BARBER SHOPS HOURS
Bill in the Legislature To Fix 8
A. M. to Z p. Nj. Limits

A. M. to Z p. Nj. Limits
Rep. Frank R. Zebley introduced
a bill in the House Friday to regu-
late barber shops, promote fair
trade practices, and fix the hours
shops could be open. BARRIERS
would be prohibited from using
outdoor advertising and could be
open from s a. m. to z p. m, ex-
cept on days preceding holidays
when the hours would be extended
to p. m. On payment of $100 a
shop could be open at other times
than those fixed in the bill. When
such places were supposed to be
closed the window shades would
have to be drawn. All BARRIERS
would be required to pay 81 to the
Board of Examiners of BARRIERS to
defray the cost of carrying the act
into effect. For violating any sec
tion, fine of S10O or one month in
Jail are provided. The bill would
apply only to BARRIERS in Whining
ton and Mr.. Zebley said it has the
approval of the BARRIERS associa-
tion in Wilmington.

I often wonder if we ever realize
as we should the supreme import
ance of love? Is not love Gods
highest will for man?
When we speak of love we are
indeed, in the mountain country OF
God.
Many tourists often wait for
days in he Alpine villages, hoping
that the mistS that hover about
the stupendous heights might
break away sufficiently to afford
them glimpse of the glory of tn.
sun-kissed peaks.
But no less sublime are those
spiritual heights of faith and hope
which reach higher toward heaven
than all other attitudes of goodness
and of virtue, with the exception,
however, of that stupendous height
which pierces heaven itself, the
lofty Matterhorn of Love.
As a certain writer beautifully
says: ITO love Jesus and to be
conscious that He loves us is to ex-
perience the holiest and the hap
piest emotion of the human heart.
And naturally, the highest ideal of
heavenly bliss is an eternal union
with Him-to be where He is and
to be like Him.
Who can read the Scriptures and
not read of love?
When we turn to Romans we
read: Love one another with
brotherly love-" We turn to Gal
atians and read: by. love serve
one another" We open Ephesians
and read: walk in love, as
Christ" We leaf over to Colos-
slams and read: Being knit to-
gether In love-" And to the Thes-
salonians and read: Abound In
love one to another" We turn to
the beloved Apostle John and read:
God is love, and he that abideth
In love abideth in God and God in
him."

c. U. TOUCHDOWN
RULED LEGAL

Just so far as the football rules
committee is concerned, the
Georgetown.New York University
football game is finished. The
touchdown was legally scored, and
there can be no review of the
facts.
Jack Weinheimer, former New
York backfield star contended
that when. Bloom recovered a
Georgetown tumble behind the
line, the play should have ended
then and there. Bloom fumbled
when hit and Frank recovered for
Georgetown and a winning touch
down. =
Weinheimer recited the rules
which state that if the team in
possession of the ball, fumbles
and the ball, after striking the
ground is recovered by an oppo-
nent, it is dead at the point of
recovery and may not be ad-
vanced.
Bill Langford settled the con-
troversy by saying that a touch
down was scored when the team in
possession of the ball, carried 1t
across, on or above the goal line.
The Washington times., 1937-11-16

made fine use Of the flat pass
against Penn State on Saturday,
with Weidinger passing to Jim
Meade.
Georgetown rather fancies its
chances against the Old Liners on
Saturday. Some Of the more en-
thusiaStic Hoyas are giving two
touchdowns with their bet. And
that's a lot of touchdownS against
that Maryland outfit.
There just is no substitute for
power, and If you doubt that state
ment, look at Pittsburgh. The
Panther marched 80 yards against
Nebraska without the use of a
pass. Five man line or eight man
line mattered little to the Panther.
It Just claWed its way along with
Stebbins, Goldberg and Patrick
doing a lot Of great work.
Admitted that it took tumble
to give Pitt its shot at the winning
touchdown, fumbleS are as much
a part Of the game as a run off
tackle or a field goal.
North Carolina certainly dumped

IL was a leLCer TO promoter
Mike Jacobs from the anti-Nazi
people, notifying him that he
would put on the Schmeling-
Harry Thomas fight at Madison
Square Garden next month
strictly at his own risk.
In other words, they have
declared another boycott against
Schmeling here, the same kind by
the same people who forced
Schmeling out of a heavyweight
title fight last June.
SIGNED BY UNTERMYER
The communication, which was
signed by the league president,
Samuel Untermyer. famous cor.
poration attorney, informed the
promoter that its members and
supporters" would be urged to
boycott the Thomas fight, explain
ing that it objected to Schmeling
taking his share Of the purse back
with him for use in Germany.
What it will be prepared to do
in the event of Schmeling being
in a position to make the heavy
weight championship back with
him can only be Surmised.

BEVAN ON SPOT

ANN ARBOR, Mich, NOV. 10.
Charges that a Tulane University
assistant football coach sought to
proselyte a star freshman athlete
after he had rnatriculated at the
University of Michigan were made
today in a copyrighted story in
the Michigan Daily, official stu
dent newspaper.
The paper published a photo-en-
graved copy OF the telegram al
legedly sent to Tom Harmon,
Gary, Ind, by Bill Bevan, the as
sistant coach who was a former
All-American with Minnesota.
The telegram said:
Your help at Simon Pure
School will always be subject
to criticism. Our offer still
stands. Wire me collect New Or
leans Monday. Can still enter
this semester. Bill Bevan."
The reference to criticism was
made because Harmon, rated the
nations outstanding prep athlete
by Fielding H. Yost, Michigan di-
rector of athletics, last year, was
one of the freshmen athletes men.
toned in an internal probe into
alleged proselyting on the Michi-
ban campus last week.
Two copyrighted stories were
written by Michigan daily sports
writer's.
LISAGOR WRITES
Sports Editor Lisagor said:
Reliable informers told the
daily last night that Tulane'S
offer, as is the custom among
Southern schools which abide by
this proSelyting practice, prob
ably included allowances for
board, room, tuition, laundry,
books, clothes and from $40 to
$40 spending money a month.
Exceptional athletes are further
proffered a flat sum to tide
them over the idle summer
months, these informerS re.
ported.
Although Harmon was re.
luctant to reveal other bids
which he had received, he did
name five Western Conference
schools which wrangled for his
services. These included Pur-
due, Illinois. Indiana, Chicago
and Northwestern. Among
other well-known universities
that sought him were Alabama,
Louisiana State, Yale, Prince
ton. Michigan State, Southern
California, Pittsburgh. Cornell
and Washington"
ANOTHER STORY
In another story, Bud Benjamin
wrote of Bevan, All-American
guard with Minnesota:
"On December 5, 1884, the
Western Conference faculty
committee on athletics investi-
gated football conditions at
Minnesota and Bevan'S papers
were found wanting.
"It was revealed at that time
he had attended the University
Of Oregon in 1882 and played
freshman football. When Coach
D. w. Doc Spears left the
Coast, Bevan came back home.
He played for the Gophers in
1888 and 1884, after which pc
riod he was a junior in good :
standing and ready for another
year of competition. But at
Oregon, Bevan had played in
ter-freshman football, competing
against yearling teams of other
universities. This violated Big
Ten rule which made this type
Of competition count as a year
in collegiate circles"
