MEASURES F. D. R.. BY ABE LINCOLN
Dr Henry W. Lawrence Scores in Norwich Ad=
 dress Last Evening

Speaking in Norwich. last eve- ming, before group of alumnae, Dr Henry V. Lawrence, professor of history and political science in | Connecticut College, compared Lin coln's handling of the slavery prob lem with Roosevelt's efforts to re- strain or abolish rugged individ- ualism."
 He said. in part: .
 "ThA problems which faced these two presidents were strangly alike at bottom, though strikingly diff | fcrent on the surface. In both cases the main struggle was for the 1 preservation of democracy. In Lincoln's day the United States was the only large-scale experiment. in | government by the people under republican forms anywhere in the world; an oasis of democracy in q desert of monarchies. It's early downfall had long. been predicted, Land at length seemed likely to hap pen. If it actually did happen, the cause of political democracy was probably lost, at least for several generations. In Roosevelt's time the adequacy of democracy to 1 bring prosperity and security into l the economic life of a nation is be- ] ing doubted at home, and sharply challenged abroad by growing ex- periments in communism and .fas- cism. If in America democratic institutions cannot provide for the public welfare, what hope is there l for their success elsewhere?"
 These two defenders of democ- racy, Lincoln and Roosevelt, were soon urged strongly toward more radical measures than they had at | first approved. Just how far Lin- coin yielded to his radical advisers | is matter of history, which it may be profitable to compare with Roosevelt's record up to date Both were insistently advised to abolish outright a system that might fairly be called 100 per cent American; a system that had ante dated the nation and grown up with it, contributing largely to it's prosperity. In Lincoln's case this system was the we'll established practice of human slavery; in
 Roosevelt's it is the equally well established practice of rugged in- dividualism."
 | Lincoln resolutely prevented | the aDOliLlOn Of blaVery unLll C0at step at last seemed necessary in saving the Union. Again and again the radicals urged him to move more rapidly in this direction, and
 he refused. Finally, however, he
 became convinced that much of l their advice was sound. Then he followed it. notwithstanding the
 violence done to numerous rights guaranteed by the Constitution.
 Thus in the 1S60's the Union was preserved and an outworm eco homie system--that of plantation slave labQr--was overthrown. It
 Is still tod early to say that any
 thing like a parallel solution will
 be found for the problems of the
 1930's. It seems, nevertheless, that Roosevelt Is just as deter mined to save the Union as Lincoln
 ever was. and that he Is giving se-
 rious consideration to the alleged
 need for making important and
 permanent changes In tho econom- ic order commonly called rugged indlvldualism.'"

NNE Of the factors that may give
the North Carolina colleges a
big advantage over their rivals
IA the South and East in boxing
y due TO the extent that the sport is
carried on in the high schools. The
high schools of that State for the last
two years have been taking to boxing
almost as much as to foot ball. For
this reason, the North Carolina schools
are going to get among their fresh
man students a great many boys who
have had experience in high boxing.
A similar situation has been in a
measure responsible for the excellence
Of Virginia's boxing teams. Virginia
always has drawn many freshmen
from the big prep schools in Virginia,
suoh as Staunton, Fishburne, Augusta
and Woodberry Forest, all of which
have boxing teams.

Temporary Running Coach
at Eastern Believed to
Be SpOOfing Tech.

- HARLEs M. tCHIEF)
GUYON, for the first
Y time in the more than
- 10 years he has been con-
nected with the physical edu-
cation department of Eastern
High, Is coaching track.
Odd, too. because the genial Chief
used to do considerable track tutoring
He coached the cinderpathers at the
University of Georgia and Georgia
Tech before the World War.
Doubtless, the reason why Guyon's
services as q track coach have not
previously been used at Eastern is be-
cause he has made himself so in
dispenSable in the other sports.
Guyon will handle the Eastern Gin
derpathers this year only until Mike
Kelley, basket ball coach, has finished
work with the dribblers.

Former Notre Dame Player Sent
Out for Grooming After Two

~HICAGO, February 13.-The prob
I lem of what position on a ball
club Is best suited to the talents
Of Billy Sullivan, jr., will not bother
Manager Lew Fonseca of the Chicago
White Sox--at least for while.
Sullivan, son Of the famous White
Sox catcher of two decades ago. had
been with the club since he left the
Notre Dame campus two years ago.
He was tried at every spot in the in
field and, while his hitting was prom
ising, his fielding left considerable to
be desired. FonSeca wanted to make
a catcher out Of him, but the young
man didn't care much about catching.
Yesterday he was sent, on option
with Clarence Fieber, tall southpaw
pitching recruit, to. the Milwaukee
club Of the American Association.
Fonseca has not given up on Sullivan
and decided he would do better play
ing regularly, at whatever position
finally suits him most.
