Or words to that effect.
+ Campus Editors Speak
Immediately, from Brown to
Oklahoma and from Yale }
Georgia, the campus editors too,
typewriter in hand and knocked
out pieces for their respective
>mpus journals.
It is just as logical, or illogical
Gas you wild, to accept what the
youthful Harris haI written it
to accept what any of the other
campus editors or reporters lave
written.
Likewise, it is just as logical
or illogical. to accept what street
car conductors may ,riSe about
the state of the pubic health as
it is to accept what camprT edi-
tors write about some 40 deaths
on widely separated gridirons.
Observations CIOuded
It would appear that the two
fields are a bit wide. even for
street car conductors and campus
editors. 1t is not denied that both
have opportunities to observe.
The question seems to be one in
relation to the quality of the OBJ
servationS.
In physical contact games, par
ticularly boxing and football,
three factors are more often than
not discovered among the direct
or contributing causes OF injuries
and fatalities. They are: Cd
Poor physical condition; 90 lack
of skill; and 90 overmatching.
College football players are not
teasy to condition. They very
quickly go from good physical con
dition to comparatively poor phys
ical condition.
Lack of skill generally is a
matter of athletic age. For in
stance, one often sees a young
man 81 years old who is only l5
years of athletic age. In this era
of sharp competition, the imma-
ture athlete, in the sense of ath-
letic age, is retained as a, member
of team to accord him his right
full chance to develop. Notre
Dame regularly uncorkS players in
their third and fourth years who
were considered immature and
not properly developed in skill
during their first two or three
years in college.

Bucknell game on November 81,
was making desperate fight for
his life today. Szymanski is
wholly rational but his condition
is a trifle more uncertain than

to the depressing weather and the
fact that he must have heard of

SAY WOMAN JUROR
HAD EXPECTED CALL
Witnesses Testify Mrs. Clark
Knew She Would Be
Asked to Serve

Minneapolis, Nov. 9.-(F-Testi-
mony that Mrs. Genevieve A. Clark,
only woman member Of the Foshay
mail fraud jury, knew two weeks be-
fore the trial started she was to be
called as a prospective juror, was
given here Monday.
She made such q statement to an
other woman called on the Foshay
venire-Mrs. Irene M. Passer, Olivia,
said the latter as she took the stand
as a governmental witness In the con-
tempt of court proceedings against
Mrs. Clark before two federal judges.
Mrs. Passer testified she %conversed
with Mrs. Clark while both were
waiting to be called into the jury box
on the first day of the trial, Septeln-
Der /.
AS juror after Juror took a place In
the box Mrs. Clark confided in Mrs.
Passer she had known she would be a
juror, said the witness. Mrs. PasSer
quoted the defendant as having said
a cousin in the st. Paul federal build
ing had informed her Of the fact.
Fred Horowitz, special government
prosecutor, developed from another
witness, Mrs. Carl johnson, Moor
head, also a prospective Juror, that
Mrs. Clark had recalled working for
the Foshay company.
"She said she had q reason for get
ting on the jury" Mrs. Johnson
testified, adding that Mrs. Clark had
not divulged the reason.
Mrs. Clark was angered at this
testimony and banged the table with
a small fist, whispering le:ldly to a
friend near her, II never said any
thing like It,"
The government alleges she COM
mitted perjury while being examined
for jury service in that she failed to
state that she once had worked for
the W. B. Foshay company as a stem
ographer.
Foshay and six business associates
were charged with using the mails to
defraud in promoting securities of the
company's many subsidiaries, which
went into q receivers hands Novem-
Der l, 1923.
After a weeks elaboration, the jury
was discharged without reaching a
verdict, with Mrs. Clark alone hold
ing out for acquittal.
The government called a dozen wit
nesses for Mondays hearing.

financial and commodity centers.
New war rumors from the Orient
sent grain bouncing back from an
early wave Of profit-taking.
Reports that China had declared
on Japan revived the bullish en-
thusiasm and wheat and corn futures

cents and scared quickly above the

Heavy frost In Argentina also en-
couraged buyers, offsetting reported

Corn and oats followed wheat on
the recovery. Rye was strong from
the start Of the market, setting new
high prices for the season on each
advance.
The stock market faltered for q
time during the morning. as the rails
backed up about 81 to So a share, but
fresh buying soop appeared and rails
rebounded swiftly after utilities, steels
and chemicals had raced upward. Ad-
vances Of 81 to So over Saturdays
final levels were numerous by early
afternoon.
Trading progressed at q feverish
pace, virtually maintaining Saturdays
stride. It was of the busiest days
on the exchange in several months.
Bulls were again cheered by the
manner in which the wheat market
was able to absorb q large volume OF
profjt-taking, and a rally in cotton,
in the face Of an increased govern
ment crop estimate.
Rails were actively bought on the
rebound. American Telephone sold
