Football Men Brand Ohio State Signal Calling
 Charge Against SnayeIy Of Cornell As Absurd
Wigwagging From Bench Would Only Be Confusing
BY HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Sports Editor

New York, Oct. 31-Football men laugh at the charge made by Ath- letic Director L. w. St. John and Coach Francis Schmidt of Ohio State that Carl Snavely directed the Cornell team against the Buckeyes from the bench.
 One reason is that any coach re- peatedly wigwagging his players would have his team penalized every second or third play.
 Another is that such methods would only result in confusing the te.-n.
 A team looking for a signal from the bench couldn't pick it up, skip out of the huddle and get the play off in 25 seconds.
 How could Snavely or any other coach hold a white cylinder in suf- ficient ways, or make enough ges- lures, to cover all the plays a team like Cornell employs?
 Walt Matuszczak, who called every play run by Cornell against Ohio State, says that he was not once influenced by any action on the bench, and football men will take his word for it. WALT MATUSZCZAK CALLS ANOTHER PERFECT GAME
 As Snavely points out, the play ers' bench is perhaps the poorest vantage point at a football game, and even if it were an advantageous one, it would be ridiculous for. him, or anybody else to call plays for Ma tuszczak or the other Cornell sig ,nal-caller, Walt Scholl.
 Snavel yrateS their choices of plays the finest he has ever seen in the college game.
 Matuszczak called another per- pect game for Cornell against Ohio State, and carried out his own blocking assignments flawlessly.
 When the Buckeyes stubbornly stuck to their diamond defense deep in their own territory, Matuszczak called for a mid-alley pass that scored with the aid of his own mag nificent block.
 When Ohio State switched to the orthodox six-man line in the sec- ond half Matuszczak blasted ball. carriers through it.
 BLOCKING BACK MAKES
 FINEST FIELD GENERAL
 Snavely prefers to have a block ing back call plays provided he is well enough versed in football. He reasons that the blocking back k more likely to make the key block if for no other reason than to make the play he called work.
 Cornell gets away from making an outstanding ball-carrier a sig nal-caller because too frequently, ir an effort to make backfield team mate look good, he calls on an in- terior ball-carrier at a time wher team needs to take its best shot.
 Sr1avely and most other coaches would like to say they have never communicated with players illegal ly. Snavely and practically all other coaches readily will admit they have pointed to their safety man when he was playing too deep- ly or too close up, or in some other way have given instructions from the bench.
 But it is absurd to say that Car. Snavely or any other coach called play after play from the bench fol team as highly geared as the vet eran 1940 Cornell varsity, and with a field general as competent as Walter MatuSzczak.'

builders and architects as well as to
retailers of its lighting and other
electrical products.
The Electrical Workers. Union, Lo-

the patronage by builders, architects,

this Unfair firm when there are many
dozens of union firms which manufac-
ture better and just as reasonably
priced products.
Business Manager James A. Morrell
of Local No. l would like the Labor
Press throughout the United States
to carry the information that the Ed
win f. Guth Co. of st. Louis, manufac-
turer of electric lighting products, is
Unfair to Organized Labor. In this
manner many out-of-town electrical

handle anti-union products, will be
informed Labor newspapers which
carry this news item are requested to
send a marked copy of the issue to
James A. Morrell, Business Manager

Union representatives are calling
upon hardware merchants and dealers
in the electrical lines to urge them
not to carry further stocks of Guth

by Local No. in future issues of the
st. Louis Labor Tribune.
In the meantime, the steady picket

Organized Labor in st. Louis is de-
termined to help the Electrical Work
ers to lick the Edwin F. Guth Co. in
this finish fight for union recognition
and living wage for its employees.

when our Government was doing
everything possible to promote trade
relations with Germany.
Byoir Fully Cleared
On July Is, 1910, the sub-commit
tee, after study Of all Of the evil
dence, unanimossly submitted to the
chairman the following report:
"The subcommittee you appointed
to investigate the charges of un-
American activities made against Carl
Byoir after carefully going over the
report by Mr., Stedman and also after
consulting the files of F. B. |. in the
case find nothing to Justify the
charges made nor any evidence that
could possibly form a basis for such
charges. We therefore find satisfac-
tion in clearing Mr. Carl Byoir Of the
charges made against him and recon-
mend that a resolution covering a
complete eXoneration of Mr.. Byoir be
voted by the full committee as soon
as possible, such resolution to be
based upon the subcommittee re-
port"
Patman Is Heard
Subsequently, Mr.. Patman regis
tered complaint on the floor of the
House to the effect that he had not
been heard by the subcommittee, al
though his charges had been set forth
in three addresses on the floor of the
House, all available to the subcommit-
tee. Accordingly, Mr.. Patman was
given an opportunity to be heard be-
fore meeting of the full committee
held on Thursday, August 20. He
made complete statement of his
position in this matter. Mr.. Patman
presented no new material evidence.
Mr.. Byoir appeared and was exam
med concerning the charges made
against him.
The full committee adopts the re-
port of its subcommittee fully exon

jury upon our economic and industrial
system. We must apply the rules of
common sense, discretion and good
judgment in a great national emer-
gency, just as we do when conditions
are normal, and our national thinking
is normal"
On national defense, Mr.. Green
said:
"Our national defense must be ade-
quate and complete in every detail. We
cannot stop until this objective has
been reached. There must be no
weak spot in our defenses which would
permit the penetration Of foreign
foe. We must speak the language Of
strength and force. We must firmly
resolve that no enemy, no marauder,
no invading army shall ever set foot
on American soil.
"The great army of workers repre-
sented by the American Federation OF
Labor are single minded in the con-
viction that the preservation Of Amer
lea transcends all other considerations.
They are ready to work, they are ready
to sacrifice, they are ready to fight for
America"
Mr.. Green announced that the
American Federation of Labor will
give the draft law "the fullest sup
port" He added:
Labor will do everything in its
power to help the Government make
the draft a success and to protect the
rights of the millions of young men
who are drafted in the next few years
These young men are being called up
on by the nation to make sacrifices
for the defense of all Of US. 1t is only
fair and proper that we do everything
in our power to safeguard their jobs
their health and their future security
In conclusion, Mr.. Green declared
"a crisis tests a nations fiber ant

wages-so- called "full-time" workers
are calculated on the basis of the
weekly fixed salary or wage which
they received before becoming unem
ployed.
Under the new formula, the aver
aging of earnings to obtain an aver
age weekly wage is employed when
ever workers hours of work and
wages vary widely from week to
week, which in Ohio covers about rs
per cent of those applying for bene-
fits.
In letter transmitting the proposed
new formula to the Board of Review,
Administrator Atkinson stated that
the Ohio Bureau is preparing to make
further study on the full-time form
ula problem.
Commenting on the high quarter
alternate, he wrote:
ever since the writer was named
recognized the Importance of finding
an adequate and proper basis for de-
termining claimants average week

established.
owe must frankly admit that the
law has been administered i. in the
face of constantly increasing Bureau
friction with claimant and employer
alike. Past months have seen the
Board of Review deluged with appeals
based on the contradictory and con-
troversial nature of the present Rule
Three.
Therefore, l renew my request for
approval by the Board of Review of a
Rule Three which will permit the use
of the quarter Of highest earnings as
the basis of determining the claim
ants benefits when no 'full-time' week
basis can be established for him."
In turning to the quarter of highest
earnings as the alternate formula in
Ohio, the administrator pointed out
that the Bureau is following a prece-
dent already we'll established in unem-
ployment insurance procedure, and
actually operative in "A out of 81
states and territories.
BASED upon nearly two years OF
experience, technicans of the Ohio
Bureau are convinced that use of the
high quarter principle will eliminate
the greatest portion of the inequties
in payment of benefits to claimants
which could not be avoided under the
present unsatisfactory Rule Three,
the letter further asserts.
The Ohio Bureau chief said the pro
posal is not calculated to remedy al
Of the seeming inequities which have
been found to occur, but, should remove
the largest single cause of dissatis

he argued, at is always the worker
who suffers along with the public be-
cause quality materials and workman

not, ask why not.

The long awaited vote on the ques-
ton Of placing fine on the members
who do not attend meetings was voted
on at this meeting. The members who
do not attend at least one meeting
out of four will be fined 25 cents. This
question was thoroughly discussed by
many of the members present and it
was finally passed by about two to
one. 1t is hoped that members who
are reluctant to attend our meetings
will use this as reminder, rather
than something compulsory.
