Until the present season two of the most prominent officials in collegiate football during recent, years were Tom Thorp and 'Tiny" Maxwell. Both of generous girth. they were conspicuous at once for their size and their ability to make decisions accurately and well,
 Maxwell gained the wider reputa- tion, but he once told the writer that without Thorpe's cooperation he doubted whether he ever would have gotten away with it so well. Thorp is coaching tn New York University team this season, but we have an idea that he will be back.

GLANDS CANNOT PROLONC LIFE,
 SAYS DOCTOR

LONDON, Nov. 1.-The cycle of existence cannot be modified, not even by the use Of monkey glands. z pr. John Matheson, distinguished English physician, is out to disprove the monkey-gland theory and he IS authority for the statement that medical science cannot abolish, or even greatly modify, the cycle of ex- istence, growth, maturity and decay.
 Modern specifics, such as monkey glands, radio crystals and the like, may encourage and cheer but they do not affect longevity, according to the theories of pr. Matheson.
 Life without disease isn't even possible, the doctor believes
 Physical decay. which of course is responsible for senility, can be arrested, Dr. Matheson believes, but not by the use of any nostrums' Drugs cannot prevent decay, he states.
 Longevity. the doctor thinks. may be attained by raising the power of resistance of the bodily tissues to the attacks of germs and their poinsons.
 "Germs cannot be extirpated, but we may make 1t more difficult for them to grow and multiply" Dr.. Matheson said. The greatest success in preventative medicine Is found in simple means, he believes. Personal hygiene, fresh air and sunshine give the body ample fertilization against germs, and if coupled with wholesome food these should lead to longevity, the doctor believes.
 The statement of Dr. Matheson that sunshine is an aid to the fight against germs has led to consider able worry on the part of some Eng fish people, who are predicting that this will be the most unhealthy win ter Great Britain has ever seen. This is all due to the rainy summer which has prevailed all over the British Isles. The average sunshine during the summer was less than two hours day. People were un- able to get their accustomed exer- else because of heavy rains. Vaca- tions were ruined and the popula- tion is nerve worn. It is freely pre- dicted in medical circles that the

 Some little capital has been made of the point that the Yankee Colonels would have displayed rank ingratitude had they failed to reengage Miller Huggins after he had won American League pennants in consecutive years That is drivel, no more, nor less.
 The Yankee Colonels would have displayed a lack of horse sense had they turned Huggins adrift for no other reason than the fact that ne is a good little baseball man. Neither gratitude nor ingratitude enters into the matter at all.
 If anything, Higgins should ne grateful to the Yankee owners. They went out into the open market and bought him two pennant-winniDg ball clubs. Under similar circumstances a half dozen big league managers could have delivered.
 The best bit of advice the Yankees ever received from anyone, Higgins included, was given, gratis, when Whitey Witt, Bob Meusel and few others called to say goodbye to Til Huston after the world series.
 ''Boys," quoth the good Til, I've just been looking over picture of the 1921 Yankees. Ten players in that group are missing this year. With our new park, seating close to SO,0O0, available for g world series, it might be worth $10.0O0 or more to be 8 mem Der of pennant-winning Yankee team next year. Think 1t over-"

A CHANCE OF SCENE

Most doctors are fond of ordering their
wealthy patients to take a change of scene, and
spend the winter in Florida or California or else
in the Laurcntan mountains in Canada 1t is
a method Of resting mind and body that usually
works wonders. and if the pocketboolx can
stand it. nothing's arniss.
For the majority such change of scene is
hardly possible. If we get to the state fair once
a year we consider ourselves lucky And when
we do go there the hurry and hustle. the thou

STICK TO YOUR LAST

Asked whether he finds that Soviet Rus
STA is on the way to economic and industrial
normalization," Feodor Chaliapin, Russian bas-
50, made a deprecatory gesture and said: "Of
that 7 know nothing. sing"
He then gave his faith in Russian recovery
On broad, artistic lines, carefully warning his
hearer that his opinion did not amount to any
thing, and concluding with the remark that each
man should stick to his business: Politics for
the politicians, music for the musicians and so
forth.
1t is always refreshing to discover a man
who confesses he knows nothing much about
Russia; it is an especial charm when the admis-
sion comes from Russian; for there is wide
superstition that every Russian is passionately
and morbidly attached to one form or another
Of the rival governmental ideas in his unhappy
land.
With that grand nonchalance found only in
artistic minds, he, Chaliapin, says Russia is
young intimating that wild oats must be sown,
that in time the wild young country will settle
down and give the world her message
Not so frivolous as it sounds, when you
examine 1t. From the point of view of civiliza-
ton Russia is a painfully backward child but
still child, who has been rather sadly abused
by nurses and guardians, to say nothing OF
policemen and soldiers and politicians. Yet
Chaliapin is right also in his position that sing
er, who knows he possesses no political sense
should keep aloof from the business of govern
ment. just as statesman. with no car for music
most certainly should not sing.
