1t is to be hoped the Ichabods have

The lineups for the Southwestern
and Ottawa games have not been an
nounced yet. Southwestern is un-
defeated and has one of the strongest
teams in the conference, according to
the dope. Coach BeargS statement,
1--WE are more afraid of them than of
any other team" shows the respect in
which he holds them. Ottawa also is
undefeated and has the same team
that won the state championship in
1918.
Is championship Week"
1--WE call this coming week cham
pionship week." said Bearg today,
s'because we feel that if we can win
these three games We will win the
championship. Also there are so
many important games in the state
that will have a direct bearing on the
championship.
1--WE are working hard and training
absolutely. Every man on the team
knows what we face and is preparing
accordingly. Captain Sharp has been
sick with tonsilitis but is attending
classes again. He has not been able
to practice this week, however. and
may not get into the c. of E. game.
THE game with the Presbyterians
will be a hard battle and Washburn
will have to play in top form to win
it."
Coach Bearg said he has been work
ing A. Erickson out in Sharp's place
and that he was doing pretty well.

CARPENTIER-IDOL or SOLDIERS
VS., DEMPSEY-IDLE IN WAR
The Home Sector, Ex-Soldiers' Maya
zine, Says Some Things About
"America's Greatest Fighter

Aesht~As
The Home Sector, the ex-soldiers'
weekly conducted by the former edi-
torial council of the Stars and Stripes,
in contrasting the war records of
Georges Carpenter, French heavy
weight champion, and Jack Dempsey
champion of the United States. says:
IT there is no unforeseen interven-
ton or failure of plans, Jack Demp-
sey will climb into the squared ring
next summer carrying the title of
Americas greatest fighter, and, in the
most advertised, most lucrative prize
fight in the history of sports, will en-
deavor to hold the worlds champion
ship.
Americas greatest fighter! Pause
over the phrase.
Americas greatest fighter-hero
of a few weeks in the shipyards, hero
of a few minutes battle with Jess Will
lard, hero of the fur overcoat and
moving pictures at several thousand
dollars Il week, hero of two peaceful
and eminentiy profitable years in the
United States while the greatest
worlds championship was being
fought several thousand miles away.
Americas greatest fighter--he who
never knew the feel of a gun on his
shoulder, the weight of full jack or
his back. the weary length of a muddy
lzilometer, the whine of an enemy
shell.
rs he as great a fighter as Scotty,
the 17-year-oId boy who, put to hold
a path in the woods north of Chateau
Thierry, killed thirty charging Ger
mans before he died on his Chauchat?
Americas greatest fighter. No,
not by several millions. And the pic
ture of Dempsey demanding 100000
for an hours appearance in the ring,
the recent discussion of the possibility
of his going to France TO fight two
years after the fighting is over over
there, is too much. The present toll
Grafton of Dempsey denotes a lack of
consideration for every one of the five
million fighting men in this country.
The suggestion that he go to France
is something like an insult to those
old buddies of ours who, not so many
kilometers from Paris lie row on row,
thru snow and rain and sunshine, new
er to fight-nor speak-again.
Dempsey is a case for all the re-
turned service men in this country
especially. perhaps. for the greatest
organized fraction of them, the Ameri-
can Legion. Resolutions protesting
against his further public appearance
as a fighting man, resolutions asking
him to relin1uish his title in favor
of someone else-someone perchance
who knows the taste of slum and
beans-might help the situation"

SCRIPTURE


How much better Is it to get wisdom
than gold and to get understanding rather
TO be chosen than silver.
And the highway of the upright is to
depart from evil; he that keepeth his way
preserveth his soul.
And pride goeth before destruction, and
an naughty spirit before a fall.
Better it is to be of an humble spirit with
the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the
proud.
He that handleth a matter wisely shall
find good and whose trusteth in the Lord
happy is he.
The wise in heart shall be called prudent
and the sweetness of the lips increaseth
learning.
Understanding is a wellspring Of life unto
him that hath it; but the instruction OF
fools is folly.
