No Ethics Involved

And even though such a ges-
ture made her no less of a
woman athlete and did not in
.,volve any ethics of sportsman
ship insofar as actual athletic
competition was concerned, she
was denounced by the A. A. U.
and told that the only way she
could get back into it's good
graceS was to sue the concern
using her name as an advertise
ment.
Now, it takes time and trou.
bic and money to carry such
matters to court, and by The
time a hearing might be held.
Miss Didrikson could easily
become a great great grand
mother. And besides, she was
none too sure she couldn't get
along very we'll outside the pale
OF the A. A. u, since it had
never meant so very. much @
her anyway-nothing like SO
much as she had meant to it.
So she ups and tells 'em along
about Wednesday of this week
that she guesses if they had
branded her a professional the
only thing to do would be to De
O real one and go out and get
all she could on her triumphs--
leaving the A. A. U. right out on

It reminds us of the story our
mother used to tell us of little
girl who was very factious, and
>balky and hysterical, spending
most Of her time screaming.
The child's mother one day.
In evaporation, declared:
Darling, you're as wild as a
colt"
To which the child replied:
"Well, if I'm as wild as a colt.
I might as well get down on the
ground and roll"

school to a prominent spot in the

Advance Is Phenomenal
It is interesting to study the
background of this phenomenal
athletic advance of G. w.
Back of the recent vivid sue
cesses of the Buff and Blue are
eight factors, as follows: I'd A
brilliant record of leadership:
90 sound policies, first carefully
studied, next adjusted and per-
fected and then clearly enun-
ciated; 80 a management reflect
ing good old-fashiOned common
sense, knowledge of all pertinent
factors and wisdom which would
do justice to the most experienced
managementS in the country; 90
thorough knowledge by all per-
sons concerned in athletic activi-
ties of general and specific situa-
tions in the intercollegiate ath-
letic world.
90 A series of constructive
efforts based on a preconceived
plan, and with every destructive
thought, wish and action posi-
lively tabood; go flaming
spirit of cooperation with every per-
son involved knowing the definite
detectives and the routes chosen
to reach those detectives; CD a
conscientious acceptance by ath-
letiC officials of the problems of
the university, as outlined by
academic authorities, and honest
efforts to aid to the utmost in
the solution of those problems
and (8) a determination to make
friendship the basis of intercol,
Iegiate and intramural athletics.

80 and october 7, G. w. will play
in succession Clemson, Auburn,
West Virginia Wesleyan. Tennes-
see, Washington and Jefferson,
Tulsa and North Carolina State.
It has been definitely decided to
accord North Carolina State top
position on the Schedule-Thanks-
giving Day. This move is a wise
one, as North Carolina State will
prove a great drawing card in
Washington and thousands of fol-
lowers of football will welcome the
Wolfpack back to this city.
Further, State is a colorful COM
bination, coached by one of foot
balls most colorful characters,
Clipper" Smith, former Notre
Dame star and one of Knute
Rockne's ablest pupils.
It is entirely possible that State
and G.. w. in 1888 will begin a
relationship which will prove to be
a powerful influence in intercol-
legiate athletics of the South
Atlantic area.

Those Track Meets

The answer is that the A. A.

meets are to be held within the
next twelve.month under its
banner and that unless Miss
Didrikson is one of the entered
and advertised competitors, the
meets will be total flops, finan-

The girls got the records,
she's got the reputation gained
ct the 1882 Olympics last sum-

stand the A. A. U. right on its
ears. That she did This very
thing is proven by the speed
with which she was returned to
good standing the moment after
she declared she had turned pro.
It seems that a couple of
weeks ago it came to the atten-
tion Of the A. A. U. that its
baby star of 1882 had directly
or indirectly said a good word

The evidence is very confused
as to whether she either got

COTTON
To Be GIVEN
RED CROSS

After the Red Cross appealed to
Congress today for additional Gov
ernment surplus wheat to feed
the needy, the House Agricultural
Committee endorsed a bill giving
the organization a second 40,-
100000 bushels of wheat and also
100000 bales of Government sur
plus cotton.
The Red Cross would distribute
the surplus to charitable organi-
ZationS.
The measure proposes that the
cotton be woven into cloth and
given to charitable organizations.
Most of 1t Gone
The Red Cross was given 4O,-
100000 bushels of wheat this past
winter, but most of it has been
distributed.
In a letter to Senator McNary
R0 Of Oregon, John Barton
Payne, Red Cross national chair
man, reported the organization
had used 24,944,489 bushels of
Farm Board wheat to date. He
said the organization had 15,055,.
Sill bushels on hand which would
last probably until November /.
He added:
"Lt is our opinion that there
will be need for additional
wheat for relief use."
Payne said:
"Our estimate is that the said
15,O55,5l1 bushels of wheat un-
committed will last. through the
summer, probably until the
first of November. We state
this with some confidence be-
cause the use of wheat for live
stock feed, as contemplated in
the Senate bill, will not be fur
ther required.
There is some danger that
graSShOpperS may cause such
serious loss of crops in certain
Northwestern States that relief
may be needed for livestock"

The most effective, in fact about the only
effective way of combating the fly is to so ar
range the planting Of the seed that when the
parent flies are ready to lay their eggs, there
will be no young wheat at hand for the eggs

Fr0Sen Pack Methods

EXPERIMENTS conducted at the Department
= of Agricultures experiment farm at
Arlington have proven to be of great potential
benefit to the frozen pack method of preserving
fruit. Under this method, much fruit has been
preserved in an approximation of its natural
state with little impairment of the flavor.
Unfortunately, it has been found necessary in
the past to freeze at temperatures around 80
below zero in order to bring about a rapid
freezing This method naturally was of great
discomfort to the workers and decidedly costly
to operate.
The experiments carried on at Arlington have
shown that this extremely low temperature is
not essential and perfectly satisfactory results
were attained with temperatures as high as 10
and Is degrees above zero. In the case of
articles packed in small containers, the
ordinary cold storage Temperatures Is suitable
but in fruits packed in barrels and other large
containers, it is necessary to run the tempera-
ture down to zero in order to bring about
freezing before decomposition can set in.
The appearance and quality Of the fruit
packed under the higher temperatures are much
superior to the low temperature type for the
color is better and the shape is held better. The
department experts believe that this phase Of
the fruit preservation business offers great
promise for future development, for the con-
sumer can buy an article even in Winter which
viii closely resemble the fresh product and no
doubt at lower costs than the fresh product viii
require.
