CHICAGO, August I'D. Leigh
Colvin, chairman of the Prohibition
party's National Committee. last night
attacked the liquor control plan ad-
vocated in President Hoover's accept
ance speech, asserting mo opponent Of
liquor can support such an amazing
proposal by voting for Mr.. Hoover"
The change which Mr.. Hoover ad-
vocates would wipe out national pro-
hibition," Colvin said. 1T would de-
stroy the present barriers which prevent
States from legalizing liquor traffic for
the sake of revenue. 1t would establish
States rights in the Constitution. 1t
would provide an incentive for liquor
traffic to reorganize and pour out
millions to corrupt the States, one by
one.
"Breweries and distilleries would
again dominate politics. They would
carry on widespread advertising cam
paigns.
Liquor, widely distributed to the
homes of the country. would be worse
than having it consumed in saloons.

Joe Williams ON Band Wagon
For Scheme to Pep Base Ball

and American League clubs in New
York next month.
Newspapers throughout the coun-
try are touching on the plan, the
first stove league argument OF con-
sequence to crop up this Winter.
The suggestion offered to the base
ball moguls is one which would ben
eft the game at time when it Is
showing signs Of dull complacency.
The leaders of the sport who be-
lieve that the sport needs a general
popping up are in majority, and IN
the van in this group is John J. Nc
Graw of the National Leagues New
York Giants.
Jacob Rupert and Ed Barrow Of
the Yankees, Bob Quinn Of the Red
Sox, Clark Griffth Of the Senators
and others among the club owners
look with favor upon the plan.
The general feeling is that base ball
needs q stimulant. and that men
like johnson, Robinson and Wag-
ner could do much in visiting
schools and sandlots to teach and
to prach the national pastime's aims.

He Is Phil Gross, a tackle on the

Lou Gross, former line coach at col

was one Of the best forwards IN MS

We. who have watched Phil vigor-

get away to make deadly tackle, know

Is plenty more.
For instance:
After the Boston College game
last year, coaches, players and news

him the finest tackle to play there
during the season.
Duuuesne, this year, admitted him to
be their main trouble. And Elmer Lay

him great" player.
Pat Miller. coach at Wake Forest,
said he was an outstanding hneman
this year.
Providence College men said that to
hit his side was like butting into so
much pig iron.
And Dutch Bergman, the Cardinals
tutor, contends that he is the best line
man he has taught and ranks him as
one of the East's best.

Whelan has not specialized in often
sive tactics recently, having turned his
talents to all-around play. However. the
dazzling C. U. ace probably will step
out in all his glory once more as he
brings to a close colorful and glorious
career.
Duly impressed with the spirit Of
sacrifice exhibited by Whelan this sea-
son, his teammates are lining up solidly
behind him for this occasion. If their
well-laid plans materialize, holes wide
enough to drive a truck through will
pave the way to his touchdown lunges.
Whether Tommy closes his career in
a blaze of glory" Head Coach Dutch
Bergman declared today, "his general
1882 play has been far above that OF a
season ago.
"A year ago we were In position to
sacrifice his multiple talents, permitting
him to run wild for touchdowns. When
we needed his blocking, tackling and
general play this year, however, Whelan
came through just as nobly."
That one of G. us ace starting backs,
John Jankowski, will be missing Satur-
day was the prospect this morning.
Jankowsh twisted an ankle during a
scrimmage yesterday and had to leave

In the event Jankowsh Is unable to

DACK in 1918, Tacks Hardwick of
ID Harvard earned a reputation
as one of the greatest all
around foot ball players in the
games history.
Hardwick now lives In Boston,
where he represents banking firm
of which he is member. Tacks
was eninently successful on the
gridiron and he has been that way
ever since he was graduated.
Hardwick played all sorts Of posi-
tons for Percy Haughton. He was
a halfback ON the famous 1914
team. He was an end, tackle, and
7 believe he even filed in at center.
He was the perfect player-the
coaeh's ideal He had foot ball in
tuition combined with perfect know
how, and fitted right into the Har-
ward scheme of play, which at that
time was the beau ideal Of the grid
iron and still is used by some grid
iron teachers as the foundation Of
their systems.
Hardwick's versatility may be
cleaned from the fact that in 1918
some experts picked him as q back
ON their all-star teams. And Walter
Camp named him an end on his
second all-America.
