HIGH COURT MAY
DECIDE WRANCLE
Final Preliminaries OF
Birth Control Case Fin
ished Yesterday

Civil phases of the Waterbury
birth control clinic wrangle may
reach the supreme court of errors
in November or December.
Final preliminaries to the argu-
ment were disposed of yesterday
when Attorney j. Warren Epson,
representing the Waterbury Mater
nal Health Center and the Con-
necticut Birth Control League, filed
his assignment Of alleged error jim
ruling by Judge Frank p. Nc
Evoy.
Judge McEvoy, in conflict with
Judge Kenneth Wynne, has held the
birth control statute constitutional
and ordered the destruction of birth
control materials seized last June
by Attorney William B. Fitzgerald.
In the criminal phase Of the litiga-
ton, three persons, DR.. William A.
Goodrich, DR.. Roger B. Nelson, and
Mrs. Clara L. McTernan have been
arrested for alleged violation of the
birth control statute. Judge Wynne
upheld their demurrer, however, and
declared the birth control statute
unconstitutional.
On the strength of Judge Wynne's
ruling, another judge, John A. Cor
nell, has been asked to discharge
the three. Arguments on that mo-
ton will be conducted next Tues
day.
1t Is probable that the civil and
criminal phases Of the question will
be considered jointly by the supreme
court OF errors. z

Every citizen would fill out a

that amount, with no IFS, ands, or

The bonds would not be tax
exempt, and would pay per cent in

the Bone bill would take the profits
made in war time by commerce and
industry, and that his bill would

financiers.

Aggies as His
Team Wins Award

NEW YORK, Dec. 6. CUP)-The
Texas Aggies' triumphal campaign
was one of the most significant de-
velopments OF the 1889 football sea-
son, according to Carl Snavely, head
coach of Cornells Big Reds, east
ern champions.
He expressed his elation at the
Aggies' successes last night during
the rousing dinner at Jack Demp-
sey's Tavern, at which the Lambert
Memorial trophy, symbolic of east
ern college football supremacy, was
presented to Cornell.
Snavely said, Homer Norton and
his Texas Aggies apparently proved
the truth OF one of my pet coaching
theories: that team we'll grounded
in all departments of play generally
has the advantage over teams that
specialize in certain departments at
the cost of strength in other de-
partments.

the main event at the San Diego
Coliseum will attract the largest

Supporters were about evenly di-

the wise money was on Bigboy
Hogue. The Jacumba twin has been
more active than Graves in the
past six months, is a better boxer,
and Graves hands are still a ques-

On Graves side of the ledger
however. there is a stiffer punch

that started with something like
Purdue and wound up with the likes
of Southern California.
NV selection of Alexander was in
fluenced by many things. Tech is a
comparatively small school to start
with. and being an engineering one,
its requirements are rigid. 1t doesn't
have any physical education depart
ment, which is alw ays pretty handy
tc have around to take care of ath-
letes with strong backs and weak
minds, and neither does it have a
school of commerce, another great
help. The absence of such depart
ments scares away many athletes.
With a small squad, light squad,
and a squad without too much ma
tural talent, Alexander had to find
a way to make it formidable. So he
developed ali attack that only smart
boys could master; an attack that
substituted brains for Drawn. 1t
v-as based on deception, both in
direction and purpose.
The entire structure of the attack
depended upon the ability of the
backs to fake. Not content with
merely having his backs fake with
their bodies. he put them though
what amounted to course in dra-
mates, so that the expressions on
their faces. the gestures of their
hands, would add to the trickery.
The practice sessions resembled
a rehearsal of stock company, and
at least one member of the team.
Howard Ector, became so skilled a
thespian that he was in danger of
being lured away by the New York
stage. Toward the end of the season
"a season, by the way, which saw
the Tech team share the tough
southeastern league championship
Ector could give you stirring por-
trayal of Hamlet or Uncle Tom or
Rip Van Winkle while throwing
a pass or handling the ball on a
spinner or taxing slant off tackle.
And he was only little better actor
than the other players.
So Alexander gets my vote. From
what I promise you was one of the
most inept squads OF players in the
country, Alex developed an offense
SO brilliant. and defense so mo-
bile. that it is going to the Orange
Bowl.

Eddie Anderson of Iowa, Homer
Norton of Texas A. & M, Carl
