simultaneously, they gave football
historians a red letter day.
Only Amos Alonzo Stage, College
of the Pacific mentor, exceeds Ell
Their Of them in years devoted to
the grid game. Warner has COM
pleted his forty-fourth year Of coach

Stage has been in action for 48 sea-
sons.
Both men have had a great deal
to do with shaping the trend of foot
ball. They were coaching teams
when the flying wedge was the
games best ground-gaining play.
Warner, in particular, can claim
credit for much of football as it is
played today. He was among the
first to rely on deception rather than
power-in some cases carrying de-
ception to an extreme. The "War-
ner System" is monument to his
ingenuity.

Wrestling's Superman

Stanislaus Zbyszko, veteran Po-
fish wrestler, is still going strong
after 40 years of trouping.
The rotund Pole with the shiny
pate is now 60 years old. He claims
he can still 60 40 minutes with the
best of them, and those who have
seen him work out substantiate his
claim. For the past year he has
been more active as q manager
than as grappler.
During his extensive career he
wrestled Frank Gotch twice, met
Hackenschmidt several times, had
nine spectacular clashes with Stran-
gler Lewis, met Joe Stecher and all
the former luminaries of an earlier
era.
The veteran of grunt and groan
continues in his search of the al
mighty dollar. And he has done
quite well in his quest. He is unlike
most old-time wrestlers, who sunk
their silver into land, in that he
invests in securities of his native
country. The wolf, incidentally, isn't
bowling in front of his door. But
maybe he's afraid of Stanislaus.

Naismith Complains
DR. JAMES NAIsM1TH, origin;

DR. JAMES NAISMITH, origina-
- tor of basketball, recently told
a group of coaches, officials and
sports writer's what could be done
to make the game better.
His criticisms were aimed mainly
at officials and the rules body as
he pointed out that:
l. The rules today consistently
penalize the offensive team.
2. Many officials are not interpret.
ing or enforcing the rules properly.
3. Elimination of the center jump,
in addition to penalizing the scoring
team, actually slows the game and
eliminates many clever plays which
would add spice.
1t is true that the offensive team
is penalized by loss of the ball every
time it makes basket. But it is
equally true that the defensive team
receives many unjust penalties. For
instance, the dribble primarily was
evolved to enable cornered player
to break loose. Today it is used as
weapon with which the offensive
player can crash into a defensive
man, knowing that the latter will
get the penalty.
Before the center jump was elm
mated the average time required
for an official to get the ball and
toss it up at the center was four or
five seconds. Now a player takes
the ball under the basket, has five
seconds to get it out, and the team
has ten more seconds to advance be-
yond the center of the court.
Coaches in general seem to be
satisfied with the present rules.
Many changes have been suggested,
but the feeling has been that the
game will certainly not be improved
by the hasty adoption of new regu-
lations.

Historians Record Use of Dolls in Earliest
Days of History; Customs Date to Antiquity

The use of dols-as playthings,
ornaments, and symbols of religion
and mysticism-dates back to antiq-
uity. Historians have failed to I'M
earth any period in which there
were no dolls. Early Oriental myth.
ology abounds with stories of gayly-
decorated figures used in religious
rites, observes a writer in the De-
troit News.
In the Orange Free State in At
RIGA a girl receives a doll when she
reaches maturity and keeps it until
she has child of her own. Egyp-
tians throw a life-size doll in the
Nile when it rises each year. Chi
nese mothers hang a doll in front
of the house when child is i'll. Syr-
ian maidens place doll in the win

village that they are ready and will

One Two-Three?

c. S. Howard may get ample re.
venge for the loss of two 100000
prizes when he shoots for racing's
richest prize-the Santa Anita Han
dicap-with three standout per-
formers.
Seabiscuit will be there, carrying
top weight and a good share of the
pubic's money in the March event.
And in addition to the Biscuit will
be two stablemates from the Ar
gentine pampas, Kayak II and Sor-
teado.
The three Howard stable entries
have good chance to make up for
Seabiscuit's heartbreaking defeats
of 1887 and 1888. It is far from i'm
possible that they may run one, two
and three this year.
Ralph Neves, Towards jockey,
has made the statement that he
would rather ride Kayak II in the
big race than Seabiscuit. Which is
the pinnacle of praise, for a jockey
gets 10 per cent of the purse when
he wins stake. His share, if he
had leg up on the winner, would
be $4,000.
Sorteado is the horse bought for
$4,000 after he made a clean sweep
of South American races. Howard
hadn't planned on entering him in
the handicap, as South American
horses require quite a while to be-
come acclimated. Sorteado fooled
him, and had little trouble in max
ing himself at home. Checkers have
had hard time believing their
watches when they time him in his
morning workouts.

Stratton Comeback

WHEN Monty stratton, White
W Sox pitching ace whose right
leg was amputated in December
following a hunting accident, first
announced that he was going to try
a comeback it was suspected that he
was whistling in the dark.
Now, however, even the most du-
bious are keeping a skeptical eye
on Monty. Experts have already
gone to his Greenville, Texas, home
to consult on the best type Of arti-
fetal leg for the injured young ath-
lete. His convalescence has ap-
preached the point where he is
ready to begin his mechanical ex-
pertinent, and he is more optimistic
of future success than he was last
spring when he pulled an arm mus
Gle.
Stratton is fortunate in having in
terested experts of the artificial limb
industry in his plight. Some manu-
facturers accept his condition as
challenge to their resourcefulness.
While many players grant that he
has an outside chance of pitching
again, they are not of the opinion
that he will be able to cover ground
with any speed.
1t is reported one expert has as
sured Stratton and SOx officials that
Monty will not only be able to pitch,
but that he can run with a fair de-
gree of speed.
Stratton will not make the trip
to the Pasadena training camp. In
stead, he will work out in Texas
until April 10, when he will come to
Chicago. According to present plans
he will be in uniform during the
White Sox-Cubs benefit game for
him in Comiskey park on April II.

which hundreds of thousands of chill
dren and grown-ups participate.
Psychologists say dolls are useful,
not only to amuse, but to educate
and to develop imagination and the
parental instinct in children. Dolls,
they say, are helpful to little boys
as well as girls, and any boy under
six years old need not fear being
called sissy if he loves and plays
with dolls.
Dolls of cave-dwellers were crude
ly fashioned of mud, stones or, bits
of wood. Archeologists have found
them in the earliest primitive dwell
ings, often lying by the side of the
remains of children. Through the
centuries dolls have taken better
form. European craftsmen of the
Middle ages developed great skill
in making dolls from wax. Later
dolls were made of plaster, easily
breakable. Today dolls are made of
a wide variety of materials.

ticed years before in an Auburn
Vanderbilt game. The Indians de-
cided to use it on the opening play.
When the kickoff was received the
Indians ran together in a huddle,
and slipped the ball under the front
of Dillon's jersey. Then they scat
tered, running and lodging, each
with one arm folded across his

of .776 as a result of 267 wins, 105
defeats and 81 ties during the A.
year stretch at Georgia, Carlisle,
Pittsburgh, Stanford, Temple and a

Dobie, though he didn't make as
many technical contributions, left
an equally sharp imprint on the
game. He learned his football un.
der Doc williams at Minnesota. To
the gloomy dean Of the gridiron the
sport owes many of its traditions.
Always a pessimist, Dobie gave rise
to the tradition that coaches are
always weeping about their mis-.
fortunes.
He is the possessor of the longest
string of victories ever achieved by
an American college-the 1O-year
stretch at Washington without de.
feat. His team won 81 games and
tied three from 1908 to the middle of
the 1917 season.

coaches hasn't bothered these two
men. Year after year they taught
top-notch football, turning out hard
fighting, well disciplined teams.

DRIVE AGAINST
WAGNER LABOR
ACT is BLOCKED
BY WILLIAM S. NEAL

U.N.S0 Administration lead,
ers in Congress have declined to
accept responsibility for propos.
ing changes in the Wagner labor
act. Final showdown on the issue
may be delayed for months.
Outcome of demands for revision
Of the act, it stated today, depends
upon the strength shown by rival
labor groups and spokesman for
industry.
While Administration leaders
favor review Of many New Deal
acts, including the controversial
labor law, it was made plain that
no drive would be made to force
action. Both Senate and House
Labor committees will consider
agitation and demands for changes
in the act, but it still is uncertain
whether efforts will be made to
meet the criticism through legis-
lation.
The movement for revision is
expected to be led by the Amer.
ican Federation of Labor, which
has committed itself to a series
Of amendments. Representatives
Of the federation have conferred
with members of Congress active
in labor legislation, but introduc-
ton of the proposed legislation
has been delayed.

Cochran. speaking as president

asserting that there are as many
or more points of friction, trade
walls, and conflict among the
States as at any time since the
signing of the Constitution"

The Nebraska executive told
more than 300 representatives of
the 48 States attending the 4.Ieet-
