COLLEGE HEAD IN ATTACK AT PAID ATHLETES COLLEGE Durham.—No self-help student having a job in a university or college of North Carolina will be eligible for participation in college athletics should a recommendation made by Dr. Elmer R. Hoke, presi dent of Catawba college, in the opening session of the ninth annual meeting of the North Carolina col lege conference here, be adopted. Striking deep down into athletics of the higher institutions of learn ing, Dr. Hoke, through his recom mendation received by the confer ence in writing, due to the inabil ity of its author to attend, would make it impossible for any student receiving pay from his school for any job performed to play on any j of the college teams. The fate of the recommendation, which the conference right willingly passed on to the athletic commit tee, following its presentation to the conference body by the execu tive conference, will be decided to morrow. The intent is to check the apparently growing offers to out standing athletes for the purpose of building up strong varsity teams. How-ever, all students working their way through school, regard less of the means, would be debar red from participation in athletics aqd it would be possible for only those students more favorably sit uated, financially, to go out for the various teams. The presentation of the Hoke re commendation, one of four offered by the Catawba head for considera tion of the conference, aroused more interest in the session than probably anything else that has yet been presented. His other recom mendations were to increase the fees in till institutions of learning in order that the smaller institu tions might stand a better chance of competing with the state-owned and state-helped colleges, that col leges discontinue any and all ad vertising and that the soliciting of students for any purpose be for bidden.

ALIBI AL. ueveio pmcius since Wednesday have forced me to consider an altera tion in some of my ) guesses, Carolina I might not beat State and the tin soldiers from V OTT T may not be able to di gest a wildcat 1 stew! ” A1 remarked - this morning while throwing a cup of java atop two scram bled eggs at Heavy's. “I have a rea son for seeing a toss-up either way,’" he added. “Jim Grey is back in the line-up for Davidson as is Hampton. Two Greys will be hard to stop—ask Paul Webb or any of those boys who courted behind a pair of grays in other days. As to that State-Caro lina game I overlooked Jack McDow ell—odd that I did since he is the hardest thing to overlook on the State eleven. Yet I overlooked his record. My impression was that Mc Dowell was one of these regular North Carolina boys. Didn’t he play football down to Rockingham high school along with Bowyer back in the year when numerous North Car olina cities, towns and cross-road points claimed that Shelby was get ting its football team from material secured at the home for the aged and infirm? Now things are clearing up. That dirty name handed Shelby then seems to be coming out of the laundry of Time in snow-white con dition. “Shelby they said in those nays even went as far away as Boiling Springs and Lattimore to get a good football player, and the whole state cooed with righteousness when Rock ingham, eastern champs, knocked Shelby off for the state title. "Ring ers.” they said, “can never—oh. nev er—beat real, honest-to-goodness North Carolina boys. Truth about it Boiling Springs isn't so far from the South Carolina line and it's only 8 miles from Shelby to Cole Blease’s state. And there comes our grand revelation. Last week State college played Florida. The star for State was this Rockingham McDow ell (good old North Carolina Scotch)) and one of the stars for Florida was a boy called Bovver. And those vile newspapermen down in sunny Florida told the world that McDowell was a Florida boy afore he came to Rockingham to play football and that Bowyer was his teammate. Both being native Flori dians. “At the time Alibi Al. then a stranger in Shelby, couldn't under stand how Rockingham beat Shelby, with Shelby playing grandfathers and furriners. ’n'everything. It was a great triumph for home boys and reformers that day wrhen Rocking ham gave Shelby a showing up.” Then, after pocketing a handful of toothpicks ‘from Heavy’s cigar show case. Al explained that he was get ting away from his main subject in talking high school stuff while pre dicting college outcomes. “However, it gives me an alibi." he continued. “Remembering that McDowell once played at Rockingham and remem bering also that Shelby is the only town in the state to round 'em up, I just figured as usual that McDow ell was an ordinarly North Carolina football player despite some of his briliant performances. Now that history is coming to light long after Shelby has been condemned as un clean, I rather expect to se that lad do a bit of galloping along with Carolina's four horsemen. Never forget that Alibi A1 is x a premier picket of winners. If State wins re member that I said watch McDow ell; if Carolina wins remember that I said they would, and if either Dav idson or V. M. I. wins remember that I foretold that such could be.” Whereupon the demon dopester sought a long distance telephone booth for a conversation with his distant relative the Man Without a Name who picks football winners for the Charlotte Observer. ~ , - A; ATs History. Since the photograph of Alibi A1 appeared in these columns in the is sue prior to this one many inquiries have been made by citizens wanting to know just who the new staff nan is—asking also as to why his photo seems to have been snapped in an olden uniform, w'hile the kicking was being manipulated by the left pedal extremity. In brief here it is: A1 was born in Cold-Asheck, Alaska, 43 years ago, being the son of the ground-keeper of the Iceland stadium and his wife. I proprietor of a boarding house at j Bunkandbull uniersity. Freni his : youth A1 was interested in football, 1 being picked as All-American mas cot about the year Babe Wilson used to scream for Max Gardner to make a hole for him to run through I while the two were playing at State j college. Later in life A1 played a bit of football. The suit in which his j photo was made was borrowed and he is shown kicking with his left foot because he says there is no use for him to kick in the other direc tion and bust up the best story on the page, A1 came to Shelby some j four years back. A big reception was j planned for Walter Camp's succes- j sor, but the exact date of his ex pected arrival was never learned, j The result was that Moses Taub | pulled his horse up afront Ebeltoft's j one morning and promptly tainted I when, as moving a package of pa pers from the mail delivery wagon, found a sleeping man curled up against the Confession Story maga zines. Awakened, the honored visi tor immediately asked the location of two points—the city football field and the county jail. He visited the [former first and told Casey Mor ! ris just how football should be coached as it was Casey‘s first year at teaching the other fellow. Later he visited the second point of inter est and so remonstrated about the accommodations at the old county jail that the county commissioners, desirous of keeping such a great per sonage in the section, decided to build the present new structure. Being a close friend of Sheriff Lo gan, A1 was asked to take a seat in the Logan car and go to the State Carolina football game tomorrow. At first The Star’s dopester decided to make the trip so that he might tell the crowds "I told you so" after the game, but later he decided not to, the decision being made foi three reasons: First, because Caro lina might play a game like the Tennessee game and State like they did against Furman. Second, riding 12 hours to see mediocre football for less than an hour is not so enticing to one who has seen the greatest oi all gridiron tilts. Third, and mainly, the last time A1 rode with Sheriff Logan to Raleigh the big fellow left A1 with Superintendent Pou out to the state prison and the only foot ball games A1 saw that year was when Otto Wood skirted the line for a 175-mile run before being tackled Oy a mountain deputy sheriff. Since that time A1 has contended that the one-armed prison star should be on the all-time All-American team. Liken ise he feels as if it doesn't pay to ride to Raleigh with a sheriff. Close observers may see A1 at the Shelby-Hickory game today unless he decides to answer-the S. O. S. from Georgia Tech where lie Is wanted to help get Stump and the Tech other ten ready for the Geor gia game. A1 has been wanted in the new fotbal rules. So far he has However, he will be on hand Mon day to tell you how the games came out end also to pick next week's winners. P. S —Alibi A1 has received sever al wires and cables from football notables asking his opinion about Atlanta since eGorgia licked Yale, not jotted down a single answer. II he decided to do so A1 says the reply will be T never knew the old ones." -11 ■■ • 11 1 < (By Alice Langellcr. INS Staff Correspondent.) Paris.—Two coats of lip rouge make the newest complexion trick of the pretty Parisienne, who per haps understands better than any woman in the world the subtle tech nique of make-up. One coat is not enough, she has discovered. By shaping tiny half moons of salve, first with one. their with the other sanguine tinge, every woman can create a pair of lips that are uniquely her own in color as well as form. This double pro cess preferably adapts itself to the home toilet where the first coat is applied firmly and the second spar ingly until precisely the desired shade appears. Rouge should not rub off, ac cording to Lucien Lelong, who is now making as exquisite beauty preparations as gons for the wo men. Only inferior lipsticks of a soft and greasy consistency leave their traces on napkin, cigaret and . . . . sweetheart. For good lip rouge takes for its base real wax and substitutes of tallow and iess eV fats find their way into the cheap salves. In Germany, where cheap rouge is much used these days, restaurant-keepers who find that no amount of boiling will re move the red streaks of lip rouge from their table linen, have recent ly decided to bring back the war time paper napkin. Swarthy complexions are no long er in fashion and the woman who farmerly returned from a summer at Deauville very proud of her nut meg glow, hastens to her beauty specialist to have the burn remov ed before her first appearance in formal dress at a smart function.

"What do you think of the Vol stead luw?" an Albemarle man ask ed us Saturday afternoon just as we were writing these editorials. We answered him with something like this. "Well, I don't know. What do you think about It?” "I think it is the biggest failure in the way of a law this country has ever seen. This very afternoon there are twenty places right in this town where there is liquor. Prohibition is a (failure and we might as well admit it." he went on. And this man neither drinks nor j handles whiskey, but is one of the niort upright men in the county. -o “Ycu say there are twenty places in this town where liquor is to be found?” we asked him? "Yes," he responded. "Well is that any proof of the fact that the Volstead law, and na tional and state prohibition is a failure?” a bystander asked. "Looks like it. doesn't it,” he ah-, swered. "Well,” ventured another citizen, "do you expecti perfect enforcement of any law? In this state it is a capital felony to commit murder, and yet there were hundreds of murders in North Carolina last year. It is against the law to break into a man's place of business and steal his money, but didn't some one burglarize Charlie Palmer’s place last night and relieve him of several hundred dollars?" “I had never thought about It In that way." said the man who had believed prohibition a failure. "Well, you may as well," said the oth.r fellow. And remember that therj has never been a law perfect ly enforced since time began and there never will be as long as men ' and women are imperfect, and we need not expect it.” That is eternally true. Why. thereiore, do we always want to 1 stand up and stress the statement that prohibition is a failure because there are occasional violations, in fact, numerous violations? Why net ! just as well say repeal the law against murder, burglary, arson, etc? No, the prohibition laws may not be as perfectly enforced as some other laws, but we rather believe that it is about as completely en forced as any other criminal law. And just suppose there was no law whatever against the manufacture and sale of liquor. Is there any one so dull as pot to know that vith all the automobiles and other mod ern conveniences, no one would be safe on the streets or highways oi the country. We are entirely over zealous in our efforts to enforce the prohibi tion law anyhow? That is, we too I_ . .... often act, even If we don't feel, as though the law against the manu facture and sale of whlfskey is the only law on the statute books of our state. We see other criminal laws violated dally without any shock to our law abiding natures. Men bur glarize business houses, practice fraud on their fellows In business transactions and fight and kill each each other and do about anything else, and we think little of it. When they are caught we feel little inter est in seeing them punished and when one does go to the pen or re ceive a death sentence, we are all ready to sign a petition to the gov ernor asking him to pardon the criminal. But just let a poor fellow get caught with a pint or two of whiskey and the courts deal witli him as though he were an outlaw, and about everybody wants to see him giyen "the limit,” Joint Meeting At Mary’s Grove Sun.
