To Advertise The State For
Tourist Travel

The sale of Maryland's Poster
Stamps, a set of twenty-five gaily
colored stickers depicting important
events and places in the twenty-three
counties and BaltimoreCity, has been
gaining momentum, reports indicate.
Launched less than three weeks ago,
the Maryland Poster Stamp campaign
conducted modestly through newspap-
er publicity and no direct solicitation,
except in Baltimore City, has shown a
widespread civic interest. Revenues
of the campaign will be used to adj
vertise the State of Maryland in an
effort to further increase the tourist
travel.
No solicitation for the sale of
stamps has been organized through
out the counties, but already in re-
Spouse to widespread publicity, orders
are coming in for the stamps. Individ-
ual sets sell for twenty-five cents. The
Commission said today that merchants
interested in placing the stamps on
sale could obtain displays and sets
of stamps from the Publicity Com
mission, State Office Building, An
napolis. Smallest quantity sold for
the purpose of resale is fifty sets of
stamps. These can be purchased at
the rate of Is cents per set and re-
tail for twenty five cents.
Stamp collectors, and organizations
throughout the nation have shown a
lively interest in the Maryland Poster
Stamps and orders have come in from
such faraway points as California and
the State of Washington.

Tovchdowns Out OF Thin Air

In THEIR November battle with the Huskies

like grim reality at last had caught up with
Stanford artists of make-bclieve. The IIuskieS
had been tabled by the experts as the pre-.
season iavorites in the Pacific Coast Con-
ference - and they lived up to their advance
notices by stepping out to 100 lead at half

after all the time had come for the debunking
of the Stanford myth. But there was still
the second half, and in that second half
ShaughnesSy's magiCianS snatChed three touch
downs out of the thin air in one of the most
spectacular rallies in the history of the con-
ference The final score was Stanford, 20,

These second-hall Stanford surges aren't

the greatest plOtter in football. He has more
ideas than mad inventor. He took the
Model ~ formation, which is almost as old
as football itself, added a few Tanker and
man-in motion gadgets, impaired the Shaugh-

Give him credit" says Pop Warner, who
has been coaching since 1895 and has turned
out some of the best teams in history.
"Shaughnessy has taken that T formation we
used when | played at Cornell in 1892 and
made it work as it has never worked before
This is because he has added his own ideas

all over the field They tackled everybody but
the nOnchalant looking Stanford man who
actually had the ball BY the clock. Stanford
scored p points in four and one-half minutes
of play, to sew up the game. 1t was the most
amazing performance of the season; the ex-
perts were left gaspng.
1t was the same story when Shaughncssy's
grdrOn actors met Southern California. The
mighty Trojan team. which had beaten Duke
in the Rose Bowl on January |, 1899. and had
thrashed Tennessee in the same classic last
New Years Day, was tied with Stanford, IT,
with only minute and a half of playing

Shaughnessy's men called on the magic he
had taught them and scored two sudden
touchdowns to sweep Southern California into

A Different Story

NEvERTHELESS,in in one brief year rShaughnessy
has spun football drama that would make
Hollywood scenario writers cry, 'lmpossible'
Stanford, this year, became the swiftest-
striking team in football, one of the most
rapierlike gridiron machines of all time, rip
ping through nine straight opponents without
suffering defeat or tie.
Saturday after Saturday the Cardinals ran
roughshod over the very teams which had
trampled them year ago. They were the
same Cardinals who had been dismal failures
in 1899; but they had been made into glorious
success by the tools Shaughnessy gave them.
What are those tools?
Chiefly, the ability to act" Shaughnessy
says. Tin not dramatic critic, but demand
a well-played part. If you can teach your
players to be convincing when they're just
making believe that they're carrying the ball,
you can decoy the opposition out of position
far more effectively than by blocking
The big Beavers of Oregon State pushed
Stanford all over the field in the first half
of their game this season. Stanford was lucky
to escape with a TT tie at intermission - but
in the second half Shaughnessy's cast pro-
duced some acting that would have done
credit to a Hampden or Barrymore. The

Solving q Riddle

! HERE is another mystery in Shaughnessy's
career however. Why did he quit a good
teaching job at the University of Chicago for
what looked like bad job, and more football
headaches at Stanford? Shaughnessy was a
member of the University of Chicago faculty,
and he might have stayed there, snug in
professorship that paid him $4,000 year
Il couldn't have done that Shaughnessy
explains. Football coaching is my hobby.
live it and love it.
He has been kinder to the hobby than it has
been to him. That hobby has given him a
rough ride at times during twenty-five year
coaching career that began in 1914, when he
graduated from Minnesota with a record as
great tackle and fullback.
In 1919 Shaughnessy coached an unbcaten
Tulane University eleven - only to be fired
the next year!
Called back in hurry when the Green
Wave foundered under their new coach,
Shaughnessy again got Tulane clicking and
put together another unbeaten team in the
1925 season.
Then something happened that still gives
ShaughneSSy regrets whenever he hears the
word bowl mentioned. His unbeaten 1925
Tulane team was invited to the Rose Bowl by
the University of Washington. 1t was dream
come true for the struggling young coach
And it was rudely shattered when the Tulane
authorities decided not to accept.
Bitterly disappointed, Shaughnessy quit
Tulane and went to coach at Loyola Unver-
sity, just across the street in New Orleans.
At Loyola football material was meager,
and Shaughnessy had to compete with some
thing he himself had really started: the Sugar
Bowl 1t was Tulane's first stadium Though
not known by that name them and it was
built on the strength of Shaughnessy's un-
beaten 1925 team. Few believed that the

AV3 Shaughnessy His Stanford Univer
sity team will be host in the Rose Bowl classic
next Wednesday - dream team in a dream
game.
To Shaughnessy. certainly, the whole fan
tastiC affair is very much like dream. He
pinches himself at intervals to make quite
sure that he isn't sleepwalking through this
success story. For if just one year ago poll
had been taken to pick the most unsuccessful
coach Of 1899 Sheughnessy would have won
hands down.
The University of Chicago's hapess and
hopeless Maroons, under Shaughnessy, lost
last year to Harvard. Clio: to Michigan, $50:
to Ohio State Clio; to - but why go on? The
opposition ran up point totals on Chicagos
struggling sons that looked like the national
debt. The Maroons didn't win a Big Ten game
last year. They didn't as much as score in
one. They hardly ever even reached the line
of scrimmage, Michigan. Illinois and Ohio
State tore off 1872 points on Chicago L. while
Shaughnessy squirmed and suffered on the
bench.
And to climax that disastrous season, Presi-
dent Hutchins legislated football right out
of Chicago University, leaving Shaughnessy
without even team, and without much
prospect of getting another team - who d
want a coach with a record like his?
Even when Stanford University amazed the
football world by calling him in to coach the
Cardinals things looked lust as dark for
Shaughnessy For he inherited a Stanford
team that had failed to win any of its first
eight starts in 1889. 1t had been waloped
by the University of Southern California.

Santa Clara beat it down. University Of
Washington and Washington State stepped
on it. The Pacific Coast laughed at it.
1t seemed as if Shaughnessy had traded one
headache for another.

is extended, he suspected the Hull
boom might be left to carry its
own weight.
The fact that the President de-
voted husky part of his annual
message to the trade agreement
program augmented the belief
that every administration effort
would be put forward to rush the
extension of the act through Con-
gress at an early date.
That would be healthy for the
Administration in several respects.
1t would get the tariff issue out
of the way well ahead OF the
campaign. 1t is a cockle-burr un-
der the saddle of party harmony.
Further, it would strengthen the
hand of the State Department IN
negotiating its latest agreement
with Argentina. That is proving
a tough one, toughest of all, i'll
some respects. Yet it is the key
stone of the trade arch which the
Administration hopes to extend
over all the Americas.

FEDERAL JURY ACTS
ON PASSPORT CHARGES
Motion for Appeal 10 Be
Made Wednesday,
New Bond Be Set

NEW YORK, Jan. %. - Earl
Browder, General Secretary OF the
Communist Party in America, and
considered the big leader, has been
convicted on both counts of the
Federal indictment charging the
use of a passport obtained by false
statements and has been immed-
lately sentenced to two years and
also fined $1,000 on each count.
THE verdict of the jury was the
only possible one that could have
been returned" said Judge Alfred
Coke.
Defense Attorney Battle moved to
a delay, but the Judge said he pre-
ferred to dispose of the case at once
and then passed sentence to run
concurrently.
Four Years in Prison
The sentences means that Brow
der must serve four years. The
maximum penalty could have been
ten years and fines of $4,000.
Bail at $500 was continued until
Wednesday at which time Browder
must appear in court for the pur-
pose of fixing new bond in con-
nection with his appeal.
Browder left the court room smil-
ing wryly and said he had mo

The case went to the jury at
1909 o'clock this afternoon and the
verdict was returned shortly after.
Argues Own Case
Browder argued before the Fed
eral Court jury that he must be
acquitted unless a precedent is set
up that citizens may be exiled from
their own country"
Although he had engaged George
Gordon Battle, one Of New York's
best known lawyers to defend him,
Browder chose to sum up his own
case, explaining to the jury, as he
began to talk, he was a correspond
ence school lawyer

was long, complicated and flimsy

A new factor in the Finnish
Russian war is the freshly formed
ice now coating the Gulf of Fin

the possibility of Russian infantry
attacks from the Soviet bases of
Fstonia The infantry could be Ia
ken aboard Russian ships and land

Finland has already barricaded
some sections of the Gulf coast.
Successful Finn Raids
Successful Finnish air raids on

ported in the Finnish communique.
Other sources affirmed the raids
of the Firms and further stated
that successful attacks have been
made on the great Soviet naval
base at Kronstadt, also at Baltiski,
Estonia.
The Finnish air t lacks were
thrusts in retaliation of Soviet air
raids which have inflicted wide
spread damage on more than a
dozen Finnish towns and villages.
Estonia Bases Used
Several Soviet planes have been
shot down and in two incidents, the
Russian filters landed safely and
were captured. From them it is
learned that the Russians are using
Estonian bases for part of the aerial
attacks on Finland.
