roll out the mat. With the mat laid, a
light coat of cut-back was applied or
logged" over the entire mat. For this,
which is called the "seal-coat" the
asphalt was heated to temperature of
200 degrees F. The purpose of the seal
coat is to close all of the pores in the
mat in order to keep out all moisture
from rain or snow. In all operations
on 88, total of 100000 gallons or IA
tank cars of cut-back asphalt were
used.
Work on the blacktop was supervised
by Commissioner Joseph Veranth, Emil
F. KoSh, northern division construction
engineer, E. A. Norby and William Lind
gren, district engineers.
At the present time, Highway No. n,
which starts at the "Y," four miles out
of Tower and goes around Lake Ver-
million, is being prepared for miles of
blacktop application. A two-mile re-
vision of this highway is being COM
pleted which when finished will elm
mate several miles of roundabout
travel and numerous, dangerous curves
The revision will lead from the "Y''
direct to the state fish hatchery and
join II at the Angus corner. Gravel is
now being hauled on the highway in
preparation for blacktop surfacing.
Much credit for the extensive black
top program being completed in the
Fourth district this year is due Com
missioner Joseph Veranth, who initiated
the work three years ago with planned
road program for the district which
called for bringing up to standard speci-
fications and blacktopping of the
heaviest travelled highways. With 80
miles of blacktopping work being done
in the entire st. Louis County this
year, it was through the foresight of
road program that has enabled the
Fourth district to do 40 miles of such
work

Improve Football Code

MIR. JOHN @. SPECTATOR will
AvA see more scoring in college
football games next fall If the foot
ball coaches who recently decreed
two major changes in the rules are
correct in their predictions.
Coaches agreed that there have
been too many tie games, that there
has not been enough scoring in re-
cent years. They admitted that the
defense has been emphasized with
not enough attention paid to the Of
Tense. The Importance of victory
has been so strongly stressed that
coaches have been trying too hard
to keep the opposition from scoring.
And here's what the members of the
national football rules committee
did about It'll
1. They decided to allow three
incomplete forward passes to be
thrown into the end zone in the
same series of downs without
tOuchback being ruled and the ball
going to the other team.
2. They decreed that the ball
should be brought i'm fifteen yards
from the side line instead of ten
on out-of-bounds plays.
Advantages cited by coaches in
the changes are these: The new
rule allowing three incomplete for
ward passes into the end zone will
help the offense near the goal line.
1t will force the defense to stay back
and guard against possible Sec
ond or third pass after one has been
incomplete. The rule moving the
ball fifteen yards in from the side
lines will give the offensive team
a better chance to execute plays.
The professionals have that rule.
Many authorities regretted the
coaches decision not to permit for
ward passing from any point back
of the line of scrimmage, instead
of retaining the five yard rule. Such
a change, they predict will come
next year and bring the college
game more i'm line with the pro
game.

Thorpe's Sad Example

But we haven't yet mentioned the
most famous example of our thesis
Jim Thorpe. Thorpe, recognized
as probably the greatest all-around
football player in sports history, al
so tried to become professional
baseball player.
John McGraw, manager of the
New York Giants, liked him and
after giving him a seasoning in va
rious minor leagues, found spot
for him in the Giants outfield. The
great Indian was undeniably a good
box office attraction. He could field
pretty well, throw accurately and
run the bases like deer. But to
save his neck he couldn't hit a curve
ball. The pitchers got his number
in a hurry and thereafter he was
helpless at the plate. After few
months McGraw had to give him
up.
Besides Thorpe there are other
sad examples. Ernie Nevers, the
All-American back of Stanford, was
q dismal failure when the st. Louis
Browns tried to turn him into
diamond performer and Earl Cald-
well, famous Yale back, faded rap
idly when the Cleveland Indians put
4 uniform ON him.
Why do they fail? Big league club
trainers offer one answer. They say
that college football tightens and
weighs down a young mans mus
cles enough to handicap him for the
specialized movements necessary in
major league competition.
Maybe Sammy Baugh hasn't be-
come musclebound. He may have
kept out of enough line plays and
may have devoted himself so spe-
cially to the throwing of passes and
the running of ends that he will have
just the combination Of qualities to
make good when he works out with
the Cardinals. But il history of grid
stars in organized baseball is sur
veyed, the odds are all against him.

Senators Hear About Autos

"A FTER listening for two days to
"A government officials, the SEN
ate committee studying unemploy-
ment and relief turned to industrial
leaders for information and advice.
1t began with the automotive indus
try, receiving long and exhaustive
statement from the Automobile
Manufacturers association which
includes all the most important con-
Germs in the industry except the
Ford company.
Major points in the statement
were:
In 1887, 100000 automobiles
were produced in the United States,
10 per cent less than in 1929.
Employment averaged 1900,
largest ever and 16 per cent above
1929.
The automobile industry was the
only one having an increase in labor
cost per unit of output since 1929.
Weekly earnings of workers aver.
aged $32.04 for first eight months
of 1887.
At present dealers have on hand
about 100000 new cars, largest
since 1880; manufacturers have
very large inventories of parts and
sub-assemblies.
Hourly wage rates are 80 per cent
above 1929, all direct manufacture
ing costs equal to 1929, but auto
prices per pound are still Is per
cent below 1929.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1938-01-21

pointed to the Supreme court by
President Harding in 1922. He was
born in Buckinghamshire, England,
and was brought to the United
States in his infancy. He was iden-
titled with the conservative wing of
the court.
Immediately upon the announce
ment of Sutherland S retirement, ev-
eryone began guessing as to his suc-
cessor. 1t was taken for granted
that Mr.. Roosevelt would select a
liberal.
Prominent among those men,
toned for the place was Senator
Sherman Minton of Indiana,
steadfast supporter of the New
Deal. If the appointment goes to
the Middle West, Gov. Frank Muir
ply of Michigan seemed to stand
good chance. Except for the fact
that New York state already has
three men in the court, Senator Rob-
ert F. Wagner would be near the top
of the list of possibilities. Solicitor
General Stanley Reed of Kentucky
was the favorite of many, but there
are two other southerners on the
bench. Others suggested were Judge
William Denman of California,
Lloyd K. Garrison of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin, and Donald Rich
berg, former general counsel and
later chairman of the MIRA.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1938-01-21

placed down the line not because of
any lack of ability, the two profess
SIGNALS explained, but because he
hasn't had the years of competi-
ton in which to run up the distin-
guished records held by the men
placed above him.
The Perry-Vines list was dated
from 1920, the start Of the modern
tennis era, and approximately the
date that challenge rounds were
eliminated in the Wimbledon and
Forest Hills championships.
Each considered William T. Til
den II as unquestionably the most
brilliant player of all time. Tilden
reigned for more than a decade, and
possessed a sound, smashing game
in addition to solid array of
strokes. Big Bills most persistent
rival. William M. ("Little Bill'')
Johnston, was ranked third, be-
cause he was unfortunate in arriv-
ing on the international scene when
Tilden was in his prime. Vines
placed Perry second, and Perry re-
turned the gesture, placing Vines
second on his list.
Here and There
Once again Harry Cooper, who
himself always scenes "jinxed" in
the u. S. open, is picked as Amer
ica's No. pro golfer by the tour
nament champ Ralph Guldahl,
1887 winner, rates Cooper as worlds
greatest ''from tee to green" just
as Tony Manero, 1886 open champ,
did q year ago.

For National Defense

- EFORE the reading of the
- budget message in congress had
been concluded, the President was
in conference in the White House
with men who will have most to do
with putting into effect his plans
for strengthening the national de-
tense. These were Assistant Sec
rotary of the Navy Charles Edison
and Admiral William D. Leahy,
chief of naval operations; Chairman
Edward T. Taylor of the house ap-
preparations committee, Chairman
Carl Vinson of the house naval af-
fairs committee, and Representa-
tive William B. Umstead, chairman
of the appropriations subcommittee
on naval appropriations.
The group considered additions to
the navy building program, includ-
ing recommendations for beginning
construction on five battleships to re-
place all obsolete American capital
vessels, ten to fifteen cruisers, and
additional submarines, destroyers,
and auxiliary craft.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1938-01-21

The list of great college football
players who have achieved equal
fame in professional baseball is
surprisingly slim. Sammy Baugh,
of course, might take comfort in re-
Eembering what Riggs Stephenson
did. The "Ol' Hoss" who paced the
Chicago Cubs outfield few years
ago is probably the most dramatic
exception to the sad rule. Stevie,
who was one of the most consistent
hitters of his day, was an All-Amer-
lean fullback at Alabama.
Another All-Southern grid star,
Eddie Morgan, made good in the
big leagues after a distinguished
career at Tulane. He played first
successfully for the Boston Red Sox,
but he was never i'm StephensOn's
fight.
Luke and Joe Sewell, who were
Alabama football stalwarts, have
been in organized baseball, but
neither was q football player of the
Baugh or Stephenson type.
Probably the best football player
to make the big leagues after Ste
phcnson was Mickey C0chrane,
manager of the Detroit Tigers.
''Iron Mike" was first rate back
at Boston university, but he never
got nod for All-American.
The All-Americans for good and
sufficient reasons passed up such
fellows as Ted Lyons, the White
Sox pitcher when he was an end at
Baylor, Zeke' Bonura when he was
a tackle at Loyola of New Orleans,
frankie Frisch when he ran punts
for Fordham, Luke Appling when
he played at Oglethorpe u, Bill Lee
of the Cubs when he was back at
Louisiana State and Gerald and Hub
Walker when they played at Missis-
sippi State.
