CHINESE PENS GREAT BOOK ON
 ANCIENT LAND
Lin Yutang's My Country and My People Avail
 able in Juneau Library

Writing in the foreward of Lin Yutangs My Country and My People, book on Chinese life re- gently added to the Juneau Public Library shelves, Pearl S. Buck says: Tt is, think, the truest, the most profound, the. most complete, the most important book yet written about China This book is now available at the Juneau Public Ii brary to card holders,
 Lin Yutang, young Chinese who has lived in both Europe and Amer ica, has avoided, she says, the mis- takes of those books written in de- fense of that which is too great to need defense written to inpress foreigners and therefore unworthy of Chinan For Lin Yutang, by his own confession, holds his country above necessity of interpretation: s'I love my country he says, but I have taken care to conceal it from my countrymen, for one may wear the cloak of patriotism to tatters and in those tatters be paraded through the streets to ones death, fn China as in any other nation of the world"
 His approach to his subject is sim pie: One must approach through he sense of humanity The boys roughness and the girls daydreams and the ring of childrens' laughter and the batter of children's feet and the weeping of women and the corrows of men-they are all alike and only through the sorrows of men and the weeping of women can we truly understand nation" ,"
 Some quotations from a book which everyone should read: "Greatness is often the term we confer on what we do not under stand and wish to have done with" -"Once China had destiny. Once she was a conquerer. Now her
The Daily Alaska empire., 1935-12-20

greatest destiny seems to be merely to exist, to survive, and one cannot but have faith in her ability to do so when cne remembers how she has survived the ages, after the beauty that was Greece and the glory that was Rome long were vanished, remember how she has grown and remodeled foreign truths into her own likeness and absorbed foreign races into her own blood" Here is a nation whose poten- tial possibilities are unexplored, lacking in something to let loose these potential powers. Here is a nation of fine soldiers but bad cap tains. fine business men but bad business policies, fine friends but bad clubhouses, fine citizens but bad statesmen, fine democrats but bad republic" For time vet there will still be ugliness and pain but after while there will be color and beauty and simplicity, the even beauty and simplicity which distinguished old China. But more than that, there will be justice, too. I ask but patience from friends of China, not from my countrymen, for they have too much of it; and hope from my country men, for to hope is tonlive.' .''

forced one break to our adVan-
tage. That is how football games
are won.
West Virginia started out TO
sweep down the field and score a
touchdown. They ate up almost
so yards before putting the ball
over the line.
But when you're talking Of
breaks, it was over anxiety Of
our captain, Harry Deming, who
made their touchdown possible.
1t seemed for a second that we
had taken the ball on downs,
but Deming had charged a split
second too soon. He was offside.
We were penalized half the dis
tance to the goal line-about four
inches on the next play
Carder scored.
I'm serious about those four
inches. On foul committed in
side of the one yard line the
penalty is half the distance to the
goal line.
The Mountaineers broke our
line back and moved the ball
along, but we had just a little
too much reserve. The battle then
became a defensive strife, and it
was a case of seizing what op-
portunities presented themselves.
Hanken made a good play when
he blocked out Buskirk the last
West Virginia tackler on Plot
nicki'S run. That is winning foot
ball. Len made a fine save when
he clutched the ball and was off
running at top speed. But in the
last analysis, it was the blocking
that made the run possible.
Reeves did some fine defensive
playing. He intercepted three
passes and ran one of them for
a touchdown. He made many a
tackle.
West Virginia put a fine tackle
on the field in Stydahar. He was
hard to block and harder to get
down. He gave our interference
a very busy night of it. It would
be too bad if we had to play fel-
lows like this all reason.

Local Bikemen
Hold Meet

The bikemen Of the Century
Road Club Association will hold
its final meet Of the 1885 season
at the Polo Field tomorrow at 10
o'clock.
The Century cyclerS have made
impressive strides forward this sea-
son, placing well up in several
intra-State meets.
Robert Connor, president of the
club, though hampered by the
youth and inexperience Of the
riders, deserves much commenda-
ton for his work in handling the
boys on their out-of-town jauntS.
Butch Kennon, youthful senior
champ, rode well in the annual
South Atlantic championship two
hour team race held in Baltimore
recently. Kennon was teamed
with Buck McDougall, runner-up
in the D. C. championships.
"Heinie" Heinard, and Shoot
sic" MaddoX, Junior cycl0g SLarS,
were among the best on the At
lantic Seaboard, with Buddy Bow
man a hot contender.
Bits Horner and Ed Bieber Of
the "Old Guard" neither died or
surrendered, but the youngsters
erased them easily from the cham
pionShip picture.
Ralph jackson, 1884 Senior title
holder. was out Of competition
from injuries incurred early in the
season.
Following Sundays meet the
boys will rack up for the season
except for the Clock Memorial
race to be run in Baltimore.

all riders be on hand early in
order to facilitate the running off
of the events.
There will be q one-mile senior

1t was Ida Simmons flaShy
Norfolk aggregation that fell be-
fore the Richmond feminine
maple-spillers last Saturday.
The Richmond contingent boasts
an array of stars headed by Helen
Randlett. Miss Randlett is quite
a bowler, as her Ill average for
298 games last season will attest.
Miss Randlett says her greatest
thrill in the bowling game came
when Olivia Schmidt and herself
broke their own world record for
the ladies doubles competition
last September. Their combined
score was ITO.
Helen has several other bowling
achievements she can be mighty
proud of, yes, sir. She finished
third in the national tournaments

stakes and she had high average
in the Richmond and Capital
leagues, Richmond's major ladies'
duckpin circuits.
The rest of the Richmond
lineup will be composed of Lois
Clopton, who won the National
Singles crown in 1898; Margaret
Challoner, who finished seventh
in the Ladies Dixie; Olivia
Schmidt, who is considered one
of the finest doubles bowlers in
the South. and Phyllis Wells,
who carried a 106 average for
252 games last season.
In spite of Richmond'S stellar
lineup, Rosslyn is confident they
will win the match, pointing
directly to their stars.
First of all. Rosslyn has Lor-
raine Gulli, the worlds greatest
lady bowler in the opinion of
many experts. Lorraine has held
Al records since 1927.

happy incident relieved George
Washington of severe pressure.
Just a play or two before Plot
nicki fumbled under the impact
of a terrific tackle by Barnes, and
Onder recovered the ball just 81
yards away from the Colonial
goal line.
Emmett Moan faded back to
pass and Plotnicki covered his
zone, speared the ball on the Z.
yard line and sprinted out. He
picked up his blockers nicely, and
Hanken, who played a whale Of a
game all night took out Buskirk,
the last Mountaineer who had a
chance to make a tackle.
George Washington surprised
West Virginia with an onSide kick
and Hanken ran out to the side
lines on an attempted sleeper
play which was discovered and
foiled. A punt put the visitors
deep in their own territory, and a
punt was in order. Koken crashed
through to smother the effort
which bounced out of the end
zone for an automatic safety.
Breaks Fail
The Mountain men reeled un.
der this second stroke of football
fortune, but the breaks were not
through with them. A penalty
hurled back George washington
to it's own five-yard line with Is
yards to go, and the punt was
short. Carder caught it on the
37-yard line.
More chills chased up and down
the Spines of the crowd. But as
the visitors attempted another
pass, Reeves, a ball hawk all night
long, grabbed the leather and ran
70 yards for touchdown, covered
by interference that Swarmed out
of nowhere to cover his advance.
The blocked kick was not luck
Koken was playing tackle and he
executed a pretty play, swarmine
through to make a clean block
The short side back was sucked
out of position by the onrushing
G. w. end, and Koken cut inside
to make his play.
The runs from interception
were at once the result of fine
defense and bad covering by the
passer. Not once all night die

them thar hills who can outwait
Father Time and out-trade David
Harum, but they have never been
exposed to the refining in
fluences of higher education.
The best play in the repertoire
of the Mountaineers was a cut
back play over tackle that ate up
distance.
George WaShington's best play
was a West Virginia forward pass,
and the Colonials ate up distance
faster than a prairie fire ravages
the dry grass of autumn. In fact,
a West Virginia forward pass was
the only ground gamer the Colo
mails had. In the course Of the
entire night George washington
gained 48 yards from scrimmage,
to 1873 for their rivals. The Colo
mails made one first down on
rushing and one by penalty.

ing doubt that may live in the
minds of those who were not at
the scene of action, let us say that
George washington won by alert
defense that snatched victory out
Of the air. The Colonials scored
their is points in the second
period, repelling aerial attacks for
two touchdowns and blocking a
kick for a safety to round out
their total.
