The annual interhigh football
championship series gets underway
tomorrow afternoon when Western

the Central High School Stadium.
Western is not conceded much of
chance this year because the
Georgetowners have suffered as the
result Of injuries and losses from
other causes.
Central will present an entire
line, but the backfield looms as the
best allaround quartet in schoolboy
ranks. Ault. Stevens. Cross and
Simmons form a dangerous back.

D my HllIlu the pldSlnR VI al "a
ceedingly hard match involves the
expenditure of an abnormal amount
of energy, both mental and physl-
cal. A hard match demands the
output either of intense effort until
the break comes. or of sustained
effort throughout. and 1 think the
final score has very little. if any,
thing. to do with it.
After all, 1t is the strain, the
fierce uncertainty, which bears
down, and regardless of the
score a match is hard so long
as the ultimate result remains
in doubt. So, notwithstanding
what others have written and in
spite of the apparently comfort
able lead which / always had.
my match with Chick Evans at
Minnikahda was one of the
toughest / can remember. The
morning round was satisfactory
In every respect. but in the aft.
ernOOn / found myself strug-
Cling from the very start.
Evans began to play very well
and steadily and / soon began to
lose confidence in my shots. To be
six UP and to have that lead cut
to four in the first five holes is bad
enough. but when you begin to feel
that your control is slipping it Is
infinitely verse. For you know you
can't keep going on in par figures
and wear your man out. The match
never assumed a comfortable aspect
until Chick drove into the woods at
the seventh and overplayed the
green at the eighth, allowing me to
reinstate my six-hole advantage.
Playing Watts Gum at Oakmont,
we had the most spirited kind OLA
battle for 10 holes, and while 1
realized throughout that my situa-
ton was desperate, we were both
playing so well that we had no
thought to give to ultimate victory
or defeat. I suppose we realized
that a break had to come for one
of US, but we felt that whoever
got it had earned it.
cannot remember putting
cut so much actual labor to
win golf match as Maurice
Mccarthy extracted from me i'm
the first round at Minikahda. in
the first place did not want to
go out in the first round above
all things, and ] did not want
to be beaten when l was playing
so badly. If Mccarthy had
been playing the fine game of
which know him to be capable,
am sure / should not have
minded being put out by him.
But he wasn't and to be one
down to Al out was not pleas
ing In the least.
Almost flounderlng as was, in
vain efforts to get back on to a
semblance of form, and having to
hole two stable puts at the
twelfth and thirteenth to have even
q chance to win, | think spent
the most uncomfortable morning of
my golfing experience. l should
put this down as the hardest match
have ever played and the one
in which l was luckiest TO come out
ahead. Nothing in the world could
have won that match for me except
what happened. a partial collapse
Of my opponent on the last three
holes.

LONDON, Oct. II. - The impress.
sion was gaining ground here today
that the Channel swimming hoax ad-
mitted to by DR.. Dorothy Logan, who
received a prize, later returned,
for supposedly breaking Gertrude
Ederle's record, was nothing more
than a poor instinct joke"
1t was believed her method would
do nothing more than provoke fur

While agreeing that some sort of
Channel swimming supervision was
needed, London newspapers believe
the fact should have been brought
to the attention of the world by
some other means than those
adopted by DIR. Logan. The Morn

there were many workers who stood
on the curb and DOTTED their caps as
we passed.
The Assembly Hall at the Party
Home had already been prepared
awaiting our arrival. One end of it
was entirely set off with red bunting.
A beautiful bronze bust of Lenin
stood upon high pedestal, behind it
was a flag with the crossed sickle

At the foot of the pedestal containing
Lenin's bust was a raised dais on
which the Ashes Urn was placed.
Many wreaths filled the space
about the dais. There was one from

Serve spoke of the meaning of this
occasion and reviewed the life and
death of Ruthenberg. Kaspar spoke
declaring that it is most significant
that, "The banner can stand when its
bearer falls. Our banner stands.
Millions follow it. Ours will be the
victory in spite of everything"
In responding, and again speaking

tonight, to witness the great honor
that you bestow upon the memory
of our dead leader. But even so the
