DuSek Is Victor
In Mai Fray

Ernie Dusek. one of the "ras-
slim Duseks." outroughed Joe
Cox at Joe Turner's arena last
night. Dusek won with a body
slam after AZ minutes of alleged
wrestling. There was more slug
ging than actual wrestling and
the fans enjoyed the antics of
the grunters no little. A careful
survey of all the facts indicates
that the boys used Routine No. 3.
Dusek entered the ring with his
right elbow heavily bandaged and
used this in smearing Cox at
times. This aroused Cox and he
slammed DuSek about the ring
with much guSto, but Dusek al
ways managed to regain his feet.
Then Dusek grabbed Cox by the
latter'S ankles and put him down
for keeps.
In the preliminaries, Dean Det-
ton pinioned Frank Judson in 20
minutes; Ivan Managoff held
Hans Steinke to 30-minute draw
and Irving Coffield threw Joe

Changes
In Gridiron

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Plans
for changes in the scoring system
of football. the most drastic, it is
said, since the introduction of the
forward pass and the elimination
Of interlocked interference, are
suggested. William Crowley, pres.
ident of the Eastern Football OF.
ficials' Association, is the author
ity for the statement.
According to Crowley, it was
said today. the officials advocate
the dropping of the goal from
touchdown and have taken more
radical steps than that. Some of
the boys favor scoring a point for
each first down. They propose to
leave the safety at two points, let
the field goal stand at three
points and have the touchdown
stand at points with the try for
point eliminated.
This is not all. however. In the
event of a game being tied at the
end of the game. an extra five
minute period would be played if
the proposals forwarded to Walter
OkeSon, chairman of the football
rules committee, are adopted.
And then, there's another pro-
posed change. Just as there are
gentlemen's gentlemen, there is to
be an officials official. The boys
propose that a fifth arbiter shall
be on the field, and that his
duties shall be to inform the
coaches, spectators and announcers
of the decisions of the other Of
ficialS.
These recommendations will be
carefully studied by the football
rules committee and after due
thought will be acted upon. Oke-
son is on record as favoring no
changes.

BY GARRETT WATERS

Look out for that Western High
School basketball team!
Western supporters would have
you properly cautioned about this
little matter today if you really
were interested.
For the Moore-coached team,
they believe, is the downright
dark horse of the current inter
high basketball series.
The teams efforts thus far
helps a little. Against Roosevelt
High a 1914 triumph was regis
tered-a triumph that was not
supposed to be recorded in view
of Roosevelts doped greater eX-
perience and strength.
Then last week that stand
against Eastern. True, the lads
were beaten and beaten decisively
in the end by the Parkers. but
not before giving every sort OF
battle during the first half-a
half that ended with the Parkers
leaQlng only IA 10 1S.
Meet Tech Today
Today the GeorgetownerS meet
the Tech High five in the RooSe-
velt gymnasium at $50 p. m. The
game is one-half of the interhigh
schedule for the day. The other
contest lists the Central Five
against Roosevelt on the Tech
floor at 3:30-a clash that will
find the Mt. Pleasanters striving
for a comeback, following their
loss to Tech earlier in the week.
Every eye in the Roosevelt gym
will be on the Western youngsters
today. All will want it deter
mined whether or not the George
towners have that certain some
thing to become the dark horse
Western supporters believe is the
case right now.
The team will lineup the same
way as in the past two games.
Gerald Burns and Gene Daley will
be at the forward posts. Paul
Borden will jump center, while
the back court will be taken care
of by Bob Lomax and Harry
Wells.
Hugo Schultz, George Dewitt
and Bill EdmonSton will see action
before it is all over. Schultz and
EdmonSton are guards, Dewitt, a
center. All three have given prom

The team will go against an

ers, you'll remember, scored that
upset over Central on Tuesday and
looked very good while turning the
trick.
Even Better, Maybe

lads should be as good, if not bet

Dobyns, George Hahn, Bill Rea
and the rest play as close a guard
ing game as was their fortune of
Tuesday. That day, their guard
ing was the best of Tech team in
several seasons.
Both Central and Roosevelt will
be after their first victories in the
series in their meeting at Tech.
Central will particularly be out for
a triumph, since its loss to Tech
just about ruined its hopes for a
possible championship this year.

GUILT LAID
TO MINER

WILKES BARRE, Pa, July Z
Q.N.S). - Confident that I'VE
have our man and more than
enough evidence for his convic-
tion," District Attorney Leon
Schwartz today prepared to pro-
duce Michael Fugmann, Hanover
township mine worker, as the
man allegedly responsible for
three deaths in the Easter gift"
bombings last Good Friday.
Schwartz revealed that Fug-
mann, held incommunicado al
most a week, had admitted ad-
dressing the six death parcels
mailed here three months ago in
an apparent terrorist plot.
The 52-year-old colliery en-
ploye admitted also, purchasing
the six cigar boxes which enclosed
the heavy charges of dynamite,
Schwartz said. It was through 3
nationwide checkup on these
boxes and on tiny nails used in
mailing them shut that the trail
led back to Fugmann, he added.
Hailed in Court
Schwartz announced he would
bring Fugmann into court here
this afternoon, when the prose
cutor will present further evil
dence for the continued detention
Of the suspect. At that time Fug.
mann'S counsel, Edward F. Nc
Govern, Wilkes-Barre, is expected
to offer his second petition for a
writ of habeaS corpus for Fug-
mann'S release.
Schwartz revealed:
This was a 'One-man' job. I
am satisfied Fugmann is the
man responsible for the death
! of Thomas MalOney, his young
son, and of Michael Gallagher.
I am also satisfied that we have
more than enough evidence for
his conviction"
M&Joney, former president of
the defunct United Anthracite
Miners; Tom, his four-year-old-son,
and Gallagher, 64-year-old GENE
terry sexton, were fatally injured
by two exploding bombs of the six
mailed in the wyoming Valley.
Margaret Maloney, II, daughter
of the victim and Clinton Lehman,
son in law Of Gallagher, were
seriously injured in the same
blasts.
Nails Trap Suspect
Schwartz told how investigators
had gone to the Fugmann home
and there discovered nails identi-
cal to those used in the cigar boxes.
A comparison of 41,000 nail
samples previously had failed to
produce the matching nails, he
added.
Similarly, Schwartz said, au-
thorities checked shipments Of
more than a million cigar boxes
until it was learned the death par
eel enclosures had been obtained
by Fugmann from two branches
Of q national cigar store chain.

900 Match Workers
Settle Ohio Strike

AKRON, Ohio, July 7 G.N.SO.
The labor situation in this area
cleared further today with settle
ment of the strike of Union Match
Workers at the Ohio Match Co.,
in nearby Wadsworth.
The strike, called a month ago,
left 900 employees idle and led to
sympathy strikes at the Diamond
Match Co., in Barberton, and the
Ohio Boxboard Co., in Rittman.
Resumption of operations at the
Ohio Match plan was expected to
bring reopening of the Diamond
and boxboard plants.
