Then why moi try the Portal Treat
ment. 1t is generally accepted in the
medical field that alcoholism is a
disease and should be treated as such.
And few would disagree that a treat
ment which benefits a sizeable num-
Der of people is at least worthy of
being tried by others. The Portal
Treatment tends to relieve the more
acute symptoms of alcoholism and to
put the sufferer in better position to
help himself. The formula has been
used extensively in the United States
and Canada for 40 years and has
established an outstanding record of
accomplishment.

rude Abode out Of mud and
sticlS. Somewhere, sometime,
he discovered tl,at hunks Of
earth would be better for
building II they were tempered
with flre. Thus It was that
the first bricks came into
being.
The brick the common
place brick-l1as furnished
geologists many q clue to the
history and development Of
mankind. Excavations at Ur
Of the Chaldees, city of Abra-
ham, have yielded bricks
made 5000 years ago. The
ruin Of a palace in Meso-
potamia, built $500 BE-, was
partly Of brick. The Tower of
Babel, according to the Old
Testament, was made of brick.
And so were the walls of
Babylon and the Great Wall
of China.
As the art of brickmaking
progressed Its practitioners
began to get fancy. In the
eighth and ninth centuries
the brickmakers of Bengal
built temples of small bricks
with artistic designs upon
them. The old Romans, who
made very good bricks in
deed, began coating them
with beautifully colored glazes.
The brick market hit a
slump between the fourth and
the middle of the 18th CEN
turies. What construction
there was consisted mainly of
stone and wood. But brick
came back in the full flower
Of renaissance in the 18th and
18th centuries, when the
European architects executed
Tudor, Jacobean and Queen
Anne style In beautiful brick.
It wasn't until the middle
Of the 18th century that ma
chinery was introduced to the
brickmaking process. Up to
that time it had been a hand
craft.

sion" Webster continued. "Any
one besides Donovan will delight
me- I think this is sportsman
like request and I hope the board
will act favorably on it."
Walcott, himself, didn't say
anything. Having finished his
regular training yesterday in
silence, the challenger-father of
six-put on the finishing touches
at Grenoch, NJ, today in a
gymnasium session so private
that even his sparring partners
were made to stay in the yard.
Louis once was asked facetl-
ously if it were true that ne
carried a "house referee" with
him (meaning Donovan), and
the champion replied with a
dead pan that it sure was.
"Want to see it?" He asked,
and held up his huge right fist
for inspection.
The champ completed his box
ING chores at Pompton Lakes,
NJ, today, and plans no more
than road work and setting-up
exercises tomorrow.
He expects to scale about 2l2
to Walcott's 1874. There was talk
today that the odds against Wal
colt might mount to better than
1O-to-1 before the bout.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3. -(P)-The
curtain of silence which has sep
arated Jersey Joe Walcott from
the outside world for the past
week parted slightly today to
permit the challenger's manager
TO say that both he and Jersey
Joe would like to see some ref
cree other than Arthur Donovan
in the ring Friday night when
they tackle Joe Louis at the gar
den.
81 am not questioning Dono-
vans ability, you understand, y
said Joe Webster, the Camden
cafe proprietor who handles
Walcott. "neither am I question
ing his honesty. But he has han
died most of the champion S
fights and l think the fans, as
well as myself and Walcott,
would welcome a change.
A glance at the records shows
that Donovan has, indeed, pre-
sided as the third man on II of
the % occasions Louis has de-
Tended his title since he knocked
out Jim Braddock in 1887. He
worked the champions most re-
cent fight. when he knocked out
Tami Mauriello in the first

CHICAGO, Dec. 3-P)-The

today threatened to withdraw all
of this nations teams from the
1e48 winter games if the Swiss
Organizing Committee adheres to
it's preference for the ice hockey
entry of the professional and
Commercial" amateur hockey as

seemed unlikely in immediate

At St. Moritz, Switzerland,
where the winter games are
scheduled Jan. 30-Feb. S, gen
eral commissioner Carl Mater OF
the Swiss Organization commit
tee, said the AHA's entry had
been accepted by his group at an
informal meeting attended by

MIAMI, Fla, Dec. 3-P-
Gulfstream Parks two days of
enforced idleness was ended late
today when President James
Dom and some 200 horse owners
reached a compromise agreement
on the increase of minimum
purses and daily distribution.
At an open meeting attended
by track officials, some 200 horse
owners and State Racing Com
mission members, Dom agreed
to boost the minimum daily
purse from $4,000 to $2,40J with
the added stipulation that the
daily distribution be not less than
$4,000 - exclusive of stake
events.
The compromise - the horse
men originally demanded a mini
mum purse of $4,000 - ended a
stalemate which began last Sun
day when the horsemen voted
unanimously to demand the purse
increase.

R0DENBERC TALKS
TO CARD OFFICIAL

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 3-(P)-Bob
Rodenberg, president of the
Baltimore Colts of the ALI
America football conference, ar
rived today for the announced
purpose of talking over the pos
sible purchase of the st. Louis
Browns.
Rodenberg, who has said he
would like to buy the American
League club and move the tran
chise to Baltimore, made no et-
fort to contact representatives OF
the Browns, most of whom were
reported out Of the city.
Instead, the Baltimore sports
man went directly to the ottlce
OF Fred Saigh, Jr., vlce,presl'
dent of the St. Louis Cardinals,
to determine the attitude OF the
new owners of the Cardinals to-
ward buying Sportsman's Park,
the ~Browns-owned stadium used
by both St. Louis Clubs.
Saigh opened that avenue TOR
RodenDerg by saying previously
that the Cardinals would DC IN
terested in buying the PARK at
the right price" but there Was
no immediate report on the out
come of their discussion today.
Prior to meeting with Salgh,
Rodenberg had announ led tnat
the main thing he wanted to find
out was what disposition could
be made of the bal park.
He said he is supplied with
sufficient capital to swing a deal
for the purchase Of the Browns
but. declared II don't want the
park. If l get the franchise l
want the Browns in Baltimore.
As for the actual negotiations
with the Browns, Richard Muck
erman, Club President, and Gen
eral Manager Bill Dewitt, were
out of the city, and James V.
Dunbar, attorney Tor Mucker-
man, said that Rodenberg had
made no effort to get in touch
with him.

- Betty Brudnicki, Is, said to-
day she's an "ex" girl football
player.
Miss Brudnicki, a student at
Pulaski high school here, suf-
fered a fractured right leg Oct.
,26 while paying in an All-Girl
football game and still has the
member in cast.
..I'm all through with foot
ball." she said. II think our
team is broken up, too"
Miss Brundnicki said she had
heard of frankie Groves, the
Stinnett, Tex, lass who played
one game at tackle with her
high school team this fall.

opined, "But l never had any

the determination to get into
the lineup next fall.
1t put the Texas interscholas-
tic league in something of a
dilema.
There is no rule in Texas
schoolboy football that says a
girl can't play.
So the State Executive Com
mittee is meeting to discuss
passing one that will forbid the
gals from usurping the grid
sport.
Interscholastic League heads
upon it as publicity stunt -
or "that's what lots of people
seem to think" said League
Director Roy Bedichek.
frankie, at the time she paly-
ed tackle for Stinnett against
Groom and captured the nations
headlines, declared she was
deadly serious about it. She had
been playing sandlot football all
her life. The coach told her, one
day in a practice game at a
picnic, not to be too rough on
his boys. So frankie, instead of
battling them, joined them.
frankie appeared in the last
game of the season and the big
gest crowd ever to see foot
ball game in Stinnett turned
out.
Said Bedichek: "We feel there
should be something done to
prevent such publicity stunts
from taking place."
At Stinnett, coach Truman
Johnson of Stinnett high school
declared the playing of the girl
in the game against Groom was
not a publicity stunt. 'F'rankle
Groves football playing was not
a publicity stunt; it was serious
BUSINESS" said Johnson. "The
interscholastic league is mis-
taken"
He said frankie was preparing
a statement which she would
wire to the interscholastic lea
que.
