Editor Times-I hear the park
board has fixed the daily charge
for playing golf at Riverside at so
cents a day. What right has this
board to take great tracts of park
land and turn it over to a small
part of Our citizens and charge
practically nothing for it? I am
told that courses no better than
that north of Thirtieth street
charge 81 a day.
The city has spent many thou
sands OF dollars building this course
and others. There are 100 acres Of
land in this course, worth more
than 5000 an acre. Under proper
management, this course ought to
pay the city $4,000 year. What
is back of this?
I am told two members of the
board play at Riverside. Is this the
reason for this cheap rate? Golf
in private clubs costs members, with
their original Investment, their as
sessmentS and dues, from SIS to $40
a game. The city ought to charge
at least 81 on its best course and
let the members of the board play
on one of the cheaper courses or
give them passes, if they will do
what they ought to for the taxpay-
ers.
I believe If Mayor Sullivan rea-
lied what is going on he would
remove the men responsible for this
situation. I understand he Is q
golf player, but is in a club where
he is not putting the expense Of
his game on the taxpayers.
It is all right to make good
courses, and every course ought TO

SCIENCE
by DAVID DIETZ-
Formation of Ring Nebulae in
the Skies Is BelieUed Due
to Explosions of Stars.

THE explosion of stars! That is
Il the theory held by modern
astronomers to account for the for
nations of the ring nebulae.
The ring nebulae are among the
most peculiar objects to be seen in
the sky. They look like the smoke
rings blown by an expert cigar
smoker.
But it would have to be a gigantic
smoker to blow such rings. for the
diameter of these ring nebulae Is
milli0ns of miles.
There always is star at the CEN
ter of a ring nebulae.
And astronomers today believe
that the smoker" who blew the
ring nebulae in each case was this
central star.
Occasionally. what the astronomer
calls nova. or new star, bursts
forth in the heavens.
This, of course, is not really new
star, but simply dim or invisible
star which has burst forth into new
brilliance. Only a gigantic eXplo-
sion of the star could account for
such an increase in brillance.

Dark

TINE diffuse nebulae, as Just
Il stated, are great clouds of dust
and gaseous matter 1t is impoSsi-
BILE to estimate how many there are,
since many are dark and hence can
be detected only when they chance
to be between us and a part of
the sky thick with stars. Then they
become dark patches against the
background of bright stars.
This is one of the most spec
tacular facts brought to light in
the recent study of nebulae within
our own galaxy.
This fact also explains one Of
the visible diffuse nebulae in our
universe.
1t is known now that these nebu-
lac are exactly like the dark nebu-
lac and shine only by reflected star
light.
This is confirmed by a number
of facts.
First we always find stars involved
in these nebulae or located at con-
spicuous points near them.
Second. there always is definite
relationship between the brilliance
of the nebulae and the brilliance Of
these stars.
Third. the nature of the illumina-
ton Of the nebulae depend upon the
temperature of the stars In the
case of cool stars, we get mere
reflection from the nebulae.
But in the case of hot stars, the
nebulouS material seems to absorb
the light from the stars and then
as a result of this absorbed energy.
to radiate a different type Of light.
But most Of the nebulae in our
own universe are warm. AstronO-
mers believe now that all the dark
markings to be seen with the tele-
scope in the Milky Way consist OF
these dark nebulae which have got
ten between us and the stars in the
Milky Way.

and bureaus will destroy our form Of
constitutional government. If he
really believes that, he will vote
against the s5o,o0o,o 900 increase in
federal aid for highways. The an
nual appropriation for this bureau
has increased from 5000 600 in 1917
to SIS, 100000 in 1928. The present
bill makes it SIPS, 100000.
The law provides that the state

act of congress; it must have

than 10 per cent to be spent for en-
cheering, inspection and contin-
gencies; work to be subject TO the
approval of the secretary of agri-
culture, and finally the road must
be maintained by the state in de-

withheld.

 Only one game. Michigan vs. Chi cago, will have any bearing on the 193o championship, but each of the contests boasts a background rich in tradition The games, with starting dates of the series between the ri yals. follow:
 Purdue ys, Indiana. 1891.
 Michigan vs. Chicago, 1892.
 Wisconsin ys. Minnesota, 1895.
 Ohio State ys. Illinois. 1904.
 To all outsider, the Michigan-Chi. cago game is worthy Of note only because Michigan will be bidding for it's fifth successive Big Ten victory and a share of the 1880 title. and because 1t is one of the vests few charity" games. To alumni Of the two schools of the period preceding 1910 the game is the one big battle of the year.
 This year Chicago apparently has no chance for victory.
 Another famous rivalry will be re- ncved at Champaign. when Ohio State and Illinois battle for "llll- Buck" turtle maccot Of the gam Ohio State apparently has decdeI edge.
 The old OeNcn Bucket" will oc at stake when Purdue and Indiana meet for the twenty-third time. The competition between these two stat rivals is one Of the high spots of western football history.
 Wisconsin and Minnesota annual ly display their best football against each other. This year Wisconsin IS slight favorite.

HALFBACK IS DROPPED
Army's Football Squad Has Lost One of Its Best Stars Because of Rul- ing On Age.

West Point x. Y, Nov 19 Fi- Army's football squad has lost one of its best halfbaclls. Cyril Lotzclter Of Pittsburgh, former star at Car ncgie Tech.
 Letzelter was dropped from the army squad yesterday when military academy officials discovered he was over the age limit of 22 years when he entered the academy in July 1929.
 In hls application for admission, Lctzelter gave the date of his birth as Aug. s. 1907. Investigation has revealed however that he was born on Dec. 8. 1906, and thus was some months above the maximum age limit when he entered the academy. He told officials he had been raised from childhood by an uncle and aunt and always had understood the date of his birth was as given in his ap- plication.
 Accepting his statement. academy authorities decided to retain him as a cadet but they ruled it would be against the best interests of the academy" to allow him to partici- pate in any more varsity athletics.

.MACALUS0 LEADS
 EASTERN BACKS
Colgate Star Has Done All His
 Scoring Against Real Teams

New York, Nov. l9 (UP)-Forced 10 take a humble place in the rum be seat for another football season. the cast has produced. nevertheless. some hig'. class backfeld stars who measure well up to standards of former and more glorious years.
 The outstanding back on eastern gridirons has been Les Macaluso of Colgate, who is leading the country in scoring. This great ball carrier, t 200-pounder Of rather ferocious appearance, has done his scoring against real ball clubs, also.
 Four touchdowns each againTt Syracuse, Penn State and Columbia speak graphically of the Colgate stars line smashing ability.
 Little Albic Booth of .ale IS rightly rated by many critics as the best all-around quarterback in the cast. While ,ho Eli machine has not been able to get Albie away on those breath-taking runs which made him such a sensation last fall. Booth has been contributing bril- liant defensive play to keep Yale In the forefront of eastern clevens.
 The most consistent ground gain CT in the east has been Frank Hood of Pittsburgh. who has been aver aging about five yards q try agains, first class elevens. In addition. Hood is q great forward passcr, haV- ing made several accurate heaves that have measured GO and 70 yards.
 Ralph Hewitt of Columbia has been q "one-man team this season, and if the Lions had been able to give him a modicum of support he might have won himself national recognition as great back. His playing against Cornell was positive ly phenomenal, including q 53-yard drop kick which was among the best field goals on record
 Princeton, with team which achieved one of the worst records in Tiger history, had two good backs in TriX Bennett and Jack James. They proved their worth in the final analysis when they tore the Yale line to shreds last Saturday.
 New York's best were Jimmy Murphy of Fordham and Bob Me Namara of New York University, I pair of fine, versatile backfeld stars for anyonc's money.
 But when eastern baclltield stars are being discussed, the name of Phil O'Connell of Holy Cross must be right up with the leaders. This youngsters brilliant passing beat Harvard last Saturday, and stamped him as q second Benny Friedman it starting an aerial offensive.
 Bart Niviano of Cornell, q sopho- more. Johnny Scalzi of Georgetown. Bill Morton of Dartmouth, Dick Gentle, Pcnn's captain, Lou kirn of the Navy, Ray Stecker of the Army, and the old familiar Hinkle of Buck nell arc backs who must be given l great big hand this season.

 4 STIFF BATTLE
Notre Dame Will Be Put to the
 Test Saturday Afternoon

south Bend, Ind. Nov. 19 (CP)- Eo're Dame ahead at half time, and then bruising battle through the final periods to protect it's lead that's knutc Eocline's version of the Notre Damc-N c-Northwc@tern football game Saturday as forecast today 10 the United States.
 With Joe Savoidi in there" said EOCkne. i've would have won by d touchdown or two. But with Savoldi out. we might not be able to stave otI their powerful attack in that final half. ] think we can get out in front, but l don't know how long well be able 10 atay there. North western has power enough to weak e. most any team down. That's no" they beat Wisconsin. They may Go us the same way"
 When Rockne secuted the North western Wisconsin game last week, i. was the first time since 1926 that hc had personally looked over T. team in action before a game with his team. In that year he secuted Army and found a weak spot i'll the Cadets line. One perfect play with Chris Flanagan getting through that weak place in the line and running some n or so yards for d touch down won for Notre Dame, ' 10 Q.
 Although Rocknc would not flatlv Say 90. he intimatcd to tho writer that he believes he has found . lul- ncrable spot in the EorthwcotcrH team.
 Either Frank Baker, Northwest crn's acc end. or Wade Woodworth the spectacular guard, may be the player Rockne observed at fault against Wisconsin. It was Wood worth who failed 10 block when Greg kabat, Wisconsin guard, smashed through the Northwestern line and blocked a kick which en- &blcd Wisconsin to get a 10 Q lead over the Wildcats.
 As for Baker. Rocknc smiled at mention of his n2rlc and said; "Ill tell you about him Saturday night"
 Rockne continued to stress the less Of Savoldi on the ground that I was the Three Oaks. Mich. Italian who demoralizcd the opposition by his hard hitting.

Return to Harvard Lineup of Vet eran Back Brings New Note of EncOura&emcnt to Team.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. l9 UPp The return of Charley Devens to Harvard's lineup yesterday brought q new note of encouragem to Crimson supporters today.
 Thtc veteran back went through signals with the rest of the squad in Briggs baseball cage and did lttle else beyond getting himself ac- customed to the feel of the ball after his long absence from the gridiron. It was noted that Paul Pullman was at fullback in team A practice. His kicking against Holy Cross Saturday impressed Coach Arnold Horween.
 For the most part the Harvard squad looked fit.
