Economy His Hobby
 Continuing to specialize on his favorite subject of economy, he
 had been working on a retrench-
 ment plan for weeks before he
 knew Roosevelt was going to
 make him commander of the bud get.
 His problem of budget balancing
 involves an assault on an expense
 sheet composed of one billion dol
 lars for veterans. 1900 millions for the public debt, 500 millions for
 the post office, 3O7 millions for public works. 600 millions for army and navy, and 700 millinos for the
 rest of the government wherein lies
 the field for reorganization. No more complicated task exists of federal functions is added. Con- gressmen have talked glibly as if 1t were easy. But most things in
 the huge federal organization were placed in a given group for some
 reason and Douglas realizes that
 that Is would be the height of folly
 for anyone to step into such a job suddenly and without adequate knowledge.
 Dares Veterans Ire
 Entirely on his own, not because
 of any committee responsibility, he began studying the budget when
 the first deficit appeared in 1881 and has worked on it ever since. He was chairman of the committee set up the famous house economy
 which produced the resolution to
 committee last year and became an important member of the latter
 committee, lighting ably and con- stantly for retrenchment. He dared the veterans ire by demanding cuts in their appropriations from the beginning.
 He met Roosevelt during the campaign last summer. They dis cussed public affairs--including the budget. Roosevelt was impressed He conferred with Douglas often after election. He soon began his survey of federal departments, bureaus and missions. He was Roosevelt's liaison man with the state department prior to the Roosevelt-Stimson conference >on foreign affairs.
 Cited for War Bravery
 Member of the prominent Doug las family of Arizona, Lewis w. was graduated from Amherst and Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology. He was a lieutenant of field artillery in the war, was gassed. decorated by Belgium and cited for bravery by General Pershing. After teaching history at Amherst and chemistry at a school in Tar rytown, N. Y., he returned to Ari- zona and served in the state legis- lature, 1923-25. In 1926 he ran successfully for congress. His rise to prominent position was one of the most rapid in the history of the house.
 Even in normal times, without special powers delegated to the president and passed on to him, the budget director is an important figure in government. For two months each year he and his sub- ordinates hold hearings at which the various federal departments and agencies submit and try to justify their estimates of requisite appropriations. The director is em- powered to cut the estimates at any time, subject to presidential ap- proval.

CORNHUSKERS IN GREAT 22-O WIN
 OVER OREGON
BY JACK CUDDY

United Press Stan COrreSpOnOent)
 New York, Dec 1-The nations football fans recovered today from Thanksgiving turkey and also di- gested an important lesson in grid iron geography.
 For some weeks the fans have suspected that the young men of the midwest were playing a fine brand of ball, and recently the ex- perts matched strides to see who could corral the most midwest erners on all-American teams.
 But 1t was the Nebraska Corn huskers who stepped out of turkey day and made the nation midwest conscious by sinking the Oregon State Beavers and hanging up their pelts to dry. The big six cham pions gave Flaningirei Franklin and his northwest farmers an un- merciful lambasting, 22-0.
 Doubtless Coach Lon Stiner rules the day he prevailed upon these Cornhuskers to arragne @ last minute game with his boys. But Stiner thought his Beavers were lions, and he was not reluctant in saying so as he paraded them from Corvallis to the Bronx and then to Waterloo at Lincoln.

Especial to The Democrat)

Providence, R. T., Nov SO-- Eugene IIks) Kern, sophomore from Waterbury, played @ leading role in Colgate's 25-0 victory over Brown on Thanksgiving morning. Kern scored one touchdown him. self on a sparkling 7-yard drive through the Brown team. Just aft CT he had picked up four yards on a reverse down he filed previous to the scoring play. Kern reeled off gains of twenty yards each.
 Accurate
 As a passer, he outshone the starting left halfback, Jack Fritts. Kern passed six times for long gains. One @ twenty yard heave to the fiashy sophomore back, Marty McDonough. The play gained forty yards. As McDonough sprinted for twenty more. Kern kicked well also. although his average was not quite so good as Fritts. one boot that he drove for fifty yards was made with two men bouncing son him and nearly blocking it. Fritts, who was elected co-captin with Clarence Anderson after the game, was really the ball-carrying star. He scored two touchdowns, one on a forty yard gallop, and the other on @ 22 yard sprint.

Especial to The Democrat)

Naukatuck, Dec = With it's season apparently over. the Naug- atuck High schol football team was preparing to-day to hang un its football togs, having achieved the distinction of having scored the most points of any school team in the state. The 32 points the l0- calls scored yesterday in defeating Anosnia, in Ansonia 32-0 assured the Naugatuck team of this honor. No further word as to the suggest- ed game with Chapman Tech was received although it had been re- ported that if the locals defeated Ansonia a game with Chapman Tech would be sought.
 Bore Down
 Naugatuck showed all it's power yesterday in trampling on Ansonia. Dick Tuckey was outstanding and Frank Edmonds, negro star, alsd proved his worth. One of the feat ures of the tilt was the 90-yard run of Tuckey. who shook off tack Ter after tackler to get almost a clear field and then Sowan took out the only man threatening to bring down the local player.
 Naugatuck has a fine record this year having lost only one game, that to Warren Harding. and hav- ing two ties with Crosby. 1t has beaten such teams as Central, Stamford and Torrington. It can well rest content on its laurels. Naugatuck (32) (O) Ansonia
