Coaches Praise System
of Dean Prep Academy

College football coaches have q lot
of faith in the integrity of Danny
Sullivan, director of athletics at Dean
academy. They say that, when a
coach goes to the trouble of sending
a promising young football player to
Dean, Danny makes sure that when he
is ready for college the boy enters his
sponsors fountain of higher learn
ing. This, the coaches claim, is un-
usual since many prep school officials
will turn their stars over only to the
highest bidder.
French papers, once enthusiastic
about him, have stopped printing
pieces about Danno o'Mahoney's mat
successes. He wrestIes too often and
the cable tolls are too high. One
of the signs of the times in Can
ada is a women's hockey league CON-
posed of four very good teams.
One of the strangest things in sports
is the complex leading negro boxers
have about performing against mem
bers of their own race. Not even the
usually very sensible Joe Louis is i'm
mune from this tendency to draw the
color line and to fight only white men.
Football firsts (suppIied by Penn

test (1e74) against McGiII university;
to use the flying wedge; to win game

Johnson and Norbeck supported Pres

To these can almost be added three
others. While Nye of North Dakota
did not oppose Gov Landon, his Re-
publicanism is known to all to be
tenuous. McNary of Oregon support
ed Gov. Landon in only a perfunctory
way-McNary was acceptable to many

per Of Kansas undoubtedly supported
Landon heartily, for Landon was from
his State; but Capper in the Senate Is
on the fringe between the regular
Republicans and the group named who

only the regular Republicans can be

is PLEA OF BURTIS
Former N. r. A. Employe Was
Charged With Attempt to
Defraud Government.

Guy Burtis, former N. r. A. employe
now living in Chicago, entered a plea
Of nolo contendere in District Court
yesterday in answer to an indictment
charging conspiracy to defraud the
Government by attempting to obtain
reduction in a proposed tax assess
ment.
His alleged co-conspirator, Warren
L. Heap of Chevy Chase Md. former
assistant reviewer in the Internal Rev.

two weeks ago and last week was placed
on probation by Justice Peyton Gordon.
The plea Of nolo contendere has vir-
tually the same legal effect as plea of
guilty.
Both defendants were indicted q
year ago. The alleged conspiracy in
volved attempts TO advise w. A. Ellis,
president of the Amer Mining Co.,
Denver, Colo, in connection with a
proposed tax assessment Of $20S 900
against the company for the year 1882,
the Government charged.
The defendants never were able to
get in touch with Ellis directly, how
ever. according to Assistant United
States Attorney George E. McNeill,
who handled the case for the Gov

campaign amounts to a little more
than 100000. It is. as Hamilton
himself says, proper to expect him
to lead in raising the funds to pay
that deficit off. No one will be eager
to take that deficit-raising job away
from MIN. Deficit raising is pulling
a dead horse, and that is a back
breaking business. Moreover, there is
no reason to seek new chairman at
this time. BY custom, it would be
normal for Hamilton to remain chair

campaign.

Due to Lack of Meat,

BERLIN. December 14-Germany

tons, the Frankfurter zeitung esti-
mated on the basis Of available sup
plies, fixed at 100000 tons.
Germany normally requires $685.
900 tons of wheat, the paper said.
It advanced as one reason for the
shortage that lack of meat has re-
suited in higher consumption of ce-
reals and that some wheat has been
used for poultry feeding because of q
lack Of barley and maize.
The newspaper expressed hope the
recently concluded German Canada
trade agreement would permit re-
sumption Of Manitoba wheat imports
but predicted the Reich eventually
will have to increase wheat-growins
acreage 10 to 20 per cent.
Chancellor Hitler last Fall voiced
