YALE MEN MEET IN
FINAL AT SQUASH.
Auguste j. COrdier and ThOs.
Coward Win Decisively in
Reaching Cup Round.
BY SAMUEL j. BRooKMAN.

Yale Club will have 1t all to itself in
the final Of the scratch tournament Of
the National Squash Tennis Association
on the Crescent Athletic Club courts to-
day. 1t will be Auguste J. Cordier. last
years national champion versus Thomas
Coward, who has been the sensation of
the early season, and there is every in
dication that 1t viii be hard fought,
spectacular tussle.
In coming through to the final round
yesterday Cordier won with surprising
ease over Charles NJ. Bull, Jr.. OF the
Crescents, 15-S, Isl, 15-9, while
Coward scored over Anderson Dana of
the Harvard Club In three games out OF
four, 15-10, Ills, 15--10, 15-13. AL
though Coward had by far the most
strenuous time of II his squash was none
the less convincing. Dana was not the
least bit Foff stroke. He played his
customary skilful. alert, versatile game.
but Cowards terrific hitting. coupled
with getting OF a sensational order,
proved too strong combination for
him.
There were times in Coward's match
when Dana outplayed him rather easily.
During those periods Coward was try
ing to match his skill with that of his
veteran opponent, slackening his pace
and attempting to outguess Dana in the
rallies. He found such tactics unprofit-
able. however. and he had to fall back
on his ''wallop" and all around speed
Once on his toes. following the ball like
hawk and smashing powerfully, Cow
ard managed to move out and stay in
front. Time and again he recovered
INfn hal st.. l. 4
entirely out of position. 1t was this get
ting ability that saved the match for
him.
Dana Fails to Hold Lead.
After Dana by great rally had made
the games l all he went out into lead
Of to / in the third game. scoring 5
points in a single hand, but he was un-
able, to meet successfully a spirited
counter rally on Cowards part and had
to yield the game finally at 15-10. In
the final game 1t was Dana's turn to
come from behind After the Yale man
had gained commanding lead Of to
z Dana by a run of seven aces In one
hand-the best run Of the match, Incl
dentally--took the lead again at I0---9.
IT proved to be short lived advantage,
however. Falling back on speed Coward
quickly caught UP with and passed mis-
rival and won the game and match at
15--12.
In the other contest. which was played
at the same time on an adjacent court,
Cordler easily proved his superiority.
He had more speed, a. better change of
pace and far better control Bull never
seemed to get going at his best. while
Cordier. stroking more confidently with
every hand. scored his points decisively.
The fact that he was able to count 45
points to IS for Bull shows how great
his margin OF victory was. Twenty
seven Of the former champions points
came as the result Of his opponents tell
tales. outs ana misses. Bull drove the
ball against the tin fourteen times when
Cordier was serving and smashed out
nine times.
The cup match this afternoon, which
is to be for the best three out of five
games. Will start at 3: :15 p. NJ. The
point score and analysis follow:

ENTRIES CLOSE IN
BETTER BULLS CONTEST

Forty-two Missouri counties have
entered the competition for the $4,000
offered in the Better Bulls contest.
Entries closed Jan. 81. Pike county
was first to start work on the pro-
ject, with six meetings last week de-
spite bad weather and worse roads.
Definite schedules for February have
been announced by Gentry, Nodaway.
Pettis, Monroe, Grundy and Vernon.
In this campaign the extension work
ers from the University of Missouri
College of Agriculture are receiving
ready assistance not only from the or
ganization that offers the cash prizes
but from farmers and breeders
throughout the state. Breeders of
purebred cattle in some instances are
offering to exchange purebred bull
calves for full grown scrub bulls.
With forty-two counties striving to
replace the maximum number of
scrub bulls with purebreds, this cam
paign for better livestock will doubt
less increase Missouri's wealth many
millions within a decade.

MIXED one COW; bred and fed one sow,
and fattened and killed and cured the
meat from her litter, and had made
full use of what two dozen hens pro-
duced, things would be very different
now.
"If bankers and merchants had not
extended credit for the production of
cotton to any tenant farmer who did
not have at least one COW, one sow
and two dozen hens, and had rental
contract under which the landowner
provided suitable shelter for livestock
and permitted the production of feed
on share-crop basis, there would be
few busted banks and merchants now.
at seems quite clear that if the
cotton acreage is not greatly reduced
the cotton crop in 1921 may not come
any nearer to paying cost of produc-
ton than it did in 1920.
"But if cotton is not to be grown on
two-thirds of the cultivated land, what
shall be done with it?
"If every cotton grower had as
signed to him as part Of his daily job
the milking of cow, feeding of sow,
and tending of flock of chickens, he
and his wife and children wouldn't
have so much time or SO much need
for growing big crop of cotton.
"The cotton acreage would be re-
duced automatically.
"The children would develop better
on the milk, butter and eggs than
they do on chill tonic.
Merchants would work their way
out of the brush and find that cash
business is much more satisfactory
than credit business.
Bankers wouldn't be walking the
floor and tearing their hair.

WE ARE BECOMING SANE AGAIN

81 have worked IL hours a day for
more than SO years." said Webster,
the great American statesman.
"Work, work, work; thai is the
main thing" said Lincoln.
There is more happiness in work than
in anything else. Many of us who
drudge, drudge away year after year
will feel like disputing that statement
offhand. But if they will reflect bit.
and consider just how they would feel
if they had absolutely nothing to do,
there are few of them that will not
say that without work hey would be
lost.
Even the Bolsheviki believe in work,
only they don't understand human ma
ture.
For some years there has been more
or less aversion to work. Not that
humans in the mass don't want TO
work. But our minds have been filled
since 1914 or 1915 with all sorts of
half-crazy thoughts and notions that
have made many of US poor laborers
in the field of endeavor which we have
chosen. We have been crazed by de-
sire for too much pleasure; or the war

has crazed us with the thought that
man is only made for cannon fodder
any way; or we have been led astray
by the greed for money. All these
human lunacies have resulted from
the world conflict.
But now there are signs that people
are going to work-are going to put
pep, enthusiasm and brains in the
things they have to do. That is sair-
ity and sanity seems to be coming to
America first. Brightness will not
last forever in Europe either; the turn
will come sooner or later, and the
sooner the better.

The business men in cities must

they handle is agricultural money,
that they have nothing in the cities to

of supply-the soil, the mines, the
forests, and the fisheries. A jobber is
not producer, but merely a distribu-

The first rule your retail members
should learn is that they must never
buy any more stock of any article
than they can sell within three months.
The next rule is that they must learn
to keep their credit good, and In order
to do that, they must collect the bills
that are due them. Failure to do
those three things, over each of which
the merchant has practically full con-
troll, will account for half Of the retail
failures in the United States.

If every merchant would brush the
cob-webs off his goods, clean his win
dows, paint his store, and be on the
job rendering service to his customers,
and would start up a little local mail
order business of his own by parcel
post, within a radius Of ten or fifteen
miles, sending out little circulars of
special offerings, it would give the big
mail order houses more concern and
more cause for thought than any
