Dawn Mem

TN support of his theory, DR.. Os-
born advanced the fact that
chipped stone implements known
technically as eoliths have been
found in excavations with the los
sis of animals known to have eX-
listed in the Pliocene age, the age
preceding the glacial age.
These eoliths were found by Reid
Moir, an Englishman. DR. Osborn
said that Able Henri Breuil, noted
French archeologist, had recently
pronounced these Clipped stones as
undoubtedly true eoliths OF human
workmanship.
DR.. Osborn also contended that
the skull and jawbone found near
Piltdown in Sussex, England, and
constituting the So-called P1ltdoWn
man, were of Pliocene origin. There
has been considerable discussion as
to whether the rock layers in which
the Piltdown man was found. were
of Pleistocene or Pliocene age.
The Piltdown man has been
named Eoanthropus, which is Greek
for dawn man."
DR.. Osborn contended that the size
of the skull of the PiltdoWn man
indicated brain comparing favor
ably with the brain of present-day
man. From this fact, he deduced the
opinion that Piltdown man was able
to use implements and probably
spoke a language.
DR.. Osborn also expressed the be-
lief that the skull and other bones
found at Trinil, Java, and named
the Pithecanthropus, have been mis-
named. Pithecanthropus was also a
large Drained dawn man"

Both Are Dumb

.OVER-EMPHASIS of sport finds
" logical reaction in the over
emphasis of culture.
At one end of the line we have the
subsidized athlete, getting by on his

the bookworm, who considers it vul-
gar to toll with a dumbbe
One is about as bad o.. as the
other when it comes to fitness for
the struggle with modern life, but
both are being glorified as the best
products of our educational Sys-
tenn.
While one crowd yells itself hoarse
in the stadium, another is clamoring
over the necessity of dead classics.
The vast majority of boys and
girls who are not obsessed with the
ambition to become prodigieS in
either modern athletics Or ancient
literature, but who want the chance
to lead useful, decent lives, are left
out in the cold.
It is case of star-gazing all
round.

Took Unusual Course

II OJAC picked out Rutgers, where
~ he was promised nothing, but
where there was a good premedical
course.
In that respect, he probably can
be regarded as exceptional.
Most boys find it difficult to re-
sist the temptations thrown their
way, not because they are lazy, not
because they lack ambition, but be-
cause they have become infatuated
with the idea that pre-eminence in
sport must mean something of
great and permanent value.
Neither should they be blamed for
such all infatuation, since it was
put into their heads by older people,
and since the cheering crowds at
every game appear to confirm it.
The tragedy of the thing con-
sists not in the money squandered,
or the time wasted, but in the
false illusionment of youth.
Thousands upon thousands of
young men are coming out of our
schools and colleges every year, con-
tent in the belief that they have
made secure niche for themselves
in life by running, jumping, or cut
ting up other didoes in superior
way.
The shock of discovering that it
does not do them much good in a
business or professional sense, and
that they have bet on the wrong
horse, is doubly discouraging, be-
cause it might have been avoided
on the one hand, and because it
comes too late on the other.

Brain Ratio
DR. OSBORN denied that man

DR. OSBORN denied that man
- kind is in any way descended
from any of the existing great ape
stocks.
Evolutionists have never said that
man is a direct descendent Of any
of the existing apes.
They have commended, however,
that the great apes, the chimpanzee,
the gibbon, the orang and the ba-
boon, had sprung from the same
stock which gave rise to mankind
and that the division into these
various branches took place In the
not distant past, a matter Of 100000
or 100000 years ago.
DR.. Osborn maintained that mans
immediate ancestor was creature
very much like present-day man
whom he named the dawn man.
He said that mankind had COM
mon origin with the other NAM
malian stocks of the earth, but
insisted that the human stock
branched off at a much earlier
period than that usually conceded
by evolutionistS.
Dawn man, according to DR.. Os-
born, had his beginning as a sep
arate species even prior to Pliocene
time. He placed his beginning In
N1iocene time, the geological age
preceding Pliocene. According to
this, dawn man may have had his
beginning as much as 100000
years ago.
DR.. Osborne believes he is justi-
fled in assigning this long a period
Of development to the dawn man be-
cause of the relatively large skulls
of man in comparison to that of the
apes.
He pointed out that the ratio of
brain weight to body weight in man
is one to fifty, while in the gibbon,
the "brainiest" of the great apes,
the ratio is one to sixty-six. In the
gorilla, the ratio is one to $50.
DR.. Osborn also disagreed with
evolutionists who contend that the
development of the human race took
place in a wooded area. He believes
that mankind developed in a pla-
teau region of fiat grassy plains.

I could be old Horatius Broun

BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS

BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS
January s.
NN Jan. 8, 1915, the last battle
" of the War of 1912 between
the United States and Great
Britain was fought at Chalmette,
near New Orleans.
After failing to batter down the
American lines by cannonade, the
British, under Major Sir
Edward Pakenham, decided to try
an assault, which was made the
morning of Jan. 8.
The British attacked with spirit,
but were met with such a heavy
cannonade and with such a storm
of bullets from the rifles of Amer
lean troops, mainly backwoodsmen
from Tennessee and Kentucky, that
in less than half an hour 1000 men,
including Pakenham, were shot
down, and the assault failed.
The American loss was but eight
killed and thirteen wounded.
The battle helped to quicken the
vet feeble sense of American ma
tionality.

It's Different in u. S.

DRESIDENT LOWELL refers to
l. the Greek idea of sport as OPP
posed to the Roman idea, with the
justifiable inference that most peo-
pie would favor the former, if they
understood the difference.
Most people do not understand
the difference, largely because this
is neither Greece nor Rome.
Most people feel that while Amer
lea can borrow ideas here and there
from the past, it can not remodel
the present structure to fit them.
Greece and Rome were unac-
quainted with the blessings Of foot
ball, or baseball, just as they were
unacquainted with those of the au-
tomobile, jazz and the skyscraper.

What is the most extraordinary
play ever executed in football?
This is somewhat a matter of
opinion, but possibly one of the most
unusual plays ever executed was
the sixty-yard run in the wrong
direction, made by Bill Riegels, CEN
ter on the California university
team, in a game against Georgia
Tech, Jan. l, 1929. A historic trick
play occurred in the Carlisle-Har-
ward game of Oct. 81, 1908, in which
the ball was secretly slipped beneath
the back of Charles Dillon'S jersey,
which had been specially prepared
for the purpose and Dillon ran past
the whole Harvard team los yards
for a touchdown to win the game
Such a play is now barred by the
rules.

cast votes in favor of junior senator and thus vio
lated the seniority rule.
II will be recalled that the senate is pretty well
controlled by committees, which in turn in most
controlled by the old guard The secret of this
old guard control is of course the unofficial seniority
rule under which length of service determines
ber'S committee rights.
The old guard tried to put Senator Thomas the
finance committee, despite the fact that Thomas had
not requested the place and is junior to La Toilette
who had requested it,
Only the willy Smoot, apparently, was calm enough
to realize that although the progressves for once
would profit by the seniority rule, to overthrow that
rule probably would end in complete rout of the old
guard. SO Smoot refraned from voting thus dead
locking the committee on committees.
On more legitimate grounds-those of representa-
ton of the progressive group and those of his own
personal fitness for finance committee membership
La Toilette deserves the place The old guards oppo-
sition to him, therefore, be understood.
But it will be interesting to see whether the cd
guard will dare tinker with the seniority system which
hitherto has perpetuated reactonary power in the
senate

One finds it easier not only to

Most problems, when you come to

Kojac tells how his education ap-

made a good athletic record in
high school, how he was invited to
attend this or that college, how he
received letters, kilograms, and even
personal visits from prominent
alumni, and how it was intimated in
one way or another that he could
get by with little cash and jilst as
little study.
He tells how he became suspicious,
because the thing seemed too good
to be true, and how, after think

college, he would better forego the

exchange for his presence as an
