Three other members of the Blue
squad, one Of them, Cleon Reynolds,
veteran of three years, were ruled
ineligible for the remainder of the
campaign due to scholastic diff
culties. Ben Parrish, another mem
Der Of the famous Tech team, who
was counted on to serve as a re-
serve guard, and Gulling, a forward,
were the others lost to the squad.
Four members Of the team, in
Guiding Howard Chadd, stellar
guard and one of the leading
scorers, may not see action Friday
pending returns on special exam
nations. Harry Chickadantz, speedy
sophomore forward; Wolfe, elon-
gated reserve center, and Hutsell,
reserve forward, were the others in
this class. In case of failure in the
special exams, the players will be
dropped for the rest of the season.
With Lyle Withrow, star forward
out with an ankle injury, probably
for the rest of the season, Coach
Tony Hinkle faces the difficult task
Of rebuilding his team.
In addition to Davis and Miller,
Hinkle will have Arbuckle and Bal
ley, neither Of whom has seen much
service this season, available for the
forward assignments.
Profit probably will retain his
center assignment, but with Wolfe
temporarily out, the Blue coach
must seek capable understudy.
The f1oorguard assignment is a
problem and a wide open battle
among several reserves Is expected,
with Tackett secure in the back
guard berth.
The Wrecking of the Butler team
recalls a similar occurrence last sea-
son when Hinkle's powerful squad
was wrecked in nidseason by in
juries and ineligibilities.

more than three cases on the civil Gale
endar shall be held for any one attor-
ney. The same rule should prevail in
the criminal courts.
This concentration of numbers Of
criminal cases is a condition of long
standing in New York. Certain attor-
neys become known as successful han-
dlers of the defense. They are not es-
pecially skilled in the law or in court
room technique, but they are adopts
in "stalling" They manage the cal
endars cleverly, secure postponements
and delays using their own multiple
engagements as excuses. The late
Abraham Hummei was for q long time
one OF the best at this line of business,
and many an indictment was nolle
pressed or Cancelled for lack of prose-
cution as result of his adroit tactics.
1t used to be said that Hummel had
influence with both prosecuting officers
and judges to effect delays.
1t is, of course, to the interest of the
person accused of criminal offense to
postpone trial ~ long as possible. De-
lay means always the weakening of the
prosecution through the loss of wit
nesses. A case that comes up promptly
after indictment Is more likely to re-
suit in conviction than one that is de-
layed for year or two. And such de-
lays are not uncommon in the crowded
courts Of New York and other large
cities where the calendars are often on
an average eight or nine months behind.
