The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-11-03

As was to be expected, de Valera was branded as 8 traitor by the republican extremists, whose leader he once had been. Still, by taking a firm stand on the side of law and order, even when 1t meant alienat- ing some of his own followers, the president is generally regarded as having shown political acumen as well as courage. This was mirrored in the recent by-elections in Gall way and Wexford, where de Valera's Fianna Fail party scored outstand- ing victories. The I. R. A. vote was negligible.
 Opposition Not Effective
 De Valera's strength today lies in the fact that there is no really effective opposition. In Dali Ei- reann, former President William T. Cosgrave's Fine Gael party has 56 seats compared with the gov- ernment's 78. But the opposition's weakness probably is even greater than these figures indicate.
 "The reason we have no effec- tive opposition is that the oppo- sition parties have no policy with which to appeal to the country" said one Irishman closely in touch with the Cosgrave party. "The op- position fought all de Valera's anti British measures. But there is no party in the Free State today that would dare undo any of them. It would be sheer political suicide. De Valera has only to ask the peo- pie, Is 1t Ireland or Britain you are going to vote for?' and they'll troop out to support him again. Any attempt to reverse the past four years legislation would be condemned at once as 'pro-Brit- ish.'"
 Has Rural Support
 That, in short, obviously is the secret of de Valeras present strength. When he engaged in 8 trade war with the commercial might of Great Britain many pre- dicted ruin for the Free State farm CTS and revolt against de Valera. The rural districts felt the pinch, but less than was expected, and they still continue to support the president, as was shown in Wexford and Galway, both mainly rural con- stituencies.
 If, as is expected, de Valera holds 8 general election early next year to endorse the new constitu- ton, the president will start @ hot favorite. The only doubtful factor is his own health. He has had seri- ous trouble with his eyes and re- gently underwent an operation at Zurich. Friends say his sight has improved greatly since the opera tiOn.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-11-03

Admittedly, many Irishmen bit- teriy oppose his policies. They con- deinn what they call batting the British"
 One said:
 eff 'Dev' has his way the logical outcome of 1t all will be to turn us into 8 kind of third-rate republic, living on cheap beef and, potatoes and talking bad Gaelic"
 But even the most caustic of his critics agree there is no one tc challenge de Valera as the out. standing personality in this coun' try today.
 Power Seems to Be Rising
 De Valera's political power is tremendous and still seems to be on the rise. He has scrapped the old senate which at one time caused him 8 lot of irritation by putting Q brake on some of his pet legisla- tive measures. The substitute senate he. is expected to create under the constitution to be introduced in parliament early in November, 1t is believed, will be an innocuous body shorn of all delaying powers. Tn Dali Eireann he has a comfortable majority of well-drilled supporters who could-and probably would, if he asked them-hustle through any legislative measure in 24 hours.
 In fact, Ramon de Valera, the one- time rebel against Great Britain, Is often described today as the Brit ish Empires No. dictator" His powers are likely to be increased still further under the new consti- tuition which, 1t is expected, will create 8 new post of "head of state" combining the functions of 8 prime minister and the president of 8 re- public. It is already regarded as vir- ttially a foregone conclusion that de Valera himself will be the first in- cumbent. Tn fact, 1t is difficult to sec who else could be.
 Position Once Precari0us
 4 year or 50 ago few would have predicted with confidence how 1ONB ue NdicEd WOuiu iCAidht Ah office. At that time he was assailed from one side by the senii-fascist Blue Shirt organization of General Eoin O'Duffy and from the other by the rising discontent of his own extremist supporters backed by the militant Irish republican army. Politically, he seemed to be a pre- cariously balanced tight-rope walker.
 Then the president sprung one of those surprises for which he is well known. First, he banned the Blue Shirts. Then he flung down the gauntlet to the republican ex- tremists by suppressing the I. R. A. and arresting It's chief-of-staff, Maurice Twomey, and a number of prominent republican malcon- tents following 8 series of political murders.

passably well.

Its primary purpose is to pro-
vide for golfers Of this section a
number Of object lessons in shot
making technique which,. if OBJ
served carefully, ought to result
in some benefit to the informed
spectator.
Jones Gives Suggestions
In the hope of enabling more
golfers to make full use of this
opportunity a few suggestions for
their guidance are herewith set
out.
First, with regard to selecting
locations for observation. Do not
place yourself too close to the
player you choose to watch. The
action is so rapid that little can
be seen from close range. At a
distance Of 500 or 100 feet. or even
more. you will be able to see all
the important movements Of the
stroke and relate them more near
ly in their proper order. If the
crowd is large and you are unable
to find a suitable location for one
shot, walk ahead to the green or
the next tee and place yourself
as you desire.
Make it a point to study each
player from several different
angles-from his front, at right
angles to the play, from behind
the shot being played, from the
players rear, again at right angles
to the play, and from location
down the fairway on either side.
Methods Are Identical
The mannerisms of the players
will cause their swings to appear
vastly different. But in important
respects their methods will be
identical. These are the funda-
mentals and it is these which
should be studied. Some Of them
are:
/. The back swing will start
back in a broad sweep. At first
the head Of the club will travel
close to the ground. There will be
no suggestion that it is being
picked up or lifted. In slow mo-
ton, the action will appear to
originate in the center of the play
er's body, and, following the turn
of his trunk, the club will be
pushed back by the left side.

BresCia Thrills
With Game
Attempt
BY DAVIS ]. WALSH

NEW YORK, Oct. 10 UNS0.
They led lamb to slaughter last
night but miraculously Jorge
Brescia, Of the Argentine, wasn't
soft and woody and vulnerable to
the "kill." He was tough and
hard and vicious; in fact, a snarl-
ing lamb. which undoubtedly is
done by crossing the turning
worm with the baSS-Singing
canary, and for more than eight
minutes he gave Joe Lewis such
a fight as to stand 5000 on their
feet, shouting for the big blow to
fall.
Then, swiftly, they got it. So
did BreScia. It was beautiful
left hook to the chin, as sure as
the stroke of a stockyards' axe,
and Brescia was no more. He was
counted out on the spread Of his
back in 2 minutes and IL seconds
Of the third round. He might as
we'll have been hit by q bit OF
paving.
Midway through the count, the
still, small voice Of returning in.
telligence asserted itself to the
point Of getting Brescia off his face
and around on his shoulder blades.
But there was only one way to
get him out Of the place before the
Waterman came around and turned
out the lights for the evening. That
was to come and get him.
The fight added to Louis pres
tige as a one-punch killer, but con-
tributed none too lavishly either to
the exchequer or the professional
repute in general. The receipts,
because of the limited seating ca
pacity, the high ringside top" of
$11.50 and the recent World Series,
were not more than $35, 900, by a
very great deal the smallest draw"
Louis has made since going up in
the lights two years ago. Moreover,
Brescia was-and still is-a pugil-
tic trouop with six professional
fights.
Nevertheless, he was able to
cause Joseph many moments Of
uneasiness by making the latter
do the leading, which was the
Schmeling technique last June.
Once he seemed to hurt the Negro
with a right and left and, again,
he just missed with a right that
most certainly would have de-
posted our man upon the dais.
Meantime, he avoided being hit
just right by keeping his chin
buried under his shoulder. When
he took it out, it was all over.
Louis caught him behind the ear
with a right swing, propping him
up, and then followed with the
lethal left hook, that being posi-
lively that. The winner was Louis
but the hero was Brescia. He died
with his mouthpiece in.

As the football elevens of Ole
Miss and George Washington
University splashed through the
mud and OOZe of Griffith Sta
dunn last night, there was little
chance for the teams to untrack
themselves. The strategy of both
teams was to lose as little ground
as possible through fumbles,
stumbIes and slithering in the
soft going.
One play developed by the
Rebels intrigued the crowd and
bothered the forward wall of the
COlOnialS no little. 1t was a
spinner buck that developed out
of a fake reverse, and Big
Hapes, the 25O-pOund fullback,
or Dave Bernard. his alternate,

Colonial
Line Play
Strong
By HARRY COSTELLO

George Washington University's
scoreleSs tie with Mississippi, last
night in Griffith Stadium, will be
interpreted variouSly.
AS matter of fact, the dreadful
condition of the field-the next-to.
impossible playing conditions -
made it next to impossible to dis
cover anything about either team
except:
l. The punting was remarkable,
under the circumstances.
2. Mississippi gave every indica'
ton of being a very good football
team.
George Washington gave
every indication of being a very
good football team.
4. Each team flashed q fine
line.
S. None of the backs was able to
hold his feet in such slippery mud.
6. More than likely, with play.
ing conditions, the two teams
could have played three full foot
ball games and arrived at the same
result.
1t has been said that figures do
not lie. Well, the figures on las
nights game lie.
Three First Downs
For instance, G.. w. made three
first downs and Ole Miss made
four. In an ordinary game be.
tween the two Qast nights most
assuredly was far from ordinary,
there would have been plenty of
fireworks on attack, and seven
first downs in one full football
game between two such attacking
elevenS as Ole Miss and G. w. is
an absurdity on the face Of it.
Ole Miss gained 971a yards
rushing; G. w., 81. However, due
to losses because OF half fumbles
and slips and slides, the net gain
rushing by Ole Miss was 641a,
while G. WIS net was 81.
There were times in the game
when individual players-indeed,
when the entire side of a line, or
the entire backfield-indicated
that, had there been a dry field,
spectators would have seen one
Of the greatest grid contests ever
staged in this city.
It will take a great deal Of ar.
gument to unSell many on the no.
ton that G. w. and Mississippi
should hook up again for a con.
test next year in washington. If
the game is arranged, it will pack
'em in.
Right at the very start Of the
contest, G. w. had its best chance
to win. Immediately after the
opening kickoff, the bail became
wet and slippery. Underfooting,
of course, was terrible. Bernard,
Ole Miss backfield ace, was slow
in getting off a punt, due to the
slippery ball, which he juggled
just enough to delay him and due
to poor underfooting. AS result,
the punt was blocked, a flock of
Colonials being in on the deal.
Field Goal Fails
