case" Judge Parker told Roun-
tree.
In speaking to Royce McClelland'
Gameweu attorney, the judge SAID,
"rYou also may appeal for a
Supreme court stay. But my advice
is that if the GameweE company
seeks any relief at all in the case,
it should file a regular civil suit
for damages
No Comment
Neither Rountree nor McClel-
land would comment yesterday
afternoon on whether they would
pursue further action in the case.
Immediately after the judge
handed down his decision, Frank
W. Petersen, supervisor Of in
stallation and service for the
Horni Manufacturing corpora
ton, revealed that the company
has been building the Ill fire
alarm boxes" entirely according
to specific atoms" ever since the
| contract was awarded some time
ago.
Felt Confident
I'VE felt confident that the city
would win the case" Petersen
said, 80 we went ahead with
our work in order that the boxes
could be delivered to the city as
quickly as possible"
The entire fire-alarm box case
hinged on the fact that although
the Horni sample did not meet
all the specifications the city
councils resolution awarding the
contract to Horni stipulates that
the final products do meet them.
Plaintiff Attempts
Rountree and McCle1land
attempted to prove that the coun-
Gil "acted in bad faith and showed
favoritism' in accepting a box
which did not meet specifica-
tons"
I'VE contend, Rountree said,
'that the council showed favori-
tism in accepting the Horni box.
And when the council agreed
that the Horni company bring
the final boxes up to specifica-
tons, the council was actually
accepting not a fact but an unful-
filled promise"
Campbell Counters
City attorney w. B. Camp
bell countered with, mo favori-
tism was shown in awarding the
contract to the lowest bidder who
faithfully promises, in black and
white, to comply with the COM
plete specifications and submits
a 100 per cent security bond"
Star Gamewell witness in yes
terday's court session was Her.
bert A. Friede, expert electric
ian from Washington, D. c.
Made No Test
Friede asserted that the Horni
box did not meet specifica-
tons, but under cross-examina-
ton by City Attorney Campbell
he revealed that he did not test
either the Horni or Gamewell
box but was bss'ng his opinion

making of good athlete. The foot
ball section deals with blocking,
passing, catching, offensive and de-
fensive play. In the same manner,
Mr.. Pashko covers basketball, base
ball, and track. The author also
emphasizes the different physiques
needed for various positions on the
teams, physical requirements, abil-
tiles and skills, necessary training,
personal health and habits, safety
precautions and inside tips" on
each sport. 1t is hoped that this
