A Legitimate Challenge.

MY AGENTS report that the cam

Hopkins challenge to Alabama and
California will be in the mail next
week. and the Golden Bears and the
Crimson Tide, if they haven't skipped
the country bv that time, will have
no legitimate excuse for turning II
down.
Minnesota has been licked. South
ern California has been licked. Cor
nell has been licked. Tennessee has
been licked. Ohio State has been
licked. Manhattan has been licked
Notre, Dame has been licked and tied.
Duke has been tied. Nebraska mas
been tied. Texas A. and M. has been
tied. Who wants to bet that johns
Hopkins can't lick em all?

But Knox turned bolshevistic shortly
thereafter and began to win games

lowed her down the primrose path to
ruin, with winning spree OF her own.
These two clubs, therefore,
have forfeited all right to play

A team that has won couple OF

Vic Takes on More Duties.
THE 3o-year-old Junior from Wat
seka. Ill. served notice Of his
talents last Fall by breaking away for
lengthy touchdown runs. His inaugural
jaunt this season was in the West Viz
GINA Wesleyan game two weeks ago,
when he scampered 50 yards to tally in
q masterpiece of broken field running.
Experts agree he's scoring threat
every time he breaks into the open.
It's conceded that Vic might wear
well against Alabama on outside rum
ming plays and punt returns, but re-
Gently he's taken the burden of run
ming inside tackle and guard plays as
vell. and that's where A lightweight
might get bruised in a hurry.
Sampson chopped away at the stout
Wesleyan line with telling effect, how
ever. He added a number of short
gains to that long one and finished
the evening with total of l2S yards
on IL PLAYS, an average of p.6. He
vesnt used as much against Wake
Forest. but averaged yards every
time he logged the ball.
Has Perfect Passing Record.
THE Colonials' ground game will be
built around SIMPSONS inside
cuts and outside sweeps, the reverses
which Bob Nowaskey and Bruce
Mahan use to advantage and short
line labs. with Jay Turner and Elmer
Hogg doing the rsmmine. This pair
have battled for the fullback berth all
season. Turner holding the edge.
Hogs line plunging unouestionably is
superior. however, and his forte will
be used to best advantage.
Coupled with this running attack,
the Colonials will be able to use an
serial game that may worry the big
Red eleven. If the Tide has a weak
ness. it's on pass defense, Colonial
scouts report, and c. w. may connect
through the air lanes.
In two games the Colonial tossers
have piled up 295 yards on 13 COM

SCHOOL FOR POLITICS

SCHOOL FOR POLITICS
The announcement this week by the University
of Washington that special fve-year courses for
government service training would be established
there, will undoubtedly give rise to a number of
facetiOus remarks.
But no hint that such remarks are expected is
given in the colleges announcement, which states,
simply and directly, that adequately trained men
and with ability to organize and direct
are i'm constant demand by federal state and local
governments and that the expansion of personnel
in bureaus, divisions and departments OF govern
ment during recent years provides an opportunity
for students who are trained for public service
administration.
There is no doubt that times are changing and
that the field of government, like the field of
sports, is now largely on professional rather
than an amateur basis.
Just as many people believe that the best years
of sport were those before professionalism had
lued the athletes from their simple enjoyments to
the worries and difficulties of the money games so
do many people believe that the country was hap
pier when the government operated by anna
teurs who considered public office as pleasant
interlude rather than life's work.
However it may work out in practice in theory
the scheme of special courses and training for
prospective office holders is quite logical. Cover
ment service is a complicated field and should be
reserved for those who have been trained in the
fundamental principles of economics political
science, sociology, and numerous other subjects.
According to the announcement, successful
government administration, in large measure, is
a problem of personnel, and that men and women
professionally trained are less susceptible to mol
itical pressure.
All of which may indicate that in the not so dis
tant future the candidate for public office will in
clude his college diploma with the rest of his
campaign literature.
