to the gamblers originally did not
feel, upon their word, that they
were doing anything very wrong
in merely adjusting the score to
fit the point spread. Il was only
later, after they were hooked that
some of them actually took to
throwing games. The players you
will see out there this winter know
the facts of life.

NEW YORK R - The time ap.

homa SoonerS to quit fooling
around and make a rea, pitch for
membership in the Southwest Con-
ference, where their football play.
ing qualities would be more great.
ly appreciated than they are in the
Big Seven.
Addition of the Sooners would
round the Southwest Conference
into powerful eight-sehool group
whose championship race would
be even more rugged than it is
now. Also, it would guarantee the
Oklahoma team the privilege of
playing in the Cotton Bowl if it
won the title.
The simple fact is that there is
no real incentive nowadays to
build a great football dynasty I'M
less there Is a chance TO play in
one of the bowls. Probably it isn't
even economically sound. That is
one of the big talking points Of the
bowl critics.

If you ever see one of our in
door track stars limpi,.g around
the streets as though he had some
thing stuck in the toe of his shoe,
we are in position to tell you how
he got that way. Our authority is
Ray Weinberg, who hurdIed for
Australia in the Olympic Games
at Helsinki last summer and who
says he tried to induce several
American stars to compete in his
country this winter.
"They we're just not interested"
Weinberg told the Melbourne Ar
gus. "Some Of them make up 10
$3.50 for a single appearance at
an indoor meeting. One Of them
told me there is too much money
in the boards for him to visit Aus
trala."
Apparently under the impression
that they were talking with an
other member of the guild, the
Americans, according TO WeinbergS
went TO some pains TO fill him in
on the latest methods of paying
off in their country. This was our
favorite, as diyulged by the Argus:
Weinberg said most Of the stars
had private dressing rooms when
they appeared at the meetings.
On returning to change after APP
pearing on the track, they found
$3.50 tucked in the toe Of one OF
their shoes"
What will these slick promoters
think up next?

Oldest Member
Of Congress
May Retire

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. (INS)
Rep. Doughton (D) N. c., who
directs the powerful tax writing
committee in the House and at 88
is the oldest member of Congress,
said today he is considering re-
tireIlent from politics.
But the chairman of the Way
and Means committee tempered
this statement with the remark
that "great pressure" is being ex-
erted. by constituents to convince
him he should seek another two
year term.
Doughton, who has been a House
member for nearly Al years-he
first came to Congress March A.,
1911-said he would issue a state
ment on his intentions soon, but
is not ready to do so yet.
The Congressman, who is still
very active despite his age, added:
II have made all my plans to
retire this year. However, I have
been under great pressure from
folks back home to stay on.
ri have been a member of Con-
ress continuously longer than
anyone else, excepting Congress
man SABBATH from Illinois. I don't
know yet what I will do"
On Capitol Hill, however, it is
now generally believed the veteran
lawmaker will seek reelection,
which is apparently assured if he
agrees to be a candidate.
Doughton represents the 9th dis
trict in North Carolina, a state
which sends a solidly Democratic
delegation to Congress. His home
is in Laurel Springs.

Seek Cheese Food

BY international News Service
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Jan. 28. (IN
S)-Scientists predict it soon may
be commonplace for diners to say
"Pass the cottonseed cheese,
please"
The National Cotton Council
announced that scientists at the
Texas Engineering Experiment
Station in College Station, Texas,
are conducting research projects
to develop a cheese-type food from
cottonseed.
Although curds prepared from
cottonseed protein solutions are
similar to the curds obtained from
milk, the scientists pointed out
that certain technical problems will
have to be solved before cheese
can be produced successfully from
cottonseed.

Odd Street
Names Found
In Britain
By JOHN E. CARLOVA
international News Services
Staff Correspondent

Staff Correspondent
LONDON, Jan. 28.-Some of
the most wacky and wonderful
street names in the world today
are to be found in Britain.
Many are appropriate, others
are not.
For instance, a Manchester wo-
man who flung a hot rice pudding
into her husbands face lived in
Little Love Lane. The lunatic as
ylum in Leicester is atop Cuckoo
Hill. And a Stockport psychiatrist
lives in Loonie's Court.
But no dogs are allowed in Dor
chester's Airdale Park. And a Liv-
erpool man found guilty of forg-
cry lived in Angel Alley.
Petticoat Lane, in London, is
not the refined area one might ex-
pect. 1t derived its name from a
habit the local girls had in the
18th century of running across
the road in their ~petticoats for a
bucket Of beer.
Today it is the scene of one of
the rowdiest open-air market
places in the world.
London, the nations largest
city has the longest list of start
ling street names.
Some intersections are particu-
larly jolting. Such as Milk and
Honey, Stoney and Broke, DON
aid and Duck, Adam and Eve, and
Amos and Andy.
Faith street, Hope Lane and
Charity Court are all in the same
area. Lana is not far from Turner.
And Ferdinand street has a tav-
! ern called The Bull.
Tuba Court is between Blows
Place and Corny Passage.
Folly News and Gay street both
lead to Ruin road. Eliza crosses
the Ice road, Tipsy Lane leads to
High street.
There are undoubtedly smart
people living on Foxy street, clari-
net players on footing road and
big-shots in Artillery Place. But
there T no cooks in Frying Pan
Alley, only garage mechanics.
However, two doctors live in
the Quack Building.
Some of the streets read like a
menu.
There is Picked Herring street,
Bacon Grove, Egg Lane, Haunch
of Venison Yard, Hen and Chick

house. rearranged dishes and other
small objects, and frightened
people over a wide area, but no
injuries or major damage were re-
ported.
Quick surveys Of the most Sc

cracked buildings.
The earth movement started at
11:47 pm. (2:47 am. EST in
the area of San Luis ObiSpo. San
Miguel and Paso Robles. and con-
tinued for several minutes. Some
people said they felt it for half an
hour and seismographs registered
for three-quarters of an hour.
Radio Station KVEC at San
Luis Obispo reported the ceiling
fell in at the home Of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. Olin at Oceano. Is miles
to the south. Water pipes were
broken.
Minor Damage Reported.
Some windows were broken in
San Luis Obispo. In Paso Robles,
Radio Station KPRL reported the
arm Of q record player was shaken
out of position. A sleeping men
fell from his rocking chair in the
Monterey-Carm area. Plaster
was cracked and pictures fell in
some San Miguel homes. A Pasol
Robles store lost three bottles of
liquor which toppled from a shelf.
Many areas described the quake
as rolling movement, but it reg-l
istered as a sharp shock in Sa-
linas. It was moderate in the SAM
Francisco Bay area.
DR.. Charles Richter at the Cali
fornia Institute of Technology inl
Pasadena gave it an intensity rat
ing of 5A on the Richter scale;
Santa Clara University rated it asI
61a. This means it was strong
enough to cause real damage atl
the epicenter
However, the quake apparently
centered offshore, in one Of Cali
fornia's many lesser geological
faults.
At first the experts thought it
was on or near the great San An
dreas fault, which has been re-
sensible for most of California's
major quakes.
Center Located Offshore.
Later computations indicated,
however, that none of the report
ing towns felt a shock equal to the
indicated magnitude at theI
Quake's center.
At the University of CALIFORNIA;
station in Berkeley. Charles Her
rick, principal seismologist, fig
ured the quake epicenter at about
10 miles west of Guadalupe inI
Santa Barbara County.
This would be just offshore.
The quake's intensity rating in
dicated total force of only about
one-tenth that of the earth move
ment which extensively damaged
the town of Tehachapi, east Of the
current quake area, July 81. Fiji
teen people were killed in the
Tehachapi quake. A somewhat
smaller quake hit Bakersfield,
near Tehachapi, August %. top
pling six buildings.
The San Andreas fault liesI
slightly east of the area affected
by the latest quake. There arel
many lesser faults west of thel
San Andreas formation and
roughly paralleling it. Some of
them extend under the Pacific.
