ish fencing champion Of the 1882
Olympic Games, may and then
again she may not participate in
the 1885 Olympics at Berlin.
In a statement released through
authorities of Mills College, ex

revealed she had been invited to
represent Germany at the games,
and that she has accepted pro-
viding she is granted full German
citizenship rights.
THE letters were written some
time ago." she said. IT have re-

Thus, any controversy over her
participation in the games is pre-
mature, the talented teacher ex

Miss Mayors statement followed
one in New York by Rabbi

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. 4.
Charges that American participa'

Germany under the SwaStika flae
mean approval of all Nazism
stands for, were termed patiently
absurd" today in an editorial ap-
pearing in the Yale Daily News.
Pointing out that the president
of the German Olympic com
mittee is Jewish and that Helene
Mayer, Jewish fencer now in this
country, has been invited to at.
tend the games, the editorial con-
tinued:
"The truth of the matter is that
those opposed to American par
ticipation do not limit themselves
to this, the only relevant issue,
Obviously, if they did there would
have been no such disproportion'

Their attitude is admirably
summed up by the statement of
jeremiah T. Mahoney, president
of the United States Amateur
Athletic Union: I believe that
participation in the games under
the SWastika implies the tacit
approval of all the Swastika SYM
bolizes.'
"This attitude is patiently alb.
Surd. Carried to its logical con-
clusion, it would imply that no
intercourse of any kind with
Germany should be tolerated.
"This confusion of political is

sport can accomplish no conceiv-
able good.

Lou Little was in a caustic
mood as he drove his Columbia
football team through a stiff
drill, opening practice for the
Syracuse game next Saturday
which, Louis scouts report, will
be as tough a test as the Penn
sylvania battle three week-ends
ago.
The shadows on Baker Field,
lights sprang up like magic eyes
in the towering apartments
across the river, but Lefty Lou
wouldn't let up. He merely or
dered the arc lights switched on,
and continued driving his varsity
against the second team.
Plenty Riled
The Colum bia mentor was
plenty riled by his players show
ing against Cornell, and he made
no attempt to conceal his bitter
disappointment.
"I was completely flabber-
gasted," Little told the writer, as
he attempted to explain the I'm.
expected tie with weakest team
in Cornell history.
'They fought us right off our
feet. We were back on our heels
all the time, just as we were
against Penn. After the Michigan
game I thought we were going
places, but against Cornell we
were terrible.
"Barabas was the only man on
the squad who played a good
game. Andy Checkovich and
George Furey were o. K. on de-
fense, but terrible otherwise.
Schultze was being taken out of
every play: the Columbia student
paper said Saffa played good
game because their reporter saw
him make a couple Of nice down
field tackles, but on the line he
was sad. They missed the fact
that he wasn't cross-blocking all
through the game.
"Dobie has done a swell job
with the material he has, but we
should have beaten them. They
outfought us, that's how they held
us to a tie.
"And they were in better condi
ton at the end than we were.

boys"
Changes, Maybe
That several changes would be
made in the Lion lineup before
Syracuse is encountered was indi'
Gated by the experiments Little
made as he started work for the
orange. Charles Zielinski, a g.
foot, finch, 210-pound sophomore
tackle who prepped at Curtis
High School, and who saw action
as a sub against Cornell, replaced
Saffa in the workout, and prob
ably will start Saturday.
Maroon was In at guard, and

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-Notre

invitation to play in the Rose
Bowl in order to meet Southern
Methodist in the second annual
Sugar Bowl classic at New Orleans
on New Year Day.
While no official announcement
can be expected at this time, it is
known the South Bend authorities
are not inclined to have their grid
team engage in two intersectional
games with par western rivals to
the exclusion of not playing at
least one of the great teams OF
the South or Southwest. There
Is a very strong sentiment for the
Irish to accept the invitation to

Notre Dame plays Southern

While it is admitted the TrojanS
are far from a championship out,

Another factor said to have in.
fluenced the South Bend authori
ties to play in the Sugar Bowl
classic is the large number OF
former Notre Dame graduates now
coaching in the South and South

ball is accepted fundamental style
in these sections.

CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-Two new
men will be added to the Ameri-

season, William Harridge, league
president, announced here today.
The new umpires are Cal Hub

But one umpire, Charles Don

The American team which ami,
hilated Gallaudet last Saturday
is capable of turning the tables
on the Yellow-Jackets, if it re-
turns to the form exhibited in
the early season games. Led by
powerful, clever, busting and buck
ling Walter Dick, second leading
scorer of the Eastern section OF
the nation, the Eagles offensive
was working smoothly against the
boys from Kendall Green.
Dick carried the ball 20 times
during the half he played in the
GaIlaudet game and gained 143
yards for an average Of I'll yards.
In the previous five games he
carried the ball 70 times for a
total Of 479 yards or an average

Not only is membership Of the
new classes numerous, but there
has been a decided Improvement
in the average character Of the
plebes from the standpoint Of foot
ball availability.
Last years plebe class, whose
members are now eligible for the
varsity squad, contained more big
fellows than any class which has
ever entered the academy. In
fact, there were so many Of that
type that it was impossible to give
them all a real chance.
It is rare for a midshipman to
get any varsity playing in his first
year on the big squad. but numer-
Gus plebes of last year already
have made their debut on the var
sity.
Big List
From the plebes of last year the
varsity has received such players
as Fike, Sampson, Player and So
bale, ends; Lynch and Sloan,
tackles; Dubois and GunderSon,
guards: Andrews, center, and In
gram, Case, Antrim, Enrich, Nc
Farland and Rankin, all of whom
have done varsity playing, and sew
eral of whom are regarded as first
string varsity men.
The unusual amount of material
from the plebe class has enabled
Tom Hamilton to maintain three
distinct varsity teams this season,
which he uses as distinct elevens,
something which has never been
done before at the Naval Academy.
Another result of the unusual
amount Of material has been the
maintenance Of B Squad on the

CUTTING COURT RED TAPE

A LABANIA'S Legislature passed bill au-
L n thorizing sterilization Of criminals and
insane upon the approval of a state steriliza-
ton board.
Before acting on it. Gov Bibb Graves sent
to the Alabama Supreme Court for an adj
visory opinion on its constitutionality.
The court has just ruled that the bill, as
drafted. is unconstitutional But it went fur
Their It informed the Governor that if the
bill were amended to permit appeal from the
sterilization board to the courts, it would be
cons itutionaL
Whether or not one favors the purpose of
this BILL the rapidity with which the Alabama
court settled the constitutional question, and
its helpful advice to the executive, are in
striking contrast with the two-year delays in
final court action on national measures, and
with the recent opinions that have left the
President and Congress cropping in a mist for
new and constitutional procedures.

Court judge and received 99-year prison terms.

County and fed. leaving him in the car, when
the machine was in an accident. The sheriff
was not hurt.
IronicaI enough was the editorial appear
ing in Jasper newspaper which, comment
ing on the capture Of two desperate" kid
napers. said:
What difference between the methods Of
the local police and those Of the police in some
Of the larger cities. In some Of the latter
places crime has become 50 common that the
law-abiding residents have at times almost
despaired Of seeing justice carried out"
But was Justice" carried out?
Is it Justice" to sentence a boy to 80 years
in prison, boy 50 young that the state re-
formatory refuses to accept him?
Arch steinel, Of The Indianapolis Times,
found in Jasper a startling condition. He dis
covered that the 99-year sentence was due, in
part. to the fact that a deep-seated feud exists
between the 70-year-old Republican judge and
the 3O-year-old Republican prosecutor. The
prosecutor was too busy guiding a special
grand jury toward the indictment of minor
political appointee Of the judges to pay atten-
ton to the case Of the two boys.
Apparently stunned by the states reaction
to the staggering sentences meted out to the
children, the prosecutor now lays full blame
upon the judge. The prosecutor says he would
have fled lesser charges against the boys than
kidnapping.
Gov. Paul V. NIcNutt today was scheduled
to make an announcement in connection with
the case.
It is to be hoped that Gov. McNutt not only
VIII attempt to rectify the sentences of the
two children, but also will investigate the po-
Itical squabble raging in Dubois County.

time for the people to take a hand in things.

FOR QUICK SETTLEMENT

CENATOR NORRIS proposal for a constt-
~ tutional amendment to prevent five-to-
four decisions by the United States Supreme
Court on constitutional questions will provoke
a great deal of debate, certainly; but there is
one part of his plan which should meet wide
acceptance, and that is his scheme for giving
the Supreme Court original and exclusive
jurisdiction in all lawsuits involving consti-
tutional questions.
AS things are now. if you wish to test the
constitutionality of a law, you file suit in any
Federal district court. If that court feels the
law to be unconstitutional, it can restrain en-
forcement of the law; and many months may
elapse before the question finally reaches the
Supreme Court.
Senator Norris would have the issue taken
directly to the Supreme Court, without all
these intervening steps, and his idea looks
sensible. 1t might, in fact, be even more
sensible to have the court decide on a laws
constitutionality the moment it is passed,
before any attempt at enforcement is made.
Failing that, the Norris plan is at least step
in the right direction.
