That's a picture of Southern Cali

practice under a hot March sun and
its no afternoon tea party. The
Hollywood influence is absent. The

In 10 years of coaching at South

his worst team last season. The
Trojans lost six games, won four
and tied one. It took five years from
1929 through 1899 for the Trojans
to lose as many games as they lost
last season.
Spring practice at Soathern Cali

Work on fundamentals. especially

DAYIONA BEACH. 4la.. Marcel
lg.-Cricket lost a believer and base
ball gained a convert yesterday
when Mai A. T. G. Gardner OF
England journeyed to Orlando to
watch the Brooklyn Robins in q
Norkout.
Il was Van Lingle Mungo 220
pounds Of right rand pitcher, who
shook the majors faith III cricket.
Mungo performed this feat when.
tearing back and winding up. he
blew that fast bail Of his down the
middle As the ball a streak OF
white lightning pounded into Al
Lopez mitt with a pistol crack, the
major broke down and confessed
that the fastest cricket bowler who
ever lived had never thrown a ball
with such speed.
Not even Harold LarWooo?" we
asked
mot even Larwood.' % answered the
major
To gain the fun import of such
an admission. one must understand
that, to England, Larwood is a COM
bination of Howitzer trench NOR
ter and Smith and Wessen forty
four
In fact the government banned
him from the last Ashes match with
Australia for fear his projectiles
might MAIN or kill some stout crick-
eleer
II was LarWood who caused the
seething body line theory argu-
ment. Harold, a keen young man,
devised the idea of throwing the
ball directly at the batsnen. with
the result that the batsmen, unac-
customed to such uncriekety cricket,
we're bowled for duck after duck,
which, translated into English,
means being retired without scor-
ing q run.
Gardner. an old cricket player,
would not believe us when We told
him baseball pitchers used the
"body-line theory" with improve
nlentS, IN every game.
Your body line business isn't
new we explained. In baseball
pitchers make practice of hauling
off and slamming the ball directly
at the uatsmen's head, thus causing
a nervousness and shyness detri-
mental to his chances of hitting the
ball"
you don't mean to tell me bats
man ever strikes a ball ike that one
Just bowled by the Mungo person,
90 you?" demanded the major. i
couldn't even see it. And I can't
believe such ball is ever bowled
directly at the players head. 1t
would be murder, simply murder.
You aren't pulling my leg, are you
old fellow?"
We said no. We weren't pulling
anybody's legs-that busting Off
which was the baseball expression
for body line" was very common.
The major thought this very ex-
traorainary. He was particularly
fascinated By that old standby OF
schooIboy pitchers-the round house
curve. He liked drops and inshoots
and hooks, too, but it was the old
round house which drew from him
the fanciest praise.
by CAD, that's lovely thing TO
watch. 2 he exclaimed. Simply love-
IL. These are champions we are
watching, aren't they? They must
be to have such a fine collection OF
bowlers. DO they ever lose a ma ch?'
We sent the major over 10 Casey

An official said no further award OF

the construction cost monthly from
its own funds and then submits a
voucher to the Federal bureau for re-
endorsement.
Approximately $175,000 in South
Carolina vouchers was paid during
October and one for $4,000 has been
received this month for payment. It

ROOSEVELT CASTS
VOTE IN NEW YORK
President Reported Worried
Over Ballot Result
in Home State.
BY ]. RUSSELL YOUNG.
STAFF Correspondent OF The Star.

HYDE PARK. N. Y. November s.
Just like any ordinary citizen. Presi-
dent Roosevelt presented himself at
| the unpretentious little polling place
in this township and cast his ballot in
| todays off-year election.
From all outward appearances Mr..
Roosevelt seemed to have no concern,
but those close to him feel he was not
| optimistic over the outcome OF to-
! days balloting, especially in his home
| State, where the fight has been waged
/ principally for the control of the
State Assembly. The Democrats have
| a slight majority now. and they are
| striving hard to retain it. Close
friends of President Roosevelt pre-
dicted that there would be setbacks
for the Democratic party, but, while
dolefully shaking their heads over
prospects, would not accompany their
gloomy predictions with any figures.
Not Setting Up Alibi
Disclaiming any purpose of setting
up an alibi in advance. the gloom
dispensers were in accord in contend
ing that the ODDS were all in favor
of the Republicans. They based this
on the records of the past. 1t was
pointed out that the Democratic con-
troll of the State Assembly was at
tanned only after "a years of Repub-
lican contrci. Therefore, the Presi-
dents friends figure that. here in
New York State the odds should be
"A to l that the Republicans will
regain their control of the Lower
House at Albany.
There is reason to feel that Presi
dent Roosevelt views the outcome of
the fight in the same manner as do
these friends.
There was only a handful of other
voters in the town hall at the time.
Behind the President came Mrs.
Roosevelt and Mrs. Sara Delano
