The premier's address was fHlrly
well received by the radical socialist
deputies, who hold the balance of
power. Deputies of the rlKht and cen
ter groups roso to their feet and
cheered Laval,
But Leon Blum, socialist leader,
called on Laval to follow Sir Samuel
Hoorc, who resinned aa Britain's for

penally for the socialist-opposed peace
plan which they formulated and
which was later discarded.
Blum's savage attack on Laval call
ed forth protests from rightist dep
uties; and an exchange of blows was
narrowly prevented.
Prance, Laval told the chamber,
has shown respect for the league of
nations on which France's own safety
from attack depends, by "loyal and
Btrlct" application of sanctions,
"however painful."
His main anxiety, he said, was to
avert a Euroiean war now and to as

Drinking, Rowdyism, Van
dalism Tend to Encourage
Lawless Spirit Which
Fcrcgd Lindbergh Away
By Jack Cuddy
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
NEW YORK, Dec. 27. (UP)
American sports leaders today
launched a drive to curb drunken
ness, rowdyism and vandalism at
college football games, warning that
those evlla tended to encourage the
lawlessness and mob aplrlt which ap
parently caused Col. Charles A. Lind
bergh and hta family to seek refuge
In a foreign land.
The "flaAketeers., the stepchild
alumni and the Saturday hoodlums
were flayed bitterly by several speak
ers at the 10th annual luncheon of
the Sportsmanship Brotherhood.
Then the speakers suggested two
methods of combatting them: (1) an
educational campaign, and (2) strong
arm tactics to make them quit.
Flay Non-College Fans
This luncheon cracked down on
the "spectator problem" wnlch prob
ably will feature other meetings of
the numerous sports governing or

week for their annual conclaves.
Undergraduate and alumni bottle
tllters wero reprimanded mildly for
their lack of control at grid games,
but it was the n on -collegiate fans
who received the most severe lash
ing the chaps who never went to
college but who spend "hoodlunt dol
lars" to stage "Roman holidays" at
football stadia.
Concerning these "step-sons of
alma mater." the principal speaker.
President William Mather Lewis of
La Fayette college, pointed out. that
"Just as long as we in the college
admit a portion of the public to
our games merely upon the payment
of a stipulated admission price they
are in exactly the same relative posi
tion as they would be tn attendance
upon any other paid performance,
whether It be In a theater or Madi
son Square Garden."
Evils Increasing
Unfortunately. President Lewis
emphasized, there la far more drink

games than at any other sport or
entertainment end widely publiciz

are increasing on all fronts. He re
