LEFT SIDE OF
TULANE'S Line
DUE FOR WORK
BY GEORGE II. BEALE
United Press Staff Correspondent


LOS ANGELES, Dec. 2S. UP
! Southern California fans hear q
great deal these days about Cap
tain Jerry Dalrumple. Tulane's ALL
American end, but they are more
interested in Vernon (L efty)
Haynes and Calvert (FootS) Deco
/ ligny. who play on the opposite
/ side of Tulane's line.
The accepted opinion is that Cap
tain Dalrymple can go ahead and
! play an All-American game New
Years day but that whether he
does or not will have less bear
ing on the outcome Of the annual
Rose Bowl clash than the perform
ances of Left End Haynes and Lett
Tackle Decolginy.
The reason for this is that South
ern California sends nine tenths
of its plays to the left side of its
opponents line and the outcome
of every Trojan game this year
has depended on the ability of the
TrojanS to make these plays work.
In getting 10 the place where it
may well claim national hoaors by
a victory over Tulane, Southern
California has Inundated among
others such great players as Left
End Vernon Catfish Smith Of
Georgia, Left Tackle Schwegler of
Washington and Left Tackle Ed
wards OF Washington State.
The Trojans have sent their
famed power plays directly over,
through and around these men and
Haynes and Decoligny will face
the same problem in the New Years
day contest at Pasadena.
In their workouts here bot h
Haynes and Decoligny have looked
impressive but so did other left
ends and left tackles before they
faced interference as run by john
ny Baker, Ernie Pinckert and Tom
Mallory of Southern California.
Haynes, who weighs in the vi
cinity OF 180 pounds, is regarded
as Dalymple's protege because he
was third string end until Dali
rymple tutored him a bit an d
turned him into one of the souths
very best.
Haynes Good Passer
New Orleans writer's regard
Haynes as the greatest pass receiv-
er the south ever has known and
also boost him as one Of the very
best defensive ends in the country.
They claim that the tremendous
banyhoo given Catfish Smith CT
Georgia kept Haynes from getting
the national recognition TO which
he was entitled. Practically all
All-Southern teams placed DaIrym-
| pie and Smith as its first string
ends with Haynes on the second
team.
The contention of the southern
writer's has the support OF Coach
Babe Hollingberry of Washington
State who said after his team lost
to Tulane IA to % that Haynes
played a better game against the
Cougars than Dalrymple.
Decoligny is Of French descent,
weighs 1875 pounds and stands six
feet even. He was picked on many
All-Southern teams at tackle this
year.
Although ne was suffering a knee
injury when he arrived here last
week, he has recovered entirely
and worked out with the rest Of
the Tulane team at Tournament
Park in Pasadena today.
Coach Howard Jones put his
Southern California team through
another secret workout at Boyard
field here.

although the evil does really exist,
it is impossible under present con-

urged in the report to exercise
every precaution to select for the
new police force, to be appointed
in June, men of such caliber as to
make this evidenc eavailable.

tions of creditor representatives

LOUIS CRAMTON
To CONSTRUCT
MODEL CITY
Boulder City's "MuSSoIini" to
Make Everybody Observe
Dry Law or Leave Section

War on bootleggers and gam
blers has been declared by former
Representative Louis C. Cramton,
until recently czar of the Dis
trict's budget in the House, and
now mayor" of Boulder City,
New.
He is not going to tolerate any
Iawless element in the new city
which Uncle Sam is erecting near
the site of the gigantic Boulder
Dam project. That is his ukaSe,
and he has the support of Secre-
tary of the Interior Wilbur behind
him.
Will Be Absolute
Former representative Cramton
is in a position to be as absolute
a dictator as MuSsolini over all
the citizens, wayfarerS and buS1-
ress men in Boulder City.
One of his first acts in reach
ing Boulder City, which now IS
only a group of shacks housing
about 200 persons, but soon will
be a thriving town of 5000
population-was to write out a
lease contract applying to all
builders, merchants, garage
owners and others binding them
to a strict observance of the
Volstead act and all the laws
prohibiting gambling.
If they fail to observe this item
in their contract they will find
their leases cancelled and their
means of livelihood taken away
from them.
will Forfeit Home
Any mere employe or worker on
the Boulder Dam project who vlo-
lates the Volstead act will find his
Government-oWned home taken
away from him.
Every inch of land in Boulder
City is owned by the Federal Gov
ernment and Mr.. Cramton, who
was recently appointed rental
agent" of the reclamation service
on the scene, intends to make it
a model town.
A "city manager" will be ap-
pointed for the city as it develops.
Whether Mr.. Cramton will Sue
ceed to that job later has not
yet been determined.
