Look for Improved Defense.

NEXT to the varied and brilliant
~ attack displayed by the team
Saturday, Navy people are hap
piest over the fact that it had the
stamina to come back after being
steam-rollered in the first minutes of
the game, to win in the next three
periods. 1t is felt further that the
Navy defense found itself in that time
and will be stronger with each game.
Next to Berries, Bill Clark, stalwart
fullback, is hailed as the Navy's best
runner, adding many fine gains to
his brilliant punting and defensive
work against the Lions. Dick Pratt,
the Washington boy, and Tom King,
from Annapolis, also showed up well.
and it is felt that the trio now will
relieve Berries of so much of the
strain of advancing the ball.
A further matter of congratulate
is that the substitutes kept up the
standard of play far better than they
had done in any previous game. Su-
periority in reserves had much to do
with the victory, 1t is thought.

Another factor which may have
played a part in the somewhat sur

of judges bending backward to atone
for a wrong to MeCadon-is a report
that Wilson was a sick youngSter

Even Wilson, not given to alibing

to ask for postponement.
This report hardly comedies with
Wilson's rally in the latter stages after

with his precious lightweight title

with Tony Canzoneri and actually
forced Tony to "break ground"
at least a dozen times.
Petrolle says that Ross won't
answer the bell for the fourth
round if he comes" or Stands

In short, Petrolle wants to
trade punches. When he heard
that Ross said he had made Billy
back away in the last four rounds

was snorting mad.

WAR PHO 7 S
Parliament Opens With
Fascist Groups Making
Threat of Coup

TOKYO, Dec. 26.-While govern
ment crisis, strikes and peasant up
risings threaten japanese impe-
rialism, the annual session of its
parliament convened here today to
approve the most crushing war bud
get in the nations history. The
appropriations for army, navy and
air purposes amount to more than
1,000,0000OO yen ($228, 100000, and
were directly provoked by the lead
ing competition of war prepara-
tionS of American capitalism.
Navy spokesman insist on more
money in order to compete with the
unprecedented aggressive naval
program of the Roosevelt war gov
eminent, which recently sabotaged
the London Naval Conference in it's
attempts to continue the advan-
tageous Washington Treaty, a fact
which forced Japan's remuneration
of the pact.
At today's session the army as
serted that its attitude toward the
Soviet Union had not changed, and
demanded more funds with which
to follow up its frequent provoca-
tons and causing of incidents
along the Soviet Manchurian
border.
The japanese parliament is care
fully reckoning with the explosive
force of the rising resistance Of
the small farmers and peasants
against present miserable condi-
lions. In many districts, accord
ing to official government figures
30 per cent of the peasants in the
villages are literally starving.
Back-bench members of the Sci
yukat, the majority part, fright
ened and hoping to make political
capital out of the peasant situation
brought in proposal for a large
sum of money to be spent on farm
relief. These members are threaten
ing to upset the government if the
demands are not met. The gov
eminent, expecting a coup d'etat
by the military and naval fascist
groups II the money is given tt
farm relief instead of for war pre-
parations, refuses the demand.
