Only for Players

AS it is, the game is just for
players, leaving practically no
risk Of life nor limb to the
scores Of students who can't
make the team. Why, we don't
believe we have heard Of a
single instance this year where
q goal post has been uprooted
and carried away as a souvenir
by the loyal supporters Of the
victorious team.
Maybe that is what is wrong
with college football. Maybe it
has become too highly system
atized, too big q business, too
dignified a sport to permit a
complete let-down on the part
Of the student body, say nothing
Of the general public which
originally gave way very COM
pletely to football emotion as
the season wore on.
Somehow or another we al
ways associated the prankS
which football feeling engender
with those of Halloween, the
spirits Of the two seasons cul
>, Y1inating at somewhat the
same time. But prohibition or
something has cured all the
hilarity that once followed
those great classics wherein the
CoyS and HeStonS and the
CaseyS were cocks O. the walk.
In those days a little riot here
and there between football fac
tions was the usual. Now such
things make the front pages
Of the papers. All me, times
do change!

FOR CHARITY

LEWIsB-JRG, Pa, Oct. "a
The classic of the hard coal
region" the annual Bucknell-
Villanova football battle, will be
staged at Scranton next Satur.
day afternoon as a charity game.
The game, sponsored by the
Scranton Kiwanis Club, is played
as a benefit to the under
privileged children's educational
fund. It is a national enterprise,
carried on by Kiwanians through
out the country. >,
Keen rivalry has developed in
the game since Harry Stuhldreher
ceased being one Of the -Four
Horsemen" Of Notre Dame and
became the head coach Of the
Wildcats,
BiSOns Even Count
Back in 1926, Stuhldreher in
his first year as a coach, gave
the Villanova men their first
victory over Bucknell. The
teams have met intermittently
since 1900.
In 1927 Carl Snavely took
over the coaching refnS at
Bucknell, and won from the
Wildcats 20 to IL. Stuhldreher
evened things with Snavely the
next year when his team won
20 to 6, but the BuckneN men,
tor has taken q twO-game lead
since then, winning 8 to 0 In
1929, and 20 to IA last fall.
The series to date stands large
ly in Bucknell's favor, seven wins
to two for Villanova. The first
game in 1900 was a Scoreless tie.
Starting with the VillanoVa
game, Bucknell has one Of the
hardest schedules in the East, as
Georgetown, w. and j., and Ford

Janis Is supplanted

Washingtonians have followed
from time to time the football
career Of one Johnny Janis,
the only football player of
whom we ever heard that was
actually hi-jacked from one
campus to another and then
back to his original fold.
Janis has been replaced as a
regular right halfback on the
Fordham football team in favor
Of Jerry Pepper, who starts to-
day against Drake. Johnny
has played pasmodically great
football for Fordham since the
day Major Cavanaugh had a
couple Of strong arm men come
to the Georgetown campus and
kidnap him home to Fordham,
whence he had been Inter.
cepted" by the scouts Of Lou
Little. 72F
It seems that about three or
four summers ago both Ford
ham and Georgetown had
taken a liking to this rangy
New Englander, Georgetown
unknowingly propositioning him
after Fordham had done like
wise. The big halfback had
promised Cavanaugh he would
report to Fordham, but when
Janis heard Of the beautiful
college overlooking the upper
Potomac, he could not say
,''nay."
He had hardly learned his
way to the Georgetown mess
hall until a couple of stran-
gers were seen lettering near the
Hilltop and the next thing any
body knew, Janis was back at
FOrdham.

WOLF PACK

Two long touchdown runs by
Tommy Whelan in the first quar-
ter gave the Catholic University
griddefs a 12-7 triumph over the
North Carolina State eleven in
their game last night at Raleigh,
N. C.
Whelan placed the Cardinals in
the lead early in the game when
he snagged a pass from Johnny
Oliver and trotted SO yards to
score. DeMello failed to add the
extra point.
A few minutes later, the Cardi-
mails repulsed a Wolfpack drive
on their six-inch line. The North
Carolina team had worked the
ball down the field in a sus-
tanned drive.
A second or two later, Whelan
seized an alien heave and
sprinted IS yards for Catholic
UniverSity'S second and final
touchdown. DeMelIO once again
missed his try for the extra
point. -.
Two 15-yard penalties for back
field in motion placed the Cardi'
mails under their own goal posts.
DeMello's attempted punt was
smothered by the fast charging
Wolfpack forwards and Gleason,
tackle, captured the ball over the
C. U. line for a touchdown. Nc
Quade added the extra point on
a placement.
The Cardinals suffered severely
from penalties, losing 100 yards in
all while North Carolina State
forfeited but 80 yards in penal
ties. The Cardinals also scored
but one first down to six for the
losers.

Jobs For The Needy

President Hoovers woes are mounting. When the 7lSt congress ended today the pres- ident was unofficially made chairman of an unemployment relief committee that will have to find lucrative positions, not jobs, for score or more of republican senators and rep- resentatives whose terms have expired. It is no motley crew that Mir Hoover must place in federal offices It is one that shines with names long prominent in the legislative his- tory of the nation. And there can be no doubt about the cry for jobs. It started some time ago. Several positions have already been allotted.
 In the senatorial group there are Tom Tom Heflin of Alabama Simmons North Carolina, Blease. South Carolina. Phipps, Colorado. Gllett. Massachusetts, Ransdell, Louisiana. Brock, Tennessee Steck, Louisiana, Williamson. Kentucky. Deneen, Illinois, Golf, West Virginia. Gould, Maine. McMaster, South Dakota. and Pine. Oklahoma Of course the majority of this group will retire permanently to private life. Simmons, Blease, Ransdell. Brock. Steek, and Williamson are democrats. They can expect no presidential aid in settling down for the future. As for the rest they will either take their way home ward or remain in Washington to do bit of lobbying for the interests that rule the country
 To enumerate the representatives retiring would require too much space. There are eighty-one of them, including Delegate Dan Sutherland of Alaska. However, three of this number graduate to the senate, namely Cor dell Hull, former national chairman of the democratic party. L. J. Dickinson of Iowa. and Wallace White of Maine the latter two republicans If is from the seventy odd renrp- sentatives that President Hoover will get the most annoyance. Most of them fully believe they are capable of running the executive de- partment of the government A lot of them will lose this idea during the coming lean months. One of the joys of being legisla- tor. dependent upon it for sustenance is the day of reckoning when the other man has your job.

HULL AND RAsKoB (Springfield Republican,

The dryness of the southern democrats as compared with the wetness of the northern democrats is again emphasized by the answer of Representative Cordeli Hull of Tennessee to the proposal of MT Raskob. chairman of the democratic national committee, that that com mittee go on record at it's meeting in Washington this week in favor of the repeal of the 18th amendment. That MT Raskob has behind him a strong sentiment among northern democrats, no one who has anal yzed the returns of last November's election can deny. But MT Hull also has behind him a strong sentiment among southern democrats.
 k In any controversy with MT Ras- kOb, Mir Hull has certain advan- tages which, in spite of MT Raskob's millions, should not be lightly ig- nored. Among them islthe fact that which .Mr Raskob. according to the evidence. of his self-edited biogra- phical sketch in Who's Who in America" considered himself a re- publican. MT Hull was not merely a democrat in good standing, but was generally recognized by political observers as one of the ablest, hard est-working and most effective lead- CTS of that party at Washington
 Anyone who assumes, because MT Hull is a dry, that he is one of those democrats sometimes derisive- ly referred to a sof the ''ranting southern type'' we have ranters in the north, too makes a miss

Now the statesmen are pro- posing to limit crude oil imports and bar refined petroleum products altogether. there by doing away with the cargoes of those tankers.
 While members of the Federal Farm Board urge crop reduction as the farmers greatest savation. the Department of Agriculture spends the taxpayers money to instruct farm CTS how to increase production. and the in- terstate credit banks lend financial assistance to the cause of bigger and better harvests. Our trade experts are sent abroad at great expense to study and develop the possibilities surplus produce. Meanwhile, Congress blithely jacks up import duties and provokes foreign retaliation against American exporters.
 The Interstate Commerce Commission at- tempts to establish railroad rates that will yield the carriers fair return on their invest ment and congress appropriates money for waterway and highway development, so that the railroads rivals can be strengthened There are many other instances of bureaus that run counter to congress departments that war with commissions, and agencies that col lide with each other. A few more federal organizations, and maybe all beauracracy will become system of checks and balances SO perfect as to nullify the entire process of gov- ernment. From many srandpoints, that would not be an unfortunate result - if only the citizen were not forced to give the system his financial support.

 On March 4, 1776, the Americans, under George Washington, occupied Dorchester Heights, now South Bos- ton, in one of the most surprising maneuvers in the Revolutionary war.
 Throughout the winter of 1775- 76, want of artillery and powder prevented Washington from doing anything more than simply keeping up the siege of Boston. However, when General Knox succeeded in dragging 50 cannon on oxsleds from Ticonderoga to Cambridge, distance of 200 miles, Washington decided to take the aggressive.
 He !. easily seized Dorchester Heights and placed his cannon into position overlooking Boston on the south. He then gave General Howe. British commander, his choice of withdrawing his forces from the town or having it battered by the cannon. Howe decided on the for mer alternative and ordered his. men, to embark March 17 for Halifax. K The following day Washington en- tered Boston in triumph Ire Brit ish had left it never to return.
