By ZOE BECKLEY U'est Point, N. Nov.

15 A certain towering gentleman of mighty shoulders and stanchion-like neck is laboring to put the Army "mules" in shape to get the Navy's "goat" in their annual She'll Be Adelphi's First "Grandchild" When Mathilde Leipniker of 1068 E. 10th st. graduates from Adelphi College this June she will become the first "grandchild" of the institution. Her mother, formerly Miss Florentina Caras, graduated with the class of 1907. Although Miss Leipniker probably will be the first second generation student at Adelphi to graduate, two other possibile "grandchildren" are now numbered among the undergraduates.

They are Miss Leipniker sister, Florentina, a sophomore, and Louise Cardoza, a freshman. Both of Miss Cardoza's parents attended Adelphi when it was a co-educational institution. DR.

The text of the two books by Co lumbla University professors, the use of which has been attacked in Chi cago on the ground of pro-British bias are the same as those of the books used widely in the New York City school system. This was said today by Professor David 8. Muzzey, head of the American history department of Barnard College, and Carlton J.

H. Hayes, professor of modern European history at Columbia, who continued to treat the Chicago charges as a "colossal joke." "I can't take this seriously," said Professor Hayes today. "The point is that those people out there haven't read my book. They can't have read it and make the statements they are making. The whole thing is a colossal joke." "Modern History," the very same text as is used in cnicago, according to Professor Hayes, Is on the approved list for New York City high schools and is quite widely used.

Nevertheless, in Chicago, it was said to be "crammed" with "a hostile version of the colonists, degrading America in the eyes of our children and exalting the British Empire." Professor Muzzey was equally reluctant with Professor Hayes to take the Chicago charges seriously. Books Acceptable Here. "The same text which was termed pro-British in Chicago is used without complaint In the city high schools," he said today, with a laugh. Professor Muzzey said that he was hot a member of the English-Speaking Union, and that he had filed in Chicago Federal Court a $100,000 damage suit against former Illinois Congressman John J. Gorman, who made this and other charges, as his answer.

"As a matter of fact, I am a member of the Sons of the American Revolution," Professor Muzzey said gayly.

The speakers were Bernard Semel, honorary secretary of the Jewish education association; Mr. Ribman, Samuel Rottenoerg.

president of the Jewish Center, and Jonah J. Goldstein, general chairman of the campaign. Jacob H. Cohen announced that $10,000 of the local quota has already been raised. Arrangements for the completion of the East Midwood Jewish Center within the next six months were made at a dinner last night, given by Louis Adler, president of the Center, for officials.

It was announced that the building fund has now reached $200,000 with the donations of $49,000 received during the holy days. FREE MUSICAL SOCIETY OPENS FOURTH SEASON The Brooklyn Free Musical Society opened its fourth season at the Academy of Music last night with a concert by Dmitry Dobkin, singer and founder of the aoclety, assisted by Jean Epitzer, violinist, and Anna Winitsky and Milton Katz, pianists.

II Salat 17 SHIP NEWS SKIPS DIE TOMORROW. football me. The towering gentleman is "Biff" Jones, who drills the West Pointers in the functions of field artillery as his regular job and coaches the Army football team as an avocation. They work hard at West Point. Ten minutes of 6 in the morning sees every lad in the Post with face, boots and buttons shined, and body alert for duty.

Football, baseball, soccer, tennis, polo, lacrosse, basketball. track work yes, and even golf come under the line of duty at the Point. Two days a week every cadet in the place gets his drilling at some of these games, has to take it as part of the works. By the time you see those babies out on the gridiron ready for a big game, 'hey have already done a day's work, points out Coach Practice Time Is Short. "The general public," he says, "doesn't realize that.

They don't know that the Army team has actual' ly less time for practice than any other squad I know of. "Intramural athletics form a part of every man's course throughout the four years. As every one knows, the academic work is good and tough, too, and every man strives for the Star. The Star corresponds to the Phi Beta Kappa Key in other colleges, and only those win it who get a general average of 92 percent or over. There were 29 Star men last year out of 1,250 cadets." Jones is a Star man.

And, bv the way, he was not christened "Biff." He was duly tagged with a very nice name, Lawrence McC. But at the Point he's "Biff" and "Biff" only. One ould hate to be biffed by "Biff." Aside from his physical dimen sions. Captain Jones is accounted an unusual coach in many ways. His methods are rather human than of the orthodox Army type, for all his long association with West Point, He came there as a cadet from Wash ington, D.

in 1913, and was a substitute guard in his first season. Next year they let him tackle, and he promptly tackled himself to stardom. He kept on tackling through 1915 and 1916. and was elected cap tain for 1917. You remember what happened between the United States and points east in 1917.

So "Biff" Jones went overseas and tackled the German Army with field artillery and airplane, being so engaged until the armistice. He took a flyer in football before he came sailing home helping the 89th Division to beat the 36th in the championship tournament in Paris. This chore being over, he Joined the coaching team at West Point each autumn, and now belongs there as the beforementioned instructor In field artillery. Blff Tells Why Army Lost. So far.

West Point has come through the season with only one defeat at the hands of Yale. "Why," inquired this reporter innocently, "did you lose the Army-Yale game, 10 to 6, a couple of weeks ago?" "Because," replied "Biff" Jones, "Yale had a better team and played better football." "What!" we cried. "No alibi?" "None," said the Captain. "And will the Army win the big game from the Navy?" "That depends on more factors than this world dreams of. We have a better chance to win.

on amount of having lost to Yale. Success and confidence go to the head xnrw than liquor does. Hardest job I have is training fellows to keep a balance between success and failure, and not being affected by either. A man can't learn balance in a minute. It'a a matter of character plus plus training, practice and experience." Another thing about Captain "Biff" is that he has definitely cut the pre-game harangue calculated to boost the morale of the players.

What do I talk to them about? Well about two minutes merely emphasizing our good points and our weak ones and urgina them to use their heads." And they certainly used their heads In the recent game with Notre Dame, in which they licked the Westerners 18 to 0. Popular Superstition. The popular "superstition" is that all West Pointers are physical, mental and moral perfection and that they can just naturally play football, win a war or manage affairs of state on order. The fact Is that men. If normal In mind and body.

6 feet 4 or over In height and weighing not less than 120 pounds are acceptable. Army football hasn't such a wonderful range of choice for Its varsity team. Captain "Biff squad, however, possesses the advantage of having to keep in trim the whole year round, whereas university chaps can forgs on champagne and trufllf and dance all night between seasons they so elect, doggone em. But there's no such word as relax In your West Pointers lexicon. It might be better from the football standpoint if there were.

As It is. they are eternally keyed up and on a line edge. If a man goes and fall In love with a girl this week, his fine-drawn nerve are apt to to flnoey trying to keep his eye on the ball In some big game next week. If a fullback Is worried about his rating In mathematics his feet will not be equipped with Mercury wings. Ratings are relentless at West Paris.

POLICE SERGEANT BELIEVED SUICIDE But Detectives Still Probe Cangster Theory. Although their investigation is not yet finished, police under Inspector John J. Sullivan of Brooklyn believe that James T.

Reilly, acting lieutenants of detectives, whose body was found in the Marcy Baths, Marcy ave. and S. 2d yesterday, killed himself. The one murder possibility, it was said today, lay In the fact that Reilly had been active recently in rounding up gangsters. Dr.

Richard Grimes, assistant medical examiner, said he believed Reil-ly's wound was self-inflicted. The body was found Just before 1 o'clock. The policeman had been dead three hours. One shot had been fired from his service revolver. Reilly Joined the force in October, 1911, and was made a sergeant on May 5.

1926. He was a first-grade detective sergeant and had been acting as a lieutenant in command of detectives In the precinct for about a year. POLITICS BLAMED IN LOUVAIN FIGHT Warren Says Inscription on Li brary Building Will Stay.

"Some of the men who have Pres idential aspirations said the Inscrlp, lion should be changed because they wanted to get the pacifist and Ger man vote at the next election It la remarkable what a number of these embltlous men there are in this country today.

Washington. Nov. 16 tJPi The posl- I tion of the South on negro suffrage as contrasted with its attitude toward Prohibition again is in dispute on Capitol Hill. Senator Glass. Democrat, Virginia, sees no inconsistency in opposing en forcement of the 14th and lStli Amendments, giving negroes citizenship and the right of voting, and in favoring enforcement of the 18tli Amendment.

Senator Borah, Republican, Idaho, would have all en forced alike. Their views were expressed in letters made public last night. Replying to an editorial in the New ifoik World, the Virginian declared it as "stupid'' to draw an analogy between the South's views on the two subjects. The i4th and 15th Amendments, he said, were born "in the passions of the war and constituted an attempt to destroy white civilization in nearly one-third of the country and to erect on its ruins an Ethiopian State, ignorant, profligate, corrupt." He termed their adoption an "unspeakable crime" and expressed double as to whether they ever had been constitutionally ratified. On the other hand, he asserted, the Prohibition Amendment had been duly ratified by 46 of the 48 States and legal machinery for its enforcement provided.

Writing to Senator Edge, Democrat, New Jersey, Senator Borah declared he would lend his support to any effort to have the Republican National Convention pledge itself to enforcement not only of the Prohibition Law, as he had previously recommended, but of the negro suffrage amendments as well. "It would be a magnificent thing he said, "If this discussion of the 18th Amendment leads to a more settled determination to uphold and maintain the Constitution as a whole."

The Ambessador made an address at the Sherry-Netherland Hotel at a dinner in his honor given by the Association of Foreign Press Correspondents. "Some people in America seem' to entertain the foolish idea that Frenchmen have a natural taste for war, that they positively cherish war making, that they are always ready to make war just for the fun of the thing," he said. "It is just the same as if you said the South Americans were fond of yellow fever and the Japanese of earthquakes.
