EASTERN HAS NEW
FOOTBALL MENTOR
IN JACK BURNETT

Eastern High School has new
coach in the person of Jack Burnett. a
newcomer to scholastic athletic cir
cles here, and a graduate OF the Sa-
cred Heart College, of Michigan.
Burnett has been added to the fac
ulty at Eastern, it is understood, ard
will coach all athletics at the Capitol
Hill School The arrival of Burnett
has meant the resignation OF Cuppy
Farmer, who had offered his services
until Eastern could get a regular foot
ball mentor.
At considerable sacrifice OF time
Farmer took hold of the football
team at Eastern under discouraging
conditions. There were few veterans
at Eastern, and it was difficult to get
a full team out at any time.
Burnett, who succeeds Bill Nc
caffrey as regular athletic mentor, is
said to have had considerable football
experience. He was fullback on the
Sacred Heart College eleven, and is
said to be well yersed in basketball
and baseball.
The new coach has been working
with the team for, the past three or
four days, and is/well liked by the
boys at Eastern. Eastern recently
battled Central. and while the Mount
Pleasant lads won by 4S to o, Eastern
kept hitting at. it until the smaller
lads were played out.
Cuppy Farmer. who leaves Eastern
as football coach, has had a unique
experience in the annals Of coaching
here His tenure at Eastern rounded
out three successful years as coach
of high school football teams, as he
has been Identified with teams at
Business, Tech, and finally Eastern.

BOWLERS HAVENO
LUCK IN SPILLING
DUCKS OFF ALLEY

With few teams rolling over the
500, and still fewer individuals top
ping the 120 mark, the little old
naples withstood a combined attack
last night.
Bowlers were decidedly off color.
The Legal team, OF the Emergency
Fleet Corporation circuit, hung up a
521 score, the best of the evening.
Only two games OF $50 were rolled,
the highest OF the nights unsuccess-
full onslaught, and Beck, OF Hiram.
in the Masonic League, got one at
100, and Lansdale. OF Files, got 1873.
There were several creditable sin

With such q hard opponent as the
"Heayies" conquered, Harvard. in its
desire to vanouIsh still more lusty
rivals. Is looking longingly for an op-
portunity to meet some regular col
lege eleven. The football committee
has deoreed that-onIy military elevens
be played. hut the boys on the team
would not be adverse to meeting q
few of the neighboring colleges in
formally.
Fred W. Moore, Harvard's graduate
manager, in talking about the Grim
sons football plans last summer,
stated that Boston College and other
teams might be met Informally, but
the football committee must have put
Its foot down on the proposition when
the present season opened In con-

Mr. Hoover is said to have warned
business men of the danger of social
ism If they insist on extorting big
profits on what they do for the gov
eminent Mr. Hoover Is entirely
right. Socialism as a basis of gov.
eminent and political economy never
has and never will work. 1t has been
tried repeatedly by different groups
ever since the dawn of civilization
and has always failed to work and al
ways will. Human iealousios and
human ambitions are such that politi-
cal socialism is impossible so long as
the human race remains even ap-
proximately as at present but it is
easy tC force a nation into socialistic
experiments and that is what Mr.
Hoover means by his recent remarks
The government buys fine, heavy all
leather shoes for its soldiers at s2S1
per pair. When individuals go to a
store for shoes equally good they
have to pay from Sc to $l2. fNen
tho flimsy shoes of little leather that
the women wear are costing from 81
TO SIG per pair in the later styles.
This contrast means that somewhere
and in some way the people are &c.
ing robbed Greed is getting an-dn-
due share and the cause of socialism
is phshcd ahead We don't believe Il
is the retail dealers fault for whoever
heard OF retail dealer in country
town getting rich. On the contrary
more than two-thirds of the failures
each year in this country are among
retail merchants. The cost OF mining
coal, including a splendid profit for
the coal mine owners and big wages
for the miners, is from s. to 81 per
ton yet the people OF the United
States are paying from IS to $50 per
ton for ccal. The coal operators are
making themselves rich, but the
greatest work they are doing is to
advance the cause of Socialism. So.
cialism Is gaining strength daily, but
its growth is not due to the shouters
on the street corners. The powerful
promoters of socialism are the shrewd
and scheming men who sit in banks,
Offices and factories and take a big
ger rakeoff than they deserve on the
business OF the country.
