COACH Is SEASONS,
 NONE OF FEM BAD

MILWAUKEE. Wis, March 18.-- Fifteen years-without a bad season.
 That's credited by Marquette athletic authorities to Frank J. Mur- ray, Golden Avalanche grid mentor Is seasons, who resigned to accept the head-man job at the University of Virginia.
 Murray came to Marquette from Milwaukee high school He first was basketball coach, assistant in football and instructor in econo- mics. He took hold of the gridiron reins in 1922. i
 His Blue and Gold teams won 90 games, lost 32, tied 6. They scored 2,l03 points to 729 for the combined enemy. Among their vic- tins were Navy, Wisconsin, Iowa, St. Mary's, (Calif), Auburn, Mich igan State and Kansas.
 A disciple of no system, Murray borrowed from them all. He did not play football in his college days, at Tufts, but starred in baseball and basketball.

So enthusiastic is Press Agent Francis Albertanti, that his zest and only sweeps him off his feet, but often carries his client along.
 Look at what he did for Brad dock and Schmeling.
 Albertanti was assigned to Brad docks camp to prepare blurbs for the 1895 -Braddock bout be- cause a capable hand was needed to smoke up Jims possibilities.
 You scarcely believed Braddock had chance. Albertanti thought as little of him as you did. But his job was to make the challenger ap- pear as a threat. He convinced himself more thoroughly than he convinced you. He began whisper ing that Braddock was going to take the title.
 All Very Sad
 You shook your head. Francis was swell guy, but, when he came d I U u II u WILL 4CCQ bOA oORC OA that order, well-it was too bad it had to happen. Albertanti kept plugging away, insisting Braddock would do this and do that to the mauling madcap who then was champion.
 When Braddock and Baer crawled through the ropes only Braddock, his manager, Joe Gould, and AL bertanti, gave him more than two rounds to last. You could have named your own odds and all your money would have been covered.
 You know what happened. Brad dock gave Baer boxing lesson in exchange for a world heavyweight championship.
 The only explanation, as I saw it, was that Braddock had read AL bertanti's handouts and had be- come convinced he could win. The Schmeling case was similar.

CINCINNATI III REDS ARE IN
 MANY SIZES
They Can Field a 23-Year- Old Team and Also
 One of 30
By W. c. PETERSON

CINCINNATI. March Is. The Reds. with roster of 36 players consigned to the training base at Tampa. Fla, could field team av- eraging 23 years old-or one aver aging an even 30 years.
 Checking the birth records of the Reds, you'll find two rockies of 20 summers The oldest man on the squad is 36 = Veteran Outfielder Hagen (KikD Cuyler.
 The youner team would have the Reds regular first -baseman, Les Scarsella, and standby right-fielder Ival Goodman. The older team would include the 1886 regulars Cuyler, Capt Billy Myers, Third baseman Lew Riggs, Outfielder Babe Herman, and Relief Pitcher Don Brennan. As catcher, it would have Virgil Davis, the old Cardinal mitt- man purchased by. the Reds last fall
 Rookie on Oldsters' Team
 Another ex-Card, Charley Gel bert, would play second for the old sters; a former major leaguer com ing back for another chance, Jack Rothrock, would hold down right field, and rookie, Frank McCor- mick, hard hitting recruit from Durham, N. C., would do the first passing.
 feaming with Scarsella and Good man on the team of youngsters would be the rockies, Jim Outlaw from Nashville, Tenn; Eddie Joost from the San Francisco Missions; Eddie Miller from Toronto; Lee Gamble from Macon, Ga; Joseph Dwyer from Nashville; Dee Moore, the position player from Macon, and Johnny Wander Nicer from Durham.
 Rockies May Crash Through
 And some of those youngsters have good chances to stick, partic- ularly Outlaw, Dwyer, Moore and Wander Nicer Moore, outfielder- infielder pitcher catcher, showed his. mettle in the Reds final 1886 game when he batted sensationally while pitching three innings and catching the last six. Wander Nicer was picked as the outstanding rock ie of the minor leagues because of striking out 296 batters last sea- son. A southpaw, his speed is spec tacular.
 Anyway: here's the way Man ager Charley Dressen could line up

CRISES

It struck us as amusing when Sir Wilmott Lewis, London Times correspondent, remarked across a table that he had to be getting on home as next day he had to write a lengthy piece on the United State Constitutional crisis. Only a few weeks ago American corres- pondents in London were writing long dispatches on British con stitutional crisis-arising under far different circumstances.

 Another phase of the Presidents relations with the press came up at the same conference. "The New York Times recently published a story by Arthur Krock, it's Wash ington Bureau chief. in which the President was quoted as telling friends:
 When I retire to private life on January 20, l94l, do not want to leave the country in the condition Buchanan left it to Lincoln. If I cannot, in the brief time given to me to attack it's deep and disturb ing problems. solve these problems. I hope at least to have moved them well on the way to solution by my successor. It is absolutely essential that the solving process begin at once"
 Then followed a discussion of the Presidents philosophy.
 It was scoop that left White House correspondents wondering whether the President was to play favorites henceforth.

FARM TENANCY
REPORT GOES
T0PRESIDENT
international News Service


A "windfall" tax on farm land
sales to curb speculation; Govern
ment purchase and retirement
from cultivation of one hundred
million acres of Submarginal land,
and long-term leases and sales Of
farms to tenants through Govern
ment financing. are recommended
in the report of President Roose-
yelt's farm tenancy committee
which is expected to go to the
President Monday.
The committee recommended or
ganiZation of a Government CCr-
poration. under the supervision of
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
and similar to the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation. to make land
purchases, supervise tenant leases
with land owners, and sell farms
to tenants after a trial period.
RA Is Model
The latter feature was based on
a practice set up by the ReSettle-
ment Administration.
The farm tenancy committee
pointed out that fewer than half
of the more than 100000 farm
ers of the country own their
own farms. and that more than
100000 farmers have been on
relief. To aid them in becoming
self-supporting the committee
recommended that he proposed
new agency be authorized by
Congress to acquire farm lands
and buildings, and to contract
with tenants to acquire their
own farms by payments extend
ing over a 40-year period.
Curb Speculation
To curb speculation, the COM
mittee recommended that Con-
gress enact a "WindfalP tax law,
placing a heavy tax on the pro-
ceeds of land sales if sold within
three years after purchase.
While the report specified no
amount of money that would be
needed for the program. some
of the committee members said
that about $10,00O,0OO year
should be provided for starter.

was in this office that the old friend
from Boise wanted his horses shod.
"But Donald, I have no shop any

was the reply. II want you to come and

came to have him draw up a contract

he said Il want you to draw up these

MILAN did so and the old fellow went
away happy. For several years after
his retirement from the grocery and
