When your girl won't go out
with you after having bought a
whole new outfit of new clothes,
thought Leonard Weeks, SS. OF "a!
Abbott avenue, a negro, the best
thing to do is to take the clothes
to make sure that she won't hannt
them in someone else's company.
Leonard did just that when Pau
line Cooper, rs, of the same ad-
dress. also a negro, failed to keep
a date with him. The result was
that he was arrested for theft and
faced Judge Edward A. Mascolo IN
city court this morning.
The whole idea didn't turn out
SO well. for Judge Mascolo In the
course of the testimony ordered
the placing of statutory charges
against both Leonard and Pauline.
He gave a continuance of a month
on that count to both and gave
Leonard day to return Pauline's
finery.
Saturday, Pauline said, she
bought a whole new spring outfit,

Much to Admire Here

Thomas r. Barber, a representa-
tive of the Jersey Journal, has been

urday and Sunday, where he was
interviewed by a representative of

munity of about 100000 inhabi-

pleased with the appearance of
Waterbury. He made special men,
ton of the public park opposite
the Elton, the City Hall, Silas
Bronson library, the stores banking
establishments, churches and took
occasion to remark that our
streets were in excellent condition.
The Democrat reported tried to
draw Mr.. Barber out on the polit-
ical situation, but the most he
could get out of him on this ques-
ton was that Roosevelt is doing
good work and that as q result
there is marked improvement in
business in Jersey City and all over
the country.
Asked how he thought the gen.
eral appearance of Waterbury
compared with Jersey City, Bay
onne and other places in his state
he said that he did not believe in
making comparisons, adding that
all he cared to say on the subject
was that he was somewhat famil-
lar with the history of Waterbury,
especially with reference to the po-
sition it holds in the brass industry,
and now that he had looked IT,
over for the first time he was free
to state it is~a very nice, clean city
and bears unmistakable marks OF
good management.

Judge Mascolo pointed out that,

the amount didn't total $19., SO
Pauline guessed she'd made a mis-

Where, asked Counsel Leonard,

in the end zone, for a touch
down. He was a marvellous
passer, great kicker and fine
team general.
Leemans won a half post by
his all-season play. He starred
in every G. w. game. He out
gained the whole Tulsa team;
he outgained the whole Wander
bilt team; he outplayed the
whole Louisiana State backfield.
Until the last two games in the
mud, he had gained twice ali
the ground gained against G.
w. by seven opponents. He
was AlI-America if he played
with one of the "big" colleges.
Berries Second Best
Berries was the second-best
back to play Griff Field. His
twisting runs in the Virginia
game were illustrative Of his
play else where. He scored two
touchdowns and tossed the pass
that resulted in the third
against Virginia. There can
be no challenging his selection.
Clark, while comparatively
light, is marvellous tackler and
unexcelled blocker. He can
smash the line, getting tremen-
dous driving power. He can
kick, but like him best OF all
for his defensive play and
blocking play on offense.
So What?
Summary: Take a look at
tha first team line-six feet
across, smashing tackles. fast
guards, tall, swift ends. A
backfield to tickle a coach's
heart. I'd like to see Minnesota
or Pittsburgh or Alabama shove
that team around.
The greatest thrill I got all
the year from a single play on
Griff Field was Leemans' tackle
of Sullivan on G. WIS 8-yard
line, after the Louisiana back
had run 81 yards. Tuffy out
smarted three interferers, feint-
ing two to throw the blockers
off stride and out of position.
Then he dove between two
blockers to make a one-handed
tackle that sprawled Sullivan.
It was the greatest tackle I
have observed in tWenty-odd
years of football.
Sincerely,
THE MASKED MARVEL,
