Light Penalty for Brutal
Policemen an Outrage
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
Hearty approval Of your editorial of
the 18th instant. condemning brutal
treatment of an innocent and unof-
Tending italian by two local police.
men and the action of the police board
In imposing trivial fine only for so
grave offense,
The act Of these police was an out
rage and in violation Of law, and pre-
sumably police regulations, and shows
beyond question that they are unfit
to be on the force or to hold any posi-
ton Of authority over others. Simple
justice. the interest of police disci.
pline and the utter unfitness of these
two men for police duty demand that
they should have been forthwith dis
missed from the force and prosecuted
for assault: and but for their probable
impecuniosity the Italian should sue
them in civil damages.
That the board should condone so
grave offense by police as the trifiing
fine indicates raises a serious question
as to their qualifications and fitness
to discharge the very responsible
duties Of their position.

Thackeray, speaking of Bulwer
Lytton. scored his eternal whine
about the good and the beautiful
Matthew Arnold came in for similar
! criticism from various critics.
To speak frankly of good and beau
| tiful things, and especially of these
qualities in the abstract, seems tc
rile certain persons beyond endur-
ance.
They seem to be unable to dis
associate cant from truth. or to tel
the hypocrite from the truth-teller
Even the latter. no matter how high
his prestige. strikes them as false.
Thus sophisticated men In New
York. where verify wisdom resides
(if you can believe them), set them
selves up to be judges of the re-
mainder of the United States. espe-
cially of all those who believe In
morality.
1t must be confessed that in writ
ing there seems to be a limit in
which one may speak of the good
and the beautiful
Perhaps Bulwer- Lytton rather
overdid it. Certainly Arnold, in his
famous essay, laid himself open to
the sensitive ones. to whom Il word
about abstract morals Is as a red
flag to 4 bull.
Yet the world needs others besides
preachers to speak up not only in de
Tense of, but in militant praise OF
good things as well as beautiful
things.
do not talk about what a. good
man is, but be such" was the advice
of Marcus Aurelius. Like a great

After Lindbergh did it the world is

AS long as human nature creeps

by a grand leap or short cut, 1t Will
be necessary to talk about "the good

This is an ugly world. in many re-
spects.
Especially is it hideous in respect
to what man may make of 1t.
Do you know what the after-talk
of Lindbergh's great feat is?
That he has shown to the world.
and especially to the United States,
the ease with which enemy planes
could fly across the ocean and drop
deadly gas upon great cities, such as
New York.
That 100 planes, for instance, could
strap containers Of this gas beneath
the fuselage, in place Of the extra
gasoline which Lindbergh carried.
That this gas. once dropped, would
wipe out every vestige Of life In the
city.
That the gas would linger for three
weeks or more, making 1t impossible
for any one to enter the devastated
territory.

such talk. and there Is good reason
to believe most of it, mankind 10 In

Police Brutality Is
Further Condemned
To the Editor of The Star.

To the Editor of The Star.
Your editorial, Light Penalty for
Police Brutality" of Saturday, June
IS, and the letter of Mr.. Frank M.
Dryer in the issue of June 20 have
the hearty thanks of the N. A. A. C.
P. Branch in Washington. Both the
editorial and the letter have given ex-
preston to the pent-up feelings of
many on the subject Of the brutality
Of the Washington police. They have
little to add, however, to what has
been printed In those expositions ex-
cept to state that ii was left for the
brutality to be made upon a foreigner
who sought the aid of his government
before attention was sufficiently at.
tracted to the act.
1t is hoped the police will be more
civilized in the future.

SMART PLAYING
TEAMS TAKING
GRID HONORS
BY FRANK GETTY
United Press Sports Editor

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-What
Knute Rockne calls "heads up"
football is what they are paying off
on this season.
Knutc's own team forgot it in
the army game and went the way
of all proud gridiron flesh this topsy
turVey year.
One reason Yale stands out as the
best team in the east is that those
six foot babies in eli blue play alert,
"hcads up' football.
This has been season in which
no one team has developed suffi-
cient sustained power to crush all it's
opponents.
Yale had its Georgia, Notre Dame
its Army, Minnesota its Indiana and
Stanford its Santa Clara.
Alertness -, eternal alertness-
from the first whistle to the last,
proved the winning note of 1927.
Famous players with "All Amer
icao tags to their names forgot for
moment to keep their heads up,
and victory, tickle jade, fitted ov-
er to the opposite side of the grid
iron.
Yale has been outclassed, but not
outsmarted this year. If ever a foot
ball team was whipped and doleful
lot of youngsters, it was the big and
badly battered blue team at the
start of the fourth period of the
Princeton game.
Still the team had been trained
to "heads up' football, so it had a
chance, although it didn't know it.
johnny Hoben, who is rather an
anomaly in Yale uniform because
he is actually brainy quarterback,
thought out the play that gave his
team its chance. He called for a
play so complicated and daring that
twice his team mates were confused
as to how it went and had to call
for "signals over.'
Hobcn, from midficld, flung a
forward pass that seemed to be
headed for an unguardcd, unoccu-
pied patch of turf. Dwight Fish
wick, more alert of the Yale ends,
crossed over and snatched the ball
just before it struck ground.
Princeton was not alert. The see
ondarv defense was caught, for the
moment, without its heads up, and
Fishwick ran for touchdown
which meant the game.

TRIPLE TIE IN
PACIFIC COAST
CONFERENCE
by United Press Leased Wire

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. IL
Three teams were tied today in
the wild scramble for Pacific Coast
conference football honors-Stan-
ford, University Of Southern Cali
fornia and Idaho, and pressing close
behind them still ioomed the Wash
iIgton IIuskies, the troublesome
dark horse of the conference.
Defeated only by Stanford, the
Huskies demonstrated their drive
and power Saturday by vanquishing
California, 6 to 0, after four quar-
trrs of heart breaking football for
the Bear fans.
While the Husky and Bear were
busily mauling one another, the
Stanford Cardinals, for the second
time this season, were seeing little
or no humor at all in the football
antics of non-conference opponent.
Four thousand rain soaked fans
gathered in the Stanford stadium
watched the Santa Clara Broncos,
ltndaunted by the Cardinals reputa-
tion of strength and ferociousness,
prove again that Coach Pop War
ner' S big red team was not unbeat-
able.
Swarming over the Cards, skirting
the vauntcd Stanford ends, and
piercing the mighty Stanford line
almost at will, the Broncos left the
field boasting Of 13 to 6 win over
the possible conference winners.
Bears May Surprise
Next Saturday Stanford will meet
California, and it is not unlikely,
although the present odds are in ia
vOr of the Cards, that the Bears may
spring "A surprise and possibly elimI-
nate Stanford from the conference
race.
University of Southern California,
tied with Stanford and Idaho in con-
ference rating, must defeat Wash
ington State college next Saturday
and on December 3 turn back Il
Washington Husky invasion to re-
t3in an unblcmished record.
Idaho must win or tie Oregon Ag
ricultural college to keep pace with
the leaders.
Idaho occupies unique position
among the conference teams. Ad-
mittcdly Il weak team in comparison

dals have yet to lose game, and
