Texas LonghOrns Switch To Razzle Dazzle Football
By OSCAR FRALEY

United Press stan CorrespOndent)
 Dallas, Tex. Dec. 30.-(up)-The ra2zle- -dazzle type of southwest foot ball made famous by Slingin' Sammy Baugh and little Davey O'Brien was being revived by Dana x. Bible today in the hope that it would sweep his Texas Longhorns to victory over Georgia Tech in the annual Cotton Bowl game.
 Apparently abandoning the con- servative ground.gaining type of play that gave the Texans the con- ference championship, Bible in practice was concentrating on the hipper.dipper that made the south- west conference the original aerial circus of college football.
 The Longhorns, led by rugged Roy Dale Mckay, were really tossing the ball around in practice yester- day with Big Mac, the southwest's leading ground gainer, standing on the pitching end most of the time. The team spent 6 full hour on pass. ing, with Mckay huriing against the scrubs. Then 1t brushed up on its running attack = but not the straight bucks and end sweeps that led 1t to their circuit title. There were reverses with iaterals past the line of scrimmage and other dizzy didoes.
 The display made old timers re-. call Baugh, who later developed into professional footballs greatest aerial artist, and the scrappy little O,Brien. It indicated that Bible was count. ing on Q change of pace from his teams regular season routine to give the Longhorns their first bowl triumph on New Years Day.
 Changing Around
 Texas, one of the best defensive teams in the country this season, apparently was reverting to plans that made 1t one of the country's best offensive teams in l04l. Bible predicted a "wide open and high scoring game" and was counting on the best offense as his best defense.
 w. A. (BiiD Alexander, coach of the Georgia Tech Engineers for 9 years, wasn't to be caught mapping. Although he had planned only light workouts in preparation for the game, he held Q secret sa-immage yesterday.
 Alexander, who invented many gridiron tricks is a tough man when the chips are down. His teams have played in two bowl games dur ing that time and won both. The Engineers in 1928 defeated Caiifor. rlia in the Rose Bowl, 8 to 2, and in 193o beat Missouri, 2l to ? in the Orange Bowl.
 The odds on the game remained at 2 to 6 in favor of Georgia Tech, indicating that even in this hot-bed of southwest football, the home folks thought that Alexander might be right.

u. s. DEPARTMENT
OF LABOR

Cincinnati. The Shelby Shoe
Company, 1920 Seventh Street,
Portsmouth. Ohio, has been ord
cred to pay S25.379.3O in back
wages to 1926 employees under
the terms of a Judgment issued
by Judge John II. Druffel of the
L. S. District Court here. This
is the largest amount in back
wages to be collected under a
court order in Ohio since the
Wage and Hour Act became ef-
fettive in October 1888.
The complaint. filed by the
Wage and Hour Division. L. S.
Department of Labor. charged
the company with failure to pay
rs cents an hour to some OF its
employees prior to October 1889 :;
failure to pay at least 80 cents

April 1910: failure to pay s. cts.
an hour in violation of the shoe

order and failure to pay 40 cents
an hour in violation OF sub

company kept inaccurate hour
records in that employees work
ed during the lunch period. be-
fore regular starting time and
after quitting time and that such
time was not recorded and time
and one-half was not paid for
overtime hours.
This campany, engaged in the

AS heaven gave new star to
shine that first Christmas which
took place centuries ago. so may
the rays OF that light lead the
way once again to the manger
crude and bare.
IT'S. an old story OF how the
shepherds and wise men saw
that star flickering in the East.
They beheld its glory and follow
place where He lay because there
ed it until it stood high over the
was no room in the inn.
Yes, we all know the story
yet as the Eve of the Nativity
draws nigh a modern miracle is
performed for each year the
story of the Birth of the Savior
is told in story and song; old but
ever new to the ears of all lis
teners. .... ...... ........
This year in Martins Ferry
the story will be told in pageant
form called The Prince of Peace.
Here we see peasants from the
war torn soil of Europe search
ing for peace which they find at
the foot of the manger on Beth
lehem's plains.
Twenty youngsters who almost
tear the hall down before rehear-
sci with shouts of laughter and
play change to twenty actors as
the first notes of Come Hither
Yc Faithful are sounded. To
them this acting became serious
and they are once again taken
back centuries to that First
Christmas.
You too can go with them to
the stable where was born the
Prince of Peace SO many years
ago. The Christmas celebration
will take place Dec. "a at 800
| p. m. in the hall. Every one will
be most welcome.

HELP SPEED TRAFFIK

With the curtailment of auto
mobile driving, street cars and
busses are carrying peak loads
these days. The Greater Cleve-
land Safety Council suggests that
passengers can help keep traffic
moving if they will do two
things: First, make it a point to
have the exact fare ready when
you board the bus or street car.
If the driver or conductor had to
change a dollar bill for every
passenger he'd be delayed badly
in starting. Second, try to be
near the exit door = ready to
get off - when the bus or street
car stops. Those two considerate
acts will speed traffic, avoid con-
gestion, and reduce accidents. In
cidentally, you'll get to your des-
tination more quickly yourself!

they felt, knowing we were still

must see how important our exis-

them to know they are with us
in spirit, always. This not only
includes Our eighteen Jrs.. onr
sixty some lodge members, but
all the boys in the service of our

Army life seems to be very
agreeable for our Salem Saxons.
They all come back looking
stronger then ever. We were all
glad to see Pvt. Steve Fronius

AIRPLANE ENTHUSIl
ASTS ARE WRONG

The argument goes merrily
On between the. air-power en-
thusiasts and those who think
that the airplane, vital as it is. can
not win a, war alone.
Such persuasive friends OF the
plane as Major de Seversky are
convinced that if the United Ma
tons could build and keep in
operation enough planes. Ger
many and Japan could be literal
ly obliteraled from the skies -
and that major land operations
would thus be unnecessary. The
fact that the airplane has not yet
proven 4 decisive weapon means
nothing in their opinion, because
no nation has cS yet been able
to keep up air attacks on the
scale necessary.
The majority OF military ex-
pcrts don't go as far as this. They
argue that relatively few OF the
bombs dropped by planes ever
hit important objectives, and
that the damage done can, as a
rule, be swiftly remedied. They
point out that constant progress
IS being made in air defense -
such as camouhagc, antiaircraft
guns and fighter planes. They
think that the airplane can do an
all-important job in ''softening
up" an enemy and in disrupting
his supply hnes-but that it will
be up to navieS and armies to
finish the job,
No one can say with certainty
which side is right.

THE WRITING ON

The writing on the wall is
everywhere now, for anyone to
see-regimentation. Regimenta-
ton of jobs, OF income, of liv-
ing conditions. of time. thought
and action.
This is one OF the demands of
total war in seeking the greatest
efficiency and production from
available man and women-power
How to so gear output that our
standards OF living at home will
remain American" and our ar
med forces will be supplied on
time with all the unprecedented
needs of global warfare, is the
problem.
In theory, it is protection thru

troll Of individual activity for the
country's good in time of emer-
gency.
While our people willingly
accept temporary restrictions
as a necessity of war, the thing
to remember is that word ''tem-
porary". We must not drift into
mental attitude that will pave
the way for permanent regimen
tation. That is not the kind of
people we are.
What we have, what we are
fighting for, is our roots, grow

business. That privilege is what
we must go back to, after the
