Rugged His wife

Rugged His Wife
He is Sneered at by modern
Bohenlians because of what they
call his middle class virtues"
But Coolidge is not ashamed to
be known for his thrift, hard
work, honesty and long, happy
married life.
On primary election night
when returns showed him a vic
tor, his first act before the
throng at his campaign head
quarters was to hug and kiss his
wife, one of the most gracious
little women in Massachusetts,.
An enterprising newspaper
cameraman snapped the sponta-
neous picture. you shouldn't
have done that" complained a
stuffed shirt politician. THAT
was undignif1ed in a candidate
for Governor"
whats undignified in express
ling my feelings for the woman
who made this success possible ?"
replied Coolidge.
Saved Tenement Tots Lives
Coolidge loves children. His
greatest relaxation is playing
with his grandchildren after
hard days campaigning. For
years he served as a school COM
mittee chairman and gave his
community some of the finest
schools in the state.
AS a director of private chart
ties he raised the money to send
sick tenement district tots to
fresh air camps in the country
Many a young man and woman
is alive and healthy today be-
cause OF what Coolidge did for
them.
Tolerance in Daily Life
All kinds of people like to work
with Coolidge. He doesn't see
people divided from one another
into compartments of race, creed,
nationality origin or politics. To
Coolidge they are neighbors. A
Down East" Yankee, born in
Maine, Coolidge for years has
had as law associates a Yankee
brother, an Irish-American and
Jewish American. His secre-
tary as Lieutenant Governor was
of Franco American stock. His
organization manager In this
campaign is of Italo-American
blood. And it's been that way
all through his private life and
public career.
Jokes About Pilgrims
Coolidge not only is the fourth
cousin of President Calvin Cool
idge, he is the ninth in descent
from the first Pilgrim Governor
Of Massachusetts, whom he likes
to call 'the first immigrant"

with such a distinguished family

many people irrespective of ira
ditional politics, are attracted to
him. The Coolidge sense of fair
play, the Coolidge high prin-
ciples, the Coolidge sincerity are
factors. in the deep respect he
wins and holds.
He was elected President of the
Senate in 1914 by the unanimous
vote of both parties - a tribute
to his fairness rare in modern
political history. When he retired
as President, Governor Tobin ap-
peared on the Senate rostrum
and paid public tribute to the
Coolidge fairness.
The Coolidge character is one
of the reasons why this election
differs from the traditional cleo
ton. People know that Coolidge
is not biased partisan and thus
can work with any good citi-

Would Protect State Employees
Coolidge looks on the COVER
gnorship as a challenge in which
a genuine bipartisan spirit can
be shown that will be equal to
the needs of a Commonwealth in
the shadow of war.
He is eager to surround him
self with others with the same
views so that together, after next
January, they can give proper
government service purged OF
wastes, extravagances and dupli-
Gated efforts.
Coolidge doesn't agree with
those who would use a meat
cleaver on state departments
He has great respect for the
ability and the faithfulneSs OF
state employees, who keep our
institutions functioning.
What enrages Coolidge is the
presence of incompetent palace
favorites," appointed by the Gov
ernor's office, who let regular
civil service personnel do all the
work while the political pets
draw bigger pay for doing almost
nothing. Coolidge would remove
these drones and protect regu-
lar state employees, giving them
a sense of security and oppor-
tunity so that they would fee
proud to work for the Common
wealth.
Money for Sick and Afflicted
Coolidge knows that over the
years Massachusetts, has been 9
leader among states in estab-
fishing some of the finest hos
pitfalls, schools, clinics, welfare

pendent children and other hui
manitarian services.

Robinson Beats Dykes
On Split Decision
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

CHICAGO. Nov. Welter-
weight Champion Ray (Sugar)
Robinson won another fight last
night. settling for 1o-round split
decision when a knockout seemed
inevitable several times.
The victim of Robinson's 121st
victory was Bobby Dykes. young
and game Miami, Fla, hopeful.
The match was not for Sugars
title. He weighed 157 pounds, 10
pounds over the welter limit, to
Dykes 148l2.
Despite the champions evident
superiority. it was a split decision.
The referee and one judge gave
the decision to Robinson. A Sec
ond judge voted the bout a draw
A slim crowd of 5,794, probably
held down by a television showing
of the bout, paid gross gate of
$21 .233.
Several times during the fight
especially during the last rounds,
Robinson's two handed f1urries
left the 22-year-old Dykes nearly
helpless. But each time, when ii
seemed the champion could not
be denied a knockout, Sugar
backed away. letting Dykes re-
cuperate.
Dykes followed these episodes
with furious. but generally futile
assaults on the 80 year old
Robinson and was cheered for his
aggreSSiyeneSs.

Middies' Scouts Warn
Of Tulane Manpower;

BY the Assoeioted Press

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Nov. 9.-Tu-
lane has been installed a one
point favorite over improving
Navy in their game Saturday at
Baltimore and the Middies' coach,
Eddie Erdelatz, is inclined to
agree with the odds-makers.
Erdelatz said his team is in
good shape after playing its best
game of the season in losing to
Notre Dame last week, but is re-
straining enthusiasm after hear
ing from his scouts.
"Our scouts tell me that Tulane
has the best manpower of any
team on our schedule this season,
with the exception OF Army"
Erdelatz said.
Quite naturally, ErdelatZ has
considerable respect for the lads
from Louisiana but is hoping Navy
can chalk up its second win. In
an attempt to achieve that goal
he drove the squad through offen-
sive and defensive scrimmages
yesterday.
The Middies no longer are
plagued by injuries as at the start
of the season, but there still are
a few. ....
Bernie Botula. top defensive line
backer. who injured his leg against
Notre Dame, will not play this
week. Yesterday he was still listed

An offensive battle between two
of last years finest quarterbacks
can be expected starting at l pm.
tomorrow when the Quantico Ma
rines football team entertains
strong Camp Lejeune.
Quantico is quarterbacked by
Eddie LeBaron, College of Pacific
star last season. who has led the
Marines to seven WIS in eight
starts. His opposite number with
Camp Lejeune will be Harry Ag-
ganis, Boston University back who
got almost as many headlines on
the East Coast in 1949 as LeBaron
did out West.
Washington fans will remember
Agganis as the left-handed passer
who led an undefeated Boston U.
team against Maryland in Boston
last season and gave the Terps a
busy afternoon before the visitors
finally eked out a 14-13 victory.
Agganis gained the All-American
honorable mention list last season
and he is displaying the same form
In 1850. He has thrown 76 passes
for Camp Lejeune and completed
81, tossed nine touchdown heaves
and punted for an average Of 41.6.
Agganis is lefty all the way
punting as well as throwing from
the southpaw side.
LeBaron has been equally
spectacular for Quantico. The
5-foot-7 quarterback leads the
Quantico club in passing. punting
and total offense. LIE Baron has
thrown 96 passes and completed
49 for 805 yards. His punting
average for "a kicks is 42.0.
Agganis won't be the only man
in the Camp Lejeune lineup that
Quantico will have to watch.

For Player Pensions

recommendation that the bulk of
the $3.50 received from World
Series radio and television rights
be put into the player pension
fund will be put before the base
ball club owners at a meeting in
Cincinnati November 16.
Baseball Commissioner Chan
dler said last night an agreement
to make the recommendation was
reached in conference yesterday
He said he conferred at his home
here with Marty Marion of the
Cardinals. the National League
player representative, and Freddie
Hutchinson of the Tigers, repre-
Z sentative of the American League
players.
Chandler said the three had at
their disposal full information
from insurance actuaries and tax
experts for study. He added that
the league representative have
mo differences" about putting the
money into a central fund from
which pensions are paid.
A minimum of 10 years service
in the major leagues would make
a player eligible for a $100-a-
month pension after reaching the
age of so.
The owners must ratify the pro-
posal for putting the money into
pensions.
A demand that the Series
money be distributed among the
Series players was made earlier
by the players. Chandler said
there is no disagreement now on
how the money should be used.
