ond school whose team WEIGH coached.
The World War gave Welch his
sports-tutoring start. and not so far
from Washington at that. for it was
at Fort Meade. where he was sent
after enlisting on the very day that
America declared war, that he coached
his first foot ball team, military out
fit WEIGH spent 18 months abroad
during the struggle, retiring from the
Infantry with the rank of captain.
After the armistice WEIGH was called
to. Washington State, where his first
college coached eleven tied Oregon
for the Pacific Coast championship.
Among Welch's first pupils was Dick
Hanley, present coach of Northwestern,
and the mentor still calls that Wash
ington State eleven of 1919 the kest
team he ever coached Welch coached
on the coast for four years, going to
Randolph Macon in 1923 and remain
ing there until '29. Between 30 and
'33 he was assistant coach at the Uni
versity of Virginia, and then spent the
period of 1933-1935 at the Haskell In
stitute.
He has had no coaching duties since,
having spent the interim running his
camp for children, Camp Kewanzee,
1t Natural Bridge, Va. That re-
mains one of his pet hobbies, and it is
there that he will return each Sum-
mer after duties at A. U. are over for
the year.
4 THOUGH his father was Scotch
= Irish, Welch followed the Indian
line in the family by marrying the
daughter of C. D. Carter, the Indian
Representative from Oklahoma sew
eral years ago. They have no chill
dren, but have adopted the son OF Mrs.
Welch's deceased sister.
Further influence of the Indian in
him is Welchs love of lacrosse. While
present plans at the A. U. do not con-
template a lacrosse team, ther" was a
gleam in the new directors eyes when
asked If the Methodists would sponsor
lacrosse in the future. mot next year,
but perhaps in the future" was his
comment.
The only "bad" trait, especially to
newspaper men, in Welch'S makeup
lies in trophy which he has won four
times-a trophy at stake among the
country's college coaches each year.
That is the famous Brown Derby,
given to the coach who can tell the
biggest lie Remember that when
WEIGH starts that "we-haven't-got-a-
chance" spiel.
Staff Cassell, one of A. us most
famous athletes, will aid Welch next

to the Methodist coaching staff at the
same time the new mentor was in

SIT DOWN STRIKES

The first sit-down strike of any record occurred in a saloon in Mooreyille, Indiana, back in 1881.
 Women of the town objected to the saloon and took their knitting and rocking chairs and planted themselves before the bar, working in shifts.
 The bartender muttered and CUTS ed but his patrons just would not enter the saloon with the women there. This went on for days unIll the bartender admitted defeat and moved out of town.
 But times have changed since those days. Today's women who stage sit- down strikes at bars leave their knitting and rocking chairs at home.

STATES SCRAMBLE FOR
 SHARE IN FEDERAL FUNDS

Referring to the so-called Slum Clearance measure, HOW before Cou- gress, a Southern Senator is quoted as having said that if $7O0,0O0,OG in Federal funds are to be apprOpri- ated for such a purpose, he intends to see that his state gets it's share, though really there is no need for such expenditure in that region.
 This spirit is claimed to have been responsible for a major part of the demands made on the U. s. Govern ment during the past few years, with a depleted Federal treasury and a national debt increased to a reco d figure as result. It is one of the principal grounds for the opposition to the on-Black-Fletcher bill, which proposed that during the uest five years a billion dollars of the taxpayers money be divided among the states, not on the basis of need, but in proportion to the child pop uIation in each. Not only did every state demand its share of this vast sum, but the private and sectarian educational interests cIamOred for q chance to get in on the split. A fraC- tion of the sum, properly distributed would have adequately supplied re lief to the needy puplic schools.
 If slum clearance Is a local mat ter, affecting conditions only in large cities such as New York, Phil adelphIa, and Chicago, it is an Op- inion generally expressed that il should be dealt with locally, So far as these cities or the states ln which they are situated are able to raise the money. Only in the degree tnht such problems are national ln Jheit implications, and to the extent which the states and communities are un- able to finance them, should Feder- al assistance be granted.
 States in real distress appeal to Congress for aid in the granting of relief, in the support of the pubic schools, for assistance to agriculture and industry, which because Of un- favorable local conditions the otaLe itself is unable to care for. Congress recognizes the need, and admits the inability of the state or group oI states to pay for it, and is inclined to make the appropriation. But lln- mediately there is a elamor from other states for their share, al though they have no such degree of need or inability to pay. These 'gim- me" tates, as the yhaye been call ed, unite forces, and the result may easily be an appropriation of ten times the necessary amount.
 If Federal expenditures are to be reduced to a budget balancing fig ure, it is aVerred that sectional greed and the grabbing propensity so prominently displayed will have to be definitely suppressed.

Wilkins Recent Flight To Arctic
 Recalls Memories 1928 Flight
By DR. CHARLES E. BUNNELL

Radio announcements of August Is that Sir Hubert Wilkins was ready to leave New York to join the search for the Russian aviators, uu- reported on their flight from Moscow to Fairbanks, recalled vividly the 1928 flight of Captain Wilkins and Carl Ben Eielson from Fairbanks ov- CT the North Pole to Spitzbergen.
 After an elapse of nine years, it seems that I can with propriety lift from my personal files a letter I re- ceiYed from Professor Leslie March and, then in France, and publish it together with some of the clippings from European papers, which were enclosed.
 The letter. dated Paris, June To-, 1929, reads: Perhaps you would he interested in hearing something of the reception of Wilkins and Eielson in Paris. They arrived by the regular morning plane from London Friday morning. The time of their arrival was kept secret so there were only officials of the Aero-Club de France at Le Bourget when they landed At five o'clock there was a reception at the Aero-Club to which l managed to get an invitation through the good offices of he lady at the American Embassy. Nearly a hundred and ftf- ty persons were packed into the club rooms and a large crowd was gath cred near the door to get a glimpse of them as they passed in.
 Solemn French Speeches
 q would have liked to catch Ben's eye as they were being read solemn French speeches which they didn't understand, but l was too far back crushed in the crowd. Captain Will kins made a brief reply and then they were each given glass of champagne which they clinked with the Minister of Commerce and Avi- ation and several other notables. An bassador Herrick came forward to shake hands Finally the ropes wore let down and men and women and girls rushed forward to get aut J. graphs. finally got through to Ben and we talked while he wrote his name on many cards. Newspaper men came up to get some special statement. Ben told them that the story had all been told many times and that they could use any of it they wanted to. In reply to a ques- tion he said that it would be quite possible for the crew of the lost Italia to subsist for some time yet in the Arctic particularly if they were near land.
 Not Used To French Manners
 We got away finally about six thirty and took a taxi over to Mont parnasse to see a friend that Ben had known at the University Of North Dakota. We had about an hour before he had to go back to an of ficial dinner. q forgot to mention that at the Club a French girl came up and said, T would like to keess you and so smacked him on both cheeks. Ben wasn't used to the French manner and thought it was all over at the end of the first half)
 This was the first time he had seen anyone he knew in Europe. He said it seemed good to get away from official receptions for a while.
