Beyond Shadow of Doubt

A certain actor was fond Of tell

real acting.
Eventually he was booked for q
coming production. He was to ap-

For three weeks he rehearsed
nightly before his mirror, trying
all sorts of gestures, expressions,
tones, until he felt perfect.
The eventful night arrived when
the curtain was to rise on the new

actor impatiently waited his cue.
It came. "And so this is the end?"
With his best tragedian air he
stalked to the center Of the stage,

SPEAKING OF
SPORTS
By ROBERT McSHANE
RsIso,sd BY Wsss.m Nsw,popsr Union

CARL SNAVELY, unsmiling,
~ poker-faced coach of Cornell UNI
versity's football team, is distinctly
unhappy in what should be his mo-
ment of triumph.
Cornell is putting the East back
In football headlines. His current
Big Red edition has been termed
by more than one sports writer as
the best all-around football team in
the past 10 years. Cornell wasn't
given proper credit for its win over
Ohio State, Big Ten champions, in
1889. Too many people called it
luck. This years victory over the
Buckeyes gave ample proof of Cor
nell's power. Critics weren't COM
menting that Cornell was just
lucky" They have to admit that
the victory was really deserved.
But Snavely still is unhappy.
Three weeks ago the Harvard Grim
son, undergraduate daily, charged
that Cornell had failed to live up to
the terms Of the agreement for
simon-pure athletics. In an article
the paper charged that Coach Snave-
ly and "subsidization travel hand in
hand"
The following week Athletic Direc-
tor L. w. st John of Ohio State uni
versity sent letter to Asa S. Bush
nell, executive director of the East
ern Intercollegiate Athletic associa-
ton. In this letter he charged al
legged "glaring infraction of the foot
ball rules and of the code of sports
manship."

'Unwarranted Charge

The rule would be valueless if
coaches could GET by with hand sig
mailing from the bench. There are
all manner of little devices whereby
a coach might convey to his players
expert advice for the improvement
of matters at hand. Snavely denied
emphatically that he attempted to
dangle his Cornell juggernauts at the
end of a wand. Mr.. St. Johns
charges" he said, ARE unwarrant-
ed and contrary to fact"
Somehow we're inclined to sympa-
thize with the unhappy MIR. Snavely.
1t is quite doubtful that the rule in
fraction charge would have been
made in the event Cornell lost the
game. That, of course, does not les
sen the degree of guilt, if any there
be. However, it would be very I'M
ethical for any coach to give his
team the high-sign for future plays.
The boys are expected to figure
those things out for themselves.
Snavely is a brilliant coach. Cornell
players are as intelligent as those of
other colleges. 1t seems unlikely
that he would court disaster by so
blatantly directing his players ac-
tivities when sideline coaching is
prohibited.
The penalty for such an infraction
does not seem especially severe. 1t
provides loss of Is yards by the
team for whose supposed benefit the
offense was committed. The referee
has the right, however, if the Of
Tense is fragrant, TO exclude the Of
fender from the field for the re-
mainder of the game.
Sportsmanship, therefore, usually
is the deciding factor.

WI all the busy gossip of pay
and PROSECUTING in college foot
ball that now rides in the autumn
air, you'd get the general idea from
many sources that good students
and good football players belong to
two different leagues.
This happens to be entirely in
correct. On a general average the

teen. But fortunately
the boys to whom they lose
their hearts are about seven
teen, too. Quite unable to face
the responsibilities of home and
bills and family. Neither boys
nor girls take these affairs too
seriously, and presently their
school days are over, and they
are dancing and working and
going to movies and planning
more seriously, as they leave
the teens behind them.
When the girl is seventeen,
however, and the man ten
years older, the situation is
not so simple. She is an inno-
cent, giddy, curious young
thing who is merely in love
with love; he is more calcu-
lating, ready to settle down, and
more than ready to take ad-
vantage of her inexperience. 1t is
safe rule that when a young girl
wants to marry man some years
older, one who has no job, who has
already had one unfortunate mari
tai experience, and whom her fam
lily dislikes, she is heading for
wreck.
Stubborn Seventeen.
Yet girls can be stubborn, at II;
they do this over and over again,
and from one girls bitter expert
ence and costly mistakes no other
girl seems able to learn.
Witness Joan, whose mothers let
ter lies on my desk this morning.
Our girl has been raised on your
advice, printed in the Sunday pa
per- writes the mother, from Knox
vile. For years I've quoted you,
and twice I've written you direct.
Joan was our only child until she
was 10, then son came to share
honors. We've always treated her
reasonably; she's had her share of
household duties, alternate Sundays
we have had open house for her
friends. 1t has been as normal and
sweet a childhood as any girl in
the land could have.
He's IS and No Good.
What could we have done that
we didn't do, to save her from what
has happened now? To make the
story short, man came to town
three months ago, and was suddenly
included in all the plans of Joan's
little set. Nobody seems to know
quite how or why. He is about 35,
slightly bald, small, fair, laxative,
and thoroughly no good. He has had
two jobs in this time, held neither
one. He has never explained, even
to Joan, what the trouble was be-
tween his wife and himself, or what
were the circumstances of their di-
vorce.
Joan is madly in love with him,
she will be of age on December
3, and they plan to be married that
day. She won't listen and she won't
talk; she merely laughs and looks
bored, and is off with him for hours
of giggling and condolences, telling
him, ! suppose, just what old-faSh-
toned idiots her father and mother
are.
Joan'S Mind Set.
my husband insisted on a talk
with him; he said he could not pin
this Roy Jones down to anything.
Roy kept saying that his one thought
was Joan's happiness, and that he
loved her. We talked to Joan; no
use. She is like girl under a
spell. Can't you-won't you help US
bring her back to sanity? Is there
a cure?"
No, there's no sure cure. When

Not Unusual

1t is obvious that the second
charge rests more heavily on the
Snavely brow. Harvards accusa-
ton is one that any winning coach
may expect. The article said: Carl
Snavely is the biggest travelling
salesman that ever wore rubber off
the tires of an automobile. Last
year he drove several thousand
miles solely in an effort to corral
grid talent for Cornell's future
teams" That may be said-and has
been said-of many a coach. The
process of recruiting is not looked
upon with horror in all gridiron
circles.
The Ohio State protest is another
matter. st. John charged that
Snavely transmitted signals to his
team "by the manipulation of a
white cylinder held in different posi-
tiOns Continued observation
convinced us beyond doubt that this
manipulation of the cylinder sig
nailed the play to be executed by the
Cornell team. Indeed. as the game
progressed we were enabled to fore
cast the play to be called by the
manipulation Of this cylinder in
Coach Snavely's hand"
To protect the game against
coaching from the sidelines, gridiron
rule makers long ago adopted rule
prohibiting incoming substitutes
from talking before one play has
been executed. One exception was
made. A new signal-caller is al
lowed to speak his piece at once.
This doesn't weaken the rule be-
cause few clubs have enough quar-
terbacks to keep shipping them in
whenever the coach gets a BRAIN
storm. In fact, many teams have
only one signal-caller they would
dare use when the game is close.

and she is moving in a dream for
the time being.
Her father and mother are heart
broken because all their years of
love and confidence seem lost. She
herself will look back aghast at
what she is doing in a few years.
She will look at the Joan of today in
the same puzzled despair that her
parents are feeling now.
Nature Against Parents.
But Nature is exerting her strong
est poisons, her strongest witcheries,
at the moment, and no one of us is
as strong as Mother Nature. Every
fiber of Joan's being is crying out
for this mans mastery, and unless
she wakes up in time-and she may
she is going to break her heart;
perhaps wreck a child's life.
Caroline Brown did what Joan is
planning to do, II years ago. Her
letter arrived in the same mail as
did that of Joan's mother. This is
part of it.
Il ran away with a man of "a,
when l was just 49," writes Caro-
line. First Don rented an unfrlr-
nished shack for 81 month, and we
went TO chain store and bought two
bags of groceries, and to the five
and dime for plates and pans. We
had no bed, no blankets, no mirror
or soap or towels. l pretended that
l thought all this was fun. We had
less than Sl1, but his talk was al
ways big and had believed it.
Four Years of Poverty.
I'VE lived in that shack four
years, and my two daughters were
born there. I could have gone to
the free ward of the hospital, but it
was miles away across town, and
we had no car. After my fathers
death my mother joined us and paid
me ST a week. Often it was all
had. Mother got $40 month; she
couldn't do more than she did.
"Those we're years of such suffer
ing as hope few women in America
know. Never enough to eat; every
scrap of bacon fat and potato skin
saved. Never enough diapers or
blankets, or fresh curtains or coal.
A broken stove propped on blocks;
broken windows mended with tape.
Four babies, strong beautiful ba
bies if they'd had chance, but al
ways with colds and chapped hands
and prickly heat. And l did it, l

Convincing Talker.
Don drank, gambled, quarrelled,
whipped my children. But he could
put up a story that investigators be-
lieved, as / had believed it, and
got no promise of release or relief.
In our state you don't get divorces
easily.
II went out to days work, leaving
Ma with the children. My employer
sent me to secretarial school, God
bless her. Four years ago l was
made assistant superintendent in the
school; last month superintendent.
My oldest girl is pupil here, the
second will shortly enter. And now
Don, who deserted US eight years
ago, has come back, and wants to
be taken back into the family. Wants
to be accepted, respected by his son
and daughters. Wants me to sup
port him while he looks up pros
poets.
Well, that's all of the letter that
will interest Joan. But want her
to read it. ! ask her then to pray
for guidance, and ask herself seri-
ously why-when every other wom-
an who ever took this path has
failed, she thinks she can succeed?

Ozzie Hawkins To
WOrkhouse For Is
Days For Assault

Ossie Hawkins, we'll known North
side character, was sentenced to 80
days and that sentence REDUCED to Is
days on the urgent plea of attorney
Harry L. Scott in Judge Youngdahl
district court this week. The sentence
was reduced when attorney Scott in
sisted that 80 days was to drastic in
fact of all relevant facts and the re-
duction of the charge to common as
suit by the county attorneys office.
Which instatigated in place of the
original charge of lst degree assault
witha deadly weapon made by one
Margaret Canty, would have made
Hawkins liable to the baunes law. The
Canty woman charged Hawkins as
suited her with knife, but attempted
a recant in Judge Youngdahl's court
this week, which laid the foundation
for the successful handlying of the
case by Attorney Scott.
