Football and Life" was the
theme of his splendid address, and
it is safe to say that everyone who
heard DR.. Larson left the ball

with the proper comprehension Of
what it can mean to them in the
shaping of their lives.
Following are the main points dis
cussed by DR.. Larson:
Football, in common with a nuln-
Der of other sports, may make very
definite contributions to more Ell
fective living. The more thorough
ly the lessons are learned the more
effectively the ideas may apply to
life situations.

 Robinson was Smiths running mate in the 1928 presidential cam paign. He criticized the farm pro- posals of Governor Ali M.

Roosevelt" Gov. Cross On Budget New London, Conn, Oct. 13- (UP)-G Gov. Wilbur L. Cross was firm today in demanding that he be given power to direct drawing up of the states budget.
 T don't know" he said, whether or not I am in danger of becoming 8 dictator; the charge is going around to that effect. I notice that the bill on the budget is being questioned.
 If the budget of the state is to be balanced it should be prepared from the beginning to the, end un- der the direction of the governor, but that would sayor of dictator 1 ship. 'The implication is that I, the governor, would like to be a dicta- tor. In 35 states the budgets are in the hands of the governors, as in all New England except Connecti- cut.

 "He wantS," Brown said, "to make up budget expenses himself instead of leaving them to the board of fi- nance and control. This leads to one-n1an power. Haven't we experi- enced enough one-man power in Washington" Continuing his presentation of state issues at rally here last night, Brown said:
 ."Gov. Cross wants the veto power increased by bringing the rule of a | two-thirds vote into the house and senate instead of a majority vote. I am willing to let the majority vote remain"
 Patterson Spouts Hartford, Conn, Oct. 13-UP)- President Roosevelt was accused today of being "color blind, seeing everything in the red" by Walter E. Patterson, republican candidate for congress in the first district.
 As a quarterback" Patterson said, the president "is a daring strategist, courageous general, an artful fighter, a shifty runner, a stubborn defender and a clever at tacker. He has everything but a sense of direction. He scores too many touchdowns for the other side"
 In a broadcast, Patterson singled out for especial attack government by oligarchy masquerading as de- mocracy."
