LOS ANGELES. Dec. 6. tUP)-I
don't know Prof. Frank G.. Dickin-
son of the University of Illinois
but I certainly would like TO. He
must be my type OF man. else how
in the world could he have ar

his name at Champaign yesterday.
With the season completed. and
with the record of every team
available. Professor dickinson mot
without a mild rebuke from Mrs.
Dickinson. I truSO, rose amidst his
charts and formulae and said that
the eleven top teams and their
point ratings we're:
Notre Dame. 2772; Duke, 27lO;
Tennessee 1858; U. S. c., 23.7l;
Oklahoma. 1859; Michigan. 2302;
Minnesota, 227l; Texas Christian,
2267; Alabama, 22.63; Carnegie
Tech, 1882; Pittsburgh, 22.54
I thought was the country's
worst picker in the sports field,
and that the system I used was the
last word in arriving at a wrong
conclusion. But now along comes
Professor Dickinson from behind
the bushels where he has been hid
ing his light, and makes a piker
out of me and my feeble little
wrong picking efforts As fine as
my system is, it makes no provision
for me to pick things wrong AFTER
they have happened 1t simply as
sureS me that l can guess wrong
before an event.
But the professors system has
no such imperfection. With all the
football returns in he can sit right
down and pick Minnesota !. ano
Michigan over T. G. U. The fact
that Southern California kicked the

Saturday didn't clog a gear in tbs
professors system, and he found II
simple to name Notre Dame as the

would be a Whiz in boxing, and
completely change the. pugilistie
picture. For example. suppose the
professor applied the same method
he used in choosing Notre Dame, to
prizefight in which a fighter won
the first eight ROUNDS. only to be
knocked out in the ninth. He m
doubtedly would name the man
who was knocked out as the win
ner. In horse racing. it is conceiy-
able that the professor would give
the Derby or the ProakneSS to the
horse that led the greater part OF
the distance
There Is only one thing that
bothers me in the professors list,
and that is how in the world he
missed giving rankings to such
schools as California Tech, Iowa
Kentucky, Chicago. Texas. Furman
De Paul. and Sewanee. California
Tech lost seven games. but also
won one. Doesn't that count for
anything?

 BEFORE FIRST
Haida Returns from Halibut Patrol-Leaves Again
 on April 20

The Coast Guard Cutter Haida, returned to port this morning after five days of preseason halibut pat rol to report that the Cutter Alert, out of Ketchikan, had apprehended the Bonita of Hydaburg for fishing before the season had opened and not clearing port.
 It was learned the Alert had taken the vessel Bonita into custody near Craig with 400 pounds of halibut aboard, caught before the season opened. The Bonita was taken to Craig and the case turned over to the United States Commissioner there.
 The Haida reported no violations in her sector, but boarded the vessel Norlsnd, found. her papers in order and lgear dry, and identified three other vessels.
 ! Tflelma George and Jones Milton were brought down from Yakutat with the Haida for disqualification at the Government Hospital here
 Alert Coming
 The Haida also reported that the Cutter Alert, It. J.GD Carl Stober, would arrive in Juneau Tuesday night to begin firing on Mendenhall Rifle Range Wednesday for rifle, pistol and machine gun practice.
 Seal Patrol
 Seal Patrol will call the Haida to sea again late this month. It is scheduled to meet the Cutter Red- wing at Cape Ommaney on the 2Oth of April and convoy the seal herd from there to Unimak Pass. The Redwing will follow the herds from Cape. Flattery to Cape Ommaney. The Haida expects to leave the seal herds May 5th and return to Juneau and thence to Seattle for battle practice with the big guns for two weeks. She will return the end of May

sCULPTORs' CHOICE

Turn about and go along Penn sylvania avenue, past the White House, around the treasury build ing and to point opposite the new Post Office building. There, on a little square which he shares with a public lavatory, rides Kasimir Pulaski, doughty Polish soldier who brought both social prestige and military skill to the American revo- lution. Calmly along the pedestal strolls the horse three feet firmly planted in bronze and fourth striding out over row of benches.
 Yet Pulaski was shot down by the British during the siege of Savannah. He didn't die instantly, so the horse, seeming to under stand, lifts up one foot. But Pulas- Xii did die while the battle was still in progress, so in all fairness he should be credited with dying in battle and be entitled to two lifted feet.
 No less an authority than H. O. Caemmerer, secretary of the Com mission of Fine Arts, says the dis puted tradition is somebody's men, tai fancywork. Tt keeps coming up," he says, but leading sculptors say there is no basis for it."
 If sculptor wants his horse to have two feet off the ground he has 1t that way, and the rider, be he sherman or zedekiah Doakes, can take it and like it.

Lafayette square, right across Penn sylvania avenue from the White House, is a statue of Andrew Jack son Now Jackson was shot in bat tie and wounded in duels no end. But he died in bed. Yet there he is, in the middle of the square, riding a horse with two forefeet hoisted high into the air in a prancing gesture that gives the starlings one of the best roosts in the city
 Now go out Pennsylvania ave- nue a dozen blocks to Washington circle, In the center is George Washington, riding a monstrous bronze stallion whose two fore feet are fairly paving the air And any one who wants to argue that Wash ington died in battle is free to do so.
