Sudden Death
Day Greets
Amateurs
By DAVIS J. WALSH

FIVE FARMS, Md, Sept. IL.
This will be Sudden death" day
at the National Amateur Colt
championship, an organized, regu-
lated slaughter during the course
Of two 18-hole rounds Of match
play in which the victims are re-
quired to die quickly and in the
open. AS q result of a blind
draw last night, the first of this
sort attempted in many years, q
number of very interesting corpSes
have been arranged for this time.
One of these will be identified
at the close of the first round
meeting between Francis Ouimet,
the champion, and George Voigt,
always ranking CONTENDER.
Another will develop from the
match between Johnny Fischer,
medaliSt and co-holder of the
record with Jones at 142, and
Lawson Little, q grim, relentless
man at match play, a third from
the Jack Westland-John Lehman
meeting, a fourth from Eric Nc
Ruvie, Scotland, and Charley
Yates, the new Jones" from At
lanta. A fifth and sixth reSpec-
lively are inevitable when Johnny
Goodman, the man who beat
Jones. meets Chandler Egan, old
time champion, and Maurice Nc
Carthy meets Johnny Parker, Of
Yale.
Balance of Matches
The rest of the matches for
this mornings round are as fol-
lows: Gene VinSon VS.. M. P.
Warner; Chick Evans. several
times champion, VS.. Perry
Morgan partner) Hall, who
never before even saw a cham
pionship played; E. A. Mcclure
vs.. w. G. Chaplin; Ross Somer-
vile, Canadian champion, VS..
John Brawner, who defeated
Willie TurneSa in this mornings
playoff for the last qualifying
place, off just before the round
starts: w. O. Blaney VS.. Francis l.
Brown; Gus Moreland VS.. r. E.
Spicer; Bob Grant VS.. Wilfred

Brinke. and Charley Seaver VS..

Seventeen States, Hawaii, Scot
land and Canada are represented
in this draw. yet two men from
Chicago, Westland and Lehman.
must meet in the first round and
so must two from New York. Nc
Carthy and Parker. So the effect
of the blind draw is hardly favor
able, particularly since it has
placed a lot of the authority in
the lower half where Ouimet,
Voight, Mccarthy, McRuvie.
Yates, Goodman, Egan and
SeaVer now abide. Some Of them
will not be there long and one
of them is liable to be Ouimet
himself.
Typical Ouimet Finish
He had to come on with q
| typical Ouimet rush yesterday
and one-putt the last four green's
to qualify in his own champion
ship. He never has fully recov-
cred from his recent illness. he
is 80, and this is strictly a young
mans tournament at this mo-
ment. Whether it will remain so
until Saturday is another mat
ter, but, with juvenile genius like
Gus Moreland, Johnny Fischer,
Wilfred CroSsley, Johnny Parker,
Charley Yates and Charley
Seaver playing as they are. this
is not improbable.

DEFENSE
UNITS Of
RIVALS
By HARRY COSTELLO

by hAhhx COSIELLO
CAMP LET'S, Nd, Sept. II.
George washington University's
principal attacking formation is
an ideal arrangement Of units
from which to develop plays to
overcome defenseS employed by
Washington and Lee, Iowa, Okla
homa and Alabama, four top op-
ponentS on the Colonial grid
schedule this season.
The Crimson Tide of OF Ala
bam' uses q Notre Dame defense
that has always been troubled
by plays, especially forward
passes, developing from forma-
tions similar to G. W.'s.
Iowa, now employing defense
developed by Ossie Solem, Iowa's
new coach, while he was at
Drake, will encounter trouble
stopping G. WIS overhead plays,
short end runs and reverses which
flash out of Jim Pixlee's pet for.
nation.
SOOners Know style
Oklahoma knows more about
the particular formation used by
G. w. than other Colonial
opponent. However, fortunately
for George Washington, new
coach, Lewie Hardage, will prob
ably give the Sooners a Wander
bilt defense. This means that
Oklahoma will be severely tried
to stop plays from @. WIS forma-
ton.
Washington and Lee should be
able to erect q defense to stop
the Pixleemen. Jimmy De Hart,
who teaches football at Lexing-
ton, Va, was taught practically
the same offenSe used by G. w.
knowing the plays developed
from the Colonial formation,
Jimmy should be able to erect
most capable defense Of the four
teams mentioned.
This George washington
arrangement Of attacking units
is an odd combination Of the
old IL" formation, the Warner
double wing back formation and
the half-punt.
Unbalanced Line
There is an unbalanced line
with both tackles on the strong
side, and the strong side end
out about three yards from his
nearest compatriot in the line.
The end on the weak side plays
in close to the weak side guard,
being only about a yard out.
The wing-back on the strong
side is inside the attacking end
and outside the defensive tackle.
The key backfield man. called
the No. 2 back, is about four
yards back from the scrimmage
line and directly behind the
strong side guard.
The ball carrier is directly be-
hind center, about six yards back
from the line of scrimmage.
Vary Positions
The remaining backfield unit,
the No. back, is about two yards
back of the weak side guard.
The strong side end and wing
back vary their positions on diff
ferent plays. and often adjust
themselves to the defense offered
against them.
To date in training here the
Colonials have shown a decided
smoothnesS executing plays de-
veloped from the Pixlee formation.
The short end run, or "cut-
back" with guards getting into
the interference, is one of G. WIS
particularly strong plays.
ReverSes, delayed passes and
lateral and forward passes are
stock plays from the Colonial
formation.

Suppose you accidentally touch something

without any conscious Intervention your
part the muscles Of your arm come into play.
Actually when such q muscle moves 1t must
receive message from the central nervous
system-that Is, from the brain or spinal cord.
This message is carried to 1t along q nerve
fiber.
The danger signal from the burnt skin ON
your hand reaches the central nervous system
similarly along a nerve pathway. A perma-
nent, inherited connection links the incoming
nerves from your fingers and the outgoing
nerves of your arm. The whole mechanism by
which the hand withdraws Is called q reflex by
physiologists.
A REFLEX has two main elements; some
thing that sets it off, called by psycholo-
gists the stimulus" and something that the
animal does result of the stimulus, called
the reaction" Thus in the case Of the sali-
vary reflex the placing of food in the mouth
would be the stimulus and the watering Of the
mouth would be the animals reaction.
This particular "salivary' reflex is Of para
mount interest, for 1t was made the basis by
Pavlov of his long series Of experiments with
dogs, which has brought him the acclamation
of the whole scientific world
The importance Of reflex for the psychol-
ogist Is hat it can be observed without the
necessity for making any guesses about what
the dog Is thinking" What Is going on In the
dogs mind is judged not by what the dog says,
but by what the dog does The scientist can
make no mistake here.

repeal, many believed here today.
Supporting this belief are two
things:
/. The recent surge Of public
opinion toward the repeal side, oc-
casioned in part. at least, by the
Republican prohibition straddle
plank: and
2. The recent Scripps- Howard poll
showing AIT delegates to the Chi
cago convention, excluding Texas,
forty-six, as being already for re-
peal.
Indicative of the reception which
the Texans declaration received
here in many quarters was the
statement by Representative Nc
Duffie of dry Alabama, the Demo-
cratic whip, who said he believed
there is sentiment in the country
to justify submission of the straight
question of repeal"
Such ultra drys as Senator Nor
ris Sheppard Dem, Tex were
shaken, although the diminutive CO.

strength to the sentiment here that

financial, industrial, and agricul-
tural representatives to work out
important national measures with
the President; CD a setup which
would more resemble a temporary
dictorship; and CD promises to
take important Democrats into
the government.
Hoover would describe any such
plan as desperate, but states
manlike measure to save the ma
ton, but the Democrats surely
would brand it as a political stunt
to save Hoover'S skin.
Much less speculative is the
likelihood that Hoover will cam
paign as the man who has saved
us from the worst, who has by
superhuman efforts kept us on
the gold standard and who alone
can do the job for us in the fu-
ture.
DOTH candidates are going to
- appeal to the unemployed and
their sympathizers. The Demo-
cratic candidate will make the
most direct appeal Hoover will
cite his past reconstruction meas
ures, including the recent admin
istration unemployment relief
measure, and undoubtedly will
present new plans for the future.
All doubt whether direct fed
eral relief would be an issue in
the presidential campaign was re-
moYed when leaders of both par
ties made last-minute jump in
that direction in congress, after
holding out stoutly against it for
many months.

specific declarations on various is
sues.
Since both Hoover and Roose-
velt Off he is nominated) have
CONSPICUOUS records as tightrope
walkers, their campaign speeches
and statements will be watched
with interest.
Most observers believe that Mr..
Hoover at last will be smoked
out on prohibition-an issue on
which he never has actually de-
clared himself.
A wet tide has been rising in
the last four years and there is no
longer any doubt that such states
as New York, New Jersey, Massa-

~ most Of those states to win.
Some indication of Hoover's
present views may be obtained
from the Republican prohibition
platform plank at Chicago. But
the demand for a personal utter
ance will continue and economic
issues are not likely to bury it so
completely as to make it possible
for Hoover to escape answering.
The President may resort to
some form of straddle, but he
at least will 60 further toward
expressing himself than he has
before.
MOT much has been heard
L ' lately of war debts, but they
are fairly certain to pop up i'm
portantly during the campaign.
The Hoover moratorium is in
effect for year which ends next
December. The Official attitude is
that both debt and reparations
payments will be resumed at that
time.
Actually, hardly any one thinks
that they will be resumed, and
there are many who don't believe
any more debts or reparations ever
will be paid.
Hoover has said there will have
to be some "readjuStments' and
congress has voted overwhelming
ly against any consideration of
further revision.
Anti-Hoover sharpShooters are
expected to open up on this phase
and there's no telling to what
proportions the debts may rise as
a campaign issue.
One of Hoover'ss jobs will be to
defend the tariff. In the west he
must defend his record on farm
relief.
His record on power is reason
ably sure to become an issue in
case Roosevelt, who is endorsed
by Psogressives for his stand, is
nominated.
THE Hoover campaign will suf-
Il fer, it appears now, from a
dearth of both money and high
powered campaign speakers.
The party treasurer recently es-
timated that the campaign would
have to be waged on about a mil
lion dollars.
The Democrats aren't likely to
be much better off financially,
however, especially since most of
the big money" Democrats are
not so fond of Roosevelt.
Latest belief is that Senator
William E. Borah of Idaho will
not go or the stump for Hoover
this year, although you never can
tell about Borah.
Of course, Charles Evans Hughes,
the other big gun orator of 1923,
now is chief justice.
Bereft of Borah and Hughes,
with Charles Curtis as his running
mate-not a star speaker, now 70
and sunk further than ever into
obScurity-Hoover will have to be
responsible for most of the really
big speeches.
The cabinet members and other
prominent Republicans who will
be stumping for him are not yet
impressive as grade national
figures, with the exception of for
mer Vice-President Dawes, who
knows how to brighten people.
Secretary of the Treasury Mills,
Secretary of War Hurley and the
other cabinet members will be on
the job, however.
Senator Dickinson of Iowa, the
Republican keynoter, probably will
be the chief Hoover speaker in the
farm states, with some help from
Secretary of Agriculture Hyde.

LEGAL BEER AT
ONCE is URGED
BY DELEGATES
Poll of Platform Group OF
Democrats Indicates
Modification Trend.

The question of repeal of the
eighteenth amendment has domi-
mated parliamentary discussion Of
the liquor question but on Main
street the average man is asking
What about beer?"
The -prohibitionist wants to
know If he must wait for the slow
process Of repeal before the brewer
les can open
The prohibitionist wants to know
whether he must fight modifica-
ton Of the Volstead act while he, at
the same time, is battling to prevent
removal from the Constitution of
the eighteenth amendment.
In rural sections, those not OPP
posed to liquor in all forms, are
arguing that opening Of the brew
cries would give employment and
would consume large quantities of
the farmers grain.
Those who favor liberalization of
the liquor laws are saying beer would
furnish a quick and prolific source
for collection of additional taxes.
United Press correspondents, now
making trips through various sec
tions Of the country sounding OUT
the opinions of the man on the
street" find beer and the immediate
modification of the Volstead act
under widespread discussion.
They also find the people asking
the question: IF the eighteenth
amendment is repealed will the con-
troll of liquor traffic be returned to
the states"
The United Press submitted to the
thirty-one members of the resolu-
tions committee of the Democratic
national convention, thus far select
ed, questions designed to bring out
their views on these subjects.
The results, which give light as
to the expected answers of the
Democratic convention to questions
being asked by voters, are given in
the following story.

MO man can look forward to
y the 1882 election campaign
with certainty or even any conf
dence as TO what it will bring
forth. .
Herbert Hoover's political fate
will hang in the balance and it
may be decided by developments
in what possibly will be- the most
extraordinary if not the most
critical period Of the nations his
tory.
Reports of increased unemploy-
ment and growing unrest follow
many vague rumors to the effect
that Hoover, after the adjourn
ment of congress, will propose
some sort of coalition" govern
ment as a means of meeting the
economic emergency.
And there is a common belief
that the Hoover reelection cam
paign will be based on cry that
the government must be pre-
served, that Hoover is the captain
who can bring us through the
storm. that the Republican party
is best fit to rule, that we must
not change toboggans in the mid
die of the slide or, if you prefer,
canoes while going over Niagara
Falls.
The outlook is more cloudy
than alarming, but until the bust
ness recession is halted, political
developments will be increasingly
predicated on the depression with
prohibition and other issues sub
ordinated proportionately.
ONE thing quite clear is that
~ both candidates and both
parties will go to as great lengths
as they think necessary to win the
election.
Obviously to the degree in which
Hoover and the Republicans be-
heye themselves likely to be de-
feated by popular anger at the
administrations failure to prevent
or alleviate depression and unem-
ployment, they may be depended
upon to take strong measures to
save themselves.
