ASBURY PARK, N. MONDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1932 PRICE THREE CENTS PROTEST FILED BY LONG BRANCH OVER DECISION ON PUNT Claim Woolley's Kick Giving Asbury Park Ball at 4. Yard Line, Not Over Line of Scrimmage. NO RULES STIPULATION AS TO LANDING OF BALL Claiming that the punt which Vernon Woolley executed from the 28-yard line In the fourth period of the Asbury ParkLong Branch contest here Saturday did not go over the line of scrimmage and the play should have been taken over, Long Branch high school's athletic council has entered a protest with Walter E. Short, secretary of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic association.

A copy of the telegram forwarded to Short after a of the council at Long Branch meeting, has been forwarded to Charles Huff, principal of the city school. Up to noon today, however, Edward F. Carleton, faculty director of athletics, had received no official word of the protest. The punt came in the fourth period of the game when Woolley, standing on the 28-yard line booted the ball high in the air. The ball, carried by the wind returned over the kicker's head and landed on the four-yard line, giving the Asbury Park eleven a first down with but four yards to go for the touchdown, scored by Bruno in four attempts, tying the score.

Coach Edison E. Bresett of the Long Branch squad was in Atlantic City this morning attending the state teacher's convention and could not be reached. However, it was learned that the athletic council decided last night to protest the game, because of the ruling by the officials. Judges Ruling On Plays MacIntyre of Morristown was the referee. "Hub" Stine of Plainfield was the umpire and Dieffendaffer of Hoboken was the head linesman.

Walker of Trenton was field judge and this quartet had the full responsibility of ruling on all of the plays. In addition, roney of Passaic was also engaged as an assistant, his duty being assigned to aiding the head linesman altho he could have no official word in the contest. To Dieffendaffer would con the responsibility, protest of according answering to the the Long rules which records Woolley's effort to punt the ball as a punt so long as it passed over the line of scrimmage. The rules do not stipulate where the ball may go but points out that such a ball has been punted. On the other hand, had the ball failed to cross the line of scrimmage, Long Branch would have had another opportunity to begin a new play from the same spot, the punt having been executed on a third down.

In addition to the complaint on the play itself, the telegram to the state secretary also charged the referee failed to recognize the Long Branch coach when he stepped to the sidelines immediately after the play to protest against the decision at the time. Dr. C. Byron Blaisdell, a the Long Branch board of "education. said today that Long Branch was not interested in having a new game played but held that the protest should be brought to the attention of the state association in view of the facts as related by Bresett.

Similar to Another Protest The protest over the particular play In Saturday's game is quite similar to one which was reported several years ago in which Alfred N. Rushton, of this city, a central board official, was called upon to rule that a field goal had been scored almost as the direct result of the wind after the ball had been punted. In this opinion he was upheld when the losing school filed a protest over the decision soon after the game. White Plains was playing Mamaroneck at the time and it was a windy day on Long Island sound. The ball was punted into the wind from the 10 yard line and was carried back, crossing directly between the goal posts and over the bar.

The result registered a field goal for White Plains and gave them three points. Had not the ball gone over the line of scrimmage first the field goal would have been disallowed and the play taken over. While Bresett conferred with officials after the game here Saturday the Asbury Park officials declared they had no knowledge that there had been anything in connection with the game that was not satisfactory to the visiting coach. They knew, however, that Bresett went over several decisions with the referee and umpire but no mention of the disagreement the ruling on Woolley's punt was at that over, time. The action of the Long Branch athletic council came as a surprise here since the state association can only rely on the statements of the officials in charge of the game as to whether or not the ball actually crossed the line of scrimmage, which seems to be the question involved.

Only those in charge of the game will be called upon to settle the question.

He died last night of cancer.

William S. Brock, as he was christened, was born 36 years ago at Gladstone, O. In youth the exploits of Lincoln Beachey, Arch Hoxsey, and othAmerican fliers, led him into aviation. At 16 he was a pilot. His 20 years of flying spanned the days when a London to Paris flight was set down record to the present era of the flights.

And it was on 8 projected aroundthe flight in 1927 that Brock, accampanied by Edward F. Schlee, made the first America to England non-stop flight. They flew their plane, the Pride of Detroit, to Japan. But adverse weather conditions delayed them there for days and finally their plan to span the Pacific was abandoned. In recent years Brock had been the private pilot of a wealthy Chicagoan.

Four months ago he entered a Chicago hospital in his fight against cancer. 2 Counterfeiters Caught Here Guilty Rene Rauleau, 32, John J.

FANTASTIC, SAYS FRANCE; DENYING DESIRE FOR WAR COLOGNE, Germany, Nov. 14. (AP) In an exhaustive discussion of French military organization and equipment, to be presented in a special issue tomorrow, the Koelnische Illustrierte Zeitung, a widely read weekly circulated internationally and thruout Germany, reaches the conclusion that "before the gates of Germany there stands the best equipped army in the world, ready to march." Statistics, graphs and maps are set the issue, along with photographs, banner-lined quotations from the sayings of French statesmen, and scientific analyses by German military experts.

The purpose is to prove to the German reader that Jules Cambon, eminent French diplomat, correctly preted the French the people, in France." saying, army The publishers of the weekly assert that much of the material they present never has been printed. Every declaration, they say, can be proved. Outstanding among the statements are these: 1. That within a week, and without special parliamentary authorization, France could put into action 46 infantry, five cavalry and four air divisions. 2.

That the French military budget does not show what the nation is spending on is the world's champion when it comes to camouflaging her military expenditures." 3. That the French fleet "has made tremendous, methodic progress, thanks to a long-term naval program which tho never sanctioned by the chamber of deputies, is being carried out tacitly year after year." 4. That the French air fleet has A radius of activity extending "far beyond Germany, the channel and England, and beyond the Italian plains of the Po, including Turin and Milan." 5.

Within six to eight days 20 divisions of infantry reserves could be ready, making a total, without parliamentary action, of infantry, five cavalry and four air divisions.

ROOSEVELT DRAFTS REPLY TO HOOVER DEBT TALK BID; FRENCH, BRITISH ASK DELAY Long Branch Stores Swept by Fire Starting in Lunchroom Flames Spread to Apartments at 170 -Slight Explosion Heard Before Outbreak of Blaze- Loss Is Placed at Buildings Threatened. (Long Branch Burean of The Press) LONG BRANCH, Nov. $7,500 was caused this afternoon when fire starting in a building at 170 Broadway swept two stores and spread to apartments above before city firemen checked it. Firemen said the fire started in the rear of the Star lunch, operated by Peter Lazarides, at 170, the cause of which was unknown.

Witnesses who heard a slight concussion just before smoke poured from the building notified police who sounded the alarm. The flames spread to a James A. Butler grocery store at 172 Broadway, of which Timothy Hayes, Long Branch, is manager. He fled the building. Hayes told firemen he had smelled smoke which he thought was coming from the lunch room.

INSTITUTIONAL NEEDS INCREASED BY $110,289 TRENTON, Nov 14 (P)-Budget requests of state departments and institutions for coming fiscal year total $25,487,000, the lowest total since 1925, John A. Reddan, state budget commissioner, announced today. Despite Gov. A.

Harry Moore's repeatrequests for rigid An economy, however, requisitions of the institutions and the central office of the department of institutions and agencies, one of the state's largest spenders, showed increases totaling $110,289 over the present year's appropriation of $7,608,764. The requests were $1,198,611 611 below the expenditures for the department and the institutions in the 1931-32 fiscal year. Reddan explained figures on current appropriations did not take into consideration reductions effected in the governor's economy drive. The effect of the governor's activity, he said, could not be estimated until the close of the fiscal year next June. Expenditures under appropriations in 1931 were $29,548,336.

The appropriations for the current year were 397,081 but have not only been affected the governor's economy measures but by cuts instituted by the legislature. The attorney general's request of $128,610 was an increase of $13,775 above the present $114,835 appropriation but $75,347 below expenditures in 1931. The department of banking ad insurance, headed by Col. William H. Kelly, of East Orange, is asking $769,385, an increase of $2,665 over the present year's appropriation.

State Police Ask More A request of $1,106,773, an increase of $60,753 over this year's appropriation was made by the state police, one of the departments in which the legislature this year made substantial appropriation cuts. Decreases in requests below present appropriations among the institutions were reported as follows: Soldiers homes, $160,766 requests, 205 decrease; for physical disease (Glen Gardner, home for blind and county I tuberculosis hospitals), $1,124,261 requests, $25,251 decrease; board of children's guardians $301,719 requests; $18,801 decrease. Increases were the central office, the institutions for mental diseases, $96,901, and, the penal institutions $26,554.

SIGNATORIES WOULD ACT TO BLOCK ANY INVASION PARIS, Nov.

14. (AP) -An official summary of the new French disarmament plan, prepared for immediate presentation at the Geneva arms conference, enunciates the policy of discontinuing economic and financial relations with an aggressor nation. The summary, made public today, says that, based on the declarations of Secretary of State Stimson that armed conflict interests all signatories to the Briand-Kellogg pact, who could not adopt neutrality toward all agressor, chapter one has for its object to have this principle accepted by all powers. In case of violation of the pact, the summary continues, the powers should discontinue their economic and financial relations with an aggressor. Other outstanding provisions are these: A mutual military assistance system is recommended for Europe.

This would automatically begin with any attack or invasion. The decision as to which nation involved is the aggressor would be left to a commission whose members would be appointed in time of peace from among diplomatic representatives and military attaches accredited to the country which considers itself the victim of aggression. It is further proposed that all European powers should adhere to a general arbitration act. If any signatory should refuse to obey an arbitral judgment, or accept pacific settlement of a dispute, the other affected country could appeal to the League of Nations council which would decide the proper measures to be taken. Contracting Powers Would Aid The council's decision would be by majority vote and the contracting powers would extend assistance in carrying put that decision.

The plan provides for creation of a "first aid" international force which would include contingents of specialized troops selected from various countries, and armed with weapons and materials which national armies will be prevented from having. This force would be placed at the disposal of the League of Nations, ready to act immediately.

14 (P) -President Hoover was hurrying eastward today toward what may prove an historic conference between himself and President-Elect Roosevelt over world debt questions. Informed virtually, all debtor nations of the United intended to seek suspension of payments due Dec. 15, Mr. Hoover yesterday made public A long telegram he sent to Governor Roosevelt at Albany, N. inviting him to visit the White House this week to seek a common basis of action extending debts into the next administration.

Early this morning, the president had not received an acceptance of his invitation, but nevertheless he laid plans for a parley to be held soon after his return to the White House Wednesday. "I am prepared," he wired to Roosevelt, "to deal with the subject as far as it lies in the power of the executive, but it must be our common wish to deal with this question in a constructive fashion for the common good of the country. "I am loath to proceed with recommendations to the congress until I can have an opportunity to confer with you personally at some convenient date in the near future." Mr. Hoover spoke also of the world economic conference and the arms conTerence efforts which would continue on into the Roosevelt administration, upon which "an interchange of views would be in the public interest." Reiterates Stand For Payment In his telegram Mr. Hoover reiterated his debts stand as opposed to "cancellation in any form," but said "we should be receptive to proposals from our debtors for tangible compensation in other forms than in direct payment in expansion of markets for the products of our labor and our farms." Summarizing the entire debt situation as he has seen it unfold, the prestdent quoted to the Democratic standard bearer a note from the British government stating "the regime of intergovernmental financial obligations as now existing must be reviewed." The British statement, he said, called also for a suspension of payments during the negotiations and related directly to the $95,000,000 payment due Dec.
