Dr Chain Weizmann carried in his heart a dream of a homeland for his scattered people. frankly and violently hostile, and he had to seek ways of com promise.
 But things did move. Jews without money came from all over the world and for the first time in centuries became farm owners and set their hands to the plough and the sickle. Wheat came to fru- ition and orange trees bore crops New town and cities were built. commerce organized. roads con structed. An effort was made to make Palestine blossom once more like the rose.
 A Dream Shattered
 Then came the savage outbreak of the Arabs in 1929. Jews were slaughtered, houses footed, villages dem olished, farms swept bare. There followed an inquiry and a report by Sir John Hope Simpson, seemingly adopted in full by Lord Passfield, British secretary for the Colonies. It seemed an end to Zion.
 Dr Weizmann promptly an- nounced he could no longer work with the British government. It was a bitter pill, because he had always adjured his fellow Zonists to trust Britain. Now they revtled her for breaking faith. Premier Ramsay Macdonald did his best to put things back on the old foot ing. He said Britain stood by the mandate and all it's implications. | But it was too late to get Weiz- mann back in the saddle and too late to save him from the wrath Of the Zionist congress.
 It has often been pointed out that Weizmann, the little Russian Jew, and Lenin, the little Russian of the minor nobility, looked very much alike. They had much the same stature, much the same type of face, the same mobile mouths, the same expressive hands.
 In each case their job was gi- gantic. Lenin had to gather to- gether all the scattered forces or revolt in the former Russian em- pire and weld them into ma chine.
 But Weizmann had an even big ger job. Weizmann's forces were scattered all over the world-in the teeming cities of Europe and America and in the crowded small villages and hamlets all over the globe. He had to weld their dreams, their desires, their hopes, despite the distances of time and space and the differences in Ian guage and culture. He succeeded in large measure, and led them for IA long difficult years.
 over here in Britain 1t IS con. fidently expected he will lead them once again. For the British lok upon him as the one world statesman the Zionist movement has brought forth. They believe his own people will turn to him once more when their hot anger has cooled and they fully realize that he has always with a selfless- ness fought for them and their age-o dream. For at heart Weiz. mann. the intensely practical and scientific chemist. has always re- mained a dreamer of the ghetto who worked untiringly to make his dream come true.

Hockey executives are making plans for increasing even more the interest In the game.
 Plans cnli for organization of industrial leagues similar to those of amateur leagues now existing In several major league hockey cities.
 Going Ahead.
 Hockey already has gained q foothold in American colleges and in fl few secondary and high schools. Professional leaders will lend announcement to the scholas- tic, game.
 Hockey particularly well suited for American players, offers nll tho bodily contact, roughness and ex- citement of football. Although generally conceded to be the rough est of all games. deaths are almost unknown in the sport. even though 1t is played in Canada as extensive ly as baseball is played in tho states. ..U,f
 The sport also has an excellent field for development as the United states has no winter sport to take the place of baseball and football. Basketball, except in scattered lo- caiities. never has ranked with the outdoor sports.
 They Get Hot. Hockey's fans are fully as rabid as followers of baseball and foot ball. When the sport first was in- troduced professionally in the United states many amusement men believed 1t would prove los. ing gamble. However 1t caught on immediately. Now i've of the eight teams in the national hockey league--the major circuit of the game--represen the United Statet with only three from Canada, cradle of the sport.
 Games In New York, Boston Chicago. and Detroit draw capacity crowds week after week. Stars Ahead. Most of the professional players are recruited from Canada but with plans for expanding amateur play, the United States soon may develop it's own stars.

CAPACITY CROWD EXPECTED TO SEE
 CALIFORNIA PLAY
BY GARNET E. HORNER United Prcss Stan Correspondent

tOHlNsu EEVhs Ctun CUEEcDPUiscbtJ
 Atlanta, Dec 20-(U. P.)--Uni- versity of California was favored in the betting odds to-day to wipe out the sting In the defeat administer. ed by Georgia Tech back in 1929.
 While the Golden Bears of the west were heavily favored to win. the prospects of q wide open game by the underdogs. and forecast of clear, moderate weather, brought predictions of q capacity crowd to-day at Grant field.
 Tech Tucked" out an 8-7 vlc- tory over California in that Rose Bowl engagement two years ago when Roy Riegels, star California center, ran the wrong way with the ball and scored . safety for ms opponents. The sting of that de- feat was strong incentive for the Californians to play to win by as large a score as possible to-day.
 Both teams were in good condi- ton, Techs squad was pronounced in even better shape than during the regular season. The boys have gained a little weight.
 California also was nt top form and full of strength with the ex- ception of John Ransome, tackle, whose leg, injured in the Stanford game, has not entirely healed. Milo Mallory replaced him in the line- up.
 Both squads went through final practice sessions under Ideal won- ther conditions yesterday after c Christmas breakfast together at the hotel where the Californians are stopping.
 Coach Navy Bnr" Ingram of California and W. A. Alexander of Georgia Tech exchanged the usual pessimistic remarks at the break fast. Alexander was sure his team would lose--fngram wasn't 70 sure.
 Christmas day the members of the California eleven distributed toys among the crippled children for whose benefit they play to-day. The entire squad attended the At- lanta Biltmore, celebration, col- lected toys from attendants there, and yesterday gave them to tho youngsters. weights:
