Catholic University's Cardinal
basketers today are celebrating
another victory.
Last night, in c. U. gym, the
Cards defeated Gallaudet, IS to
10, but only after the Cardinals
had shown themselves dull and
listleSs.
AS some 500 fans looked on,
Gallaudet, after a very fine start,
went to pieces in the second half.
The score at half time stood: c.
u, 13: Gallaudet, 10.
In the second half, Bernie Lieb,
c. us ace center, and his varsity
mates went to work with a will
and simply breezed away from the
faltering Silents. Lieb topped the
scorers with a total of IA points
to his credit.
C. U. recorded 10 goals from
field as against seven for Gallau-
det, while the Cards accounted for
only five goals after fouls as
against seven for the Silents.

AS every one knows, the first
Sugar Bowl game, played jan
uary 1, with Tulane opposed to
Temple, was a huge success and
proved there is a definite place
for the game on the national cal
endar.
The executive committee of the
Conference did not exactly go into
raptures Of delight over the first
Sugar Bowl game, but granted
Tulane permission to play more or
less because the committee could
not do otherwise in view of the
permission granted Alabama to
participate in the Rose Bowl
game. The idea of the committee
was to prove it wanted to be fair
in the matter of passing out fa-
vors to Conference members.
However, the executive commit
tee reserved the right to forbid
Conference teams to participate
in future Sugar Bowl games.
It would be ridiculous move
on the part of the Conference to
take an unfavorable attitude to-
ward the New Orleans classic.
Some may offer the objection that
the game would take competing
football players away from their
studies for long period of time.
This objection is ridiculous, too,
for the reason that Christmas
holidays are off-days for students
anyway, and it is necessary for
the teams chosen to play in the
Sugar Bowl game to be in New
Orleans only a week before the
game, if that soon.
Public Might Resent
Should the Conference strike a
blow at the Sugar Bowl game by
refusing Conference teams per-
mission to participate, no doubt
the public of the Southeastern
territory would deeply resent
such an action. The Conference
can i'll afford to lose the patron
age and goodwill of the terri
tory's public.
National publicity accrued to
New Orleans, the Southeastern
Conference. Tulane, Temple and
the people of the Conference
territory by virtue of the Tu-
lane-Temple Sugar Bowl game.
Only the shortest of short-sight-
ed policies could dictate refusal
by the Southeastern Conference
to participate in the New Orleans
classic.
All in all, it appears certain
the Conference will place it's
stamp of approval on the annual
Sugar Bowl game. To do other
wise would be for the Confer
ence deliberately to solicit un-
popularity in the territory which
today CALAMITY supports the Con-
ference in it's every activity.

Objects to Married
Woman in Job

To the Editor of The Times:
Concerning the appointment of
Mrs. Mordecai Ezekiel as the
new Nursery School head at
only $28.50 weekly, it is rather
hard on the many teachers,
dietitianS, etc., that are making
less than that sum and some
that haven't a position at all,
and that are thoroughly capable
of supervising the schools.
1t seems as though the posi-
ton should have been given a
single woman, and 1 am sure
there are quite a few who would
be just as efficient and only
too glad to give their entire time
for the amount paid Mrs. Eze-
kiel's "only part time" I would
think that Mrs. Ezekiel would
have enough to do at home,
keeping house for her husband
and two babies.
If she must have the position,
why doesn't she work for the
love of it entirely, as surely the
salary her husband is paid
(Which l understand is about
$500 a year Or thereabout) is
quite sufficient for the upkeep
of her home and also few lux
uries that mos of the working
women of today must do with.

B BOOTLEGGERS
THRIVE HERE,
IS CHARGE

BootleggerS do a bigger business
in the nations capital than in any
other city in the United States!
This declaration is hurled at
the Administration by Ammond
Mcclellan, a director of the
league OF distilled spirits rectifiers,
which advocates lower liquor taxes
as the only method of ridding
the country Of the bootlegger.
Declaring that occupants Of
government buildings afford the
chief source of revenue for the
Washington bootlegger, Mr.. Nc.
Clellan, said:
II know that bOOtIeggerS still
infeSt tne very corridors of the
Capitol Building itself, the House
office building and the Senate,
too.
Il am absolutely convinced
that the Illicit whisky situation
in Washington, mainly because
of the fact that Washington
as a city has suffered less from
the effects of the depression
than any other place in the
country, is the worst spot in the
United States"
Mr.. Mcclellan said he is pre-.
pared 70 prove his assertions. He
said:
81 have said that it is pos
Sible to obtain liquor in the
Capitol Building itself. This is
open tC challenge, and if it is
challenged I think I will be In
a position to prove that l per.
SOnally can go into many Of
ficeS ard by using the telephone

that particular office"
Still on Job
Declaring that the man in the
green hat" mysterious Washing.
ton figure of several years ago
who was bootlegger to many high
Government officials, is still on
the job, Mr.. Mcclellan said:
"This otherwise unidentified
individual seemed to capture
the imagination of the nation.
He also seemed to be the prin-
cipal source of supply for every
important man in Washington.
And have information that he
is still on the job.
I'm fact he is not the only
Washington boOtlegger ped
ding his wares"
Sees Failure
Mr.. Mcclellan predicted failure
for Secretary of the Treasury
Morganthau's plan to eradicate
the bootlegger. The plan, in part,
calls for a large staff of Federal
men, with duties similar to the
revenue agents of the prohibition
era. He added:
"It would take almost an
army to effectively exterminate
the bOOtlegger. Only lowered
liquor prices can drive the boot
logger out and the only way to
get good liquor cheaper is by
lowering Federal and State
taxes on it.

lem which the bOotlegger repre-
SentS unless we are able to
make his business unprofit-
able"

AUSTIN, oct. Is. - It's record
proves the Texas legislature t a
hard-wornng body, despite the
days It fails 10 hold sessions. A
defect Of the system under which
tt works Is that over o5 Der cent
OF the work OF its members IN pre-
pairing bills Il wasted, and over 50
per cent Of the totlSome hours put
IN by members IN committee work
Is wasted, and q third to one-half
the time spent iE debate Is denied
results In the failure Of one branch
or the other TO set TO final action
on the measures partially completed.
In this session, seven or eight
members prepared complete old-aRe
pension machinery bills, ut an
enormous outlay Of effort. More
than 90 members totled In the prep
aration Of tax bills. One pension
bill win be used In each house n
the basis Of work. Three or four
tax bills VIII be considered. and
some Of these passed IN the origin
ating house may never get a final
vote In the other.
Often more work Is done on a
day when the house holds no Scs-

bate. That Ia when the committees
work out the bills for the house to
