GIVE-BUT GIVE ENOUGH

NINE days remain of the Today

Scores of willing workers have given
increasingly of their time to make
the campaign success.
A total of 1884, 900 is needed to
satisfy the needs of the many char
liable organizations that derive their
means of existence from this fund.

No greater object lesson can be
offered than the example of Nathan
Eckstein, leader of the campaign.
Mr. EcksteiG Is one of Seattle's big
business men, and as such is kept
close to his desk with his own bust
ness affairs, But Mr. Eckstein CON
siders the welfare of the needy and
unfortunate important enough for
him to give up his business for 10
days of strenuous effort, and to dig
deeply into his own pocket in addi-
ton.
Not only in the Community Chest
drive, but in all other public welfare
enterprises, such as the Eastern
Washington seed wheat problem,
Mr. Eckstein is found in the fore.
If a man like Nathan Eckstein can

Big Eastern Teams
Will Not Engage
In Post Season Games

New York, Nov. 17-(By the Asso-
ciated Press)-The eastern sector OF
the gridiron battlefront has clinched
the bulk of international laurels for
1925. A few games remain between
opponents of rival areas. but the
east, with a total of 25 victories 50
far over middle western and south
ern elevens. has too big lead to be
overcome by any remaining develop
ments. The middle west has ten
triumphs to it's credit and the south
five.
The middle west held the east
even. however, in the six games
where big ten teams came into
conflict with eastern opponents.
Dartmouth's victory over Chicago,
coupled with those of Syracuse over
Indiana and Penn over Chicago, to
offset Ohio States triumph over
Columbia, plus the win scored by
Michigan and Illinois over Navy and
Penn
1t seems unlikely now that the far
west will have anything on its an
nual post-season program around
the first of the year to match the i'm
portance of the Stanford Notre
Dame or California Pennsylvania en-
counters there a year ago. Among
the more prominent eastern and mid
die western teams, Dartmouth, Illi-
nois and Pennsylvania all have indi-
Gated they will not consider post

Yale Head Coach
Predicted Defeat
Yale by Princeton

New York, Nov. 17-(AP)-oVer-
confidence, inspired by newspaper
stories Of Eli prowess. was partially
responsible for the defeat of Yale by
Princeton, in the opinion of Louis E.
Stoddard, chairman Of the Yale foot
ball committee and president of the
U. S. Polo Association
In explanation of this, Mr.. Stod-
dard said he was told before the
game last Saturday by Tad Jones.
Yale head coach, that the team was
"soing to lose because it was in
the wrong mental state" He further
quoted Jones as saying that the
players read in the papers every day
they were two to one faverites, and
they believed it."
Enlarging on his idea, Mr.. Stoddard
declared his belief that 1.-THE press
stresses personalities at the expense
of team play
"It sickens me-" he said, ito read
the biographies of Red Grange print
ed in the newspapers. 1t doesn't
matter that l am made sick; what
does matter is the effect of this glori-
fieation of Red Grange"
