That BEST Team" Argument.

THERE always is some annoying cor.
respondent who picks out the hot.
test spot for fellow to stand on. Ont
writes: please step out and name
the best five football teams in the
country-in order"
There's no such animal. Certainly
California, Pittsburgh. Fordham, and
Alabama are among the best four. But
none of these could have gone un-
beaten through a Notre Dame sched-
ule. I don't believe any team in the
country could take Minnesota and
Pittsburgh on successive Saturdays.
Outside of Nebraska and Penn State,
Pitt still has a terrific party left with
Duke at Durham. Don't forget that
schedules play a big part in making
records.
I've been asked how Yale and Dart
mouth. in the ivy sector, compare with
Pitt and Fordham. I've seen all four
play. I wouldn't know. Pitt and Ford
ham have slightly the stronger lines,
but certainly no better backs. Clint
Frank still is the top. Goldberg isn't
30 far away. But Macleod and
Hutchinson are the best two backs
on any one of the four teams.
OF the four, I'd say Pitt has the
better all-around backfleld, with Gold
berg, Stebbins, Patrick, Cassiano, etc.
But I don't believe any OF the other
three has a field general as smart as
Frank. That can make big differ
ence.
Then there are teams such as Au-
burn and Villanova, which on any
given day might beat anybody. Three
or four experts have told me these
two teams are the best they have seen.
Other Startling Teams.
A T THIS point, you can pick up the
trail of Colorado, with bril-
liant back in Byron White. This Colo
rado team would be match for any
one.
Competition in the Southwest is 50
savage and evenly balanced that any,
thing can happen at any time. Most
OF these teams are not only well
matched, but quite strong. It was all
that fine Fordham team could do to
beat T. G. U. by point, yet T. c. U.
has been tied by Arkansas and Texas
A. and M. and has been beaten by
Baylor and Centenary. T. c. U. has
had nothing but tough afternoons
since September rs. Only a super
squad could stand that test.
Well know about Alabama after the
Georgia Tech game. Georgia Tech is
good, but erratic. Duke still is one
of the stronger teams. But there are
too many on par far any one to NOM
mate the best or the five best.

NEVER before in this sector has
= such a strong group of golfers
been gathered at single club, with
the exception of the group of stars

thereabouts.
In those days Columbia had Roland
Mackenzie, Guy Standifer, Albert

Stevinson, Donald Woodward and half
a dozen more good golfers in the fold.
But that was before the days OF the
Maryland team matches. Had the

Columbia would have won without

Peacock, former District champion;
Claude Rippy, public links champ;

Perhaps that will give you an idea
why Congressional waltzed through
the Maryland State team matches
without a real contest. and why five
sectional titles are held by the golfers
of that club this year. And why. if
Congressional holds the present group
of golfers within the club, no other
club in the Washington-Balti
area is going to lick 'em over their
own or any other golf course.
Also why that Maryland State team
championship trophy, already won six
years in row by Washington club,

days charity golf match, when John

in the East since the title of Mystery
Golfer" was attached to his name.
a year ago, when I told Babe Ruth
that Babe Didrikson could match him
on the tee. Ruth was highly indignant.
What does she weigh?" he asked.
"One hundred and thirty-fiv pounds"
I told him. Then It's lot of bunk"
Ruth said.
When they met, Babe Ruth matched
himself for fair-sized bet that he
would outdrive the Babe from Texas.
Ruth was three drives up and three
holes to go for his money when the
Texas Babe hammered three long ones
down the fairway and squared the
driving match.
She hit one over $50 yards on the
last hole" the Babe said gloomily.
"and that belt cost me a lot of dough. -
Don't get the idea into your head
that Ruth is any short hitter. He is
up with most of the good pros. If
Montague is on his game, he will out
distance both Babes by many yards,
but distance and direction are also a
matter of timing-which one can
easily lose after long layoff. He will
be long enough, but there will be no
debate about the control of his short
game, practice or no practice.

The MARYLAND BIBLE SOCIETYS CORNER
''The Word of Our God Shall Stand Forever"

The spirit of stream which in flood
may over-run its banks and destroy
life or property, must be propitiated,
sometimes by the sacrifice of sheep
or goat, whose throat is cut SO that the
blood is shed into the stream, or some
times merely by laying little bunch
of grass or a morsel of food beside
the steram at the crossing.
These people also engage in some
thing akin to ancestor worship. This
seems to be tribal in its expression,
and the tribe spirit is called CARA"
This CARA" is for the males only. The
women of the tribe call their spirit
"Idota," and the "Idota" may proph-
esq for the whole family with just as
much authority as the CARA" For
both Cara" and "Idota" some member
of the associated families or the tribes
serves as a medium, and through
this medium the prophecy is received.
When the translators began their
task of giving the Gospel to the people
of Gudeilla they met with special diff
ficulty because of the paucity of words
with any deep spiritual meaning such
as are necessary to express ideas COM
mon to the Christian faith. Such words
as holiness, righteousness, purity have
connotation far higher than these peo-
pie ever conceived.
The sinfulness of man and the hol-
mess of God were alike unintelligible
to them. Without conception of the
quality it is not surprising that they
lacked the exact word to express it.
Missing words had to be supplied, and
idioms strange to English usage en-
ployed. Negatives were often used to
convey the meaning, when the posi-
tive word could not be found, as in
Matthew 22-25: aye make the cup
and platter without dirt on the out
side" Slowly but surely the devoted
missionaries are finding way to make
clear Christ's message to these people
who sat in darkness.

A Gospel For The Gudeilla

Africa is properly called the Dark
Continent, not only because of the hue
of its peoples but rather more because
of the ignorance and barbarism, slav-
cry and falsehood which characterize
them-conditions for which they are
in no wise responsible. The Eunuch
from the court of Queen Candace ex-
pressed Africa's universal need when
he replied to the evangelist's ques-
ton: "Understandest thou what thou
readest?" with the counter question:
'%How can, l except some man teach
me?"
Before the missionaries of the Su-
dan Interior Mission came to live
among the Gudeilla people about 1880,
nothing had ever been written in their
language. There were of course no
grammar books nor any written vo-
cabulary. There were no teachers.
Anyone who would talk with them was
their teacher, and they had to make
their own books as they learned. Lit
tie by little, by attentive listening and
careful experimenting in the rules of
grammar, it was reduced to system.
Years will yet be required for perfect
understanding of this tongue. But it is
possible now to preach the Gospel in
telligently and to provide for this
tribe something to read in their own
tongue. What a triumph for the divine
Word!
Gudeilla belief has mixture Of ele-
ments in it. The tribal element is ami
mism, that is the worship of spirits
instead of God. To the natives of GUIDE
lila inanimate objects such as trees or
streams are inhabited by spirits. For
this reason a certain tree may be rev.
erenced. AS acts of worship men and
women passing by on the road will
pause to place handful of grass or
stone at its forks, rub little butter
on its bark, or hang cotton on its
branches as votive offerings. These
offerings are symbols Of prayers for
health, a prosperous journey, or for
children.

aide to Mr.. B. NJ. Baruch, who, though
frequent and friendly White House
visitor and Roosevelt supporter, is now
referred to as though he were dark,

The most violent denunciation, how
ever, is reserved for Governor Leh-
man of New York, whose letter to
Senator Wagner was one of the sensa-
tions of the Court fight. Governor
Lehman is not only abused but de-
scribed as insignificant and without
influence. Yet, hardly more than a
year ago, the New Dealers, including
Mr.. Farley, were practically on their
knees begging Mr.. Lehman to run for
Governor again; pointing out that he
was the greatest vote-getter in the
State and that it was vital for him to
run in order to insure the Presidents
carrying New York. When Mr.. Roose-
welt himself joined in the plea and
put it on personal grounds, Governor
Lehman yielded, recalled his decision
and with deep personal reluctance
committed himself to another term as
Governor. The New Dealers praised
him to the skies. He was, they said, g
great man, indeed. But, now because
he dared exercise the right to an in
dependent judgment on what he con
ceived vital issue, he has become &
villain. No better gauge of the quality

Strange Copies Of The Bible

Contrasts are always interesting, in
whatever field they may present them
selves. The writer we'll remembers two
pets in a lovely home where he was
often guest. They were Porto Rican
Toy dog about the size of small and
scrawny kitten, and grea: st. Ber-
nard.
There is even greater contrast and
diversity to be found among the edi-
tons of the Holy Scriptures, aside
from the astonishing fact that the
sacred writings have appeared in
whole or in part in 972 languages and
dialects since the work of translation
began centuries ago.
There lies on the desk before me a
complete Bible, authorized version
which easily slips into mans vest
pocket. It's dimensions are 11sx1%x%
inches. 1t can be read with powerful
reading glass, for every work is clear
ly printed. Of course it is a novelty
edition, and can serve no practical
purpose as book for devotional read
ing, the print being altogether toe
small for continuous reading, ever
with the strongest magnifying glass
the volunme weighs one ounce.
In direct contrast to this Liliputiar
volume is a Bible which might have
been prepared for the King of Brob-
dignag. It was made by Mr.. Louis
Waynai, Los Angeles carpenter, who
spent from eight to fourteen hours a
day for two years to finish the task
Then the book was too large that he
could not get it into any ordinary
church, so he had to build his own
church, seventy-fve by fifty feet, tc
house this mammoth book.
This is believed to be the largest
Bible in the world, and is the cham
pion book of the world, in size any
way.
This Bible weighs 1904 pounds, be.
ing 17,494 times as heavy as the vest
pocket Bible described above. 1t re.
quires ten men to life it, contains
8,048 pages, each written in hand
stamped letters, two inches high. Wher
opened it is over eight feet wide 1t is
43 inches tall.
Mr.. Waynai did every bit of the
work on this Bible, using rubber STAMP
letters and binding the volume himself
The infinite patience and devotion dis
played by this task evidences love
for the Book of Books as beautiful as
it is rare, and also reveals degree Of
mechanical skill much above the av
erage: for bookmaking and home
building are trades quite far removed
from each other.
Another unusual volume is one done
in manuscript by visitors at the grea
fair in Chicago, in the summers o.
"a and '35. DR.. j. L. Mclaughlin, Sec
rotary of the Northwestern District o.
the American Bible Society, kept loose
leaves in convenient spot at thu
Bible Society's exhibit and requested
all visitors to write a verse. The re
suit is a manuscript Bible, no TIVE
verses of which were written by thu
same person. This remarkable volume
was exhibited at the meeting of thu
Secretaries in New York in June o:
this year.

be less young folks standing on

tie in their hands, cigarettes
dangling from their lips wait
ing for some notorious dance
hall joint to open up. The only
way to get the churches filled
up again grown ups should go
to the church on Sunday ana
the younger folks would start
to fill up the empty seats,
Crowns ups start Sunday an,
