TIME first games of the foot ball
season are to be played tomor-
row. Not very attractive are
Il the contests, it is true, but
nevertheless, the first scheduled
and important rs such. And. rather
strange, three of the four games listed
are in the South, one in Virginia and
two in North Carolina.
Virginia Military Institute is the
biggest school to get under way. Wof-
ford College of South Carolina being
booked to appear at Lexington. V. NJ.
J. always wins from Wofford. but once
or twice has had hard shedding. And
this Fall it may get more of battle
than usual, because the Wofford team
is coached by Tom SCaffe, former line
coach at the Navy. Scaffe knows foot
ball. especially how to build up Il set
OF forwards. and V. NJ. l. probably will
hit one of the fastest charging and
most aggressive lines when it faces
Wofford that it has ever met in an
opening game.
Elon College and High Point Cot
lege play ut F,lon and Winston-Salem
has IA contest at homo With Barium
Springs. whatever Barilun Springs is
as a school
The V NJ I.-Woffard game may be
worth seeing. 1t will he the first OPP
test in which a fumbled bail on lat
eral or backward pass is dead. Then
again, aside from the interest attached
to application of new rules, the con-
test may be exceptionally we'll played
for an opener.
With a hard game with Wake For-
est looming again only a week away,
North Carolina coaches have been
making every effort to get a regular
lineup so that team play may be per-
fected as far as possible. For three
consecutive years the Wake Forest
eleven has gone to Chapel Hill and
carried away victory, which has rot
gladdened to any appreciable extent
Tarheel hearts. Wake Forest again
is said to be strong, and North Caro-
lima realizes it must get move on if
1t is not to suffer another defeat.
AT present It seems that Dodderer,
regular right end year ago. will win
back his job, while Sap is the most
promising candidate for the other
Warren and Moorehead, 1926 tackles
again seem to be bosses of their jobs,
while Beard and Shuler are leading
for the guard positions. Schwartz,
all-Southern scholastic center three
years ago and regular varsity center
last season, is sure of his position.
while the first backfield quartet is like
ly to be made up of Furches at quar-
ter Young and Ferrell, halfbacks, and
Shuford fullback.
II North Carolina suffers another
defeat at the hands of Wake Forest,
1t will not be because the coaches are
not taking more eoguizance than usual
Of the seriousness of the contest.
Automobiles are becoming more dan
gerous to foot ball players than foot

WAR TALK UNNECESSARY

Whether not one agrees with many of the ideas OF
Senator Borah, the gentleman from Idaho appears to
have hit the nail the head yesterday, in statement
on the present situation with Mexico.
THE only thing involved is property, the sena-
tor said IF can't arbrate that question there is
no use to talk longer about arbitration"
Undoubtedly the new Mexican oil law is disaste
full to many American firms with money invested in
that country and it may perhaps be equally distase
full to many MeXicans, who view it something that
may hinder the Introduction of foreign capital to aid
in developing the natural resources of Mexico.
And there is considerable difference of opinion
garding the justice and wisdom of the pursued
by the United States in Nicaragua.
Though the United States and Mexico appear to be
at loggerheads these questions there is need of
war talk.
IT, Senator Borah ntmates an enlightened
country like the United States cannot settle differ

our boasted advancement nation is non-eXlstent,
and we would be slipping back to the spirit of 100
years more when nations flew at each others
Threats at the slightest wrong real or farcied.

last of wars. We would be inconsistent many
tons accuse US of being if we declared now.
There is no call to sacrifice American and Mexican
lives over the present dsagreements If cannot

to be as step should be necessary for the
United States to take.
