Willing to ConCede that Thorpe
was a more brilliant performer,
and capable of rising to greater
heights at times. WEIGH insisted
that GuyOn was Steadier, smarter
and better man for a team.
All of this developed during a
breakfast chat before Welch re.
turned to his home at Camp
Kewanzee along the Sky Line
Highway down in Virginia
Welch said this morning:
Thorpe was a wonderful
football player. At his peak,
he could do things that no other
man could do. He was fast,
ran with terrific power that
made deception unnecessary. He
could shift and weave and
change pace. He could punt
or kick from placement.
Maybe you've said it all
when you've said all that"
Welch continued. I'VE are not
finished yet with Jim. He could
pass 18th the best of them.
"GuyOn was not quite as
shiity, but he was almost as
fast. He was a better line
plunger than Thorpe, and
loved to plunge. Thorpe hated
to buck a line. His forte was
on sweeps, and of course, he
was terrific on such plays.
"GuyOn was better defensive
player than Thorpe, although
Jim could just about mdress
a runnV if he got a free shot
at him." Welch continued:
"Guyon's experience as a line
man probably helped him as a
defensive player, and probably
helped him as plunger. The
leg drive of the charging for
ward is pretty much the same
as the leg drive of a charging
back.
"Guyon's judgment in game
probably was better than
Thorpe's. l played in 1911 and
1912, when Thorpe was in the
backfield, in 1913, when GuyOn
was halfback. Joe was easier to
handle on the field.
"The advantages that Jim
held over Joe were not great.
The same goes with Joe over
Jim. I'd say that l would like
to be able to discover another
Thorpe or another GuyOn for
the team at American Univer-
Sity."
Welch went back over the his
tory of great Indian players and
challenged the claims of Charley
Brickley to preference over Frank
Hudson, who played at Carlisle
just before the turn of the cen
tury. Hudson played on the teams
with Thaddeus Red Water, Bemus
and Harley Pearce, the mighty
Seneca, who was as great a broken
field runner as football ever knew
The talk returned to the present
and welsh spoke of his hopes al

FOR about the same potato acreage

Federal economists said that de-

ed, but might be offset by an increase
in late producing states. 80
This seasons output of 399'OOo'oOo

Economics said moderate reduction
in acreage probably would result IN

Huge Reserve Fund and

Reasons; Wall Street Spe-

Sharp Criticism At Com

Washington, Nov. 8.-(AP)-A sub
committee of the social security ad-
visory council will study the advis
l-ility of substituting a pay-as-you-go
program for the present system of
handling old-age pensions through a
huge reserve fund.
1t will report to the Council De-
cember 10, after comforting with the
Social Security Board and the Senate
Finance Committee.
A member Of the latter committee,
Senator Vandenberg, Republican
Michigan, listed the reserve funds as
one of two reasons why he wanted
the social security law revived by the
advisory council. His other reason is
the tax system.
Vandenberg said the pension taxes
on wages and payrolls, borne equally
by employee and employer, are I'M
necessarily severe.
The present, pension tax on the 3D.
100000 wage earners holding social
security accounts is two percent of
their earnings. Part is paid by their
employers. This rate will increase

percent.
