Relaxing Under Stress.

10Th Thorpe and Gipp at times
were hard to handle. Grange and
Mahan were not. But Grange and
Mahan had less tension than most
stars.
3 Red was the most relaxed player
I ever saw" Bob Zuppke told me.
Percy Haughton Used to say the same
thing of Mahan.
There was the game against Yale
where, at scoring point, Mahan took
out piece of blank cardboard from
his uniform, as if reading Haughton's
instructions. Then he looked at the
Yale team and grinned. It was not
until after the game that Yale dis
covered Mahan was kidding.
What's the secret of broken-f field
running?" I once asked Mahan. "It
isn't any secret" Eddie said. Its
quite simple. When a tackler comes
at me I just give him one of my
feet-then take it away"
In the famous Illinois Pennsylvania
game Bert Bell, one of Penn's best
coaches, sent in a substitute with
these instructions: II want you TO
knock Grange down just once to get
q little mud on his uniform. I don't
want him to leave this game With
his uniform just as clean as when
he came in
The sub dived at Grange about five
times without touching him.

Pick of the Crop.
NOW we come along to the pick
of the late season crop. There
was flock of star backs-all around
the map. But, in my opinion, Jay
Berwanger of Chicago was the pick
recall four years ago hearing his
school coach say, If Berwanger isn't
another Thorpe there'll never be one"
Berwanger is 6 feet 1-he weighs
195 pounds-he is one of the best
passers and punters you'll look upon.
As a ball carrier, he always is danger
GUS. Almost without any help from a
weak squad. the Maroon star almost
beat Ohio State alone and then took
Illinois over the jumps.
The Chicago entry is not only a
hard runner, but an elusive open field
threat. Get him past the line and he
will run any defense ragged. As Red
Grange says, Back of a good line,
Berwanger still would be running in
every game he played"
II Berwanger had been this last
year with Minnesota, Princeton. S. M.

G. jackson. new president OF the
United States Golf Association.
Although Little made certain Of his
status before he undertook to conduct
the syndicated newspaper column
formerly written by Bobby Jones. he
has been skirting the ragged edge,
jackson said.
In his first article he suggested
that golf swing could be improved
by pausing at the top of the back
swing. He is reported to have come
close to giving instruction in other
articles.
Some time this year Jackson plans
to add to the definition of an amateur
a clear-cut Interpretation with regard
to writing articles.
Columnist's Limits Defined.
THERE is no objection, he said, to
an amateur golfer writing about
personalities or experiences in the
sport or to his describing how he
saw another player make a certain
shot. as long as the description is only
an incident in the article.
Jackson said Little had been called
in after few of his early columns
and had been requested to refrain
from writing advice-giving articles.
He has complied ito some extent"
I'VE understand that some of the
good amateur players all over the
country are writing the same kind
of articles-the type Bob Jones did
six years ago-and we're anxious to

But the lack of educational

When President Roosevelt goes

of the state he is giving his bless
ing to the social system there and
all of its evils. AS president of
the United States he is sworn to
uphold the constitution and he is
remiss in his duty when he fawns
on a state that DISTINGUISHES al
most half of its voters. One mil
lion Americans, a governor, a half
dozen congressman and a score of
state legislators condemned the
treatment of Angelo Herndon;
what can be said for our presi-
dent who can remain silent in the
face of what is one of the most
glaring examples of injustice in
American history?
81 am happy to be in Gerogia-
because of this moving reception
which my friends, the senators
and representatives in the con-
gress from this state have tend
cred me-" Mr.. Roosevelt said. His
S senatorial and representative
friends we're elected because Ne
groes were disfranchised. The rec
ords show that they opposed the
anti-lynch bill, the Lundeen I'M
employment insurance bill and
every other measure that would
have helped poor Negroes, and
poor whites. A man, runs an old

BREAD GOES UP

The pound loaf Of bread that cost you, on the average, 81
cents IN 1882, costs s3 cents today-even though the bakers
and retailers share Of the final selling price has shown a slight
decrease. Additional rises in bread prices are forecast.
One cause Of the rise is the increased cost of wheat. which
was at a ridieulously low price in 1892. Other Ingredients
sugar, malt, ete-are likewise up.
Better prices for the farmer are desired by the whole coun-
try. But as his prices increase, the consumer must necessarily
stretch his budget. In some cases that is impossible. In many
eases II works a definite hardship ON the family.
AT least a partial solution to this high-eost-offood problem
hes In the development of wholesaling and retailing systems
which give the farmer the adequate prices he deseryes-and at
the same time keep down costs to the consumer, by eliminating
needless overhead and mddleman expenses. Such systems have
done fine work in the past-and their continued operation is
essential to the natinoal welfare.
