Quarterback LOST
Through Injuries

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. Is. U.R)-
Stanford University's Three Mus
keteers, the backfield combination
which carried the Cardinals to two
western championships, were parted
prematurely today by serious injury
to the back who was the balance
wheel of the trio.
Doctors said Frank Alustiza, the
quarterback of the Stanford varsity
team which twice represented the
west in the Rose Bowl at Pasadena
would not play again this season,
perhaps never.
Vision Impaired
He has a definite impairment of
vision, the result of an injury in last
Saturdays game in which U.CL.A.
scored the first victory any coast
eleven has registered over Stanford
since early in 1888.
The injury removes from the foot
ball picture a player whose perform
ance was more appreciated by his
teammates than by the general
public.
Bobby Grayson, fullback and pow
erhouse of Stanfords trio, was chos-
en- All-American by most pickers
last year. Robert (Bones) Hamil

on the football players All-Ameri-
can team in preference to Grayson.
But it remained for Stanford's
varsity to honor the third of the
Musketee-s. The team at the end
Of last season picked Alustiza as
the most valuable member" of the
squad.
All Around Man
He was the kicker whose long
punts took the pressure off the de-
fense when the opponents were
crowding. He was the passer, and
it was his 40-yard toss that won the
1888 game from University of Cali
fornia.
His blocking cleared the path over
which GraySon and Hamilton went
to the touchdoWns which in 1888
and 1884 carried Stanford to the
Pacific coast conference champion
ship and won the selection as west
ern representatives in the Tourna-
ment OF Roses classic.

last Friday. According to these
figures both valley teams will be
favored over their visitors. Ca
lexico should be master of the
situation Thursday and Holtville
ought not to have too much
trouble with its guests Friday.
Close Contest
A closer contest should be
enjoyed when the two valley Jun
ior colleges tangle for the first
time this year with the Brawley
crew slightly favored.
Change Arabs
Coach r. r. Taylor started YES
terday to tear into his squad to
find out what makes it run-or
not run. Many changes both in the
line and the backfield are antici-
pated, he said, after witnessing the
drills.
Timing For Calexico
On the border, Coach Ed Cow
lngton is working to perfect his
squad to function in unison. He is
laboring hard with the Bulldogs
passing attack which will probably
be the strongest of any team in
the valley.
Speed For HoltviIIe
Coach Walker is Stressing speed

else and believes this will be the
vikings biggest threat.

Although it was originally be-
lieved that all high school teams

Covington of CaleXico and Coach
Noval Walker of Holtville have
completed arrangements for games

that both Saint Augustine and
Herbert Hoover have both perform

section.
Taking a hypothetical case of an
industrial estate in which the assets
were not in liquid form, Representa-

allowing the owner Of an estate to
take out personal insurance. the pro-
ceeds from which could be applied,

inheritance tax levy.

Three Cases Compared.
Turning to the matter of inequitable
results, Alvord compared three hypo-
thetical cases. His illustration follows
Assume three corporations with the
same amount of capital, with plants
built at the same time and having the
same volume of business, reporting
identical incomes representing only
reasonable profits (after taxes are de-
ducted on the capital invested.
Company A was financed in part
through the sale of 100000 of bonds
1t originally sold 100000 of preferred
stock. BY paying only moderate divi-
dends it has been possible to retire the
preferred stock out of earnings, leav-
ing only common shares and bonds

ton policy has been followed. Five
hundred thousand dollars appeared to
the management to be fair valuation
of the corporations capital assets, and
this amount was declared as the value
of capital stock for tax purposes. This
company will be required to pay q
capital stock tax of $500 and an ex-
cess profits tax of $14,750.
Earnings Paid Out.
Company B was financed entirely
through the sale of common and pre-
ferred shares, all Of which remain

be abolished in seven years, still re-
mains to be tackled by the conferees

Adua Closed to Troops.
Emperor Halle Selassie has refused
permission to his warriors to fore
gather in the vicinity Of Adua, where
an Italian expedition was crushed 40
years ago.
Authoritative sources expressed be-
lief today that the King Of Kings,
realizing Adua probably would be
Italy'S first goal, may decide not to
defend it forcefully, but to use puni-
tive surprise attacks elsewhere.
This belief was based on reports
that Halle Selassie discussed with his
chiefs recently concentration Of his
forces on the Italian Somaliland
front, so that if war should come,
they could swoop into the apparently
slightly defended area.
Unconfrmed reports said the Ital-
ians would be allowed to take Adua
and to advance into deep Northern
Ethiopia, but that when they were
far from their bases in unmapped
country the EthiopianS would try to
cut them off and demoralize them

the stock appeared to be $1,000,000
and this amount was reported as the

poses. This corporation will be re-
quired to pay a capital stock tax of
81 900 and an excess profits tax of
$4,000.
Company C was bought out prior
to 1888 by a holding corporation
which paid substantial sum for the
going concern value, reflected in a
large item for good will which had
been capitalized. The company de-
clared the value of its capital stock
for tax purposes at 81, 100000. It will
consequently be required to pay cap
ttal stock tax of $500 and an ex-
cess profits tax of $500.
