WEST NOTTINGHAM ACADEMY

Touchfootball, sport which has
been played for years on sandlots
Street corners, and alleyways, has at
last stepped into the realms of or
ganized competition.
Getting its start in the Middle
West, this sport has jumped by leaps;
and bounds into the limelight of
many school athletic programs :
such is the case at West Nottingham
Academy.
A. the cessation of the Academy 8
regular varsity football season, this
form of intramural athletics took
place. The entire student body has
been divided up into seven teams
Each team has one or two varsity
boys, while the remainder OF the
team is composed of greenhorns and
youngsters of the Junior School.
The rules are simple. There are
only few deviations from the regu-
lar ruby type-''a touch" shall be
made with both hands without leav-
ing the feet, 20 yds. for first down
Ito encourage the popular passing
game, and to learn the feel of the
balD; Z points are awarded for a
touchdown on running play with
the chance for the extra point, six
points for touchdown on a pass
with the opportunity for conversion;
and forward pass may be thrown
anywhere behind the line of scrim-
mage.
With these few minor changes,
everyone is learning something
about the game down at West Not
tingham. The winners Of the two
round robin programs will play each
other for the championship of the
Academy, the winners to receive a
party given by Mr.. and Mrs. Stay
baugh.
Athletics for ALL" is the call
down at West Nottingham.
This type of sport with regard to
popular opinion, is one of the great
est Of health buildings, both mental
ly and physically and at the same
time cutting the chance for physical
injury to the minimum.
Due to the apparent popularity of
touch at West Nottingham, this
branch Of athletics perhaps is the
initial step on an intramural pro-
gram of several of many sports. a
feature which many colleges of today
are adopting.

ley, and Sheriff George Campbell OF
Imperial county today were re-
strained from interfering with a
free speech" meeting scheduled to
be held in BraWley tonight by SYM
pathizers of striking lettuce workers.
Federal Judge Frank H. Kerrigan
issued the restraining order. Yester-
day he had signed an order requir-
ing Cromer and Campbell to appear
in court within 20 days to show
cause why such restrainer should
not be issued.
The officials were ordered to ap-
pear Jan. 20 in San Diego before
Judge Kerrigan to show cause why
the injunctive order should not be
made permanent. Judge Kerrigan
went to San Diego today.
The order was sought by the Rev.
Clinton j. Taft and members OF
the American Civil Liberties union,
following a pronunciamento by
Brawley authorities and Capt. Frank
Oswalt, head of the state motor pa
troll detachment in Imperial Valley,
that the meeting could not be held.
The captain was quoted as having
said a federal restraining order
would make no difference; the
meeting will not be held.
At the same time, Capt. w. l..
Justin of the Los Angeles police
department revealed that several
thousand men were scheduled to
meet at the plaza here late today to
protest police procedure in the I'M
perial Valley strike.
The mass meeting was called by
the International Labor Defense,
the Trade Union Unity league, and
the Cannery and Agricultural Work
ers Independent union, Capt. justin
said.
A detachment of police was in
structed to mingle with the crowd,
but not to interfere with the protest
meeting uness an attempt was made
to march. Riot equipment and ra-
dio cars were being held in readl-
hess for emergency calls.

by Grover c. Johnson, attorney
whose name was signed to the doc
ment as petitioner.
Officials sued
Todays hearing on this writ was
continued from last Friday at which
time johnson failed to appear and
for that reason the hearing had to
be continued. At that time Judge
Thompson issued a bench warrant
issued for Johnson, ordering him to
appear in court yesterday morning
to answer a charge OF contempt of
court. Johnson, however, sent an
explanation to the court and stat
ed that he would be present for
the hearing on the petition this af-
terncon and the warrant was not
served on him.
Johnson yesterday filed suit In
San Bernardino against Sheriff
Campbell, District Attorney Heald,
Chief Cromer, Chief Cato Captain
OsWalt and others under John Doe
names, asking damages of $50,500
for false arrest and terrorizing him.
A habeas corpus petition in ia
yor of Clarence Lynch, Phoenix at

son on Thursday afternoon.
Criminal complaints against
Campbell, Cromer and several
John Does, were lodged yesterday
by Wirin with William F. Palmer,
assistant U. S. attorney charging
those named in the complaint with
violating the federal law which
makes it a felony for persons to
conspire to deprive citizens OF the
United States of their constitution
al rights. Wirin also asked for a
grand jury investigation of the Of
ficials named III the complaint. The
matter was turned over to the de-
partment of justice and agents from
that department are expected in the

the matter.
Wirin telegraphed the United
States marshal in San Diego last
night asking that federal officers
be sent TO the valley today to ar
rest all who might attempt to in
terfere with topight's meeting in
BraWley. He also sent a telegram to
Governor Rolph asking that the
states chief executive issue orders
for the protection of all who may
wish to be present at this meeting
and also that E. Raymond Cato be
ordered to protect it.

Hopkins.
CWA, Hopkins added, is receiving
10000 letters day. in protest
against terminating the civil works
program on May l.
Congress may be asked for $780,
100000 to continue the program
temporarily. Some in congress fav-
or a large appropriation Hopkins
also is expected to seek $500, ,O00, 900
for continuing relief work, although
he believes that in the spring,
farming, seasonal industries. and
the PWA, should absorb about S.
100000 of the 100000 persons now
on relief lists.
Approximately 100000 of the to-
tai were described as .floaters
having been unemployed in the
boom period of 1929.
Hopkins attributed his trouble
with grafters to the speed with
which the CWA was launched in
November to put 100000 persons
to work in 80 days.
LOS ANGELES, Jan. %. u.p) =
A virtual injunction against any
suspected CWA official or en-
ployee leaving the city today fore
shadowed wholesale arrests in the
current investigation of local CWA
operations.
Spurred on by Washington su-
periors, Pierson M. Hall, U. S. Dis
trict attorney, broadcast an unof-
ficial hold order with a warning
that any suspected persons who
sought to leave would be placed un-
der immediate arrest.
His order was accompanied by an
additional mandate to surrender all
CWA records. These, he said, will be
presented the federal grand jury
when it convenes February 7 for a
searching examination into charges
of CWA corruption and graft
Despite the denial of federal au-
thorities that officials might be af-
fected, rumors persisted that a sec
ond Shakeup in the county CWA
staff is impending. A first was pre-
cipitated two weeks ago after John
B. Elliott, Democratic leader and
close friend of President Roosevelt,
alleged gross miSmanagement.
Hall was given free rein to pro-
ceed by the department of justice in
Washington.
"The whole strength of the gcv-
ernment is back of this investiga-
tion,' he declared. He pledged "ab-
solute safety" to complaining wit
nesses, this apparently, in reply to
reports that one witness had re-
ceived several death threats.
Federal investigators announced
they have uncovered evidence point
ing to both petty and major graft"
Many CWA workers who earned less
than SIS week were being forced
to pay as high as SO cents day in

their jobs, it was said. Two women
were arrested last Saturday on SIM
