"BONER AWARD
IS TO CETCkELL
Referee S Error Hurt
Chances of Carnegie
Tech Eleven

SOUTH BEND, Ind, Nov. IT,
Unless the waning weeks produce
a more serious error, the boner-ot-
the-year award" in sports may go
TO John Getchell of Minneapolis.
1t was Referee Getchell's decision
that set the scenery for N ot r e
Danes slender football victory over
Carnegie Tech.
And, it now appears, that de2l-
ion may have great bearing on the
mythical national gridiron cham
pionship.
With the score at 90 and Car
nege outfront generally in the
atatistics columns. Getchell err
rcneously told the Tartan quarter
back that it was third down. After
Carnegie had made running play
Getchell found that it actually was
fourth down. He awarded the ball
to the Irish over strenuous Car
negie protests.
Notre Dame scored within a few
moments with the only points of
the game
Many authorities suggested Get
chell should have called the play
back, upon discovering his mis-
take, and given Carnegie an OPP
portunity to kick out of danger.
On the other hand it was the
Carnegie quarterback's job to
know the down. He could have
checked with the scoreboard or
with the headlinesman. The men,
tai slip was his as we'll as Get
chelIs. And it must be remembered
that the Irish moved some 40 long
Yards for their touchdown. That
can't be charged against the
referee.
Nevertheless, had it not been for
Getchell's error, the game might
have ended in a scoreless tie,
eliminating both Notre Dame and
Carnegie from the perfect slate
list. Or in a triumph for Carnegie.
AS it has turned out Carnegie
ACCOMPLISHED one of the most stun
ming upsets of the season in its
triumph over Pittsburgh, ranked
by most experts as the country's
best. The Tartans have only Du-
uuesne and North Carolina State
to play. They will be heavily
favored to win these.
So Getchell will be remembered
around Carnegie as the official
who dealt a death blow to the
Tartan's hopes for claim to the
national championship.

Good men can sail poor ships. but
poor men cannot sail good ships "
commented Admiral Emory S. Land,

The schools will be located on Hoff-

Later, Admiral Land said. it is
planned to establish a training school
for merchant marine officers at New

The Coast Guard will have charge
Of the courses. There will be facilities
for about 5000 men and 300 officers
each year.
Because of acute unemployment in
the maritime industry, Admiral Land
announced, only unemployed seamen
who have had two years sea service
will be eligible for training at the
start.
Unlicensed seamen will receive S36

period, with allowances for clothing,
subsistence and quarters Licensed
men will receive SIPS a month and
quarters.
The new maritime service Admiral
Land said, will not supersede the cadet

training for officers on Government
owned and Government-su subsidized

NEW YORK, July 20.-Even as Irish
airfield attendants were wagging their

news and picture correspondents were
scoring brace of decisive beats Mon
day on the unheralded arrival of the
casual young flyer from California.
The Associated Press news corre-

Corrigan's landing in the now cele-
brated 5000 "crate."
AS soon as the news flash was re-

photo editors there snapped into ac-

on the telephone. Out he whisked to
Baldonnel Airfleld, where Corrigan still
chatted with surprised officials.
Charter Fast Plane.
While he snapped and developed his
pictures, the photo editors, despite
Jammed telephone wires, were charter
ing the fastest twin -engined plane
available at the field to speed the pic
lures to London. Their coordination
made 1t possible to transmit the pic
lures to New York by wireless in time

WAGE-HOURLAW
HEADS TO COURTS
Old Interstate Commerce
Question Is First Big
Problem Under Act.
By he Associated Press.

bv me Associated Press.
The old question of what consti-
tutes interstate commerce, point
of legal controversy throughout the
Roosevelt administration, is develop
ing as the first big problem of the new
wage-hour administration.
Government attorneys studying the
question say that when the answer
finally is written it will come not from
Administrator Elmer F.. Andrews, who
has charge Of enforcing the new la
Dor law, but from the courts.
There are predictions in Govern
ment circles that in view of inquiries
already coming in from business men
throughout the country, a large
amount of litigation will arise over
this subject. ~
No Power to Decide.
One attorney said the law as drawn
gave the administrator no power to
decide which individual businesses
come within its provisions. This, he
said, has created an element of un-
certainty for businesses on the bor-
oerllne of interstate commerce.
He gave this example:
A furniture manufacturer who sells
sll his finished products in the State
IN which he operates buys his lumber
from outside the State. Uncertain
whether he should comply with the
Wage-hour law, he asks the admins
traitor for an opinion. The admins
TRAITOR can give him no official opinion
under the law.
He can. however, give his unofficial
view. which might be that the manu-
facturer was not subject to the law.
If the manufacturer operated on that
basis, he still would be liable to civil
suit by his employees or to criminal
action by the Government should one
or the other decide that perhaps he
ought to be operating under the law.
Court Must Interpret.
Thus the court would have to inter-
preC the interstate commerce clause
Of the Constitution in order to de-
eide the suit.
The wage-hour law will become
effective October "a. 1t provides that
virtually all businesses m interstate
commerce must then begin paying
minimum wage of 25 cents an hour
and working employees not more than
A hours week.
Labor Department authorities say
that the hours provision will affect
many more workers than the wage
provision. 1t specifies that an en-
ploye must be paid time and half
for overtime-whether his hourly rate
is 25 cents or s25.

DUBLIN, July 20.-Ireland's new
President honored Americas new avia-
ton hero today by receiving him in
Dublin's imposing presidential palace.
Splck and span in new clothes,
Douglas G. Corrigan drove from the
United States Legation to the palace.
There the 78-year-ol President Doug
las Hyde and the young Californian
anlmatedly discussed the latter's amaz-
ing flight from New York to Dublin.
Yesterday New York-born Prime
Minister Eamon de Valera congratu-
lated Corrigan on his exploit.
Earlier in the day Corrigan cut loose
in big Dublin clothing store. He
bought two suits of sober hue and a
bright sports coat and flannel trousers
IN preparation for his return-by
steamer-to the United States.
Corrigans latest idea is to fly around
the Elffel Tower in Paris.
Experimental License Suspended.
He probably won't. because he has
to be getting home before long, and
the United States Government has
suspended his experimental license.
Here's how the situation shaped up
today for the 31-year-old Californian
aviator extraordinary and master of
understatement, who still insists
compass error took him across the At
lantic instead of to California:
He'd like to go places" London first

interest him, but II am not inter-
ested in money. I can get sufficient
fun and satisfaction from life with

always seem to get along,"- to Ireland
or California, take choice.
The Irish government released his
5000 outmoded plane, which he landed
here without the usual legal formal
lties. but he can't fly it to London be-
cause he had only the special license
to fiy from Los Angeles to New York
and back, and that's suspended.
But I suppose I could fly, though,

plane) over to show the King, or some
thing like that
