A constant guard was main
tained today over Mrs. Frances Ro-
binSon, wife of Mrs. Alice Speed

ton and her jailers feared she
might attempt to end her life.
The pairing knife was found in
her purse when she was placed in
the Liberty Street Jail after her ar
raignment before a United States
commissioner on kidnapping charges.
Discovery CT the knife by Jailer
Morton j. Conners led to an order
for the stationing Of two federal

ARABS POINT
FOR PHOENIX

Jaycee Arabs yesterday went
through a hot serimmage with the
high school in a test practice to dis
cover weakness and strength in pre-
paration for the game with Phoenix
here Saturday.
Defense proved strong as a rock,
but offense failed to click Passing
offense, however, looks better, with
a corresponding weakness in pass
defense, which needs considerable
strengthening if the boys expect to
do themselves proud in the coming
fray. Phoenix boasts a stronger
team this year, and the Arabs have
been considerably weakened by less
of Bob Elliott, who has dropped
school, according to latest advices
Coach r. R. Taylor will try to fine
a kicker to replace Elliott between
today and Saturday.
More tackling and blocking are
scheduled for today and tomorrow
The chances for a win against
Phoenix do not look good, but, true
to form. the Arabs will not give
up hope until the final whistle j;
blown.

GAEL COACH
SIDES Fps
ON FUMbLES
BY STUART CAMERON
United Press Sports Editor

NEW YORK. October l8. - Ed
ward Patrick (Slip) Madigan, didn't
say yes and he didn't say no. The
head man of the St Marys foot
ball entourage only grinned when
questioned concerning his clubs
celebrated tumble touchdown play.
In case you haven't been keeping
up on your football it should be
pointed out that st. Mary's, in re
cent years, has won several games
by recovering its own fumbles and
converting them into touchdownS.
In fact, this special sort of football
lightning has struck so often in the
same place that the boys are begin
ming TO wonder if there is not some
malice aforethought in connection
with them.
Slip, who has brought his GaelS
here from the far west coast for the
annual game with Fordham, was
asked if he expected to use the fun
BILE play against the Rams.
That's considerable question"
Slip replied 1T implies we fumbled
deliberately"
Don't youP"
"One of footballs best fundamen-
tails is to follow the ball. You have
TO follow the ball no matter which
side has it."
Then you wouldn't go so far as
to say you don't instruct your boys
to tumble deliberately"
Well here's the way il is. I'll ad
init we've won some games on fun
bles. Maybe we'll win that way
against Fordham on Saturday. But
I do know that not all of these plays
have been deliberate. Look at the
last one we won that way-Califor-
MIA. We'd worked the ball all the
way to the two yard line. We fun
bled and recovered for the touch
down that beat Cal. Well, We Ger
tainly wouldn't have fumbled deli
berately in that maze OF players. We
were trying to plunge over and
would certainly have plunged again
if we had missed the first time.
Anyway you look at it its a
dangerous play and there would be
nothing unethical If quarterback
did deliberately toss the ball into the
air or drop it, giving everybody a
free shot at it."
The st. Mary's varsity arrived yes
terday on special train. The squad
of 81 was accompanied by cheer
ing section of 127 rooters. A two
hour signal and dummy scrimmage
drill was held late yesterday, and
another was planned today.

The Martello Tower

The name Martello is supposed to
be derived from that of a fort on Cape
Mortella, Corsica, which was captured
in 1894 by a British naval force after
having put up very gallant fight
against a combined sea and land at
tack. This incident led to a firm be-
lief in the strength of such towers, and
resulted In their erection along the
shores of England. especially in the
South and East, says the Montreal
Herald. Each one consists Of a small
circular tower of solid masonry, two
stories high and containing vaulted
rooms. In the lower part stores were
kept; the upper portion was intended
for troops, and the whole building was
used as means of defense. 1t was
often surrounded by a ditch, and the
only way of access was by a ladder
which connected with a door about 20
feet above the ground. There was u.s.
ually small platform at the top with
sufficient room for two or three guns
to fire over the surrounding parapet.
The chief defect the towers had was
against vertical fire. so quite obvious
ly they would be of little use today
against aircraft.
