1t isn't until an officer-coach gets
himself transferred from West
Point that he is able to collect any
material dough- Such tranSferenceS
are usually politically inspired It
may surprise you to know how many
strings an influential stateman can
pull-and particularly an influen-
tial statesman who happens to be
interested in a state university
Thus transferred the officer coach
not only continues on the pay roll
of your Uncle Samuel, but collects
in addition to the extent of his bar
gaining ability. In such circum-
stances he is being paid not only by
the university, but the government,
Theoretically he still serves as a
military official. Actually he func-
tons mainly as a football coach.
l have always looked upon this as
a practice that lent small credit
either to the officers or the system
which tolerated it, and l am pleased
to know it is TO be ended, A West
Pointer should make up his mind
whether he wants to be a military
man or a football coach. To try to
be both through the assistance of
politicians cheapenS the traditions
of the post.
Unfair to Others, Is Theory.
MessrS. SaSse and Jones are bet
ter known today as football coaches
than as Army officers. There is
nothing about the profession of
coaching that demands an apology
But as football coaches the gentle
men, unwittingly or not, trade on
their military background If Moth
ing else this is hardly fair to the
rest of the profession. I think both
SasSe and Jones can stand on their
own legs as football coaches. They
should do this or go back to the
COlOrS
Certainly there was nothing fiat
tering about the position of Mai
Bob Neyland, who was recently pre-
sented as an outright candidate for
Jimmy Crowleys job at Fordham
1t was stated in the newspapers
land not denied to my knowledge
that the major was in a mood to
give up his commission if he could
get worthwhile coaching appoint
ment.
The major had previously coached
at the University of Tennessee with
high success and at the end of his
term had been shunted to Panama
on legitimate Army duty. Appar-
emily he preferred coaching foot
ball, and so it was that the news
got around that he would not be
adverse to turning his back on the
Army if he could get desirable
coaching assignment.
Army Coaches Grand Fellows
It is easy to understand how an
Army officer or anybody else might
want to make more money; it is
just as easy to understand how an
Army officer or anybody els might
want to work in happier fields. But
the Army-and West Point espe-
cially-haS a maieStic background.
It isn't something that should be
commercialized.
And it is my idea that West
Point coaches who go elsewhere to
take over football teams without
reSigning their commissions very
definitely commercialize this back
ground
This Is not easy to write, either.
because I have never met a West
Point coach who wasn't a grand
fellow. Possibly this is why 1
applaud the new restraint. I hate
to see grand fellows become ordi-
nary.

son, who approXimates the mouth

HARLOW and Chicago

A TEAM which stands no chance
n to win the championship but
one which is liable to spoil the title
hopes of others is in prospect at
Chicago.
The Maroons have Capt. Bill
HARLOW, forward, who led the Big
Ten in scoring last year with 1876
points despite the fact that his
team won only one game and fin
ished at the bottom of the heap. He
scored 81 baskets and 81 free throws.
Any time that HARLOW is hot Chi
cago will have a chance to win.

bolster the team, Richard Dorsey,
Streator, guard; Stanley Kaplan,
Chicago, guard; William Lang, Chi
cago, forward, and Gordon Petersen.

Petersen, a brother of Gordon, is

Chicagos Big Ten schedule this
season is one of the hardest in the
league. The Maroons will play Pur-

HITLER T|GHTENS
GRIP BY DEGREES
New Dictatorship Orders
Require Camp Service Of
100000 Young.

Copyright. 1885 by the Associated Presso
BERLIN. June 27.-Dictatorial de-
crees went into effect today shaping
anew the lives Of all Germans without
giving them a chance either to ap-
prove or protest.
ReichSfuehrer Adolf Hitler's "rub-
ber stamp cabinet. meeting for the
last time before the Summer holidays
and four days before the first ami
versary Of the bloody June 30 Na1
purge" adopted these measures:
l. Making labor camp service COM
pulsory for 100000 young men and
100000 young women annually.
2. Demanding that every one in
Germany, even foreigners domiciled
here, participate actively in air pro-
lection exercises.
3. Authorizing revision of the penal
code lin the light Of National Social
istic tenets" and regulating trials.
4. Regulating official salaries.
5. Speeding up investigation of pre-
liminary sterilization lin order to pre-
vent unsound progeny"
6. Encouraging establishment of
peoples gardens and homesteads.
7. Empowering Bernard Rust. Prus-
sian commissioner for culture and
education, to deal with the church
controversy.
Other lesser DEGREES were adopted.
all but the labor service measure
awaiting publication in the official
gazette.
Not since the blood purge" last
June had HitleriSm made such show
of dictatorial powers, and it seemed
agreed that the far-reaching decisions
would tighten even more Nazidom's
hold on Germany.
Only in the church measure was an
element of conciliation seen. Rumors
were heard that in the Autumn. when
rearmament problems are expected to
be ironed out, cabinet shake-up was
likely in move toward 100 per cent
NaIiSm of more radical ideals.
The labor service law was announced
as measure to inculcate Na1 prin-
ciples in the youth. 1t was expected
to take even more youths from jobs.
to give them physical military train
ing as a preliminary to army service
and to provide mere work for unem-
ployed men.
The youths will work on farms and
on public projects such as roads--both
having military possibilities.

P.W.A. CONSPIRACY.
CHARGES QUASHED
indictment Against Seven
in Texas Case Dropped
on Technically.

IN indictment charging seven men
with conspiring to defraud the Gov
ernrnent In connection with the con-
struction of an irrigation canal in
Texas with P. w. A. funds was
quashed in District Supreme Court
today when Justice Jesse G. Adkins
found the Government had attempted
to charge two offenses in single
indictment.
A possibility that this case. repre-
senting the first majcr graft charge
in connection with the adminiStra-
ton of P. w. A. funds, will not be
brought to trial was seen in the as
sertion by Justic Adkins that he
thinks it "very doubtful whether
either Of what I call the separate
charges sufficiently describes con-
spiracy to defraud the United States"
Charles r. Olberg Involved.
Those named in the indictment are
Charles r. Olberg, nationally known
engineer who was acting for the P.
w. A in the Texas. project: William
A. Harding, Frank P. McElwrath,
James P Barry. Leonard C. Ham,
mond. Harry W. Cole and Perry A.
Welty.
Plans had been completed for the
construction of the S4,000,000 irriga-
ticn canal and preparations were be-
ing made to let the contract when the
allegedly fraudulent acts of the de-
PENDANTS were discovered
The original plans called for grav-
ity canal to irrigate the Willacy
County area, believed to be a poten-
tial valuable field for citrus products.
Subsequently. however, it is alleged the
plans were changed so as to substitute
for the gravity canal a pressure system
calling for an expensive red wood pipe
line.
Selfish Motives Charged.
Some of the defendants. 1t was as
serted. had an interest in the red
wood industry in California and were
actuated by selfish motives in at
tempting to have the plans changed.
Justice Adkins found the indict-
ment. in single count. charged all
seven OF Une QeIenQdnIS Wltn COuSplI- =
ing to defraud the United States and
also charged six of them with con-
spring to do the same thing by in
fluencing Olberg to be unfaithful to
his official duties. Since these con-
stituted two separate and distinct Of
fenses. the court said, they could not
be grouped IN a single count indict-
ment.
Counsel for the defendants, how
ever. also contended that. aside from
this technical point. the indictment
did not set forth facts sufficient to
support any conspiracy charge. Al
though not passing directly cn these
contentious. Justice Adkins indicated
he was inclined to agree with them.
