Limerick.
The step came after confer
erce among attaches of the Dis
trict Attorneys office and police
officials today.
Rested on Search
The Grand Jury inquiry grew

search of Langdon's home and
the seizure of the stills came
within the scope of the law
On one side it is contended
that the search was illegal since
there was no evidence of sale
being made in Langdon'S home.
It is also contended that Mrs.
Rose Langdon, pretty wife of the
policeman, who admitted police
men and granted them permission
TO search their home, had no
right to waive the constitutional
rights of her husband.

ference today were: Captain Ed

PACKED HOUSE
IS PROSPECT

Wrestling is expected to hit a
new high at the Washington
Auditorium on Thursday when a
mammoth show for the benefit of
the Districts unemployed is put
on. A packed house is antici-
pated.
After vainly trying to get some
of the local colleges help a needy
cause with a football game,
George j. Adams. executive secre-
tary of the Districts committee
on employment, appealed to Joe
Turner, the wrestling promoter.
AS was the case last spring, Tur-
ner readily consented.
Wrestling fans of the District
will not only witness attractive
matches, but they will also con-
tribute to worthy purpose by
their attendance.
The wrestling's carnival gem
will be the affair between Ray
Steele and Paul Scissors" Jones.
It is certain that Jones will be an
overwhelming favorite with the
fans, many of whom believe the
Texan will take the measure of
Steele. In substantiation of this
claim, they point out that Dick
Shikat proved that Steele was not
unbeatable.
Rudy DuSek will tackle Matros
Kirilenko. Sander Szabo faces AL
Pierotti, Karl Pojello meets Justo
Gerald, and Benny Ginsberg
grapples "Tigah" Nelson in the
other bouts. This latter event
promises to be the best of the
evening and one that shouldn't be
missed, even if date has to be
broken,

Louis Comiskey,
Eagle River, Wis.
Every one interested in clean
and honest SpOrtsmanship will
grieve with you in the death
of your lther Charles A. Com

the evolution of baseball into

A Football Chair

Following the dismissal Of
Iud Wray, as coach, Pennsyl-
vania somewhat startled a foot
ball world by announcing a
football department in its cur.
riculum with Prof. Harvey Har-
man in the chair. This step
was directed at high salaried
coaches and was also a gesture
to indeed make football some
thing from which all boys in
the college could benefit, as
well as those best physically
fitted for the main squad.
The point is that folks
laughed no little at the Red
and Blue overture. and every
where it was being said that
Penn would be no more heard
from in the greater collegiate
football scheme of things. And
suiting their attitude to their
thought, the grid sharps gave
Penn not even a Chinaman's
chance to take Wisconsin last
Saturday. That Penn mopped
up by % to 13 is no longer
news, but that many a football
fan hasn't gotten over the
shock yet, may be.
The alert, aggressive and
knowing play of the Red and
Blue players was a tribute to
their teacher-the victory, you
know, was achieved by virtual
ly the same team that dropped
27 to 0 decision to Wiscon-
sin a year ego.
