WASHINGTON, Feb. 90. (UP).
The house Of representatives to-
day will perform the last legis-
lative act necessary TO Sumblt
18th amendment repeal back to
the states for battle over rati-
fication that will be closely con-
tested at every point by the drys.
House approval of the repeal
amendment already passed by
the senate was predicted last
night by Democratic Leader
Henry 4. Rainey. He said a fl
nal check yesterday showed Eat
least" 20 votes more than the
necessary two-thirds will be
counted today for resubmission.
1t then will devolve upon Secre-
tary of State Henry L. Stimson
to certify the congressional ac-
ton formally to state governors.
The fight will begin imme-
diately afterward in Al state leg
islatures now in session over the
preparatory issue Of setting up
state conventions. Bills for this
hitherto untried convention rati-
fication machinery now are pend
ing in half a dozen states.
"Wets' will center their drive
upon the eastern tier of states
long antagonistic to the prohibit
ton law, pressing for a series of
quick strokes that will give them
the psychological advantage. Drys
lave selected a group of 1G west
ern and southern states as ter
ritory they will seek to hold.
They need hold only Is to pre-
vent ratification. Seven years is
the limit of the test.
The legislatures must set up
these conventions. Though al
legislatures now are in session,
with two more to sit in the early
spring and summer, and though
bills are pending in several,
there are many details to be
worked out which may take time.
Drys, in some instances, have
the upper hand III legislatures
where rural districts have larger
representation than the city dis
tricts. In such cases, it will be
the strategy of drys to have con-
vention delegates chosen on the
same basis. This will percipitate
bitter fight with the anti-pro-
hibitionists.
There remains the question of
election of delegates, even after
the method is defined. Here the
time element enters to prevent
any swift ratification. Unless a
special election is held, dele
gates to the conventions can not
be chosen until the regular cleo
tions two years hence. Dry lead
ers consider it highly unlikely,
especially in middlewestern and
southern dry states where farm
distress is acute, that legisla-
lures would vote money for spe-
cial elections to consider pro-
hibition repeal.
The houses final act today
will be swift. The senate resolu-
ton will be brought up under
suspension Of rules with only 40
minutes debate permitted.

bitterly fought proposals--the alb

cents per hundredweight. The bill
is a special order for Wednesday,.
1t was reported unfavorably. but
was later taken from the unfa-
vorable calendar. Numerous other
bills are on the senate calendar
for third reading.
The senate is expected to dis
pose of many of its more contro-
versial bills while the house is
taking up the revenue bill. How
ever, there are also several major
bills now on the house calendar,
including the committee substitute
bill doing away with the second
primary. and the bill sponsored by
the state board of elections which
is designed to effect a saving Of
$4,000 in election and primary
costs.
The revamped bill substituting
a public utilities commissioners
and two associate commissioners
for the present three-member cor
poration commission is expected
to pass the senate by a comforta-
bic margin, as votes on this meas
ure in its earlier forms, have al

By GAYLE TALBOT GA. P. Spors.s Writer

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-A speedy versatile attack, directed by one of the smartest field generals in the land and a sturdy defense are the hallmarks of Lou Little's Columbia University Lions, chosen to repre- sent the east against Stanford in the Rose Bowl on New Years Day.
 Not a great eleven in the strict est sense of the word, the scholar ly Lions, nevertheless, have stamp ed themselves through trying schedule as a fighting. cohesive unit that can be counted upon to give any opponent a battle as long as it's reserves hold out
 First Team Darb
 Their one real weakness, eastern critics believe, lies in the shortage of high class substitutes. Little's starting lineup consists of eleven real football players They make up a smooth. stylish team that is a treat to watch. But when one of tham goes out-any one-the Lions are just mite less effective
 If they were certain that the Morningside Heights crew could face Stanford for four quarters

with only about two substitutions, has good reserve strength it's pure velvet.
 In the four years Little has been coaching at the school, the Lions show a record of 26 victories and seven defeats and two ties. They have lost only one game in each of the last three seasons. Princetons powerful young team spoiled an otherwise perfect record for this season with 20 to 0 defeat back in October. The Lions have claimed ever since that it was their off day, that the Tigers couldn't do it again to save their lives, and majority of the sections experts have been inclined to agree.
 Have Own System
 The Lions are partial to none of the so-called football systems. Little, former University of Penn sylvania star, has one of his very own, a sort of football melange. His teams take turns using the sin gle wingback, punt and any other formation that comes to Lous fer tile mind They employ both a balanced and unbalanced line. and they have probably the widest repertoire of plays in the east. Their defense always is sound.
 One distinguishing feature of the Lions is their 'muddle- -huddle," or squirre1-cage method of calling sig nals. They come out of a huddle milling in every direction with no apparent rhyme nor reason,

suddenly jumping into their places just before the ball is snapped. It's supposed to confuse the opposition, and chances are it does.
 Two Outstanding Men
 Cliff Montgomery, great triple threat quarterback, and Red" Mat al, brilliant end, possibly are the outstanding members of the 1883 Lion machine. Little recently de- clared the dazzling Montgomery compared with any back he had ever seen, and he credits Natal largely for the powerful surge of Columbia after it's loss to Prince ton.
 Al Barabas, a 190-pound sopho- more, and Ed Brominski are the teams starting ha1fbacks, with Bill Nevel at fullback Barabas, declar- ed by a coach in the National pro- fessional league to be the finest looking back in the east, divides the bal1-carrying and passing with Montgomery.
 Owen Mcdowell holds down the opposite wing from Natal, with Joe Ferrara and Paul Jackal at tackles, Jack Migliore and Steve Dzamba at guards and Newt Wild CT, a field goal specialist, at cen ter.
