High School Gridders Ban¬ quet Here Varsity N's and Golden Footballs are Awarded; Parke Davis,Gridiron Luminary, Speaks The slot machine racket in Naza¬ reth received an airing Monday evening when two machines and steel cabinet were reported to have been stolen from a local restaurant Early in the evening a man and a woman entered the store and re¬ moved the money from the machine. As far as can be determined they were representatives of the owners of the machines, who place them in various places, remove the money and give the proprietor ot the place his "cut" This couple, after collect¬ ing the money, are reported to have left the place and waited for a short time around town and then hurried away. About this time a truck drew up in front of the same store and two men went In. They demanded the slot machines, picked up the cab- iVet. carried it out of the .store and placed It in their truck and drove away. A short time after their dep«rtur» anotiier automobile arrived. contaln« i:ig a number of men. amonf wbom v.ere coiisUbles or deputies of iOme ra'.'.: frorr.
