6-to-6 tie. Before the earae Syracuse
was an overwhelming favorite. A few
more games like this will convince East

a moderate sort Of football In tho West.
This season the public has wakened to
the fact they havc real teams out there.
The victory OF tho Oregon Acgics over
the Michigan Aggies demonstrated this
fact. Especially Is this so when We stop
and consider the fact that the Oregon
Aggies have been beaten twice this sea,
son by Coast SQUADS. The University
OF Washington-which finished another
season without being beaten-has also
come in for a large amount Of publicity.
Yet Montana has been entirely un-
heralded.

steamships can be easily converted
into useful cruisers. it is proper that
the government should participate in
the work Of building up a merchant
marine fleet. IL should give mail
subsidies TO encourage commerce
and naval auxiliary subsidies to en-
courage the building of fast vessels.
These vessels should always be held
subject to the instant needs of the
government in time Of threatened
war.
1t is not necessary or desirable
that the government itself should
build and own and operate steamship
lines. American enterprise is capable
of performing that task more ef-
flciently than the government could
perform it. But If foreign competi-
'tion is so keen and foreign subsidies
so potent that American enterprise
will not build and operate vessels
without government aid then gov
ernment aid should be given in the
way suggested.
Surely the encouragement Of COM
