THE AUGE BLUES

Tn Augustana band was present
at the contest, decked out in full
regalia, and certainly was a sight
for sore eyes. With Elmer Hanke
as director, and Roy Anderson as
band major, the band marched in
formation and played Augie songs,
putting additional pep into the
football players and rooters.
Hans Pearce. cheer leader at
Angie, led a goat around the field
before the game, but it seems that
that short period was the only
time which Augie had MiIlikin's
goat Art Swedberg, coach at Au-
gustana, says that the time is COM
ing. however, when Augie will ac-
tually have Millikins nanny.
Maynard "Grubby" Wood is
about as plucky and gritty as they
make 'em. Had the contest between
Augustana and Millikin ended 20
seconds earlier he would not be
lying in the city hospital, for it was
in these few seconds of play that
his leg was broken. See you at the
hospital" he chirped as the auto
rolled away. Such a player is val
liable to any team, and Grubby s
absence during remainder Of the
season is keenly regretted
Gully Wilson, right end for Au-
guStana, was feeling pretty blue
after Saturdays contest Not be-
cause his team was defeated, but
because of sideline reflections upon
his playing. Wilson played a game
Saturday of which any man playing
the wing position can well be
proud 1t was his part to box his
man, force the play into the line
and not allow the runner to go
around end This Wilson did ev-
cry time, and because he did not
break up the interference and get
the runner, some of the spectators
were of the opinion that his game
was weak, conclusion without
warrant

Baltimore, Dec. 20, 1921.


Next Wednesday, the General AS
sembly will convene at Annapolis and
for the following three months will
hold the centre of the stage in Mary
land.
II ought to be, and probably will
be. a business session. There is
nothing that can legitimately come
before il Of partisan character, un-
less partisanship may be dragged into
it for effect. There ought to be
nothing of factiona character, but
doubtless there will be, for the mem
bers are human, they have their likes
and dislikes. their jealousies, their
ambitions. their desires for promi-
nence and preferment. and all these
will doubtless be evident early in
the session. and will cause the as
sembled Maryland statesmen to
swerve from the strict lines of bus
mess, to which, in theory they ought
to devote themselves for the ninety
days in which they are expected to
serve the people and the public well
fare, with the help of the Lord as
their oath provides.
There will really be no excuse for
any manifestations of partiSanship
or factionaism at the State House
this winter The Legislation needed,
as result of the changed conditions
arising from the war, are purely bus
mess in their character, and should
be considered in that light. The
Democrats have such preponder-
ance in the membership of both
Houses, have the Governor and all
the other important officials that
they ought to have no trouble what
ever in enacting their program. And
the Republicans are in such a hope
less minority. that the policy for
them to follow. if they are wise, will
be to assent to the Governors pro-
gram. and back it up without OPP
position.
Whatever trouble may arise will
no doubt be factional in its character,
for, while in harmony at the present
time, many of the old time sores and
hatreds still exist, and no doubt there
will be spasmodic outbreaks from
time to time. These factional sores
are not confined TO the city. II must
be remembered that for many years
there have been strong factional
alignments in what is known as the
"State crowd" and that these faction
al feelings in the state democracy,
have been quite as strong as those
which have almost disrupted the city
democracy for more than generations.

FIGHT LOOMS IN
ERIN PARLIAMENT
De Valera To Garry Compromise Prin-
ciplc Against EXTREMISTS
Demands, Report.

London, Aug. Developments in
the peace negotiations between Prime
Minister Lloyd George and leaders of
the Irish Republicans are imminent,
It was reported here today. but Gov
eminent leaders refused to lift the
veil of secrecy. There were certain de-
auctions made from the arrival in
Dublin yesterday of Art O'Brien. pres
ident of the Goelic League in London,
bu THEY could not be verified.
One rumor was to the effect that
Mr.. O'Brien was the courier who
would take the Sim Fein reply to Mr..
Lloyd George. while another story
declared that Gamonn de Valera
would himself return to London dur
ing the coming week and that is
James Craig, Premier of Ulster. was
also coming to tbs city.
1t also was reported that members
of the Irish RI publican Parliament.
which has been eyg ected to meet dur
ing the coming week have made
preparations to receive a sudden call
to Dublin and the British Govern
ment was declared to be ready to re-
lease imprisoned members of the Re
publican Parliament Immediately al
ter being appraised of the date up.
on which the Parliament would meet.
1t was admitted in Sim Fem quar-
tiers that there was considerable diff
ference of opinion among members of
the Republican Parliament respecting
the concessions to be demanded from
England. Some members were de-
clared to be adhering resolutely to the
demand for full national indepen-
dence and for this reason predictions
were made that the meeting of the
when held, would prob
ably develop some stiff opposition to
the leaders, who were represented as
being resolved to adopt a compromise
measure.
1t was maintained, however, that
Mr. de Valera and his immediate col
leagues retained control of the situa-
ton and would carry the principle of
against the demands Of
extremists.
