struggled to hold it on the road. Skidding, it
struck the bank and tipped sidewise. For a
moment it hung balanced, then slowly dropped
back on all four wheels, and was still rocking
when the patrol car stopped beside it.
The troopers jumped out. They closed in
from opposite sides. One gestured with his
revolver and commanded: Come on, get out
of there. And keep your hands up You,

standing on the road in front of the crippled

| Midd,ewe:ghts Have Thrilled New York In Recent Years
fSnecial to The Democratl


 New York, Dec. 31-Of the eight major boxing divisions, the middle weight class has been perhaps the most active of all during the past few years. It is fitting, therefore, that the boxing year 1941 at Madison Square Garden should open with a program featuring middleweights.
 On Friday night in the Garden ring, Billy Soose, conqueror of Ken Overlin and Tony Zale, opposes Tami Mauriello, undefeated Bronx ite, in the main event of ten rounds. Appearing in an eight-round prelim- mary contest are two other crack young 160-pound prospects, Coley Welc hof Portland, Me, and Ernie Vigh of Newburgh, N. Y.
 Credit for much of the activity in the middleweight division the past few years must be given to Promoter Mike Jacobs. It was the Twentieth Century s. c. promoter who brought Fred Apostoli east from San Fran cisco and gave him the opportunity of developing into world champion It was Jacobs who brought Harry Balsamo into "big time"
 Remember Thil?
 Jacobs, too, brought Solly Krieger up out of the small clubs a few years ago and made him headliner. He was the only American promoter able to bring Marcel Thil, European champion, to these shores. He gave Fred Henneberry, Australian star an opportunity to display his calibre in the States. He brought Glen Lee in from California and Billy Conn then middleweight, in from Pitts burgh.
 It was Jacobs who gave Ceferino Garcia his title chance and who gave Ken Overlin his long, awaited crack at the crown. He also gave Steve Belloise two chances to de- throne Overlin but Steve missed.
 Now Jacobs opens the New Year at the Garden with other outstand- ing young middleweights and it is almost certain that the winner of the Soose- -Mauriello bout will earn a title chance; with the Vigh-Weich match winner very much in the pie ture.
 Two lightweight title contenders are also on Fridays card at the Gar den. They are Dave CastillouX, Ca nadian champion, and Aldo Spoldi European titleholder. The winner of this bout, which is scheduled for ten rounds, is virtually assured chance at the world lightweight title held by Lew Jenkins.

SEVERAL NE W COLLEGE GRID
 COACHES HIRED?.
Brown May GO to Ohio State; McLaughry to
 Dartmouth

New York, Dec. 31.-(UP)--Brass hats of American collegiate athletics wound up their two-day meetings today in welter of run1ors concern ing appointments to nine football coaching vacancies.
 Feedbox conversation regarding these appointments threw the regu- lation speeches for long losses at the closing sessions of the National Col legiate Athletic Association and the American Football Coaches associa- ton. .
 Echoes of the corridor jabbering could be heard even in the confer ence rooms where elections were be- ing held which were virtually cer- tain to name Prof Philip Badger assistant chancellor of New York D.. as new president of the N. c. A. A.. and Fritz Crisler of Michigan as new prexy of the coaches association Badger succeeds Prof w. B. Owens of Stanford, and Crisler follows Be McNIillin of Indiana.
 The most important subject con- sidered at the conferences was the N. c. A. A. proposal to reorganize the Olympic Association, and give 1t subsidiary branch to handle Pan American games.
 Meanwhile, the tumult of informa talk approached these conclusions which may be right or wrong:
 CD Paul Brown of Massiloi (Ohio) high school still has the in side track Sr the coaching vacanc. at Ohio State, although Athletic Di rector L. w. St. John has been in teryiewing "candidates" in beyys. St John leaves tonight for the univer' , sity and will make no announcement until after huddle with the athleti' council.
 Sure Thing
 (2) Fuss McLaughry of Brown ha! virtually clinched the Dartmouth job, although certain members of th' athletic council favor a Dartmouth alumnus. New York members of th' council met last night. Announce ment may be delayed until Jan. 10
 (3) Francis Schmidt, who recent! resigned from Ohio State, has prac' tically accepted the post at Tulss U., where he once coached whel that institution was known as "Ken dall College"
 | .(4) Chet Benefie1, who coached a Tulsa last season, is understood t' have accepted the berth at Wash ington and Jefferson.
 (5) Red Kendall, former famous Brown U. quarterback and more re gently coach at Hayerford College is said to be wrapped up for deliver! at Maine.
 (6) Vic Hanson, once pilot at Syra cuse, is rated a front-runner for tn piloting post at Massachusetts State CD Marquette is trying to get Herl Kopf of Manhattan.
 Little was said about the vacancie at Colorado or Springfield College but there was plenty of conjectur about Yale. Some of the rumor art ists insisted that the entire Yal coaching staff would be cleaned out including Ducky Pond, but most o the feedbox boys opined that Duck would remain with the Ellis for an other year and pick his staff.
 At last nights annual dinner O the coaches association, the Along Stagg award went posthumously t the late William Cowell, secretary treasurer of the organization. Tn award is given to one whose activi ties have been typical of the spiri of American football.

SUGAR BOWL TO BE VERY WET
 FOR BIG GAME?
Vols Steady as S=5 Favor
 ites-Dry Field Is  IIls:,.. Uncertain
By JACK GUENTHER [Inited Press Staff CorreSrOndentl

tUHtted Press Stan correspondent
 New Orleans, Dec 30-(UP)-Af- ter 48 hours of indecision the weather bureau announced today there was an even chance that rain would drift in from the west on Wednesday and make the seventh annual Sugar Bowl football game into sluShy, slippery battle in which breaks may mean more than performance.
 All through the week the fore casters have held out for a bright sun and fast turf but finally they have taken cognizance of a storm moving steadily eastward through Texas. The most definite commit inert available from the more estab- lished prophets was that it is a tosS-up between rain and sunshine. '"
 Although clouds curdled in the sky, there was no downfall today as Tennessee and Boston College fin- ished out their routines while rival rcoters issued highly partisan pre- dictionS of runaway victories in this only New Years day game between tCdLllo N1Ill pGl1CNb 4CNO1 NlO. oul things looked bad.
 There was tarpaulin spread over the greenswara at Tulane stadium as both coaching staffS kept hoping for hard and fast surface. For sev- eral days the thousands of tourists have believed that Boston College would profit by sudden storm, but the coach of the Eagles dispelled this theory.
 Wants Dry Field
 Speaking to some 300 guests al the quarterbackS luncheon, Frank Leahy said his squad had shown its best form when the playing field was crisp and unyielding. The young Boston mentor also disclosed that he would stand by his regular starting lineup and that the Eagles were ready for the game of thet careers.
 The statement was relished by the thousands who have come here from almost every point in the nation to witness the outcome of this vauntec battle between Dixie and New Eng. land. Most of the tourists crossed their fingers along with the coache. in the hope for sunny day.
 That is because the game shape. up as a natural, slam-bang knock-down affair. Major Bob Ney- land of Tennessee crossed up tht critics by announcing he would star his regular first team instead O shock troops but this may be inter. preted as strategy.
 Vols 6 to 5
 Ar the zero hour approached there was no shift in odds. Tn, Vols, who are marching into thet third bowl contest in as many years remained firmly entrenched as ia. vorites at 8-5 and chances are tn, price will not be changed even wher the teams gallop into the stadium for the contest.
 There was no chance either II last minute workouts. At Bay St Louis Boston went through a fina dummy scrimmage under the eye of the assistant coaches, and al men except end Gene Goodreaul were de4initely ready. The All American Wingman will start, bu nobody knows how long he will last
 At Edgewater park, Tennessee wa! in perfect shape.

Americas Bethlehem

Bethlehem, the peaceful little
christmas town" nestled in the
New Hampshire hills, bears strik-
ing resemblance to the Holy Village
for which it was named. Its loca-
ton is similar to that of Bethlehem
in Judea, and, strangely enough, it
is village of inns and Jewish peo-
pie, just like the real Bethlehem
in the beautiful story of the Christ
Child. This similarity exists, how
ever, only in summer when 80 mag
nificent hotels, taverns and inns,
nine Of which observe the Jewish
dietary laws, are hosts to those who
come, year after year, to enjoy the
beauty Of green fields and purple
mountains. At Christmastide the
population il less than q thousand
souls and most Of them are ma
tives whose hardy ancestors built
their log cabins along Bethlehem
streets where the palatial hotels now
stand.

BODYBUILDING Industry
I. Now Offers Full Value

Strides made In home building
during the last decade have done a
great deal for the home owner, and,
measured on the basis of quality as
well as price, the present day home
gives the buyer more for less
money.
The modern home is planned for
exterior and interior beauty and for
maximum utility as well. The
rooms are arranged for easy access
and seclusion as desired. They are
light and airy. Work rooms, such
as kitchen and laundry, are laid out
to save steps.
From foundation to roof, today's
house is better built, Of more dura-
BILE, yet less costly materials. Up
keep is at a minimum. 1t is insu-
lated to keep out winters cold, re-
duce fuel bills and minimize sum-
mer's heat.
Today's house is heated by clean,
healthful and convenient automatic
heat. The heat output is we'll
balanced and drafts have been elm
mated by the placing of radiators
under the windows.
Hot water is always on tap in to-
days house. In many cases, it is
heated by the same boiler which
heats the house. The boiler, being
in operation the year around, is not
affected by summer corrosion, and
thus lasts longer.
Electricity is at arms reach in
any room. Built-in conveniences
are plentiful-mantle, windows,
doors, cabinets and cupboards are
more attractive, tighter fitting and
more economical to buy because Of
efficient production.
Closets are more accessible, walls
are easier cleaned, and easements
are dry, cheerful rooms for family
recreation.
Bathroom fixtures are OF rare
beauty. Tubs are low with wide,
fiat rim providing a seat. Lava
tories of glistening vitreous china or
sturdy enameled cast iron have an
integral shelf at the back providing
t1lC utIllOSt CONVENIENCE LII bAiC R1oS-
ing of toilet articles. Faucet ham
dies are made Of metal for greater
beauty and safety. Drain controls
act quickly, positively.
Bathrooms are better planned and
there are more Of them. Glamorous
powder rooms have been moved to
convenient locations at the front of
the house.
Despite the fact that the home Of
today is superior to anything that
has ever been offered to the public
before, the basic price of many inn
portant materials has not increased
in recent years. Staple enameled
iron plumbing fixtures, such as
bathtubs, sinks and lavatories, are
today selling at only &c per cent of
the 1925 base price as reported by
the United States department of
labor.

Scientists Claim Ocean
Contains Barren Areas

The ocean contains barren areas
which correspond to worn out farms
on land. The fish and other living
organisms in the water use its nu-
TRENT material to the point of ex-
haustion, and this stage is followed
by depletion of marine life. This
observation was made by DR..
Harald U. Sverdrup and DR.. w. E.
Allen of the University Of Califor-
mia, in extended cruises on the Pa
cific. The maintenance of marine
life depends on the process of big
fish eat little fish and at the end Of
the scale is the diatom, micro
scopic marine plant, which extracts
its nourishment directly from the
water. The scientists discovered
that "old' water on the surface Of
the ocean contained relatively small
quantities of diatoms while new
water contained abundant supplies.
Old water has been on the surface
a long time, and new water is that
which has been drawn up from the
bottom and comes to the surface
near shorelines. This cold bottom
water comes from a region where
marine life is very scarce and it's
supplies of the salts necessary for
marine life are still unused.

Aeronautical Subjects
Are Popular i'm College

Increasing demand among the ma
tons young men and boys for voca-
tional training courses In aeronauti-
cal subjects at schools and colleges
was indicated in q study on the
place Of aviation In education, made
public recently by DR.. John w. Stu
debaker, commissioner Of the Unit
ed States office Of education.
Although 65 universities offer
courses in aeronautical engineer
ing, DR.. Studebaker said, rapid de-
velopments in the aircraft industry
and interest in the current military
aviation expansion program have
resulted in a wave Of enthusiasm
for aviation training among students
in secondary schools and junior coli
leges. Reports received from all
sections Of the country show grow
ing activity in notwithstanding
programs, In meteorology, aircraft
design, radio and other subjects re-
lated to the study Of aeronautics.
Preliminary study Of aviation in
the schools ID Of great value" DR..
Studebaker said. "It is the young
people who must eventually assume
leadership in this important field Of
transportation and national defense;
who must be the future engineers,
designers, manufacturers, pilots,
mechanics, and who must be the
future patrons of aviation. An in
telligent realization of the factors
entering into successful air trans
portation is fundamental to our fu-
ture national progress in aviation,
and this can be brought about only
by careful planning in education"
