Yesterday was a red letter day for the Hartford Scandals Soccer team who opened the newly organ iized Central Connecticut League with a startling to 3 Victory over the local Portuguese before small turnout at the Naugatuck Recre- ation Field. In another league tilt the Hartford Portuguese won over the Germans at Glastonbury, 6 to l.
 The Scandals trailing through most, of the game, uncorked a last minute rally to edge the locals. O.. Johnson scored two goals and Ot- toson and Granquist one each for the visitors. The losers, however, looked like the best team, but some tough breaks cost them the decision. The rain, seemed to play havoc too, with the Port booters.

WE SHOULD PROGRESS ALIKE


Arthur T.. Morgan, who is chairman of
the Tennessee Valley Authority and
in his spare time, so to speak-president
of Antioch college, tells his students at
the opening of the fall term that Amer
lea must begin to build character ION
the plane of social responsibility.
Now. it is the peculiar privilege OF col
lege presidents to mouth charming
phrases before a wide-eyed convocation
of newly arrived freshmen. But DR.,
Morgan's suggestion hits a new note, and
it might be worth a second look.
Each individual" he says, must de-
ternline to follow for himself the dis
ciplined good life, regardless of the
pressure of the mass
Does this mean reversion to the loose
talk about an "aristocraey of brains
that we heard so much about few years
ago? Not necessarily; for DR.. Morgan
goes on to add:
'sThere must grow a willingness to
share the common lot and progress only
as the common lot can progress. To
large extent, that means change OF
personal aims and desires.
And it is precisely in this direction
that the present trend in American life
must swing if the high hopes OF the last
Is months are not to be dashed.
1t does no harm to recall that it was
some such notion as this which helped,
in the early years of the republic, to
build that great American dream which
has always dazzled our eyes just beyond
the horizon.
Men came to believe, in those fresh
new days, that human life could be lived
on a basis different from anything prev
iously tried; that the rights of the hum
blest man could be made as sacred as
tn rights of the mightiest, and that
progress should mean nothing at all un-
less it means a better life and truer
freedom for the fellow at the bottom of
the heap.
1t was, and is, a noble dream. Like all
dreams, it has been stained and frayed
in its passage down through the years.
But it remains our finest heritage; and
if the confusion of this era is to mean
ANYTHING at ALL it must mean a revival
of that dream and new effort to attain
it.
And, as DR.. Morgan suggests, before
we can attain it we must find new men
tai attitude We must, somehow, get this
willingness to share the common lot
and progress only as the common lot
progresses"
Only in that way can we make OF the
new deal anything more than an emp
ty set of slogans.
