FOOD PLAN HITS
AT B0LSHEvISM
Credit Salvation of Liber-
ated People of Europe,
Says Hoover.

Paris Jan. America struck a
hard blow against Bolsheyism by
securing adoption of its ideas on
unified food distribution. under Her
bert Hoover. and taking the initia-
tive in relief Of the liberated terri
tories, as well as neutral and enemy
countries
Bolshevism is the outgrowth OF
hunger, it was pointed out in official
circles today. and with the spectre
OF want laid there will be little in
centive for extreme radicalism re-
naming.
Hoover, in his first statement fol-
lowing announcement of his ap-
pointment as director general of
food supplies. declared that close
economic and financial cooperation
between the United States and the
allies will save Europe from an
srchy. He pointed out that the out
standing factor for physical. moral
and political salvation of the liber-
ated peoples is credit" to enable
them to purchase food.
"BOlshevism spreads like a dis
ease,'" Hoover said. and runs its
course of destruction. and is no re-
specter of national borders"
Hoover asserted that conditions in
Vienna were desperate and that A.
900 tons of food had been borrowed
from Italy, and 5000 from Switzer-
land and sent into that country.
The Czecho-Slovaks received SINH
lar aid.
America and the allies, Hoover
said. are now spending $4,000. 900 a
month for relief work in Belgium
and Northern France.

BULLDOG NAY
CONE STRONG
BY FRED TURBYvlLLE
N. 3. A Sports Writer.


Il IS always best to wait until ten
days or week before to form real
honest to goodness opinion Of the
merits Of Yale aud Harvard. 1t is al
ways a little trick Of the Crimson and
Blue coaches to conceal the punch
throughout most OF the playing season,
This Isn't the first season that lit
re fellow has been able to beat either
Yale or Harvard. 1t isn't the first
time, either, that Harvard on early
season dope appeared to have it all
over Yale. The Crimson looks much
the best of'the two teams right now.
Most Of the big school teams around
the country have schedule that in
Guides four or five real BIG games.
Yals and Harvard plays many Of these
teams but they know only one BIG
game and that is the one between
themselyes., II Harvard could whip
Yale she would be willing to lose few
minor contests and to allow the little
fellows TO wallop her around the grid
iron Same for Yale.
That IS why each team has habit of
holding back. There also is the great
feeling stirring in the hearts of the
athletes of the two squads Just before
they clash. This feeling results in
pulling together great team out Of a
squsd OF cripples and men who do not
look IS good as the stars Of old.
i was ever thus and If you don't
believe It just read back in football
history and see how many times the
Yale and Harvard teams have shown
poorly throughout the season only to
cut loose at the last moment and dis
play wonderful form.
Yale Is pointed for Harvard and
Harvard for Yale. That is what they
are thinking about in the two camps
every day. They're enemies from away
back and this years situation is little
changed from other years.
