"I wish you newspaper guys would quit calling me up about that rumor," said "Pop" after he the time' whether was called to the telephone, "for it was true he was ready to retire. stuff is all so silly, Warner, who made football history at Cornell, Georgia, Iowa State, Carlisle Indians, Pittsburgh, Stanford and Temple. "I've got a contract that runs through the 1939 season and, SO far as I know, I'm going to be here until then.

After that I don't know what I'll do. I've been hearing these rumors so much myself that I'm beginning to believe them. Sure, I've got a bad leg that makes lame. But what of it? It doesn't interfere with my thinking, does it? "I'm not in the coaching business for the money I derive from my duties; neither am I staying in the coaching field because I have nothing else to occupy my time. I'm in the game because I love to coach and get a big kick out of helping players who are almost young enough to be my grand-children.

Too often have I heard that 'Pop Warner is No will know sooner than I will when it is time for me to quit coaching. I'll be willing to step out when I feel I am slipping in the slightest degree." Temple authorities are equally emphatic in denying the rumors. "Pop has a contract through the '39 season. No, he's not quitting. No, he hasn't been, asked to resign." The guy who started those rumors better not show himself around Temple.

The Tigers could do nothing to stop Tulane's shifty halfbacks, Bob Kellog and Fred Cassibry who the Wave's and sparked, touchdown The game was one of the fiercest of the 36 the teams have played. Bronco Brunner, Tulane brilliant back, and Jack Staples, Tiger first-string fullback, were carried from the field with painful injuries. In the fourth quarter officials ousted James (Jacco) Stell, Tiger left halfback, and Tom O'Boyle. Tulane guard, for swapping punches. In this period, the Tigers were penalized for clipping, unnecessary roughness, and slugging.

Bruce Hedric, L. S. U. field general, was put out of the contest on the slugging charge. That was like ringing a bell.

The players loose with swings and wallops. streamed cuing the stands, but some of them not so quickley forgot to tear up sections stands for clubs. that, Subs from the benches joined in the frolic. Finally, coaches from both benches quieted the struggling mob, a few more plays were run, the last whistle blew, some Tulane admirers ripped up the Tiger goalposts, and the battling started all over again. The fist-swinging went on till darkness put an end to it.

The teams played closely in the first period but Tulane, its second team driving with tremendous power, got down to business in the second. The Greenies marched 69 yards down the field for a touchdown. Cassibry took the ball over on 8, net run wide around his left end. Kellog converted.

The fight among the players just before the finish of the game ended with handshakes all around. the officials restored order, the Tiger players congratulated the Greenies at the final gun. In the meantime, hundreds of the spectators had swarmed onto the field, some of Tulane rooters moved toward the goal posts. The L.S.U. supporters charged to meet them, and a vicious free-for-all developed.

Dozen of men and youths of both factions were battered and stomped. Most of the state police at the game had gone to their posts on the highways, and the scuffling lasted for many minutes. Penalties, many for rough play, totalled 81 yards against Louisiana State, and 80 against Tulane. The fourth period was the hostile one. Players on both teams came out of scrimmage with bloody noses.

From Tulane's 23 yard line, the Wave was given the ball on the 40, after an L.S.U. penalty for unnecessary roughness, and on the next play L.S.U. was penalized half the distance to their goal for slugging. Then Bernie Smith, Tulane center, brought Young Bussey down after a play, and the players' fight followed. lineups: Tulane L.

To Send Naval, Military Air Mission To Colombia WASHINGTON, Nov. 26 (P) -The United States government announced today that naval and military air missions would go to the Republic Colombia soon to cooperate with that country in improving its defensive forces. The step symbolized, to some students of Pan-American affairs, stating, bonds Latin between America, the for United the common defense of the new world against any foreign aggressor. Five such missions already are on duty in other Latin American countries. "The Department of State is pleased to announce," a formal statement said, "that in response to the request of the government of Colombia, agreements were signed Nov.

23, providing for the furnishing by the United States of a naval mission and a military aviation mission to cooperate with the Colombian ministry of war. The two missions will function in an advisory capacity to the Colombian navy and military air forces." The action is of particular importance to the United States, because of Colombia's. proximity to the Panama Canal, a vital artery in the American defense system. The Panama Canal zone, now owned by the United States, formerly was part of Colombia. The announcement was accompanied by publication of a friendly exchange of notes between President Roosevelt and the Colombian Senate.

The Senate in a formal resoluexpressed its gratitude to the President "for his effective defense of democratic ideas and systems, for his intervention to safeguard within and without the continent, and for the loyal and constant carrying out of the good neighbor policy, which is based upon the respect of the sovereignty of all peoples." Mr. Roosevelt replied: cordial spirit which inspir- me impress anew the realization the of identity democratic ideals of our two of nations, our common determination with join our American neighbors in perfecting understanding and among the republics of the New Passage of a Senate resolution, praising the head of another state in such glowing terms, is rare in present day diplomacy. Some officials here felt it tinally closed the breach between the two governments, which followed the revolt that brought the Republic of Panama into being. The United States, which had been unwilling to pay Colombia's price for the canal zone, recognized the new republic and bought the zone from it for less. Years later, Congress paid Colomiba $15,000,000 as compensation, but hard feelings that developed over the previous action spread through Latin America.

The military air mission will ficers, probably a major capconsist of two regular army, oftain, and three non-commissioned officers serving for three, years. The naval mission headed by a captain or commander on the active list, serving for four years. The United States now supports a naval mission of eight officers and a military mission of four officers in Brazil. Three American naval advisors and eight army officers are on duty in Argentina. Four naval advisors are presently serving in Peru, two officers in Haiti, and one army officer in Guatemala.

The State department was further gratified today to announce that Ecuador's decision to attend the forthcoming Pan- American Conference at Lima, Peru, insured attendance of the American republics at that parley. There had been some question whether Ecuador would attend, following recent collapse of negotiations to settle her boundary dispute with Peru.

Tide of Alabama defeated Vanof Vanderbilt squirming through DIONNE AGAINST SHOWING QUINTS New York World's Fair Trying To Get Them Next Summer CALLANDER, Nov. 26 (Canadian Press) Oliva Dionne, father of the quintuplets, today turned thumbs down on a plan to exhibit his little daughters at the New York World's Fair next year. He said it looked like "a clear case of exploitation." (World Fair officials said that despite Dionne's attitude, they still hoped to have the quintuplets at the Fair. A spokesman, expressed surprise at comment, and said he had been informed Dionne previously had been willing.) Allan Roy Dafoe, medical guardian of the quintuplets, who was said by a Fair spokesman to have been the first to agree--on the premise that the rest of guardians also consent-said the board had never considered the offer. "We have had countless offers to exhibit quints," the, physician said, "but we have laughed at them, and in the past it has been considered, that any such move be in the health interests of the quintuplets.

"Since the little girls had their tonsils and adenoids removed recently, they have shown much improvement and we expect a great change in their health by Spring. "But there has been no consideration given as yet to move them from their comfortable little nursery here." Dionne recalled censure in some quarters for a vaudeville tour he and Mrs. Dionne made in 1935. He pointed out this had been called "cheap exploitation" and added, "I wonder what they consider showing the quints in New York would be?" As one of the guardians of his daughters, he said he never would consent, and "as father I am against it, and just as strenuously opposed as a guardian." Shortly after the quintuplets were born May 28, 1934, signed a contract for appearance of the babies at the Chicago World's Fair, but changed his mind and said the contract was not because his wife had not been consulted. The contract was nullified by the Ontario government.

It became the subject lawsuit in Chicago, but the claim against Dionne was dismissed. 2 RESTRICTIONS UPON COUGHLIN Radio Priest Thereupon Ignores Radio Station For Talk NEW YORK, Nov. 26 (AP) -Radio Station WMCA advised the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin tonight that his scheduled speech tomorrow would be broadcast through its facilities only if a copy was received four hours in advance, and its text did not tend to "create racial or religious hatred or dissension in The station, which objected to parts of the Detroit's priest's speech last Sunday, modified a previous order for Father CoughLin to submit his scrip 48 hours in advance of the broadcast.

WMCA's telegram to the priest said: "We are extending the time for receipt of advance copy of the speech you propose to deliver over our station until noon (EST) tomorrow. We will examine it, and will broadcast it if it is not designed to create racial or religious hatred or dissension in America." DETROIT, Nov. 26 (AP) A spokesman for the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin said tonight it would be impossible to furnish a copy of his address tomorrow to a New York radio station four hours before the broadcast.

The informant said the manuscript, after submission to Archbishop Edward Mooney, would not be available more than an hour before the talk is delivered over an independent network. He said the requests of Station WMCA for an advance copy have been ignored, and that WHBI, in Newark, would be the outlet for the broadcast in the New York larea.
