GN.S0.-Eyes that look on
gallows and do not finch
Eyes that burn the witness box
with grim, proud challenge while
his accusers hurl Murderer" in
his face
These are the eyes of David
Lamson, drawing like living mag
nets in the courtroom yesterday
when he was held to answer on a
charge of numbering his young
wife in the bathtub of their
Stanford campus home.
Imperious, defiant, they seemed
to say as Howard Burlington, ace
prosecution witness, took the
! stand:
"WiII he tell the truth? Will
he say the simple words as told
them? What black, sinister
thing is about to be done to
me?"
Battle of Eyes
A battle of eyes those who saw
will never forget. All the breath
less, anxious emotion of these
three days was concentrated in
one great impulse that moved TO-
ward Burlington as the rough
and-ready, soft-voiced deputy
sheriff began his testimony.
DR.. Margaret Lamson and Mrs.
Willis Thoit, sisters of the de-
fendant, turned a flashing, heart

FULL Term FOR
CITY'S SCHOOLS
STILL IN DOUBT
Closing of Semester to De-
pend Largely on Spring
Tax Collections.

Whether indianapolis schools
will have a full ten months school
term this year remains undecided,
although there is possibility the
school term may be shortened.
superintendent Paul c. Stetson
stated today he hoped soon to make
an announcement regarding length
of the school term.
Length of the term depends
largely on collections of spring
taxes. The school board borrowed
5000 900 this week in anticipation of
collections, due on or before May /.
To meet straitened financial con-
ditions, the board last August cut
S857 ,495 from its budget. The Mar
ion county tax adjustment board
sliced this budget an additional
$671 SOL
Some of this loss in revenue has
been met by elimination Of all night
schools, by discOntinuing vocational
education classes and cutting S625,-
450 from salaries and wages of
teachers and other school employees
Another reduction of S2O6,400 was
made in appropriations for the
building and grounds department.
School commissioners have an
nounced it is their policy to adhere
as closely as possible to the full
term schedule.

Mack a Father
to Him---Says
Al Simmons

CHICAGO, Jan. 12.-rAl Sim
mons has one regret in leaving
the Philadelphia Athletics for a
seventh place ball club, but he
has found some consolation in
being near home, he said today,
The big slugger was traded re-
Gently to the Chicago White Sox,
after being with the Athletics
for nine years. Connie Mack is
his big regret. He's going to
miss the "Old Man." whom he
looks upon as q father, Al said
Connie Mack is the great
est guy who ever lived, and by
guy I don't mean disrespect,"
Simmons said. "He, more than
anyone else, is responsible for
my success. 1 had nine gIOri-
Gus years with Connie.
II think he's the greatest
man who ever lived. You can't
say too much for him. It'll
seem odd not to see Connie in
the home dugOut and to be
playing against him and my
old mates"
Enthused by SOx
AL, whose home is in Milwau-
kee, is quite enthused over the
prospects of the White Sox.
WSure I'm glad to be with
the White SOx," he declared.
"It is . club that is rebuild
ing and is likely to be q pen
nant contender in q short time.
Chicago fans are more enthu-
siastic than those in Philadel-
phia and they win support a
winning club"
And then he added as an after
thought:
81 also will be nearer home
playing in Chicago"
AL has spent the fall getting in
condition for his first season with
the Sox. He's playing golf, hunt
ing and fishing.
Sold To Save Money
Simmons believes that Mule
Haas, Jimmy Dykes and himself
we're sold to Chicago to get the
AS out of the red-financially
speaking.
AL is sure that the Athletics
still have a great ball club and
with Washington he expects them
to give the Yankees a real battle
for the American League pennant
this year.

BY SCHOOLS
DECISION
BY HARRY COSTELLO

Now that Cornell has abandoned
her intercollegiate athletic pro-
gram, with the exception Of baS-
ketball, for the remainder Of the
year, what will the more or less
poverty-stricken colleges and uni
versities do?
That question is today on the
lips and in the minds of thousands
Of followers of intercollegiate COM
petition.
The general intercollegiate ath-
letic atmosphere has been charged
with question marks these past
few months. Now that wealthy
Cornell has taken the lead in the
movement to economic, the anti
athletic groups should be able to
get in some real lcks against in
tercollegiate competition, sup
ported in the main by certain
academic groups which never did
wholly believe that intercollegiate
athletic competition is a legiti-
mate adjunct Of American educa-
ton.
According to word from Cor
nell, basketball is continued only
because the season Is under way.
Must Go by Boards
The idea at Ithaca seems to be
that track, crew, baseball, tennis,
wrestling, fencing, lacrosse and
one or two other minor sports,
in which Cornell has always been
prominent, must go by the boards.
Offers of aid for the crew and
for the track team poured into
Ithaca shortly after the an
nouncement Of suspension Of the
intercollegiate program. However,
no offers of aid for the other
sports were received.
AS was to be expected, howls
Of complaint arose from alumni
and students of Cornell. Charles
A. TauSSig, prominent Cornell
alumnuS of New York city, regis
tered the sentiment Of the
alumni when he said that it was
outrageous for Cornell to aban-
don track and crew when Cor
nell has been an outstanding
leader in both sports for so
many years" The feeling among
Ithaca is that che action Of
Cornell'S athletic council in cut
ting off financial support for
intercollegiate athletics is alto
gether too drastic.
Alumni Resent Move
Resentment marks the atti-
tudes of both alumni and stu
dents.
Yale, one Of the influential
leaders Of intercollegiate compe-
tition, was quick to announce
that Eli authorities have no
such move in mind as Cornell
made. However, many persons
well equipped to discuss condi-
tions in the field Of intercollegi-
ate athletic competition today
we're firmly convinced that Cor
nellS move Of yesterday was
only the beginning Of wide
spread suspension of intercol-
legiate athletic programs for the
remainder Of the year.
The action taken by Cornell
may have far-reaching effect on
the intercollegiate athletic activi-
ties Of other institutions, many
of whom only awaited a leader
before abandoning what they
term 'stopheavy and unnecessary
intercollegiate athletic programs."

ENTHUSIASM
MAY REACH
NEWPEAK
BY GARRETT WATERS

b
Enthusiasm.
The dictionary states that this
imposing word means elevation
of fancy; ardor Of mind: fanati-
cisrn.
Hardly q thing Of this sort has
been present in the inter-high
school basketball games to date
at the Tech gymnasium.
Always an important feature
Of the series in past years. q GER
tain lack Of 1t has been the case
this season because Of a Situar
ton which presented itself in
the opening doubleheader fea-
turing one Of the best balanced
Central High teams in several
moons.
Central took all the enthusi-
asm out of the series-at least
most Of it-hy it's play in that
opening day program. The team
passed, ran, and concluSively
outplayed the defending cham
pion, Eastern, to such an extent
that it wiped all thoughts from
the picture that the Mt. Pleasant
machine might be defeated later.
May Return
But this good old enthusiasm
may be returned to the series
this week by the appearance Of
the Tech High five. The Manual
Trainers face the Mt. Pleasant
ers tomorrow in the feature game
Of the doubleheader scheduled
which lists Eastern against West
ern in the opening clash at $3.50
o'clock, and several are holding
thoughts that possibly the Boyd
men will be the team which will
stop Central in its rush for the
title.
These several are not sure that
Tech will ring up a victory as
they can't help but realize Cen
trails power and speed, hut they
vision possibilities that Techs
five-man defense will keep the
Mt, Pleasanters from running
away with things as featured the
teams play against Eastern last
week. is sss - p.
Eastern unfortunately played a
defense against Cen
trail and found to their dismay
that the speedy Mt. Pleasanters
had them literally exhausted be
fore many minutes Of the first
quarter had expired.
Tech Boast of Shots
It is this item that the Manual
Trainers plan to guard against.
They feel that if they are able to
slow up the game in any possible
may, they'll be- able to match the
Mt, PleasanterS in points. If only
they can keep the ball in their
possession long enough on the
floor.
In this connection, maybe Tech
will be able to turn in some COM
work as the team pos
sesseS several clever and accurate
shots as does Central, namely,
Bernie Reichardt, Waverly Wheeler
and Reds DAILY, the latter devel-
oping fast.
Because of all these ideas
held by Coach Artie Boyd and
his Techmen, any sort Of bat
lie against Central will bring
about the return of that enthu-
siasm which has been lacking
since the start of play. Janu- |
ary 6. If it can happen, the Sc
ries will be another Of those pal
oitating affairs which yearly offer |
the scholastic public plenty Of en-
,ertainment, not to mention excel
ent basketball play.
