DANIEL CARTER BEARD

Many men as well as boys Will
feel a distinct loss as result Of the
death Of Daniel Carter Beard. CO.
founder Of the Boy Scout move
ment which is doing so much TO
build fine manhood in America.
Until the very last days OF his
life the gray-bearded leader of the
Scouts himself the epitomiza-
ton OF the wiry, clean-liyed Scout
Beard had taken keen and
active interest in the organiza'
ton he helped create.
Beard lived scouting, was scout
ing. Campfires OF thousands OF
Boy Scout camps in this country
were oft enliyened by the appear
ance of this shy, slender man
seeking A seat on a convenient
log. breaking into talk seasoned
with dry Wit only when urged by
the shiny-eyed lads about the fire.
Doctor James E West. chief
Scout executive OF the Boy Scouts
OF America. told It all in a few
words today when, Of Beard, he
said:
He had the sturdy heart and
the strong spirit Of the cid pio-
neer.'
TO American boyhood he gave
that same heart, the same spirit
the love OF the outdoors. the
quest for exploration, the spirit OF
derring do.
Through the few generations
that interviewed from organization
of the Boy Scouts 10 the present
day, Beard saw that little pioneer
band grow into one Of the strong
est forces for clean, righteous
living in the country.
He was prolific writer OF
tales for boys, tales that dealt in
xoodlore and outdoor sports, and
through all OF these there ran the
spirit OF the pledge each Scout
takes 10 keep himself physical
" clean. mentally awake, moral
j. straight
Beard follows in death by only
q short time his idol, and the idol
OF thousands Of American boys,
Lord Robert Baden-Powell, found
er OF the worldwide scouting
movement. who died near Nairobi,
Kenya Colony, a few months ago.

My mind travelled to the lem

make attacks on the United States

II japanese leaders had used good

themselves:

a great deal of ground. but China
is too big to swallow. Let US give

Instead Of doing that they dared
to attack other nations. In that

Here was a spot in which the

however, was too experienced a

He knew that South could win, II
he played a low diamond. and that
she could then run a diamond with

he played low, and South won with

Loyden 'Roi|rooded' to Throne,
Three Pro Owners Claim

"A majority of the club owners
voted to hire Layden and his ap-
pointment is legal and official
At a recent meeting in Chicago the
plan was to select the commissioner
at the April meeting, but circum-
stances made it imperative that we
hire Layden without delay if we
we're to get him. Layden's con-
tract with Notre Dame expired last
wee kand the university pronered
him a new one. Neither Layden nor
Notre Dame could wait until an
April meeting"
Couldn't Inform Bell.
Bell charged that Layden had been
"railroaded" illegally over John p.
Kelly, Philadelphia Democratic
leader, and Frank Mccormick,
Minnesota athletic director.
"a majority of the club owners
voted for Layden and a majority is
all the league constitution demands
on any matter of business" Halas
said.
"It is true that we were unable to
inform Bell of the official vote, but
that was because he was travelling
en- route to Florida
Bell stated in Philadelphia that
the first he knew Of Layden's ap-
pointment was when he read 1t In

amazing basket ball winning streak
goes on and on.
Seaton Hall made it 38 in a row
over a three season stretch by Just
running all over St. Francis of
Pennsylvania, 1922. 1t was the
Jerseyans' 14th straight conquest
this season.
The 10th Madison Square Garden
double header of the season followed
form. although only 9454 fans
turned up to see it. First ST. Johns
nipped Manhattan. 37-35, on Tommy
Baer's three field goals in the last
two minutes. Then New York Uni
versity trounced St. Francis of
Brooklyn, 1927. 1t was the Violets'
10th win of the year.
Temple carried the Eastern banner
into the Midwest and turned on the
heat down the stretch to nose out
Loyola of Chicago, 4340, after
trailing, 31-17, well into the second
half.
Yale barely managed to beat

Army it's fifth straight setback, 1926.
Princeton snapped out of two
game losing streak to whip Rutgers,

A couple of other Eastern Inter-

and Harvard, also came through.

CHICAGO, Feb. 6.-Elmer Layden
quit the cloisters of collegiate foot
ball for the turbulent pro grid busi-
ness last Monday and already he
has noticed the change.
The former Notre Dame coach
and athletic director found himself
in the middle of a controversy today
over his appointment as National
Professional Football League COM
missioner hardly before the ink on
his contract had dried.
Bert Bell, half -owner of the Phll-
adelphia Eagles, and two other club
owners-Alexis Thompson of Pitts
burgh and Dan Topping of Brook
untouched off the debate by
declaring that Layden had been
"railroaded" into Office.
All Legal, Says Halas.
The procedure followed in making
the appointment apparently caused
the squabble among pro owners.
Boiled down, it appears that COM
mittee delegated to interview three
prospective commissioners quit after
talking only to two, recommending
Layden precipitately because his
contract at Notre Dame had expired.
