Last year, before a crowd of 80,000 spectators two, teams battled to a scoreless tie in a game marked by the sensational play of three Michi- gan graduates, Chuck Bernard and Herm Everhardus for the college all- stars and Bill Hewett for the profes- sionals. Only Seniors Eligible Fans of the country last year "elec- ted" 22 stars of the 1933 college grid- irons to play in the Chicago Trib- une's first annual spectacle of the kind. The Bears were champions of the national professional league then, and although they lost the title to the New York Giants last December in the playo'ff games, are regarded as the team to beat for the 1935 crown.

Curtis ritical Of Inactivit In Forming Party Michigan GOP Heads Meet At GrandRapids Ceie i Dignitaries Are Conspicuous Because Of Their Absence GRAND RAPIDS, July 2. - (P) - Certain old-line Republicans were ab- sent today as more than a score of party workers gathered here to ar- range for Michigan's party in next week's regional convention at Cleve- land. Former Gov. Fred W. Green and his close political friend and associate, Howard C. Lawrence, chairman of the state central committee, were among those remaining away from the meeting. The former governor Monday expressed himself as "not in sympathy" with the meeting and de- scribed its backers as "holier than thou fellows." Little formal indication of how Michigan/Republicans will stand on national issues was expected to ema- nate from today's meeting, which State Senator Earl W. Munshaw said was designed primarily for the se- lection of the state delegation and the Michigan speakers who will appear at Cleveland. There was, however, an opportunity for plenty of "off the rec- ord" discussion of issues and per- sonalities by the assembled politi- cians. Candidacies have been repeatedly eschewed by sponsors of the meet- ings here and in Cleveland. The re- gional conference, they reiterated to- day, was for the purpose of getting a line on the issues which may be ex- College Net Champion 'Believe It Or Not' Conger To Teach Credulous Tots Lesso Spitting fish, oysters that grow on trees, meals consisting of roast puppy dogs and stale eggs, schools where pupils must study five foreign lan- guages before they may graduate, barking birds, cannibals - these are but a few of the unusual things which Beach Conger, '32, Ann Arbor travel author and educator, has seen and described in carrying out a novel method of teaching geography. "And next year," said Mr. Conger, "I hope to write about the hens which lay eggs with blue shells, the red snow in the Andes, ants that carry para- sols, and the documents which sup- posedly show that Christopher Co- lumbus made a voyage to North Amer- ica with some Scandinavian sailors many years before the date of his official discovery of this continent." During the past two years Mr. Con- ger has visited over 60 countries on five continents and travelled nearly 100,000 miles while writing educa- tional travel letters to American school children for World Letters, an educational publishing c o m p a n y which sponsors one such writing trip each year. During the 38 weeks of the school year, Mr. Conger visits as many countries, writing from each a 2,500 word letter on what he sees. These letters are duplicated by his assistants and then mailed directly to nearly half a million school chil- dren in the United States. "What we are doing," continued Mr. Conger, "has been called 'two- legged geography' by some educators. We are trying to make geography more human, something more than dry facts on import and export sta- tistics, population and area figures. We try to tell school children about the people who live in foreign co tries, how they live, work, play, study; that although their cust may differ from ours and there seem strange, there are good rea for such differences. "We tell the pupils how other c dren study; what subjects they le their games and sports, and what I of schools we see, if any. I h found American school children r ticularly interested in foreign sche They were very much impressec the fact that in Andorra each pi must bring a stick of wood to se every morning for heating the cL room; or by the five languages must be studied by Baluchistan h school students before they can g: uate."

As Foot Bridtc In Canada Drops Toronto Picnic Crowds Are Thrown Into Dark Ravine; None Dead TORONTO, July 2. - (A') - A span of the Woodbine foot bridge, burderned by homeward-bound picnickers, col- lapsed early today, plunging more than two score persons head-long into a dark East York ravine. Twenty-four persons were injured,' none of them seriously, and were taken to hospitals. Many others, in- cluding several women and children, received medical treatment at the scene. A span of the old wooden structure 40 feet above the ravine gave way as members of the East York Workers association started over it after a pic- nic andkwrestling matches in the near- by park. - Many persons saved themselves from the fall by grasping a railing and swinging themselves to safety, dropping only a few feet near the edge of the ravine, 75 feet below the bridge at its deepest point. The bridge was unlighted. The accident spread alarm through the crowd of 5,000 many of them near the bridge, and the screams of women and children added to the confusion in the darkness. Rescuers were unable to see the victims in the ravine immediately, but were guided by their shouts and soon brought them up to ambulances. The injured were taken to the Toronto general hospital. A number of doctors and nurses were recruited by police and hurried to the scene. East York township police said the dominion day holiday traffic over the bridge had been unprecedented.

" , : { WASHIN'GTON,' July 2. - (P) - Charles Curtis, vice president in the Hoover administration, today declared for a change in the Republican na- tional chairmanship. "They are not getting to work soon enough," he said in an interview. "I think there ought to be a new chair- man." He did not mention Henry P. Flet- cher by name. Fletcher is the present chairman of the party's national com- mittee. He is regarded as the selec- tion of former President Herbert Hoover, titular leader of the party. 'There are plenty of issues," Curtis said. "The 'save the constitution' proposition is very important. And I think there are too many boards and commissions." He referred to a speech he made in Topeka, Kas., Aug. 18, 1932 at- tacking "bureaucracy" and continued: "If the Republicans get in, they would reduce the taxes. That's what I think of the Roosevelt tax program. Remember the Republicans reduced taxes when Andrew Mellon was sec- retary of the treasury. They could be reduced again if they got rid of these boards and commissions." * Independence Day is an occasion for united celebra- tion.
