Elmer Smith

The death of Elmer Smith, 45-year-old LAWYER of
Centralia, Wash, was heralded in no headlines. Yet
it was what the American Civil Liberties Union calls
"a lamenta5le loss to the cause of civil liberty and
working class rights"
SMITHS death was, in way, martyrdom For
years he toured his home state, undermining his
health by living in cheap rooms and eating poor food.

who were serving sentences of from twenty-five to
forty years for defending their hall against an attack

For crltlcising the trials of these men, Smith was

man who wrote the disbarring opinion was named
Kenneth Macintosh nominee for the federal circuit

1t is unfortunate that Lawyer Smith could not live
to tell his story to the senate committee examining
the fitness of Macintosh for the post to which the
President has nominated him.

This eleven has been playing
exceptionally fine ball during the

Irish Foresee
Real Battle
With Pitt
BY WILLIAM L. COLLINS

CHICAGO, Oct. 26. - Notre
Dame opens its football schedule
Saturday. They figured on be-
ginning last week, but Carnegie
proved to be just another Haskell
and Drake, just another victim
tossed to Notre Danes 1882 foot
ball Frankenstein.
But they are looking for some
competition from the Pitt Panthers
at Pittsburgh Saturday. In fact,
they are viewing with alarm. But
it is safe wager that DR.. Jock
Sutherland is even more alarmed.
Especially if he has conferred with
his neighbors from Carnegie.
True, the Scots of Carnegie
halted the point-a-minute scoring
rampage of the South Bend teams,
but only by a margin of three
points. One hundred seventy
seven points in 180 minutes is the
Irish scoring record to date.
Discounts Tie
Hunk Anderson doesn't expect
to make up that three points
against Pitt. He is discounting
the nothing to nothing tie be-
tween the PantherS and an
inferior Ohio State team. For
Hunk figures that Ohio State
was pointing for the Pitt game,
and the Buckeyes were playing
over their heads. Just as Pitt
and Army and Northwestern
and Southern Cal and all the rest
are pointing for the Irish.
When the downtown coaches
attempt to remove the frown of
gloom and perplexity that creases
Hunks brow by reminding him
of the excellence of the Notre
Dame defense, which has allowed
three opponents exactly nothing.
Hunk reminds the reminders of
a lad at Pitt, Warren Heller by
name, who romped 81 yards for
touchdown against, and
through, the Army, and passed
to Skladany for the other two
Panther touchdowns. Without

up as a match for Notre Dame.
But Heller is a Heller against
any mans football club, and
Anderson has a healthy respect
for his hellish activities.
Irish BackfieIdS
Still Heller will have to be a
devil in disguise to compete on
even terms with Mr.. Anderson's
various backfields- ds-JaSkWhich,
koken, LukatS, BanaS. Melinko-
vich, Brancheau, Sheeketski and
Vejar.
The Notre Damers have been
drilling intensively on a defense
for the Pitt aerial attack, Mr..
Anderson feeling that he can
squander some time on defensive
tactics since his offense has func-
toned fairly well to date.
The Pitt-Notre Dame rivalry
began in 1909. The Panthers
held the Irish to a scoreless tie
in 1911-undoubtedly hailed a
moral victory" by Pitt adher-
ents-and the other four meet
ings have resulted in Notre Dame
victories. Last fall the Irish won,

RUGGED ELEVEN
FACES MARINES
SATURDAY

The Quantico Marines will be
confronted by stern and rug
ged foe when they square off
with the Davis-Elkins College
gridders in the Clark Griffith
Stadium on Saturday afternoon,
with hostilities to commence at
2:30 o'clock. Studded with blue
ribbon players, the West Vir-
ginia collegians are planning to
make the afternoon one of Bit
ter disappointment for the
Leathernecks.
Two of the outstanding play
ers are James Wallace, the giant
21O-puund tackle, and Lester
Corzlne, flashy 195-pound full
back. Incidentally, they are CO.
captains of the team. Wallace,
a senior, is the heaviest man on
the squad. He is particularly
brilliant on the defense and
possessed of unlimited stamina.
Tower of Strength
Corzine, also playing his last
season for Davis -Elkins, is q
plunger of the highest order.
Fast and shifty, and a fine in
terferer. Corzine is also a tower
of defense against passes and
running plays.
A trio of whippet backs who
will wear the Davis -Elkins colors
are George ("Spud") Taylor,
Harry CBud'D Shelton and Joe
Pease, who mught get footlooSe
at any moment. They're the
type that don't stop once beyond
the line scrimmage until the
enemy goal line has been passed.
Of course, getting them out in
the open is the duty of their es-
corts from the line and back
field.
Kapp Is Spirited
Marvin Kapp, spirited player,
is filling the great Hawley'S shoes
at center in fine style. AS stout
hearted as a bulldog, he tips the
beam at ITS pounds.
The ends are Ellis Vest, 100
pounds of fighting heart and cool
head; Thurma n Hodges, 180
and Roy Key, I'll pounds.
The guards are light and fast,
while the other tackles are of
average size and weight.
Indeed. the Marines will have
an advantage in weight or the
Scarlet Hurricane" but the
collegians don't mind spotting
their rivals poundage.

Astor Clarke, who flashed into
prominence two years ago as a
bowler of first magnitude by win
ming the Howard Campbell
sweepstakes in spectacular fash
ion, believe7 that it will take at
least 1900 to win. Clarke states:

"The new cutters also aren't

Newn DiSagreeS
Dutch Newman Iisagrees with
Clari>e's views, saying:
81 believe the winner will
not require much more than
1875. That's a lot of duck
pins, and it represents an aver
age of 125 per game. How many
local bOwlerS can boast a bet
ter average for Is games in
leagues right now? How often
has it been necessary to roll
better than that to win an all
star event? 1878 should cop it
easily"
Pop" HALEY refused to COM
ment on the probable l5-game
score, declaring:
years of experience have
taught me that duckpinS are
uncertain, and the way bOwlers
of all types have been scatter.
tering the little naples this
season all predictions are dan
gerOuS. I'll say this, however,
the highest sets will be rolled
at my place."
OPEN TO ALL BOWLERS
What will win it?
The Dixie Sweepstakes, the
first major national event on

Against Appeals

Passing of the hat in a movie
theater with funds derived turned
over to the National Variety Art
lists failed to make hit with
patrons. The collections we're
small, away below what was
gathered in the seven-day drive
in 1881, and not enough to keep
the N. V. A. charity activities
going.
I am in favor of a substitute
plan suggested by a local theater
executive yesterday. He feels
that working vaudeville and mo-
ton picture actors, direct bene-
ficiaries Of the fund, should con-
tribute a small percentage of
their weekly salary-say one-haIf
of one per cent-to sustain the
N. V. A. and its relief work. This
money, plus the sums received in
a series of annual benefit per.
formanceS would raise the neces-
sary income, he feels. At any
rate audiences have made it plain
that they are not in sympathy
with the direct touch when they
come to be amused. AS a matter
of truth most theater managers
are dead against the collections.
Some blame poor business last
week on this N. v. A. drive.

moving his hat.
When it came to honesty,

He was so honest that it was

But the twists that life takes

niger would have no column
and everybody would be better

to step right up and shake
hands with Charlie Smith, the
twist in the life of our model
cashier.
Charlie was no silver lining
for anybody's cloud. He was a
small time gambler and race
tipster, and he was fully as
crooked as our hero was hon
est. To hear him talk, there
was no one he didn't know
and nothing he couldn't do,
It is most unfortunate that
I am compelled to toss our
cashier and Charlie together,
but what is a poor columniSt to
do? They met at one OF those
parties in one of those apart

What was worse, he was
whispering things. Let's step
behind them for a moment.

"John," Charlie was saying,
''Tve never met a guy that l
liked more than I do you:
One look at your map and
anybody would know that
you're strictly regular guy"
He looked around the room.
I'm going to tell you some

know you won't let out a peep
to nobody. These people at
this party don't think as much
of me as they might. And do
you know why? It's because
I'm not in the big dough at
the present moment"
81 think you're mistaken"
observed our hero. Nobody
feels that"
That's where you're on the
wrong foot" interrupted Charlie
confidently. "I can sense
things. All my life I've been
sensing things. I know about
people by looking in their eyes,
and these mugs amt fooling
me. But I'm going to let you
in on something that's gonna
surprise you. This is Monday
night. On Friday night, every
body in this room will be tell

His voice grew even lower.
And do you know why? I

The whole race is fixed and
there isn't chance in a mil

wrong. I've been around the
