Gil's Chatterbox

Somebody may have colored my glasses,
but it seems to me that Tex Rickayd cleaned
up pretty well on his recent exploitation of
class hatred, when one hundred and fifty
thousand working people journeyed to the
Windy City and paid forty silver beams of
prosperity apiece to see pair of millionaires
thump each other around ring. AS near as
/ can dope out the press reports, Dempsey
hit both the box office and Tunney for a half
million and Tunney hit the bank with mill
lion. But all these little side issues have
nothing at all to do with the attempt of our
local school teachers to get their wages
raised. It seems to me that our teachers are
getting enough now for what they are doing.
The three r." racket is out of date. When
our schoolmarms get to instructing our kids
in something worth while, then sezzi, give 'em
more money. Left hooks and right crosses
mixed up with murderous smashes to the mid
riff are what bring fame and fortune. What
self-respecting kid wants to grow up to be
President for a paltry seventy-five thousand
year?
Well, everything has sort of slid back to
normal again this week, with one half of the
population agreeing that Tunney always was
the best man anyway, and they knew it all
the time, while the other half agrees that if
the referee had started counting when he
should have, in that seventh round, Tunney
would have been licked and the best man
returned the winner. So that's that.

her back against the other side
of the car several times, at the

Legion meant by resolutin' their approval Of
air progress. When it comes to air naviga-
ton, I'm pessimist. Lean get up as high as
l want to go and still keep both feet on the
ground. And as for progressively made
the grade all right, but what about the 9TH
ers? The Columbia got over, and took one
Jew out of here tosGermany, but he threat
ems to come back to America, so where is the

WELL Those that were blessed by sky pilots

And the Mayor of Indianapolis drew the
works" while one-fifth of the Memphis po-
lice department got caught in liquor ring.
Looks to me like too many public officials
are careless-if not to begin with they get
that way. It's just question of mentality.
Crooked officials seldom get humpbacked
carrying brains around with them, and it isn't
hard to find out what they are doing, or what
they have DONE particularly when the whole
world is in on the plot. Officials who have
been in office twenty years and bear good
regulations are either darned honest or
mighty smart. If they've been honest they've
been smart unless they stole something
IuCy COOlu CdI1y AOlIlS WlCIlOuC ally AcIPs
For instance, an honest cop wouldn't steal
his neighbours onions, and a smart cop
wouldn't either, because the neighbor would
smell them cooking A public official cannot
fill niche and feel an itch at the same time.
Those Memphis police should have known
that they couldn't deal with large part Of
the underworld without leaving a trail as
plain as that Of an elephant in snowdrift.
Which makes me think of Isadore McNutt
who knew too much to be a harness bull in a
graft administration but not enough to pass
the civil service examination of the hod car
riers' union, so he ran for the school board
and was elected by an intelligent electorate.
Now, before putting the cover on the chat
ter-box for the week, I'll rise to remark that
my opinion Of men slightly differs from that
of Bobby Burns I'll pv It this way-a man
is what he is and not what he is dangled be-
fore the public to be. He is true to form, just
like dog. Put old Towser in the bathtub
and scrub him. spray him with bergamot and
turn him loose. Does that make him per-
fume demonstration for a department store?
Nix cum raus. Towser will locate some de-
licious fish thrown out by the neighbors last
June, roll in it, and come home-plain old
Towser.

Jinx Is Following
Football Captain

There would seem to be some
jinx attached to the captaincy of
a college eleven IL one considers
the number of varsity leaders who
have been forced from the game.
Capt. Bowker of Tufts and Capt.
Gerald Lee of Wesleyan were in
capacitated on the eve of contests.
Captain Wilcox OF Perdue was an
other leader who watched his team
from the sidelines.
At various times this fall the
captains of Brown. Vermont, Nor.
wich. Connecticut Aggies and Bos-
ton University have been indefin-
itely benched because of injuries.
This is reminiscent of the five-year
stretch, from 1922 to 1926. inclu.

The Mohawks and Apaches main.
tanned their unblemished football
records yesterday. The Hawks fas-
downe eleven of Baltimore and the
Apaches pinned a 33-to-6 stigma on
the Alexandria Firemen. The cham
pion Mohawks were forced to the
limit, but the young Indians coasted
home under wraps.
The Hawks uncorksd a terrific
drive shortly after the kickoff and
worked the ball down the field until
Fee CoIliera crashed through for
the touchdown. The extra point
after touchdown was missed.
The battle then resolved itself
into punting duel, with neither

ened in the closing quarter and ad-
vanced to the Mohawks' 12-yard
stripe where they were checked by
tumble.
The Apaches encountered stub
born opposition during the first
half Of their game with the Virgin
ians, holding a bare 7.to-6 lead At
half time. They came back with
fury In the final half and battered
the foes without a halt, pushing
across four markers. Joe Sweeney
and Snail occupied the spotlight for
the Victors. Mayhem grabbed an
Apache tumble and skipped so yards
for the Virginians' score.
The NOrthern-WintOn contest
ended in a scOreIess deadlock
when officials stopped the con-
test in the final seconds as fans
rushed upon the field.
With a few seconds left, the
Northerns were on the vineyard line,

Business will offer a trio or
capable backs in Capt. Charlie May,
Stewart and Bernie Jones. 1t de-
ponds upon the Business forward
wall whether this trio can show to
advantage in series games, as the
infantrymen must dig holes through
which the ball carrier can filter.
Central will present an all
Captain Simmons, AuIt, Cross
and Stevens. They are probably
superior to any four that Bush
ness may place on the field.
It is doubtful If Tech, which can
show Captain Kriemelmeyer, Flor
ence, Mills, Guy or Ritter. is stronger
than Central in the backfield.
Central will have the decided ad-
vantage in the line. Not member
of Central's 1927 forward wall held
d similar position last year, but each
has comported with finesse in pre-
race games. 1t won't be surprising
II Central's line is declared the best
Of series elevens.
Business has not toppled Central
in football game for something like
is years. Some folks expect the
school to produce elevens that will
match the products of Tech, Central.
Western and Eastern. When Bust
ness is supplied with the same ad-
vantages as these four schools, then
It can be ranked on par with them.
Coach Woodworth has a limited
number Of students from which 10
draw his athletic talent. Compare
this with the huge numbers avail.
able at Tech, Central and Eastern.
with Western not having a small
number by any means.
Central and Eastern have ath.
letic fields, while Tech will have
q field as soon as the new Tech
High building Is ready for &C.
cupancy. Business has no field
and must daily Journey to the
Eastern High soccer for football
practice.
Only when Business is favored
with better facilities will it be
possible for the Stenographers to
meet their interhigh rivals on an
even basis. At present, they must
struggle along and take beatings
with smiles.
Some think that Western was
benefited by a 'break" when rain
twice postponed the Central game
last week, 1t is argued that West
ern will be able to use its ineligible
players when the contest is played.
This is erroneous. Western can only
use players who were eligible as Of
October 1S.
Western, however, was fortunate
in that rain interfered as it gave
grace to the injured players and the
squad will be greatly improved for
Fridays game with Tech.
