Today players of giant stature are often dropped
from squad simply because they are not in
prime condition to stand the wear and tear of
the hard, fast, present-day game Modern
methods OF training have reduced the number
OF injuries until the game today is compare
lively as safe as any other strenuous sport.
Rockne, the coach of Notre Dame believes
the usual cry will be heard this Fall about the
roughness of foot ball
These outbursts will not occur until the sea-
son is over" he said AT that time, having
no other means of breaking into print, some
persons will make their annual attack against
the brutal. dehumanizing game of foot ball.
AS one OF these chaps once said It's terrible
game, the way those boys bump into each other
and everything
In the next few weeks young men who are
unknown today will become stars of the grid
iron, furnishing color and thrills galore to
millions of people. Our lives are drab enough
these days. I believe We have many reasons
for foot ball, but the biggest one can think of
now is that it gives our lives background of
color.
Il attended patcif1st meeting this year at one
OF the great universities. l analyzed the crowd
as we'll and as fairly as I could. I found that
almost without exception, they were physically
below normal. I questioned about half dozen
OF the chaps regarding foot ball and found
that they were just as anti-foot ball as they
were anti-mlitary. The thought has occurred
to ME since that the resentment of these men
against things military and against foot ball
was natural thing. These men were lacking
in the qualities of courage, physique loyalty
and such that are part of the makeup of the
foot ball player and the soldier-hence their
resentment against BOTH"

A MOTHER strange thing in the life of the
little Ellen was the fact that the quiet little

arouse within her parent an unreasonable

If the general public eats potatoes at the

bushels less on hand January / than at the cor
responding date this year The Department Of
Agriculture forecasts that the supply at the first
Of the year will be around 10000 900 bushels

GIVE heard a lot about players who hate the
game" said Bill Roper, Princeton coach,
but to my knowledge I've never known that
type. shall make no attempt to deny that
there are some parts of the training and prac-
tice which are tedious and diSagreeable. yet
healthy competitive spirit. the companionship
of the boys and the thrill of the sport itself
transcend any unpleasant features of the game.
I know boys who when the season is over feel
badly about it
Foot ball players have or acquire sort Of
pluck which is admirable in itself, but not al
ways sensible or discreet. Instances of men play
ing with broken collarboneS bruised bodies and
other injuries form part of the games history.
There is the immortal story Of Phil Brett, the
captain of Rutgers in 1891. which has come
to be the catchword of foot ball heroics. Rut-
gers was using the old wedge attack against
Princeton. The Tigers broke it up, and. Incl
dentally broke Brett's leg Brett was both
heroic and mock heroic. Sitting on the ground
waiting for the stretcher he asked for cigar
cite, adding II could die for dear old Rutgers!"
Today every coach is as proud of limited
injuries as he is of his record of games won,
which are usually inversely related, for it is a
stark impossbiity to develop winning team
unless the men are in top shape. An injured
player not only puts himself on the sidelines.
but retards the general development of the
team
Today a coach does not scrimmage his men
for almost two weeks after the opening of the
practice season, and sometimes only once or
twice week thereafter. AS soon as a player
shows signs of weakening the trainer yanks
him out, for player is much better under
trained than overturned.
when a man is overturned" said Keene
Fitzpatrick. veteran trainer at Michigan, Yale
and Princeton, "he won't eat we'll and he won't
sleep He is sluggish mentally and generally in
poor spirits. tired athlete loses a sense of
rhythm and is more susceptible to injury. He is
better on the sidelines"
WEARS ago a coach needed weight. fast
light man would have had to have extraor-
binary ability to get any consideration even
if he survived the fierce clashes Of scrimmsge.

ness Agnes, as she had SO often been told by
her associates, could have made large sums of
money at her art embroidery.
RUT Agnes detested the work The process of
picking with a splinter of needle through
the meshes of linen or silk was maddening to
her nerves. Needlework tortured her body and
more than that it tortured her eyes, sending
her to bed night after night with blazing tor
turous headaches.
Against these headaches Mrs. McRae supplied
spectacles ground out from a prescription
written by a local dealer In opera glasses and
binoculars They relieved, but did not cure.
And so. on and on through the years. Agnes
Winters, protesting occasionally. but in the main
resigned continued to create for Mrs. McRae
the beautiful and the sheer in handwork.
When she was 20 she married one Of the
gardeners. Morris Murphy was an architectural
gardener and had learned his trade from an
American who had taken him to Italy He was
a bluff, good humored fellow and as if by con-
trast, seemed TO admire in Agnes Winters the
demure qualities that were so removed from
his own.

rope will consume more Egyptian
onions than ever. They are short
Of onions in England and on the
mainland of Europe and at the
present they are taking a few
onions from the United States.
With an increased demand from
old world markets, it means that
fewer will come to the United
States and will aid the shippers Or
Texas onions very materially.
Old Onion Situation
The new onion deal from Texas
will find competition from old
onions for another five or six weeks
at the least. There are some fairly
large supplies Of old onions in the
market and these will now be
moved into consumption as fast as
possible.
Reports from holders of old
onions shows that these stocks are
not keeping any too well and con-
siderable rot is being found in most
lots. With the old supplies not
holding up, there will be a strong
effort to rush them on the market
as fast as possible.
With the appearance of the new
onions in appreciable amounts
there will also be the consuHer de-
mand which usually shifts. Ifom old
onions to new just as soon as they
can be bought at a reasonable
price. There is nothing wrong with
present onion prices to hold up the

a huge organization work so har-
moniously and efficiently. "Of
course we have the cars, they are
priced right. and we have the or

the field to let the motoring pub
lie know the values we offer we
could not have created the re-

that is why we say there is senti-

DARBY AND JOAN FALL
OUT AFTER FIFTY YEARS

CHICAGO.-Darby and Joan
faced one another in a police
court here and in faltering accents,
their silver heads bent, told a pa
thetic story of ~quarreling after
fifty years of married life. Rob-
ert William Carlill, aged, 10 was
summoned by his 7l-year-old wife
for using threats. The old man
agreed wavering1y with the magis-
trate that it was a sad thing for
the couple to be thus confronting
one another in court, and the wife
nodded her head in assent.
GO home together" advised the
magistrate, land use the same toll
erance and love towards one an
other that you did when you went
to the altar fifty years ago."
Contentedly, apparently recon-
ciled, Darby and Joan went from
the court together.

2lST YEAR IS
HUDSON'S BEST
Everybody From Dealer To
Factory Works To Make
1t Happy Birthday

Is there sentiment in big bust
ness?
Executives of the Hudson Motor
Car company will tel you there is.
This is the coming Of age" year
of the company, during which it
will celebrate its 21st birthday.
Last year the executives planned
to make 1929 the biggest year in
the company's history, thus MAX
ing the majority year" a real cele-
bration. From the heads of de-
partments down to the men on the
production line; field service men,
distributors, dealers. statesmen and
service men, anne pledges to work
towards that end.
The first indication that the
pledge has been kept was officially
made known when thousands or
men from all over the country, and
from the overseas countries which
Hudson Essex serves. went to De-
troit to see what the engineers,
artists and workers at the factory
had done rs their part in that
program.
Pleased With Results
What they saw pleased them.
Hudson was introduced to them as
The Greater Hudson. 1t was more
beautiful, had higher standards Of
performance, was more economical,
faster, roomier, more comfortable
and had 81 improvements. Essex
was christened the Challenger, be-
cause, said the men who created
it, it could successfully challenge
anything in the field, in speed,
comfort, roominess, fast getaway,
brakes, economy, durability and
value. Essex the Challenger had
rs improvements.
The men who were to play their
