certed action to eliminate cut
throat competitive conditions in
America is a primary need of the
day, Major George L. Berry, Fed
eral coordinator for industrial
cooperation, declared in an ad-
dress here.
Eyes Constitution
Speaking before the National
Association Of Tobacco Distribu-
tors Mr.. Berry stressed he believed
such a goal could be achieved
within the Constitution. If it can
not be done by that front door"
approach to the Supreme Court.
he said, then an amendment
should be sought. He explained:
"If it grows apparent that
the Constitution is inadequate,
as a result of the findings Of
the Supreme Court, then / shall
associate myself with those pro-
posing an adequate cOnStitu-
tiOnal amendment which will be
sufficiently elastic to provide
for the practical and cOnstruc-
tive legislation necessary in our
economic life. 1t is q right
under the Constitution that we
should proceed to amend 1t
when we elect to do SO."
NO SECOND '29
Mr.. Berry said he joined with
those who doubt that our form Of
government could endure another
catastrophe such as visited itself
upon us beginning in 1929" He
added:
1--WE cannot therefore escape
the challenge that our first con-
sideratiOn is the development Of
an adequate fOrtificatiOn of de-
fenSe against the return of these
abuses.
1--WE condemn the expIOita-
ton of child life in industry, the
payment Of wages which pre-
vent Americans from living in
respectability, the unreasOnably
long work week, dishonest trade
practices.
END CUTTHROATS
1--WE agree that all of these
things were largely responsible
for our economic collapse. What
we are going to do about it is to
undertake in constructive and
democratic way to develop legis-
lation within the walls Of our
Federal Government and State
governments which will prevent
the dominance of cutthroat
competitive conditions"
Mr.. Berry asserted he believed
the Government had not been
adequately prepared "in many Of
the cases which have been de-
clared unconstitutional by the
Supreme Court" He warned that
future cases should be carefully
prepared.
Turning to the farm problem,
he said:
Gas a further contribution to
planning, 1 am encouraged in
the movement to bring agricul.
ture into a great national coun-
Gil, similar to the present in.

the University of Miami Friday night.
With Irish Carroll, halfback, and
Joe Bunsa, Vic. Miller and Carmen
Pirro, linemen, left at home because
of injuries, the Cards face a general
shortage of players. But Bergman
said before leaving that Pirro had
been tried in several positions recently
and filled them all reditably-hence,
his greatest value to the Cardinals.
A 200-pounder, Pirro may be
called upon to play tackle in the event
Leo Katalinas' foot injury is not
improved by the time the team arrives
at Coral Gables. Or he may start at
end if Lou Shine isn't fully recovered
from recent injuries. He is ready, too,
to relieve either guard, Capt. Vic
Sochon or Arthur Sabo, or even take
over the center job should the injured
Wayne Ambrose or the inexperienced
Pete Osinski need help.
AS only two backs are assured of
starting, Joe Guyon at right half and
Nick Sarelas at full, there is chance
that Pirro may find himself among
the ball carriers.

a were to engage in the first Of
only two full practice sessions sched-
uled this week in preparation for the
game with Penn State on Saturday.
Following the same procedure that
regulars a total of three hours, Coach
Frank Dobson plans to divide that
same time between today and tomor-
row. For ID reserves, however, to-
days workout was to have been their
second of the week, they having been
sent through regular drill yesterday.
Mccarthy Only Casual.
NONE of the regulars was hurt in
the V. M. I. game, and that means
that all, except John Mccarthy, will
be ready for the Nittany Lions, as
nothing will be done in practice that
might cause injury. The team will
leave for the game site Friday by bus
after taking a brief warm-up drill.
Maryland's diversity of attack was
exemplified by the statistics of last
Saturdays game. The Terps rushed
for l40 yards, passed for 1870, later
aled for % and ran back kicks for
So. Their kicking was all that could
be desired, too, Earring Jim Meade
averaging SO yards from the line of
scrimmage on his punts and Pershing

goal actually being a 28-yard kick

THEY named him the most VAL

pass from center and quickly flicked
the ball in position for Kirk Millar's
extra point boot, the margin of the
Lincoln Parkers' 7-6 triumph over
Tech before 5000 spectators at East
ern Stadium.
Kemp was an all-high selection at
center last season, but Coach Artie
Boyd gambled and converted him into
a quarterback this year. BY that shift
Eastern virtually has clinched its
first interhigh series championship In
40 years, for it was the scrappy, yet
calm and brainy Kemp who mainly
put Eastern at the top of the heap.
1t was Kemp who plucked high,
wide pass from Zeke Cliff, Eastern
center, and, in one motion, swept the
ball in position for Millar's game
winning placement. 1t was Kemp who

thwarted a Tech drive in the second
period on the 10-yard line by crashing
in to smear Swarr, Maroon back, for
a 5-yard loss. Yet when Eastern fol-
lowers rushed on the field and hoisted
players on their shoulders, Kemp was
neglected.

Eastern Strikes in Third,

CONFINED chiefly to its own terri
tory throughout the first half
largely due to the punting of Jack
Belote, crack Tech back, Eastern struck
sharply in the third period and pushed
across touchdown before Tech could
recover from Hal Speith's 45-yard re-
turn of the kickoff to the Tech 35.
Speith and Al Kidwell collaborated
in advancing the leather to Techs 19-
yard line and Kidwell then passed to
Kemp for first down on the 8. Kid
we'll lost yards at right end and
Kemp was able to come back only to
the 9 over left guard.
With those 9 yards still remaining
on third down, Kemp scooted toward
right end on the next play, apparently
headed for an end sweep. He sud-
denly pivoted, broke in. the opposite
direction and wheeled around to shoot
strike to Wade, standing alone in
the end zone. Millar rushed from the
bench. kicked the extra point and re-
turned to the bench for the remainder
of the game.
Tech retaliated in the waning mo-
ments of the fourth quarter after be-
ing backed to its own 14-yard line by
Doc Murray's healthy punt and Is
yard penalty for clipping. Belote
circled right end, cut back through the
middle of the field and romped down.
field.
Tech Drives to Touchdown.
TRAILING by at least is yards as
Belote crossed midfield apparently
headed for a touchdown, the fleet
Speith, who chose timely spot to un-
veil his finest brand of football, closed
the gap gradually and finally nailed
Belote on the 4-yard line. Both boys
remained on the ground, out of sheer
exhaustion.
Henry Rassier gobbled up the re-
manning distance, but Tech needed
four downs to get those yards through
an Eastern line that was keyed to its
highest pitch of effectiveness.
Belote then cody lined up to snatch
at least a tie by converting the extra
point. In previous games, he had ac-
counted for points in six efforts,
but Bob STANCE, Eastern guard. smash
ed through Techs forward wall and
hurled his chest in front of the oval
to assure Eastern its most coveted
triumph since 1897.
Tech threatened twice in the second
period after the teams had engaged
in lengthy punting duel in the first
quarter. The Maroon outfit advanced
to Eastern's 10-yard line before Kemp
tossed Swarr back yards. Paul
Kobre, Eastern tackle, followed this by
dropping Belote for 15-yard loss as
the Tech back sought vainly to shoot
fourth-down pass. Tech again
threatened in the final seconds of the
second period on a 23-yard pass from
Belote to Walter Connolly to the 25-
yard line, but the timekeeper's whistle
terminated the touchdown gesture.
Tech still has faint chance Of tying
Eastern for the title. but the Lincoln
Parkers must lose to Western and Tech
trim Central for deadlock to result.

N YEW YORK, Nov. 10.-The
N current policy of reduction in
VI the number of men on the
4 forward line of defense will
be followed by important changes in
the game of football, according to
Harry Ellinger of Dartmouth, one of
the great line coaches in the inter-
collegiate game.
"I am quite sure" he said to the
writer, that, among other things,
the offense will be forced to return
to the old unit line charge. AS the
plan has been perfected to date, it is
already difficult for blocking guards
and other linemen with interference
duties to attend to their formal in
dividual assignments, and soon 1 be-
lieve it will be impossible.
1T is the most significant develop
ment have seen in football in long
time and various offensive operations
other than the one I have referred
to will be changed if the rule makers
do not interfere, and I doubt that they
will"
Makes Speedy Shifts.
A SIDE from Harry Ellinger, Yale's
five-man line, in spite of the fact
that it can, and often does, become
six or even a seven-man line upon
the swapping of the ball, has attract
ed a great deal of attention from
members of the Rules Committee and
others of legal bent.
Rutgers has been experimenting
successfully with four-man line and
other important college elevens have
reduced the forward wall in varying
degree.
On the West Coast lot is being
done in this respect; so much. in fact,
that certain coaches, Howard Jones,
for one, have suggested that a rule be
put in the code stipulating how many
forwards shall be on the line of scrim-
mage when the ball is put into play.
The merit of the operation is, OF
course, obvious If the offensive play
ers do not know how, or where, to meet
their assignments; if they do not have
definitely located opponents at which
to shoot, how can maneuvers be per-
formed with any gertrude? Your
blocking guard is certainly, at a loss
if he is not sure where he will find
the man he is to put out of the play.
Gives Deception to Defense.
WHAT is happening is that the de-
=" fense is assuming a lot of the
deception of the attack. 1t is as GER
tain as anything can be that the Rules
Committee will do nothing to detract
from a new phase of football which
does so much to make defense posi-
tive rather than negative and which
iniects into the game of football
wealth of interesting possibilities in
volving technique which coaches
will have to learn and which players
will have to operate.
More headaches for the coaches but
a whole lot of additional fun for the
spectators.

So far, the passing attack has not
