The court, too, was simple and d.

was deserving Of a little something

. New York, Dec. 15.-When most Of
the gay wayfarers have started for
their homes OF their favorite night
spots, the drama of real life begins
on one of Tie arteries that stretch
westward from the Gay White Way.
Here is Broadway's night court, and
the show runs from midnight until
morning. Comedy relief Is constantly
sandwiched between the major and
minor tragedies. And the wise ones
have learned that a better show is to
be e e here on most nights than In
any other Manhattan spot.
There will be stark realism; the
characters will screech. weep, faint,
wisecrack and laugh. There will be
hysteria and high comedy. In the
late crowd that crowds the courtroom
you'll find a scattering Of actors
watching the performances Of human
beings. You'll find ermine coats rub
bling against tattered coats: ladies of
fashion sitting beside street walkers
and gentlemen in tall hats sitting be-
side mugs who have just stolen a
hat.

just now the comedy is supplied
most frequently by the fantastic side
walk characters who happen to be
getting the hook" from the crowds.
For months the crowd-cluttered streets
at theater time have witnessed a gro
tesQue parade Of walking advertise
ments. Their purpose has been to
guide the crowds to b~urlesque shows
and side street vaudeville spots.
Bankers and ballyhoo shouters have

Football Under Fire
New York Tines

College football Is again sizzling on
its own gridiron. Criticisms aroused
by the fact-finding bulletin of the
Carnegie Foundation last year have
intensified until The Columbia Spec
tator. an undergraduate newspaper,
employs the word murder" to de-
scribe this years heavy record of
deaths in play. There are increasing
demands for changes in the rules. and
The Yale News has endorsed the sug-
gestion of the kickoff "tee" placed
back to the thirty-yard line. This
would enable the eleven kicking off
to get down the field under the high
ball and prevent the opposition from
forming the flying wedge" which has
resulted in many injuries.
Football does not lack its defend
ers. One Of the most vigorous is a
coach, MI. Meehan of New York uni
versiay. To changes growing out of
the Carnegie bulletin he ascribes re-
sponsibility for some Of the casual
ties. Spring practice was eliminated
in some colleges and schools. This,
he says, softened the teams, which
had to play schedules as long and as
hard as those of elevens which had
had the toughening process Of spring
practice. The logical conclusion Of
Mr.. Meehan'S argument Is that the
more emphasis placed on football, the
more intense and professional the
coaching and training system. the
fewer the injuries. What meanwhile
may happen to education and the pro-
portions Of college life, not being a
coach's affair. does not interest him.
But those concerned with putting
football In its place In the academic
world, and making it a safe game,
though not Mandy PANTY, would pre-
fer to retain the victories they have
won and to have another look at the
rules. Or. Naisrnith Of the University
Of Kansas believes that the insistence
OF coaches that linesmen keep their
heads up" until the instant Of impact
with their opponents is responsible
for broken necks.

ed, giving the adherents of the 1928
rule a greater percentage of pianolas,
hands that virtually play themselves.
Why standardize a very good game
of chance? One writer, commenting
upon the meddlesome experts, declares
that what should be a most interest
ing race is to be reduced to a parade.
II one set of rules is to dominate the
situation, then the game is reduced to
the level of chess in interest. If too
highly refined, then only the mathe-
matician will find delight and the day
may not be far distant when "con-
tract" will have the Technology Of
an exact science and laboratory for
mula will govern rather than nerve
and bluff"
Meanwhile, the average duffer" at
bridge takes heart. It provides no
armor for the shins but 1t is consola-
ton for the heart to know that even
the "big shots" make mistakes. To
learn that the great LEM obtains a
contract in Diamonds and then thinks
he is playing nc trump is a boon, in
deed.
A Bismarck man, studying OF
the hands in the battle of the cen
tury," on which the Culbertsons bid
five Diamonds and went down four
tricks, remarks:
If a pair Of high school kids bid
five Diamonds on a hand like that
you would feel like taking them out
behind the woodshed. These experts
can't be so hot after ALL"
Perhaps one result Of these contests
will be to stimulate self confidence
around q lot Of bridge tables and
build new faith in the old maxim:
THE way to win at bridge is to hold
q lot Of ices and kings"

The large round worm that gets in
to the bowels Of mankind is called
scientifically ascaris lumbricoides. The
condition is diagnosed when q careful
examination Of human excretions in
dicates the presence Of eggs Of the
worm in the excretions. One female
worm produces 30 many eggs that it is
not difficult for any physician to find
them, provided he looks for them. The
spreading Of worms from one person
to another or from animals to man
kind is a very interesting process.
Articles soiled with the excretions of
human beings are likely to contain
the eggs. When the eggs get into the
soil they resist cold and drying and
in case they happen to be present in
water or on food they are taken into
the body. When the eggs hatch the
embryos penetrate the walls Of the In
testines, get into the blood and reach
the lungs. From the lungs, the en-
byyos pass to the air passages, the
throat and the stomach and thus get
into the intestines.
The worms spread more readily un-
der conditions Of poor household sani-
tation and bad personal hygiene. 1t
is also quite likely that the infected
material is carried from one place to
another on shoes Of human beings

and on the feet of animals.
AS long as there are live female
worms in the intestines Of the human
being, the possibility Of eggs being
spread in the %excretions exists. This
is particularly the case since one fe-
male worm can produce 100000 eggs
a day. In the United States there
are certain regions in which infection
Of the human being with round worms
is more common than in others. These
regions in the southeastern United
States include West Virginia, south
west Virginia, eastern and central
Kentucky and Tennessee, western
North Carolina and northern Georgia
and Alabama.
Fortunately scientific medicine has
discovered a method of controlling
infestation with round worms. A lax
alive is administered, and following
this the patient is given oil Of cheno-
podium, which effectually destroys the
worms.

What One Coach Thinks

Support for those who feel that COL
lege football has become an. overem-
phasized game is voiced, tacitly at
least, by Chick Meehan, whose resig-
nation a gridiron boss at New York
university came as a surprise recently.
Meehan quit, apparently, because he
had enough Of a game which no
longer maintained his interest. He
can do other things besides coach
football teams and with as much
profit to himself.
When he resigned he vas not "un-
der fire" and he has the record of
the "Violets" in the front
ranks OF gridiron teams. His re-
marks, then, can hardly be labeled
"sour grapes" Here is what he says:
/, I'm through with the big gates and
high-pressure football. I have no
coaching plans and the only thing I
would accept along that line is a part
time position where the fun of the
game alone was important. I have
had no offers to coach anywhere.
I'm tired Of driving boys, cabling
them. berating them, driving them to
win, only to see them crack through
tiredness late In the season. The grief
In that kind of football is too great"
Those remarks draw the. picture
about as clearly as it can be pre-
scented in words. One feels in the
statement a sickness at heart over the
elimination Of sport And healthful
recreation in order to devise q spec
tacle.
1t may be said with some truth that,
occasionally, 1t is good for a boy to
be driven, cajoled and even bcrated,
but to drive them to the point where
they crack" never.
It is time for real lovers of sport
to do something about 1t before Amer
ica's great college game goes the way
Of the Roman gladiatorial contests.
