'quarterbacking for Washington
called for the tricky end run. The
offensive formation was to the
right, with Baugh in the tail back
position. At Sammy's right hand
was Battles. The ball went from
center to Cliff, who with Baugh
as interference, went to the left.
Baugh knocked New York'S right
flanker flat, and Cliff was off to
the races. He went 751a yards to
the Giant AZ. He carried the ball
three times in a row, and on the
third play got across with Wash
ington'S second touchdown.
Throughout the first quarter,
by a pre-arranged plan, the Red
skin attack was concentrated on
Len Grant, New York's right
tackle. The New York defense
a 1921 affair-was ruined by the
Redskins, also by pre-arranged
plan.
Late in the second period, the
Redskins drove so yards to score
their third touchdown. On this
march. Baugh hurled five passes
and completed four Of them.
Sammy carried the ball through
New York's right tackle to make
three yards and Max KrauSe drove
five yards for the touchdown.
Sammy's four passes gained AZ OF
the so yards.
New York, with a wild passing
attack, scored two touchdownS
early in the third period. The first,
DanoWski to Cuff, was a lucky
thing. The ball, almost intercepted
by Riley smith, slipped from his
hands into those of Cuff, for whom

TEAM HIMSELF
Clifford Franklyn B "a titles
alone was an eleven; a second
edition of the World War. This
powerful Phi Beta Kappa and
Rhodes scholar from the little
fresh water college of West Vir-
ginia Wesleyan has played
powerful lot of football in his
five years in the national league,
but never did he have such an
afternoon as he unwound before
yesterdays wildly cheering
throng.
The only way the Giants
could have stopped him would
have been to move Coogan'S
bluff down onto the field, and
then he'd probably have hurdled
over it. Once he sliced through
his own left tackle, veered to
the left, turned on, and tight
walked the Sideline rs before
Ward Cuff brought him down
with a desperate. diving tackle
from behind. But he was only
five yards from home when
Cuff banged him to the green.
Once he intercepted a pass at
his own %, reversed his field to
go clear to the south sideline,
reversed his field again, and
raced Les Corzine and one other
pursuer for the north corner.
Corzine knocked him out of
bounds at the one. He had gone,
however, 76 yards from where
he caught the ball, and at least
a hundred on his dazzling back
and forth journey.
MOVED ALL AFTERNOON
These were Battles longest
and most sensational gallops.
But he was moving all after
noon, clawing his way over piles
of humanity, slashing through
center, over the tackles and
around the ends in one here-I-

Silent Sam" Baugh, the
pitching fellow from the Texas
plains. was in the mad melee,
too. 1 wonder if it's really true
that Sam knocks over running
jackrabbits with a football
around his home in Sweetwater?
Probably not. Still I'd hate to
bet on the rabbit if Sammy took
good aim.
The receivers have to catch
Baugh's passes in self defense.
He cuts their hair for 'em.
You'd like this tall, modest,
sharp-eyed, saddle,skinned long
horn. So would Sam Houston
have liked him, and the old guy
who held the Alamo, and the
rest of those Texas pioneers with
their tall rifles. He's their kind
of stock. Their sort of fighting
man.
WILL GO PLACES
Just because he doesn't talk
much is no sign he isn't think
ing. Not just to the end of his
nose, or his football playing
days, either. He's got a sweet
little girl back home in Texas,
and Sammy Baugh means to go
places to which the paths of
fame across football field do
not lead.
Then here was ride 'em down
Riley Smith, late of Alabama's
Red Dragons. Riley of the un-
erring toe, who produced one
of the great plays of a great
game, when the Giants temper
arily forgot that he has an arm
as accurate as his toe. He
faxed a placement and then
fired a perfect touchdown pass
80 yards to Wayne Millner, the
one-time pass catching special

football suit. From where I sat
it looked as though Turk was
trying. Every time he failed to
knock three guys down on a
play, he got mad and wanted
to start over.
If you saw this game, you
know why this bureau has been
insisting for several SemeSterS
that professional football is now
an established feature of the
nations sport pattern. I believe
you'll also know why I've con-
tended that no college team of
modern times could stand up in
that sort of going. 1t isn't
meant for them, shouldn't be.
Pro teams can't be inspired all
the time. They have off days
like all athletes and athletic
combinations. But when they're
hot, as Washington was yester-
day, they make a blast furnace
look like an ice cream freezer.
1t was a fine sight. Especially
when the floodlights came on to
make the gold helmeted Red
skins look like warning knights
Of old, banded together on some
wayside heath before the attack.
Only a great and virile country
could produce such splendid
specimens.

is conceded.
Accordingly the meeting OF tho
board of trustees here tomorrow may
turn out to be a. momentous one, since
far more Is involved than whether
Coach Heartily w. Anderson has or
has not been reelected as head root
ball coach at State College for the
coming year. While the trustees are
going to have to decide the Anderson
question one way or the other, unless
they want the General Assembly TO
decide it for them, the fundamental
issue before the board Is the question
of how much authority PreDident1
Frank Graham now has and shall
have in the future over the various
units of the consolidated university,
| it is agreed. Some of the members of
the board of trustees are very frank
in saying they agree with the State
and Women's College alumni, students
and faculty members who are insist
| ing that these units should have the
right of local self-government in
scholastic as well as in athletic mat
tiers, but for the fact that any cur
| tailment of his authority over these
units might endanger consolidation
For having gone this far in bringing
about consolidation most of the mem
| bers of the board of trustees do not
want to do anything or see anything
! done that might jeopardize the full
| realization of consolidation. This is
especially true among alumni of State
! College on the board, who feel that
as matters now stand, State College
has much more to gain from a con-
| tinuatiOn of the consolidation pro-
gram than any of the other units.
The advocates of "home rule" for
the various units, however, maintain
that there is nothing in their 'local
self-government" program for 10th
| athletics and scholastic matters which
will in any way interfere with the
continuation of the consolidation pro-
gram. All they are asking, they point
out, is that the administrative dean
and faculty of each until be given the
right to administer their affairs local
ly, so that they can hire and fire
coaches, professors or instructors
without dictation or veto by the presi-
dent of the Greater University. They
maintain that the dean of admins
tration at State College, for instance,
| together with the faculty, knows a
great deal more about conditions at
| State than does President Graham
who spends most of his time in Chapel
Hill, and that hence the president
should have only advisory powers
| over the units outside of Chapel Hill
Yet the sentiment in favor of great
er autonomy and more "home rule
for the various units of the univer-
sity is admittedly very strong, with
the result that if the trustees fail to
take any action tomorrow many be-
lieve the whole thing will then be
thrown right into the legislature. Most
observers think it will be better for
! the trustees to settle it,

A BULWARK OF DEMOCRACY

II seems rather curious that AFTER
asserting the need for more "lloeral
judicial Interpretation to serve the
needs of our democracy, President
Roosevelt cited the rise of European
relationships as an apparent llustra-
ton of what has happened to Demo
cracy when governments were unaDle
to adequately to respond to the needs
of the people.
Whatever may have been the un-
deriving cause of this dictatorlal de-
struction of democracy, it certainly
cannot be ascribed by courts or court
rulings. Few, if any, European coun-
tries have or have ever had, judi
cial branch of government which
stood on a "co-ordinate" basis with
the legislative and administrative
branches. The parliamentary bodies
are generally free to carry out their
will without consulting courts; and
that was the case with the govern
ments of those countries which now
have relationships.
The reference which Mr.. Roosevelt
makes might it seems to US be used
with equal effect in support OF the
view that written constitutions and
an unbiased judicial branch with the
recognized function Of declaring when
constitutional limitations are over
stepped, is a most potent agency in
preserving the type of representative
democracy which we have established
in this country. For it is at least
clear that political leaders with die
tatorial ambitions, when they have
succeeded in winning a popular fol-
lowing in these European countries,
have been able very speedily to con-
vert the legislative branch into SER
vile body, and with no restraint from
an authoritative judicial branch, have
made their own personal leadership
the supreme authority of government
