AN d HidtteT VI ldCt, the season
was a famine 50 far as the devel-
opment of truly great players in
any position was concerned. The
average was reasonably high, but
individual performances Of lasting
memory were SO few as to be al
most negligible.
Perhaps Kipke, Of Michigan,
and Cashier, Of NOtre Dame, rep
resented the nearest approach to
backfield greatness, but neither
had quite the finesse and punch
that Killinger was able TO muster
~ late as twelve months ago,
while most certainly they hardly
figure in the same class with i'm
mOrtals Of the type Of Jim Thorpe,
Ned Mahan and the late George
Gipp.

to take issue with this writer with

BILE opinion. Eddie is nothing of the
kind.
A big, fast man, true enough,
with a splendid straight arm and
remarkable facility for changing
direction at top speed. Yet Kaw is
not flawless by any means. He
can be and has been stopped by
good ends, for he is only effective
when he Ia able to get loose be-
yond the line of scrimmage.
Many of the leading backs played
on minor teams and hence never
came into the prominence their
work deserved. There were. for
example. Beck, of Vermont; Simen-
dinger. Of HOLY Cross, and Kop-
isch. Of Columbia.
They would have been headline

prominence were Covington and

of Cornell: Drummer, Of Lafayette;
Wilson, of Penn State; Lee Parkin.

Dobie has changed conditions en-.
tirely at Ithaca. He has developed
one of the greatest scoring machines
in the country at the Cornell seat
of learning. To date they lead all
other Eastern rivals by safe mar
gin. Dartmouth, Columbia and
Colgate have been defeated by de-
cisive scores.
In Colgate the up-staters met a
ffrst-class team. This the Maroon
outfit proved in Archbold Stadium
last Saturday, when they gave
Syracuse a scare.
The latter had a tie score to its
credit over Penn State and vic.

team proved one thing-that so far

That Dobie's charges were able

of the strength of their outfit.

In response to charges made by
people in Virginia and other states
that the Commission was violating
the law by permitting political con-
siderations to govern its eXamina-
tons the Senate several months ago
adopted a resolution appointing
special committee of five members
of the Senate Civil Service Commit
tee to investigate the charges. The
committee invited statements and
communications from every direc-
ton relating to the proceedings of
the Civil Service Commission with
view to gathering all the evidence
possible and calling upon the Com
mission for a report on the charges.
At the first hearing of the commit
tee attention was directed to post
master appointments at several
places with the suggestion, if not the
direct charge, that undue influence
had been brought to bear to secure
the recommendation for appoint
ment, or appointments of particular
candidate, or a rerating for the ben
eft of particular candidate; or
that the nominee or appolntee was
disqualified by reason of immoral
conduct, incompetency or non-resid-
ence.
