Most of the magnates, the man

Before leaving for New York,

YALE CAPTAIN WINS
MORE HONORS,

After all, craftsmanship is
the thing. Referee Bob Max
we'll, in charge of the Yale
Harvard game, tells this very
interesting story:
Early in the first period,
Clark, the Harvard center, was
badly cut over one eye. The
Harvard trainer was working
hard to patch up the injury
within the given two minutes,
so as to avoid the penalty pre-
scribed by the rules.
Captain Aldrich OF Yale,
realizing it would take more
than two minutes to properly
attend to the injury, said TO
me:
Please tell the Harvard
trainer to take as much time
as is needed. Yale will not &C
cept the penalty

"Beloit couldn't gain through the
while Rock Island found trouble
with the entire BeIoit forward wall.
The one Rock Island play that
netted consistent gains was a mod
ification of the running forward

lege this year. The play was mask
ed more than Coach Tommy Mills
required of his college men, and
Novak got away to repeated gains
on q short pass from Councilman.
Three excellent officials-one of
them regular Big Ten arbiter-
kept the play clean, and there was
not the slightest trouble any of the

Frisch is one of the fastest men
in the game. He has a wonderful
throwing arm. However, he is far
from a finished fielder. He seldom
handles a ground ball cleanly. He
knocks them down, sometimes kicks
them around. but his great speed
and wonderful arm always save
him.

The Retirement Annuities.

THE Association Of Retired Federal Employees
i asks Congress to amend the retirement act to
increase the annuities payable to all employees af-
fected by the act Senator Townsend is sponsor
for the measure, which is guarantee that it has
merit. As fact, it is largely problem of actuar
les. Even more it is one of raw justice.
The association claims that with the amount
in the Treasury and soon to be placed there on
account of the retirement fund, with the percentage
regularly deducted from the salaries of all en-
ployes, added appropriation will be required from
Congress. If this is true, there would seem to be
possible objection to the bill. Certainly the
government does not wish to accumulate in the
Treasury surplus annuities fund from the pay of
its employees, above what is necessary to pay them
the present limits of compensation.
Moreover, when after thirty years of service, at
pay which has provided but bare living, one
get over $40 year, the increase asked takes
on hue of justice. This amount, and it may be as
little as $500 year, would not than pay
house in any city, in neighborhood suitable to
the aged employees. In Washington it would hardly
do this.
In no case is it enough for independent sup
port. Very few of the older employees can obtain
other positions. Fewer still can continue any nde-
pendent vocation. 1t has not been possible for
many to save from the very meager salaries this
government has always paid and still pays. Maybe
no one should have accepted government positions
which have offered so little inducement financially.
But many have done so and if Uncle Sam will not
pay adequately, he ought to be generous with the
faithful he has displaced. Especially can he afford
this if as the association claims it will in fact cost
him nothing.
