Mr.. eagle FUMBLEs THE BALL

Red" eagle, famous west Point football player.
appears to be running the wrong way with the ball
On a delayed pass or something he issued o statement
last week that turned him from o cadet and gridrcn
star into an army issue and q national bone Of con-
tention.
eagle (who has been at West Point rs a football star
SO long that General Grant mentioned him In his
memoirs) announced In his statment that he would
quit the army Immediately after graduation and 30
into some business, which thought enough OF the help
to pay real money. Re was tactless enough 20 ernpha-
size the belief he could make more his first year cut
OF West Point than he could make II he spent his life
in the army.
From the howl that went UP form military circles
you would have thought eagle had funbled the ball
on his own five-yard line. Acting Secretary OF War
r. Trubee Dawson issued q singing reply In which
he referred to the world-famous fullback as "a cadet
named eagle" He reminded him that when q man
is appointed to West Point and educated at the pub
lie expense he agrees to drill four years In the army
after graduation and that the government can refuse
a resignation.
1t now looks as II eagle, instead OF picking his own
openings IN Ills QaSu out OF inc army WOu4u lcSu Icnl
interference and a lot OF trick plays TO get out at all.
He may find himself bottled even more effectively
than in the Yale-Army game OF 1929.
The Arrnys use OF football men at West Point has
not always been above criticism, and 1t has allowed
many OF the gridiron stars TO ignore the ~four-year
army service regulation and resign after graduation.
eagle made his mistake in broadcasting his plans
to straight-arm West Point and IN referring rather
smoothly to an army career as a waste Of time and
energy.
He couldn't have offended the War Department
more If he had left the lineup during en- Army-Navy
game. leaped into the grandstands and twisted q gen.
erals knee while indorsing q cigarette for pay.
"
Red says he can get $4,000 q year as football coach
OF the Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical College
as against sl25 a month as q second lieutenant. And
no mules to worry about.
without a football in his arms he would be no bar
gain in any mans army, he admits. He feels that un-
til wars are won By open field running and long
punts he should not be subject to reverle and roll
call.
Uncle sam on the contrary takes the view Uor
newspaper purposes) that a cadet Is q cadet. that he
owes the government for his education, that football
IS not recognized as a claim for military exemption
and that taking a crack at the low-wage earning abli-
ty Of major generals IS deliberate high tackling.
Mr.. eagle is In a tight spot. Re may be penalized
five years for unnecessary roughness.

SENATOR HAYES
ASSAILS DRY LAW
Blames Prohibition for Official Cor.

gard for Order.
az Enc AssocIated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, October 2f.-Eenator
Harry b. Halves, who delivered two
speeches in st. Louis last night, assailed
prohibition, declaring it to be productive
Of official corruption, o huge increase In
crime and general disregard for law
and order.
The speeches were the first Of series
Halves will make in st. Louis and other
parts Of the State in behalf Of state
and local Democratic tickets.
The country is suffering from the ILLS
Of prohibition, Halves said, because an
impatient group Of meddlesome people,
impatient with local government and
local control, sought through an amend
ment to the Constitution to force their
own opinion through the law over large
sections Of our country and millions of
people who are opposed to prohibition.
I'VE were promised that the Volstead
law would fill our churches with wor-
shippers, empty our jails and asylums;
that crime would decrease health would
improve and there would be general
happiness and contentment. None of
these things has happened; none of
these promises has been fulfilled; quite
the contrary. There has been no In
crease in church attendance, the num-
Der of insane has increased and prisons
are filled to overlooking.
president Hoover has called this a
noble experiment. a phrase which
pleased both vets and drys. To be
noble thing must be good, it must be
honorable, it must achieve something,
and we know that the Volstead act has
not done this. So 1t leaves the emphasis
upon the word experiment and the ex-
pertinent has proved a failure"

As for party membership, Champer-
