DENoUNCING THE GOVERN

Sometimes we people in tn e
provinces" get false notions of sup
posedly great doings in that beehive
of humanity, New York City. For
instance, when a news dispatch tells
US that "a mass meeting of 5000
persons was held in Madison Square
Garden. we think that something
horribly important has been pulled
off.
The other day there were 5000 in
Madison Square Garden meeting
held to denounce the government for
deporting one Martens, representing
Bolsheviki Russia and whose job ov-
er here was to stir up civil war, if
he could. That is the job of every
Bolshevist in the world, as announc-
ed specifically by Moscow.
New York City has almost, if not
quite six millions of people. Conse-
Quently, there was one out Of every
one thousand of the population at
that meeting. Only 999 of each 1000
stayed away. A mass meeting in the
ordinary rural town, with that same
average, would therefore, consist of
the magnificent attendance Of one
person, or at the most two. One to
preside and one to move the adop-
ton without a second) of vigorous
and glorious resolutions denouncing
the government.
Hip, hip, hooray!
As a matter of fact, you can get
a meeting at any old time in New
York City protesting against any old
thing. There's always one in a thous-
and who is against everything on
earth. They have denounced the gov
with great and singular
for 1872 years.
You like to juggle with large fig
ures so here's some more good ones.
During 1919, the refinery production
Of gasoline and naptha totaled g.
357 ,857 ,097 gallons. If all this were
moved in standard tank cars of 5000
gallons capacity, a train $500 miles
would be formed. At an average
price of Is cents per gallon, this gas
was worth $712,414,277.46.
Having the "right-of-way" does
not relieve a motorist from the re-
,ponsibility of exercising vigilance
While driving. He should remember
hat another motorist, coming down
/ side street, may have the same
dea and that it will be too late to
argue with him after the accident
occurs. Cemeteries contain many
graves where motorists with the
lie buried.

The Howard college Reserves vis- tied Hueytown Friday afternoon and defeated the high school team there. s2 to [. Hueytown's lone touchdown was the result of blocked and held forward pass.
 The Bulldog Reserves exhibited too powerful an off-tackle attack for the Hueytown boys. and this line smash ing is what won the game for the To- calls, Whitehead carried the ball across twice, while Mccarthy slipped through for three counters.
 All the touchdowns scored by the reserves were from their off-tackle rushes, except an end run by White head.
 Whites kicking was a feature, while Sudduth hit the line hard and ran interference well.
 On the line. Fatty Jackson and Hungry Albritton opened the hole over right tackle to perfection. and it was a comparatively easy matter for the backs to slip through. O'Rear and Carter were good at ends. while Howell, Flowers and Britton did some good defensive work.

Princeton Boys Decorated for Their Work In Restora-

Ry Associnted Press

Soissons. France, November 5.-The work of the Princeton university re- construction units has been com pleted and the city of SoIssons. where the work was done. has decorated the young American architects with med als. cast particularly to commence rate the spirit which moved these young men to volunteer their services to help Farnce In the arduous task of reconstruction.
 During the course of the summer they have co-operated with the French architects in resurveying sec tions of the city and the neighboring villages as far north as Hill 10S and Berry-au-B Bac. where several Amer ican divisions came into action. They have measured up the ruins of some of the demolished buildings and made plans for restoration, but the major part of the work has consisted of de- signing new schools and town halls.
 The greatest problem which con- fronts France today in her recon struction and rehabilitation pro- gramme. is the proper provision for the generation which must grow up in the midst of the ruins. Thus, in the city of Soissons alone, four schools have been laid out providing

Their to o win over the Crimsons a week ago is enough to make them favor ties over almost any team in the United States.
 Game Should Be Close
 However. there are few, if any. who are conceding the Colonels an easy victory over Auburn; in fact, the ma jority of the critics who have ex- pressed themselves seem to think that the Colonels will win by only a touchdown or two, if they do win.
 Centre, off to slow start this sea son, when Clemson college held the Colonels to a 14 to 0 score, has steadily improved, and right now is probably at the zenith of It's power. It will be a powerful organization hurled at the Plainsmen at Rick wood Saturday afternoon.

TEX RICHARD MAY BE FORCED TO| FIGHT FOR PLACE.
Premier High MoguI in Box ing Challenged by Rival
 Promoters
By SPARROW M'GANN

(Copyright, 1921, by The Age-Herald)
 New fork, November 5.-Informa- ton was handed out today which makes it seem certain that election day in this state Tex Rickard will be called upon to fight for his po- sition as grand mogul of the nations boxing promoters.
 The recent story that influences were at work to obtain national guard armies in various cities of the state for boxing and wrestling ex- hibitions has been laughed off. But there isn't laugh in the situation. The fact about the armory matter was that it leaked out before those back of 1t were ready to have any thing known. As a matter of fact, wise guy in talking to a group Of men uptown today winked one eye slowly and said:
 Watch and see how long after cleo ton 1t Is before New York's armories are thrown open to certain groups of promoters for wrestling and boxing bouts"
 May Ruin Boxing
 If this is true, why then it may be set down that the end of boxing In the empire state is in sight. For the people of the commonwealth are unlikely to tolerate condition which sees Tex Rickard and his Madison Square Garden in a war against well, say Jack Curley, Bill Gibson and certain politicians with great ar mories as the settings for their shows.
 There are those who think it might be good thing were Rickard brought face to face with real rival ry. On the other hand, if armories were not to be used it is difficult to Qa a hDx DfNIrn turbed,A If only for the reason that there is but one Madison Square Gar den and no available site upon which structure to match this big arena could be built.
 Charges Against Tex
 So undoubtedly every influence that can be brought to bear to the end that the armories be thrown open to box ing will shortly be supplied. It is held by Richards would-be oppo- nents that he is arbitrary in his deal ings and Is exclusively entrenched in the favor of the state athletic board. They declare he not only gives big purses but compels fighters who indulge in title bouts to sign papers agreeing to fight two additional bouts for Rickard before they fight for any other promoter. It is further
  pay roll and thus more or less direct ly obligated to him if indeed they are not under his control.
 Matters were precipated when Jack Curley, the father of wrestling in New York, was practically legislated out of business when the athletic board ruled out most of the holds that made wrestling the thrilling sport 1t had come to be. This pre- ceded a waiiop which placed the International Sporting club upon its back. The International Sporting club, by the way. is said to be very much alive in the plans that are be- ing made to Organize a formidable rivalry against Rickard-

one of the chief factors In long, straight drive from the tee is con centration. Good drivers. send out long balls because they have learned the lesson of centering solely upon the matter of hitting the ball square on the nose. The player who has learned to do this can repeat time and again. Such player will not let himself be concerned much over the wind which "bloweth where 1t listeth" over the field.
 Takes Hard Blow
 I have seen players take hand kerchief at the tee and hold 1t out to the breeze. evidently to get true line" on the wind. l have seen them doing this when the wind currents were hardly strong enough to sway the dandelions. It takes young gale to interfere with the bulls flight, and the fact is that even high wind has been demonstrated to have little eff feet for or against a good drive. Here Is a good example of this statement.
 Cecil Leitch, the British woman champion, in one of her games re- gently at the Bellec1aire tournament. sent out drive of over 300 yards against a wind that was almost a galel A drive of such length-splen- did distance for powerful man player--is in all probability all that Miss Leitch would hope for had the wind been favoring. Indeed the newspaper accounts of the shot men ton her surprise at the distance.
 With the Wind
 Another thing Is that so many players think q strong wind flying with the ball will lengthen the drive.
