 Grcasing the Chutes
 It has taken Sne effervescent Martin exactly year to shake off the reaction of misfortune that pursued him after his dramatic performance against the Athletics.
 In fact, I have a distinct recol- lection of the way this reaction set in, following the fifth game of Ithe 1881 series and Martins return to St. Louis as. a conquering hero The Cards were leading, games to P.
 The night before the sixth game Martin was dined and feted. I can see the Wild Horse yet, embar- rassed, dazzled, chewing a big cigar from which he had neglected to remove the wrapper. The chutes were being greased in the custom ary manner for a new sporting idol.
 The next day at the park, ad- mirers flocked around to present flowers, cactus bats and shotguns to the little outfielder. When he faced Lefty Grove and George Earnshaw in the remaining two games Pepper was still in a daze. He went hitless, but the Cards won the final game, anyway, and the glorious reflection of his ex- ploits was still bright.

The reason they have held back,
they said, was because no wine
statesmen have solicited them, they
do not know how much the wine
will cost and how much they would
have to charge by the drink.
There was little prospect that to-
night would be marked by any par
ticular jubilation over repeal, If
night club, hotel and club reserVa-
lions could be taken as an indi-
cation.
Operators of the Tally Ho Club
at the Antlers and the Ratheskeller

in reservations and said they were

thing.
Managers of both resorts, however,
expected large crowds Saturday
night. They said they had made
no effort to stock wines because Of
uncertainty as to the state regula-
lions and the delay in their is

before the university chapter of

Faculty critics particularly were
indignant over Professor Hufferd's
dismissal because they felt that the
action indicated they, too, were in
a position of being discharged
without warning. Professor HUFF
ferd's dismissal, they pointed out,
came at such a time that he had
no opportunity to obtain a job for
the next term.
Privileges of the faculty meeting
in an administrative capacity were
banned by the president last year
when he reorganized the faculty.
In those meetings, the faculty had
an opportunity to air their views
and criticisms of university policies.
Now, any criticism must be pre-
sented in department meetings and
relayed to a joint meeting of de-
partment heads and administrative
officers.
It has been pointed out by critics
that the entire control of the uni
versity rests with the president and
a board of deans, two Of whom had
been severely criticized by student
body publications previously.
In his report to the trustees, Jan.
II, 1888, DR.. Oman, referring to
the faculty. asked opportunity for

tually honest men and women. This

Of the professors dismissed last June
under a reduced budget had at some
time criticised administration poll

The failure of the university to
provide contracts last June was
termed as placing the faculty in
a precarious economic position.
DR.. Oxnam's actual views on ad-
ministration, say critics, are includ-
ed in the same report when he refers
to governmental trend of in
creasing importance of executive
leadership, as against the earlier
confidence in the balance of govern
mental powers, and the strengthen

High whisky prices and a short
age of both whisky and wine were
responsible. Local shortage of the
whisky is due to a national short
age, it was explained.
Shortage of the wine supply was
blamed on the state administration
for it's delay in issuing regulations
for handling all types of liquor.
Why should we stock up on
wines when we didn't know until
the last minute who would be
allowed to handle it" was the re-
action of drug store operators.
Prices Are PrOhibitive
Several downtown drug stores re-
ported early today they had no wine
at all in stock and the few stores
that did have it quoted prices a
little too prohibitive for large-scale
drinking
Majority of the available wine is
of 20 per cent alcoholic content and
can be drunk on the premises.
Whisky, the state regulations pro-
vide, can be bought only in bottles
and must be consumed off the
premises.
Flouting of the state regulations
started early with downtown bars
serving highballs at 20 cents
drink. 1t was the usual highball
of one jigger of bourbon fortified
with ginger ale or water, about four
ounces in all.
Expect Stronger Beer
Indianapolis beer importers, John
Burke and William H. Clauer, said
they had ordered higher content
beer and expect shipments tomor-
row.
Most of the new beer, on which
there now is no alcoholic limit, will
be from Az to per cent.
1--WE expect a big increase in beer
drinking, now that we don't have
to serve 'slop,'" chorused operators
of beer rooms.
SO far, few of them have made
arrangements to serve wine, as per-
mitted under the state regulations.

Fired Without Warning,
De PdulU Teacher Says

Current Investigations by the
powerful American Association of
University Professors, instituted to
uncover alleged ''czaristic" methods

once before the administration had
attempted to discharge Professor
Hufferd.
Studying in Europe, the professor
received a letter stating that his
services no longer were required. He
had had no indication of this de-
cision while he was on the campus,
it is claimed. Professor Hufferd re-
ferred to his contract in an ex-
change Of correspondence and was
reinStated.
Professor Hufferd has had noted
career as a chemist and was called
to De Paw in 1920. He holds the
highest academic rank, that of Phi.

A delay in Utahs formal repeal
vote today disrupted Americas pro-
gram for celebration of the end Of
prohibition.
At Salt Lake City, delegates to
the Utah convention decided to hold
off the vote until about p. m. On
dianapolis time). 1t had been
scheduled for mid afternoon, i'm
mediately after the thirty-fourth
and thirty-f1fth states-Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio-voted.
The reason for the delay was
said to be two fold: A desire to
make sure that Utah was the thir-
ty-SiXth state and q desire to have
speeches at the convention broad
cast at what was said to be a good
hour of the evening for radio lis
tenerS.
Meanwhile, comment on the delay
was widespread, vigorous and ad-
verse, for the most part. Hotel men,
restaurants, and scores of others in
large wet cities had made elaborate
plans for greeting repeal, which be-
comes effective the moment Utah
votes.
Chicago hotel men said the delay
would cost them thousands Of
dollars an hour. In New York,
Boston and other large cities the
repeal program was to be set off by
the flash from Utah and the delay
disrupted many plans.
