Times Special Writer

NEW YORK, May 6.-When the
l. Y banking and currency COM
mittee of the United States senate
dabbled into the question of short
selling on the New York Stock Ex-
change a year ago, it placed Ber-
nard E. Smith on the stand and
sought to make him break down
and confess that he was "a big bear
raider
mo one ever has called me a
bear raider to my face" said the
bulky and rubicund Mr. Smith, in
his very Silken voice, and do not
really know what they mean by a
raider"
Queries and proddings had no
more effect upon his shock-a
sorber nerves than do the rumors
which daily sweep Wall street and
which he consistently disregards.
He was known "as big short OPP
orator" he conceded, and that was
all.
Ask him today about the story
that whenever President Hoover
issued reassuring statement he
went short on a block of stock.
The answer is a Spoofing and in
nocent disclaimer, of piece with
his testimony to the senators.
And it is indeed true. He is not
a bear. He is not bull. He is too
resourceful a speculator to be tied
up in any emotional complex either
way, because definitely and on am
pie scale he is both.
The market has been engaged in
a nearly perpendicular drop, with
upturns few and brief for three
years past, with the short position
clearly the side of profit.
MIR. SMITH is not fool. But lis
AV1 ten to him now, changing the
subject quickly from bearishness:
I'm very bulliSh right now-very
bulliSh on gold mines and aviation.
If 1 talked about short selling,
lot of people who lost money would
think I personally forced their
stocks down. They would hate me.
AS an honest fact, there were some
stocks that I wouldn't sell at all.
Il knew they were going down,
but friends of mine were loaded
with them, and 1 didn't want them
to think 1 was putting pressure on
their stuff"
Nevertheless, in Wall Street these
days the name Ben Smith means
bear. And the Street pays a per-
sonal respect to him as one trader
who has cleaned up.
About three years ago the COM.
Portable reticence he has enjoyed
all his life was broken into when
the newspapers wrote about him as
Sell En- Ben" and quoted his
Sell EN-. They're not worth any
thing"
Fantastic profits were credited to
him then, as high as $5000,000 and
$100000,000 in single thirty days.
What he has made he alone
knows. Picayune trade is not for
him. The other day he bought an
extra 10000 shares of an aviation
stock after having seen it, himself
already on the bull side, jump from
Az to IL. He believed it was still
headed upward.
you've got to have the courage
to support your opinion" he said
as the one bit of sage advice in a
scattered conversation.

TO MEET OLD LINERS
Shifts Forced for Tilt Tomorrow
Night When Palmer, a Guard,
Is Ruled Ineligible.

DLACKSBURG, Va, January 6.-His
- hopes of a winning team hit by

Monk Younger. basket ball coach at
Virginia Poly, is reSorting to the jug
gler's art.

Palmer. who in two campaigns had
proved Techs ableSt running guard

omore.

George Smith and Duncan Holsclaw-
who galloped impressively in the Poly
backfield last Fall, are battling Heinie
Groth, a veteran, for the other guard
position. If any one of the sophs comes
through. the Tech mentor probably will
send Capt. Hall back to forward.
Veterans Al Seaman and Paul Wolfe

PACIFIC ATHLETES
PLAYING OVERTIME
At Least s West Coast Loop
Colleges Break "3-Year"
Participation Rule.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
OS ANGELES, January 6.-Ath-
leteS who were ineligible be-
cause of three previous years Of
competition represented at least
six members Of the Pacific Coast Con-
ference during 1881 and 1882, the re-
port of Jonathan A. Butler disclosed
today.
The report on the general athletic
conditions Of the conference was the
result of Is months investigation by
Butler at the behest Of the universities.
The report in general gave the con-
ference a clean bill of health.
During the period of this survey"
said Buffers report, athletes who were
ineligible because they previously had
three years of varsity competition
have represented at least six member
universities in intercollegiate athletics.
These athletes in most instances were
men who had transferred from other
colleges"
None of these athletes or their schools
was named in the report.
Butler said the recruiting of athletes
and the giving OF financial aid through
outside sources, jobs, loans and scholar
ships prevailed at most of the institu-
lions. In all cases, he said, either no
conference rule against it was found
or the question Of violation was de-
batable.
Among "A suggestions Butler proposed
the conference consider raising its
academic standards for athletic eligibil-
ity, limit athletic participation of any
man to his first eight semesters and
abolish freshman competition. He
recommended the conference determine
the propriety of goodwill tours of high
schools by coaches and the offering Of
jobs and scholarships to athletes.

Records cracked in the many events
will be officially recognized and an eff
ficient corps of officials will be hand at
the Venetian pool to clock the natatorS.
But from what I can gather from
Mrs. Florence Skadding Morris, who
knows her swimming, this two-and-one-
half turn which Miss Coleman features
is home run, touchdown and a
bullseye act. AS I understand it, a lot
of gal swimmers can do two turns, but
when it comes to adding that extra
half-fiip 1t takes a water wizard.
Yes sir, Mrs. Morris Is more
pepped about this ttUo-dnd "a halt
business than most people are about
one that calls for three-point-ttU0.
I hazilys understand that the Cali
fornia peach goes into two revolutions
in the air, starts on another and, wom-
an-like, changes her mind and starts
back. making the last turn just half
turn.
Maybe that's wrong. But Mrs. Morris
has spent no little time in describing,
with gestures, just how this is done.
And if Mrs. Morris can't make me
understand a two-and-a-haf turn in
the air. then it's my fault and not Mrs.
Morris.
But from Mrs Morris enthusiasm
in describing the air flip, know that
it must be a peach, even If i cannot
visualize it. Having a young lady
swimmer doing somersaults on your
drawing board to prove something
shows that she is in earnest, and
interested in her work.
Accompanying Mrs. Morris, and oc-
casionally aiding in the description OF
the two-and-one-half spin. was Marie
Duvall, a 16-year-old youngster from
the Coast. Marie, however, was saving
the acrobatics for tomorrow night, when
she completes in the diving and back
stroke events for women.
Marie, Mrs. Morris says, is going
places in swimming. At 10 years of age
the California youngster was rated a
prodigy. But she gave up the sport for
few years to. come back last year to
end the season with a victory over
Onalene Lawrence and Lois Bates in an
A. A. U. meet. the latter girls are not
swimming bench-warmers, either.
Marie, says Florence, is going to
cut a tOdke in the local pools this
season 10hich may bring her national
prominence.
And Sweet Marie, teetering on her
toes during the gossiping, merely smiles
But Marie has enough energy. enough
youth. to cause her to smile and, plus
her ability. ought to go grinning her
way clear to the top.

with three stars. Outfielders Carl Rey-

Brown. In fact, the Browns believe
they got the better of the deal. Incl
dentally, the Browns finished the year
with sensational third baseman, Art
Scharein.
CLEVELAND has another first base
~ man in Harley Boss, who had a
spectacular season in the Southern
League last year; while from Toledo it
obtained Hale, who may crowd Willie
Kamm off third base; a splendid young
catcher in Pytlak and at least two
promising young pitchers in Bean and
Winegarner
New York made no trades, but did
purchase from Glass AA league teams
three pitchers. Van Alta of st. Paul,
Deshong of Sacramento and Brennan
of Newark.
At any rate, the American League
clubs have shown a greater disposition
to trade and introduce new faces.
