Exactly twenty years after the

While fighting thus far pre-

nevertheless the seriousness of
the situation is very evident with
Premier Mussolini having a vast
army of fifty-thousand soldiers
stationed right at the border line

Mussolini has made an open

acting as protectorate in the

Many of the other larger powers
of Europe have entered into great
speculation over the situation as
now prevails in Austrian territory,
with scattered fighting reported

minor nature.
Recent statistics compiled rela-

Administration VIII Abandon
Certain Practices Considered
Distasteful To Congress Unit
Many Leaders Devising
Way To Bring About
New Rules Pertaining
To Proceedings
ny Associated Pre.sD

(By Associated Pressl
WASHINGTON, July 31.-Ad-
ministration leaders are quietly
going about the task of devising
some scheme to clamp down on
recalcitrant members Of the house
in the next congress.
They're reluctant to discuss
what course they will take to ae-
eomPlish their purpose. but there
is general agreement among them
that something must be done TO
prevent repetition of the way the
administration was bedevilled at
times in the last congress.
Thought is concentrated prin-
cipally on a house vehicle known
as the discharge rule-the provi-
sion which permits las members
to force a vote on any bill.
War has been declared openly
on this rule by administration
leaders and an effort will be made
either to kill it or extract some of
it's teeth.
They've had enough Of il.
Showdown Votes Unwanted
No less than 81 motions 20 dis
charge committees from further
consideration of bills were filed
in the house during the last con-
gress. Of these, six were entered
on the calendar of such motions
while the 6ther rs did nos Tt.resge
sufficient number Of signatures.
Of the six petitions which re-
ceived the required las signatures
two prevailed and the other four
remained on the discharge calen-
dar as the session ended.
The leaders will be satisfied N
they can force revision Of the
rule in the next congress requiring
at least One-half Of the house
membership of ass to sign a petit
ton to force a vote. II they ave
able to accomplish this they be-
lieve they can keep the situation
in hand.
There IS no disposition on their
part to run the. risk IN the
seventy-fOurth congress. when the
job of translating much OF the
present emergency legislation IN
to permanent law will be at

showdown votes which were
forced upon them in the seventy

Over Confident Start
The showing of Hardell's team
is now history. An over-confident
collection of warriors lined-up
against Eastern in the opening
game of the season. The final
score ended in a 0-to-0 deadlock
because Eastern had pointed for
the contest and played to unfore-
seen heights.
The next game, however, saw
the mighty Techman come back
with a vengeance. Central was
defeated and defeated by one of
the most one-sided margins a Mt.
Pleasant Eleven has suffered in
years. The score was As to 0.
This victory was indeed a sweet
'bit" for Hardell and his lads.
For in 1888, Central won this
particular contest, Z to 0
Lads Anxious
Then came the Western game.
Hardell's boys" were as anxious
to win that contest as if absolute
life and death depended on it..
They went into battle keyed up
to extraordinary pitch. They
wanted to win and they played
hard to turn the trick.
An equally high-pitched West
ern eleven also went into action
keyed up on account of being
tied with Tech for first place in
the race, also on account OF
standing a fair chance OF possibly
upsetting the heavily favored
Manuel Trainers.
What happened in that contest
is history too. A near riot ended
the game when overzealous per-
formers from both teams became
mixed up in the swinging OF
fists. The crowd joined in with
the result the field was turned
into a turmoil before order was
restored.
ALL Over Now
Today, the whole thing is over.
The remainder of the series has
been cancelled. No more games
are ahead to give both the play
ers and spectators their annual
high school football thrill. And
to top it off, Tech is deprived Of
regaining a championship it lost
to Central in 1888.
