HENDERSON TELLS
CHAMBER ABOUT
CLEVELAND RACES

Details of the 1882 national air
races in Cleveland, the Cord cup
race and intimate glimpses of the
men and women who participated
in these events were sketched at
last nights El Centre Chamber of
Commerce dinner by Randall Hen
derson, editor of the Calexicc
Chronicle. Henderson showed his
hearers some sample copies of
Speed, the official publication of
the air races. which he edited for
the Pacific wing of the cup race.
There were Sc planes which
started from Los Angeles, eight of
which were piloted by women, and
38 arrived at Cleveland. Although
some dropped out because of var
ious difficulties enroute, no casual
ties were reported Each plane
was tested for average speed before
leaving Los Angeles e.nd the start
each day was made according to
the individual speed, slow planes
leaving before those which made
better time. In this way, the
speaker pointed out, most of the
planes arrived at their destination
each day in a group and, in many
cases, the judges of the days win
ner was forced to make a decision
between planes which reached the
goal but a few inches apart and
only so feet above the ground.
Among the entrants in the races
were six crack pilots from various
European countries and their
planes, Henderson stated, were of
very interesting type of construc-
tion. The competition between these
visitors and the American flyers
was very keen and resulted in un-
usual flying and stunting. The
most thrilling stunt, said the
speaker, was the delayed parachute
jump of "Spud" Manning, holder
of the world record Manning each
day jumped from an altitude Of
six to 10 thousand feet, not open
ing his parachute until within 2,0U0
feet of the ground,
mo phenomenal developments
have been made .IY airplane con-
struction in the past year." stated
Henderson, "but many refinements
have been added to passenger
planes and a distinct type of rae
ing plane has been worked out. All
the racing ships are of the mono
plane type, with low, small wings,
and many have landing gear which
folds into the plane when in flight"
Guests at the chamber dinner
were DR.. R. P. Gingerich, super
vising market milk inspector for
the state of California and Bertram
Smith, western representative for
the Kendall Refining company

per of its kind ever written. Hoov-
er's honest frankness sticks out all
over it.
In this document. the earnestness.
the determination. the devotion of
the President to the country. is evi-
dent. But it is the plainest kind
of talk l do not believe anyone
can read this acceptance address
without being convinced of the true
greatness of the man; without hav-
ing his faith renewed in American
principles of government.
1 am unable to find any good
reason for dispensing with the SER
vices of such a President at such
a time, to put in his place a man
of less experience and far less at
tainment What great corporation
would change its president under
such circumstances? Would it be
a wise move at this time for the
people of the United States to turn
over the entire administrative gov
ernment of this nation to a lot
of new and inexperienced hands?
There is a time-honored Ameri-
can adage of pioneer days which
counsels us against swapping horses
in midstream. Our troubles are not
over. We have got to rebuild, got
TO restore the entire country. This
is not the time to dispense with the
services of the man who knows all
about the biggest job of reconstruc-
ton that has confronted a Presi-
dent since Civil war times.
For 10 years Mr.. Hoover has had
in mind a plan to simplify our en-
tire system of national government.
He has it all mapped out in a chart
that can be understood at a glance
But he has so constantly had to
contend with emergencies that he
has had to defer putting this plan
into execution during his first term
of office. One of the last bills
passed by congress gave the Pres
ident authority to begin this work
at the next session. Our last four
presidents have recognized the
need of a drastic reform of this
kind, but we have never before had
a president who knew how to go
about it.
So far as politics is concerned,
the country may we'll face the facts.
Herbert Hoover, tried by fire, test
ed by adversely, strengthened by
responsibility, fitted now by train
ing and by responsibility, is the
country's best bet in the four
years of reconstruction that
are ahead of us. We cannot spare
such a man at such a time.

SENATOR CAPPER SAYS HOOVER
IS BEST BET FOR THE COUNTRY

! is too honest to be a grandstander
He has courage and backhcae plus
! His knowledge Of world affairs. of
our own affairs. probably is sur
passed by no other American. But
he doesn't show off. He does not
burn any red fire. He doesn't put
on any sort of show. or stunt. He
simply works at his Job Just as we
work at ours, only longer and
harder than most Of Us, and let's
it go at that. Party politicians have
always complained that Hoover
never has tried to sell" himself to
the country. They want him to
dramatize himself, as they call it;
do some posing before the public
once in awhile, as some pretty
good presidents have done to show
us they were presidents and get a
hand when perhaps they needed it.
Not so with Hoover.
There has been drama enough in
his life. goodness knows. He has
met and overcome more appalling
difficulties in the last Is years than
some of the greatest figures in
history The present occupant of
the White House has done plenty
of things to entitle him to the lime
light. before, during, and since the
war. But he takes these things as
a matter of course in his methodi-
cal matter-of- way. He cannot
or will not pose.
So recently as the last nine

BY SENATOR ARTHUR CAPPER
in "Cappers Weekly"

It seems to be a true eommen-
tafS on history in genehal that the
people Of most nations have usually
been slow to recognize great lead
ers in the times of crisis that
brought them forth. In our own
short history, we know that Lin q.
coin, much criticized and humili-
ated, believed he could not be
elected to a second term, although
he vas reelected. Cleveland was
seandalously abused, even by his
own party. Roosevelt received more
recognition while in office than
most presidents, but probably was
not appreciated at his true worth
during his lifetime. And it still is
disputed whether Woodrow Wilson
will or will not be classed as a
great president.
In the White House at the pres
ent time, the country has a man
who is not a spectacular president

gram of financial and economic
relief.
It is when you see a man in ac-
ton day after day under stress,
as I have seen Hoover, that you
really come to know him for what
+ he is.
The critical moment I have in
mind, was when winter was upon
us last year. Millions of men were
ont Of work. our public revenues
had nearly dried up. To a large
extent private incomes also had
disappeared. Then foreign coun-
tries began withdrawing more than
twenty-fow hundred million dol
lars from the United States. This
included one billion dollars of our
gold reserve. Where was it going
to stop2 Fear seized the people,
they took more than sixteen hun
dred million dollars of their saw
ings from the banks and hid the
money
The storm was worldwide, an
after-war collapse, which, in our
case, followed a colossal wave of
stock market speculation and
gambling. That only made it all
the worse for US.
Many of us are only now begin
ming to appreciate how the Presi-
dent met all this with what may
truly be called the most gigantic
program of economic defense and
counter-attack" ever evolved in our
history. Had the President failed
US, had he weakened, it is not too
much to say there would not be a
bank open in America today The
whole economic and industrial fab
ric of the country would have been
wrecked or paralyzed. and we our
selves would have gone down in the
wreck.
Critics to be sure. have been free
to criticize. They criticized even
more in Lincoln's time. But they
have been extremely backward about
proposing any plans of their own.
They have had little to offer eX-
cept criticism.
During those trying months no
one saw Hoover finch or tremble.
His courage and backbone were of
the kind called for by the occasion.
He stood grimly at his post. He
stood over congress for 8 months
with his program that has saved us
until his patience and persistence
won. Until. as William Allen White
puts it, "he won more than any
other President ever won in any
other 8 months 1t was legislative
unmatched in American
history"
During these crucial 8 months the
President had to resort to heroic
measures to block the famous Gar
ner pork barrel bill. The Garner
bill would have compelled us to tax
ourselves for more than 5000 mil
lions of dollars for thousands of
postofficeS and for an
number of unremunera-
tive public enterprises. During this
time also President Hoover sue
ceeded in cutting down national
more than TOO mill
lion dollars. Imagine what it
would have meant to the country
to put 1000 million dollars more
on the tax bill this year! Hoover
saved us that, a saving too enor-
nous to comprehend.
Only recently has the President
told us the story of those months

N Princeton may have strong
" hopes for next season and
seasons to come, and Yale
may be expected to be strong enough
to defeat Harvard next Saturday at
the Bowl.
Thus both Eli and the Tiger
emerge from their traditional strug-
gle with equal satisfaction, or at
least each should be satisfied.
Princeton failed to beat Yale, and
thereby she disappointed not few
of her adherents who had built great
hopes upon progress which the eleven
had shown over last year, especially
in the Michigan game.
But those who feel this way should
realize that in Yale last Saturday
the Tigers met an eleven fully SO
per cent better than it was in the
Army game, when it had no SEM
blance of an offense and was poor in
line defense and no better than
mediocre down field.
Defensively against Princeton Yale
was distinctly good; not altogether
up to the standard Of good New
Haven teams, but nonetheless so
good as to give every reason for
belief she would be better next Sat-
urday against the Crimson.
Down field Yale's improvement
was amazing, and her running Of
fense, especially when she used Helm
in that powerful and deceptive re-
verse cutback borrowed from the
Army, was extremely potent.
As for Princeton, she played Yale
most of the time without a punter

Recall Happenings of Past
Two Years-Game Saturday
to Be Their 51St.

BY the Associated Press.
n YEW YORK, November 15.-
It's Yale VS.. Harvard for
1 Y the f1fty-first time on
Saturday and the foot ball
experts rapidly are tearing up
their dope sheets and, almost
without exception, cannily declin-
ing the issue.
There is no figuring a Yale-Harvard
game. An Eli outfit facing what might
appear to be a superior Harvard eleven
frequently has played over its collective
head and sent the experts scurrying for
cover And that goes equally for ap-
parently inferior Harvard teams OF the
past.
The last two years furnish excellent
examples of just this point. In 1880
Yale came down to the Harvard game
with only one defeat while Harvard had
been beaten by Army, Dartmouth.
Michigan and Holy Cross and tied by
William and Mary. Yet, the Crimson
won 1870.
I asst season. Harvard, with one of
- the East's great elevens, went into
the Yale game undefeated, but Albie
Booths field goal gave the Ellis 80
triumph
This season neither has any particu-
lar luck. Yale's only victory was 60
conquest Of Dartmouth. The Els have
been tied by Bates, Chicago and Prince
ton. and beaten by Brown and Army.
- Harvard whipped Buffalo, New Hamp-
shire, Penn State and Dartmouth in
succession, but dropped a decision to
Brown and then took 46-0 lacing
from Army. Last week the Crimson
showed a surprising return to form,
beating Holy Cross, TO.
Yale has a wide edge in the so games
the two rivals have played since 1875
with 81 victories against II for Har-
ward. Six games have resulted in ties,
all scoreless.
THE most decisive victory of the
/ ancient series was the 48-0 victory
the Yale eleven of 1884 achieved.
Harvard beat the Ellis. 41-0 in 1915 for
the next most one-sided score.
Both have been handicapped by in
iuries this season, but virtually all the
'cripples" should be in shape by Sat-
urday.
BY right of age, the Yale-Harvard
struggle tops the Eastern program this
week, although there are number OF
other highly important intra-sectional
struggles involving traditional or natu-
raj rivals. These include Pittsburgh
and Carnegie Tech, Columbia and
Syracuse, Temple and Villanova, La
fayette and Lehigh, Georgetown and
Bucknell and Boston College and Bos-
ton University.
