'If any one ever doubted Oscar Under woods national popularity, abundant proof is furnished in the editorials in the newspapers throughout the land" said a club man. From one end of the country to the other the papers, large and small have had laudatory articles on Under wood, and since last Mondays primary all the leading dailies that I have seen have been congratulating Alabama on having given the democratic leader Yn overwhelming majority. Underwood is indeed a great national favorlte."

HE'S AN AWFUL NICE
BOY EVEN IF HIS NAME
IS EDWARD DEAR
Bill HorreII Bully Referee, and Coach
Geary Is Best in State, and All
Sorts of Pigskin Slang
By SARAH

BY SHhAH
He said to call him Ed because
no one would know him by the
name of Edward, but just between
us he likes best of all to be recog-
nized as captain Brooks. The title
is not new, for this is his second
year as leading spirit of the Coyotes
but it's the idea of the thing, don't
YOU know. He's an awfully nice boy
anyway, and it's perfectly natural
for him to be proud of his team, es-
pecially last night after winning
II to 0 game from Tucson.
But tell me, why isn't he con-
ceited? Doesn't it make you bit
suspicious when chap is big, good
looking and eighteen, and doesn't
think he knows it all. particularly
when he's in high school, a senior
at that?
We talked and talked and talked
and not once did he embarrass me
by his mightiness. 1t was always,
Bill Horrelrs a bully referee or
"Geary's the best coach in the state
But what does the captain-what
do you do?"
"Oh, nothing much 1t isn't neces-
sary to exercise authority over the
PLAYERS with such a coach as Geary.
I'm supposed to protest if anything
goes wrong, and then you know the
captains flip coin for choice of
goals" he added unconcernedly.
Did you ever hear anything as
shocking? The very idea of encour-
aging youths to gamble-yet he tells
me it is an old and respected Gus
tom. Perfectly speeches., l gazad
at him in amazement only to recall
the canteen.
1T looked bad, I'll admit" said the
diplomat when closely questioned.
But it was wintergreen liniment
and alcohol that we inhaled after
each quarter. No one objected to
that, but some of the fellows moth
ers are alarmed because sanitary
drinking fountains have not been in
stalled, but please don't say any
thing about that-it might prove in
teresting to other mothers"
You see how wonderfully he han
dies situations, exactly like he wrig-
giles through the line when playing
football.
How does it feel to be. a WIN
ming captain?"
Great. l know what it is to De
a losing one. for we lost to the
Alumni last year. 1t will not happen
again for we have much better
balanced team-fewer stars and more
all round good players. There is not
much technique to the game and
what there is can be acquired in q
short time-but yea must keep cool
and use your head"

Adonis does not believe it is the

Admiral Mahan replied, and we may

But the lesson will not be shown In
any ship-to-ship fight Dreadnaught

The really interesting and instruc.

that Is as 1t should be.
The original dreadnaught idea was
ship with all big guns OF IL or IA

three or four-inch caliber, for use
against torpedo bats. But the size
OF the Lesser battery has been creep

considerable calculation In the con-

The admiral declined TO commert

TO be involved. Nor would he ad-
vance any theories as to the damage
likely to be inflicted upon the ex-
