The United States, as a nation. can
not afford to go through another set
of Olympic games and have made the
mistakes that We're charged against
the Olympic committee in handling
the entries and arrangements for the
games in Belgium last year. While
the government and the country as a
whole really had little TO do with the
entries for the last Olympics. and un-
der the present arrangement viii
have little to do with the next games.
nevertheless whatever is the result
rebounds either to the credit or dis
credit of the nation in the eyes of for
eigners. Therefore. it seems time that
the government, directly or indirect
ly. lend its aid to the end that when
the next Olympic meet is held the
government will have sufficient to do
with the affairs of the organization
which controls the United states en-
tries and manages the team which
wears the Red. White and Blue to
make sure that nothing tranSpires eX-
cept that which will reflect credit on
this country and all 1t stands for.
Time to Take Hand.
1t seems to the writer that the par
ticipation of this country in the
Olympic games. where its representa-
tives come into direct competition
with the representatives of the other
nations is sufficient reason for some
action by the federal Congress to ap-
propriate a certain amount of money
for use in that way. and also create
under the federal law permanent
: organization to diSburse the fund and
TO raise other funds and generally
oversee the management of the affairs
pertaining to the participation OF the
United States in the annual world ath-
letic championships. In event of some
such action as this there is not the
slightest doubt that every amateur
sports body would throw its lot with
that kind of an organization and
thereby develop just such great
athletic federation as recently has
been proposed by the Secretary of
War.
1t Is rather remarkable that in all
the gatherings recently held here by
athletic bodies. not word was said
against foot ball as game. And less
than usual was brought out about
some of its so-called evils. l. was
generally agreed, even by those who
preached" against things connected
had no place in legitimate college
athletics, that foot ball is serving a
fine end in nearly all colleges, and
besides, that it is means to an
end, which also is fulfilling an excel
lent role in the general run of sports.
in that it furnishes the finances to
keep going many minor games.
Hugh Be8dek. Penn State coach. in
an address he made at the meeting
Of the National Collegiate Athletic
Association, made the statement that
the eastern eleven which goes west
to meet q far western team must he
at least two touchdowns better in
order to win. so much does the long

ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT IS PROPOSED AT HALEYVIllE

HALEYvILLE, Ala, Dec. It. Especial. .)-Haleyville has plans un- der way to establish modern muni- cipaI electric light and water plant. The city council held a meeting Tuesday night in the court house which was turned into mass meet ing in favor of the project It is the plan to install two 100 horse power engines and two 65 kilowatt generators. along with a new engine building.
 The mayor announced that it was the intention of the council to put up the new machinery and appointed a committee of citizens to investigate as to the best method of purchasing the plant By some it was proposed to float 10-yeer bonds for the erec- tion of the plant others thought 1t best to buy on a lease contract with the manufacturing company.
 At present the city has only night lighting service, whereas with the new plant it will afford a 24-hour current at a much reduced cost. The industries here are suffering at pres ent for the lack of the day current and are very anxious to see the 24-hour service installed. It Is under stood that certain interests are anx- ious to take the project over in case the municipality does not.
