Americana by Ford. Henry Ford's collection Of early American landmarks and antiques was richer today by one 1O5yeard covered wooden bridge of hand heWn oak timbers connecting Washington and Greene counties in southwestern Pennsylvania. The span = historic Ackev's Bridge was donated to Ford's collection at Dearborn Mich by Mrs Lucille Evans whose home is on the farm from which the timbers for the bridge was taken Mrs. Evans recently purchased the structurt
 modern bridge built to replace it. Despite it's age the bridge in excellent state of preservation Expert worken supervised by Charles T.

Q. How are the non- Roman denominations in America re- ceiving the idea of a World Council of Churches?
 A. With very large degree of favor and acceptance so far as present indications show. Though the proposal was made no earlier than at the Oxford and Edinburgh Conferences last summer, thirty-two denomina- tions sent electors to a meeting in Washington, January 11-13, to choose representatives to a meeting to be held in Utrecht, Holland, in May, to draw up a constitution fo rthe proposed World Council of Churches, to be submitted to the churches all over the world for their action. The participation of all the larger denominations in the United States, including not only the Protestant Churches but the Episcopalians. the East ern Orthodox and the National Polish Catholic Churches, in the Utrecht Conference is al- ready assured. The Canadian Churches have selected two delegates and the United States will send ten, with possibly two to be added. Tn the case of the smaller denominations several are uniting in naming 8 single delegate. There will be sixty members in all at this confer ence at Utrecht.
 Q. What is the tradition be- hind the Hebrew song, "ShOlem Alechem?"
 A. The background of the Hebrew song, "Sholem Alech- en-" more properly transliter- ated "Shalom Alekem," is the statement of Rabbi Jose Judah in Treatise Shabbat 119B, that when 8 man goes home on the Sabbath eve from synagogue, he is accompanied by two angels.
 The song apparently presumes that they are both good angels. However, in the original state ment, one is described as a good angel and one as an evil angel. If the house is in order and ready for the Sabbath, the good angel says, rmay the same peace be found also on the next Sabbath" to. which the evil angel answers Amen" 1e the

sandlot play, three in athletic club,
in high school and two in college.
The high school mark was the best
since records have been available,
said DR.. Eastwood.
Since 1881, the survey pointed out,
college fatalities have been reduced
rs per cent, sandlot 60 and high
school 1919. Athletic clubs number
the same as in 1881 although 81
lower than the peak year of 1885.
It was estimated the average in
cidence of high school and college
fatalities per 100000 exposures since
1881 (3.16) is 10 times less than mo-
tor vehicle fatalities (318) for the
same age group Q5-24.
Tackling Most Hazardous.
The report also disclosed:
For the first time since the yearly
survey was started death occurred
in Arizona. Leading the fatality toll
since 1881 were Pennsylvania (32),
New York (25), Illinois Q5), Texas
and New Jersey 12) and California

The greatest number of fatalities

ing the first Is minutes of a game
The first five minutes were found
the most hazardous. Halfbacks were
the most frequent victims, guards
the least. The head, spinal cord and
abdomen were the parts of the body
most frequently injured in fatal
accidents and were the result of
tackling (43 per cent?, blocking Q1)

Horse Racing and Prospect
OF Dull Tilt May Scalp
Rose Bowl ScuIpers,

public include the annually dis
couraging fact that few outsiders
can get their hands on the Brilliant
ly tinted pasteboards through the
regular channels and the COM
petitive presence Of laundering
thoroughbreds at Santa Anita track,
across town.
OF course Southern California,
Duke and the Tournament OF Roses
Association have only an outside
interest in whether all the seats are
taken, since the 90,O00-odd tickets
to the bowl have been sold once and
the more than $500 900 in cash is in
the till, to be divided after the
game.
This isn't the first year the scalp
ers in turn were scalped. But from
their point of view the situation is
worse than before, because the top
price obtained for $40 seats was
only $40, as compared with $25 and
up during hysterical early rushes
in several recent years.
Gittleson Bros, ticket brokers, who
advertised q year ago seeking to
buy tickets at a premium, instead
were advertising best" seats for
sale today for a dollar handling
charge above the cost price.
The professional scalpers, who
like to unload before the amateur"
Spectators move into hotel lobbies
and swarm around each new ar
rival, were buying only the best and
few Of these.
The fact that Southern Califor-
mia has been q favorite to win and
retain its perfect Rose Bowl rec
ord probably has had no effect on
the situation, since the odds against
Duke have shortened to 2 to l In
the last few days.
Fair Weather Forecast.
Only one element favored those
who find themselves caught with q
fist full Of tickets. That was the
long-range forecast of Weather Ex-
pert DR.. Irving p. Krick that all
signs point to fast field Monday.
This will meet with the approval
not only of the spectators but also
the opposing camps. Coach Howard
Jones Trojans lost the lone game
they played this year on soggy
field, and Coach Wallace Wade Of
the invaders has done his share Of
worrying, too.

Vines to Be Serious Golfer
If Budge Conquers Him

don't see any sense, In risking my
legs and ankles on a tennis court
against a man I can't beat.
my golf's getting better right
along. In my last 10 rounds over the
San Gabriel (Calif) course was
IS under par. It's par II layout
and I had a 65, 66 and 81. You see,
I've got a big advantage over q lot
Of amateur golfers. I can go out to
the course and start practicing at 8
in the morning and stay right there
until 8 at night if I want to. Doing
that I'm bound to improve.
Maybe the reason I've gone 80
crazy about golf is that every course
I play is different from the last,
whereas tennis court is always the
same. Besides, I've been at the top
in tennis and now I'd like to be the
top in something else"
If he does get beaten this winter
and gives up the pro game, Vines
said there was only one thing that
would ever bring him back to COM

Safer Griidiron

Of Code Changes

DENVER, Dec. 30.-Instead Of re-
writing the gridiron code book the
National Football Rules Committee
at its meeting at Colorado Springs
next week, it was believed here to-
day, will stress making grid equip
ment safer for the players.
Louis H. Mahony Of Denver,
Rocky Mountain representative on
the committee, predicted the meet
ing would be one Of the quietest in
years.
II haven't heard much about rules
changes" said Mahony, who is man.
ager of athletics at Denver Uni
versity.
Would Change Pass Rule.
There is the usual talk about
changing the rules to allow passing
anywhere behind the line and abol.
ishing the try for extra point, but
I haven't heard of any concerted
support behind these proposals. The
idea this year seems to be to let
the rules alone"
Mahony said he favors abolish
ing the rule requiring the passer to
be yards behind the line of scrim-
mage. He also believes ineligible
linemen should be restricted from
going downfield under passes, and
the penalty on downfield laterals
inadvertently thrown forward should
be lessened to yards from the
point of the pass.
Wants Game Shortened.
Another idea Mahonly indorses is
some plan to cut down the actual
elapsed time from kickoff whistle to
final gun but admitted the problem
is difficult of solution, mainly be-
cause of the time taken up with
substitutions.
In late fall, with the sun setting
early behind the 14000-foot conti-
mental divide. games in the Rockies
eastern sector often are finished in
fast-gathering gloom.
The rules meeting will start Mon
day at the Broadmoor Hotel, set
close under the mountains sur.
rounding famous Pixies Peak.

far as the scalpers are concerned,
the bottom apparently had dropped
out of the Rose Bowl ticket market
today.
Some of the best seats in the
blossom-festooned stadium, where
Southern California and Duke clash
in the 33d annual grid game, were
available for a small premium. And
the possibility was not at all remote
that some of the speculstors will
have to unload at par or less before
the contest.
A number of circumstances have
contributed to- this situation, and
perhaps not the least of these Is
growing belief that these two power
