STANFORD POWER
HELD NOT ENOUGH
Battle at Pasadena Seems
Sure to Be Filled With
Thrilling Feats.
BY PAUL w. ZIMMERMAN,

~ ASADENA, CALL. January l.
- Mighty foot ball teams of
Southern Methodist University
\ and Stanford clash today for
Rose Bowl supremacy, one Of the Ma
tons prime foot ball prizes.
Out of the ranks of the opposing
teams likely will streak new star,
destined to take his place in the Rose
tournament armament along with
Eddie Casey, Brick Miller. Ernie New
ers, Elmer Layden, Pooley Hubert,
Erny Pinkert, Don Zimmerman, Al
Barabas and Dixie Howell.
Advance favoritism indicated the
newcomer was to be Texan, for the
untamed Mustangs, the masses have
decided. will celebrate the Rose fiesta
games twenty-first birthday anniver-
sary with victory.
Conditions Are Ideal.
WARN weather and clear skies were
forecast to complete the holiday
picture for the fortunate $4,000 ticket
holders and the gladiators.
The West, twice disappointed by
this same stalwart Stanford team,
predominated the picture in numbers,
certain 1886 would be Stanford
year. Vocally they were outdone by
$4,000 Texans, who were sure Cali
fornia was mistaken for the third
successive time.
Statistically, the unbeaten S. M. U.

the teams were at a physical peak.

Monk Moscrip, star end, would find
his left knee strong enough to carry
him through the torrid contest
Southern Methodist anxiously Won

signal-shouting fullback, could make
his weakened knee behave.
Much Depends on Grayson.
STANFORD, as in other years, was
expected to resort to power, built
around the crushing drives of Bobby
Grayson, all-America fullback.
Little Bobby Wilson, fleet-footeo
Mustang, whose swift thruSts and all
treachery also gained him highest
national honors, figured to be the In
vaders' threat.
Whoever the hero and whatever
the outcome, there were few who
felt that this game would want fol
sational developments.
Southern Methodist, with diversi-
ned attack. held a marked edge Of

the Texans could call on four passers

For Amazingly Quick Relief
Get Genuine Bdver Aspirin

If you suffer from pains of neuritis
what you want is quick relief.
Genuine Bayer Aspirin tablets
give quick relief, for one reason, be-
cause they dissolve or disintegrate
almost instantly they touch mois-
ture. (Note illustration above.)
Hence when you take a real
Bayer Aspirin tablet it starts to dis
solve almost as quickly as you
swallow it. And thus is ready to
start working almost instantly =.
headaches, neuralgia and aeuritis
pains start easing almost at once.
That's why millions never ask for
aspirin by the name aspirin alone
when they buy, but always say
"BAYER ASPIRIN" and see that
they get it.
Try it. You'll say it's marvellous.

Ethical Standards.

w. j. Cameron, speaking over the
radio from Detroit last evening, told q
Nationwide audience that, according to
his observation, ethical standards still
are dear to the American people. He
explained that in the course of his Sum-
mer travels in the Corn Belt he again
and again had encountered farmers who,
referring to certain agrarian policies of
the Roosevelt administration. had used
the expression: "'Tain't right" Hope is
not dead, he declared, so long as men,
bribed to silence as they may be, still
are possessed of a conscience about such
matters.
But Mr.. Cameron, had he wished,
might have discovered the same spiritual
integrity in the big cities of the land.
1t is, indeed, fact subject to abundant
proof that the great majority of the
population is honest. Granted that
crime waves periodically sweep over the
country and that altogether too many
individuals come into conflict with the
law for sins of which they ought to be
ashamed, America yet has better record
for civilized behavior than some critics
are prepared to acknowledge. The
United States is the melting pot" of all
races; for years there migrated to the
New World large proportion Of those
who got into difficulties with the authori-
ties in their original homes abroad
there was no effective immigration bar
rier to keep them out and, once they
had been admitted, they raised havoc
wherever they went, as might have been
expected.
The average person, however, does not
wilfully offend. Two or three genera
tions of tradition have disciplinary
effect upon most Americans. They
gladly conform to pattern Of conduct
which is rational, just and fair in char
acter. Perhaps it is not deliberately
thought out as a program of life; per-
haps it is merely instructive. But the
effect is the important thing. Social
order depends upon it. And progress
also is represented in the aspect of it to
which Mr.. Cameron called attention
The people can neither be bought nor
sold so long as they have convictions
about what is honest and what is not.
A psychologist probably would decide
that those who are capable of seeing one
policy as "'Tain't right" would consider
another as "'Tis right!"-a distinction
of supreme value in a democracy in
which everybody, except aliens, lunatics,
convicted felons and residents of the
District Of Columbia, may vote.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES B. TRACEWELL.

II you want to have some. fun in q
dry Autumn, put on tho spray in the
garden and watch the birds.
They will have the lime of their young
lives, bathing in shallow pools in the
grass, strutting in the fine spray OF
the hose.
Be sure to use the nozzle turned to the
fine spray, as this enables even the
smallest birds to 60 completely under
the shower.
This show, at this time Of year, is
more fun than the famous barrel OF
monkeys.
Two brown thrashes did most of the
monkey-shines in one yard. They spent
almost an hour, that dry day just be-
fore the rain, bathing and preening.
One of the best ways to bring a
rain, of course, is to run a garden hose
all day.
This is a fact known to most house
holders.
Though there may not be cloud in
the sky in the morning. after the hose
has been running for several hours q
haze will come over the sun.
BY afternoon the sun will be COM
pletely under the clouds. 1t may not
rain, but it will appear definitely cloudy.
And If the operation Is repeated the
next morning, rain almost always comes
by evening.
Thus the householder, whoever he
may be, is a rainmaker of the very
first order. although the Weather
Bureau sniffs at his abilities.
-
Those brown thrashers, almost as
large as pigeons, lost no time in getting
under the hose, that first morning.
They fairly pranced in, much as
youngsters run into the surf.
Flapping their wings and twisting
their necks, the thrashers walked
around in the grass finally coming to
a little low spot, where about half
inch of water had collected.
This made an ideal bird bath.
Squatting down, in that peculiar way
of birds, the thrashers spread out their
wings on the grass, craning their necks
and flirting their tails.
One saw what large, powerful birds
they were.
They are the "merry brown thrush
Of legend, but no thrushes at all, in

And of course, he gets that name,
"thrasher," from his habit of threshing

No bird has 4 more expressive tail

imaginative of a pendulum.

song:

Of the money places" instead Of the
next to last, with its larger reward.
Next season may be another story.
That is always the hope of the base ball
performer and patron. Washington, for
SO many years mere trailer in the field
OF league contestants, surprised the
sporting world in 1924 by not only win
ming the league championship, but by
taking the decision in the world series.
The next year it repeated by winning
the league championship and disap-
pointed the Capital by losing the series.
In 1888 the Capitals team came back
to glory by winning the league cham
pionship and then failed in the series.
Surprises are always in order in base
ball. Each game holds its potentialities
for surprise; each seasons race may
bring dark horse to the front. There
was never a more unguessable sport.
That is why 1t prospers as a form of
entertainment. There was no particular
surprise that New York should elbow
Detroit out Of the league leadership,
but there has quite definitely been q
surprise that Washington should have
been a serious contender for place"
honors and that it ended the season with
so high a score of games won.
