THE SPORTLIGHT'
Howellto-H Hutson Passing Combination
Scintillates as 'Bama Downs Stanford.
BY GRANTLAND RICE

swept down the field, took the ball
from the air on the 15-yard line and
than raced across for the third touch
down of this quarter This mighty
heave carried more than half the
length of the field, and yet Hutson's
speed carried him to the ball and his
two hands were ready when it fell
beyond the reach of any tackling
arms.
In this second period, Alabama had
gathered in 152 yards from passes and
102 yards along the ground, of which
Howell's stout arm and flying feet had
contributed 200 yards to devastating
air and ground assault beyond STAN
ford'S reach.
Stanford Presses Attack.
TN THE third period Stanford came
back with a ground attack, led by
Bobby Grayson, Hamilton and Van
Dellen, that again proved the heavy
superiority of her running game.
Stanford took the ball on drives by
Grayson and puzzling reverseS for IS
yards across the Alabama line as Van
Dellen finally ran II yards for the
Stanford score.
Stanford had full charge Of the
running game outside Of Howell's long
dashes, but Stanford had no aerial
net-no anti-aircraft fire to break up
the Southern passing game. The score
now was % to 13 and still a foot
ball game until the fourth quarter
opened.
Just two minutes later Dixie Howell
faded back and whipped q forward
pass that carried As yards through the
air. And once again as the ball came
down Don Hutson, a 200-pound
sprinter, was waiting beyond the
Western defense to make the catch
whirl and sprint 20 yards across the
line for the final score of the day.
So for the fourth time Alabama
left the Rose Bowl minus the sting of
defeat. Today she broke the tie with
Stanford holding over from 1927. And
since 1926 Washington, Washington
State and Stanford have fallen before
her Western invasions on New Year
day.

A.AA RESTRICTED
BY M'CAR[ ruling
Surplus Products Held Not
PurchaseabIe With
Customs Funds.

The Secretary Of Agriculture cannot
purchase surplus farm products for
any purpose, under the agricultural
adjustment act amendment creating a
fund of 500, 900 900 to s100, 900 900 an
nually to increase export and domestic
consumption and pay crop reduction
benefits, Controller General McCarl
ruled today.
The significance Of the ruling, ac-
cording to A. A. A. officials, is that it
prohibits the use of funds derived
from custom receipts for purchase Of
commodities for distribution to persons
on relief. Several programs for spe-
cialty crops. such as apples and cab
bage, may have to be altered to con-
form with the ruling, but officials are
confident the act can be amended to
give the A. A. A. the specific authority
which McCarl denied it today.
To the contention Of Secretary Wal
lace that his powers under the amend
ment we're broad enough to go through
with his program. which included sur
pluses for relief purposes, McCarl
tartly said:
"The flexible discretionary powers
which you state are invested in you by
the statute are only those powers
which are necessary in administering
the statute involved and may not law
fully be extended beyond its specific
provisions"
In turning down Wallace for the Sec
ond time, McCarl referred TO the fact
that the relief act and relevant statutes
provided way to handle the pur-
chases.

Film, Comedian Says
Somebody "ToOk a

LOS ANGELES. December 26.-
Wisecracks failed Ted Healy, film
comedian, today as he wondered what
his Christmas impulse" would cost
him.
He started celebrating the advent Of
the Yuletide, but went to jail, accused
of starting a fire in a neighbor's resi-
dence.
Tomorrow the funmaker, charged
with attempted arson. is scheduled to
appear in court for hearing on a writ
of habeaS corpus by which he obtained
his release under 81 900 bail.
Healy said he didn't remember set
ting any fire.
Somebody started a row and the
next thing knew somebody took q
shot at me-" he declared.
The celebration apparently began
in Healy's hotel room. 1t ended in
Santa Monica Canyon, where members
Of the arson squad took him into
custody.
During the interim, Miss Bonnie
Oredell, dancer, told Investigator John
Mize, Healy smashed through the
glass front door of her house, broke
furniture and attempted to set fire to
the place by piling debris on the
kitchen stove.
The comedians sister Marcia Healy,
declared the house belongs to her and

peace groups, proposed a neutrality
measure based in part on the pact.
Headed by Prof. James T. Shotwell
OF Columbia University, the committee
would, among other things, permit the
President, with the consent of Con-
gress, to lift an embargo on exports
to warning nation, If a majority OF
signatories to the pact found the na-
tion had been attacked in contraven-
ton to the treaty.
Tinkham, a member Of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee, said:
This pact was intended to destroy
the neutrality Of the United States
and is doing so. At the time of its
adoption. it was openly stated by
Prime Minister BRAND of France, its
coauthor, that its purpose was to en-
list the aid of the United States in
enforcing the covenant of the League
of Nations.
ut Is now being used for precisely
this purpose by President Roosevelt
and Secretary Hull"
Tinkham said there were so many
reservations and exemptions to the
treaty that it did not outlaw war; on
the contrary, 1t gave the most solemn
sanction of specific wars that has ever
been given to the world"
This pact, falsely and mendaciously
called a peace pact a pact to out
law war;" Tinkham said, sis now be-
ing used to involve the United States
in European quarrels and in a
European war. 1t means war for the
United States, not peace, and it should
be abrogated at once.
Allen minds conceived this pact
and it was adopted by propaganda
paid out of alien funds"
Attacking Henry L. Stimson. Secre-
tary of State in the Hoover admin
istration, Tinkham said that on the
Briand-Kellogg pact he had based his
"unwarranted action" in intervening
in the Sino-Japanese dispute and
bringing this country Ito the brink OF
war with Japan"
He added that If the pact were
continued it could lead only to uni
versal hatred Of the United States"

MACON GAS SUPPLY
CUT BY EXPLOSION
Thousands of Housewives Unable
to Cook Yule Dinners
Due to Break.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MACON, Ga, December 26-Thou-
sands of Macon housewives were un-
able to cook their Christmas dinners
yesterday, as the gas supply failed,
due to a broken main.
The break located, the Macon Gas
Co. sought to warn every gas consumer
in the city to cut of unlighted Jets.
The Macon Evening News furnished
the gas company tip as to the 10
cation of the broken main during an
investigation of a reported explosion
in the vicinity of Wesleyan College,
nine miles north of here.
The blowout in the main did not
occur near a dwelling and no one was
injured.
Robert Ingle, manager of the gas
company, called 200 men here from
Atlanta to aid in checking-up to pre-
vent seepage of gas after the supply
is turned on again.
The Evening News, which uses gas
as fuel in its composing room and
stereotyping department, was crippled
by failure of the gas supply, being
forced to discontinue publication after
its first edition.

ITHACA, N. Y, December 26.-
A new effect in medicine to aid in
developing habits of skill was reported
today at Cornell University.
The medicine is cortin, the hormone
made by the adrenal glands. It's
powers Of making training In co-or-
dination easier were discovered by try
ing this hitherto exclusively human
medicine on some sheep.
The sheep verified the known ef-
fects Of cortin on man and also re-
vealed the new effect. The animals
were under training to learn some
dificult habits designed to test their
nervous systems.
At the sound of an electric buzzer
they lift q foreleg with the same mo-
ton they would use at the touch Of
q live electric wire. This gives some
Of the sheep nervous breakdowns.
Cortin restores their nerves much
as 1t helps human beings with bad
nerves. But 1t also smoothes out the
leg-lifting troubles OF the nervous
sheep.

Todd Probe Turns to Two
Hollywood Men Who Had
Stars Confidence.
BY the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press. tr
LOS ANGELES, December 26.-Ro-
mantle and financial secrets in the
life of Thelma Todd were investigated
today in search for new evidence
concerning her death.
Deputy District Attorney u U. Bla-
lock said detectives will question two
Hollywood men, unmentioned before
in the case. but reputed to have en-
joyed the golden-haired condolences
confidence.
The interrogation will center on
what information they may have re-
garding the identity Of San Fran
cisco business man." with whom the
actress assertedly disclosed she was
having marvellous romance"
The district attorneys Office has re-
ceived written statement by Roland
West, close friend of Miss Todd, on
the arrangements for the operation
and ownership of the sidewalk cafe
which bore her name, attaches said.
Verbal Agreement Reported.
The statement repeatedly disclosed
the pair had a verbal agreement Dy
which she was to be given the cafe if
he died before she did. 1t denied Miss
| Todd had invested her own money in
the enterprise.
1.-THE grand jury, meeting again to-
morrow, wants to find out all about
this deal, which apparently was some
what unusual" Blalock declared.
A report that throat laceration
was noted when the autopsy was be-
ing performed, was denied by County
Autopsy Surgeon A. F. Wagner. He
said the only mark was a slight injury
about her lips, apparently suffered
when her head struck the steering
wheel of her automobile. The actress
was found dead in the machine in a
garage behind her cafe a week ago
Monday.
Monoxide Theory Backed.
Police said today their theory Of ac-
cidental death from carbon monoxide
poisoning, which also was expressed
IN the inquest verdict. has received
substantiation from a report by City
| Chemist Ray PnKert.
Pinkert determined that carbon
monoxide was present in blood scraped
from the door and running board of
the Todd automobile. This shows con-
clusively, police said, that the actress
was not injured before she entered the
garage.
They reasoned that Miss Todd, re-
turning from Hollywood party early
Sunday morning, found herself locked
out of the cafe. went to the garage to
keep warm and started the motor Of
her automobile.

QUINTUPLETS BORN
TO NICARAGUA PAII.
Three Boys and Two Girls Re-

Medical Men Worry.

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, December
26.-The birth of quintuplets to a
Nicarasuan couple was reported In the

The parents Of the children are

Grande, in the Department (State) of
Matagalpa.
The quintuplets consist Of three boys
and two girls, all in perfect health.
Medical authorities here were in
terested in the report, but worried be-
cause the infant death rate is high in
Nicaragua, especially in the outlying
districts such as Matagalpa, where
communications are meager.
