Muffled cries from the debris were

Bell Of Charlotte Be-

RV Il q IA SE[ ND WITT

Raleigh, Nov 23.-Speculation has
already started as to what senators
and representatives will be selected
as chairman of the more important
committees in the Senate and House
of the 1887 General Assembly. This
is especially true with regard to the
finances and appropriations commit
tees, regarded as the most important
and powerful committees in the entire
assembly, since these are the commit
tees which must decide on all appro-
priations and then provide the rev.
enue with which to pay them.
For a long time now the belief has
been general in governmental circles
that Lieutenant Governor w. P. Hor-
ton will select Senator James A. Bell,
of Charlotte, Meckenburg county, as
chairman of the Senate Finance Com
mittee. Those who followed the &C
tivities of Senator Bell in the 1885
session of the assembly remember
that he was one of the most active
members of the finance committee,
showed very keen insight into tax
matters and was one of the outstand-
ing members of that committee. It is
also known that Lieutenant Governor
Horton has very high regard for
Senator Bell and his ability and in
tegrity. So it will not surprise many
people here if Senator Bell is named
chairman Of the finance committee.
With regard to the craftsmanship Of
the Senate Appropriations Committee
there is less unanimity, as there are
several experienced men in the Senate
regarded as capable of heading this
important committee. However, sew
eral with long experience in political
and legislative circles here are of the
opinion that Senator Thomas J. Gold,
of High Point, is destined for a top
flight committee Craftsmanship and
that he has an excellent chance to be
named head of the finance committee.
It is known that God is very close to
Governor-elect Hoey and many here
believe he will become the spokes-
man for the new administration in

WISCONSIN COACH
ON CARPET TODAY
Regents Hear Spears Side
Of Controversy Raging
Over Foot Ball.
BY the Associated Press.

n 4 ADISON. Wis. February g.
M DR.. Clarence w. Spears, head
foot ball coach, was invited
to present his side of con-
troyersy raging over the troubled Uni
versity of Wisconsin athletic situation,
at a second hearing before univer-
sity regents committee today.
Among the charges to be aired was
one that Spears ordered coffee spiked
with whisky for his foot ball staff.
Affidavits to that effect we're presented
to the regents by certain players.
Other members of the team and staff
denied the reports.
Charges were made and denied that
the coach sent players into games
while they suffered from injuries and
that others had not had fair chance
to show what they could do.
Ask as to Tourney Loss.
A MOTHER question headed toward
investigation by the regents was
why the Wisconsin Interscholastic
Athletic Association, a high school
sports federation, withdrew its annual
State basket ball tournament and
track meet from the university field
house and stadium this year.
At the regents first session. Dr.
Walter Meanwell. athletic director.
charged with encouraging student
petition for the removal Of Spears,
defended his policies as head of the
department. admitted giving liquor to
two players as stimulant after a
foot ball defeat and explained agree
ments with Badger coaches through
which he could remove them quietly.

Bees Not Suitable Nickname
Minute Men Would Have Been Perfect for Hub
Club i'm More WAYS Than One.

Minute Men would have been per-
feet; the Braves usually are good
that long in any game. Likely by
midseason the Bostons will be
known as the 'Drones" and with
their present makeup the Bees
certainly will be honey for the rest
Of the National League.
Bob Quinn Is one of the snartest
and best liked men in the business
end Of base ball, but there's long
pull ahead before the Bees will pack
much sting in the National race.
The Bees have a grand guy in the
front ONCE; a swell manager in
Bill McKechnie and q fine player
in Walter Berger, but little else Of
any value.
Maybe Quinn will be lucky-he
deserves to be-and discover talent
in the small minors. That Is his
best chance since his club lacks the
money which enables the Giants,
Cubs, Cincinnati, Red Sox, Yankees
and Tigers to outbid the rest Of the
field in the ivory market.
In the past the Bostons have been
called the Beaneaters. the Doves
and the Braves, but except for 1914
when George Stallings performed
his miracle, they could have been
called the Sweeneys. Names mean
nothing without pitching and
hitting.

Support for the Graham plan"
came from the University of Maryland
Athletic Board and the faculty OF
North Carolina State. Dr.. L. B.
Broughton. chairman Of the board,
expressed the attitude Of the Mary
land athletic officials as follows:
eff we we're doing things in con-
nection with our athletics that would
not stand the light of publicity, then
we probably would fight the Graham
plan. But. as we have nothing to
conceal. and because we want to keep
our athletics aboveboard, We shall
support it."
The North Carolina State faculty
Overwhelmingly approved the Ora
ham plan" with only about a half
dozen noes" sounded from $50 pro-
fessors present.
Forrest Fletcher, president Of the
Southern Conference, commented sig
nificantly on the de-emphasizing
move:

loaf, Western and Central will clash
tomorrow at Roosevelt, while Eastern
will strive for its seventh consecutive
series victory against Roosevelt at
Tech.
With Roosevelt apparently doomed
to drop its second game to the Lin
coin Parkers, Western can assure it
self of a second-place tie with a win
over Central.
The Red Raiders, out to avenge a
previous defeat by the Columbia
Heights quint, must come out on top
to finish the series with an even break
in the eight games. Now in third po-
sition, Western has won three tilts
while losing four, with Roosevelt show
] ing 500 average in six games.
Central, in the cellar with but one
victory in five starts, faces the task
of trimming Western, Tech and East
ern if it would fulfill its second-place
hopes.
Tech, with a 1893 average in six
trays, does not see action until Tues
day.
Chick Eollidge. fashy Eastern for
ward, continues to lead the interhigh
scoring parade, tallying 66 points in
six tilts for an average of II markers
per game.
Close on Hollidge's heels is Team
mate Lavelle "Dopey" Dean, who has
scored three more field goals than the
leader in ringing up go points. Spero
Kolius, Roosevelt forward, takes third
place with 49 points, while Westerns

Play Here IL Sundays.

THE new schedule lists only seven
series of four games for the Ma
tionals, while they are down for 80
three-game series. To balance. there
are II two-game sets and two stops
on the road for single games.
From the Washington business Office
viewpoint the slate gives the Nationals
every advantage. At home they have
been given IL Saturday dates and a
dozen Sunday dates, like five other
clubs. The Tigers are given 13 of each,
while the Browns hase been restricted
to II.
But it is the holiday-date distribu-
tion that is likely to give the Griffs
their best box Office breaks. On the
priced July date the Washingtons
will entertain the Yankees at Grif-
fifth Stadium in the traditional double
header, while on Labor day they are
down for a pair of tilts here with the
Red Sox, whose acquisition of every
body from Philadelphia except Connie
Mack, the Shibe brothers and the al
leys they call streets, figure to make
'en1 standout drawing card as well
as flag contender.
On the road the holiday dates, if
anything, are even better. The Ma
tionals cash in an extra holiday when
they appear at Fenway Park in a twin
bill on April 20, which is the day fol-
lowing Bostons Patriots day. Then
on Decoration day they will be in
Yankee Stadium.
Last years attendance figures, both
at home and on the road, showed the
Yanks to rank first. Boston, while
ranking only sixth, canont blame this
lowly position on the home fans, for
the Hub was loyal to Joe Cronin's
tossers and are expected to surpass
all modern enthusiasm records this
year. So you can figure it out for
yourself how well the Griffs, who were
last in attracting fans in 1885. will
welcome this unprecedented schedule.
