MONACO MAGNET
BY Scooper Man

Monaco, Pa, Feb. 21--Yo
kids-more fun! Just a hop, skir
and a jump to Ellwood City last
Saturday-we grabbed advant-
age of the short trip and took the
whole town with us to witness
the basketball carnival. We opet
ed the festivities with clatter
of cow bells when our Blue
Devils battled Cleveland West
in the first game of the evening
The lanky Cleveland cowboys
had us pretty we'll fenced in
during the first quarter, bat we
were ahead at the half; and
smooth handling OF the Monaco
team by coach Al Roemischer
kept adding to our score until
the final roundup found us il,
front 47-29. A great big hand
and well done to the Monaco
cheering section for the noise
and loyal support.
The dance at the club proved
to be a social success, and as
usual there was great turnout

On that day "Brusher" was shown
of as If he were something right out
of this world. Two years later he
rode 227 winners in Canada.

|Ex-Jockey, so, Gets the Fever
And May Return to Silks in NJ

Grandfather Herbert is up OF
dawn every morning to ride the
horses Of two nearby stables at his
home in Newbury, Berkshire. This
exercise, he says, keeps him as AT
as the thoroughbreds.
It's quite possible that when the
best of Britain's 3-year -old fillies
get to the starting gate for the Al
Oaks, Herbert will be in there throw
ing his riding ability and experience
against the present day crop Of
jockeys.
Herbert has lost count Of the
number Of horses he has steered
first past the winning post. But he
does clearly remember the 100-to-l
shot he got home in the Canadian
Derby In 1909 and the winners he
rode for the ex-Kaiser Of Germany
shortly before the start Of World
War I.
During World War II his knowl-
edge Of the German language and
ability to spot a German anywhere
led to the arrest of a woman who
was asking a couple of officers a
series Of suspicious questions in q
hotel bar.

Riff in Coast Group
Over Big Nine Bowl
Pact IS Hinied
1y Mo Assoelaied Press

Los ANGELES, Nov. ls.-Appar-
emily intent upon writing new
chapter or two in Rose Bowl history,
Pacific Coast Conference members
from here and elsewhere along the
seaboard-together with represen-
tatives Of the Big Nine began con-
verging today on Berkeley for an
unprecedented meeting.
Delegates from the local PEG
memberS-U. G. L. A. and Southern
California--were determined to play
. leading role in any agreements
reached. Their teams tangle Satur-
day for the right to represent the
conference in the bowl January l.
Both are agreed that Army should
be the opponent.
In Chicago, 1t was learned that
the Big Nine, which wants FIVE
year closed shop pact on the Pasa-
dena classic, might not be averse
to stepping aside In favor of Army
this year. A five-man delegation
including Commissioner X. L. Will
son. L. w. st. John, Ohio State
athletic director. and Prof. Ralph
H. Aigler, Michigan; Karl E. Leib,
Iowa, and Frank Richart, Illinois,
left by plane last night.
General attitude Of the PEGS
California members appeared favor
able toward adopting the Big Mines
proposal with notifications. But
from out Of the Northwest, which
has six Of the conferences 10 MEM
bers, came discordant note.
A poll by the Portland Oregonian
indicated these schools would OPP
pose permanent bowl alliance with
the Western Conference II 1t means
slamming the door to other insti-
buttons.
On one point, all seemed agreed
Tomorrow's meeting should be the
hottest In conference annals. It also
will be unique in that the entire
conference will, In effect, be choos-
ing the Eastern bowl representa-
tive.

Georgetown concludes its eight
game card In New York Saturday
against an improving New York q.
eleven that boasts two-game win

victories and two defeats for the
season.
George Washington was storing its

Colonials concluded their season
Saturday against william and Mary

team that had success through the
air in its previous games and adj
mittedly had no ground attack,
stuck doggedly to the ground and
kept punching at the middle of the
William and Mary line, to no avail.
The Colonials missed Bill Spang-
Ter, their regular quarterback who
was out with injuries, but they still
had Joe Buell. and John Shullen-
barger, their aerial artists. Between
them Buell. and Shullenbarger tried
only ten passes and half Of those
were the Inflated screen variety.
Maryland, buoyed by Tommy
Mont's finest performance of the
season which helped the Terps to q
PAT triumph over Washington and
Lee, heard bad news from Michi-
gan State where the Spartans upset
Marquette, 900.
Loses 5 of 8 Games.
Michigan State has lost five out Of
eight and there has been talk Of
discomfort among the alumni. The
Spartans lost to Mississippi State,
Boston College, Cincinnati, Ken
lucky and Michigan by score that
hurt, 55-7.
The Spartans are capable Of good
football at times, however, as they
own the only victory scored over
Penn State this season, 1915, after
trailing 1870 at halftime.
Georgetown, true to Coach Jack
Hagerty's preseason prediction, is
playing top-fiight football on the
last half Of its schedule. The Hoyas
ran over q rugged Scranton eleven,
35-7, last week, with Shoots Babe
Baranowski at the controls of the
'T' formation and the spread. Bara-
nowski gained Nationwide atten-
ton from his feat of drop-kicking
four points after touchdown.
N. Y. U. Routed by Boston.
New York U. stepped out of It's
class earlier In the season to play
Boston College and take an almost
unbelievable 1875 lacing, but other
wise the Violets have lost only one
other game, to Rutgers, $50, and
have beaten Brooklyn College, Ro-
chester, Gettysburg, Lehigh and
Fordhan1, the last two In succession.
The Hoyas and Violets have met
two common opponents. Georgetown
lost 20-13, to Boston College, but
whereas the VioletS won, 1928 over
Fordham, Georgetown required a
safety to beat the Rams, 81.

the company for the proposed
change is that coin collector
boxes are no longer being manu-
featured.
This sounds good-until you
remember that the manufacturer
who refuses" to make coin
boxes is the Western Electric
Company, part of the same
American Telephone and Teie-
graph Company as the Illinois
Bell Telephone.
COIN-BOX telephone service
may not seem too important to
those who don't need it, but a
quick look at a few facts will
show why such a large number
of AFL, CLIO, and independent un.
ions are supporting the fight to
retain it.
228,000 telephone subscribers
now have coin box service. Many,
perhaps most, of these are people
who would not be able to afford
telephone service at all, for emer-
gencies or otherwise, if the coin
collector boxes were removed.
Coin boxes not only prevent
subscribers from being victims of

phones, but make possible a pay

overcharged for a call, and is not
at the mercy of the company's

and billing for calls.

Following the lead of the Sur
face Lines and the Rapid Tran
sit Company, the phone compa-
ny is attempting to put its foot
in the door for higher rates by
disseminating coin-box installa-
tons.
Although this move is being
fought by the Commercial Te-
Iephone Workers Union, the
city of Chicago, the state OF
Illinois, and many labor and
consumer groups, there has
been virtual silence on the is
sue by the Chicago daily press.
The newspapers approached by
the Telephone Users League,
group set up to fight elimina-
ton of the coin-box phones,
refused to accept paid ads at
lacking the proposal.
GIST of the issue is the atti.
tude indicated by the telephone
company that decisions such as
whether subscribers may or may
not have coin-box service is a
matter for the company alone to
