he can upon the alleged
agreement" between Representa-
tive Thomas L. Blanton D0.
Texas, and police officials on the
scheme to make Inspector Albert
J.. Headley assistant Superintend-
snt OF police.
The committee seeks to learn
e the Texas Representative
sought to use his influence with
the Commissioners to obtain the
promotion he is alleged to have
desired for Inspector Headley.
The committee yesterday heard
Major Ernest w. Brown, sIlperin-
tendent Of police, and Inspector
Headley. '...
Major Brown asserted the
agreement to which Representa-
tive Blanton referred in q letter
In which it was suggested that In.
Spector Thaddeus Bean was to re-
tire early this year as assistant
superintendent so that Inspector
? Headley could be given the place,
was not an agreement, so far as
he major Brown) was concerned.
Explains Use Of Word
The police chief told the com.
nnittee that he had used the word
agreement in o letter in which
he discussed the matter simply
because Representative Blantcn
had used that expression. He has
tened to add, however, that ne
merely had told the Represents
tive that he proposed to put In.
spector Headley IN the assistant
sUperintendent's place only when
Mr.. Bean voluntarily decided to
retire. >
He admitted that he and the
Texas Representative had dis
cussed the matter and that the
latter had voiced his interest in
MIR. Headley, but declared that the
fiery Texas legislator had not IN
fuenced him in any way.
Inspector Headley, who was
more harshly grilled, several times
became confused and was cr1tl'
eized soundly by members Of the
committee and its counsel Tor
"evading" the questions.
Admits Agreement
From him the committee drew
an admission that there had been
an agreement that he was to get
Beans place as assistant super
intendent when the latter retired.
Neither he nor the police chief.

Virtue Doesn't
Triumph When
HuSkieS Meet
Sonnenberg Takes Pep Out
of Olsen in Main Gc
at Armory.
BY TOM OCHILTREE

Gus Sonnenberg, one-time world
champion, has turned meanie.
Before 1900 frenzied members of the
break it off society" in the Armory
last night, he scored a hit as the
villain of wrestling drama, Beauty
and the Beast"
In fact, he was SO good they
booed him with gusto.
For 80 minutes he slugged and
gouged his blond opponent until
every one was in other.
Olson, former University of Min
nesota grid ace, was the beauty"
and he was, indeed, fine figure of
a man.
But virtue, this correspondent is
sorry to report, did not triumph.
After Sonnenberg landed with fly
ing tackle, Olson lost all interest in
the proceedings and shortly fell
asleep on the mat.
At the beginning of the fray,
Olson was full of vitality, and he
put dozen head scissors on "Dyna-
mite Gus" In fact, he had that
gent Laundering around like great
seal.
Three times Sonnenberg tried his
flying tackle, but every time the
shifty Swede got out of the way.
Then Olson really went to work and
softened Sonnenberg up with
Swedish version of the Irish whip.
Legs All Tangled
After a few full nelson's and head
scissors, both men got their feet SO
tangled up in the Indian death
lock" the referee had to separate
them.
When Sonnenberg came off the
ropes and butted Olson in the Stom-
ach. The time was % minutes.
After a 10-minute rest, both
answered the curtain for the Sec
ond set. This time Sonnenberg
floored his rival in 10 seconds, using
the same tactics.
In the opener, Jack Herman of
Detroit, was too easy for Big Boy
Davis, Columbus, o. Davis took the
first fall in Is minutes after betting
Jackie in the jaw and stomach with
his fist. A series of headlocks put
Herman away in two minutes of the
second session.
A pair of super dreadnaughts"
frolicked briefly in the other match.
Man Mountain Dean, he was the
one with the whiskers, put the chill
on Tiny Morgan by sitting down
heavily on that gents chest.
1t was tremendous sight to see
Dean, a 317-pound Georgian bounce
down on his 275-pound opponent.
Tiny Goes to Mountain
Tiny, using the same reasoning as
Mohammed, figured out that if the
Mountain wouldn't come to him, he
would go after the Mountain. He
undoubtedly would have been bet
ter off if he hadn't disturbed the
movie idol.
For several minutes Morgan
slugged Dean with his fists and tried
to pull his legs out from under him,
but the giant remained unmoved.
AS they dragged the limp Morgan
cut of the ring following the sitting
down episode, photograph, hidden
in the crowd, began to grind out
I'm on a See-SaW." Even if it had
been good, Morgan couldn't have
heard it.

Because the average number of
baskets made from the field in five
games have been low, Indiana Cen
trail basketballers have been prac-
ticing to find the range.
The Greyhounds are anxious to
avenge the defeat sustained at the
hands of Butler last year. and they
hope to spring some surprises on
the Bulldogs Saturday night.
Bohr May Not Play
One of the promising freshmen,
Joe Bohr, was not out for practice,
having injured his ankle in the
Huntington game. 1t is doubtful
whether he will be able to play this
week.
Central Normal is to open its
season Thursday night against st.
