Quarterback Johnny Brady
and Anthony Barbarito, a half
back, are counted among the
fastest and most alert ball
rushers in the vicinity of New
England.
Brady, a veritable flash on the
gridiron, formerly established a
Rhode Island interscholastic
speed record while Barbarito
gained the Yale interscholastic
220-yard dash mark. :.
Open Field Runners
That the players mentioned
will furnish a real problem to
Catholics defense is considered
likely. Noteworthy broken field
running aces, both are capable
of breaking away for lengthy
yardage on the shortest possible
notice.
Rivaling these lads in general
brilliance is Capt. Mickey Foster,
halfback" and standout of the
straightaway ground gaining. An
all New England selection during
the past two seasons, Foster this
year has dazzled with his Sensa-
tional and timely scoring.
Though ably supported by
capable running mates, this trio
undoubtedly will, be watched most
closely by c. U. Combined swift

should figure materially in their
stand.

By GARRETT WATERS

The long, long trail which has
been "a-winding," as far as the
interhigh school football series
is concerned reaches it's end to-
day for the season of 1881.
The lend" brings Business and
Tech together in game at the
Central Stadium at $3.50 o'clock.
All proceeds will go towards the
relief of the unemployed as the
meeting between the two teams
has been set down as a charity
affair.
Although Tech is conceded the
triumph from the start, an inter
esting clash is expected as the
StenogS have pointed earnestly
for the game for the past two
weeks.
Title in Offing
Tech will annex its fourth con-
secutive championship by win
ming. Also Hardell'S boys will
chalk up their sixteenth straight
victory in series play. This, over
q four year period.
Techs big backfield trio of
Sachs, Hatos and Gormley, and
the teams trio of quarterbackS,
namely, Foley, Edwards and
Brinkman, should predominant
today. Coach Hardell uses this
latter group in the working out

Foley to get the team the edge
in the punting which usually is a
feature of a first quarter.
He then shifts to, Edwards to

ing, then falls upon Brinkman
to engineer any passing attack
whic hmight be needed for a
score. In other words, Hardell
possesses three important necessi-
ties in his quarterback array. One
has an educated toe, another has
''brainS" while the third has an
arm and hand that can throw
passes like nobody's business.
Must Watch Flynn
Most important in the Business
eleven'S attack will be Lawrence
Flynn, hefty fullback. This lad
is one of the most powerful bali
carriers Coach Lynn Woodworth
has had under his wing for
several years. So anxious is

Flynn is really too fast for his

he stopped because he was ahead
of himself before his interference

HOOVER SPEECH
CONSIDERED BID
FOR new TERM
Lincoln Day Address Is
Plea For States Rights
And Party Loyalty
BY PAUL X. MALLON
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13. W.P)-
President Hoover's broad statement
of policy in his Lincoln day speech
was generally accepted today by his
political associates here as the open
ing gun in his reelection campaign.
He championed the cause of states
rights and urged acceptance of local
responsibility and diminution OF
federal encroachments. He indl-
rectly attacked notification, and ap-
pealed strongly for party loyalty.
If prohibition and power are to be
issues in the campaign, the Presi-
dent indicated what his position
would be, although he did not mem
ton either subject directly.
His speech broadcast over ma
tional radio hookup last night from
the Lincoln room of the White
House, was built around speculation
as to what Abraham Lincoln would
be today. Mr.. Hoover said:
"You would find him pounding at
the public mind against nullifica-
ton and for adherence to the con-
stitutional processes Of government.
No stronger statement has ever been
made than that of Lincoln upon
obedience to law as the very toun-
dation of our republic
The big issue of Lincoln IS day was
states rights, the President said,
adding that this remains domi-
nant problem. Turning upon the is
sue of the relationship of federal,
state and local government respon-
sibilities, he added
1--WE are faced with nceasing
agitation that the federal govern
ment shall assume new financial
burdens, that it shall undertake in
creased burdens in regulation of
abuses and in the prosecution of
crime.
"The federal government has as
sumed many new responsibilities
since Lincoln S time, and probably
will assume more, but there is an
essential principle that should be
maintained in these matters.
81 am convinced that where fed
eral action is essential, in most cases
it should limit its responsibilities to
supplement the state and local
communities. 1t should not assume
the major role in replacement of the
states or local government. -
1t was learned on good authority
the President expected his remarks
would be applicable to control of
water power, as we'll as drought re-
lief work and measures to assist the
recovery of business.

BIRTH CONTROL
ADVOCATE ASKS
CHANGE IN LAW

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13. UP
Margaret Sanger, internationally
known birth control advocate, told a
senate judiciary subcommittee today
the present federal ban on birth
control advice has impaired mothers
health, family happiness and social
welfare.
She urged favorable action upon
the bill introduced by Senator Gil
lett, Republican, Mass, to permit
distribution of such information by
physicians, clinics and medical
medical schools.
Her appearance with group of
scientists, doctors, college professors
and clergymen, marked the second
assault in SO years upon the law
which classifies such advice with in
decency. The law was sponsored by
Anthony Comstock, New England
purity proponent.
Mrs. Sanger described the Gillett
bill as the foundation of mothers
bill of rights.
1--WE want mothers to have proper
scientific instruction which will en-
able them to control the size of the
family in consideration of mothers
health, fathers earning capacity and
the future welfare of the child" Mrs
Sanger said.
She attacks the present law as
serving only ito increase surrepti-
Gus, harmful, unscientific informa-
ton, keeping alive hypocrisy and
evasion"
This law" she charged, "has
been responsible for the death of
approximately 100000 mothers and
100000 children, many of whom
were born unwanted in conditions
of hardship, poverty, cruelty and
disease"
An attempt to revise the law of
1924-25 was unsuccessful.

The students, most OF whom de-
clared the whole affair was a
mess and that the university
could not be blamed for paddock
ing" the houses, accepted the de-
cision philosophically and began
looking for new places to live.
The five fraternity houses ordered
closed were Phi Delta Theta, Theta

DRY LEADERS y
DISAGREE ON
LAWS MEANING
BY CECIL OWEN
United Press Staff Correspondent

Ntuiteu freSS StaI1 COrreSpOnuentD
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13. (UP) =
A sharp difference of opinion be-
tween prohibition leaders developed
today when f. G. Dinwiddie took ex-
ception to the suggestion of DR..
Clarence True Wilson for a change
in the Volstead act to eliminate
the loophole permitting wine-mak-
ing in the home.
Dinwiddie is head of the Nation
al Temperance Bureau and has been
dry leader here for 80 years. Will
son is secretary of the Methodist
Board of Temperance, Prohibition
and Public Morals.
Revealing some of the inside story
of adoption of the Volstead act,
Dinwiddie said section 90, exempt
ing from penalties of the act those
who make wine in the home, was
written by Wayne B. Wheeler, late
superintendent of the Anu-Saloon
League. 1t is this section which has
legalized the sale of the much dis
cussed grape concentrate (which
turns INTO wine"
This section was drafted, Dinwid-
die said, with the express purpose
of exempting from prosecution
farmers wives and others who had
been making light wines and cider
for fiavoring, medicinal and bever-
age purposes.
In view of the original intention
of the act, Dinwiddie said he could
discern nothing illegal in sale Of
the grape concentrate marketed by
Fruit Industries, Ltd. He said the
California grape concern was max
ing available to city residents the
ingredients for home wine-making
already available to rural dwellers.

their own power.
Which of the bangtails will be en-

announced. Frank Lathrop, chair
main of the racing committee of
the county fair, youched only the
grim announcement that in spite of
the weather the horses will take off
promptly at 2 o'clock.
Should the sun make a welcome
appearance tomorrow afternoon a
large crowd may be expected to at
tend the race conference and yell
for the brave ponies as they throw
the mud of the race track behind
flying hoofs.

anxiously watching the sky and
other indications of what may be
expected from the gentleman who
