CHRISTMAS - Unto you is born
this day in the city of David a Say
iour. which is Christ the Lord.
If there be no miracle in Heaven
or earth, still is this the most po-
tent benediction ever dropped into
the wistful heart of mankind. The
centuries measure their course, life's
seasons revolve and write their
changing fortunes upon us in lines
of experience, war follows peace and
peace war; and the manger Of hui
mility remains the shrine of our
only hope.
1t may be true that this ever-has-
tening age has enveloped Christmas
with the flavor of self-indulgence,
that we exact too wolfshly all that
is purely material profit, that we ex-
haust ourselves in mad display OF
artificial generosity, that we trans
late a simple and beautiful story in
TO an orgy of the marketplace; this
may or may not be true, and each
can answer for himself. But it is still
true that, in a very instant Of time'
every man may find, undestroyed, the
shrine of recollection hidden in his
heart.
That seed of humanity, placed
within us as the gift of sacrifice at
birth, dies hard-if at all. 1t is, af-
ter all, something real and filled
with meaning; it belongs to the I'M
perishable which, all matter of faith
apart, must believe that right is
better than wrong, kindness better
than cruelty, sentiment better than
cynicism. For there is something
which is Eternal, something which
re-creates, teammates, resurrects'
even though the understanding of 1t
escapes us. We know that beneath
the dead and frozen surface Of the
earth life breathes and waits its
time. What, in the balance with this
profound mystery, is the misanthro-
py of a withered intelligence?
It is, perhaps, pity we ever grow
up. Or do we? What is this mir
acle by which we recapture the fine
imagination of belief other than the
towering anew of childhood's simple
faith? 1t is the radiance Of inno-
cence which covers the earth and
turns mems eyes, in Alaska, in India'
in the distant outposts and at the
home hearths, to that group of shep-
herds plodding their way through
the night to worship the birth of rev.
elation. There is nothing engraved
more indelibly on the heart OF man
kind than the infinite source Of that
Star which is hope, and Of that an
gelic chorus pouring down from the
bursting heavens with the sublime
proclamation: "Glory to God in the
highest, and on earth peace, good
will toward men,"
It needs something more than a
smart sneer to rob the world of that
majestic moment, be it allegory or
circumstance; it needs something
more profound than the piteous ar
rogance of intellectual self-decep-
ton to blot out from the consolation
of humanity the grand symposium of
it's transcending reinsurance. 1t is
sufficient if man finds himself borne,
on the wings of Christmas, from the
ends of the world straight to the
hearth of his better self; if the Star
leads him, remembering, to the
cradle of his good intentions.
"But Mary kept all these things,
and pondered them in her heart" ."
And so may we.

Coach McGugin Sees Hectic
Grid Race Among Strong
Southern Teams.

BIZ United Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. Sept. s.
Dan McGugin, the grand old man"
of Southern Conference football, who
has guided the Vanderbilt Commo-
dores for twenty-five years, predicts
the coming season will be one of the
hardest to dope" of any since he
first donned a uniform.
Alabama, Georgia Tech, Georgia
and Vanderbilt all have excellent
prospects for fine teams this year,
and since all may play the other. 1t
looks too risky to predict anything
other than a great season." the Com
modore chief told the United Press.
>"Our prospects at Vanderbilt are
particularly good. but I'm not overly
confident. since ! realize the task Of
moulding so much new material into
machine offers a tremendous prob
lem.
Then, too, Alabama must be met
so early in the season that there's a
chance that both teams may be set
back considerably by being forced
to reach fine condition so early in
the campaign.
1--WE face o tough schedule with
Alabama, Texas, Georgia, Tennessee,
Georgia Tech and Sewanee. Ten
nesssee had fine team last year and
will be one of our most dangerous
foes this year. Sewanee always is
real foe. The others are ALL strong
machines and only a great football
team will be able to keep a clean
record this year."
Coach McGugin came to Wander
bilt in the fall OF 1904 from Mich
igan, where he had served under
Fielding II. Yost, and had made a
name as one of the greatest guards
of the times. outside OF being the
dean and ranking with the great
est of all southern coaches. the Van
derbilt mentor is one of the South's
most noted attorneys.

Richard Submits Plans for
Handling of Crowd at
Dempsey Fight.

BIZ United Press
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. S.-Plans
for the accommodation Of 100000
spectators for the Dempsey.Tunney
championship battle here Sept. %
have been officially submitted to Po-
lice Director Elliott, by Tex Richard.
The seating plan of the Sesqui-
centennial Stadium, as submitted by
the promoter, calls for placing of
approximately $4,000 seats in the
stadium field, amout $4,000 of which
will be on the ground level with the
balance to the rear slightly elevated.
Richard, who called upon the po-
lice head in company with Frank
Weiner, chairman of the Pennsyl-
vania State Boxing Commission, de-
clared that, although the crowd for
the fight would largely exceed that
at the Dempsey Carpenter battle,
the gate receipts would be smaller.
"At the Jersey City fight" Rick
ard said, "ringside tickets sold as
high as $50, whereas at the coming
battle the top price is $3.50. I
do not think the gate here will ex-
coed $1,500,000. The gate at the
Jersey City fight was $1,62S,0O0."
Arrangements for the prelimina-
rles are now occupying Richards
attention. Pairing of the boxers is
now under consideration, and though
no decisions have definitely been
Person, Swedish champ, is practi-
cally certain of a place on the card.
Others believed possibilities are

TUNNEY RESTS

BIZ CntLcu PfeSS
STROUDSBURG, Pa, Sept. g.
Out in the woods, in quiet cottage
far from the stares of the fight fans,
Gene Tunney slept late today, with
nothing to look forward to but a
good long day of rest.
Thursday he will be back in the
ring again, and perhaps his sore lip
which has troubled the challenger
considerably, will be healed enough
to withstand his sparring partners
blows.
Tunney is now giving much time
to developing his right. He was
criticised Tuesday for telegraph
ing" his blows. Tunneys aides
know of that tendency, and are
ceaselessly working to overcome it.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Sept. s.
Unless Jack Dempsey decides that
he is fairly aching for ring combat,
the heavyweight champion Of the
world was to continue his vacation
from active training today and per-
haps take the fishing trip which was
forsaken Tuesday because of the
weather.
He bought a quantity of fishing
tackle and Tuesday night expressed
the wish to catch something else
besides an occasional blow from a
