UMPS MORAN
FAVORS Is
ON SQUAD
BY KIRK MILLER

BY KIRK MILLER
Coach Charles Moran, Of Cataw-
ba College, Salisbury, N. c. would
apply certain baseball principles
10 football.
Moran is the Big league umpire
who calls 'em as he sees 'em dur
ing the summer time in the ma
tional league and it is his idea
that a college football squad
should be limited to rs players
He believes too that the larger
universities with the big reputa-
fions gobble UP all the good high
school players in their scouting
activities and thereby handicap
The smaller institutions who have
TO take what is left. Says Moran:
"There would be more good
Clubs II some Of the larger
universities didn't get all the
good men. am an favor Of
allowing but 25 men to . foot
ball squad, just as baseball
limits its number after June
Is.
'OThese 25 men should be
decided ON by October Is and
should play the.season
throughout. In case q Substl-
tuition is made for any one OF
these Is players, the man be-
ing relieved should be out Of
football for the remainder Of
the season and the incoming
player take his jersey and
keep it,"
Eligibility Attacked
Moran also has some fault TO
find with the eligibility systems
in common use throughout inter
collegiate football. He thinks
many boys sign to conform to Ger
tain rules and that in so doing,
know they have omitted certain
facts as to their football past.
His remedy for this is to bar such
players forever. He declares:
"Why not send all Of the
names Of your proposed players
to the president Of the confer
ence or association in which
the teams compete, together
with a history Of each lads
athletic career?
''There might be individual
cases where some minor trouble
or flaw with the record could
be ironed out by such an OF.
ficiaI and thereby the athlete
i'm question would be saved
from a bumpy or suspicious
reputation.
''If it were found that the
young man testified to any
faISehOOds in giving his qualifi-
cations to play football, he
should be barred forever from
the game as well as barred from
becoming a football coach or
official in later 1ife."
Moran favors the strictest hon.
esty in football qualifications and
believes many boys are more than
evasive as to their past athletic
activity. Under no circumstances
would he tolerate a transfer rule
and he believes the transfer prop
oSition is the bane Of American
collegiate football.
First Downs Significant
T. B. Amis, football coach at
Furman University, Greenville, s.
c., believes a team should get a
one-point credit in the score for
making the most first downs.
Also he would do away alto
gether with the point after touch.
down and score a touchdown
seven points outright.
His only other suggestion as to
the change of the rules would be
to allow what so many Of his fel.
low-coacles would also like to al
low, defensive player to run
with a recovered tumble.
Dick Harlow, coach Of the
indicated Western Maryland
team, is also of the opinion
that the point after touch
down should be eliminated.
He thinks a win or loss by a

Griffith Seekinq OutieLder TO Round Out 1881 Washington
PASTURE MAN

HE SAYS
"Give me an OutfieIder with

Give me an Outtlelder with
q punch and III be willing to
stand pat on what we've got"
This was President Clark Grit
fith's reply today when inter.
viewed regarding prospective win
ter deals by the Washington club.
He further explained:
owe will pay wei for o
seasoned pasture man. That
Is IL he can be had. / would
prefer landing my man by
purchase or waivers since We
are short Of trading ma->
terial."
It is highly probable that, In
one way or another, the long
coveted - excuse me - right-hand
hitting gardener will be acquired
before the start of the 1881 cam
paign.
Slugger Is Needed
The Griffmen last season lacked
long-distance hitting more than
anything else. And Griffith. con-
fesses that he will go the limit to
correct this weakness another
year.
One man who the Old Fox un-
doubtedly would consider-if the
terms were rights Fred Schultz,
of the st. Louis Browns. But, it
is reported, a high price tag has
been placed upon the services Of
the youngster and, unless the de-
mand is lowered, he likely will
stay put.
Manager Walter johnson is to
center much of his attention
around the development of three
young pitchers next spring. An
attempt to improve Irving Hadley
and to round Ad LiSke and Bob
Burke into starting singers will
be his objective.
Sir Waiter considers Lloyd
Brown a full-fledged major now
and admits that Hadley improved
considerably this past year.
Should Liska and Burke also come
around, he believes Washington
will boast an even more formid-
able staff than that of 1890.
Hard Work Prescribed
Hard work and plenty of 1t
along with special attention
from older heads have been
prescribed for these kids.
Intelligent training, it is
claimed, should go far toward
bringing them into their own.
Fred Marberry. Alvin Crowder,
Sam Jones and Lloyd Brown, al
ready fixtures, will form the back
bone of truly great pitching de-
partment if the younger blood is
properly developed.
Though comparatively conserva.
tive Clark Griffith will admit,
when pressed, that he anticipates
a marked improvement in his 1881
Washington club. He cites the
following reasons:
1. The sensational improve
ment of ShOrtStOp Joe Gro
min and the ability Of Out
fielder Sam West to hit all
brands of pitching, whereas
he formerly was weak against
left-handers.

Cuba Fears Outbreak

Havana, Sept. 13 P-Fearful Of q revolutionary outbreak, the gov ernment of President Machado has instituted heavy guards about rail- roads, highways and government buildings throughout the island.
 Military forces have been placed at strategic points to watch for the first symptoms of an uprising. Minor disturbances have been reported in various Cuban provinces during the last two wesks but nothing of ser ious nature has occurred thus far.
 The government is not allowing any stores of ammunition to accV- mulate at any point and ownership of all firearms of over .SS caliber has been checked carefully.
 The state department has been caused no little concern by reports emanating, yesterday from Mexico Honduras, and from Peru that rev. olution either was near or. had al ready broken out. Administration spokesmen aver that with the, pre- l caution taken an armed outbreak of any significance would be impos- sible

 Stateh board officials in their lat est communication said the North end school was poorly lighted in all rooms except those in the DOT table building. Lighting conditions, at the Israel Putnam school were also unsatisfactory.
 When George R. Sturges of the state building department was in- formed of proposed improvements he gave an extension of one year.
 Correspondence on the subject was as follows:
 July 2s, 1880. ITO the Members of the New Brit
 tain Board of Education, Dear Sir or Madame:
 The Northend school in your city is very poorly lighted. Four rooms in the building have per cent of glass area in proportion to the floor area. These rooms are and on the first floor and and on the second floor. Rooms and have per cent, the kindergarten and room 5 have 13 per cent. The only rooms with sufficient light are in the portable building.
 This building needs an additional fire escape. The matter of the con- struction of this fire escape has been pending since July 5. 1918. The building has wooden floors and 1918 you were told that a reasonable interpretation of the, law would de- mand an additional fire escape. A fire escape was promised April A, 1928.
 There have been numerous ex- tensions of time in connection with this matter. This fire escape should be provided before school opens.
 Israel Putnam schoel-The door at the top of the basement stairs should be replaced with a tireproof door.
 "In this latitude there should be |.provided 20 per cent of light or glass area in proportion to the floor area At this school six rooms have only r pc rcent, one Mas IS and one has [ 20.

 The letter giving the extension follows:

 ain Board of Education: Dear sir or madame:
 Ut is noted that a partition is to be installed in the basement of the Israel Putnam school; that doors are now being installed at the top of the basement stairs in the Bartlett and ] Chamberlain schools; and that plans are in progress for the erection of a new school in place of. the Northend school.
 An extention of time is granted for one year. for the eyfction of fire escape on the Northend school. Yours very truly.

PARENTS PROTEST PUPILS TRANSFER
Object to Change From Stanley
 and Smalley School

The aftermath of an order issued Thursday that 20 children living on the north side of Allen street be transferred from the Stanley to the Smalley school was heard at the school board meeting yesterday aft ! ernoon when a petition asking that the children be allowed to remain in the Stanley school was submitted by their parents.
 Two of the group, William P. Walsh and Prospero Francolino, ap- peared at the meeting and both spoke briefly. MT Walsh presented the arguments sof the parents His son, six years old, is one of the group that has to travel to the Smalley school Monday if the board dces not hold up the transfer. He claims the traffic dangers are great CT and that the children have to | travel one-tenth of mile farther. He assured the board that his ob- l jection was not based on the belief that the children in one school were any better type than those in an- other. "They are all, l,.equal and I am confident my boy will come through with the aid of education regardless Of the children who are about him. Mr. Walsh said.
 The children were sent to schoo last Monday but the order for the transfer was given Thursday.
 supt. Holmes said the children are in the smalley school district and they belong there. They have been allowed to go to the Stanley school under special permission, he declared. According to the superin' tendent the Stanley school is crowd. ed and the 20 children were taking the seats of children who live in the district He said conditions in the Belvidere section are acute and the children should go where they be- long.
 Q There Is room in the Smalley school and no room in the Stanley school" Ak. Holmes concluded.
 Joseph M. Halloran asked if the traffic dangers were considered and ii consideration were given to the comparative distances.
 According to the map tho distance to the smalley school is less than l the distance to the Stanley school Mir. Holmes said. The superinten- dent suggested the Oak street route i of going to school, but Mir. Walsh declared the dangers were greater with three buses travelling there a, all times.
 Mir. Walsh described the route taken by children going to the Stanley school. He said it wa, through back roads where there i; little traffic.
 President P. F. King expressed the opinion it would be idear if tn. schools could provide accommoda tions for children in whatever building their parents wanted then to attend classes but such a condi tion was impossible.
 A map was studied to determin the distance. Committeeman Hal loran moved that the matter b, left with the teachers committe'

with power.
 Before he left, MT. Walsh asked the board if it would allow the chill dren to remain in the Stanley school while the matter is under consid- eration but no definite answer to the request was given him.
 The parents petition follows. ITO the School Board of the City
 of New Britain:
 We, the undersigned. residents of the city of New Britain, residing on the north side of Allen street, in said city, between Stanley street and Carlton street. respectfully pe- tition your honorable board, tc per- init the children residing on said north side of Allen street to attend the Stanley school.
 "The Smalley school, to which the children are now assigned, is a considerable distance further than the Smalley school. from the homes of the children, and the traffic con- ditions to the Smalley school are much more dangerous, than those to the Stanley school.

 Suggests Investment Course
 Committeeman Joseph M. Ward presented his plan for the establish ment of an investment course in the public schools to aid children in learning how to invest money after they have been graduated or have left school.
 He told of high school pupils who have lost all their savings with ore poor investment. He felt that lec- lures should be given by bankers, loan company officials and others whose advice would be invaluable to the pupils.
 Committeeman George Levitt felt the lectures should be given by bank. CTS and stop there. The best in- vestment is the savings bank" MT. Levitt said.
 Some of the members said specu- lators would want to talk and there would be no way of refusing them, but Mir Ward argued that the comy mittee could be depended upon to decide whether they wished to allow lectures by persons who may or may not be giving the right type Of in- formation to the pupils.
 It was voted to leave the matter with the teachers committe with power. 1.

 Dean Cross preferred not 10 talk about his coup at the state conven- ton, by which he busted the party ''old guard from control of the state committee. When asked about the dramatic scene in his hotel room when he was awakened by the men he had said must go and challenged to enforce his edict, he puffed his cigar silently for several minutes, then chuckled and said:
 Eve been told to go to hell be- fore-but I've never been there"
 Although the dean stands unquali- fiedly for repeal of the 18th amenf- ment, the executive mansion will be ''bone dry" and the state prohibition law will be enforced if he goes to Hartford.
 Opposed to Prohibition
 T am opposed to prohibition, as Isaid in my acceptance speech, be- cause it has made us a nation of gin drinkers" said Cross. The effect upon the race is terrible. Crime is encouraged and gangs enriched and people are made outlaws for doing what their ancestors for generations have considered perfectly proper. But If go to Hartford will en- force the law; my duty is clear there" he continued. There never have been drinks served in my house and there would not be then, he added.

"The democratic platform has been quite specific on that point and every democratic candidate for congress will run on that platform

 Tt should be interesting seeing how this thing comes out" said Cross. "The republicans apparently think they can put up anybody and defeat a democrat; we'll, we'll see.
 "A lot depends on the farmer vote I'm going up country and talk with the farmers-no three hour speeches nobody ever listens to them-just chat with them about current ques- tjons.
