EDITORIAL.

The Goth century is the era of mod
ernity--of dramatic speed, and of the
bizarre in all things. Any vistage of
the Victorian niceties and conventions
have long ago ruthlessly cast aside to
the qualification Of enthusiasts. The
tempo Of living has become surcharged
with hectic power and dazzling innova-
tons have been created in harmony
with the hysteric desire for all action
opposed to conservatism.
But what are overnight changes and
innovations, after all, but progress2
And what is more DESTROYS to the
multitude than brilliant forward steps
toward perfection? We should not re-
greet the material revolutions and the
metamorphoses in the superficial, outer
things, which innately require newness
to retain their satisfaction for tickle
humanity. 1t is but normal that our
senses welcome a periodical change in
obiects-no monotonous sameness IN
the inanimate things can be tolerated
by this generation. Small cause to be
shocked at the cataclysn1ic upheavals III

do to revolutionize the universe
! Rather should we entertain anxiety
in the concern for the change of mine
and heart of modern people. There
should be no innovation IN the menta
and spiritual. The respective forms fol-
the mind and heart should ever be in
telligence and good will. Potatoes ant
personalities may alter, but the bizarr'
and modern has its bounds it wa!
never meant to focus its greedy ten
taeles on the stable and untlinchint
qualities Of the inner man.
Let your sensual self accept and en-
10y the advantages Of the present age
but retain the natural, primitive faith
fitness Of heart that is independent Q

Dickey's arms. Moore and Ripple
were both nipped at second on a

When Whitehead fieIded Laz-

Ole Miss Eleven
Averages Over
200 Pounds

George Washington University's
scrapping football team. winner Of
two warm-up games, finds itself
up against a herculean task this
week, facing the huge University
of Mississippi Rebels. who pack
greater beef, speed and experience.
The game, the first of G. WIS
six intersectional contests, will be
played Friday night under the arcs
of Griffith Stadium.
Cold facts paint a dreary pic
ture for the Colonials. In every
phase Of the game Ole Miss ap-
pears superior. And if Jim Pixlee' s
hopfuls are to win they must prove
at least so per cent stronger than
in their earlier conquestS of
Emory and Henry and Elon. How
ever, the Colonials are a deter
mined bunch - apt and eager
pupils coached by capable men,
torS-So a victory for the Rebels
is by no means certain.
Mississippi, though defeated by
the closest of margins by Tulane
and Temple, is a team capable of
beating any outfit in the United
States. Last year, with practically
the same forces that are on hand
this season, Coach Ed Walkers
crew scored S11 points in IL con-
tests.
According to advance notices
the Rebels will average 200 pounds
as a team. This will give them
an advantage of Is pounds per
man over George Washington,
which is the lightest team in re-
cent Buff history. In the back
field, with big Clarence Hapes tot
ing a mere $50 pounds on a 6-foot
3-inch frame. the Rebels will aver
age 1917 pounds. And in the line,
with such behemoths as "Bruiser"
Kinard, 213, and Buster Poole, 225,
they will average 202.

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-The hot
test tip among baseball people to-
day is that either Dutch" Reuter-,
Burleigh Grimes, Rabbit Maran-
vile or Charlie Dresser will land
in Casey Stengers former Brooklyn
job, but that Jimmy Wilson, man.
ager of the Phils, will get the
berth. In such a case Hans Lo-

In contrast to last October's
classic, as well as the 1884 event,
this years series has been a
smoothly umpired affair, without
a sustained protest from any
source.
Joe Moore has proved to be a
poor lead-off man for the Giants
as the fourth game got under way,
getting on base by four balls, the
second time he had occupied the
haSSock in 16 times at bat
Bartell went out swinging, as
did Bill Terry, leaving the i'm
preston that the Giants know
nothing about the fine art Of sac

, Carl left the game thereafter,
Leslie batting for him and singing
to left. Davis ran for Leslie. Joe
Moore came through this time by
dropping a single far to Powelps
left that sent Davis to second. This
brought Moore's series average up
to Ill.
Bartell then attempted third
base bunt, which rolled foul. Davis
and Moore advanced when Gehrig
threw out Bartell to Pearson. Davis
scored the second Giant run and
Moore went to third when LaZzeri
threw out Terry. OFT took two
severe cuts at the ball as though
seeking a homer. He rolled to
Rolfe.
Gehrig nearly cut Terry's legs
from beneath him with his blister
ing double to the rightfield corner
to open the Yanks' eighth. Gehrig
went to third as Bartell made a
nice play on Dickey's drive which
bounded high.
BY now the Yankees were on a
rampage. Powell, the Takoma
Park lad, sizzled a single to left
on which Gehrig scored standing
up. That ended the scoring for
the day. Powell has played
heads-up ball throughout the
series.
