COLUMBIA EASY
 WINNER IN RACE
Fishing Schooner Now Seeks
 New Fields to Conquer

Gloustar. Mass. Oct. B (P - Champion of this ports fishing
 fleet by virtue of two straight vic
 tories over the schooner Henry Ford, the speedy Columbia awaited today an answer to the challenge that may send her into competi-
 ton against the Canadian winner
 in the fishing fleet races off Hali-
 fax next Saturday.
 Captain Ben Pine. who steered
 the Columbia to victory yesterday, sang his swan song as racing
 skipper when he brought his schooner into port, but generously named Captain Clayton Morrissey
 of the Ford as his successor should the Columbia enter the interna- 1 tional contest.
 Cap'n Ben sent the Columbia's challenge 10 Halifax newspapers
 last night and. if accepted. will mean the race will be held off this !. port the week of October p. The i international race has not been contested since 1923.
 Yesterdays victory or the Column [ hia over the Ford was even more decisive than on the previous day when Pines boat had nosed it's way home by a bare minute and four seconds. The Columbia led
 yesterday by nearly five full min utes
 It was battle Of shippers and Ben Pines astuteness had won the
 game and settled an argument that long had divided Gloucester into friendly but rival camps. | All the shipping in the harbor
 joined in noisy welcome to the ! winner and no sooner had the con- i tending rchooners been docked but Pine and Morrissey rushed to shake hands and exchange felicitations.
 A band met the racing crews at
 the wharf and victor and van ! quished marched behind 1t while 1 thousands cheered the way along 1 the main street.
 Victory in the two day. 40 mile i test brought to Cap'n Ben cash 1 prize of s1,75o. a silver cup pre-
 sentod by George F. Fuller Of i Worcester and leg on a second cup presented by former Mayor
 Frank F. Davis Of Gloucester. The Henry Ford received second money
 of s1,35o.
 Although the series just ended
 was the first decisive test Of the
 relative merits of the Ford and the ] Columbia it was not the first time
 they had met. The Columbia de-
 feated the Ford in the 1923 elimi- { nation for tho international series but at that time the Ford was newly in from the fishing banks and had not taken time to condi- ton. In the same year the Columbia
 competed in the uncompleted se- l rios off Halifax.
 i Both Pine and Morrissey are the | principal owners of their boats

CHICAGO HOPEFUL IF WINNING GAME
Ohio State Also Prepares for
 Eastern Invasion

Chicago, Oct. Is Pt-"Old man" Stagg, football psychologist extraor- dinary gave himself today to the task Of making green Chicago team believe 1t nas a better chance against Pennsylvania next Saturday than the -"n-pound line and com parable backHelI shut out last year Dy the QuaEers.

It appeared today that with the pos sIbI" exception ol one linemau the entire, II somewhat battered, Maroon squad would cnrrain tomorrow for Philadelphia for fhe sixth renewal of a series which began in 1893.

 Ohio State, likewise mastering for an eastern invasion, had every r.gu- lar back in uu.orm and working on in" air game to ba used against Co., nmbil at New York. where the Buckeyes hope to repeat the tri- umph over the eastern team chalked up at Columbus q year ago.
 Barred gates were in favor among th" other Western Conference squads, guarding their football for the first games in the Big Ten title race. Iowa worked in secret for Illinois in ihc IIlini--a homo coming, and 1ost labored in secret with the Michigan team which meets a fire baptized Minnesota squad in the game which shares a major interest with the loWa-lllinois clash.

 The army party will include 1,2O0 cadets. officers and their families and they will come to the game this year by train because of the com- plete failure of the attempt 10 make the trip satisfactorily by motor bus last fall The effort gave the project of military maneuvers by motor vehicle a decided setback and the cadets have reverted to the plan of travelling by train.

1 A,i-AmCrlcd IuilhaCE, 1925 ! Copyright, 1926, NI1A Service, 1nc,) ! The offense in football carries the greater thrill.
 ! To the ball carrier goes mos. Of the praise. while the players. who by their interference make possjb," some long run, are generally over looked.
 : The football enthusiast who has never played the game gives but little thought to anyone other than the player carrying the ball. i Only the spectator wEo has taken part in the game. either in high school or college, really appreciates the important part of interference in the successful execution Of a play ] In a previous article. I discussed various phases of a backGcll man on orfcnsc. I will now briefly discuss the duties of the defensive back.
 Keep your eye on the ball is one of the chief fundamentals of most sports. and certainly football is no exception in this respect. Play the ball, not the men, is my way of emphasizing tn" kecp-your- eye -the-baI theory as it pertains to football.
 No defensive back can offer worth while assistance to his line unless he keeps his eye on the ball and is 1 familiar with the attempt of the op- position to advance it. Another very necessary thing is perfect q good stance. Unless ;hn stance is firm. it is an easy matter to put defensive hacl, out Of th" play because he usually is off balance.
 Legitimate Use Of the hands also is 8 most important feature of a defensive backs play. The bands are a very powerful agent in stop ping the thras's oF 1lte opposition. I like to play close to thc line on defense, because 1t prevents the guards and ends from clipping. While such action is contrary to the rules. if often is done in such q way that f escapes the attention of the officials.
 A careful study Of the opposition's methods during the first period of play often is invaluable to a defen- sivc back in the later stages of the game.
 In discussing the methods of an offensive back l revealed how many of them often tipped off their in- tont--in other words, made il plain as 10 who was to carry the ball. Having a fairly good idea of who | is 10 carry the ball and some knowl- i edge of the rival teams methods as Glcauod from tho information sup piled by the scouts, player is moro 1 than ready to do his bit toward stopping the advance.
 When you think you know the play about to he pulled. keep the
 hands out in front, the legs spread ! for frmness, the knees down and the
 head lip.
 Football is no gentle game, but if
 can be played cloanly as well as
 hard. When I hit a man to stop q play I always try to make him ' aware of the fact
 While coaches vary on the meth
 ods to be used in trying to break
 up the passing game of an opposing
 eleven l always have been taught
 10 watch the man doing the pass
 Ing and always play your own all
 lotted territory.
 While most of the praise goes to
 the backfeld man on offcnsc much
 credit rightfully belongs 10 the de-
 fensive player, Keep your eye on
 him and you will appreciate his ef- 1 forts.

New Center and Guard Needed, in Opinion of Teams Director - Pre- Iiminary Games Again This Season - Dudack and Belser Not in City So Are Lost to Five.

First announcement relative to the National Guard basketball season this winter was made today by Cla- renee Lanpher. team manager for the past three years, who said that the initial practice will be held next week in preparation for the season which he expects will begin about Thanksgiving.
 The games will be played at the state armory. This puts to an end rumors that other teams would have the armory and that the National Guard team would be brokenup this year. Some of last years men will be back in the lineup which will be strengthened with the addition Of two or three new players.
 Since a great part of tho crowd is made up Of the younger s"t in town. Manager Ianpher expects 10 bring about the starting point O the sec ond game earlier this year, assuring the crowd Of more dancing.
 \ preliminary team will again be on the floor. and although the man. acer did not say. it is expected that the National Guard Juniors will again take part in the opening games. This year the team will be without it's manager Irving Yahm. and it's captain, Ben Saunders. both of whom are now studying at City College of New York.
 Asked what players he intended to change over last years team Lan- pher said he could not decide al this time but that a center. for ward and guard were being looked for. The team thus far is without q coach. Ii has been found that it has been more successful without mentor and this year the manager will take care of the team, accord ing to plans.
 Billy" Dudack. last years coach will not be on the squad this year. He is now coaching the freshmen team at his old alma mater. George town university. Relser who playd several games with the team will al- so be away this year, having enrol led as student at Fordham col llego where he is taking part in freshman athletics.
 The failures z the last two years will be lessons to the team this year. Instead of winning in the early part of the season and hitting q midsea- son slump the team expects 10 play consisten and be in the race for the state title at the finish.

THE HEALTH OF INFANTS

Australia, The Netherlands, New
Zealand. Norway, Sweden and
Switzerland have lower infant death
rates than has the United States.
In the birth registration area of this
country, out of every 1000 babies
born alive II die, whereas in New
Zealand 40 die. in The Netherlands
81, in Sweden 63 and in Switzerland
20. In Chile 300 babies out of every
1000 die.
The health of infants is a foremost
problem. Much attention is being
given to it by our health directors
and they have not exhausted their
opportunity to bring about i'm
provement. The Maine Public
Health Associations report of &C
tivities last year. an excellent one
by the way and one those who
wish to keep informed on what is
going on here in Maine will want to
read, informs us that Names in
FAINT mortality rate declined from
SS,5 in 1928 to S0.7 in 1924, and that
Of course is too high. What with
the efforts that are being made, the
baby clinics, prenatal attention,
and all that, it should be materially
lessened.

EuRoPE's ATTITUDE TOWARD
AMERICAN CAPITAL

Over q period Of only twelve years
this country has loaned to Europe
fourteen billions in capital. That
capital was accumulated by the peo-
pie Of this country. Tho use Of 1t
abroad makes possible activities
without which the people over seas
inevitably would be in much worse
condition than at present. Mani
testify such relations between the
American and the European peoples
deserve clarity Of understanding and
kindly consideration. ssassssss
Understanding and kindly con-
sideration appear 10 be deplorably
lacking. This IL emphasized by the
protest parade Of the veterans OF
France who were mutilated In the
war. They would in this way i'm
press on America their disapproval
Of the debt terms. We dislike to
conclude that these protestants
really understand the sentiment OF
the American people, really compre.
France. To Americans this act OF
these war-torn veterans savors OF
ingratitude. but Of course the French
veterans do not so regard it.
Playing the intricate game Of
French politics undoubtedly has con.
| tributed to and intensified misun.
| derstanding, prejudice and discon.
tent. There is nothing in the situa-
ton to indicate that were America tc
present these protesting veterans
| with a cancellation of the debt the
! latter would not feel that America
should settle. for the music to which
they marched. Is not America
directly responsible for the need Of
any such demonstration? And We,
1t is deeply to be regretted that such
a sentiment exists. however unjust
