Washington chose to play Pitts
burgh in the Rose Bowl game at
Pasadena "Way Down Yonder,
etc." beats California, etc." by
a few hundred miles and then
some, for the reason that New
Orleans drew for New Years Day
the football plum of the day
indeed, of the last five years
when it drew the Louisiana State
UniverSity-Santa Clara contest,
while the Rose Bowl drew a blank.
Sports writer's the country over,
including a number of scribeS on
the Pacific Coast, are agreed that
Washington pulled a gigantic
boner when the Huskies chose to
oppose the Panthers instead of
unbeaten L. S. U. in the Pasadena
game. (No longer can it be
called a classic.
Sweet Grid MOrsel
But what was Pasadena's loss
was New Orleans gain, and the
Louisiana metropolis is patting
itself on the back because of the
luck which gave the Sugar Bowl
the sweetest football morsel avail
able in years. AS for Pasadena,
and you may ask the ladies, vine
gar never may be turned into
Altar of Roses, and Washington
already has sprinkled the roses
with vinegar. It's sugar, Altar
of Roses, Christmas Night and
Joy Patou) for New Orleans. For
Pasadena it's faded roses and
vinegar.
The L. S. U.-Santa Clara game
is a natural" the Washington
Pitt game is "phoney." On this
point the vast majority of sports
writer's, East and West, North and
South, are agreed. Even the
scribes on the Pacific Coast have

HABIT PLAYS A BIG
PART IN OUR LIVES
Future Depends on Habits
Formed During Early
Part of Life
BIZ s. u. FUNK,

Life is made up of habits, habits cf
all kinds, good habits, pure habits. on
nobling, innocent, sincere, enriching, in
spring habits; habits that thrill, habits
that encourage, habits that make one
courageous, build new life, new hope,
new incentive, new detectives, new pur-
poses. Habit makes one great or small,
habits makes one rich or poor in charac-
tetr, in learning, in experience, in stand
ards. Habit is dominating factor in
the life of every individual.
Yes habit has made you what you
are; habit will make you what you are
to be. Habit is no respector of persons
any more than death. Habit will make
you great or it will make pou small re-
gardlcss of what you are, who your an
ceStOrS were or what back ground YOU
may have for a noble life Habit builds
saints out of the vilest of earth's popu-
lation; it reforms, it regenerates, it cul-
tivatos; it transforms men of vice into
men of virtue. and men Of virtue into
men of vice. 1t hurls our nOblest young
women and young men from wealth into
poverty; it takes them from the highest
rank and sends them to the lowest level
Of life.
Habit makes glad hearts for many.
but habit also makes sad and breaks
many hearts. Habit is Gods best
friend and his Satanic Majestys worst
enemy; it is mans worst enemy and his
Satanic Majesty's best friend Habit
may be our best friends worst enemy.
Habit has made you what you are. but
you may determine what habit will have
you be in the future. The habits that
have made you what you are may have
been formed out of an environment over
which you had no control. but now it is
different, you may select the habit that
will make the environment that will
rule your life and decide your destiny.
1t would be we'll for us to look into
our habits. Let us reject from or
lifH those that are destructive; let us
build others that are ruling factors in
what the worth while life should be.
1t will be we'll for you to learn what
h"bit has done for men and women Of
tho past; and what it will do for men
end women of the future. I am leaving
with YOU the question: What will habit
do for you, for your future? Will it
