coach of Carnegie Tech, sends
word that on Saturday in Griffith
Stadium he will start against
GEORGETOWN a line that averages

BOXING IN GYM

BY an almost unanimous vote,
the Board of Education has given
amateur boxing a big boost in
Washington in approving the re-
quest of Columbus University to
hold intercollegiate bouts in the
Tech High gym.
George Whitwell was the only
member to vote against the &C
ton and DR.. Hayden johnson.
president of the board, who
nearly a year ago cast his vote
to make a tie, was absent yester-
day.
The six affirmative votes were
cast by the three women mem
bers, Mrs. Philip Sidney Smith,
Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle and
Mrs. Mary McNeill. and Henry
Gilligan, Henry I. Quinn and c.
H. Houston.
simultaneously with the an
nouncement of the boards deci-
sion, William E. Russell, presi-
dent of the District Of Columbia
Amateur Athletic Union, called
upon the Board Of Education for
permission to use Mckinley gym
nasium for boxing bouts, entirely

an extent, in fact, that when New
York University decided to ex'
pand it's athletic program the
dashing young Meehan was its
choice to handle the job.
Whale of a Job
What a whale CT a job Chick
did with the Violets! Taking over
a lost cause, the personable
youngster proceeded to completely
reorganize his forces.
Bright hued uniforms were pro-
vided every player Furthermore,
every uniform and helmet was
meticulously cleaned after each
game, all hands entering each
game literally shining in violet
regalia.
A trick military shift was
adopted and players, upon enter
ing and leaving the game, were in
structed to literally speed into po-
Sition, showing heads up alert
ness and enthusiasm that would
carry its appeal to the cash Gus
toners.
Meehan ever was one to play to
the crowd. First he started build
ing up his following by 'papering
the house. Later the Violets, hav-
ing captured the public fancy,
willingly laid it on the line to see
Meehan-made attraction.
New York us sports program
doomed tremendously from both a
financial and competitive stand
point and was just reaching its
peak when the powers that be de-
cided to de-emphasize their ath-
letic program.
Refused to Stay
Meehan was instructe d he
could carry on the new enterprise
but refused. Rather he elected to
retire from football, bent upon de.
voting his time to an outside bust
ness venture.
But the old urge was still there.
And when Manhattan College
turned to Chick with a sporting
proposition, he readily accepted
the athletic dictatorship of that
school. AS Meehan claimed:
Gust for the fun of It,"
Now it's Manhattan College
that Is booming. Again Chicks
fine hand is seen in the gradual
rise of the Brooklyn institution
The same trumpet blaring and the
fanfare surrounding New Univer
sity's football shows abounds at
Ebbetts Field under Meehan'S
regime. And I wouldn't be sur
prised If Manhattan, in due time,

TEAM NAMED
(Continued From Page 25)

(continued From Page 25)
Bryant and Billy Richardson, both
of Central, still others. But the
post is given to Joe Mills, of
Eastern, because of his general
all-round ability as a paSSer,
punter and ball carrier and his
excellent play for Eastern through
out the series. This lad was Sc
lected on last years team.
In selecting Wynne, of western,
and DeLiSio, Of Central, as the
ends, the team" is given a pair
of wingmen that were easily the
standouts in a series with few
dependable ends. Wynne, like his
teammate, Corcoran. in the back
field, was the guiding hand in
Westerns big but inexperienced
line while DeLisio proved to be
one of the best ends in the series
in catching passes, running down
puntS and otherwise doing his
part in CentraPS defense.
Bob Gamage, of Western, one
of the tackles selected was the
same sort of player as Wynne, just
discussed. He was the "other''
experienced man in Westerns
line and besides this his play was
easily the most noteworthy of his
brother tackles in the series
Campbell was just a "darned
good" tackle for Eastern, and the
best of the others in the series be-
sides Gamage.
Best of Careers
Nick PiStolaS and Frank Nicolo-
polous. Enough said here as the
pair of Central guards played the
best football of their respective
careers. They take the guard
posts without any opposition al,
though Geiger, of Tech, must be
mentioned.
Johnny Dunn takes Fred Bax-
ter'S place as center. Fred won
the post easily last year because
of his excellent play for Tech,
but he became injured early this
season and wasn't in enough
games to get the position again.
Therefore, Dunn, because Of his
dependable performance for Gen.
tral, is given the call over such
youngsters as Lewis, of Eastern,
Sullivan, of Western. Mcintosh,
of Roosevelt, and of course, Bax-
ter. of Tech.

Never Found One
At no time in my 20 years Of
college football coaching have 1
encountered such an individual
as this hard boiled, conniving
cinema coach who Shames the
name of the institution he repre-
sents in his crazed pursuit Of
personal gain.
Hiring of uneducated, uncouth
and dishonest athletes such as
is perpetrated by this coach is
something that has never actually
occurred in American college
football. Indeed, the practices
resorted to in this respect are
on their face ridiculous, as for
example the outright discussion
of contracts, ETC., among a player
who can't speak the English
language, the coach, and fly
by-night sort of business man
ager.
Couldn't Endure
That combination couldn't en-
dure five seconds within miles OF
any American institution OF
higher learning.
Worst of all the assaults made
upon the character of college
football in this picture is scene
wherein the coach implies, none
too subtly, that the opposing
team can be beaten only by in
juring it's star player, and an
other scene showing the star
being carried on a Stretcher to
an ambulance. I don't believe
any coach nor any team in COL
lege football has ever stopped to
such degraded effort.

REPEAL IS SEEN
AS DOOM FOR
INCOME TAX
U. S. Expected to Go Back to
Pre-War Basis If Prohibi-
ton Is Abolished

Repeal Of the Eighteenth
Amendment might eventually
mean the United States could
return to the pre- war basis Of
taxation on a somewhat modified
scale.
Provided that manufacturers
excise, stamp, and other new
taxes written into the revenue
act were retained. the Govern
ment under normal conditions
could obtain sufficient revenues
from liquor, beer, customs, to-
bacco, and miscellaneous sources
without the fluctuating and un-
certain income tax.
Liquor Tax Runs High
Officials pointed out today
that estimates of revenue from
distilled spirits for the first year
placed the return at about $780,
100000 with $150,000,000 added
for beer.
Normally, it was believed,
$500,000,0OO might be expected
from liquor, $450,000,000 from
tobacco, $1,000, 100000 from other
miscellaneous internal revenue,
$30,OO0,O0O from special funds,
$100,00O,000 from miscellaneous
items such as Panama Canal
tolls and others, $115,000,000
from trust funds, and $400,000,"
900 from customs.
That would yield more than
$2,500, 100000, not much less than
the regular budget expenditure
in the 1884 fiscal year.
The tax on liquor has ranged
widely from $1.10 a gallon to
$6.40, which was the peak figure
for a short time in 1919. The
medicinal liquor tax was first
1920, and after two reductions
is now $1.10. On beverage liquor
the $6.40 tax still stands. That
would mean $1.60 a quart, pro-
hibitive levy.
Low Tax Called Best
Some officials thought it ad-
visable to fix tax at a level
which would place the prices OF
liquor at about the prewar fig
ures of from IS cents to $3.50 a
full quart. They believed that
the income return from a nomi-
nal tax would be greater than
from high levy.
Repeal of the amendment would
find the United States with less
than 100000 gallons OF aged
liquor. The peak prewar with
drawal for any one year was 1885,
100000 gallons. The aged liquor
on hand was estimated at about
a years medicinal supply under
recently enacted legislation which
removes restrictions on amounts
physicians may prescribe.
