As Blue Team Goes !.
80 Yards to Score
BY LEROY SIMMS,
Press Sports Writer


MONTGOMERY. Ala, Dec. 3d.
sergt. Charley Trippi. the former
Georgia star and current pride of
the Third Air Force eleven, was the
chief contributor today in "A to 7
victory of the South All-Stars over
their Northern opponents in the
annual Blue-Gray contest.
Trippi, member of the 1912 Rose
Bowl eleven at Georgia, passed and
ran the Blue lads into defeat before
the game was many minutes old,
pacing two drives for touchdowns in
the first 18 minutes.
Thereafter he and such standouts
as Jack Russell, the ex-Baylor ace,
Center Tex Warrington, the Auburn
All-America, and Martin Ruby, for
mer Texas A. and NJ tackle, were
out OF the game for long periods,
but the work had been done.
North's Ground Game Stopped.
So great was the superiority OF the
South's line that Blue running plays
gained only 18 yards. Bob Hoern-
schemeyer of Indiana almost passed
the losers back into the running,
however, with an even dozen COM
pleted tosSes, most of them to Co.
lumbia's Jack Kelleher.
The South drove for a score with
the opening kickoff, Trippi banging
over from the / to end a 65-yard
march. The Gray had gotten back
to the North "a as the first period
ended, and Pete Layden, Texas full
back, rammed the ball over four
minues later.
Still another South score came be-
fore the end Of the half on a 24-yard
pass from Yam Title of Louisiana
State to Bob McClain of Mississippi.
Hornschemeyer's Passes Click.
The final South marker was on
the opening play of the final quarter
when Title went through the line
for the final 6 yards of a 40-yard
drive begun in the third period.
HorSchemeyer went to work, COM
pleting four out of five passes to get
most of the yardage in the North's
8o-yard march for a score. The
pay-of toss was to Ernie Bonelli
who took it just short of the goa
line and stepped across.
The North threatened again wher
Bob Ravenberg of Indiana inten,
cepted a pass from Title and was
pulled down on the South 8, but
Warrington, Ruby and Russell went
back into the game and the South
took the ball on downs and had
gotten beyond midfield at the final
whistle.

Senate Sends Tax Bill
ToConference DESPITE
Presidents Criticism
New Measure Will Add
Levies Of $2,275, SOC, 900
To Nations Revenues
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A $2,275 900, 900 new tax bill,
criticized by President Roosevelt
as unrealistic and yielding hard
ly a fifth Of the Treasury's goal,
was headed today toward con-
ference.
Eight weeks after receiving the
bill from the House, the Senate yes
terday approved it in amended form
by voice vote. The measure carries
approximately s130, ,00o. 900 more rev.
enue than the House version and is
expected to swell annual Treasury
receipts to more than $43 SOC, 900 900.
Chairman George of the Finance
Committee will head the Senate
conferees. who will meet next week
with their counterparts from the
House. Others on the Senate list
are Senators Walsh of Massachu-
sets, Barkley Of Kentucky and Con-
nally Of Texas, Democrats; La Fol-
lette, Progressive, of Wisconsin and
Vandenberg of Michigan and Davis
OF Pennsylvania. Republicans.
Principal Differences.
Principal differences between the
House and Senate bills involve the
treatment of individual income
taxes and the renegotiation of war
contracts. The two chambers were
virtually together on increases in
the corporate excess profits tax, esti-
mated to bring in $500, ,700, 900 more
than the present rates.
The Senate bill would capture
1864 800, 900 more from individual
income taxpayers, through elimina-
tlon OF the earned income credit and
the deductions for Federal excise
taxes paid. However. the Senators
jettisoned the House program for
lntegrating the Victory tax with the
income tax on the ground the ma
chinery was too cumbersome. In
stead, the Senate voted to make the
Victory tax straight 3 per cent lew
on income over 1924 q year, reeard-
less OF family status.
Nearly half tho extra revenue
81 oil 100 900 - would be obtained
from new and higher excise taxes
on a long list of items, including
liquor, cosmetics, furs, jewelry, bowl
ing alleys, admittance charges and
transportation tickets. Illustrative
OF the sharp boosts was the rise in
the liquor tax rate from Sc to 50 a

Social Security Tax Frozen.
The excise increases become effec-
tive on the first day of the first
month beginning at least 10 days
after enactment-which in all like
llhood means March l. The income
tax changes will not affect returns
for 1913.
Over the strenuous opposition of
both the President and Treasury
the Senate voted to freeze the social
security payroll tax for 1914 at the
present level Of l per cent each on
employers and employees, instead of
permitting an automatic advance to
per cent, as provided in the Social
Security Act.
The freeze provision has not been
