Pessimism in college football, es- pecially among the coaches, has zone out of style. When Gil Doble was turning out undefeated teams at Cornell, his consistent pessim- ism always furnished some good copy and comic relief. It seemed good psychology for MT. Dobie tc say he expected his sized if not actually under-nourished Phi Beta Kappa boys to be slaugh- tered by Dartmouth, Pennsylvania or Columbia. If Kaw and Pfann happened to run trifle wild, as they did most of the time, Gloomy Gil lifted astonished eyebrows.
 Other coaches quickly caught or. absorbing some of the Gildobian in- fluence. But the consistent fail- ures of Dobie's Cornell teams in recent years altered the situation. The ballyhoo now is in favor of optimism. Even Cornellians, who enjoyed the general laugh over Dobie's pessimism few years ago, have swung around to thinking that it is not so good after all. At any moment the veteran coach O, the Iticans may sally forth hin- self with something approaching optimism over the prospects TOT 1929.
 In the gym one afternoon l asked Babe Ruth about some of the re- ports, current then as now. tnas he was near the stage of retire ment.
 "Blankety blank" he replied, In effect. T wish these birds would lay off that stuff. Say, kid, when am through or ready to quit, everybody will know it."
 This seems fair enough.

AinSworth of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South yesterday characterized
the excitement" over the recent en-

Representative at White House recep-

The bishop. who is on leave from his
post in the Orient, said that from the
first years of American history the
President and his wife have entertained
members of Congress and their wives
as we'll as the Representatives of all
foreign governments.
such occasions, while social, are not
personal, but official. During these years,
every color of human being from lily
white to ebony black, and all that lies
between, has been entertained at the
White House and by every occupant
thereof 1t is nothing new"
There Is no more justification for
the exclusion of black man and his
wife from such a function than there
is to exclude a red, yellow. brown or
white one. The President and his wife
do not select any of them; the con-
stituency does"
