LLoYD's FEAT GIVES
INGRAM EVEN BREAK

ANNAPOLIS, October 27.-Because
Of his close connection with both In
cidents, Coach Bill Ingram Of the
Naval Academy foot ball team realiz.
ed more than any one else the close
parallel between Lloyd's 99-yard run,
which won the game for the Navy
against Colgate Saturday. and Erick-
sons dash Of the, same distance, by
| which the Navy team Of 1918 was
defeated by the eleven of the Great
Lakes Naval Training Station.
Ingram not only played in the
earlier game. but carried the ball on
the play in which a tumble occurred.
giving Erickson, a former Washing
ton and Jefferson player, his chance
to make his run for a touchdown, so
that a game in which the Midshipmen
had distinct advantage was won by
their opponents by the score OF to s..
The plays took place at the same
end of the field and at points separat-
ed by only a few yards. Both Ertck-
son and Lloyd got the ball about q
yard from their own goal line, so that
the distance of their runs, among the
longest recorded in American foot
ball. was the same.
Speaking Of the earlier incident this
week, Ingram says that there was no
doubt that he carried the ball across
the line, so that touchdown should
have been scored. but that the ball
was kicked from his arms after he
was on the ground. However, the
referee allowed the play.
The game was important, as 1t was
conceded that the opposing teams
were the best in the country that
year, foot ball being at rather low
ebb on account of the World War.
1t was the only game which the
Academy team, coached by Dobie,
lost that season.
The earlier game, was marked by
an incident still more notable, the
tackling of Erickson by Saunders,
a Navy substitute, who ran from the
sidelines. Erickson was ordered by the
referee to carry the ball behind the
goalline.
Saunders. who acted impulsively,
was punished by being barred from
all competitive athletics while 9 mid

was taken i'll with tuberculosis, Of

But when it comes 20 the truly spec

Michigan played a remarkable game
against the Navy. The boys seemed to
rise to undreamed heights and played
with fervor almost past understand

a demon that day and everything in
our repertoire seemed to go just right
But 1t was left to William Flora, one
of the Michigan ends, to rise to the
highest emotional pitch of his life and
pull play which stands alone.
With Michigan playing great ball
and the stands in a frenzy of excite

In the latter part of the game Michi-

called for by the Annapolis quarter.
The ball was perfectly passed and the
punter started to make the kick.
Suddenly a figure catapulted past
the punter's defense and just as the
ball was about to hit the punter's toe,.
that figure grabbed the leather sphere
off the shoe. sNirted to the right and
ran down the field for a touchdown.
The figure was William Flora, and the

But when partisan feelings do not

Neither Robert Zuppke nor the Uni

the elbow pads used by the Univer-

Out West, Zuppke was reported to
be filling the air with his plants. but
the Illinois athletic authorities have
quieted the clamor by sending wire
to the Penn officials assuring them
that no objection will be made to the

1t is not unlikely that the imagi-

just a little ballyhoo in the interest
of a bumper crowd at the big inter-

wonder what is the matter. Party re-
sponsibility has given away to politi-
cal anarchy and personal bossism and
nobody is any better off except the
demagogues who rule through the mi
nority primary. AS the Cincinnati
Enquirer well puts it:
SIN the broad view, the Republican
and Democratic National Committees
are impotent today. The party dis
cipline men once feared and respected
isrno more. The primary has radi-
cally modified political conditions. The
primary system effectively and effec-
tually undermined party authority in
the United States. With its coming,
the big men in the national political
life disappeared. Acclaimed as a
democratic method of fairness and
efficiency it, in reality, operates as a
force for the destruction of the two
party system in America. If this is
what the people of the United States
desire, they have departed from the
theories of Jefferson and Lincoln"

SAFE FOR DEMOCRACY?

During the World War we were
told that the prime purpose of that
conflict was to make the world safe
for democracy Although German au-
tocracy was completely defeated, the
results have not been just what was
anticipated. There are a few less
monarchs in Europe than formerly, it
is true, but there has been no great
surging wave of democracy. Quite the
reverse.
The biggest country in Europe in
territory and population is Russia.
Russia is not safe for democracy. 1t
is now in the grip Of one of the COM
pletest autocracies the world has ever
known. There is a dictator in Italy
who rules with an iron hand; another
in Portugal, another in Greece and
still another in Poland. There are
times when it seems that even France
will need dictator to straighten out
its tangled affairs, and nobody yet
knows how much democracy there will
eventually be in the new German gov
ernment.
Just now the trend in Europe seems
to be away from republics and con-
stitutional monarchies and toward
relationships. Mussolini is the man
of the hour and he hearkens back al
ternately to Julius Caesar and Ma
poleon Bonaparte. The World War
accomplished great many things,
but it did not make the world safe for
democracy.
The Republican., 1926-07-01
PRIMARIES AND BOSSISM

One of the arguments used by So
called reformers in putting over the
primary election system was that it
would do away with the party bosses.
Yet subsequent elections, under the
primary, have shown that the pri-
mary itself is especially adapted to
boss politics. The selecting of can
didates by primaries is the peoples
business, and the old saying still
holds true to the effect that what is
everybody's business is no ones busi-
ness.
The result is that the boss with
his machine well oiled is better able
to function than ever before. In the
old days the boss was party boss,
amenable to party discipline, and the
convention, whether boss-contfolled
or not, usually selected list of can
didates which would appeal to the
people, because the first purpose was
to win the election and this could only
be done with strong ticket.
The bosses under the primary, how
ever, are not partisan, but personal
bosses, and they rule quite as ruth
lessly as any boss of the old days.
And in.addition to acting as the big
chief, the boss is often a demagogue
as well, for the simple reason that it
is the demagogue who usually wins in
the primary. Then the voters them
selves get disgusted with the way
things are run, and as a result the
vote falls off year after year and we
