been unable to spend so much time

ers who, with no love for dogs, no
knowledge of the science of breeding,
no interest in the betterment of any
breed, acquire one or more females,
feed them inadequately, breed them
at every opportunity and promiscu-
ously, sell seventh-rate puppies with
no stamina at any price the traffic
will bear, with no regard for the costs
of keeping the mother or rearing the
pups, and then, when their business
dies, allow their puppy machines to
starve to death or to become menace.
The animal rescue league wiuld per-

out these puppy factories and put
them permanently out OF business.
THE Old Dominion Kennel Club is
planning another puppy match. to
be held at the Town Hall in Falls
Church on December z. This will
be an afternoon match. The exact
hour and the list of judges will be

prove a magnet for people who want
to look over the various breeds before
deciding on their Christmas puppies.

ard Jones of California. Gil Dobie of

the sharpshooting has not been par

Of Jones and Dobie, over long stretch

Public Knows Material Tells.


the foot ball-following public final
" has soaked up the well known fact
that the material, not the coach, is
the main factor in foot ball success
or failure. Good coaches will, of course,
get more out of good material than
mediocre mentors. It's also automatic
that the best coach in the country will
make no real headway without ade-
quate talent.
Thus, instead Of popping of about
the coach Of losing team. most old
grads this season are adopting more
practical manners and methods
They're going out and doing something
about sending bigger and better mate
rial to the old alma matters halls Of
learning. Or they are taking the
strings and the restrictions of the sit
uation that kept good athletic pros
poets from matriculating and. having
matriculated, from getting along rea-
sonably well.
If you haven't been studying the
relatively insignificant portion Of
newspaper space devoted to "fresh-
man foot ball results" you have been
missing one Of the most interesting
sidelights Of the current campaign.
Old Grads Study Freshman.
THE old grads have been studying
these returns. Old Blues didn't
miss the significance of the fact that
Ysle's freshmen trounced Princeton's
yearlings. Cornell, aided by its new
scholarship plan, has come up with a
highly promising freshman squad to
Offset the effects of dismal varsity

terial in the process of development.
So it goes the length and the breadth
Of the foot ball land, among colleges
large and small.
First-year coaches have helped quiet
che clanor of the non -combatants
this season by producing some ex-
ceptional results. This list includes
Stub Allison of California, Madison
Bell of Southern Methodist, Bernie
Moore Of Louisiana State and Lynn
Waldorf Of Northwestern.
Perhaps all four should give a vote
of thanks to their predecessors, as well
as the alumni, for furnishing or leav-
ing over the material needed to obtain
winning results. They have made q
remarkable showing, nevertheless.
