kT,HERE Is something back Of some
foot ball games that never Is found

l foot ball games that never is found
IN other games, no matter how
ed to them for any particular season.
Such a game Is that between Maryland
and Hopkins. Since 1892 these two
schools have been meeting, and there Is
a certain crowd that attends no matter
how poor the records of the teams.
Outside the Navy-N -Notre Dame game
1t is likely that the biggest crowd that
has watched game in Maryland this
year will be in the stand.
DowN in North Carolina is to be
played a game that for bitter
rivalry probably will not be ex-
ceeded anywhere this season-Duke VS..
North Carolina. The Tarheels were
beaten last year by Duke for the first
and only time in all the history of foot
ball relationships between the two uni
yersities, and that defeat did not set
very well.
However. it probably is situation 10
which North Carolina will have to &C
custom itself somewhat, because with
the present situation at Duke that
school is going to win again, and Just
about as often as North Carolina does,
If not more often.
North Carolina has some hope of
heating Duke this week, according TO
North Carolina people who have secuted
the Duke team all year, because they
claim to know weaknesses in DUKE tnat
others not SO familiar with luke nave
NOT known. One thing seems larry
sire. II Duke beats North Carolina TINS
week a change in the coaching system
at Carolina should not surprise any
body.
-HERE will be rather unusual
sidelight to the Minnesota Mlcn,
n igan game this week that should
he interesting. Bernie Bierman. VINO
coaches at Minnesota, played against
the Michigan offense several Times
while coaching at Tulane and stopped
it. While at Tulane Bierman olo not
have a good deal of difnculty WIN tne
the same as Michigan's. and good
many people who know that will watch
his effort to stop Michigan With more
than ordinary interest.
The chances are that Michigan VIII
find the going harder against Mime
sofa than against any other eleven II
has met Bierman feels pretty much
the same about the short-kick lorna
ton offense as Yost does about the
double wing back-that it is not par
ticularly hard to stop.
THE fur is likely to fly when South
ern California meets oregon. 1t
will be remembered that Oregon
State College some time back held
Southern California to 0-to-0 tie and
that last week Oregon took the meas
I1re of Oregon State. If Oregon beats
Southern California it probably will
win the Pacific Coast championship
1t would not set very well with How
ard Jones to be tied by Oregon State
and TO be whipped by University Of
oregon In the same season. At the
start of the season bet Of that kind
would have got almost any odds that
might have been asked.

" toughest assignment of
~ the local college foot ball
teams this week. 1t meets
in Carnegie Tech one of the
strongest outfits in the country,
and does not have the strength
to measure up to that standard.
George Washington and Catholic
University both are scheduled to
face powerful opponents, but they
have stronger squads with which
to do it.
Carnegie Tech came here last Fall
at the end of the season and gave
Georgetown lacing, and from almost
any viewpoint that one looks at the
game this week there does not seem to
be in prospect any ending very much
different from that of 1882. The Plaid
has beaten Notre Dame and has stacked
up against other powerful foes with
such success as to indicate that it is

About the only preparation that
Georgetown can make for such game
is to plan to do the best it can. With
out adequate material, and without
much stimulus of any kind, the COM
ing Saturday afternoon DOES not seem
to offer much for the Hilltoppers to
get optimimstic about. OF course, this
is said with all due regard for the fact
that an upset is possible, that George
town may come through with a totally
unexpected victory. but in view of the
comparative records of the two elevens
it is difficult to see how that is possible.
Certainly it is far from what one would
expect.
At times in past years Georgetown
teams have risen to heights and
achievements on the gridiron hardly
thought possible It may do that
against Carnegie Tech, and it win have
to If it is to have any other ending to
the game than one-sided score.

SELF-HELP, SAYS LOREE

Recent investment of $10,OOO,OOO by the Della
ware and Hudson railroad for 10 per cent inter-
est in the New York Central, lends particular in
terest to the opinions held by President Leonor F.
Loree, president of the Delaware and Hudson, con-
corning the acute problems of railway transporta-
tion
Here is a summary of this veteran railroad man 5
views, condensed from an article in The Sunday
New York Times:
Trucks are small part of the railroads diff
culties "The problem of the railroads is that of
adapting their plant to the changing needs of trans
portation. 1t is therefore a problem of admins
tration. Administrative problems are always of the
first magnitude" says Mr.. Loree.
Mr.. Loree doubts that motor-vehicles have taken
much business from the railroads They have sup
planted the orse, and no one knows to what extent
this reflected in the business now carried b.
trucks. The trucks have also created traffic not
previously existing on the railroads or anywhere
else. Under present business conditions trucks are
carrying more traffic than they would under nor
NAL conditions.
Railroads can maintain their position by SELF
improvement" continues Mr.. Loree. He was the
first railroad man, for ample, to increase the
weight of locomotives. Besdes there is the neces-
sity of abandoning tracks with no tonnage, sta
tions with almost no business, and so forth.
As to passenger traffic, Mr.. Loree keeps on open
mind, but he inclines to the view that, except or
certain lines of heavy passenger traffic this is
business to which the railroads would do we'll to bid
hearty goodbye.
This sounds like common sense that will bear ar
acid test of application. Anyway, Mr.. Loree has q
long record successful railroad administrator
and now, at a time when many observers are pre-
dieting government ownership by default on gov
eminent loans to railroads. Mr.. Loree supports his
confidence in railroad property by an investment
of 100000 00.-Asheville Times

THE GOVERNMENT IN BUSINESS

A Congressional committee engaged in
investigating the qualifications of the fed
eral governments participation in business
in competition with its own citizens, has
reported that it found 1872 items of indus,
try, trade and personal and professional
services affected by government competi-
ton" In this large number of the profes-
sions and branches of business the govern.
ment is either directly or indirectly en-
gagged in competition with its citizens.
The Congressional committee reports
that this state of affairs threatens to re-
duce the private initiative, curtail the OPP
portunities and infringe upon the earning
powers of taX-paying undertakings, while
steadily increasing the levieS upon them -
If the committee had reported that all this
is a reality and not a mere threat, it would
have hit the nail on the head. Probably
that was what the committee intended to
report, for government competition with
private business is a fact and not a theory.
In scores of cases the government is in
business in competition with its citizens. II
is engaged in business which is breaking
down the private business of citizens, and
to the extent this is done the taX-payins
power of enterprise is destroyed.
No greater perversion of the natural
functions of representative government
could be conceived of and executed. The
people are the government. The govern
ment is supported solely by the tax contri-
buttons of its citizens. The people through
their elected servants compete with them
selves and attempt to destroy their own
business and their ability to support their
government. The fallacy of such system
is apparent. If persisted in it will destroy
representative government.
One way to improve conditions in this
country is to take the federal government
out of business.
Responsibility for the present conditions
does not rest altogether upon the Congress
of the United States. The Congress from
time to time has yielded to public pressure
and clamor. The people have made de-
mands upon the government to do this
that and the other for them; and these de.
mands have been constantly increasing II
variety and volume. More and more the
people want the government to pet anC
coddle them and do for them many things
they should do for themselves. We have
in this country government paternalism
running riot; and the country is rushing
headlong into socialism.
No reform of federal government prac-
tees in this country that does not take the
government out of private business will as
sure the continuance of representative gov
eminent and the safety and prosperity o.
the country and its people.
