Recognizing that students elig-
ible to participate in intercollegi-
ate competitions at one college,
under one code, conceivably might
be ineligible at another college,
under another code, the various
colleges admit of the justice and
appropriateness Of permitting op-
ponents to administer their own
internal affairs.
Why This Exception?
The three District colleges
Georgetown, George Washington
and Catholic University-always
follow this policy.
Except in the single instance Of
the colleges of the District of Co
lumbia, Southern Conference in.
stitutions follow this policy, too,
in contracting for games with in
Stitutions located outside the
home State of a conference
school. For some obscure and
unexplained reason, the Confer
ence insists that the District Of
Columbia is Southern Conference
territory, despite the fact that no
member college of the Conference
is located in the District.
The question naturally arises:
"Why does the Conference insist
that the District Of Columbia Is
Southern Conference territory any
more than West Virginia is, or
Oregon?"
Application Of the Southern
Conference eligibility code to
Georgetown, George Washington
and Catholic University could
only result in the elimination from
competition of a negligible num-
ber of athletes who happen to be
transfer students. However, ap-
plication of District college codes
to Southern Conference colleges
would result in the elimination OF
a large percentage of Conference
college athletes, as was borne out
when George Washington Univer-
sity's code was applied to North

put it, "of States inability con-
veniently to meet the scholastic
eligibility requirements as laid
down by G. w. for players"
SkuIldruggery Here
Evidences indicate that an Or
ganized movement within the Con-
ference behind an eligibility
smokescreen is designed to pre-
vent the development of athletic
programs by District colleges
which would overshadow those of
neighboring Conference schools
from the standpoint of gate re-
ceipts and desirable publicity.
One of these evidences is fur
nished by the inside story of the

Tough for Yankees
Because of this excellent show
ing, Manager Cronin and his
men, as pretty we'll known by this
time. have been able to wrench
the first place position in the
race from the New York Yankees,
who are now trying to get it back
again, although they're finding
out what tough road is ahead
of them. These YankS slaShed

And now by this turn OF affairs
the race has become even closer
and more heated than ever as
only one game separates the
Gothamites for firstplace honorS.

This means that both teams
will be watching the score boards
every day from now on to see
whether ground has been gained
or lost, as the case happens to
turn out. In regard to the GriffS,

 New York. March 6 (UP)-New York and the nation discovered today that it is possible to live pleasantly without money.
 The average person, usually sol- vent, was caught with little or no available cash by the suddenly de- clared banking holidays in com- munities not previously affected, but quickly found that many others cauEh: in the same predicament were more than glad to extend a helping hand.
 Merchants granted credit freely. few railroads allowed patrons to ride on checks they couldn't cash, theaters accepted I. O. us for tickets, and even taxi drivers were open to reason.
 Though designed to end hoard ing, the banking holiday caused merchants, hotels, and others de- pendent for business upon their ability to make change, to conserve by every means possible their sup plies of coins and small bills Many merchants preferred to sell on> credit rather than return the change of a five dollar bill offered for a $1.50 purchase, change mak- CTS in the New York subways con- served their nickels by refusing to give more than one 5-cent piece to customer. Numerous citizens with $1OO and $500 banknotes found it impossible to change them. One man with $1O0 bill went from store to store here, offering to sell it for $95, but found no takers.
 The public everywhere appeared to accept the situation without hysteria. It was generally agreed that the banking holiday was tenn porarily and for the common good, and the public looked forward with curiosity ratherNthan open misgiving to a substitution of scrip for currency.
 Checks upon closed banks were freely accepted. But the checks had to be made out for the exact amount due.
 In New York, expedients to ob- tain small change were numerous. One hotel sent bell hops armed with rolls of $10 and $20 bank notes from church to church, off, fering to exchange them for the coins of the collection plate.
 Rabbi Stephen s. Wise of the Free Synagogue reminded his con- gregation that personal checks were acceptable in the collection plates. The Rev c. Everett Wag ner, of the Union Methodist Epis. copal church, told worshippers tc take your money home and use it for food" and refused to pass the plates.

 With his profit, he bought horses and wagons. In five years he owned 10 horses, was hiring 20 teams and employing 40 men.
 Home First Real Estate The first real estate he owned was the home he bought for his bride Later as his family in creased, he moved to another house in the same vicinity. His wife died there after they had been married thirty-five years. Mayor Cermak lived there until his last illness. His three daughters and seven grandchildren visited in the home frequently.

 At once the former coal miner found himself facing as difficult a task as perhaps any large city mayor ever faced. Gangsters, tax strikers, unpaid school teachers and police and other city em- ployes played roles in the problem play of practical politics.
 War on Gangs
 Cermak made war on the gangs. He made personal trips to New York to borrow money for relief of his financially crippled home city. He reduced expenses to a level unmatched in Chicago in years. He evolved plans for pay ment of back salaries to the teachers an deity employees. And he found time for trip to Europe last summer. There he preached the story of a new Chi cago, rising from it's troubles to | prepare for the Worlds Fair in 1883. In Czecho-Slovakia, Cermak visited the hamlet near Prague where he was born in 1873 and from which his parents had taken him as a toddling baby to Amer ica. The family settled in Braid wood.

Washington, March 4-(UP)- The text of President Rooscvelt's inaugural address was as fol- lows:
 'T am certain that my fellow Americans expect that on my in- duction into the presidency l will address them with candor and decision which the present situation of our nation impcls. This is preeminently the time to speak the truth, the whole truth, frankly and boldly. Nor need we shrink from honestly facing con ditiOns in our country today: rms great nation will endure as it has endured, will revive and will prosper.

 In such a spirit on my part and on yours we face our common difficulties. They concern, thank God, only material things. Values have shrunken to fantastic lev els; taxes have risen: our ability to pay has fallen; government or all kinds is faced by serious cur tailment of income; the means or exchange are frozen in the cur rents of trade: the withered leaves of industrial enterprise lie on every side; farmers find no markets for their produce: the savings of many years in thOus-
