BY JACK sORDs

Over 40 years and still going
strong. That's the dope on Grover
Alexander, Cardinal pitcher who this
year has completed his sixteenth sea-
son in the National league, and in a
blaze Of glory.
Last spring the wise ones already
had Alex on the shelf. But he fool
ed them all and his remarkable pitch
ing this season was a big help in en-
abling the Cardinals TO nose the
New York Giants out Of second place,
putting to rest the fumors that
claimed the veteran had seen his day.
OF curse Alexander has seen better
days. There were times when a
pitcher to finish a successful season
had to win at least 20 or 25 games.
Ball games were easier to win then
than they are now. In 1915 Alex
pitched 10 shutouts for the Phillies
and for three consecutive seasons,
1915, 1915 and 1917, won 80 games
or better each Sc ason.
A~lexander's control saved his arm
q lot OF wasted effort. out his rugged
health il probably responsible for
keeping him in the swim so long. He
has never adhered strictly to n set
training rules, and has done things
that would have shortened the ca
reer OF anything but an iron man. "A
year ago last spring he was fined
and suspended by Joe Mccarthy, Cub
manager, who later sold him for the
waiver price Of $4,000 to the St.
Louis Cardinals.
He was born in st. Paul. Neb., Feb.
&c. 1887. He began his professional
career in 1909 with Galesburg in the
Illinois-Missour league, and after
serving with indianapolis and SYRIA
cuse in 1910, was allotted to the
Phillies by draft. where Re pitched
until 1917 when he was traded Dec.
III 20 the Cubs. along with Killcfer,
for S55.000 and players Prender-
CAST and Dillhoefer. He was released
to st. Louis, June %. 1926.
When he reports for spring train
ing next year he will be more than
Al years old.

Timely Views
NATURALIZATION SEEN As WAR
CAUSE

BY NICHOLAS MURRAY BUTLER
President Of Coulmbia University.
nicholas Murray Butler was
born at Elizabeth, M. j., April =,
1862. His connection with Colum-
bia University, New York city,
began in 1885, when he was m as
sistant In the department Of philo-
sophy. He has been president or
institution since 1902. DIR. Butler
has been active in Republican
party politics for many years, act
ing MS delegate to the national
conventions Of the party. and on
two occasions receiving votes for
vice presidential and presidential
candidates.. He has done consid-
cradle work In education and poll
teal economy.
Which way lies the path 70 peace =?
To answer this question justly one
must understand and weigh the
great social, economic and political
forces which are and have been at
work in the world.
For more chan a thousand years,
indeed. since the fall Of the Roman
Empire. the western world has been
engaged In nation building What
we call nations were not known i'm
antiquity. Their unit was the city
state and the dependencies. The
Roman Empire was the first and
most stupendous attempt TO bring
the whole civilized world under A
single rule. IL failed because the
task was beyond the power of human
genius and because the end In itself
was neither wise nor beneficial.
Following that failure there baFan
in Europe the process or national
izing. which IS still going on. Groups
Of like-minded mer having a com
mon tradition. speaking n common
Languages. and feeling IA general COM
munity OF interests. sought 70 find
ard 20 make for themselves perma-
nent homes and 70 build govern
ments. Each successful attempt of
this kind became "a nation.
Consciously or unconscicusly The
process az nation building aimed 20
achieve three things: first a sub
stantial ctkic unity: second, 20 oc-
cupy n geographical unity which
gave complete W relative security,
rnd third. u gain economic indepen-
dcnce. that Is. 20 control directly the
essentials Of economic life and In
dustry.
From each .of these three enden-
vors there have resulted wars with
out number. and today the i~nterna-
tional problem and many national
problems may best Nv stated In
terms or one or MIL these three end
d~ea~ors.

HISTORY MAY REPEAT
IN BIG GRID CONTEST

FIASTON, Pa, October 19.-Will
history be repeated on the gridiron
here next Saturday afternoon?
That is question that at present
is causing considerable worry to
those who wish Lafayette well.
On an October afternoon back in
1922 on the Polo Grounds in New
York. Lafayette and Washington and
jefferson fought one of the most bit
ter battles that has ever been Waged
between two college elevens. Both
were riding high on the crest of vic
tory.
Lafayette went into that game with
a record of II consecutive victories.
w. and J. faced the Maroon with a
similar number of games behind in
which a reverse had not been suffered.
The Presidents. however. had played
a tie match. Lafayette left the Polo
Grounds a defeated team that after
noon, beaten by a single point.
BY a queer trick of fate, Lafayette
once more on Saturday will face w.
and j. with a record of not having
been defeated in the last II contests.
This Fall, however, one tie score
West Virginia Mountaineers on Sat
urday surprised the foot ball world
by rising to the top of their game
after a trouncing by Pittsburgh and
holding Lafayette to TT tie. The
stalenaate came at the end Of string
of 16 consecutive victories.
Washington and jefferson was the
last team to defeat the Maroon. Dur
ing the 1925 season the Presidents
handed Herb McCracken's eleven it's
only reverse. And as was the case
in 1922 the single point after touch
down was the margin of victory.

G. W.-F0RDHAM FRAY
SET FOR | O'CLOCK

George Washington's foot ball eleven
will play it's important game with
Fordham at Central Stadium here
Saturday, starting at / o'clock.
While this is an exceedingly attrac.
tive contest, the biggest game here
Saturday is the annual clash between
Georgetown and West Virginia at
Clark Griffith Stadium, which will
start at 2:S0.
Aside from the Colonials and Hill.
toppers all other elevens Of the local
group will show their wares on foreign
gridirons.
Maryland will go to Richmond to
meet Virginia Military Institute in
Southern Conference game, Catholic
University will travel to Worcester to
engage Holy Cross, Gallaudet will take
on Temple at Philadelphia, and Ameri.
can University will engage William
and Marry.
A squad of 80 Catholic U. players will
leave for Worcester tomorrow night
at 7:30 o'clock. The Cardinals, so Coach
McAuliffe announces, doubtless will
start with their entire regular lineup.
In preparation for the Temple game
Gallaudet was to scrimmage this aft.
ernoon with the Tank Corps eleven at
Camp Meade. Capt. Byouk, the Ken.
dali Greeners leading performer, will
not play against Temple, as his bruised
leg is not vet healed. Marshall is
holding forth for Byouk and doing
creditably, too.
