FIRST SESSION
OF CAGE PLAY
IS THRILLING
E. Flat Rock Girls Defeat
of Etowah Feature; Ed
NEVILLE, Fletcher Win

The County Basketball tourney
opened with a bang last night at
the Flat Rock gym. Edneyville
and Fletcher boys teams came
through in good style with easy
wins over Flat Rock and Mills
River and the East Flat Rock girls
nosed out Etowah in a thriller, II
to 25.
Edneyville boys rolled up long
lead on Flat Rock and coasted
through to a win, 40 to II. The
Fletcher boys found the going a
little harder but pulled out 21 to
Is.
The girls game proved the fea-
ture of the evening. Both teams
led at intervals with Etowah hold
ing a seven-point lead at one time
but inability to convert on foul
shots proved their downfall and
East Flat Rock pulled the game
out of the fire. The entire game
was married by a large number of
fouls and several players were
banished during the evening on
fouls. Allen starred for Etowah
with Wilkie and Minnie Justus
taking the lead for the Flat Rock
ers.

High School Foot Ball.

Inter-high school foot ball games
have been abandoned for the re-
mainder of the season because Of an
outbreak of too intense partisanship
at q recent contest. Starting with
unduly strenuous endeavors on the
field in that game between two of
the school teams, the feelings of the
student spectators were aroused to
the extent of a clash that was sub
dued only with difnculty. The spec
tacle was provocative of a most un-
seemly disorder, which when analyzed
by the school authorities was found to
have arisen from q lamentable lack
Of craftsmanship. The remedy of
suspension of the remaining games
was adopted as the best means Of
correcting the tendency to turn these
contests into veritable warfare.
Athletic contests between school
teams are primarily for the purpose
Of stimulation not Of factionism, but
of interest in physical exercise for
the benefit of the health of the stu
dents. Unfortunately the games
have become highly specialized, with
the building up of school teams for the
sake of victory. When rivalry rises
to pitch Of intensity that breeds
jealousy and snimosity the time has
Evening star., 1934-11-07
come to readjust the attitude of the

come to readjust the attitude OF the
school personnel toward the sport.
The public schools are maintained
for the education Of the younger
generation, not for the winning Of
base ball pennants and foot ball
honors. The athletic exercises of the
gymnasiums and on the playing fields
should include all students, not mere
ly the few who have the Drawn and
muscle to make the teams" They
should be kept In a purely supple
mentary relationship to the major
activities of the institutions. II inter-
school championships cannot be won
without diverting the attention Of the
student body from the vital work Of
learning they should be discontinued
altogether.
1t is to be hoped that the lesson Of
this unfortunate episode will be learned
to the point at which these games,
in all branches of sport, are kept free
from the passionate ardor Of both
participants and spectators which
leads to undignified and even danger
Gus outbreaks Of temper, evidence in
themselves of lack Of the true spirit
Of sportSmanship, which is indeed one
Of the most valuable lessons Of all.

Aids to Serenity.

3, Last evening, while the ether was
alive with the noisy aftermath of an
election, quiet old man sat in the
library of his home looking at photo
graphs Of ancient monuments. The
battered relics Of classic Greece and
Rome passed in review under his
hands and before his eyes. His
philosophic calm was not disturbed
by the events of the. day. Deep in
his soul he realized that the fate Of
the Nation Is decided with each tick
of the clock and not merely on the
infrequent occasions of q popular poll
Neither exultation nor disappoint-
ment affected him. He was content
to sit by his fire, independent Of the
turmoil, turning the pages of .
volume of pictures.
Others, undoubtedly, have made q
like discovery. By grace of Provi-
= dence 1t happens that there are
things In the world which serve q
Evening star., 1934-11-07

| aids to serenity-things which fur
nish retreat from the chaos Of daily
life in an era of confusion. The
treasury Of letters, for example, Is an
authentic sanctuary for the spirit; q
man may lose himself in the great
books which the masters Of human
thought have left to those with the
genius to appreciate them. Shake
speare and Milton, Dante and Moliere,
Goethe and Emerson are but few
or the mighty names which even the
poorest Of people may be rich in
studying.
And music is q medicine unexcelled
for the relief of troubled hearts. Theo-
dore Roosevelt, it is said, could not
turn q tune" but he had the habit
of humming Nearer, My God to
Thee" as he worked. 1t would seem
that even so notable an exponent Of
the strenuous" sort Of living was
grateful for the anodyne Of measured
melody. Less active persons, sup
posedly, respond to its charm still
more readily and completely. There
must have been many who listened to
"Cyraho de Bergerac' last evening in
preference to the broadcast of returns.
A lengthy list of hobbies, also, is
available for those who want peace.
There is among the residents Of Wash
ington a retired soldier who employs
his leisure building furniture fer the
fun of 1t, and one of his nelgllbOrs Is
an active business man who fOrgets
the problems Of contemporary affairs
n touring with camera. Still others
draw or paint, collect stamps or coins,
botanize or geologic, or with con-
genial friend play chess or cribbagc.
A few have highly specialized recrea-
tions and develop skilled avocational
techniques.
But be the device what it may and
the degree Of interest large or small,
the benefit is real. Wise and happy
are they who have armor asains. tria,
and tribulation, mental fortresses
against the ceaseless war Of competi-
ton In the earth.

inridge Long will shortly arrive from
Rome. His first-hand report on de-
velopments in Mussolini's realm is
awaited with lively interest in Official
quarters, too.
Both Texas and Mexico are waiting
eagerly to know If President Roosevelt
will cross the Rio Grande next March
to take part in the formal dedication
of the Mexican link IN the Inter-
American highway. All concerned be-
lieve visit from F. D. r. on that oc-
casion would have q timely and bene-
ficial effect on Mexican re-
lations and are hopeful he can be
persuaded to make the trip. The
nearest to Mexico that any President
of the United States ever went was
when Mr.. Taft met the President of
Mexico exactly half way across a new
bridge spanning the Rio Grande.
When Prof. George F. Warren Of
Cornell University, recently a White

OF farm leaders from IL Northeastern

Ship Lines Luckier Than
Airlines.
From the Jersey City Journal.

From the Jersey City journal.
Perhaps the repercussions after the
tragic airmail errors really have done
some good, although nothing can bring
back the lives of the boys who signed
up to fight for their country and met
their death in improperly equipped
planes, with insufficient experience,
delivering post cards.
At least, the Government now knows
enough not to cancel contracts whole
sale without hearing. The ship con-
tracts now under scrutiny in Wash
ington at least are getting scrutiny
and that's something to be thankful
for. The various lines holding con-
tracts are getting chance to say why
they think the contracts should not
be Cancelled
The Government spends a great deal
OF money on its ship mail contracts.
President Roosevelt wants to continue
to spend lot Of money on American
ships, but he seems to prefer a direct
subsidy to the lines rather than pay
ing them at the present rate for
carrying mail If we are to have a
merchant marine at all-and in time

q merchant marine which can be

M. Doumergue's Fall.

Resignation Of M. Herriot and hi.

smashed the Doumergue cabinet ano
Frances government of national unior
is at an end. Thus vaniShes the polit.
ical truce effected after last February.
popular uprising against Parliament
and consequent bloodshed in the
streets of Paris.
The truce government has collapsed
because Of the Radical Socialists re-
fusal to accept the Doumergue con-
stitutional reform program. The par
ticular issue on which they chose tc
quarrel was the proposal to clothe q
strengthened government under 9
prime minister with authority to dis
solve Parliament regardless Of the
approval of the Senate, hitherto re-
quired.
During the next few hours President
le Brun will call upon NJ Herriot to
form a new government. The former
premier Is ready to accept the task anG
is reported to intend to retain the
Doumergue ministry almost intact
while elevating one of its members, M
Andre Tardieu, to the rank of vice
premier.
Whether these moves will avert those
grave consequences foreShadowed by
NJ. Doumergue If the truce were broken
and his government oyerthrown, events
will presently show. The retiring pre-
mier predicted civil war, to be followed
by foreign invasion, if the politicians
upset his reform program. They have
dared to do 50. On the eve Of their
defiance, M. Doumergue received as
surances from organizations represent
ing three and q half million war vet
Grams, business men, peasants, land
lords and taxpayers, that they heartily
support his plan to take bloc politics
and factional intrigue out of govern
ment and give France a regime actu-
sted by the dictates Of national well
fare rather than the ambitions Of
scheming statesmen.
Reduced to essentials, the situation
Is clear-cut contest between the
people and the politicians. Passions
are running high. The Chamber Of
Deputies has reconvened in an atmos-
phere Of bitterness fully matched by
unrest among the masses. Socialists
and Communists await the opportunity
such turmoil offers them. Prophecies
of sanguinary conflict are freely made
Memories Of the Stavisky scandal, with
its unholy alliance between crime and
politics, are revived. New resentments
against the ruling class were created
by the inadequate protective measures
amid which the King Of Yugoslavia
was assaSsinated at MarSeille.
The emberS of another French rev.
olution are aglow. Frances we'll wish
ers will hope that the logical thinking
for which her people are famed will
lead promptly to a calm solution of
problems that bristle with danger for
the peace, If not for the very exist
ence, of the republic.

Disagreement of the
Patent Office Building
To the Editor of Tha Star.

To the Editor Of The Star:
May I through your paper add my
protest against the disfiguring of the
south side Of the Patent Office Build
ing? If F street at that point must be
widened better tear down the build
ings on the south side of the street.
I agree with Mr.. Alexander Sidney
Lanier. whose letter in The Star I
have just read, that 1t would be far
better to tear the whole building down
than to leave q great debased front to
injure in one way or another every
person who shall thereafter look on it.
Here is building of character and of
cultural value. Would that the same
could be said of the mess of big new
buildings just being completed on
Pennsylvania and Constitution ave-
nues. +. B. LIVINGSTONE.

The science Of the game is secondary
to the running, the showing, the push
ing, the tackling, the impact of body
against body.
Many feel that q young man who Is
willing and able, nay, eager, to play
foot ball ought to have something in
his subsequent character which would
enable him to far outshine those who
did not play.
Perhaps the most foot ball, rs 9
| sport, shows to the interested observer
| is that the man who can play 1t has
real reserve Of solid strength and
muscle which will help him in later
| life.
If one attempts to prove, by Later
success In life, that foot ball men In
high school and college are most
likely to succeed, an equally long list
of successes may be drawn up from
men who never played game in their
| lives.
What the ability to play the game
proves Is that q man has good bones
above all big enough around to permit
plenty OF musculature. The small
boned person Is the one in danger In
foot ball game, as in any melee.
A**&
It would be dangerous. therefore, To
charge the self-important gentleman
with having been foot ball artist.
1t takes more than game to make
such q fellow!
1t requires q mind. and q certain
kind OF mind, a mind which has always
been something OF q mystery TO those
OF us who have known many success
ful men. in many walks Of life. who by
no means seemed at all impressed with
their own abilities and successes.
They simply took ability and success
for granted, and let 1t 60 at that
That they had done anything unusual
in any sense, they did not seem to
feel. 1t was no more, evidently. than
they had expected.
What might have upset them was
anything less.
The self important gentleman swag-
gers.
If he gets into public vehicle, he
wants to take up two-thirds OF the
seat. and usually does.
Just one seat would not ease his
mind. 1t Is his mind which Is his
trouble. He ought to do something
about 1t, but how can he?
He is at once q cause and effect
and must take himself, as We all
must, for better or worse.
There is not much chance for real
reform. in this world. because the
process Is begun too late.
The years mold us, and the slant
Of the mind becomes as set" as the
carriage Of the shoulders. The fabric
OF the intelligence has q pattern all
Its own, in every case. There Is no
use in any one else trying to change
it, and very little on the part Of the
person involved. He. least of all,
has any chance with himself.
Yet the world goes right ahead de-
manding changes. changes which by
no possibility may be made.
In the case OF the big gentleman
one may envy his enthusiasm over
himself, and admit that II more men
had 1t. there would be less carping
in the world, and more satisfaction.
What the world needs is more OF
this self-satisfaction which plays one
up in ones own esteem as being a
right smart fellow. none better. in a
world in which other men are mostly
dubs.

SHOOTING STARS.

The citizens all vote one way:
When voices in harmonious glee
Proclaim faith from question free.
When the initials that we view
Are just 20. K" and "P D. @"
And every thorougfare we meet
To Gladtown is a one-way street.
When all our savings are secure
And every character is pure,
Life will grow weary. there's no doubt,
With nothing left to talk about!
