Having been present at Fairfield last summer, when the Naugatuck Valley Conference members had their tournament, Principal Ken nedy was very much impressed with the manner in which the play was conducted, and is bending every effort toward the organiza- ton of a team that will take it's place among the best in the state.
 First Class Players
 Albert "Benah" Labutis, caddy master at the Mattatuck Country Club, and perhaps, the outstanding golfer in this vicinity, is Wilby student and will form the nucleus of the prospective links entry. Russ and George Bulger, also Mattatuck caddies are expected to make the team easily, while Eddie Brick who makes himself useful around the Waterbury Country Club in the summer time, has been appointed to get the boys together. Lawlor, a student who had his first taste of golf as caddy this past sum-. mer will probably be seen on the team. When the Wilby golf team Is definitely formed, Mir Kennedy in- tends to enter 1t in the conference meet next June, probably in Fair field again.
 Tennis For Girls
 Feeling that there are not as many organized sports for girls at the school as there should be, Ath- letic Director Jimmy Lee intends to take steps towards organizing girls indoor tennis team, which will, of course, take to the out door courts in the proper season. A number of Wilby girls are said to be interested in the net sport, which is expected to bring about the reality of girls net team soon.
 Crosby, Too?
 In Ossie Gray, Ned Farley, George Mulligan and Prindle Bar tow, Crosby High also has the mak- ings of a splendid golf team, which if organized, should go far toward winning glory for the East Main street school on Connecticut links. Several state high schools have golf teams with more becoming inter- ested each season. Harold Swaf- field, principal of Roger Ludlow High school of Fairfield. has been a prime mover in arousing high school interest in golf, from an of ficial standpoint.

ANOTHER CHANCE
FOR DAVIS GIVEN
IN FEDERAL COURT

In spite of the order of Federal
Judge Mccormick of Los Angeles
that Millard K. "Coots" Davis be
held for Mexican officials, attorneys
for Davis yesterday afternoon ap-
piled for a new writ of habeas cor
pus, this time in the San Francisco
federal court, according to an an
nouncement today from the office
Of Ernest R. Utley, one of Davis
attorneys.
The application was granted and
the writ OF habeas corpus made re-
turnable before the San Francisco
federal court October 10, according
to word received here.
1t is probable United States attor-
neys will present the argument as
the San Francisco court has no ju-
riSdiction in the matter.
The application for another writ
is seen as one of the last steps in
a desperate fight Waged by attor-
neys for Davis to prevent his extra

OFFER GERMANY
COTTON N-WHEAT
ON LONG TERMS
By Joseph II. Baird
Press Staff COrreSpOnd


WASHINGTON, Aug. l. (U.P)--
President Hoover has suggested in
formally to the German govern
ment that it might be of economic
assistance to the Reich if the
United States farm board were to
sell it substantial quantities of
wheat and cotton on liberal terms.
No reply has been received.
The suggestion was made through
Ambassador Frederick NJ Sackett in
Berlin. State department officials
said the suggestion was made on
American initiative, that no Ger
man action prompted it. 1t was
described as a "feeler"
Germany embassy officials told
the United Press today they had no
knowledge of the proposal.
The farm board has been seeking
for months to dispose of its surplus
wheat and cotton abroad. Agricul-
tural interests in the wheat belt
have urged the board discontinue
all sales but Chairman James c..
Stone refused to meet that condi-
ton. He promised merely that sur
plus stocks would be disposed OF at
rate calculated to cause the least
disturbance OF the domestic market.
Despite such precautions, wheat fell
to below so cents yesterday at Chi
cago.

RAILROAD CREWS
BATTLE TO HALT
EARTH'S SINKING
WATSoNVILLE, Cal, Aug. /. UP

WATSONVILLE, Cal, Aug. l. U.P)
Hundreds of men battled a
strange phenomenon of nature to-
day as they worked to bolster the
main coast line of the Southern Pa
cific railroad while the earth under
it slowly settled.
From the experience of many pre-
vious earth failures, engineers for
the road decided the only method
to combat the sinking was to dump
long trainloads of gravel and
crushed rock into the affected area
until the ground decides to remain
stationary
The earth over a mile square area
at Elkhorn slough, four miles from
here, is settling at the rate of four
inches an hour. It is already more
thar six feet below its former level
Dozens of trains running between
San Francisco and Los Angeles pass
over the sunken area daily. The
tracks are inspected before every
crossing and engines run at reduced
speed.
The engineers said the sinking
first was recorded in 1872 and has
occurred a number of times since
They attributed it to possible
"Squashing out" of the earths sur
face where it had been undermined
by the slough. A fissure four feet
wide has opened near the center of
the disturbance.
