 The direction of Administration thought with respect to 1886 grows plainer daily.
 Several recent events, including the Supreme Court MIRA decision, the Presidents tax message, and the trend of legislation in Congress, have cast long shadows into next years presidential campaign.
 Sometimes these prior indications are deceptive, but as matters stand today it is difficult to see that much change can take place as re- gards certain basic issues on which MT. Roosevelt has committed him. self.
 Briefly these issues are:
 MT. Roosevelt wants a redistri- button of wealth. He wants to break up large fortunes when they pass from one hand to another by in~ heritance or gift. He wants bigger income taxes for the biggest in- comes, and the biggest corpora tions. He wants to smash some of the largest. combinations of indus try, not only in the utilities field, but in all fields. He wants unem- ployment and old age insurance for workers, and he wants the Federal Government to carry on in some way regulating labor and industrial conditions after the fashion of the NRA.
 Where does all of this, taken to- gether, lead?

zAHAR|AS WINS
OVER BEAVER

George Zaharias VS.. Little
Beaver. The winner, ZahariaS!
That's exactly how it ended,
that feature bout at the Washing
ton Auditorium mat show last
night. zaharias was figured to
win and he did.
Little Beaver got in several
innings of humping, however, be-
fore the finish. This seemed to
bother zaharias little, as he was
always able to come back for more
bumps and bounceS.
The bout was for best two falls
out of three. Zaharias took the
first fall in 10 minutes and the
second in II, while the crowd of
1000 shouted in delight.
Karl Pojello and Gino Carl
baldi wreStled As minutes to a
draw in the semifinal. Frank
Brunowicz defeated Andy Rasher
in 1872 minutes, and Ed Meske
tossed Scotty McDougau in 11h
minutes in the supporting features.

Arthur Haley, graduate man
ager of athletics at Notre Dame,
is in Washington with Layden.
The two will go to New York
late today to spend the week
end in the metropolis.
"Here and there throughout
the country" said Layden, "yOu
will find that NOtre Dame men
who are coaching have changed
the general aspects of the NOtre
Dame system somewhat. but
none has changed the funda-
mentalS.
Zone of the values of the sys-
tenn is that it permits the use Of
the smaller athlete. This value
cannot be underestimate. I,
for one feel that a place for the
smaller, lighter man must al
ways be available in the game
of football, if the game is to
serve the purpose for which it
is intended in the scheme of col
lege life"
LOOKS YOUNG
Elmer, looking almost as young
as when he was a member of the
famous Four Horsemen, feels that
the smaller, lighter man adds
much to the game of football
from the viewpoint of the specta-
tor.
"There is nothing so fascinat.
ing in football as clever plays
by the smaller, lighter man.
His agility stands out boldly
when he is pitted against men
who outweigh him all the way
from 20 to 40 pounds. Some
of the games greatest players
were smaller, lighter men. Any
one who has ever seen small
man weave his way through a
broken field has enjoyed one of
the greatest thrills football has
to Offer"

FOOTBALL GROWS
Arthur Haley sees no diminu-
ton of interest in football. He
predicts continued interest in. the
great academic game on the part
of the public.

Wright may be a vital factor
with the Indians this summer. To
be sure the Indians acquired Bruce
Campbe from the st. Louis
Browns, but although Campbell is
tt good ball player. it will be a
long time before they name any
boulevards after him. Wright, a
youth of q summers is a far bet
ter prospect than the tried st.
Louis veteran.
Fourth Among HitterS
And now, to quote from that

record. Playing regularly with

tiers of the league with a mark Of
1853. He drove in 13l runs with
his 214 hits. He made Al doubles.
9 triples and 90 home runs.
Wright scored Ill runs himself.
Berger is so well known around
Washington that any review of
his record seems unnecessary. He
hit 1913 with the Pelicans last
summer, making 189 hits. He
drove in 80 runs and comported
himself after the manner of a real
ball player at all times.
Denis Galehouse starred in the
Dixie Series with the Texas
League and was regarded as a
great aspect throughout the
year. Galehouse walked only A
men in 1873 innings, which is
pretty close to uncanny control
for a minor league pitcher. No
use waiting out a hurler who
finds the plate so consistently.
Garbark Is Promising
And while we're on the subject
of young and promising ball
players, there's Bob Garbark of
Toledo. This young husky hit
.341 with the Mudhens and is re-
garded as a. sure fire hit for a
