At least, the only noticeable
difference in the locker rooms be-
fore, during and after their big
games, is that the carefully
trained and regimented collegiates
try their best to act like unemo-
tional automatons while the pros
let themselves go, in blood, hate
and curses.

It would surprise you to walk

PREPAREDNESS, WATCHWORD
Preparedness, watc word of
these guardians Of our frontiers,
was on every hand, in war and in
sports.
Navy expects a rain Of forward
passes from Columbia, with Sid
Luckman of the Blue and White
doing the throwing. Luckman is
regarded by Navy as one OF the
leading exponents Of the pass in
football today.
HE holds off tacklers with one
hand and still gets the ball to
eligihles. A crashing defense may
stop him, but it will take a lot of
tackling; good hard tackling."
This was the report, practically
verbatim of the scouts who saw
Luckman play against Cornell last
week.
Navy is not downcast by the
events of the past few weeks on
the football field. The team re-
mains the service boast of Men in
Blue. The upward swing is started
and Columbia will feel the might
of an enraged Midshipmen eleven
which is one Of the best outfits,
man for man and pound for pound
that Navy has had in several
years.
Alfred Wallace, the center who
was injured early in the season
will be back in harness for Co
lumbia, playing a part Of the
game at least. This is good news
to Navy men, for Wallace was out
standing until injury struck him
down. Bill Ingram, still under
the weather from injuries, prob
ably will see action. The prob
abilities are that he will not start
the game.

Rain, rain, rain, too much rain
was our verdict for Sunday, Mon

ly consoling to learn that this was
not the only wet section" in the
country. The Associated Press re-
ported that chilling fall winds and
rain swept across most of the ma
ton and in the west snow covered
a large area of the rockies.
Monday night group of West
Jefferson merchants met at the Of

commercial rates which the Com
pany put into effect here last sum-
mer. They contended that their
bills under the new sched-
ule were much higher Mr.. Roberts
explained the set-up carefully to
them, but it seems to be a situa-

can complain, talk about it. etc,

they can do about it! However,
they may file complaint with the
