Pile-driving tactics continued today to feature the practice ses sion of the collegiate stars select-, ed from the eastern half of the country. Those who have watched the squad coached by Andy Kerr and Dick Hanley believe it will be the popular choice when the kickoff takes place.

The defensive drills have indi cated Stanford's fast ends. Monk Moscrip and Keith Topping, will be rushing the passer most of the afternoon. In fact Thornhill, who does not believe in secret practice. has said as much. PASADENA, Calif., Dec. 28.- (P) Rose Bowl officials took steps today to build up what they hope will be an impregnable defense against would-be gate crashers expected for the New Year's game here between Stanford and South ern Methodist. With thousands of disappoint ed ticket seekers expected to aug ment the usual forces who annual ly have broken down the fence or attempted to, three lines of de fense wiU be erected in anticipa tion ot trouble January 1. The first Is a new fence of steel, with rugged posts Imbedded in concrete. Behind this will be a pa trol of 100 policemen. The re serve line will be composed of the Pasadent fire department, hose lines hooked up and engines run ning. Should the situation get out of hand of the constabulary, the rushing humanity will be met with a watery barrage of suffi cient force to mow down the at tackers at 20 paces. Open Subsidy Idea To Take Spotlight NEW YORK. Dec. 27 .-(Jpy-At- ter secretly debating conflicting issues for two days, leaders of the national collegiate A. A. plan to turn the spotlight of tomor row's 30th annual meeting npon the radical decision of the South eastern conference to subsidize athletes, particularly football players, openly and under faculty control. Since taking action two weeks ago at Atlanta, the Southeastern group, composed of 13 of the largest and oldest educational in stitutions rn the deep south, has been under fire from academic sources Criticism, based on the ground that open subsidization of studens with athletic abUity will only lead to more abuses, has been offset by praise In many quarters for trie "progrersive" character of a move which brings out into the open, where It can be properly controlled, a com mon collegiate practice. Whether the N. C. A. A., as a whole, approves or disapproves the action already put into effect by the Southeastern group, to morrow's discussion Is expected to help clear the atmosphere.

Apparently Japan's hoped-for benefits from the north era province are not being realized. Trade has not been stimulated to the extent anticipated and Manchukuo has proved a dismal failure in the role of commissary for the island empire's nuHions.
