WOLVERINES NOW
bow TO MICHIGAN
Traditional lnieriority Complex
Is Dispelld

East Lansing. Mich, Jan. 10 @-
Michigan State college has gone 4
long way in recent athletic battles
with the University Of Michigan to.
ward Graduating the traditional in-
feriority complex it has held out
toward the powerful Wolverines.
Perhaps the arrival OF Harry
Kipkc. former Michigan all-America
football player. as head coach Of
football at Michigan State inspired
the Spartans to concede defeat to
the Wolverines only when defeated.
At any rate the germ OF confidence
has made its way into the Michigan
State athletic camps.
The first great shock to Michigan
came when Michigan State held the
WolverineS to a 0 to 8 score in the
annual football game at Ann Arbor
last fall. Had Michigan State been
blessed with q sure scoring play the
game would have gone into the
records as defeat for Michigan, for
the Wolverines were clearly out
played.
On the same day Michigan had
it's football scare, the championship
Michigan State cross country team
took the Wolverines down the line
by 4 score OF 20 to 80. And this in
the face Of the fact that the winner
OF the meet Captain Louren r,
Brown Of State ran 4 quarter of 4
mile off the course.
Finally Michigan State sent its
fashy little basketball team against
Michigan in the first game of the
season and left the floor the victor
by a 81 to "a margin. Michigan
led at the half, but State came back
to score a decisive victory.

PRIVATELY OWNED AIRPORTS

While cities everywhere are
specializing how to acquire airports
in order to keep up with advancing
aviation. the principle Of privately
owned airports attains much mo-
mentum. As cities hesitate about
furnishing the funds for purchase
of the land private capital. seeing a
possibility OF profit, is willing to
step In. buy the land and furnish
the field, and charge airplanes what
they would regard reasonable price
for landing privileges.
The situation is similar in prin-
ciple to municipal wharves and pri-
vately owned wharves in the ports
OF the country. A tramp steamer
can use municipal wharf-if there
is room-either free OF charge or
upon payment of small fee to the
city; or 1t can pay 4 fee to the owners
of a privately-owned wharf. In most
cities both types Of wharves do
business virtually side by side.
The airport situation in New York
City is particularly difficult: but

ficulties facing municipal airport de-

haitian.
One wonders what the municipal
airport boosters were doing while
this private company got the site.
Those who maintain there Is 4
superiority in private enterprise over
civic enterprise here have something
to gloat about.
If privately-owned airports can be
made to pay there seems no reason
why private companies should not
be induced to provide airports for
the multitude of cities which so far
have been unable to find the money
to provide them. The airplane trans
portation industry Is q private In
dustry and profits are at least antici-
pated in the course of its further
development. Already many people
are beginning to wonder whether 4
city is obligated to furnish a free
landing field for private air trans
port concerns. If, however. airplanes
in the future become commonly
owned by individuals. municipal pro-
vision for landing fields might be
essential: except if the notion gains
ground that folks able to afford air
planes ought also to be able to az
ford airport rental charges to private
airport owners.
So far as New Britain is concern
ed, we have no hopes at this writing
that the board of finance and taxa
ton will see course open to provide
funds for such field this year. We
feel it in cur bones that the primers
are going to be remarkably efficient.
