Columbus Opens
With TouqhFoe

Banging away with full steam
ahead, Columbu University
boxers yesterday went through a
rigorous two-hour training session
in preparation for their opening
contest with the strong Appala-
chan State College scheduled for
Turner's Arena Friday night. The
action will start at $50.
Eight bouts will complete the
card.
Coming here with two wins
under their belts, one a 6-2 vic
tory over the Kannapolis Y. M. C..
A. team, undefeated in three
years, and Southern champs
among the Y'S, the other at the
expense of the High Point Y by
the same score, the Mountain
eers" are pointing to a win over
the local battlers.
Wilson Boasts Record
Highlighting the visitors lineup
will be 200-pound Len Wilson, a
rough and tumble battler who
fights for the love of it. The big
fellow has never tasted defeat,
and is reported to have been the
sensation of every meet.
What looks to be the most
promising fight on the card will
be the battle between Columbus
University'S flashy Bobby Raw
son, 147-pounder, and Garnett
Clark, 145-pounder, who thus far
is undefeated. Rawson, a good
fast puncher and on the go at
all times is expected to have his
hands full. Clark's most out
standing victory is one scored
over Jack Dunnaway, North Caro-
lima States all-Southern champ
whom Clark defeated in the finals
Of the Golden Gloves.
Grimm in Gard
Other familiar faces to be seen
in action for Columbus University
will be the hard punching Mike
Morton, sensation Of the recent
Golden Gloves tournament;
DODOS vi 1L4lLIlS O1SG11CU ASI1G
heavyweight champ for two years
and also veteran of Golden
Gloves, and Ray Morse, clever

Two Mat Trusts
Honor at Stake

AS a post-inaugural wrestling
feature, Maestro Joe Turner has
concocted a delicacy consisting of
some 500 pounds of raw meat to
be tossed at his patrons Thurs
day night when Dean Dutton and
Gino Garibaldi climb into the arena
to play tiddledewinks with each
other.
There will be something at stake
beside a mere victory or defeat
between the two behemothS, for
this will also be match for the
honor of the two wrestling trusts,
that fathered by Toots Mondt and
that flourishing under the joint
auspices of Jacques Curley and
Rudy Duseck.
Dutton represents the former,
and Garibaldi the latter, and thus
two champions, each claiming to
be the one and only heavyweight
titleholder, will be grimmacing and
grabbing at each other while the
mat-minded beSeech from their
perches for mayhem and more
mayhem.
Backing up this offering will be
torture surveyors such as John
Katan and George Mcleod; Henry
Piers and Harry Fickelstein, Abe
Coleman and Jack Holder and Bill
Sledge (whatta a name for a
wrestle) and Andy Meixner.
Sledge is the former Southwest
Conference heavyweight cham
pion, title earned when he was
a student at Rice Institute.
The main bout will be a one
hour time limit and the supporting
matches at variously IS and 80
minutes each.

Conceived during an argument
In 1927, it proved even a bigger
and more popular success than
its originator, Howard Campbell,
had expected it to be.
Thirty-two bowlers assured it's
permanency when they plunked
down $28 to roll in the first one.
Campbell had figured on Is.
From this none too humble
beginning, it climbed steadily to
an all-time record entry of ST
in 1890.
First winner was Glenn VOL
Gtenholme and the manner in
which he won is still a favorite
topic when boWlers gather to
reminence. Trailing by few pins
going into the final boxes the
Stocky flash ripped off barrage

crushed all opposition.
Megaw OutlastS Field
Walter Red" Megaw outlasted
the field in 1928 after two sub
Staptial opening sets. Nineteen

Brad Mandley gain top-ranking
in the nations bowling circles
due no little to his spectacular
victory in the Campbell.
Two Jewish boys fought it out
fol the 1880 crown, with Make
Rosenberg nosing out George
Friend to pocket the biggest purse
in the history of the event.
AStor Clarke leaped into the
headlines and established himself
definitely among the topnotchers
by romping away with the 1881
event, while Tony Santini wrote
the most sensational page in the
annals of the classic with his one
pin triumph over Ed Blakeney in
1882.

Santini was apparently out Of
running at the end OF the first
two blocks, but in the final five
games he struck top form and
needing a spare and nine to win
in the last box, Tony nearly Splint-
cred single pin break and ripped
off the necessary nine!
Only slightly less dramatic was
''Whip" Litchfield'S triumph in
1888, when he came through with
two final games over the $50 mark
to beat out Dutch" Newman,
who had been conceded victory by
the large gallery.
Sam Simon came pounding
down the stretch to slip in under
the wire ahead of "Hokie" Smith

set, in 1884,

almost one hundred pins behind,

order one pin behind each other.
The second block of the Camp

AVERAGE MAN-MISREPRESEN
lSanta Barbara NeMSl

One of the most foolish amusements indulg-
ed in by statistic mongerS is the reducing of
financial and economic conditions to terms of
the average man." Now that the national debt
and national expenditures subjects Of daily
headlines, the statisticians are reporting that
the average man" owes S267.36 of the national
debt and that the average man" pays Sl0O a
year federal taxes, and SO on.
There is no such thing as an average man."
despite the fact that feature story writer's dug
up" such individual at the center point of
the nations population, and defeated their
contention by making him 50 famous that his
life made miserable by crank letters and
vaudeville offers.
If we were to apply this average" idea to
all space and matter that man knows about
would have an answer that everything known
is virtually vacuum, since the great universes
spread evenly through all known space would
leave, in each cubic foot Of space, trace Of
matter too small TO be measured.
In spite of the fact that national debts and
taxes are increasing, there millions of peo-
pie relief in the United States who will re-
ceive more and more. Millions more will pay
nothing but the most indirect taxes matter
how large the tax burden grows.
The average man" is fine slogan for poll
tics but he does not exist in economics relat-
ing TO government finance.

a FARCE GOES FORWARD
AT SALINAS

AT the complaint of the Fruit and
vegetable Workers Union in Salinas.
representatives of the National Labor
relations Board have instituted hear
ing to determine if the Salinas grower
shlpper organization violated the ma
tlonal labor act in the recent lettuce
strike by preventing peaceful picket
lng witnesses who acted to quell the
strike have been treated as though on
trlal Tor some odorous offense. From the
tone of the hearings, it is apparent that
the growers and shippers will be. at
least, sharply reprimanded, if not found
guilty of violating the law.
Anyone who was in Salinas. or even
drove through Salinas during the strike,
knows that the hearing is nothing but
a farce OF first water. 1t might be diff
ferent If 1t hinged on evidence relating
TO anything but peaceful picketing"
There was no peaceful picketing in
the Salinas strike. If there had been.
the growers and shippers would not
have attempted to halt the strike. They
would merely have employed those work
ers who wished to work, and let it 90
at that. The peaceful picketers could
stand around as long as they wanted
Two months after the strike, Imperial
Valley saw an example of what is now
pellS called pedceIul plcketlng tactics.
A fruit worker was severely beaten here
by four others because he had refused
10 strike at Salinas If those are peace
ful methods, then the war in Spain is
a little boys game.
1t was not peaceful picketing that
caused shippers to protect their trucks
with chicken wire to prevent breakage
from hurtling rocks. 1t was not peace
full picketing that caused the citizens
of Salinas to rise up en- masSe and chase
the strikers off the streets. 1t was not
peaceful picketing that saw laborers
beaten, stoned and cursed because they
would not join the strike, and saw their
families threatened.
The National Labor Relations Board
would do we'll to remember that there
are two sides, even to this question 1t
might be very wise thing for the board
to do to conduct hearing first into the
question of whether there actually was
any peaceful picketing, before it tries
to learn if anyone prevented peaceful
picketing Even the National Labor Re-
lations Board should realize that you
cannot prevent something that does not
exist even in plans.

Now that we have got through OBJ
serving the goth anniversary oil
Americas entrance into the World
War. it might be sensible to re-eX-
anime the whole question OF the
things which happen to a democ-
racy in wartime.
War is a hare, grim business.
When you start it you have to go
ahead and win at any price. And
cne of the first prices that must
be paid is the suspension of the Or
binary rules of democracy Tor the
duration of the war.
Nothing, for instance, could be
less democratic than a universal
conscription law. If a citizen can
be dragged from his home, forced
into the army, and compelled TO
travel to foreign soil and fight and
die in a war which he believes un-
wise or unjust, he is to all intents
and purposes under dictator
ship. Hitler, Mussolini, or Stain
could do no more to him than that
Yet that is simply part of the
price of war. We did it in 1917, and
we shall undoubtedly do something
similar in the next war The price
of preserving democracy in war
time, in regard to military service,
might very well be defeat. When
you go into a war you go in to
win, regardless.
That would not be SO bad, if ii
bore equally on everyone. But the
men who served in the army in our
East wiar discovered, when they
came out, that the dictatorship had
rot rested with equal weight on
everyone. They learned that some
people had made a fine thing out
of the war; that something like
$4,000 new millionaires had been

.SUBSTRATOSPHERE TRAVEL
DREAM NEAR.S REALITY

Two aircraft companies in the United
States are designing and building huge
airplanes intended for travel in the sub
stratosphere, layer of extremely thin air
miles above the earth. One such plane,
built for the United States Army, will
be ready for tests within two weeks.
The other will be constructed immediate
ly for another company, largely inter-
ested in transatlantic travel.
Experts in aviation have realized for
several years that substratosphere trav-
ell is possible. They have known of the
difficulties to be overcome, and have
been at work devising means to meet
these difficulties. Now, the time comes
near when men will hurtle at great
speeds through air too thin to breathe,
but thin enough to allow rocket-like
speed undeterred by air pressure.
What will substartosphere travel mean
in the history of air transportation?
We know the answer, at least in part.
Riding above earthly storms, without
deterrants to speed, airplanes of the fu-
ture will link continents in the time it
takes to drive hundred miles by auto.
The world will be brought more closely
together. 1t is even probable that such
intimate contact between the nations
will have a decided effect on the geo.
graphic and economic systems of the
various Nations.
Progress does not stop.

created: that great industrialists,
far from being conscripted by the
government, had enjoyed fat prof.
its; that the government, instead of
seizing those profits to pay the cost
of the war, had gone into debt to
the tune of some 80 billions.
And SO people began to wonder
why a democracy at war should
make such sharp distinction be-
! tween personal rights and proper
ty rights. They began to wonder
why, if a government has the right
to make a citizen give up his life,
it does not also have the right to
make him give up his property.
Out of all this has grown the
current agitation to take the prof
its out of war" to draft indus
try" and SO on.

bills designed to do precisely thosa
things; and Congress is discovery
ing that the job isn't SO simple as
it looks. For here, again, there is

might just possibly, create the in
tinitely complicated machinery to
make war profitless; if it worked,
the production of ships, Shells oil,
iron ore, guns, clothing and other
essentials would almost certainly
be so delayed that you would lose
the war
Now it is rather important for
us to understand that the inequali-
ties and glaring injustices of war;
time can't be eliminated no mat
ter how hard We try. If We go to
war again, men will be treated in
one way and dollars will be treat
ed in another; and we might as
well make up our minds to it-for
that's the way wars are.
And if We do appreciate that
fact. we may be able to muster the
good sense to stay on the sidelines
the next time a war comes along.
