The Bayou Tigers have four
good centers, topped by a really
great apper.back, Marvin

o. B. Keeler, that bubbling- over
With-enthusiasm veteran of the
sports world, says of L. S. us
backs:
"Never before in my years Of
covering football have I seen so
many good backs as L. S. U.
has"
It's true, too: L. S. U. has a
horde of fine backs.

Every football man who has

You had a chance to study the
Great American Boy in all of his
finer impulses before and during
the game; yes and after the game
when, the victorS cheered their vic
Tins.
If you went into the office where
Jim Pixlee holds forth during the
year, there was a scale, and the
kids stripped to their uniforms be-
fore getting on the platform.
Run Off Few Ounces
Some of them had to go out and
run off two or three ounces. If
still a little overweight, off came
shoes, jersey and trunks; anything
and everything to make the team
and play in the game.
You got many laugh out Of
the. youngsters if you listened.
There was that solemn-eyed kid
Of IL years who was penalized
for some minor infraction of the
rules.

"I'lll tell you what we'll have

That should fix the thing all

"A boy came into the office of
Morris Fox and said:
Mr. Fox, weigh me in, will
you?"
"Why now? You don't play
until 2 o'clock" replied Fox.

During one of the games a sub.

With Nebraska S
Court Team

Nebraska's Cornhuskers will,
bring plenty Of height and expert
ence here with them Saturday
night when they battle George
Washington's hustllng Colonials
at Tech High School in the first
major and first intersectional col
lege basketball game Of the sea
son. The contest will mark the
resumption of local college ath
letic activity at home.
Eight of Coach Bill Brownies
athletes are letter men remaining
from the quint that won IA out
Of 20 games and ran second tC
Kansas in the Big Six Conference
race last year. The other nine or
the Husker squad compose the
most promising firSt-year varsity
material Browne has had in his
five years at the Lincoln institu
ton.
Three Seniors on Team
OF the IN" wearers three are
seniors, namely. Howard Baker
and Leland Hale, forwards, and
Harry Sorenson, center or for
ward.
The Nebraskans average over
Sixfeettwo in height. five of them
standing six-four or taller in their
stocking feet. The tallest is
center, Larry Nelson, whose six,
feet-six and three-quarterS makes
him a dangerous performer under
the baskets. SorenSon, Floyd
Ebaugh, center; Elmer Dohrmann,
center or guard, and Roy Baxter,
guard, are the other skyscraperS
Of the outfit. The shortest, q
comparative midget, is Hale, who
measures five-ten.
Against this array Of expert.
eince and height Coach Reinhart
Of George Washington will pit a
crew averaging slightly less than
six feet and including six letter
men.
COIonialS Drill Hard
In all probability the Colonials
will have to depend on superior
ball handling and shooting to
subdue the CornhuskerS, who al,
ready have knocked off such
sterling teams as Minnesota, Ohio
State and Montana. Loyola of
Chicago, annually one of the
Vests best quints, and South
Dakota U. have beaten the
HuskerS this year.
Reinhart, anxious to see his
lads keep moving successfully,
called them back from holiday
vacations yesterday to begin prac-
tice for Saturday nights contest.
He plans several drills at Tech in
order that his charges can get
acquainted with the floor.
Saturday night also will mark
the beginning Of a series Of
double-headers for George Wash
ington. The Colonial yearlings,
who have scored 125 points in
two games so far, will play Tech
High, coached by a former G.. w.
star, George Freilicher, in the pre-
lminary game. starting at 7

than any symptom in evidence SO
far that he has not rated his boy
either too fast or slow and that
Gevinson indeed is ready to cash
in on months and months Of ar
duous schooling.
There had been those who
thought Gevinson was not yet
ready to undertake so rugged a
task as facing-off against such a
war horse as Joe TemeS, who is
we'll over 80, whereas Gevinson
has only recently turned 81.
Too, the fans had not been con-
vinced of GevinSon's place in the
professional class off his two prevl-
Gus paid fights against obvious
neophites neither of whom lasted
full round before Lou had them
prone at his feet.
But all such doubt is today
cleared away. The fans are hail
ing the erstWhile National Guard
protege as a fighter earmarked to
go some distance in his chosen
sport pursuit. MeSsrs. Turner and
Aheara have uncovered a nice
find, a local lad who should stir
fight interest here and give the
game the salt of life it sadly
needs.
Must Avoid OUerdoing
However, they must avoid their
previous mistake of using a good
boy too often. This has been done
with Phil Fur and Cowboy Scott
as well as one or two others to
the extent that there has been
yawning and lack of interest in
some of the bills.
Gevinson, typical OF Southpaw
fighters, was a problem for Temes
from the second round and it must
be said to Joe's everlasting credit
that he in no way SHE'D off from
the unproven and unorthodox
young fighter. He assumed the
match cheerfully and he didn't
refuse a single hurdle of the eight
Scintillating rounds, more particu-
larly the first and fifth.
No fan can ask more than that,
particularly where there is such
an age disparity. I heard no one
condemn Joe Temes' efforts. He
was up against faster, more en-
Unused youth with ring ambition
eXuding from his every motion.
That is an age-old story where
one fighter is on his way up and
the other having seen better days,
but by far yet unspent.
Gevinson hewed out his victory
by focusing hard leftS to Temes'
features which had him bleeding
from the nose as early as the Sec
ond round. TemeS' tactics in the
face of this SharpShooting and in
contrast with it were of the wild,
rushing variety and more than
once he found his mark on the
1.-the, sleek body of Gevinson, who
was frequently unable to roll or
step away.
Lou took his punishment man
fully when it was thus dealt him,
but kept boxing and piled up
points continuously. He proved he
could take it and still pounce back
with damaging blows that quite
offset Temes' smashing attack.
In the preliminaries, Doug
Swetnam stopped Fenton Bligh
in less than two minutes of the
second round of a four-rounder;
Cyclone" Sammy Williams de-
feated Feddie Lewis, of New York,
in six rounds; Young Palmer out
stepped Pete Andropolous in six
fast heats and Sammy Meadows
checked the career Of Young
RaSpi in a swift SiX-round battle.

To Present
Gay Party
BY FRANCOIS

It's getting dangerously close
to that time Of the year when in
diViduals rround themselves
with mirrors Of one sort or an
other, take a close scrutiny Of
themselves and their actions dur
ing the preceding IL months, and
then rush off to their favorite
night clubs to make resolutions
and ring the new year in. Come
to think of it, folks, we sometime
smile at reference to, or stories
Of, the Hindus washing away their
sins and purifying themselves by
bathing in the River Ganges. The
sophisticated Western world does
its washing of sins once a year
and in a most hilarious fashion.
Tonight we'll mention just a
few of the places you can go to

Reservations for the party Thurs

Both the regular room and the

used to seat guests.
At the Mayflower Lounge the
second big hit Of the year is al

THE BARBOR

I love to go down to the harbor,
And watch the big incoming SHIPS
They tell me such wonderful storeS
Such wonderful stories OF trips
Of trips far beyond the horizon,
Amidst tropic islands and seas;
Of fig trees, the palm and the sago,
And rare plumaged birds 'mongst the trees
Of far-away Africas shore-line,
Where natives rush down to compete
In barter and change for some bauDle,
Laying ten times its worth at my 1eet'
OF trips past the antarctic circle
Where penguins waddle in play,
Where suns do not set in the summers,
But shine in one long endless day.
Of trips where the great Borealis
Fills heaven with weird shafts OF light
Where walrrlS white bears and snow igloos
Play parts in the polar stars night.
I learn so much down at the harbor,
While talking with incoming ships;
They tell me such wonderful stories
Of far-away, far-away trips.

Capital Goods

Employment in all consumer
groups is above 100 per cent COM
pared with about Is per cent in
all the heavy goods industries. In
these figures lies the answer to
my readers quandry: Average
production is now at normal, al
though jobs in some industries
are Subnormal.
The table clearly shows that the
bulk of our unemployment is still
in the capital goods group which
includes building, railroad equip
ment, and the like. In pre-depreS-
sion years there were 100000
workers in the construction and
allied industries alone. Today on
ly about half of this number have
jobs. Hence, this one industry &C
counts for almost SO per cent of
the unemployed. Another big
batch of genuine jobless would
normally be working in other dur
able goods businesses. If opera
tions in this group of industries
expand rapidly enough, our real
unemployment problem should
soon be solved.
Machine VS.. Human
Because of the steady technical
Improvement in labor saving ma
chinery during the past ten years,
the heavy industries are more i'm
portant to the Country's prosper
ity now than ever before. Figures
shows that the output per work.
er in factories today is at least
one-third greater than it was a
decade ago. MaChine-Work is
constantly taking the place Of
hand-Work. For instance, III the
new continuous strip steel mills.

money iS7.-or used to be. But
when they talk in terms of bill
lions or trillions or jillionS, they've
got us going down for the third
time with a low gurgling cry.
And the more a financial tech

cts full of figures. tries to explain
these governmental manipula-
tions. the more convinced I am
that. like the average specialist,
he has concentrated on being eX-
pertly ignorant upon one involv-
ed subject rather than remaining
as most of us do. broadly and
comprehensively ignorant upon
practically all subjects.
Anyhow, I'd prefer discussing
something which would came to
about four bits. I'm Cn safe fin

STERILIZATION

All the gentlemen in Mr.. Morgenthau's gentle
mems agreement on monetary matters may still be
gentlemen, but there is growing belief in unoffi-
cial monetary quarters here that the pound will
decline in long range value
British sources are said to believe $3.50 pound
would be nearer right than the current S4.89. Of
course, they are talking in terms of six months or
year If they really think that way, there is lit
tie Mr.. Morgenthau can do.
The only thing certain, however, is that the
situation stresses again the fact that the stabiiza
ton agreement is NOT stabilization agreement,
but temporary If" arrangement to cover the
current situation.
Equally certain is that if the British are right,
the Russians NOT very stupid in getting Mr..
Morgenthau to buy their pounds at the price they
received.

Babson Explains Why With
Business Back TO Normal,
Millions Still Unemployed

1000 tons of steel will be produc-
ed daily with a working force OF
about 1875 men. Under the old
method it would have taken 4,5OO
men for the same output. Thus, it
will be seen that production can
now be back to normal in the face
of an abnormal unemployment
situation
Readers, however, see only part
of the picture when they are dis
turbed by some new machine or
new process taking the place OF
human workers. They must not
forget that many of the displaced
steel and other technologically
unemployed men eventually find
other jobs in the same or other in
dustrieS. The building, for instance
of the above new steel mills is CIV
ing employment to thousands OF
workers. The research, experiment
tation. and manufacture of new
labor saving machinery is a tre-
mendous industry in itself. There
is a constant readjustment going
on today. The change from the old
method to the new often deals a
harsh blow at the individual; but
in the long run means shorter
hours and a higher standard of
living for all.
Why Figures Are Misleading
Labor-saving machinery cuts
production costs. If the savings
are passed on to the public in the
form of lower selling prices, con-
sumption of these goods increases.
The sale of more goods in turn re-
suits in the demand for addition
al machinery and for more raw
materials. Eventually there is a
bigger total of jobs for all workers
greater demand for the service
population. and more goods to di-
vide among everybody. This pro-
cess has been going on for CEN
turies. The new machines of to-
day. if handled by intelligent, un-
selfish men. mean higher STAN
dard of living tomorrow. Labor
saving devices are. at most, only
minor temporary factor in our
jobleSS problem.
Last May in discussing unem-
ployment, 1 pointed out that esti,
mates on the subject were greatly
exaggerated. This fact is now be-
coming generally recognized by
business observers. Apparently the
nation has become "unemploy-
ment conscious" twenty-five
years ago women in homes and
boys on farms or in schools were
not reported as jobless. Today
they are put down as 'unemploy
ed" and possibly are "on relief"
