BRIDGE DRIVE INTENSIFIED

So far as regards the promoters Of the
bridge project, their sky of confidence is
still without single cloud
They have arranged to make an in
tensive drive during the next four or five
weeks to get money to construct the bridg-
es, and, with that object in view they will
have from four to six contact men in Wash
ington and from two to four in Tallahassee
to keep alive, day in and day out, the
bridge proposition till the cumulative eff
forts, the promoters feel confident, result
in success.
The probability that c. B. Treadway,
chairman of the State Road Department,
will be appointed state administrator of
public works by President Roosevelt is an
other factor that has enheartened mem
bers of the Bridge Commission, as it is
known that Governor Sholtz, one of those
who have endorsed Mr.. Treadway for the
position, has favored for many years the
proposed long bridges.
Indeed, Governor Sholtz had a plan
of his own that, he assured friends in Key
West, he would have advocated when he
became governor had not the movement
started, six months before he was indicted
into office, to try to obtain loan from the
K. f. c. At present Governor Sholtz's
interest in the bridge proposition is far
more intense than it was before the move
ment became as concrete as it is now, so
that Key Westers may feel assured that,
with Chairman Treadway, the governors
loyal supporter, assuming the office of
state administrator, they will have in him
a man who realizes that great benefits
will accrue not only to Monroe and Dade
counties but to the state at large by the
construction of bridges between No Name
Key and Lower Matecumbe.
Every since he has been in Washing
ton as representative of this congressional
district, ]. Mark Wilcox has been active
in assisting the bridge advocates And,
according to information received by The
Citizen, he is going to continue that activi-
ty.
He returned to his home in West Palm
Beach for the Fourth of July holiday, but
will go back to Washington to join the for
ces that are working before the Public
Works Board to get its approval of the APP
plication for money to build the bridges.
Indications at present are that Key
Westers will know in the next four or five
weeks whether or not the federal govern
ment will finance the construction of the
bridges, because, while the contact men
there are doing their work, the Bridge
Commission will attend to the details, re-
CURED by their action, at a meeting to be
held in Key West at an early date

This degree brings traits of an
other seemingly dual nature. The

in way. will often hold good pos
itions and make a good marriage.
There is, however, that tendency
to idle habits, or rather a distaste
for steady work, and the success
is generally due to overcoming
these traits by watchfulness and
clever manipulation Of opportuni-

Revenge Is
Blue Goal
Butler Eleven Out to Erase
34-to-0 Setback by
Wabash.

BEAT Wabash" was the cry on
the Butler football practice field to-
day as the Bulldogs prepared to
avenge last years "a to trouncing
by the Scarlet FASTENERS in next
Saturdays home coming battle at
Fairview bowl.
With his team demonstrating its
best form of the season in last Fri
days easy win over Evansville,
Coach Fritz Mackey planned to
tighten the work this week. There
are no serious injuries in the Bull
dog camp, but several FASTENERS are
bothered by bruises.
In eleven games since 1921, Butler
has triumphed seven times, Wabash
three, and one tilt resulted in tie.
The Bulldogs will be strengthened
Saturday by the first appearance of
Jim Carr, triple-threat back, who
has been out since the start of the
season with injuries.
Wabash also is reported in top
shape for Saturdays battle. The
Cavemen easily disposed of Rose
Poly last week, with shock troops
playing most of the game. Black
burn, center, and Long, former local
prep star who divides his time be-
tween end, quarter back and half
back, are expected to be ready for
action.
Several other former local high
school players will be in the Wabash
starting lineup, including Berns, star
end, and Luzar, husky full back.

Early Season Returns Indicate Middle Football Stronghold

WHAT does that indicate? 1t
w may indicate that most Of the
class in 1888 football lies in the
middle west. Certainly, it has been
a long time since any one section
has had chance, and having the
chance, demonstrated it's superiority
over such a wide stretch Of enemy
terrain. If not significant the re-
turns were at least interesting.
Among the important g m S
scheduled for this coming Saturday
is Michigan and Ohio State. 1t
takes on an added Importance and
a national interest because of what
has gone before. Unless both Cor
nell and Vanderbilt were markedly
weak the outcome of this game will
have a bearing not only on Sec
tional but national rankings, if you
happen to be interested in such
