
board president, was told about the
situation today, he said he did not
believe that was the regular prac-
tice"
He admitted, though, that as
president Of the board he was not
sure of the extent of the powers
granted special policemen by his,
GARD, but intimated a special police
officer has the same power as po-
liceman lin his territory" He said
he will investigate.
Building officials said the space in
front of the building was heightened
by police because of the congested
traffic that resulted when sick per-
sons we're getting out of cars to go
to Offices of physicians in the build
ing.
Police Chief Jerry Kinney began
an immediate probe of the reported
incident.

by their first names, but did not
even know their last names. You
should form close contacts with
these men and if possible report to
them once or twice a week"
And Fif1eld nodded assent.
1t was recalled by the policemen
present that during the 1929 legiS-
lature several measures were intro
duced seeking to place state police
under direction of the Governor,
because secretaries of state have
used the police to further their own
political ambitions.
1t was only by a strenuous fight
that Fifield was able to retain con-
troll, promising, it was said, that
the department would not be used
as a political tool.
Cites Newspaper Grief
Fifeld then declared: THE re-
port has come to me that some
Republican newspapers are only
police should not become candidates
nomination and reelection. Talk to
them and report two or three times
a week to them and give them all
the news you can"

police should not becomee candidates
for public Office in the counties
where they reside, unless they re-

This location, according to astror-
omers, is slightly south and to the
west of the brightest star directly
above us, if we look at the sky at 8
o'clock local time. This bright star,
Po' ux, is close to almost as bright
star, Castor, both of which are
termed "The Twins"
Another way to locate the new
planet is to face north and first
locate the we'll known big Dipper."
This group of stars, forming a large
dipper in the sky, will be found to-
ward the northeast horizon, the
two end stars along the outer part
of the dipper pointing toward the
North Star. Coming back due south
from the North Star our eyes will
detect The Twins, Castor and Pol
lux, directly overhead.
The new planet, although 1870
million miles away from our earth,
is quite close to us, as stellar dis
tances go, while the stars like Castor
and PolluX are millions upon mil
lions of miles farther. The reason
why we can't see the planet is the
extremely small amount of the suns
light that it reflects toward us. Due
to it's extreme distance from the
sun, it gets much less light than
even the planet Neptune which re-
ceiveS one nine-hundredth the light
we get.

signed. because sit might draw Mr..
Fifield into political controversies"
But" Humes added, you can be
elected delegates to the state con-
vention without resigning."
Fifield nodded assent.
Humes pointed out the future of
the policemen was tied up with that
of the secretary of state, and that
if they wished to feel secure they
should cooperate in obtaining FL
fields nomination and reelection.
You all should realize that your
future depends on the coming cleo
ton and everything depends on the
nomination and reelection Of Mr.
Fifield." HumeS said.
Fifield nodded assent.
While each policeman made his
report. Humes and Fifield asked
questions:
Ayres Fails to Hush
Lieutenant c. H. Ayres of Port
land was in the midst of describing
the attitude of the newspapers in his
section when a reporter from a
morning newspaper walked in.
A panied look appeared on FL
fields face.
Policemen sitting about whispered
to Ayres to shut up" but, being
slightly hard of hearing, the police
lieutenant continued telling Of the
prevailing dissatisfaction until

The reporter, sublimely uncon-
scious of the disturbance his advent
had created, got a great many de-
tails concerning the work (nonpolit-

meeting adjourned without Ayres
finishing his report.
Prominent among the police pres
