MATTER OF MONEY MAY HALT NAMING
 OF ALEXANDER
Waterbury Man Is We'll Satisfied at Rochester;
 Grads Seek Aid

Storrs, March 30-Still driving toward their goal of reorganization of athletics at their Alma Meter, the executive committee of the alumni of Connecticut State Col lege held a meeting at the City Club last night, presumably to prepare a resolution requesting the board of trustees for permission to lay the plans for the changes be- fore them. Although Edward L.. Newmaker, president of the Alumni Association, stated that the committee had nothing for publication" no change in plans has yet been announced and it is believed that the alumni and their representatives are still firm in their stadn upon reorgan- ization-even to their intention of securing some official consider ation by the board of trustees.
 While the next step of the ex- ecutive committee is to the stud- ents and graduates at large, more or less a matter of conjecture, many >are convinced that action will be forthcoming perhaps, even in the form of the proposed reso- tAloI e1 opOSlAA AAASSS- ing of the board of trustees may be held prior to the next regular session which is scheduled for April IS at Storrs-and that the proposed reorganization will be finally effected.
 While the proposed reorgani- zaton of athletics would include the installation of Louis Alexan- der, Connecticut State alumnus ond former coach, and now at Rochester University, Rochester, N. Y., it is now generally known that the popular Alexander could not without some difficulty be whisked overnight from his posi- tion at Rochester, where he stat ed in telephone conversation last night, "everything's fine" and he has found no cause at all for dis satisfaction.
 While the alumni are pushing their reorganization project AL exander prefers to remain non- committal although it is popular ly supposed that, if he should re- ceive an offer which would bring him substantial professional ad" vancement, he would consider the post at his Alma Mater.
 Until-and if-a bona fide offer is made, he will have no com ment on the possibility of his transferring to Connecticut State. It is thought probable, however, that the alumni, who are banded solid1y upon his installation and have made his appointment one of the most urgent points in their proposal for changes, will con- tinue their firm support of him as the first-to- o-be-considered can- didate for head coach in football, basketball, and baseball, and fac- ulty athletic director.
 Some alumni admit the pres- ence of serious difficulty in their fight for the installation of Alex ander. Salary may be a much mooted point in the winning Of official approval, it is thought, and some fear that the amount needed to lure Alexander from his ell-established position at Rochester will be prohibitive.
 There is little doubt that Alex ander, who held various coaching positions at State College fol eight years, and is graduate Of the Columbia University coaching school, is less fitted than any other State College alumnus for the position of head coach at StOrrS,

WON'T QUIT RING FOR FIVE YEARS,
 SAYS LOUCHRAN
BY STUART CAMERON United Press Sports Editor

New York UP).-Just why Tommy Loughran doesn't quit box ing for good and all is something that nobody but Thomas Patrick himself can explain. He has, how ever, plenty of friends who wish he'd get out of the game that has made his name known the world over, Tommy is through and there are smart boxing men who Will ln- sist he's been through for years.
 But Tommy has no idea of quit ting. "I'm going on for at least five years more," he says. "I'm not like 8 lot of other boxers you know. l don't booze-have never taken a drink. I don't smoke have never tasted tobacco. l don't chase round either."
 Destiny?
 As Tommy why he insists on going on and he'll tell you in his pleasant Irish voice that he feels ''destined" to win the worlds heavyweight championship. He felt this way before he met Primo Camera, and after that setback was scored, he talked more along the same line. ,.
 II can't explain just what it is," Tommy said. "But inside me somew where I have. and for some time have had an almost over- whelming feeling that l am sup posed to be champion.

ROOSEVELT READY FOR THE FL0RDIDA FISHING SEASON

Miami, March 3O.-The bril- liant parade of sports celebrities which has swept across field and stream here this winter now turns out to be only an advance guard of honor for Americas No l sportsman, Franklin D. Roosevelt of the White House, Washington, D. c.
 For more than four months the boys and girls have been filing past the Florida sports reviewing stand, splendid regiments of crack warriors gathered here to do bat tie on tee and green, on tennis court, in swimming pool and on motorboat race course, on the turf, in the air and in the boxing ring. But nothing has stirred local cir cles like the advent of President Roosevelt who, making a pill grimmage here to try his hand at deep-sea sport, has enlisted in the ranks of the anglers.
 The presidents fishing party aboard Vincent Astor's yacht, Nourmahal, leads the vanguard of the spring and summer Florida sports cavalcade. Local fishing experts prophecy a big .finny har- vest for the president and those in his wake, for catch of a 2O5- pound tarpon here on March 18th. announced opening of the season for these prize battlers almost a month in advance of the customary date.
 Meantime, the sailfish are rum ming strong, and the president may find his hook snatched by bonita, amberjack, dolphin, or barracuda.
 The 1933-34 Florida fishing bri- gade, to which President Roosevelt is allying himself, has already in- cluded Mrs Oliver c. Grinnell, the leading fisherwoman of the Atlan- tic coast; John Mahony, foremost sailfisherman of the Florida wa ters; and Lynn Rogue Hunt, win ner of the sailfish championship of the National Anglers tourna- ment at the Key Largo Anglers club.
 And while the nations foremost angler is trolling off shore, mem- bers of his entourage have set up vacation headquarters at the Mi ami Biltmore, where Marvin Me- Intyre, one of the presidents sec- retaries, and robust troop or White House newspapermen are joining the big parade of sports enthusiasts set in motion last fall by Colonel Henry l.. Doherty and his Florida Year Round clubs.
 These landlubbers are golfing over fairways graced by Johnny Goodman, the national open cham pion; Gene Sarazen, the national professional champion, Denny Shute, the British open champion, and a host of other stars. On the tennis courts they are volleying and smashing where Frank Shields. the countrys No 1 netman, and George Lott the Davis Cup veter- an, worked out early this year.
 Lenore Night, the worlds fore- most free-style swimmer, Rather inc Rawls, the greatest all-around mermaid, and Ralph Flanagan and Leonard Spence, the record -holding mermen, beat them into the Flor ida swim this season but these late season official Washington tourists are in there trying any, how. ---.-

 AT NEW HAVEN

New Haven, March 30.-Abe Coleman, little Hebrew Hercules, will face Dick "Bulr' Martin, Tren- ton Terror, in the main event of Promoter Sam Siegeps all-star wrestling card at the Arena here on next Tuesday night, April 3. The match will be best two out of three falylys to finish.
 Martin, leading ''bad man" of the mat, will be making his first local appearance in more than three months. The last time that the "Bull' wrestled here, he got a four-stitch gash inside of his mouth from the fists and feet of Big Jim Clinstock.

is due to the way they abuse their bodies. You hear about punch drunks.' Why, they're not that at all. They're washed up ahead of time by eXcesses of many sorts, some of which bring them ail- ments they'll never shake off. Not so Tommy Loughran. I've lived clean and I want to show the world that that sort of living can give a man with the proper phy- sique as many years in the ring as he cares to have"
 Tommy may be right in all his views but few will give him as much as an outside chance to win the title, especially since Camera seems certain to be champion for years to come. Tommy was in his best possible condition when he faced Camera at Miami, and only by a near miracle did he miss falling before the Italian giant. All credit is due Tommy for stav- ing off Camera, who had trained only half-heartedly and who came into the ring slowed to a walk by fully ten pounds of excess weight.
 Broke?
 There are those who think the need of gold drives Tommy on- ward. He won't admit that al- though it's generally believed the small fortune Tommy once had tucked away has been wiped out by unfortunate investments.
 The writer has talked for hours with Tommy, one of the most likeable men the boxing game has ever known, and if he was to se- lect the one big reason for Tom. my's insistence on going on 1t would be Loughran's love of the limelight. No man today gets a greater kick out of being recog- nized in crowd than does Loughran. He's had this public acclaim for years now and he hates to give it up.

Whether the circuit, which will be known as the Northwesterri league, will be composed of six or eight clubs, will be decided at next weeks meeting when franchises will be awarded.
 Hapgood named six cities he re- garded as definitely certain" to have teams in the league. They were, Springfield, Worcester, and Lowell, Mas; Hartford, Conn.,; Manchester and Nashua, N. H. Three others, Lynn and New Bed- ford, Mass, and Woonsocket, R. I.s he regarded as additional possible ities.
 No Connections
 "This new league should not be regarded as an outgrowth Of any of the recent leagues that have operated in this territory" Hap good said. "It will be brand new, not only in name but in personnel, and it is being sponsored by the National association itself, which has long felt that a high-class league could be successfully oper- ated in this section.
 On the Line
 "Every club will be required to post a substantial bond," he said, ITO guarantee that the club will finish the season, thereby assuring the financial stability that has too frequently been lacking in the past"
 Tentative plans are to have the playing season open about the middle of May, and close not later than a week after Labor day.

ACID TEST FOR NRA

There has been heated but never
theless healthy discussion of the National
Recovery Administration since the pub
LEGATION of the barrow report.
As the NRA was founded on new and
untried economic theories it is not surpris-
ing that there have been many inconsis-
tencies in its operation. In Theodore
Roosevelt's time there were slogans about
trust busting" Today the Sherman anti
trust law is in moth balls. If the NRA
withstands the acid test to which it is be-
ing subjected it will be modified.
The barrow report is constructive and
its criticisms point out remedies to
strengthen the NRA program. General
johnson has exploded and shown his tenn
per, as usual. General Counsel Donald
Richberg has issued Incorporate state
ments against the authors of the Darrow
report
Evidently there is too much truth in
the charge that some of the johnson organ
ization think "they own the NRA."
Washington expects there will be re-
organization of the NRA this summer, and
that the changes will serve to correct many
defects that exist in the set-up.
There is nothing to be disturbed about
i'm the present turmoil.

THE TAXPAYERS PAY

Communities which are considering
adventures" in the municipal light and
power business might find facts concern
ing the Seattle, Wash, power plant of in
terest.
According to a bulletin issued by the
Associated Industries of Oklahoma, the
plant, which is tax-free, did $4,000 bust
ness in 1932-and Melted only $87 900. 1t
has bonded indebtedness now of $780,
100000. and at the present rate of income
will require 1858 years to become debt free.
About twenty per cent of the plant S
total income must be dug up annually by
Seattle taxpayers, paying, from their city
general fund, around ST 900, 600 for street
and public building lighting and similar
municipal uses
The plant cost $50, 033, 00O-and, ac-
cording to engineering estimates, couldn't
be sold today for 20 per cent of that. The
city issued $42,339, 900 in bonds against
the property-and has been able to re-
deem only So, 900 Of them in thirty
years.
There's nothing unusual about this
story, says the Industrial News Review.
Hundreds of such enterprises, some smaller
and some larger, have had a similar expert
ence. And that's the reason why, in the
face of strong political pressure in favor of
municipal ownership, scores of towns have
recently defeated proposals to go into the
power business.

sELF-coNTRoL FOR SMALL BUSINESS

There is an all-round sigh of relief
since the government modified its NRA
policy with regard to the small and in
dividuaistic service industries. It has be-
come clear that the government cannot
regulate all industry. The code system
is not so well adapted to small and varied
interests as to large and simple oness Per-
sonal service groups like the BARRIERS, dry
cleaners, shoe repairers, garage operators
and billiard parlors would sbetter adj
minister their own codes, if they want
them, than clutter up the federal adj
ministration. This restoration of full self
government to such trade groups should be
beneficial
Cut-throat competition is no more de-
sirable now than it ever was. If main
tenance of fair prices, hours, and pay,
avoidance of child labor. and other re-
forms. are good for big industry and i'm
personal service. they are presumably good
for little industry and personal service. But
their supervision in the latter case belongs
more properly to the individuals and I'm
terests concerned. They can deal with
petty attractions beneath the dignity of the
United States government to NEEDLE with.
The restoration of autonomy to seven
of these trade groups sets good precedent
and starts a useful experiment. We shall
see how well this modified, purely
voluntary form of NRA will work.
