Really it is the good people that
worry me, not the so-called bad
ones" Darrow declared.
Nobody is so cruel as a good per-
son. They are so self-righteous.
Our social problems come, not
from bad persons, but from the
SNUG, the Respectable and the rich.
They are the ones who ar danger

Darrow charged that it is the So
called good people" who are tc
blame for retrogression in penal
affairs by getting legislators to make
laws calling for long minimum
sentences.
Losing Ground for Years"
I'VE have been losing ground ir
humane penal affairs during the
last twenty-five years. he asserted.
N the last ten years sentences
have been doubled for crimes against
property. This is brought about by
the good people functioning through
an ignorant and prejudiced legis-
lature and urged on by an unintel-
ligent and ferocious press.
"A wave of hatred is rampant
Jurors are terrified and judges are
RUNNING for reelection. But the
tide may change because we car
even get too much vengeance"
Darrow argued that no person il
to blame for his wifc's acts. since
persons are endowed with free viii
no more than ANY other animal.
They are purely products of hered-
ity and environment, and the way
to improvement lies through these
factors, he said.
Lauds Starving Thief
Crime increase is traceable direct
ly to the depression Darrow pointed
out and declared he had little use
for a man who would let his family
starve rather than steal.
Men in want will help themselves
and they would not be worth raising
if they didn't Darrow declared.
Darrow cited his view that 9
house-breaker is better than 2
stock jobber, although the latter
may be With nthe law.
"A man who takes his life In his
hands going into strange house
at night is earning his money much
more than a millionaire who rig;

DARIS, Oct. 5.-The gay and
l. brilliant Mile. Alice Cocoa,
blond beauty of the French stage
and screen, has been transformed
into tragic, haunted figure of the
Paris playSpots by the spectacular
suicide of her 30-year-old sweet
heart, Lieutenant Victor Point,
adventurous explorer and naval
officer.
Two little packets of love let
tiers are all that remain of a
romance which might have led to
marriage when she had won an
annulment from her present mate.
One packet is a rueful reminder
of light flirtations which brought
impassioned notes from other
Suitors.
These, found by the over jealous
lieutenant, when he rif1ed the desk
of her apartment, led to the melo-
dramatic finale. The second
packet contains the lost notes
penned by Point, telling of his
great love.
TINE colorful setting for the sui
L eide was the Bay of Agav, off
the Riviera. Point drove his road
ster to a point on the beach
where he could see the small
yacht Blue Crest anchored off
shore and containing a merry
party.
He could distinguish, in black
beach pajamas, the blond and
beautiful figure of Mile. Cocoa,
frolicking on deck. He jumped
into a boat and rowed out.
The sight of Point struck terror
in the heart of the pretty actress.
AS he boarded the yacht he car
ried a revolver in his hand.
You are liars, all of you" he
shouted. He yelled other violent
reproaches, and added: Anyhow,
it doesn't make any difference
now; in a minute I shall be a dead
man."
MYTH thatahe threw the re-
w volyer into the boat and
then jumped in himself. He
rowed a few strokes, stood up and
fired two shots into his head. His
strong, athletic body swayed and
then he fell into the water, dead.
On the shore, Mile. Cocoa threw
herself across the form of her
lover and sobbed Historically:
Come back to me, you foolish
boy; I love you" She then col
lapsed.
Investigation of the drama re-
vealed they had known each other
for four years and that Point, at
least, had been passionately in
love. He wished to marry the
actress if she could win annul-
ment in Rome of her marriage to
Conte Stanislas de La Rochefou-
cauld.

r LIEUTENANT POINT was
IL nephew and foster-son of
Philippe Berthelot, permanent
secretary of the French ministry
of foreign affairs.
He already had g successful
career and rendered conspicuous
service as naval attache at the
Quai d'Orsay.

and no one doubted the great flu
ture he had before him." ex-
planned Mile. Cocoa. Il liked him
very much and We were to have
been married, but the formalities
of the annulment Of my marriage
would have taken at least year.
Unfortunately he was sus-
ceptible to jealousy to an exas-
perating degree, and the fact that
1 had many admirers made him
worse"

Nearly 10000 fans, the largest

to witness the game. Because of
the demand for tickets, the weather
was not expected to reduce the at

their 10Th meeting. Last year Army

The West Pointers had been IA

achievement never accomplished by

Nebraska turned the trick in 1922

ARMY COACHES
MAKING GOOD
By GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 26. -
The "old Army game has created
place in the gridiron sun for
Tennessee's Volunteers. Three
West Pointers, Major Robert Ney-
land, Major William Britton and
Col. Paul Parker, have drilled
Tennessee so thoroughly in foot
ball technique. that over a stretch
Of seven years their pupils have
met only two defeats.
The complete year record is
60 victories, two defeats and five
ties for an average of .967. No
other major team in the land ap-
proaches that record, but some of
the edge is taken off it because
of the fact that Tennessee remain
ed in its "own backyard" to play
most of its games.
The only time the Volunteers
ventured across the Mason-Dixon
line was last year when they beat
New York u, 13-0
A peculiar thing about Tennessee
coaches, supporters and players is
that they do not exactly crave out
side recognition.
"There are enough good foot
ball teams in the south to keep us
in competition, said Major Brit
ton. "We have had some pretty
fair teams in the last seven years
and we haven't been able to win
the southern title. We have plenty
OF time to start choosing outsiders
after we win our own champion
ship"
Just Helped Out
Major Neyland, who played enc
at West Point in 1914-15-16, be-
came Tennessee coach almost BY
accident. He was sent to Knox
vile as commander of the schools
r. o. T. c. in 1925. A backfield
coach was needed and he took it as
a side job. Then he became head
coach the next year and sent for
bis teammates on the Army team
Britton and Parker.
Major Neyland, besides being
one of the best football coache:
in the country, is an accomplish
ed engineer. He has had offers tc
coach at Fordham, Wisconsin ano
other schools but prefers to remain
in Tennessee.
He has developed three All-Am-

COMMENT ON
SPORT WORLD
BY HENRY McLEMORE


PITTSBURGH, Nov. 20. W.e) =
The fact that this is a country
where freedom of speech is highly
respected item makes it strictly
none of our business, but neverthe.
less, we would like to cast a dis
senting vote against the habit Joel
Sutherland has of predicting Pitts
burgh's downfall on each and every
Saturday.
The day before Pittsburgh opened
its football season against some
jerkwater college, Sutherland an.
nounced to the press that his boys
didn't have a chance; that they'c
be lucky to escape with their lives
Pitt won that game by some tele-
phone number score, but that didn't
give Sutherland a moments pause
He made the same sort of predic-
tion before the Army, Notre Dame
Nebraska, Ohio State and Carne-
gle Tech games.
A couple of days ago he predict
ed utter ruin for Pitt in the game
with Stanford today. This, it woulC
seem to us is carrying things 9
little bit too far. For unless Sutn.
erland is entirely bereft of reason
he must realize by now that Pitts
burgh is a sweet and hot outfit, ono
capable of entering any game, any,
time, with at least an even chance
of victory What, then is the reas-
on for Sutherland's absurd fore
casts? Is it modesty? Is it because
the PantherS' head coach is by ma
ture gloomy man, with no ability
to see the sweetness and light? On
did he learn a lesson from the en-
barrassing position in which opti-
mism placed Notre Danes Heartley
Hunk Anderson?
Heaven knows Anderson's embar-
rassment was acute enough to teach
a lesson. And it happened here in
Pittsburgh, too. You remember the
circumstances. Anderson and his
Notre Dame team arrived for the
game with Pittsburgh hailed as the
greatest team of ali time; team
that stood head and shoulders
above such last words in football
elevens as their Notre Dame prede-
cessors of 1924 and 1890.
And it was Anderson who did the
hailing. In his own peculiar dia-
lect, Anderson told the world
through Pittsburgh sports writers
that the Pitt team, while composed
of nice bunch of boys, would be
as nothing before his point-a-min-
uters, and the score would depend
largely on how many points Notre
Dame felt like scoring.
Well, you know what happened
Pittsburgh went out and kicked the
living daylights out of Notre Dame
Since that time Hunk has been less
optimistic. While he hasn't, like
Sutherland, come out and predicted
utter rout for his team, he has tried
to strike something like a happy
medium between common Dragging
and foolish pessimism.
Sutherland sees little hope fol
Pittsburgh today. In his opinion
or at least the one he gave tht
public, Stanford will win in walk
We don't think so. We like Pitt
and if it's agreeable with Jock, wt
hereby bet him $40 (ten he:
wrong. And we mean to try tt
collect if Pitt comes through.
