Modern Football

Football players are wearing
silk pants this year. Colors have
been stepped up and diversified,
in chromatic competition. Ohio
State gets a beautiful blonde-co-
ed to pose in the new Buckeye
uniform. The Harvard breeks
are of gold silk, with sweaters
and headgear of flaming crimson.
Dartmouth has a ziegfeldian get
UP of silver pants and green
stockings, sweaters and helmets.
Holy Cross sports silver pants,
with the rest Of the outfit purple.
Army has FURNISHED gold head
guards. Ohio State has shiny
balloon silk, satiny pants, gray in
front and scarlet in the back, with
scarlet sweaters and headguards.
Yale has substituted for its ira
ditional blue a new reSurgent,
screaming blue of much greater
attention-getting quality. Barring
the gold headguards, Army still
likes to be a little tough. The
boys still play without stockings.
St. Mary's flashes red sweaters,
with white epaulet, red pants and
white stockings.
How come? It's a fast box
office angle, and neither the IA
nous Bulletin % of the Carnegie
Foundation nor all the tut-tuttlng
of the deans and presidents has
affected or lessened the CONNER
cial phase of big-time football in
the slightest degree. There's a
spot in football right now for
Earl Carroll or Norman Bel
Geddes.
REHEARSE TO MUSIC
Preparing a top-bracket football
team for one of its big games is
comparable-in expense, detail
and showmanship-to readying a
big Broadway show. The money
rolls out and, paradoxically, red
pants help get the outfit out OF
the red. There is vast amount
of showmanship going on in foot
ball which the public never knows
about.
For instance, take those bril-
liant, rhythmic backtield or line
mass shifts. In several colleges
this maneuver is rehearsed to
music. It is swift and dynamic
pageantry, fit for the Field OF
the Cloth of Gold, for which the
modern gridiron substitutes, and 1t
gets the money.
It has to! In about 20 leading
American colleges the annual foot
ball take runs from around
$500 900 to $1,00O,O00 year. Yale
and Notre Dame being in the lat.
ter class. Football has to carry
most of the load for other college
sports. Huge stadia are built with
bond issues. Year by year, as the
new open game enables former
shortenderS to get into the top
line-ups, competition increases and
smart showmanship, with players
more and more dolled up, becomes
increasingly important.
Oddly enough, it was the corn
fed Middle West that led the way
| to Franz LehaS football, and II

With controversy raging over
the anticonstitution activities OF
the Democratic Administration,
Representative Caroline ODay
Cd of New York and close
friend of Mrs. Roosevelt recently
wrote her secretary for copies OF
the famous document.
The search began for a place
in the nations Capital where
free copies of the Constitution
could be secured. None was found
after a checkup was made at all
Government departments.
The majority of these places
did not even have copies for sale

WORD STYLISTS
Since the inauguration Of Presl'
dent Roosevelt there has ema'
mated from the White House no
singular language.
His writings and addresses are
the commonplace utterances OF
the upstate New Yorker-nelther
good nor bad.
In the days of woodrow wilson
the effusions were mastery eX
amples of Workmanship.
Warren Harding used the com
mon rhetoric of the country edi
tor although some of his speeches
used new words such as nor
malcy" which provoked wide
spread comment among styllsts
Coolidge was referred to by the
English as the master OF dldac
tics" His speeches were pedan
tic, dogmatic.
Hoover uttered the verbiage o1
the engineer.
From his lips and pen came tne
words and phrases which the en-
gineer would have used at a dl
rectors' meeting instead OF those
of the philosopher and stylist.
From RooSevelt's lips have come
no singular emanations.
The "fire-side chats" thu
"homy talks" and the Sterl
messages have been NOTHING
more than the talk of the aver
age man.

adjust itself Immediately to the eff
cient meeting of emergency conditions,
or of the inef1iciency or lack of Ger
tain special items Of equipment"
The new General Headquarters Air
Force plan should be pushed to its ulti-
mate conclusions and should be studied
by the Navy as well as the Army, the
commission reported. Personnel and
equipment Of the air forces should be
expanded and kept at the highest
pitch by careful original selection and
diversified training.
The commission recommended that
Intense study and prompt remedy
should be given to the inter-relation
ship Of the National Defense Services. I"
1t also recommended that budgetary
practices Of the Army and Navy with
respect to aeronautical matters should
be standardized for easy comparison,
and that number of officer pilots
should be exchanged by the Army and
Navy and given duty with active air
units of the other service. Closer CO.
ordination of Army and Navy expert
mental and development work was
urged. 1t also was recommended that
pilots of the Army and Navy be as
signed to civil activities, especially to
air transport service, for study.
Improvement In Army.
There should be immediate and posi-
tive action to improve the situation in
the Army, with special reference to
the Air Corps, it was recommended.
The authority to select a chief of Air
Corps from among all the officers of
long service in that arm, now expired,
should be renewed, 1t was stated.
The maximum term of active service
of reserve pilots Of the Army and Navy
should be increased to at least three
years and a cash payment should be
given upon termination of duty ito
ease the shock of transference to civil
ian life" The aviation reserves should
be materially strengthened and receive
a higher priority in allotment of funds,
1t was recommended Special reserve
classification should be created for es-
Sential personnel of airline organiza-
tions, the commission said.
The commission urged creation of a
new type of government insurance for
reserve officers, covering aviation haz-
ards exclusively, and available in
amounts beyond the present $4,000
limitation. Reserves should receive
the same protection in cases of injury
or death in line of duty as regular
officers, it was recommended.
There should be created a special
classification for officer personnel of
special engineering ability and indus
trial experience in the aviation field
in both services, the commission
found
Dealing with the troublesome ques-
ton of aircraft procurement, which
has resulted in an open breach be-
tween Congress and the chief of the
Air Corps, Maj. Gen. Benjamin D.
Foulois, the commission declared that
the paramount importance of quality
in military aircraft should be recog-

ton with adjustments of our pres
ent methods of organization in or
der to meet new and additional re-
sponsibilities.
There are detailed questions,
however, that require early action.
Our extended mail contracts with
airlines expire on or about March
/, and existing legislation dealing
with primary and secondary routes
should be revised before that time.
The commission suggests that the
Interstate Commerce Commission
be given temporarily the power to
lower or increase airmail rates as
warranted in their Judgment after
full investigation. The purpose of
this is to prevent the destruction
of any efficiently operated part of
the present system pending suitable
consideration by the Congress OF
what permanent measures should
be taken and what amendment, if
any, the present general transpor-
tation policy of the Government
should undergo.
COncurS IL Profits
Are Not Too Large.
1 concur in this recommendation
of the Federal Aviation Commission
provided always that the grant of
this duty to the Interstate Com
merce Commission be subject to
provisions against unreasonable
profits by any private carrier. On
account of the fact that an essen
tial objective during this temporary
period is to provide for the continu-
alton of efficiently operated COM
panies and to guard against their
destruction. it is only fair to sug-
geSt that during this period any
profits at all by such companies
should be a secondary considera-
ton. Government aid in this case
is legitimate in order to save COM
panies from disastrous loss but not
in order to provide profits.
The commission further recon-
mendS the creation of a temporary
air commerce commission. In this
recommendation / am unable to
concur. I believe that we should
avoid the multiplication of sepa-
rate regulatory agencies in the field
of transportation. Therefore in
the interim before a permanent
consolidated agency is created or
designated over transportation as
whole. division of the Interstate
Commerce Commission can well
serve the needs of air transporta-
tion. In the granting of powers
and duties by the Congress orderly
government calls for the adminis-
tration of executive functions by
those administrative departments
or agencies which have functioned
satisfactorily in the past and, on
the other hand, calls for the vest
ing of judicial functions in agencies
already accustomed to such powers.
1t is this principle that should be
followed in all of the various as
poets of transportation legislation.

LONDON, January 31.-French
fears over Nazi objectives in Memel
and Poland clouded the long-herald-
ed Anglo-French conference on Euro
pean peace today.
Although British officials were op-
timistic that today's visit by Premier
Flandin and Pierre Laval, French
foreign minister, could contribute to
the continents stability, they were
vague as to the probable definite
achievements.
France Is Skeptical.
French officials feel the talks will
be greatly handicapped by the ag'-
gressive spirit displayed by the Nazi
press regarding Memel, semi-auton-
omous district inundated to Lithuania,
and by uneasiness over the activities
in Poland of Hermann Goering,
Reich minister of aviation.
1t was understood the French will
demand German and Polish adher-
ence to the Eastern Locarno and
Rome pacts before making any i'm
portant concessions.
Laval and Flandin also may sound
out the British on the currency ques-
ton, but no important decisions were
believed likely.
U. S. Absence q Factor.
The view generally is held that no
definite action on stabiliZation may
be taken in view of the absence OF
the United States from the discus
sion and doubt over the Supreme
Courts decision in the gold clause
case.

Creation of Ne,U Junior Cabinet
Posts Urged by Air Committee

Many changes In the Federal Gov
eminent organization in washington,
including creation of a new Air Com
merce Commission, transfer of the
Weather Bureau from the Department
of Agriculture to the Commerce De-
partment, enlargement Of the National
Advisory Committee for Aeronautics
and creation of three new Offices in
the Junior cabinet are recommended
by the Federal Aviation Commission
in its aviation policy report made pub
lie today.
The new commission, an independ-
ent body, would coordinate the func-
tions of number of existing govern
mental agencies and would absorb
some of them.
New Post Proposed.
It is recommended that there be
created an additional Assistant Secre-
tary of Commerce, especially quail
fled to supervise the responsibilities
Of the department under the air COM
merce act" This official later might
take over supervision of the depart
4u44CC4OAAS W1OAA AC6oAo W OeAASA
forms of transportation, it was stated.
It was recommended that the Bu-
reau of Air Commerce be legally recog-
nized as a purely professional and
technical organization, and that its
personnel. including division heads,
should have a high degree OF secur-
ity of tenure"
In recommending transfer of the
Weather Bureau, the commission
pointed out that, although the bureau
still does important work for agricul-
ture, its primary functions today have
to do with transportation. 1t also
was recommended that authority
should be given to detail certain memr
bers of the Weather Bureau for train
ing, at Government expense, in the
