The BrooklanderS do not have tC
stretch their memories to any
great extent to remember many
instances during the last Fall of
schools that have seemingly been
far stronger than their opponents,
only on the day of the game to
find that their opponents for one
reason or another had such a
lease on life that the afternoon
was anything but pleasant.
Coach Jack McAuliffe and his CO.
horts are not very desirous of winding
up a good season that way.
George Washington has nothing to
lose and 1t has everything to gain by
making good showing against the
Brookland eleven. The squad has a re-
spite of 10 days, from its last game un-
til Thanksgiving, and Buff and Blue
supporters are hoping against hope
that it is being used in such a way
as to produce effectiveness. Anyway.
followers of the eleven will go to watch
the hope that their team may do some
thing worth while.
Georgetown can at least take some
comfort for its game with Detroit this
week in the fact that that school can
be whipped. The Oregon Aggies, last
year the nemesis of New York Univer-
Sity, made the journey from Oregon to
Detroit and won by touchdowns to l..
That Georgetown'S task against Detroit
Is anything but easy may be gauged
from the fact that Detroit beat West
Virginia University, So to 0.
Somebody sent out press notice that
the University of Maryland squad is

the members of the squad would agree
with that entirely. not when they
glance back at their activities Sat-
urday. The Marylanders went through
an hour of scrimmage on a field COW
cred with a light fall of snow and with
snow falling most Of the time. 1t was
cold and disagreeable under any con-
dftions, but doubly so when Hopping
around in the sluSh and mud on half
frozen ground. Maryland players are
wondering what is going to be done
this week If that is taking it easy.
Bad conditions Friday and Saturday
faced virtually every gridiron squad in
the section. It rained or showed inter-
mittently and made handling of a foot
ball anything but pleasant, and made

were played under these conditions,
and it is lucky, indeed. that teams got
through them as well as they did.
Sometimes 1t actually is a source of
wonder how elevens are able to play
such good foot ball on muddy fields
and with ball that at best is not easy
to handle accurately.
Harvard not only defeated Yale. but
press accounts of the game indicate
Yale Is rather fortunate that the score

.RINGLE'S SO POINTS
PLACES HIM SECOND

Johnny Ringle's two touchdowns
against Shepherd College put the Gal
laudet captain in second place behind
Marsters of Dartmouth in the standing
of grid point scorers in the East. Ringle
has SO points and Marsters 108. Both
have finished the campaign.
Hinkle's failure to penetrate the Ford
ham defense left him in tie with
Dowler of Colgate, who did not play.
Each has 78 points, l point fewer than
Niles Of Lowell Textile, whose season
has closed.
Dowler has one game left, against
Brown, which could hardly yield him
the five touchdowns he needs to tie
Marsters. but there is just possibility
that Hinkle may cross the line five or
six times against Dickinson in his final
game Thanksgiving day.

At that, this should be the method
of approaching the game, without the
well known overemphasis and the hys.
terra. But this Is not the attitude OF
either the players or the spectators.
From the point Of view OF attendance,
do not think a game involving the
All-American team would draw as
many spectators as, say, the Yale-Har-
ward or the Notre Dame-Army game.
OF course, this discussion is even
more futile than the picking OF an
All-American team or the selection
Of a mythical championship college
team. In a rash moment some tine
back I agreed to act as one OF
Jury to select the mythical cham
Toions. the coach of the team to be
given the Erskine award. I suppose
that I will have to go through with
that, but ! think that Immediately
afterward I had better embark IN
cognito for parts unknown to Dodge
the ire of the old grads of some OF
the other colleges.
There are numbers of unbeaten teams
in the East, the Corn Belt, the PACING
Coast and the South. There are Puts
burgh in the East, Purdue in the Md
die West, Tennessee in the south ana
California on the Pacific Coast. There
Is. of course, Notre Dame, unbeaten al
ali point Of the compass. And at Ford
ham they are pointing to the fact that
the Maroon team has yet to brush the
dust from the seats Of its foot ball
trousers.
Before the season started Mr.. Knute
Rcckne Of Notre Dame, violating all
the canons of foot ball coaching, an
nounced that Notre Dame would have
a good foot bali team this year. II
seems now that he exercised too much
repression. The Notre Dame team OF
1929, so far, is not merely good-n Is
perfect.
Last year, after the defeat of New
York University by the oregon
Aggies and the decisive defeat OF the
Army by Stanford University from
the Pacific Coast. there was a gen.
eral notion that they bred better and
bigger foot ball players on the coast
than they did in any other part OF
the far-fiung foot ball recruiting ter
ritory, and that they played better
foct ball there. It was the climate,
or something.
My notion Is that there is nothing in
that. In the World War the troops

two of them packed with all the ele-

thankful he is alive, will ring down the
curtain this week on the most spec.
tacular campaign the Southwest Con-
ference has seen.
Headlining the week will be the
championship fray Saturday at Fort

Frogs will be seeking their first title,
the Methodists their third. The de-
mand for tickets to the colorful strug-
gle already has exceeded 10000.
Some $4,000 fans will swarm into
College Station Thanksgiving day for
the annual bout between those ancient
rivals, Texas University and the Texas
Aggies. 1t will be the first time In
many day that the Longhorns and
Cadets have clashed without one or the
other playing for the title. Tradition,
however, says 1t, Is the game to attend,
and they will have their audience from

MEXICO CITY, November as
Having concluded his duties of coach
ing the University of Mexico foot ball

season Of foot ball ever played in Mex

from one section of the country were
quite as good as those from any other
section. Superiority in foot ball seems
to be largely a matter Of chance. Any
frank coach will tell you that In some
years he gets good material and IN
Others not so good. There Is no really
bad material for foot ball any more
than there Is any bad material Tor

But to get down to the matter OF
selecting the mythical championship
team for this Erskine Award. Foot
ball Is the one game where the stats.
tics do not count. There Is no way
In which anybody can get mathe-
matical line on the strength OF
foot ball team. / doubt II there
would be even II the college foot
ball teams, like the big league base
ball teams, played 154 games year,
which would be physically impossible.
The argument In favor of the annual
selections for the mythical All-America
team is that being picked for it Is in
the nature of citations for the players
who are named. In the crowded loot
ball season there are many players who
may have earned citations. but who re-
main uncited, as 1t were, just as In the
war business there are many soldiers
who have earned citations, but who get
nothing. Even II there were enough
experts to go over all the teams, 1t
would be hard to see some OF the great
work of the players who are playing
only for the team and as parts Of the
machine.

Misguided Patriotism

over in Ohio a nurse trained to care for the sick
and injured, devotng her life to the profession of
medical missionary is refused citizenship in this
country because she would not take oath that she
would actively bear arms for this country if another
war should
She was ready to affirm that she would contribute
her services and her Abilities best she could but
was not that she would be physically able to carry
a'rfe and kill
She was ready to act as a nurse at the front She
was willing if emergency needed to do anything with
in her power except perhaps to kill another human
being.
If there is episode Of greater asininity or mis-
guided patriotism it has been carefully concealed.
It is rather shocking to face the fact that the gov
eminent as now administered finds it necessary to
assure itself that its women will fight in the next war.
That ought to give some impetus to any movement
that will abolish Even the most savage of tribes
leave their women in camps when they go to conflict.
Even the most uncIvzed of peoples have left their
fighting to the male
Apparently the United States, dedicated to the
principle of equality between the sexes except to
wages for work, believes that the women must fight,
go to the trenches, face the machine guns and the
cannon in order to qualify as citizens.
AS to the necessity of demanding that either man
promise to fight in the event of war, as the
price of citizenship there is at least division of
opinion.
Certainly such demand imposes stronger respon-
sibtes upon the seeker of citizenship than it does
upon the native born. The draft law provides for
the exclusion from combatant service of any person
who had conscientious scrupes against That law
still safeguards the freedom of conscience although
the naturalization courts allow such. latitude

the name of patriotism. To refuse nurse welcome

Politics and Business

Business is business. The trader throughout all
history has preceded the representative of political
government into strange countries. Whoever has
goods to sell does not bother his head about the re-
ligous or political opinions Of possible customers
That's their business and none of his.
Many of us do not like the Soviet government But
that's the political business of the people of Russia
It's none of ours Certainly the standard Oil Company,
the International Harvester Company, the American
automobile manufacturers and other American
traders didn't care darn about the political theories
Of anybody who had perfectly good sold and good
credit with which TO pay for his goods.
So if President Hoover isn't scared speeches., as
some Of his predecessors seemed to be- by the Boshe-
vk bugaboo and thinks the people Of this country are
immune to propaganda and do their own think

Business is nonpartisan, has no religious creed is

Right To Work

President Hoover intends to put the federal farm
board right to work Monday when it holds its first
meeting to carry out provisions of the farm relief act
He intends to lay the grain marketing situation
before the board and urge that steps be taken to
take care of the vast eXportabe surplus that has been
built I'D by the bumper crop this year and the large
carry-over from last season.
If the President can get the farm board into &C
ton this summer and save the wheat market he VIII
perform almost an agricultural miracle 80,
Most farmers had given up hope of assistance from
the board for at least another year They had anci-
pated most of this season would be taken up in or
ganizaton and collecting data.
The wheat problem is by far the most pressing
It is having an effect upon cotton and other crops
The first step toward governmental aid was that
of the interstate commerce commission asking rail-
roads to reduce freight rates and provide cars to move
the surplus wheat to ports for export.
The movement began. Then it appeared that ele-
vators at the ports were OVERLOOKING with wheat and
there weren't ships enough to transport it or sufficient
foreign demand to dispose of it.
Hoover was asked to provide ships He replied that
he would appeal to the board at its first meeting to
face the wheat problem.
Two courses confront the board when it meets.
One Will be cautious program that will preserve the
s5oOOoOOoo revolving fund authorized by congress to
assist the farmer The other will be a quick dramatic
step to stabilize farm prices which might involve
great financial risk and might disspate the revolving
fund.
It is not an easy alternative But then, there is
nothing easy about the farm problem The test of
the board will be its ability to meet just such crisis
as that in wheat today.
