SURE, IT'S THE CLIMATE,

There is no getting away from the influence of To-
cal conditions in accounting for things that exist or
happen. For instance in Medicine Hat it is the low
temperature, in st. Louis it is the high temperature,
in Milwaukee it used to be-you known Casper its
the altitude, in Cheyenne the wind, in Boston the
beans and SO on around. Out in California it is the
climate, so everybody will tell you, but even so, the
Los Angeles Times didn't have to tell us with flowers
that it is like this:
The mountains are wearing llacs in their bonnets
and boutonnieres of ~saxifrage.
"Full-skirted elders have donned the newest thing
in green; the juniors of the species, sweet girl grad
yates, I'm sure, from the School of Whispering Winds,
preen vainly at the mirrored pools, murmuring gay
flattery, as is their prototypes wont.
"A gloriously stately yucca is clad in ~spotless
bribery IN honor of her n~uptials with a stern, paternaI-
looking rock, Blue Bells on every hillside ring out fe-
i~cItations. / wonder which of all the birds will ad-
minister the vows? A carpet woven of sun and shade
may be spread upon the altar. A turquoise, magic
and Of priceless worth, may be the wedding gift"
After assimilating the foregoing it is less difficult
to understand how, when a willow rocking chair was
left out on a California lawn during the spring rains
sprouted at every joint and grew a luxuriant summer
foliage much to the delight of the owner who basked
in its shady depths during the heated hours of the
day for the entire season; and in the fall pruned Il
and brought it into the sun parlor for winter service

BETTER E AT 1T.

1t is about time we were hearing from Washing
TON tnat several dozen or more commissions for va.
rlous Things had been abolished. We understood that
we were to get away from government by commits
SION and that regular officials would exercise all the
functions OF the departments, transact all the bust
data as was required, and have done with government
ana societies. Maybe the Harding administration and
the congress have not had time to get hold of the
matter on account Of the press of other business, but
the country has the impression that some such thing
was to be done.
Also We believe there was considerable said about
cutting the washington payroll. 1t has been pruned
some but surely nothing like what was promised. Il
would pc very embarrassing if things like these were
overlooked. The Republican party surely does NOT

A CLEAN OF SANITY.

'Thc first hopeful word that has come out of Rus.
STA for a long time" in the view of the Springfield
Republican, sis passed along by The Associated Press
correspondent at Riga. Direct verification by Amer
leans is for the present impossible because of ex-
clusion of Americans from Russian territory, but
Riga is as good a place as any for seeing people who
have lately been in Russia; these reports, moreover,
find a certain confederation in the statement recently
made by Captain Cooper, the American aviator, who
escaped from captivity in Russia.
There seems at present little expectation of an
early fall OF the Soviet government, which only a
month ago, was supposed TO be threatened by a gem
eral revolt. That disaffection was widespread is GER
tain; that much of it was superficial is indicated by
reports that the people have been placated by the
new reforms, including the restoration of freedom of
trade; amnesty has been granted to all offenders
against the laws ~forbidding private trade, and eco
nomically Russia is said to be beginning once more
to function.
This is hopeful, because such a process once
started may go far, and the concessions made by the
Communists may compel other concessions. Tint
Lenine has altered his opinions by an iota is i'm
probable, but he finds the social and economic forces
of society too strong to resist. To repeat extreme
measures once tried and abandoned is difficult and
probably impossible; as economic development goes
on the tendency is likely to be in the other direction
and to force the abandonment of one crank notion
after another"

LAFAY YET7E EXPECTS
VICTORY OVER PENN
Coach Sutherland Predicts Win for Maroon in Satur.
days Came-Captan Lehecha May Be Able to
York against Red and Blue

EastOn, Pa. Nov. 3.-Comparntive
scores mean nothing TO this years pow
erful Lafayette College football team.
This may seem strange, yet the fact
remains that DIR. "Jock" Sutherlands
proteges refuse to judge an opponent by
its scores in previous games.
BY employing comparative scores,
Lafayette should triumph over the Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania this Saturday
on Franklin Field by $40, or there
abouts. Lafayette defeated the Univer-
sity Of Pittsburgh by one touchdown,
while last Saturday Pittsburgh won
from Old Penn by the count Of $50.
But the result Of the Pennsylvania :
Pittsburgh game has not affected the
feeling Of the local club to Coach
Heisman's bunch. Lafayette will enter
! this Saturdays game forgetful of the
score of the Penn Pitt contest, but
determined to win the game by any
score Lafayette this season has re-
fused to permit the opposing team tc
be rated by the comparative score
| method.
No Overconfldence
The team begins each game with the
knowledge that the other team must be
considered just as good until the play
of the game determines otherwise. This
has prevented the players on the squad
from becoming overconfident, caused the
men to work just as hard in the be-
ginning as in the second half, and Il
has worked to advantage In the daily
practices.
Still Lafayette does not under
rate its own strength. The players, NIL
veterans of many hard game, realize
their true strength, know the ability
of the other men on the eleven, and
go about their work with a determine =
tion and confidence that speaks well for
the success of the team.
This will be true of the game with
Pennsylvania. The breaks at the start
Of the game may go against Lafayette,
but the players will take this as such,
dig in few inches more, and wait for
the opportunity to show their mettle and
strength.
Lafayette is making great prepara
tions for the game this Saturday. The
men have been reporting faithfully for
daily workouts, the bruises and bumps
have been gone over by Trainer Bud
Moore, and the plays perfected. The
students are doing their bit by staying
away from March Field, the band has
been blaring away each and every aft
ernoon, while others have been taking
long walks at nights in preparation for
the hike to Philadelphia.
Sutherland Expects Win
Even Coach Sutherland has under
gone change. Usually he says that
Lafayette will do her best, and that
the other eleven will cause his team to
play its best to win. This year, how
ever, he broke his rule by making a
prediction before the Pitt game-that
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1921-11-03

Lafayette would win. Now he comes
forward with the declaration that La
fayette will defeat Pennsylvania. In
fact, Coach Sutherland Is not keeping
his opinion secret and doesn't care
who knows It.
Lafayette will defeat Penn" said
Coach Sutherland today while watching
the Lafayette team take it's daily work.
out on March Field. Ever since the
Pittsburgh game the team has been
looking forward to the Penn contest.
Tho team wants to win, and am sure
it will.
Lafayette learned a great deal from
the Penn Pittsburgh game last week.
In fact, believe Lafayette learned. or
rather benefited, more than Pennsyl-
vania. Penn learned much from the
Pitt veterans, but we also found out a
great deal about the Penn team. We
saw their style Of play and know what
to do.
But we expect hard battle. This
game means great deal to Penn. An
other defeat will make the season q
most disastrous one, while a victory
over Lafayette will even up the Pitts
burgh reverse. The Penn players and
coaches realize this and will do their
best to down us.
The players have the same spirit that
marked the practices the week previous
to the Pittsburgh contest. They are not
over confident. Instead, they have the
attitude that big battle confronts
them, but that they will overcome the
odds.
Schwab Predicts Victory
Lafayette is not over confident -
said Frank Dutch" Schwab, the acting
captain of the Lafayette team. 1--WE
know what to expect from Penn, yet !
believe | express the opinion of the team
when l say that we will win. BY how
much ] wouldn't like to say; but we
will win."
Captain Joe Lehecka, the sterling
halfback who has been out Of the game
since the day of the Pittsburgh contest,
expressed the same opinion as Schwab.
Comparative scores" said Captain
Joe, don't count with us. q All we
know is that we will win Saturday,
Lehecka hopes to get into the game on
Franklin Field.
Coach Sutherland doesn't intend tc
open his formations this week unless Il
is necessary. Thus far Lafayette has
played only straight football-the kind
that hits the opposing line from tackle
to tackle. The double and triple passes
have been the furthest Lafayette has
departed from the straight and sure
path.
1--WE will continue to play straight
football" said Coach Sutherland, "un-
less 1t becomes necessary to show ouI
hand. Then if forced to we will omen
up to score two touchdowns. However
we won't do so unless Pennsylvania
springs a surprise"
