FAMOUS COACH
RAPS PRO LAW
Roper Tells Solons Cup Is
More Vicious Than
Before
WASHINGTON, April 24-^P;
W. W. Roper, head football coach
at Princeton, told the house Judic
iary oommittee today that his op
position to the dry statute as it ex
ists is because he feels "the cause
of temperance is being hurt."
Roper told the committee he was
alarmed over the drinking among
young men and women. In this,
he said, he spoke as the father of
a boy and girl.
Roper said he felt the "break
down” had originated with the old
er people. He himself, he said, was
a teetotaller.
- As chairman of the football coach
es association Roper said he had
observed conditions at many schools.
Representative Sumners, democrat
Texas, asked Roper what he would
substitute for prohibition. He re
plied he was here to give informa
tion and not to "tell you gentlemen"
what to do.
Asked by Representative Miche
ner. republican. Michigan, if the
conditions described prevailed at
Princeton, the witness said he would
net be put in the position of saying
the young men with whom he was
associated were any worse than
elsewhere
Michener wanted a "yes and no"
answer on conditions at Princeton.
“I want to say,” Roper replied,
"that I do not claim that there is
much more drinking among young
people, but it is a vicious type of
drinking.”

WARMNUaVEN
ON FAKE CLUBS
Valley Citizens Advised To
Investigate Automobile
Memberships
A warning has been issued by
the local chamber of commerce
advising Brownsville and Valley
citizens from signing up with
rapid-fire fly-by-night promoters j
who have been and are still cover- 1
ing this section selling memberships
in automobile associations.
One such salesman who was in
the city recently posed as a rep
resentative of the Automobile As
sociation of America, the famous
AAA. He was successful in selling
several memberships, but left the
city owing a number of bills.
A letter to the company’s head
quarters in Washington brought
the following reply from Russell E
Singer, assistant secretary:
"The state of Texas is over run
with various types of fly-by-night
operators, and you should be es
pecially vigilant in protecting the
citizens of Brownsville from their
activities.”
Mr Singer added that he kn<*w
nothing of the Lower Rio Grande
Valley Automobile Association, an
other organization In which mem
berships have been sold in this
| section.
"Unless the salesmen solicit try
your signature can furnish a ree
j ommendation from the chamber of
! commerce, do not have anything to
1 do with the project," G. C. Richard
son. local secretary, said Thursday. I
