ARMS INQUIRY PRAISED.
Episcopal Convention Urges Youth to
Fight Only in Defense.


ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., october 13
P).-A demand for Government con-
troll Of the munitions industry and a
call to the youth of the land never to
bear arms save in defense of their
own soil were made today before the
fifty-frst Triennial General COnven-
tion of the Protestant Episcopal
Church in the United States.
The two legislative bodies of the
convention, its 1913 bishops and $40
deputies, will vote before the ses-
sions end on a resolution proposed
today by Rev. Henry B. WaShburn of
Cambridge, Mass, calling for Gov
ernment regulation of arms manufac-
ture and commencing the Nye Com
mission investigation. Action on this
measure was deferred by the House of
Deputies.
A resolution condemning persecu-
tion of the Jews at the hands of
nationalistic and racially prejudiced
groups was presented to the House of
Deputies by the Rev. R. o. Kevin of
Kirkwood. Mo.
The Rev. Arthur Lee KinSolving of
Boston presented a resolution calling
for support of the Catholic Church's
League for Decency in motion pictures.
A change in the name of the church
to the American Episcopal Church"
was proposed by Clifford P. More
house of Milwaukee, Wis.
BY unanimous vote, the House of
Bishops declined to accept the resig-
nation of Right Rev. John McKim,
missionary bishop of North Dakota.
Sympathy for fellow Christians in
Germany in dealing with state
which sets no limits to its claims"
was expressed in the report of the
Joint Commission on the World Con-
ference on Faith and Order to the

Has Nine-Year Record.
Bob La Toilette first won his spurs in
a senatorial contest back in 1925, soon
after the death of his father, the late
Senator La Toilette. He won again in
1928. He is no longer the baby in the
Senate He has had nine years as a
legislator, and the people look on him
as level-headed. Furthermore, the fact
that he supported many of the New
Deal measures in the present Congress
and has said that he will support
President Roosevelt whenever he con-
siders him right sets him right with
many of the New Deal Democrats
here. The kind words which the Presi-
dent said of La Toilette in his Green
bay, Wis. speech last August are doing
him no harm among the Democrats,
either.
In primary election last month, $685.
600 votes were cast for Democratic,
Republican and Progressive candi-
dates. Two years ego the combined
vote of Roosevelt and Hoover in Wis
consin was upwards of l,047,000. 1t
is not difficult to see that the half
million voters who did not vote in the
primary this year can easily determine
the results on November 6. In the
primary, the Democratic candidates
polled 222,306; the ProgreSSiveS, 1872
l2l. and the Republicans, 149,176. On
the face of these primary returns. the
Democrats have the edge for the cleo
ton But here again the big Stay-at-
home vote in the primary is to be
reckoned with, if it comes out in
the general election.
Polls Favor La Toilette.
Newspaper polls give Bob La Fol-
lette decided advantage in the sena-
torial race. These same polls, on the
other hand, give distinct advantage
to Gov Schemedeman, Democrat, over
Phil La Toilette, the Progressive
gubernatorial nominee, and Green,
the Republican.
The poll results bear out the state
mentS made by both the Democrats
and the Republicans that Bob La
Toilette is the man they have to beat
in the Senate race, and by the Re-
publicans and ProgreSsives that
Schmedeman is the candidate to be
feared in the gubernatorial contest.
All of this estimating preSupposes
lot of split-ballot voting, thing
which has occurred in Wisconsin in
the past. There is always the dan
ger to Senator La Toilette and the
rest of the candidates of the Pro-
gressive party and of the Republican
party that wave of Democratic New
Deal sentiment may sweep the State
at the last minute and carry the party
ticket to victory. But while the A.
A A. has done a good deal for Wis
consin farmers, it has not particularly
benefited the dairy farmers, of whom
there are many. and Secretary Wal
lace did not help matters when he
said that he considered "a cents a

THERES JOY among thousands

streets today. for George WASH
ington University has regained
the services of its stellar center, burly
Red Rathjen, for the all-important
game with Louisiana State, which fea-
lures the Colonial alumni homecom-
ing Saturday in Griffith Stadium.
The okay was placed ron Rathjen's
return to action by Coach-Trainer
Roland Logan, who announced that
the 200-pound Kansas redhead would
rejoin his mates in practice immedi-
ately.
Rathjen's return means that George
Washington's chances in Saturdays
big game are definitely stronger than
at any time heretofore, although cold
dope still indicates victory for Capt.
Biff Jones Tigers from Baton Rouge.
With him in the lineup the Colonlals
will present their best defense against
forward passes and nearly 30 pounds
more weight in the line than they had
against Vanderbilt last week. Not only
that, but they will boast one Of the
hardest tacklers in this section of the
country with this aggressive junior
again handling the snapper back
duties.

nor one who wields sceptre of

education has sadly been neglec-
ted. Because a couple of Tech and
Western players tossed 6sts in furry

and so we'll controlled by officials of
the game that play was resumed in a
minute and no player even elected
from the contest, it has been deemed
necessary to ban foot pail; deemed
expedient to let the boys grow up
without getting the opportunity to
learn to take a real knock and grin
DR.. Kramer. as usual. was absent
from the scene of action. The few
facts he had at his disposal when he
instigated the cancellation may be
seen in his general statement: Il be-
lieve that it is true that this alterca-
ton between players resulted in con-
siderable turmoil in the two opposing
teams The fact that the audience
crowded down upon the field and that
there was not sufficient control Of
this audience added to the trouble"
What the good DR.. Kramer probably
meant to say instead of audience was
crowd, or throng. Audience means
an assembly of hearers.
This isn't important, Of
course, except that it might
show that DR.. Kramer easily Is
capable of mistakes.

Parents of High School

BY FRANCIS E. STAN.

r N A dolorous fashion unpre-

| sports history, a deserving
Tech High foot ball eleven
today lost the most coveted of
all non-academic scholastic
honors by an edict shifting sus-
piciously of prejudice against
athletics.
DR.. Stephen E. Kramer, first
assistant superintendent of schools,
has respectfully recommended that
the inter-high school contests not yet
played be abandoned for this year."
The action was taken, to use DIR.
Kramer's own words. Ito impress not
only upon the pupils, but upon the
public that the schools cannot con-
sent to the continuance of inter-high
school foot ball contests unless such
contests are carried on in the spirit
of good craftsmanship"
Cancellation Of the series and
depriving Techs foot ball
eleven Of championship. vir-
tually clinched and we'll de-
served, is DIR. Kramer's idea Of
making an impression.

Parents Take a Hand.

Y VERY likely the action has sue
v ceeded in making an impress
sion; but it is doubtful if the
impression is the kind DR.. Kramer
wished. Nor is it likely the matter
will be closed as quietly as his words,
Il respectfully recommend that the
inter-high contests not yet played be
abandoned for this year"
Already irate parents of schoolboys-
parents who have the vision to appre-
ciate the value of athletics and the
scope to foresee how punishment of
DR.. Kramer's brand might react in the
minds of schoolboys-have begun to
initiate against the assistant superin-
tendents decision, which is reported
to have been indorsed unanimously by
noncommittal principals of the five
high schools.
Already parents of several Tech boys
have prepared 10 present petition
and demand action from the Board of
Education, which has the power to in
quire into the action of the Board of
Principals and Dr.. Kramer.
What they will accomplish Is
problematical, in view of the
lack of the Board of Educa-
tons aggressiveness against DIR.
Kramer's athletic views in the
past.

CTATEMENTS such as Ingwersen's
y are not calculated to put Lee
mans mates in any too pleasant
frame of mind by the time the opening
whistle sounds. As a matter Of fact,
the Colonials are peeved at express
sions that Leemans has to carry the
load, and they are determined to prove
that on attack as well as defense
Tuffy will not be so burdened.
In addition to the likely appear
ance of Rathjen at center Saturday,
there may be another change in the

speedy sophomore end from Miami,
Okla. is a strong possibility to play
in Arnold Beneheld's right flank posi-
tion. He has been running with the.
varsity most of the time this week,
with Benefited nursing broken nose.

The Rose Bowl Tangle.


~HE West Coast may supply its
Rose Bowl entry next Satur-
day when Stanford and Wash
ington meet.
But the challenger or defender from
this side of the Rockies still is
dangling in the higher attitudes Of
ether.
Minnesota from the Midwest and
Princeton from the East would be the
first two nominations. but rules and
agreements bar the way to this un-
beaten pair.
This leaves Alabama leading
the Rose Bowl march at this
spot. with a record of three trips
to the West Coast and no de-
feats-no bad recommendation
when you think 1t over.
Tulane. L. S. U. and Rice follow
Alabama in the South, but Tulane still
has Colgate and L. S. U. to eliminate,
and the l.. S. U. game doesn't come
off until December 3, a trifle late
for both parties as far as any West
Coast invitation is concerned.
If the Navy could get by Notre
Dame, Pittsburgh and the Army, it
would be nominated by acclamation,
but even then it is doubtful that the
Navy would be allowed to make the
trip.
This leaves Pittsburgh and Colgate
leading in the East, provided both ride
safely through. Each has lost game,
but both are strong. Alabama has
Clemson, Georgia Tech and Wander
bilt left. There is no great chance
that any team from this group can
keep the Crimson tide bottled up.
So Alabama rides in front at this
spot with enough strength to stand
up against anybody.
The ideal Rose Bowl combina-
tion would bring together the
st-fying juniors Of Stanford
and Princeton-Grayson, Alus-
