Show THE RICH COUNTY REAPER. RANDOLPH. UTAH Sfllllllll OUR COMIC SECTION Peter B. Peeve SpecrfuHf ojf f I 0 I By ROBERT 5 McSHANE Released by Wertern Newspaper Union iniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiimimrc the wisest moves ever ONE of by the National Professional Football league was persuading Elmer Layden to quit the cloisters of collegiate football for the more turbulent professional gridiron business. The former Notre Dame coach and athletic director, had an excellent reason for casting his lot with y the boys. That reason was financial. It isnt necessary to go beyond the announced figures of his new deal to understand why he took the step he did rather than sign the new contract which was offered him at Notre Dame. A man with family responsibilities doesnt have to think twice about $20,000 a year. No coaching, job could have paid him that much. Perhaps typical of professional football is the fact that the Thin Man found himself in the middle of a controversy before the ink on his contract had dried. Bert .Bell, half owner of the Philadelphia Eagles, and two other club owners, Alexis Thompson of Pittsburgh and Dan Topping of Brooklyn, touched off the fireworks by declaring that Layden had been railroaded into office. , . play-for-pa- Sound and Fury The lanky Layden, neyer known to be overly verbose, assumed a strict s; mce as pro circles debated the legality of Ids appointment. v Messrs. Bell, Thompson and Topping objected loudly to the manner of the appointment, shrieking that it wouldnt be official until action is taken to amend the constitution at the league meeting in April. Quite a few followers of professional football were considerably disgusted with the outbursts originating in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and club owners Brooklyn. were congratulating themselves for having hired a man who will give the pro league a type of solid standing self-impos- ed Far-sight- NEARLY COMPLETED RICH soil, dirt CHEAP; 40 Year, I1 without intereat, to. pay Water Right.

We talked to them by telephone the same as other club owners, said Halas. A majority of the club owners voted for Layden and a ma- jority is all the league constitution demands on any matter of business. Marshalls Views George Marshall, owner of the Washington Redskins, pulled no punches in airing his views of the appointment. He pointed out that Art Rooney, who owns 50 per cent, of the Philadelphia club, was one of the signers of the Layden contract. That fact, he pointed out, should be brought to Bells attention. The teapot tempest blown up by Thompson, Topping and Bell has started the public to musing over whether Layden will have real authority in his new job or whether the pro owners will still run the show in their own cat and dog fashion. It wasnt a very auspicious , beginning, but chances are that Lay- den is the least perturbed of the lot. Hes the kind of an individual who will give value received for his annual $20,000 salary. And he cant do that by serving as nothing more than a nominal head. We expect to see quite a few chunks of fur flying around the National Football league next fall. Laydens Job Layden wont stand for questionable policies or tactics you can be sure of that. Given a chance he will be as valuable to professional football as Judge K. M. Landis is to organized baseball. For that reason,, and like Judge Landis, he will be unpopular with a certain numv ber of club owners. It will be interesting to note whether or not that number includes Messrs. Thompson, Topping and Bell. Theres always the chance that a few of the owners went along with the rest merely because they figured the commissioner would be nothing .more than a subtle sort of front for the organization. If that is so, those owners failed to exercise good judgment.- Layden will instill more confidence in the league, but not by simply lending his name. He will see to it that the spirit of the law, as well as the letter, is obeyed by every club owner in the National Football league. And that, friends, will be a bitter pill' in a few instances.

Then, after baking, turn the cake upside down on to a piece of waxed paper, as soon as it comes from the oven. Let the pan remain over the cake about five minutes.

But three disgruntled club owners were not satisfied with the arrangement. They proceeded to let the world know it. Their complaints sounded silly, however, when George Halas, owner of the Chicago Bears and the man who signed Layden, denied that Layden was named commissioner without the knowledge of other club owners particularly Thompson and Top- -- V GRAND COULEE DAM:; ;; Hernia PERMANENT PAINLESS patients.
