BERKELEY, ' Ca)., Jan. 13 Iff)
University of California's Bears, once
the toast of far western football, will
bid for gridiron glory this year un
der the leadership of Smiling Bill
Ingram, late of the W. S. Naval acad
emy. '
Announcement of the appointment
of : "Navy Bill" was made yesterday
by the executive committee of the
associated students, ruling body of
student affairs at the university. It
was a mere formality as Ingram had

sistant to Knute Rocknc at Notro
Dame, is in Hue for the other as
sistant berth under Ingram.
Neither a "miracle man" of foot
ball nc." one of the old masters, In
gram, nevertheless, has a record com
parable to that of any of the young
er conches. He is 34 years old.
Graduate Manager Monona n com
mented on his selection as follows:
"We have chosen Ingram because
of his Bplendld qualities of person
ality and leadership."
' Ingram was a backfield star for
Navy from 1916 to 1918, being-named
jMl-AmeriCRn quarterback" in the lat
ter year. He learned football under
Gil Doble and in 1919 Was recalled
to Annapolis to act as the latter's
assistant. ' ' "
No mention was made of salary
but it It believed he will receive at
least $10,000 per year, possibly $12,
000 and not more than $15,000. It
authorized to offer an high
$15,000.

have much difficulty assembling
material. Six seasoned performers
coming back next fall include, Schal
dach, Griffiths, Gill, Valianos and
Klrwan, backfield men, and Fritz
Calm, tackle.
. Ingrain is known as an "attacking
strategist" and favors the Warner
wing-back formation, necessarily
modified by his own type of play. In
Henry Schaldach, brilliant sopho
more halfback last year, he will have
a fleet-footed ball carrier such as this
system of offense requires.
Coaches in this section whose teams
will oppose those of Ingram, had
high words of praise for the new
comer. Shawkey Loses In
Race With Death
MIAMI BEACH, Pla., Jan. 13 (A1)
A scant twenty minutes after her
husband had left Jacksonville aboard
an airplane in an effort to reach her
bedside, Mrs. Jacqueline Shawkey,
wife of Bob Shawkey, former New
York Yankee manager, died In a hos
pital here early today.
i Airs. onawKey,-" wnu was - or yvm a
jiuold and a native of -Denver, Colo-'
rado, succumbed to pneumonia, an
ailment with which she was stricken
shortly after arriving here from New
York last Friday.
When her condition became crit
ical a chartered plane was dispatched
to Jacksonville yesterday for Shaw
key, who was en route here from the
north by train. Shawkey reached
Jacksonville earlier In tho night, but
his departure by plane was delayed
until 12:10 a. m., today because of
bad weather.
Slick Walker Kayos
Adgie In One Round
PHILADELPHIA, Jan;. 13 m
Mickey Walker, whose middleweight
championship was rcently declared
vacant by the New York athletic
commission, went out of his class
here last night and knocked out Matt
Adgie, slugging Philadelphia light
ncavy weignt in tne iirst rouna oi
their 10-round bout. It was the first
time the Phlladclphian had been
knocked out. After Adgie had land
ed half a dozen blows on his head
and body, Walker bounced a left to
the jaw that caused his knees to
buckle. Another to the same spot
had the iceman groggy. As another
clipped him, Adgie hit the floor with
a thud. The referee stopped the
bout.
MARIE KARDOS IS
EXECUTED TODAY
(Continued fcira rage One)
from tho scaffold. She sprang back
screaming but was reassured when
her friends told her the executioner
was a doctor.
This morning she arose and dressed
unassisted and sipped a cup of coffee
before being led weeping into the
prison courtyard where seventy pcr
U sons were assembled to witness her
f death. She prayed there again for
;. a moment and then was led to the
gallows where the president of the
court read the sentence of death to
Ml her. Concluding, he addressed the
executioner: "Hangmen do your
) duty."
j An attending physician pronounced
i her unconscious within a few sec-
onds and dead in eight minutes. Her
ii body was left on the gallows for half
J an hour and then cut down and
t plnced ln a coffin in the prison
t morgue.
Tno hanging followed the pec liar
Hungarian method. The two os
sis tan ts drew her feet toward them
4 as the stool was knocked from be
; neath her. The hangman, holding
her face with a handkerchief, turned
' it from side to side until she was
pronounced dead when he lifted his
' hat and Informed the president of
the court that the sentence had been
f carried out.
One of the condemned woman's
last callers was the man known here
i' abouts as her sweetheart, Stefan To-
i dor. who arrived In a sleigh . this
morning and was admitted to the
y prison to see her. She received him
coiaiy.
Todor obtained permission to wlt-
ness the execution and bhouted fran
tically, threatening everybody around
him when the woman was pinioned
at the gallows and had to be re
moved.
While standing on the footstool
beneath the scaffold Frau Kardos
asked a delay in order to speak to
her sister but the Judge did not re
ply. Hundreds of persons saw the
final motions of the execution from
. roofs surrounding the prison.
The condemned woman last night
refused any sleeping draught but to
day she took'Several gltv.ea at r.isruly

Fight Situation Has

,NEW YORK, Jan. 13 m The com
plex heavyweight situation has
reached the point where the fighters
are being asked to sign not for one
bout but for three.
" The plight of young BUI Strlbllng,
Macon, Oa., contender, might be
taken as an example. Young Bill's
father-manager, "Pa" Strlbllng, was
all set to sign Bill to a tltlo match

forfeit for the match with Camera.
','Pa" Strlbllng took this offering
under advisement although it was
plain he waa not particularly pleased
with it.
Yesterday's conferences were be

Buyers of fire insurance indirectly but actually
contribute a vast sum approximately. 30
million dollars annually in taxes, most of
which are of a special nature and In addition
to the regular taxes borne by insurance com-
" panies.' Such taxes are ' a burden 'upon' Wi '
premium of the policyholder, notwithstanding
they are collected from tbe companies.
The original purpose of taxes on the premiums
paid by policyholders was to maintain state
supervision of the business. However, such
supervision now uses but a few cents of each
dollar so collected. The balance goes into
the general funds of the states.
Add to the Cost of Insurance
These special and regular state taxes are
factors in the cost of insurance. The opinion
of the Chamber of Commerce of the United ,
States has been expressed as follows:
" ; ; ; Special state taxes now levied
on policyholders through insurance com
panies should not be considered as a
source of general revenue, but should
be reduced to the total in each state
which will adequately support such
state's departmental supervision , ; . "

of the fire insurance business of the country.

its effect upon the cost of your insurance.
