 Failure of the courts to decide on the question of who won in the 21st district before the sen- ate session opens will not deter the democrats, Senator Lawlor explained The decision of the state courts in favor of the re- publican, of course, would give the g.o.p. leaders the control of the senate. 4
 Senator Lawlor pointed out that under the state Constitution successor is qualified. The demo- cratic candidate in Bridgeport, Will liam Conley. defeated his g.o.p opponent by 25 votes but the state board of canvassers has refused to certify his election pending a court decision.
 As MT Conley may not be able to sit in at the opening session o1 the Senate some persons figured that it would result in a tie be- :. tween the republicans at the outset of the session. This is not 50 However, as Senator Frank Atwatel of Bridgeport, who represented the 21st in the last session ant who is a democrat, will hold ovel 1until his successor is qualified" This, therefore. will give the dem dcrats their majority of one in th' senate, Senator Lawlor pointed out Rence the decision to proceed a originally planned on Monda. night.

on previous kicks. South Dakota
had used a diamond defense and its
left halfback played entirely too far
back. So now. when the ball came
back, he let No. (Richmond) take
it, and, with South Dakota charging
in fast, ran wide around his own

simultaneously No. (Berg) dashed
out toward the defensive left half

as disastrously as was ex-
pected, bowling to speedy Catho-
lie University eleven, At to 0, today
at the Lewisohn Stadium. For the
opening 20 minutes of the contest
the Lavender held the flying
Cardinals at bay, but then the
crushing reserve power Of the visi-
tors from Washington manifested
itself and they scored two touch
downs in the second, two more in
the third and three in the fourth.
Handicapped as it was by ineligibility
and the religious holiday, it is improb-
able that the Lavender could have made
a much better showing against the
Capital eleven even with its full
strength. For when the big guns in the
Catholic attack began to function there
was no stopping them and on the
ground and in the air the Washing
tonians gained almost at will.
1T was strapping Tom Whelan who
i was raised within two blocks Of City
Colleges Gothic buildings and who
used to play in Jasper oval, just across
from LeWisohn Stadium, who was the
outstanding player on either side Of
the line. Heralded as the spearhead
ot the Cardinal attack, Whelan full
flled every expectation today He scored
two OF his teams touchdowns, although
he was not in action more than three
quarters Of the game He passed with
bullet-like accuracy and he reeled of
the longest run Of the game, 65 yards,
in the second period.
The locals succeeded in holding the
visitors scoreless in tire first quarter.
In the second period, after an ex-
change OF punts, Mondschein fumbled
on his own 20-yard line, and Fraatz
recovered. Catholic failed to make any
headway in this series. but then Fraat2
blocked punt by Lazarus on the Law
ender's 3-yard line A penalty brought
the ball back to the l7-yard line, and
then. on pass from Whelan, Jankow-
ski scored the first touchdown. Whelan
kicked the extra point.
ESS than a minute later he took the
~ opening kickoff and ran IS yards
for touchdown behind perfect in
reference. Thereafter it was all Cardi-
nal. The visitors did not score for 10
minutes. but all play was In Lavender
territory. Then Whelan scored his sec
ond touchdown, and was instrumental
in the making Of another a short while
later when he passed to Jankowski for
80 yards and a score.
The fourth period was little short of
-out. Catholic U. gained virtually
at will. and Santry, Gerald Gearty and
Sheary scored within a short time Of
