Hatfield. and then Glynn

Frank Hatfield of Dillon was the
first student to be honored: Hatfield
was q three-year man in both football
and basketball. He was the first Bob
cat to be selected on an aQ-conference
team, winning this recognition as
basketball guard. Hatfield is success

Calf.
There was an interval Of four years
put into circulation. In 1928, Val G!ynn,
who earned all-conference in both foot
ball and basketball, was the athlete
honored, Glynn rated as one OF the
best collegiate pitchers developed at
a Montana school. The fact that baSe-
ball was not on the Rocky Mountain
conference sports calendar explains why
ference recognition. Val, before going
to M. S. c., graduated from East Side
high school, Salt Lake City. Glynn
is located at Harlowton. Athletics con-
tinue to be his metier-he is coaching
Harlowton high teams.
Worthington, Breedon, Stebbins
In 1929, John Breedon OF Bozeman
received 1.-The M. S. G. Award" Breeden
was a dream of basketball guard. Inc
BAH team, was, in q large part, .attrib-
uted to Breeden's leadership, just as
the winning Of the conference basket
ball title by the recent edition OF tne
Bobcats, is attributed to his coaching.
Max Worthington, Billings boy,
and an all-conference football player
and a remarkable basketball perform
er. a member of the Golden Bobcats,
was presented with the award in 1880.
Max is athletic coach at Shelby high
school.

This weeks column will be devoted
to tales, information and comment
having to do with Montana State COL
lege teams and some of the illus
trious athletes who sported the MISC
uniforms. There will be no attempt
at sequence as to years; no attempt
to bring in comparisons as to teams.
Instead, the column content will be
a sort of miscellaneous menu-some-
thing on the buffet supper order.
It was in 1924 that OFT Romney,
then athletic coach at the State college
came up with a peach Of an idea. Ott
labelled his creation THE M. s. g.
Award" Athletes possessing and dis
PLAYING outstanding ability plus posting
an enViable scholastic record would be
awarded special medal at some prom
inent school function. THE M. S: G..
Award" according to the Romney plan,
would not be issued every few minutes,
or, for that matter, every year. Inc
awards would be conferred occasionally,
thereby enriching their value. Being
exceptional in classrooms was just as
important as being outstanding In
sports. The blended yardstick OF re-
ouirement was matriculated by five
men in the period since 1924.
Those who made the grade are as
follows:

QUIZ z WOMEN
IN MANS DEATH

Two young women were held
at the Women's Bureau today for
investigation in connection with
the death of Frank Teddy"
PliSzka, taXicab driver, early this
morning.
Betty Hicks, %, unemployed
waitress, living at the Taft Hotel,
told police Pliszka shot himself as
they sat in his parked cab near
the Washington Yacht Club, Fiji
teenth and Water Streets South
east, about 2 o'clock this morning.
Mrs. Hicks said PliSzka begged
her to marry him, but she ex-
planned that she was already mar
ried. He then threatened to kill
himself, and while she argued
with him he drew a pistol and
fired a shot through his head.
M. E. Bean, watchman at the
yacht club, called police, who took
Mrs. Hicks to the Woman's Blu.

those remarks, an American industrialist fol-
lowed the advice. He trotted forth the following
plan for industry to put 100000 men to work
and for industry to spend $25.0OO.OOO,OOo
First. Develop and popularize new products.
Second. Broaden the markets for their sale
by lowering the cost Of these products to the con-
sumner.
Third. Admit the axiom that capital effort
deserves a fair return Of profit.
The effectiveness Of that scheme hinges upon
these three things, said this industrialiSt:
First Government stabilizing tax rates over
a definite period.
Second. Stabilizing fair laboring conditions
over a definite period.
Third. Government stabilizng the "rule" under

Group Will Appeal
For Xmas Toys
For Needy

The stage is all set for the big
broadcast Of the 1887 Christmas
Cheer Club.
Tonight at 8 o'clock the pro-
gram will be broadcast over Sta
ton WJSV in the interests Of the
club, which is being sponsored by
The Washington Times and
Herald, the Loews theaters, the
Playground Department and the
radio station, TO see that every
needy child's stocking is filled on
Christmas morning.
The program pristles with stars.
There will be Mitzi Mayfair, the
glamorous Broadway dancer. who
will be interviewed by Mabelle
Jennings, Herald drama critic.
RESPONSE FINE
Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker,
famous World War ace, now gen.
eral manager of Eastern Air Lines,
will speak. Phil Lampkin'S Or
cheStra will play. The Three Mar
shalls and Eddie Peabody are
others to be featured on the pro-
gram. with Arch Macdonald act
ing as master of ceremonies.
This will be the first broadcast
of a series Of big events planned
by the Christmas Cheer Club dur
ing the holiday season. to appeal
to all who can to help the less
fortunate.
So far the response to the plea
has been generous, but the need
is great. Coin jars placed on
counters in stores are being filled,
and boxes placed in Hecht's and
the G. S. Murphy'S stores are be-
ing filled with toys.
A toy shop has been established
at 1887 Massachusetts, Ave. N. W.,
as Santa's local headquarters. and
there workers from the Playground
Department and members of the
Playground Girls Club are busy
making and repairing toys that
will go into the stockings.

Says Boake Carter

second trio of "ifs" in the above sixpoint indus
trial suggestion to stop the national ta1lspin Is
'bellyaching" do not know.
One thing, however, is clear and that is that
here is definite proposal on the part Of an
industrial leader of America. free from criticism,
harping, walls or gnashing Of teeth
How much consideration Washington will give
it, of course is q moot question For its sponsor
is Lamont du Pont, president Of du Pont Com
pany, and this is one Of the names in American
industrial and social life which has been used
as one of the standard whipping posts by all
the rabble rouSers.
One of our most regrettable national char
acteristics is that we overemotionalize every
wrongdoing committed by public man.
The du Points, for instance. made handsome
profit out Of the last war. So, despite the fact
that since that time they have spent many Of
the millions they made in research for better.
newer products for the use Of all American
citizens; despite the fact they employ many
thousands Of citizens in their plants strung
across the country; despite the fact that they
may be studiously trying to do as good pro-
ductive job as they know how, their name re-
mains automatically locked in the stock Of pub
lie ridicule.
It seems to me that all Of us are in twilight
zone of fear-fearful to stand up, face facts,
enter an honest, clear.cut national debate as to
the form of economy that we think we ought
to have.

He's AGOfully Nice!
ALI Landon is an awfully nice person Q'll
have more to tell about him Monday. But
today, want to say don't know when I've
met anyone I've liked more readily. He is sort of
gentle and ingenious, and tremendously sincere
and kind. From the very first. I suspect he was
lamb destined for Democratic slaughter. Now
believe he is quite happy and little glad he
isn't the President of these involved United
States. He's not too angelic to live, however.
For when told him about the cups Of tea and
the sandwiches we had consumed at the White
House, his clear blue eyes twinkled and he
asked:
"Are the Democrats still hungry?"
Before the afternoon reception at the SiameSe
Legation, went to the Belgian Legation, and
met an interesting assortment of citizens, private

Mexican ambassador, Senior DR.. Nagera, was the
ranking guest. Very interesting indeed was the
pretty dark-eyed bride Of Dimitri Naoumoff, the
Bulgarian minister. Madame Naoumoff has been
in this country only few weeks. She is slim
and speaks English softly and is nice to know.
A Belgian gentleman of distinction, Jules Hostile,
honorary judicial counselor of the foreign Of

life. When we are tired or in terrible pain the
first thing we cry for is sleep and complete for
gettulnesS from everything.
I personally do not think for q moment that
we were put on this earth just to disappear
when our little span of life is over. All Of us
fit into pattern too complicated for our poor
souls to comprehend, but too beautiful and won
derful to be destroyed.
But even If we should face oblivion when death
beckons us into another room, it is important
that we use our few hours on earth being kind to
and thoughtful of our fellow men. Time is man
made. We are here such a short while it seems
so tragic that some Of us should try to find an
excuse for throwing away the precious years by
saying: "Oh, what's the use. There's nothing
beyond, so let's live while we can"
No Real Happiness
Certainly no real happiness can come to those
who, while they waste their own lives unthink-
irgly, attack the faith and comfort others find
in ood. Religion 70 millions is support which
is as necessary as crutches are to legless man.
To take away that support would be like taking
away q crippleIs crutches and giving him moth
ing to take their place.
When things seem darkest remember the words
Of the Bible: "And God said let there be light:
and there was light" I am convinced If we
struggle to develop the best and finest in us,
sooner or later we will find way out Of our own
dark tunnels.

will be discussed on the initiative
Of committee members.
AGAINST PAY RAISES
Representative Ross Collins,
CD, of Mississippi, chairman of
the subcommittee, is a firm be-
lever that if Washington is to
have a big budget it should be
spent for improvements and not
personnel.
IT don't see any reason to
give lot of people raises If the
city needs improvement. IA
vor a new police headquarters.
I also favor going ahead with a
number of schools and street
projects. Money was appropri-
ated to pay for plans for these
in the last bill.
IT also think there should be
new quarters built for the
women at Lorton. They are liv-
ing in shacks down there. Al
ready some new buildings are
being constructed and there
should be more"
OTHER NEW ITEM
The Commissioners in their bud
get requests asked for approx
mately $8o0,000 for the police
headquarters. In the last ap
preparation bill the following new
items were started, for which ad
ditional money is expected to be
carried in the 1899 bill:
Thomas Jefferson Memorial High
School and library to cost a total
of $500 900. Although $40O, 900 was
appropriated, $4,000 for plans, q
provision IL. the deficiency bill
ordered the purchase Of a site held
up until April /. 1888.
NEW HIGH SCHOOL
Lenox Vocational School, Poto
mas Ave. between Thirteenth and
Fourteenth SITS. N. E., $4,000
total cost; $3.50, 900 appropriated,
of which ST $50 was allocated fol
plans.
New senior high school, Fifth
and Sheridan StS., to cost 81 $50,
900; $450,00O appropriated, OF
which $25. coo was used for plans,
Added to these also are the un-
derpasseS at Dupont and Thomas
Circles, rearrangement of Scott
Circle, K Street viaduct and a
connecting highway between Con-
necticut Avenue and Sixteenth
Street.
STUDY PARKS
A total OF $4,000 was included
in the last bill for a survey of
these projects. with the hope ex-
pressed by the subcommittee that
sufficient money would be included
in the 1899 dill to carry out a few
OF these items.
Chairman Collins today visited
the parks in the city, with a view
to deciding upor the recommends
