Total Of 300
Candidates
Inland

ANNAPOLIS, Dec. %. - the
Navy, a prime-mover in intercol'
legiate boxing and with the most
remarkable record of any college
in that sport, does not intend to
relinouish its laurelS on account OF
one bad season.
Three defeats and a draw for
the team of a college that went
through twelve seasons without
defeat is something not to be
borne. and Spike Webb'S charges
are hard at work every afternoon
to demonstrate that last season
was lust a let-down and by no
means representative OF the Navy
In the ring sport.
Squad Is Cut
OF course, many Of the 300 can
didates, the larger part of them
in fact, will not make college box
ers. and the squad has already
been cut to sizable figures, but the
numerous volunteers are a token OF
the spirit at Annapolis and from
the pick of the candidates, win
ming team should be formed.
The Navy meets but four teams
this year as last, but the four are
Western Maryland, Syracuse, Vir-
ginia and Penn State, all big
names in college boxing. The lat
ter three teams are, in fact, the
only ones which have ever scored
victories in the ring over the Navy,
while Western Maryland is one of
the few teams to register a draw.
The Navy has not picked weak
opponents.
Regulars On Hand
Regulars of last year who are
again on hand are: Duke Ferrara,
unlimited weight; Skipper Giffen
and Rivers Morrell, the football
captain, ITS pounds; Jack Trethe-
way, 165 pounds; Team Captain
Cliff Hooker, 155 pounds, and Ned
Luby, 145 pounds. George Daunis,
who fought one bout at lis
pounds, is also on hand.
The squad has received impor-
tant additions from the plebe class
of last year, several of whom may
make the veterans hustle to keep
their places. Dan Garrison, for in
stance, is a promising candidate
at ITS pounds, and Herb Bentham
at 165 pounds.
PIebe Looks Good
In the 135-pound class, which
must be filled, Ned O'Hearne, a
plebe last year, looks like the best
man. Tom Fair, 125 pounds, and
Al Wright, look strong in the 115-
pound class.
Carl Fleps, big football tackle
and crew man, weighing we'll over
200 pounds, has Joined the unlim-
tied weight candidates, and Bob
Sinnot, and Gene Fairfax, the lat
ter a plebe last y6,r, look good
enough to give Captain Cliff
Hooker run in the 155-pound
class.
These are the matches, all at
home except the Penn State con-
test: January 80, Western Mary
land; February 6, Syracuse; Febru-
ary 13, University of Virginia;
February 20, Pennsylvania State,

DUTY OF GOVERNMENT

81 am proud to be the head of a
government that has sought to
make a substantial contribution to
the cause of education, even in
a period of economic distress.
Through the various agencies. the
government is helping educational
institutions to add to their present
equipment. Since 1888 the govern
ment has made, through the various
governmental agencies of the ad-
ministration, allotments to local
communities for schools, colleges
and library buildings amounting to
more than $400,0O0,000.
1--WE are also providing through
the Works Progress Administration
educational courses for thousands of
groups of adults wherever there are
competent unemployed teachers;
and through the National Youth
Administration funds for part time
employment to help deserving young
people to earn their way through
accredited colleges and universities
in all parts of the United States.
1--WE have rightly taken the posi-
ton that in spite of the fact that
economic adversely through these
years might impose upon the youth
of the country distressing and I'M
avoidable burdens, the government
owed it to the future of the nation
to see that these burdens should not
include the denial of educational op-
portunities for those who were will
ing and ready to use them to ad-
vantage.
Educational progress in the past
generation has given to this coun-
try a population more literate, more
cultured, in the best sense of the
word, and more aware of the COM
plexities of modern civilized life
than ever before in our history. And
while the methods of spreading edu-
cation are new, the lessons of edu-
cation are eternal. The books may
be new but the truth is old.
1.-THE qualities of true education
remain what they were when Wash
ington insisted upon its Importance.
First among these qualities is a
sense of fair play among men.

TRUCK unit is
PRODUCED HERE
Marmon-H Harrington, InsIey
Offers Semi-Trailer Dump
Wagon.

A feature of the recent Cleveland
Road Show, as well as the Purdue
University Road Show, particularly
from the standpoint of the contrac-
tor, was combination of a new
Marmon- Harrington ll-wheel-drive
Ford va truck-tractor and new
Insley semi-trailer dump wagon,
which were shown as complete
unit. Both products are made in
indianapolis by Indianapolis COM
panies - the Marmon- Harrington
Co. Inc, and the Insley Manufac-
turing Corp.
This combination, because of a
number of hitherto unobtainable
advantages in performance, payload
ability and price, is attracting
widespread attention from contrac-
tors and others interested in dirt
hauling and similar operations, &C
cording to R. H. Hayes, Indianap-
oils branch manager of the Ford
Motor Co.
The complete unit, including both
tractor and semi-trailer, weighs
slightly more than $500 pounds and
is capable of hauling gross load
of approximately $4,000 pounds.
Thus it is able to handle a load
equal to more than two times it's
own weight.
Because of the all-wheel- drive
ability of the Marmon- Harrington,
it is possible to handle such a load
either on or off the highway and
under conditions that would be a
severe handicap to any convention
al rear wheel-drive truck, Mr..
Hayes pointed out.
Subject to numerous tests before
being shown at Cleveland and Pur-
due, the unit proved its ability to
negotiate a grade of more than %
per cent with payload of 1880
pounds, he said. Although the over
all length of the entire unit is 26
feet, 9 inches, it has a minimum
turning radius of only % feet, 3
inches. The capacity of the Insley
semi-trailer is cubic yards and it
has an overall width of So inches.
Both tractor and semi-trailer
may be purchased for less than
$500 complete, Mr.. Hayes said.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 22.-The
text of President Roosevelt's Tenn
pie University speech today:
IT have just had bestowed upon
me twofold honor. I am hon.
ored in having been made an alum
nus of Temple University; and ]
am honored in having had con-
ferred upon me for the first time
the degree of doctor of jurispru-
dence.
"It is a happy coincidence that
we should meet together to pay our
respects to the cause o feducation
on the birthday of the father of
this nation. In his wise and kindly
way George Washington deeply ap-
preciated the Importance of educa-
ton in republic and the respon-
sibility of the government to pro-
mote it. Let this simple statement
stand by itself without the proof
of quotation. I say this lest, if
quoted excerpts from the somewhat
voluminous writings and messages of
the first President OF the United
States, some captious critic might
search the Library of Congress to
prove by other quotations that
George Washington was in favor of
just the opposite! Therefore, on
this anniversary of his birth I pro-
pose to break a centurv-old prece-
dent. I shall not quote from
George Washington on his birthday
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1936-02-22
STRESSES LAST so YEARS

More than this, and breaking
precedent once more, I do not in
tend to commence any sentence with
these words-If George Washing
ton had been alive today or II
Thomas Jefferson had been alive to-
day or If Alexander Hamilton had
been alive today or If Abraham
Lincoln had been alive today-be-
yond peradventure of doubt he
would have opposed-or, perhaps,
favored-etc., etc.
Suffice it, therefore, to say what
President Washington pointed out
on many occasions and in many
practical ways that broad and
cosmopolitan education in every
stratum of society is a necessary
factor in any free nation governed
through democratic system. Strides
toward this fundamental objective
were great in the two or three
earlier generations of the republic
but you and we'll realize that the
greatest development of general
education has occurred in the past
half century.
LAS literacy increases people be-
come aware of the fact that govern
ment and society form essentially a
cooperative relationship among
citizens and the selected representa-
tiveS of those citizens.
When we speak of modern
progress it seems to me thatsw
place altogether too much emphasis
upon progress in material things
in invention, in industrial develop
ment, in growth of national wealth.

NEWS OF THE AUTO WORLD
new BUCKS TO
BE ON DISPLAY
AT c. M. SHOW
Company to Have Several
Exhibits at Playground
Beginning Feb. 26.

Buick will be represented at the
General Motors Show, which opens
Feb. 26 at the Manufacturers Build
ing, with displays of it's new models
together with special exhibits. The
new Bucks represent greater
changes from past models than have
been made in any single year in re-.
cent Buick history, according to
Neal Cunningham, Indianapolis
Buick representative.
The Buick exhibits are to be I'M
usually attractive. The new cars
are up to the minute in styling, are
characterized by unusual perform
ance and have variety of eXcep-
tional safety features, not the least
of which is the ample power under
the hood.
BY complete rejuvenation and
modernization of product, Buick
aims to capture an entirely new
market, at the same time retaining
it's present large and loyal clientele,
according to company officials. Re-
suits in the field since the cars first
we're announced indicate this OBJ
jective will be reached.
Complete modernization of the
Buick lines, particularly from the
standpoint of performance, had to
be accomplished without sacrificing
those qualities of dependability,
long life and economy which have
identified Buick manufacture for
many years. Thus, specifications
show that Throughout the model
range greater strength and rigidity
we're engineered into the frames
while all the fundamental features
of Buick construction were retained.
Buick again features torque tube
drive, valve-in- head straight eight
engines, sealed chassis, independent
front wheel suspension and other
items of strength and dependability
long associated with this make OF
cars.
In addition, many new structural
and safety features have been in
corporated in the new design. The
list includes new Streamlined bodies
by Fisher with solid stel "Turret
Tops" and safety glass in wind
shields and all windows, slanting "
type windshields affording maximum
visibility, Anolite pistons, improved
knee action, center point steering
and hydraulic brakes.

The extent to which automobile

French, italian, British and Ger

which have joined the trend to-
