Gilmour Dobie is going to run the
football situation at Cornell, or he is
not going to stay. According to adj
vices received, from Ithaca, the grid
iron wizard met some strenuous OPP
position when he started to work
with the squad last month, but he
killed it in the budding stage with
iron hand tactics. The opposition
is said to have come from the squad,
a couple of the veterans taking oc-
casion to buck on Dobie's instruc-
tons in favor Of some of Cornells
staid methods. Dobie heard the
complaints thru, then invited the
complainers to leave the squad.
After the workout, Dobie took the
bunch inside and gave them
straight from the shoulder lecture in
which he declared he would not stand
for any reference to the past. The
blow fell hard, but since that day he
has had the undivided attention Of
the entire squad and as result is
bending the situation to his own par
ticular plan.

III Georges Carpenter succeeds in
stopping Battling Levinsky when the
| two face each other in the Jersey
| City ball park on October II, will the
Frenchman even then be regarded as
Il worthy opponent for Jack Demp-
sey? Carpenter says he made the
match with Levinsky for the express
| purpose of showing the American
sporting public that he Is a real
| fighter, but there seems to be a dis
position to concede him the victory
/ in advance. OF course, Carpenter is
the big attraction in this match. but

! to be a tremendous success If it were
not regarded as one man fight. Lee
whisky seems to be looked upon
merely in the light of an animated
punching bag to be used by the
| F'renchman in a demonstration. Such
| is the power of publicity. If the
match were scheduled to be held in
France, no doubt Levinsky would
come in for as much attention as
Georges himself. over here the Bat
I tier is an old story. He never was
sensational fighter, so that there is
IilltIe 10 say ABOUT MIN, but II Wouiu
mot be surprising If he proved to be
! n big factor once the gong sounds Tor
action Yet it would be surprising IL
Levinsky proved to be the winner.
! No fighter that ever visited these
shores has received one-half the
amount of praise and adulation thar
has been bestowed upon Carpenter.
Foreign champions have repeatedly
failed to make good over here, and
the French boxers in particular have
made poor showing, yet 1t Is eX-
pected that Georges will prove to be
an exception to the rule.

 It was further stated at the depart ment that the American government had never had any intimation of de- sire by the French government ito scrap the present League of Nations" or to revise it.

 "Hardins's whole campaign" Mir. Daniels said in his address here. seems to be based on the merchants aign, We strive 10 please even the most fas- tidious.' Certainly he displays his goods on the counter, every pattern. even including the crazy quilt, with an air of confidence that all voters will find something to warrant bargainins Where does Harding stand on the league? Almost anywhere. He is like the teacher. who would teach tho world was flat or round. as the Nchooi trustees preferred. He has a fresh ass sortment of views for every day in ihe week, subject to change without aotice. His views may be thus summarized:
 ONE WEEKS MENU
 "On Monday--Favors the league as written at Versailles, with the Lodge reservations. Proof He voted that way in the Senate.
 "On Tuesday--Favors scrapping he league. as advocated by Hiram John. son. Proof: It is not interpretations seek I seek rejection of the league as stated in his Des Moines speech.
 On Wednesday-Favors substituting The Hague tribunal Proof: In speech at Marion. declared The Hague, with some teeth, would enable America to discharge it's duty.
 "On Thursday Favors drifting with no opinion at all Proof: In Baltimore, in constructive policy
 "On Friday-Favo some inchoate con- cert of nations Proof: Speech advocat. ing an association of nations that will induce the forty-one nations already in to desert it and join an association made iA Marion.
 Ton Saturday, Favors repudIation of ourr association with allied nations an1 favors separate peace with Germany Proof: Voted in the Senate for a sep arate peace, which Senator Lodge said W ould brand America with lasting dis- honor

States. Bishop Gailor of Tennessee de-
livered the principal address at the
opening session today of the twenty
fourth annual convention of the Sum
day School Institute, held at Epiphany
Church, on G street.
The convention, which is intended
to stimulate interest in religious edu-
cation, is being attended by Sunday
school teachers from all over the Dis
trict of Columbia and from the Mary
land counties of Charles. Prince
Georges. Montgomery and St Marys.
and it is being held under the auspices
of the board of religious education of
the Episcopal diocese of Washington.
Country's Principal Need.
"f I were asked to state what is
the principal need of this country at
this time" Bishop Gailor said, Il
should specify, first EDUCATION; sec
ond education, and third, the right
kind of education. We believe TINS
country to be worth saving. It's great
principles are worth living and dying
for. We are quite young as a repub-
lie. The republic of Venice. lasted 600
wears. but it eventually died because
the people forgot the spiritual and
moral things of life. George Wash
jpgton said that our republic would
last as long as our moral ideas last.
Eve have had some rude shocks in
recent wears" Bishop Gailor continued.
1--WE found that there were 10000 men
in the first draft for the war who were
absolutely illiterate. We have found
that in this country there are 100000
persons who cannot speak or write Eng
fish. In Chicago there is a territory
a mile and a half square where no word
of English is spoken. In the United
states there are 100000 persons who
cannot read the Constitution of the
United States in English.
Remedy II Sugscsted.
"Some one some orga nization espe-
calIv the church, has got to get busy
and transform these people. and the best
way to begin to transform them. so
that their real. their fervid patriotism
may he brought out. is to begin in the
sunday schools of the church, and by
teaching Young parents their duty to
their Children
The convention will continue through
out the afternoon. and there will be
great public meeting at Epiphany
church tonight at S o'clock, at which
the principal address will be delivered
