I emy’s football forces buttle Yule |at Baltimore last Saturday still will be arguing the legality of that third period score which gave the little Ixtys in blue it 12 to 7 triumph. It was a freak, no doubt about that, and skimmed the Okeson football code mighty dangerously, if it didn't actually violate it. Here is the play as 1 recall it: With Navy leading 7 to 6 near the end of the third period. Yale's kicker, a gentleman named Mott, got off a long, twisting punt which fell into the rms of Sneed Schmidt, Navy's safety man. on his own 35yard line. The hull bounced out of Sneed's arms a split second after it struck them and went bouncing crazily along the ground. The first Yale man to arrive on the scene was Bob Carey, left end, who fell to the ground and began battling Schmidt for possession of the hall. Just when ii seemed that Schmidt would win the duel—-" Sneed was tucking the ball under his body, in sact —Larry Kelley, the big Irish captain of the Yales, arrived under a full head of steam. His right foot struck the ball squarely and it zoomed from under Schmidt and sailed 32 yards to Navy's 3 yard line. Without breaking h's stride. Kelly went after the ball and recovered it for his side within a step of Navy's goal, from which point Clint Frank went over for a touchdown two plays later. As you know, to kick a loose ball is to commit a foul. The officials didn't think Keley had deliberately booted the ball to keep Schmidt from recovering it, for they never even raised a finger. But up in the press box. which was well populated with experts, pseudo and genuine, the consensus was that Kelley, thinking quickly, had taken a full braksie swing. One expert, whose heart was with the sailor man. even went so far as to go down on the field after the game, borrow a football, and give an exhibition which proved, to his satisfaction at least, that a football couldn't be accidentally kicked 32 yards. With his coat tails flying in the breeze, this expert backed off and took a running start toward a football which he had placed in the approximate position of the one fumbled by Schmidt, and kicked it with his normal stride. The ball didn't go ten yards. He tried again and again and his best distance, when he simply ran into the ball was short of 15 yards. He offered this as concrete evidence that Kelley had momentarily checked his charge and deliberately given the ball a ride. Os course, this demonstration wasnt concrete evidence of anything of the sort. Kelley is a much more accomplished football player than the expert, who has been out of college since the days of moustachioed tackles and bamboo-padd-ed pants. It is entirely possible that Kelley can do more with a football accidentally than the expert can intentionally. Kelley, one of those natural players who somehow manage to deliver when the g-ing is toughest. did another strange thing during the Saturday game. One time, with the ball near the sideline, Yale punted and Nelley. instead of running straight down the field, cut over five yards to his right and ran out of bounds. He actually was three or four yards outside the playing field, and at a quick glance appeared to be a Yale substitute warming up. Naturally no one went outside to block him. When he had reached a point across from where the Navy

He asked the president to accept or repudiate statements made by his son. James Roosevelt, in a recent speech at Gardner. Mass. “This much is clear,” Gov. Landon said, “xxx that young Roosevelt understands the presi-l dent still to intend to majce NRA principles live and operate in our government by one device or another.’’ ‘ The president must specifically deny that his son's views are his view«s,” he said. “Otherwise the silence of the father will be the confession that the son spoke for the president when he gave us to L understand that his father intended to perpetuate the NRA willy-

Oct. 19— (U.R) James Roosevelt, eldest son of the ( president, reiterated today that he spoke only for himself in advocating a constitutional amendment ' to legalize principles of the NRA. • The Worcester telegram quoted ‘ young Roosevelt as saying at a • political rally in Gardner Friday ' thaj the president, if re-elected. 1 would seek a constitutional amend- ' ment to “make the principles of I the NRA the law of the land." 1 Gov. Alf M. Landon has challenged the president to say whether the administration plans ' to perpetuate the NRA. “If the NRA had not been knocked out, we would not have had so much unemployment.” the newspaper quoted young Roosevelt. "The way to correct this is to shorten the hours of ' labor. In order to accomplish this, the president intends to continue the principles of the NRA. going before the people and seeking an amendment to the constitution to make the principles of the NRA the law of the land." Young Roosevelt contended, however, that he was misquoted. In a statement from his office, his remarks on NRA. purportedly from a stenographic report, were ’ quoted as giving only his personal views. o I i CLOSE SCHOOLS (CONTINUED FROM FAQg ciation; 'Public Education and Problems of Democracy.” Edward Howard Griggs, lecturer and writer.
