Two prominent first night fans who watched four games of action at the central "Y" last night were Coach Tom Kibler of Washington College who has helped add to the gridiron and court knowledge of many Waterburians during sojourn of the local athletes the Mary land institution over period of the past ten years. With him waG Fred Dumschott, the "Skiddo" of the Knights of Columbus basket ball days and a member of one of the greatest hoop combinations ever turned out in Connecticut the Kaceys of 1920 including Car roll, Dumschott, McNamara, Bor- den and Sheehy. Fred, who is now now doing we'll in an executive ca- pacity at Washington College, would have little trouble cutting in toward a basket with the agility that was his 15 years ago, for he's hefty, healthy and happy; and what more could one ask? Coach Kibler threw up the ball at center to lend an added bit nf novelty to the evenings proceedings which showed Waterbury district teams, particularly the Watertow1 Princetons, Boys Club Cadets, Wordcns and Reymond Hillies Tn top form, all of them winning in walk from supposedly strong op- position. But they will have more to worry about from now on, par ticularly if they are paired against each other next week.
 Harry Fliesher, packer of no less than three Princeton A. A. teams in Watertown is plotting d seasonal windup that is corkec. Tomorrow night, the Princetons face the House of David again while week or so later they may play their last home game against the Detroit Clowns also for tho second time this year. Both teams drew large crowds in Watertown and put on some real opposition for the classy Princeton combine.
 Most impressive to many fans, as was the situation last year was the speed and class shown by the Boys Club Cadets who skated around the "Y" court with the abandon of zebras. The noun taihous presence of Jack keefe at center, led the Cadets oppon- ents to wonder where he came from and feel that he was not a member of the team, (due 10 the size of the other players) but that impression was corrected as Kee!e has been a regular all season, though Omar the tentmaker is still working on his uniform which will be ready for next season.
 Attendance last night gave much promise for future games for near ly 300 admissions went through the gate and though the games were onesided, fans saw some slick shooting throughout the evening. Last years runners-up, the An sonia White Flashes are this sea sons Blue Devils and will be seen in action tonight. With the Red Devils of West Haven at Brooklyn tonight. and House of David in Watertown to- morrow night. plus tournament games. there is some real basket ball on tap this week end.

Yet Gallant Sir took two hollow decisions, Phar Lap upractically walked around the course, Victorian prevailed with out trouble, and Mike Halls tri- umph was notable only because of the lamentable failure of the only other worthwhile horse that faced the barrier-Sun Beau.
 The significance of all this Is difficult to fathom. Perhaps some of the owners have felt the depres- sion to such a degree that they were willing to break tradition in bringing out their best. Maybe they wished to give racing in Call ifornia a running start. Maybe its the hardness of the Florida tracks, of which Bob Smith, trainer of the Brookmeade stable.s and others have complained, that has kept topnotch gallopers locked up dur ing the winter months of the past. Whatever the reason, Florida has at least one cause to look en- viously at the golden strip on the Pacific shore.

A4 HARRY <. CRIMSON

It took California to relieve winter racing of the monotonous quality of three-ring circus.
 Until this season the spotlights, if any, played on colorless second raters, with the stars of spring, summer, and fall in snug quarters.
 An occasional Black Gold came along to brighten the otherwise hay horizon, but for the most part these were purely accidental. Once in a while, too, an Exterminator or Sun Beau took a shot at winter racing. But these two, plus Victorian and Gallant Sir, had only one rich prize in mind-the rich Cofforth handicap, or it's successor, the Agua Caliente. Winter race goers saw little of them. Phar Lapp frightened one winter cam. paign at Agua Caliente, but Aus tralia's wonder horse met his un- timely end before he had an oppor- tunity to further prove his emi- hence against the better thorough oreds.
 The advent of Florida into the ranks of the mighty few states staging winter meetings did not change this set-up to any great ex- tent. Scintillating steeds still stayed in their stalls, and the medioccri- ties merely moved over to the pal mettos from Hueysiana. Nor were there any Black Colds in the lot. While the grade of the gee-gees seem to improve over the pack which had always gone to New Orleans, no colt of anything near Black Colds ability has come out of winter racing.
 Unusual, as Usual, in California
 Joseph E. Widener gave America it's most beautiful track in Hia- leah park-probably the most beautiful track in the world.
 Florida increased the value of winter purses, and instituted much needed turf legislation.
 It has attempted to lengthen races for older animals this sea- son, and decrease the emphasis on 2-year-old events.
 Yet despite all this, Snata Anita, new track in the state which is only learning, now about legaliZed racing, gathered class of flyers which no winter association here- tofore could logically dream of calling forth.
 Excluding the more widely known 2-year-olds of 1884 and Discovery and Peace Chance, vir- tually every good galloper in this country is at the picturesque plant of the Los Angeles Turf club. Most of them have gone postward there, It Is too bad that hoof injury deprived the $100,O00 added Santa Anita handicap of the additional interest that Cavalcade's presence would have supplied. No one sum- mer oval could hope to schedule number which would attract Equipoise and Mate, winners of more than $30O,000 each: and the derby victors, Cavalcade and Twen- ty Grand: not to mention Ladys- man, Azucar, Head Play, Faireno. Gallant Sir. Gusto, Good Goods, Gillie, High Glee. Jabot, Tick On, Fleam. Time Supply, Riskulus, Top Row, and some more.
 Roman Soldier on Lonely Watch
 It does not seem probable that the 3-year-oids are to be disgrac- ed by those performing in Florida. either. We haven't any idea that either Roman Soldier, currently bidding for fame at Hialeah, or Gillie, victor in Sant Anita derby, will go down among the immortals But Roman Soldier is the only luminary in a Hialeah meeting de- signed to improve the type of sport offered in the Miami district.

Boiled down, that is the bitter
essence of what is now taking place
behind the closed doors of diplo-
macy in London, Paris and Rome.
Under no circumstances, accord
ing to sources best able to weigh
the situation, will Britain permit
Italy (a) to obtain too firm a foot
hold among British colonial inter-
ests in Africa, and CD menace
the Empires Mediterranean-Suez-
Red Sea route to the Orient.
The new Tory government at
London, this writer is informed, is
tremendously in earnest when it
protests it does not want war. 1t is
genuinely frightened at the pros
pect. But it agrees that there are
things even worse than war, and
one of them is defeat at the hands
of II Duce.
That is, the annexation of Ethio-
pia, despite everything Britain has
done to head Italy off, might we'll
have fatal consequences just now
when neither effort nor money is
being spared to restore British pres
tige to its old-time glory
The present international tenn
pest over oil, therefore, is seen as
important but not necessarily vital.
An unlimited supply might make it
harder for Britain and the League
to hamstring Italy. But, with or
without oil. Mussolini must not
permit his ambitions to 60 very
much beyond the limitations of the
reported "ultimatum." If he does,
he courts his own destruction.
From Rome. reports continue to
affirm that an American subsidiary
is preparing to provide II Duce with
the necessary oil with which to win
his African campaign. This con-
Germ, it is said, will obtain its supply
elsewhere than from the United
States-for the most part, appar-
emily, from Rumanian wells under
American control.
If true, this would mean betrayal
of the League of Nations from with
in as we'll as from without. Ru-
mania is a member of the League.
She voted to uphold sanctions.
Moreover, she is an ally of France,
Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia, like
wise sanctionist powers.

EXPERT IN CITY
Consults Business Group;

Take Action.

Social security in Indiana depends
on action of the State Legislature,
Merrill G. Murray, associate direc-
tor, unemployment compensation
bureau, Federal Social Security
Board, said today on his arrival for
conferences with local employers.
The compensation law, which
would levy tax upon employers, is
to be explained by MIR. Murray this
afternoon to business executives.
The indianapolis Chamber of Com
merce arranged the meetings.
Mr.. Murray is to confer this after
noon with Gov. McNutt, who re-
turned today from Washington
meetings on appropriate Indiana
legislation for social security.
The Governor said he had OBJ
tanned first copies of Federal data
issued by the government. He said
he would study the facts and prob

Monday when the latter comes to
South Bend to receive an honorary
Notre Dame degree.
Mr.. Murray is a graduate of De
Paw and the son of a former
Huntington County Methodist min
lister, the Rev. David G.. Murray.
Indiana employers must pay the
l per cent tax for the first year; 2
per cent for the second, and per
cent for following years whether a
state law is passed or not, Mr. Muir
ray said. He is to be guest at a
Chamber dinner tonight at the Lin

War StaIemate Near End
BY United Press

bY OnIteO fTeSS
The military stalemate in the
Ethiopian war showed signs today
of ending.
After two months of scattered
fighting and maneuvering, real
battle appeared in prospect at last.
Discounting rumors and the occa-
sional bits of misfortune which
reach isolated Adds Ababa, the fol-
lowing appeared to be facts:
l. Italian planes submitted Dessye,
war headquarters of Emperor Halle
Selassie, to terrific bombing.
Italian Planes Active
2. Italian planes are increasingly
active on the northern front, per-
haps presaging a general Italian Of
fensive by Marshal Pietro Badoglio,
the new COMMUNICATIVE chief sent to
Africa for that purpose.
g. Halle Selassie has conferred
with his chiefs at the front and
probably is prepared to start his
delayed resistance to the Italians.
Whether it will be confined to har-
assing guerrilla tactics or will be
followed by mass attack was not
certain.
An Italian drive in the north ap-
pears logical for three reasons:
Marshal Badoglio has to make a
showing; Italy has to maintain her
prestige by demonstrating that her
army is not stalemated by the Eth
iopians but is definitely superior;
Italy must present to the League of
Nations some accomplished facts to
show her power to resist sanctions.
On the diplomatic front there
was heavy fog. Paris was repre-
sented as being optimistic. Geneva,
however, seemed to feel that the
French British peace talks starting
tomorrow would fail, while in Rome
it was said Mussolini already had
decided to reject any offer they
make.
Hence, predictions are not in or
der, but by Monday it should be
clear whether an agreement still is
possible, or the League will take a

applying the oil embargo.
U. S., British Warn Japan
Aside from the Ethiopian Difficult
ty, other disturbing factors appeared
in the international situation. Al
most on the eve of the naval con-
ference in London, which it is ad-
mitted in advance will be failure
as far as accomplishing a reduction
of naval arms is concerned, Britain
and the United States shook warn
ing fingers at Japan for her move
ments in North China.
Perhaps it was coincidence that
Sir Samuel Hoare and Secretary
Cordell Hull made their statements
simultaneously.

The emperor's Dessye palace was
the special object of attack and
was damaged. The emperor escaped,
having taken refuge elsewhere when
the alarm was given.
One bomb passed right through
the red cross painted on the roof
of the hospital, setting the building

American flag painted on the roof
was not hit.
A huge bomb pit was created 100
yards from the hospital. Most of
the patients were evacuated when
the air raid warning was given and
were saved.
The wounded included a Swedish
