Yesterday 1t was even money; today is was Tulane. This shift in public opinion followed hard upon the arrival of the Tulane team and the vanguard of more than 2000 Louisiana packers. each and every one willing, yea eager. to support the New orlenas outfit with some thing more negotiable than words.
 The old Confidence
 Tulane's delegation arrived in Athens confident that the unbeaten and united green wave would roll over Georgia, make it sea-sick, and proceed not only to the southern championship, but . commanding place in the national landscape as well.
 Tulane's record is as good-look- ing as the men who made It. Mis- sissippi was the first to fall, then Texas Aggies, Springhill (the one soft touch on the schedule), Van derbilt, Georgia Tech, the Missis- sippi Agies and Auburn.
 Even under wraps. Tulane show ed it's power. In these seven games Tulane cracked across 33 touch- downs for 216 points, against seven points for the enemy.
 They Can Do Things
 The Tulane backs--and what a sweet collection of ball luggers they are-have averaged 4.b yards every time they headed for home. You might just as well try and sell Ghandi a racoon coat as sell Iui- ane rooters the idea that Georgia s line will be able to check the ad- vance of Don Zimmerman. Francis Payne, Lowell Dawson and Nollie Papa" Felts.
 They will tell you that Georgia may stoD Zimmerman by playing wide but that when Georgia goes wide "Papa" Felts will buck the Georgians silly, and even If Geor- gia should manage to stop Kimmer- man and Felts, there still will be Payne and Dawson and half dozen other classy reserve backs to deal with.
 Man for Man
 The game Saturday is likely to be one of tho greatest exhibitions of backfield strength the country has seen in years. Georgia can come pretty close to matching Zimmerman, Felts. Dawson and Payne with Downes. Ro berts. Mott. Chandler and Key, and ike Tulane, Georgia has a wealth or top-fiIght reserves.
 The game Is likely to be decided in the line. And at this writing there doesn't seem to be a nickle's worth of difference In the two forward walls.

STANFORD 'OLD
 TIMERS TACKLE
 BIG FEED AT W. H.

Washington, Nov 13.-(UP)- Thirteen white -haired gridiron vet erans of the championship Leland Stanford university squad of 'e4 sang college songs, yelled and played football on the lawn of the White House last night.
 The business manager of the team-"Bert" Hoover-looked on and smiled.
 These erstwhile football stars had gathered from widely scatter ed sections of the world to attend a reunion dinner in the state din- ing room of the White House as guests of President Hoover.
 Did Their Stun.
 To the tune of clicking cameras, they went through end runs, blocked, passed and punted q brand new pigskip about the grounds in an impromptu game.
 The men were induced to give a stanford yell. led by Will Irwin. the writer. He admitted he used to be @ cheer leader in his under graduate days.
 one old timer hummed Q few of the school songs. The president held q football inscribed "Stan- ford, '94" while pictures were taken.
 CelebratOrs Dc Luxe
 Then the team adjourned to the state dining room. The usual formality of White House func- tons was forgotten as they sang songs of their alma mater. An orchestra played while the "oid timers" talked over their college days.
 All but three of the first string Stanford eleven of 1894 attended the stag dinner. Charles Fickert, attorney for the California state board of health, came part way here by plane, but was forced by bad weather to continue on a train and did not arrive In time for the function.

Inane Legislation

The plan to take control of the state police department from the hands of one com missioner and place it in a triple headed com mission has nothing to recommend 1t to the ordinary citizen. It is perfectly inane piece of legislation and has all the earmarks of one more political attempt upon the part of the republican party to strip Governor Wilbur L. Cross. democrat of whatever powers he now possesses as chief executive. Why the state treasurer or the attorney general should have anything to do with the state police department is more than we can understand. We challenge anybody. republican or demo- crat, to give one sound reason why these two officials should compose two-thirds of the commission to run the state police. depart ment.
 These two commissioners with one other appointed by the governor would meet before July l and appoint commissioner of state police They would not meet again until this commissioner presented his annual report. Within ten days of receipt of this message they would meet to consider this report solely. In between times the department would be run as the commissioner chose. He would not be responsible to his three superiors in any way as far as we can see. He certainly would not take orders from them. because they can't do anything but make one appointment and con- slider one report.
 It's obvious that We don't need such triple-headed commission which does abso- lutely nothing that the governor can't and doesn't do today. And it's likewise obvious that the bill aecomplishes but one purpose. IL prevents a democratic governor from naming democratic state police commissioner as Gov ernor Cross did recently. The bill has not re. ceived any public support in the Legislature to date. but it might just happen to be one of those measures which very unobtrusively slip through legislative channels until they are on the statute books. If republican legislators give it their support. they will eer- tainly be rebuked at the polls in l932.

Republicans Out of Step

Action of both houses of the Legislature last week in adopting measure which will repeal provision of the New Haven charter permitting nomination of judges of the city court by the governor is still causing com ment around the state. Practically everyone republican or democrat. is convinced that the former party failed to take many things into consideration when it allowed itself to be made part of so partisan display of politics here IS nothing 10 recommend the bill to the average citizen. When it was first enacted it was done by republican legislators. Through the years that the statute has been in effect tbere has been found no fault with it. It is obvious that republican legislators do not want a democratic governor 10 appoint the New Haven judges.
 Heretofore. New Haven's judges had been named as are those the state supreme court and the superior court benches also judges of the court of common pleas. The governor makes the nomination and the le2ls- ture either approves or disapproves it. We can recall only few instances where the Legislature failed to concur with the gover- nor in his judicial appointments of recent years. So eminent jurist as tbe late Simeon
  nation by the governor and election by the General Assembly should govern municipal court appointments too. The same idea was also contained in tbe district court plan which was recently rejected by the Legsla- ture on the ground that Connecticut IS town minded
 The Hartford Courant in condemning the legislative action on the New Haven judge ships remarked that It is pretty late in the day for the General Assembly to discover that the amendment 10 the New Haven charter which former Legislature approved is un- constitutional and that during all these years the judges of the New Haven court have been acting without constitutional authority z" However the time is propitious for such things 10 be uneauhed Republican legis- lators have been allowed loose rein SO long that they find it hard 10 curb themselves when given the chance to display how petty can be their politics.
 As the Hartford Courant goes on 10 say, The Constitution has not been upset. over ridden or degraded by the method of appoint ing the judges of the New Haven court, method which previous republican governors and previous republican legislatures have &C., cepted as entirely right and proper. Neither tbe New Haven charter amendment nor the law passed by the Legislature giving validity to ibat amendment says anything obout the method being applicable to republican gover- ncfs only. When the legislature places any such construction on it. as in effect it does. t E only making itself ridiculous. It has n- vitsd 2 veto message from tbe governor which

Alcohol and Liyers

Alcohol doesn't hurt the liver. if it's pure. So Dr. F. B. Mallory an authority on liver diseases. tells the American Association of Pathologists and Bacteriologists. It has long been taught that excessive indulgence in alcohol of any grade tends 10 produce cir rhosis of the liver T have kept hogs drunk for l 5 years in an effort to find out what impurities in alcohol cause cirrhosis, says Dr. Mallory. T am certain that pure alcohol bas no deleterious effect on the liver
 So that questions settled - at least until some other authority unsettles it. Moon shine is apt to cause pigment crrhosis, ae- eording to Dr. Mallory. because of the copper which gets into the product from the still. Copper is deadly poison to the liver.
 Now some authority should explain what part of the human organism pure alcohol does poison; for people have been known 10 die of alcohol produced by the best dstillers. before prohibition. At present that is pure ly academic question because there isn't any pure alcohol outside of drug stores. It's queer. though. how many human beings are experimenting with themselves the way that Dr Mallory has done with those hogs

Between Rounds

With the closing of today's hearing on the question of city manager form of government for Waterbury before the general assembly in Hartford, the case. as 1t were. will rest until the appointed committee of state legis- lators decide for or against the necessity for such action. However, while the forces are marking time between now and the time whatever verdict may be rendered by the legislative committee it might be well for those citizens who are honestly interested in Waterbury and it's future welfare; those citizens who take pride in their city and have confidenee in.its citizens to separate the wheat from the ehaf in the present controversy.
 On the one hand we find small group of dissatisfied and disgruntled citizens and we say that because they neither have faith in past, present or future men to eome-banded together to try and overthrow the form of government under which Waterbury has risen during the last three quarters of century to its present prosperous proportions The fact that no one executive during that long span of years seems to have come up to their ex- pcctations rather confirms in us the idea that their supposed interest in Waterbury IS not so much in the city as in themselves In word it narrows down to the very thing they arc decry- ing almost 10 heaven daily. namely. partisan ship. only under another guse. This group thirsts for power rather than the good it would do and anyone who believes differently is no judge of human nature. Such being the under lying motif. it is sincerely hoped that the general assembly will interpret it as such.
 On the other hand Waterbury is largely composed of solid element of substantial citizens. not so prone perhaps to rail and rant but long sighted and far-mnded enough 10 sec that conditions are not half aa bad as painted. and even if they were. can and will be reetifed in time. Furthermore. they have moro confidence and sympathy for their friends and neighbors than 10 inflict upon them plan that would unload any old Tom.

Such a man with such salary could scarcely listen to the vast ma jority when he would be working for select few. He couldn't afford to. He lose his fat job. And we don't know as we would blame him. for that would be all he was after ---thc money. No we cannot how any thinking person in Waterbury. if he is in his right senses. can see anything praiseworthy in the city manager plan. The reason for those moving heaven and earth for the change is too self-evident. paint the lily as they will.

THE EXPOSURE OF pAsTEURs cnIcKENs

l Once in while some writer speaker pur-
 porting to be an authority or 10 be the voice
 of authority does condescend tO offer an ex- | planation of that elusive state called lowered ! resistance" The young lady who holds the posi- ton of health education director with q western state tuberculosis association recently got off
 some crisp stuff for the papers of the state. She was emphatic about the way In which expo sure 10 wet feet and drafts renders one more susceptible to infection that one newspaper man.
 officer in his state editorial association, asked her to enlightcn him further. She explained that she used the terms Immunity" and "re- sisancc' interchangeably they are often used in the field of bacteriology and biology. But she added that the word immunity refers to more resistance 10 q certain disease. So we are left 10 assume if wish that the young lady concelves the term resistance 10 refer to kind of general immunity against many or all dis eases.
 Then she finished off the newspaper man by citing the experiment of Pasteur and the hens. ! Pasteur inocuated hens with anthrax and found they did not develop the disease. But he soaked n hen in cold water long enough to bring the fowls temperature down to that of mamals, and then Pasteur able to produce anthrax in the hen This famous experiment of the great scientist is often cited by those who would have us believe exposure to cold and wet lowers re- sistancc increases susceptibility to colds" Of course II proves nothing of the kind and pasieur remotely suggested any such thing. There is analogy between the ordi- nary every day exposure of every man. woman or child that lives and this unnatural experi- ment. No one seriously contends that ordinary exposure to cold and wet lowers the body tenn pcrature even a fraction of degree. The old timers who ctte Pastcur's experiment. in the at- tempt to fortify their absurd position simply presuming upon the chdshness of their audience for anybody who knows even the his- tory of Pasteur's life and work can see through the little trick in instant.
 Having served Pasteurs frozen hen, the young lady permits herself to become slightly facetious She cites one Dr Cummings q fancy from the context 1t is none other than Old Dr Cumming surgeon general of the U. $. r. II. S) who said in the Journal of the National Education citation last November !: Probably this (that is making ourselves less susceptible to colds) is best accomplished by permitting the body to become accustomed to conditions which seem to favor the development of cold, such as sudden and marked changes in the weather undue exposure to dampness, and similar con- dltionss' Page Mark Twain. Here's n bird who proposes to do something about the weather or else to stop doing it
 Finally, the young lady makes strong text appeal to the newspaper man by admitting that there doubt people, as she knows very well from personal experience who do not get colds after exposure. Yes. and likewise there are some who do not get murdered after croon- ing on the radio.

The Slave-Driving Brain

Perhaps It IS not mere perversty that drives the American people at such swift pace through life. Dr. George w. Grille. renowned surgeon and medical scientist. suggests that it may result from development of the frontal lobe of the brain where the heavy thinking is done. The animals, according 10 Dr. Crlle. are far superior to us in sight smell, strength fleetness. and in many other respects. Only in the higher organ are we superior and in the development of this organ lies the secret of our domination.
 Our leaders and our greatest thinkers, be- cause their lower organs are driven 10 more activity by the highly developed higher organ. are more subject to high blood pressure, goiter and other ailments. Man in sense is the victim of his own civilization This driving force may and often does wear out the entire physical mechanism" This may cause reac- ton against thinking. People will attribute their physical miseries 10 heavy brain work and give up the latter. Or, in time, mankind may become accustomed 10 this comparatively new process of thinking and may learn how to indulge in it without putting the physical mechanism out of order.
