INSANITY
Continued from Page .

Club that opened in Judge Hardy's
courtroom at $50 in the morning.
Justice Must Triumph
Judging from this initial session 1t
is obvious that justice must tri-
umph. All the necessary compon-
ents that enter into the orderly
processes of modern criminal pro-
cedure were there-a presiding
Judge, four attorneys, a visiting
Judge, a court reporter, clerk,
several bailiffs and one hundred
representatives of the press. Oh,
YES. we had a defendant also. but
he was of minor Importance. AS a
matter of fact I did not know he
was there until after had left the
courtroom.
Walsh's defense of his client is,
of course, that of insanity. l have
heard that he has argued that 70
hang Hickman would be to indict
every normal American boy, where.
as were Hickman to be adjudged
insane the Nervousness of his abom-
standable and excusable upon the
grounds of irresponsibility.
Libel On Boys
But no one should compare Hick-
man to any normal American boy,
and it is libelous to suggest that
he is any way representative of
American youth, because Hickman
is not normal.
Abnormality, however, does not
by any means imply insanity. Hick-
man is a moral imbecile and moral
imbecility is not insanity. The
moral imbecile is as we'll able to
differentiate between right and
wrong as is any normal mantle
difference between the two lies in
the fact that the moral imbecile
does not care what the results may
be to others so long as he may
crafty his abnormal egotism or his
perverted inclinations.
What if Walsh is successful in
his efforts to prove that Hickman
was insane when he kidnapped Mar
ian Parker. that he was insane
when he murdered her, that he was
insane when he cut her little body
apart?
Might Go Free
Under our California law Hick-
man might at the end of one year
demand dHOll6E lHNSSIlS ALUM az "
his sanity and If found to be then
sane the authorities would be COM
PEELED to free him.
If we hang him, we have re-
moved an immediate menace to our
peace and happiness and safety and
a potential menace to the peace
and happiness and safety OF count
less future generations. for moral
imbeciles breed moral imbeciles,
criminals breed criminals, MUIR
derers breed murderers just as
truly as st. Bernards breed ST.
Bernards and thoroughbeds breed
thoroughbreds.
Would Find Others
But we should not stop with
Hickman; in fact. we need not wait
to begin with him. The city has
plenty of moral imbeciles that we
might well dispose with.
Yes, / think we are going to
have great trial if it ever gets
started. There were A a bunch of
celebrities occupying ringside seats
and society was well represented
inside the rail.
1t is strange what will attract
out best people.

gets ready, she'll tell all the wants
told"
When it was pointed out to Mr..
Becker that public interest in Mrs.
Burnham's experiment was along
sociological lines rather than in
her personal reactions, the artist re-
torted:
well, Mrs. Burnham is woman
of culture, refinement and compre-
hension. When she makes up her
mind to talk more, in case she
does, what she says will be inter-
esting. In the event she decides
to refrain from comment on the
gossip her case has excited, she
will keep silence. And that will
be ALL"

DUKE DEFEATS
COYOTE TEA N

Durham, N. c., Oct. SLAP
A scrapping Coyote eleven from
South Dakota met an inspired team
from Duke university here Saturday,
which halted the westerners' 9 game
winning streak, Is to 6.
Suffering from injuries and minus
the services of John Jankoski, stel-
lar fullback, the Blue Devils built
an offense around young Bill MUIR
ray, playing his first game in place
of Jankoski, that overcame 6
point lead in the second quarter and
literally swept the Coyotes off their
feet.
). The Blue Devils gained 400 yards
from scrimmage, more than 300 of
which was accounted for by the de-
moralizing line plunges of Murray.
The Coyotes, led by the scrapping
Captain Kids and the brilliant Quar-
terback Williams, could run up a
total of only 118 yards.
Almost all of the visitors yardage
came through passes. Duke ran up
20 first downs while the invaders
were making 4, but the figures do
not tell the story.

old and Bill still is waiting for his
first victory. AS a matter of fact
the boys who ventually will 20 down
to the sea in ships will have their
first points to score.
First little Davis and Elkins came
along and sank the Mipshipmen in
several fathoms of water. Then
Boston college added couple of
fathoms to the dose, winning 6 to o
last Saturday.
These two defeats, coupled with
trouncinE. Notre Dame took from
Wisconsin, have taken most of thu
edge off the battle of Midshipmen
and Notrc Dame at Soldier field.
Chicago, next Saturday. Whatever
happens, q national championship
scarcely is likely to hinge upon the
outcome.
Still finding their breathing
somewhat difficult, Army's Cadets

Plays Sensationally on Line:
Long Runs by Jarret and
Schave Go for Nought

Grand Forks, N. D., Oct. S.
Carleton and North Dakota fought
to scoreless tie in Memorial sta
dunn Saturday in sensational foot
ball game. which provided thrill after
thrill to 5000 spectators.
Neither team had any material
advantage, although North Dakota
made one more first down than the
invaders. She was also able to
pierce closer to Carleton's goal than
Carleton did to hers.
North Dakota started sensational
ly in the first period, working the
oval to Carleton's 20 yard line on
passes and runs. Broberg, Carleton
fullback, broke up the Nodak march
with pass interrogation on his own
IA yard line.
Two Long Dashes
Again in the second quarter North
Dakota almost broke up the ball
game. A IL yard jaunt by Red Jar
rett and the longest run of the game
from scrimmage, a q yard jaunt by
Curtis Schave, gave North Dakota
first down on the Carleton eight
yard line. Schavs was run out of
bounds on this shot after being al
most clear for a touchdown. A
tumble by Jarrett set the Nodaks
back six yards. and nullified an eight
yard gain by Schave minute later.
Carleton then held for two downs
then on five yard line.
Carleton never had the ball past
the center of the field in the first
half, but she came back with a
vengeance in the second session.
Two long successful passes, Cable
to Setterquist, gave Carleton first
down in the third period on Da-
kota's 20 yard line. More passes
failed to find receivers, and short
time later an injury to Setterquist
removed him from the game. His
absence deprived Carleton of its best
catcher for the day.
Break Almost Costly
Carleton played in North Dakota
territory in the fourth quarter, once
working the ball on passes to the
Nodak % yard line. North Dakota
held in the waning minutes of the
game, took the<ball, but lost it later
on a bad pass from center. The
break gave Carleton first down on
North Dakota's IS yard line but the
gun ended the game after Cable had
tried one unsuccessful pass to Bro
berg.
Setterquist and Sartois, end and
tackle, were powerful in Carleton's
line, while Broberg's plunging and

good. North Dakota's line outshone
the backfield. Willis Shepard's
work at end was remarkable, and
Vern Smith was impregnable at
tackle. Kochian's blocking helped
Schave and Kahl and Jarrett in their
attempts at Carleton's fast charging
line. Fans who were here for the
tilt from all sections of the state
called Saturdays battle one of the
best seen here in many seasons.

With hundreds Of alumni in the
stands, the Jimmics were able te
make only one real threat to score.
That was late in the first period
when Long, right tackle, blocked
Cotton's punt, and Cooms, left guard,
swocped it up and went to the Huron
five yard line.
The Jimmics failed by inches to
make the goal in three line smashes.
then lost yard and the ball on ar

mediate danger and kept their goal
safe thereafter.
Hahn, Hawaiian right half, made
the first touchdown, intercepting q
Jamestown pass and sprinting sc
yards. Cotton made both touch
downs in the last period. one on
straight plays at the end Of a &C
yard smashing attack, and another
by intercepting pass and going
60 yards. Fipps missed two trys
for extra points and Cotton orc.
Excellent puntine by Purdy and
Long saved the Jiinmies from a
worse defeat. The game was marred
by many fumbies.
Hahn and Cotton looked fast in
the Huron backfield but lacked co.
ordination except OIL straight line
smashing.
Penalties were about even and
largely for off sides. The Jimmies
took several losses with attempted
passes in final desperate try to
score.
The Jimmics were outweighed ii
the line, and the Scalpers cane
through regularly. Jamestown's
short passing was good for short
gains, but failed in crucial moments.

Game Is Replete With Thrills,
Gergen. Tearing Off a 81.
Yard Run and Chief Paris.
eau Attempting a Field Goal
at End of Closing Period

Two powerful teams, each too we'll
equipped defensively to allow the
other to score, played to a scoreless
tie on the football field at the agri-
cultural college Saturday.
The North Dakota Bison made
three great bids for counters, while
two were chalked up in favor of the
Superior State Teachers, but deter
mined as were these bids, they were
not good enough.
The game was replete with thrills,
starting with 31-yard dash by Pete
Gergen, clever Bison quarter, early
in the first period, and ending with
an attempt at a field goal from the
4O-yard line by Chief. Pariseau, re-
serve Bison back.
Gergen May Lead
Gergen and Leo May, giant Bison
fullbacks, gained most Of the plaud-
it's for their play from the Bison
fans, while. Frank Geffe, q stocky
halfback, carried the burden Of the
offense for Superior, and his clever
work in broken fields proved that
Coach /. I. Tubbs had made no mis-
take in giving this youngster the
load. Geffe was a thorn in the side
of the Bison defense during a torrid
third quarter, three times dashing
away for gains Of IA, II, and %
yards, respectively, and on each &C.
casion was dangerously near break
ing away from. the entire defense.
Mays kicking and plunging was
even more impressive than it was a
week ago. The big fellow picked his
holes quickly and drove viciously at
the open spaces, and it took hard
tackling to bring him down.
Line honors were shared by three
performers, two from Superior and
one from the agricultural college.
Frank Puglisi, dininutive end, and
Boland, giant tackle, were the bull
warks Of the visitors defense, while
Stafford Ord&hl. Bison center, played
an outstanding part in both the of
fensive and defensive efforts.
Punts were exchanged without
much advantage either way until the
middle Of the second period. when
the Bison opened drive which car
ried them into scoring position, and
almost over the goal. After one OF
these punting exchanges Bill Hits
came around on an end play to gain
S yards and Hermes and May made
it first down on Superior's 41-yard
line. Hermes, Gergen and May
ripped into the line in the order
named to make it first down on the
26-yard line. Gergen sifted through
for 8 yards, only to have the play
called back, and the Bison were Pc
nalized Is yards for holding. On a
wingback play Hernes skirted SUI
perior's left end for 20 yards. and
on the next play Hermes cut inside
left tackle for first down on SUI
perior's 15-yard line.
Gun Ends Drive
May made terrific smash into
the line, inside tackle, and gained q
shade better than 5 yards, and on the
next play Superior was penalized
5 yards for being offside, giving the
Bison 4 first down on the 4-yard
line. Twice the Bison ripped into
the defense, and . third time May
hit with terrific force. The Superior
line seemed to WAIVER for moment,
but it closed and brought. down the
giant, the referee ruling the ball was
