career, Stanislaus has disposed Of

Gently he tossed the veteran
Stecher, still a top-notcher, in a
Pacific Coast grapple.
The veteran ZbySzko has many
unique traits. One Of his peculi-
arities used to be a preference to
wrestle in his bare feet.
He is exceptionally bulky and
a strong man with it. One Of bis
matches years ago lasted around
five hours. At the termination of
that period, Stanislaus was still
fresh and willing, although his
opponent had succumbed largely
because of exhaustion.
A ZbyszkO story that will
stand rehaShing is q war time
incident. Stanislaus, q Pole,
was serving the allied cause
in Russia.
During the course of his cam
paigning. if memory serves, the
big fellow fell into the hands of
Russian revolutionists.
Brought to trial it was de-
cided that Zbyszko should wrestle
for his life. If he won he could
keep living. Otherwise, he would
be forced to change his plans.
An exceptionally rugged and
powerful opponent was selected
and sent to the mat against Stan
islaus.
Graphing with his life at
stake, the story goes, Zbyszko was
unbeatable. And after he had
thrown his man the revolution
lists, true to their word, not
only spared his life but released
him.

Business, by that time got tc
work for their seasons. Eastern
was the most fortunate of this
trio in that it had a spacious field
on which to practice and a large
squad, some so men, the largest
Coach Kelley has ever had report
to him for football.
Western had 13 men to start
practice on a dinky little field
''Somewhere in Georgetown"
while Business had only the
Monument Grounds where it's
players had to trek to and fro
each day after school to practice.
Neither of these three teams
were blessed with an over amount
of veteran players, in fact,
Eastern did not have one expert
enced man, with the probable
exceptionSof Charlie Mades, guard,
who got in a sin"'e quarter during
the season of 1929.
Western and Business fought
it out for the cellar. Western won
by finishing next to last. Busi-
ness was hard hit as usual. but
this time by virtue of injuries to
most dependable players, chiefly.
Bill Duryee, star backfield man.
Eastern, with a green collection
of players, finished next to Tech,
chiefly through the excellent
coaching of Mike Kelley, who
certainly brought everything pos
sible out of an inexperienced lot
in so short time as the footbaA
season.
Then came the selection of
the All-High football team.
Tech was hOnOred by six
unanimous selections. Eastern
was represented by two or
three players on different
teams. Western produced one
man, Business, one. as second
team material.
The games. None were OF the
thrilling type with the possible
exception of the Western-C Central
encounter which Central barely
won. Ali were decided by one
sided scores, even the Tech-East-

after a very interesting first
half in which Eastern played the

Confirmation, then denials and
finally statements that Rauber
would still be at the helm when
another season rolled around,
made themselves readable in the
prints. Certainty that Rauber
will be at Central another season
is not a known fact yet as there
are still firm beliefs that he will
be succeeded by another individ

Tech was at College Park while
Central was at Annapolis on the
campus of the st. Johns College
of that place. Both teams got
in two weeks of strenuous prepara-

a little more advanced than the
other teams in the high school

COMMUNICATION
Editor of the Patriot,

Editor of the Patriot,
 Dear Sir
 Your continual iibes at Prohibition in your editorials make me thorough ly disgusted Are you in the pay of the Association against Prohibition or some similar organization like the Wine-growers of France? You seem to be doing your best for the liquor men to break down prohibition and re-establish the sale of liquor under legal protection. You speak about the non-enforcement of prohibition but you vets don't want to have it enforced and are doing your best to prevent 1t and thus foster the spirit of lawlessness and bad citizenship. Of course no law is absolutely en- forced. else We would have no rob berries or murder The experience of the ten years under prohibition have amply demonstrated that this is the only and most effective way to bring the evils of liquor selling and drinking to a minimum. Certainly, even with imperfect enforcement. conditions are immensely better than they used to be. and we are determined to main tain prohibition and work forever to
 
 make 1t more and more of a success. If you were really in favor of tenn psraucs and doing away with the evils of drink you would see from the experience of Canada that the gov ernment sale of intoxicants Is a big failure. that under it drinking has doubled and the fatal automobile ac- eidents have also doubled, and boot logging, instead of being done away with. has vastly increased and is more difficult of conviction. l should think you would be ashamed to be trying Co hinder and thwart the lifelong efforts of good people like Allen E. Lincoln, to do away with the evil of drink, and to join yourself with the most law less and disreputable clements in the country. Give us rest in your jtbes at prohibition.
 Yours sincerely,
 Rev. Harvey Nj. Lawson

To Install Crime
 Detecting System
Telephone Typewriters to Connect State Police Headquarters With All Barraeks-Most Comprehensive in
 u 5.

Commissioner Robert T. Hurley of the state police has announced that arrangements have been completed with the Southern New England Tel ephone Company for the installation of telephone typewrites system con meeting headquarters in Hartford with each of the eight barracks in the state, and providing thus one of the most comprehensive crime dissemin- ating information systems in the United States. Similar equipment is now interconnecting the police de- partments in fifteen cities of this state, the Motor Vehicle Department and the Springfield Police Department While the two systems will not be in- terconnected. arrangements are to be made so that alarms may be broad cast over both networks if desired. In this way a wider circulation of circulation of crime information is accomplished.
 It is expected that the state police system will be installed and working about August 1.
 There will be two telephone tpye- writers in the office of the commis- sioner SO that messages may be sent and received at the same time. The barracks at Canaan. Stafford Springs, and Danielson will be on individual lines. with the headquarters here, while the barracks at Beacon Falls, Westport and Ridgefield will be on another circuit. The barracks at Westbrook and Groton will be on a fifth circuit.
 Direct to Barracks
 The system permits the commits sioner's office to send messages to the barracks individually or collec- lively. this being done through the switchboard at headquarters by means of which the terminating point or points may be determined. By means of the equipment in the bar racks messages may be sent to head quarters or to other barracks. there by providing the same flexibility found in telephone service.
 With this system accurate type written messages are flashed to any or ali barracks at single operation. The operator simply typewrites the message on a keyboard similar to that on the standard typewriter he sees what he writes, and the message is automatically recorded at the receiv- ing point Each message sent is print ed in clear. legible type, thereby elim- mating any chance for misunderstood ing. and 1t makes available a perman- ent record in typewriter form not only at the sending point but at the receiving points as well.

EXALTED RULER
 ALSO GRAND JUROR
Supreme Court Upholds Flee ton of Frank M Bedard
 of Brooklyn
Has Already Qualified for His New
 Office

Frank M. Bedard of Brooklyn IS Exalted Ruler of Putnam Lodge of FIks. He passed through the chairs to the highest office in the lodge in the natural course and without expe- riencing any trouble.
 Mr. Bedard is a grand juror of the town of Brooklyn. He did not md the path to his political office quite so easy. It was strewn with oosta- cles. However, Mir. Bedard appealed from 4 decision of the moderator of the town election which counted him out and was upheld by the superior court. The town of Brooklyn refused to abide by the decision of Judge AL lyn Brown of Norwich and appealed to the court of last resort, the supreme court of errors. The supreme court says that Mir. Bedard Is a duly elected grand juror and he has qualified for the office.
 Moderator's Ruling
 Upon announcing the results of the halloting. in Brooklyn last October, Moderator r. E. Cunneen did not de- clare Mir. Bedard. candidate on the republican ticket, elected because the warning for the meeting specifically set forth that only five candidates for grand juror should be elected, though there were six candidates for the place. Mir. Bedard received the small est number of votes of any of these candidates.
 However, through his counsel, At torney E. l.. Darbie, Mir Bedard con- tended that it had long been the prae. tice in Brooklyn to elect six grand jurors, and this arrangement could not be legally changed until such change was authorized in town meet ing. which had not been done.
 This contention now has been up held both in the superior court and in the supreme court and Mir. Bedard gets listing as a grand juror ot Brooklyn. No similar case is recalled to have arisen in territory hereabouts and the outcome of the matter ha; been awaited with special interest both in Brooklyn and in Killingly.
