Fire of Texas Tech

BY GRANTLAND RICE,
Special Correspondent Of The Star.

PASADENA, Calf, Dec. 3d.
When it comes to the matter of put
ting high-class talent on the field
under waving palms and sunny skies,
Miami's Orange Bowl has nothing
to yawn about.
doubt that the Nation at large
has any better all-around football
team than Bob Neyland's Volunteers
from Knoxville, and Oklahoma Is q
busy afternoon for anybody in sight.
Tennessee comes close to being
the best rounded squad in the coun-
try, when it comes to both offense
and defense and variety of play
Back of big, strong line it has the
ball carriers, the blockers, the pass
ers and the kickers.
Any offense that can run up 90
points against Mississippi and Ken
lucky is packed with nitroglycerine.
You can gamble on that. No other
team has a larger group of out
standing stars-I mean such as
Wyatt, Cafego, Suffridge, Wood, to
name a few.
It is team that can strike along
the turf or through the air And,
as Coach Bill Alexander of Georgia
Tech puts it, "One of the best and
hardest blocking teams I've seen in
years. And this goes for the same
brand of tackling."
You also can travel around the
narrow girth of this globe to find
better coach than Bob Neyland.

slight advantage in both depart

Oklahoma's best chance must
come through the air. I doubt that
the Sooner land attack can puncture

West opened a low heart-a some
what doubtful lead-because he was
very much afraid that his normal
lead Of a spade would be directly into
an ace-jack-ten tenace And now
declarer made his stupid play. Al
though he was reasonably certain
that dummy's nine would hold the
trick, he went up with the ace, since
he was in deadly fear that West might
shift to spade before his diamond
suit was established.
A diamond lead was won bv Vests
king, and now that player, convinced
that his partner held the heart king
continued that suit with tragic re-
suits, since declarer now won with the
king of hearts and led the queen of
diamonds, establishing the suit. Now
West cashed one of his hearts and
then led the king of spades. De-
clarer won with the ace and claimed
the balance, making four-odd.
Vests psychology was very poor.
Actually he should have been very
suspicious of declarer's first play and
reasoned as follows: Either de-
clarer or my partner holds the king
of hearts. In either case declarers
normal play is the heart nine, since
by means of that play he will retain
defense against the heart suit. In
stead, the fact that he has gone right
up with the ace can mean but one
thing-namely, that he is deathly
afraid of another suit, which must be
spades"
If West had reasoned in that man
ner, he would have shifted to the
spade king and would have beaten
the hand two tricks.

AUTOMOBILE DEDUCTIONS

AUTOMOBILE DEDUCTIONS
 With the number of automobile owners registering in the millions, the question of deductions for the cost of operation and main- tenance of motor car frequently arises. The purchase price of an automobile, whether it is to be used for business or pleasure, can- not be deducted from gross in- come If used for business, it is capital expenditure; if used for pleasure, it is personal expendi- ture-both deductions being ex- pressly prohibited by the income tax law.
 Several deductions, however, are allowable in connection with the cost of maintenance and oper- stion of an automobile, used either for business or pleasure. Ii used exclusively for business. de- auctions may be taken for the cost of gasoline, oil, repairs, gar age rent, and other necessary operation and upkeep expenses. Depreciation based on the cost of the car and it's estimated use- ful life, also is deductible.
 Other deductible items are as follows: Sums paid during the taxable year for registration fees, drivers licenses, personal-property tax, and municipal taxes: interest on money borrowed for the pur- chase of a motor car, either for business or for pleasure; loss sus- tained by reason of damage while car is being used for business, provided such loss is not covered by insurance or otherwise; dam ages paid for injury to another, provided that the car was being used for business at the time, and the damage was not covered by insurance or otherwise; and the amount paid for insurance on motor vehicles used for business purposes.

their cars. While Commissioner Mi chael A. Connor is interested ili registration plates for commercial vehicles, cars used for 'combina- ton" purposes, cabs, etc., his main interest at this time is in the regis tration plates for the private motor vehicle, the passenger car" as it is styled on the records of the Mo- tor Vehicle Department.
 Every passenger car owner who fails to have his vehicle registra- ton renewed on or before Monday, February 28th, will be required to return to the department nine ounces of aluminium" stated the commissioner today in referring to the need for greater immediate re- sponse by motor vehicle owners to registration renewal requirements. "The plates on all Connecticut registered motor vehicles belong to the state, but we are especially in- terested in the markers for pas- senger cars because if the owner of such vehicle does not renew the 1887 registration for his passenger car he must, by law, return the two number plates to the State Department of Motor Vehicles. Each pair of plates weighs nine ounces, so we have about 106,250 pounds of of aluminium or more than fifty-three tons of the metal on the road at the present time"
 Passenger car owners who have nailed each years number plates to the walls of their garages will find the practice stopped with their 1886 markers, as the present 1887 plates must be kept on their vehicles when registrations are renewed, or else returned to the Motor Vehicle Department. The Commissioner en- phasized that the new registration system, with the certificates con- pleted in advance awaiting the call of the car owners, shows at glance those who failed to renew 1887 reg istrations. These individuals will be officially notified to turn in the 1887 plates and, failure to do so will re- suit in court action by the depart ment.

Street of Political Dead Ones" In Versailles
 Greets Its New Neighbors, The Wmdsors
BY MILTON BRONNER NEA Service Staff Correspondent

NEA Service Staff Correspondent
 Paris, Feb. 2S-Announcing their desire to have the privacy and ob- scurity accorded to ordinary folk, Edward and Wallis Windsor have fittingly enough settled in the Street of the Political Dead Ones" in Versailles.
 Officially, of course, the street on which is situated their rented Cha teau de la Nave, is known as Rue du Parc-de Clagny. Just as, in real ity, the Chateau is not Chateau at all. It is just pleasant, countrified house which belongs to Madame Dupuy, the American woman who owns great Paris newspapers.
 The street has been called that of the Dead Ones because of some of the neighbors of the Duke of Wind- sor. In the near vicinity, for in- stance, there dwells the widow of the former King of Portugal, Manoel the Unhappy. For years, like an un- easy, pale ghost, he wandered a. round Paris and London, waiting, hoping against hope for a call back to his throne and country. It never came. And now of course, his widow knows it can never come to her.
 Almost the next door neighbor of the Windsors is Alexander Millerand. This one-time Socialist politician moved ever more steadily to the Right, gathered in high offices as he went and finally became President of the republic. But not for long. The parties of the Left got power in the French Parliament. They so hated Millerand and some of the things he did, which seemed like as- sumption of real authority, that they forced him out of office before his term expired, Millerand is still a Senator, but politically he is corpse.
 Being such street, the windows of the houses in the Rue du Pare de-Clancy remain shuttered until late in the morning. There is no special reason why the inhabitants cAlObAo SCV uP lC WI have already followed this fashion. With all time on his hands, there is no reason why the Duke should hustle out with the early birds to get in his golf game.
 The moving of the Windsors to the chateau has ceased to be a seven days wonder to the natives. Outside of few newspaper men and photo graphers, nobody hangs around ex- cept some small, ambitious trades men, anxious to sell the Windsors their meal and groceries and other household needs.
 One privileged person is the little "facteur," the letter carrier who brings the mail to the folks in this street. But he no longer cherishes any illusions. The first day he came to No. 47 with mail, there was no holding him. Where tradesmen and newspaper people were chased away by the flies" he was privileged. He had registered letters. He would see the Duke because, of course, the Duke would sign for his mail. But bitter disappointment! The nearest he got to the Duke was his secretary who signed for appointment!
