ABOUT MARO0NS
Fears Wolverines Hold Foe
Too LightIy-0ther Big
-. Ten Camps Tense.
Fy the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, Oct. 5.-Fritz Crisler
got Michigan away to a flying start
in his debut as the Wolverine football
coach, but he is taking no chances
not even against Chicago's Maroons,
long the doormat Of the Big Ten.
Crisler wasn't around the confer
ence last year when the Maroons had
the Wolves soundly whipped until
furious comeback gave Michigan Q
l3-to-l2 triumph.
But he was around yesterday when
an unimpressive Michigan drill led him
to warn his squad not to take the Ma
rooms and their inexperienced line too
lightly for the game Saturday. They'll
pin our ears back If you do" he said.
Out on Chicago's Midway, Coach
Clark Shaughnessy's small squad, en-
thsiastic as ever despite a scoreless
tie in their opener went through
strenuous drill in preparation for their
opening Big Ten contest.
Shaughnessy ordered another long
round of blocking and tackling yester-
day and indicated he would stand on
the line which performed against
Bradley. It includes five sophomores.
His backfield will include all veterans
unless he makes a change before Sat-
urday.
At other Big Ten camps yesterday,
Purdue worked for the Minnesota game
behind locked gates The Gophers were
to do the same today and for the rest
of the week. The regulars at Iowa ran
over the Hawkeye freshmen for one
quick touchdown, and then were ex-
cused. At Wisconsin. which will meet
the Hawkeyes this week, the Badgers
stopped cold freshman squad using
Iowa plays.
Indianas running attack was re-
ported somewhat disabled by injuries
The Hoosiers began polishing their
aerial offenses for Illinois. The Illini.
meanwhile. looked good on offense but
bad against Indiana plays employed by
freshmen.
Ohio State held a long defensive
drill and worked on passes in prepara-
ton for Southern California. North
western, scheduled to meet Drake,
stressed defensive play in q lengthy
session.

SOUNDS LIKE WAR

Everybody Worrying Over
Air Raids in Array of

KANSAS CITY, Oct. 5.-The casual
observer, stepping into a Big Six grid
camp this week, would believe himself
in a war zone
On every hand is the frightened,
whispered talk of anticipated air raids.
On the field coaches feverishly drill
their squads in all known defense
moves against aerial bombardments.
All await the zero hour-kickof time
Saturday-with misgivings.
Even the Oklahoma Sooners, who
smashed Rice's touted bombers last
Saturday by smothering the Owls pro-
jectiles, are concentrating on pass de-
tense. This week end they face the
thrusts Of Beefus Bryan, Texas ex-
pert gunner, at Dallas

It's pass defense, too, at Manhattan,
where the Kansas State Wildcats pre-
pare for an invasion of the Missouri
Tigers. The Wildcats permitted
Northwestern three scores through the
air and face the unpleasant prospect
OF an afternoon on the same field with
Missouri's Big Bertha, Sophomore
Paul Christman.
Missouri, noting the Northwestern
results, Is grooming Christman for
busy afternoon. In fact, yesterdays

Big Paul and his co-worker, Bill
Amelung, spending most Of their time
on the gunnery range.
Fear of aerial attack Is making
Coach Jim Yeager of Iowa State an
unhappy man. His Cyclones looked
helpless yesterday against Nebraska
passing plays and he fears the worst.
Meanwhile secondary defense work re-
ceives his personal attention.

CENTRAL IS SEEN
OF TITLE CALDER
Rated Highly After Defeat
of Western, Poor Play by
Other Rivals.

With only Roosevelt High Schools
football team left to play its initial
game of the season. Central's sup
porters, looking to the showing made
by other elevens in their games 30 far,
already are giving the Mount Pleasant
school a strong chance of taking the
championship from Eastern.
Eastern made an Indifferent show
ing against Episcopal. IS did Tech
and Western, the other school thought
to have a chance this season, went
down to defeat before a fast, WELL
coached Central team yesterday, l4-7,
in the second game of the er-high
championship series.
Winners Get Bad Start.
In the early part of the game dur
ing Westerns opening touchdown
march. the Blue and White did not
appear Of championship caliber.
A Central kick was blocked and recov-
cred on their 2o-yard line, from which
George Barnes and Frank Dwyer of
Western alternated in rushing to the
goal, with the former pounding over.
Dwyer converted.
In the middle Of the second quarter,
however, Central took command. With
play in midfield, Jimmy Clark. the
Blue and Whites right end. took the
ball on two end-around plays down to
the Western 4-yard stripe. Then
Benny Steiner, quarterback, tossed q
pass to End Dick Farr over the goal.
Steiner added the extra point
Again in the third quarter Central
showed its power. Shannon Cramer,
one of the two letter men on Coach
Pearce's team, recovered Dryers fum-
BILE on Westerns IS. Steiner rushed
the ball to within striking distance,
and from the 6-yard line Jim Por-
ter ran around right end for another
score. A pass, Steiner to Clark, made
the extra point.
Clark Plays Fine Game.
Clark was one of the outstanding
players Of the game, spilling many
plays aimed at his side and picking
up much yardage for the Mount
Peasants on end-around runs.
Centrals passing game also was
good, as Steiner and Tony Di Blasi
completed Of their IL attempted
heaves. Western finished but 7 of 20
passes started. but many Of those
missed were desperately long tosses
late in the game.

BACK TO SANITY

The nations booze bin last year was upwards of
three billion dollars; the amount of money spent
in gambling of various types is estimated as at
least half as much more; the number of cigarettes
smoked in the United States for 1887 was about
III, 1000 100000; the toll of persons killed in mo-
tor accidents on the highways reached almost 49,
000.' ~~.'~
In these concise figures the trend of the Ameri-
can people for single year is impressively ex-
pressed! 'Life, liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness" was once believed to be the three-sided goal
of human endeavor, and to the attainment and
preservation of these, men gave their lives, en-
dured hardships and counted no sacrifice too great,
IL &c brought the desired end. No one wants to
think-or much less say-that the nation is losing
Its ideals but it's hard test on faith just the

Federal officials are pleased

figures for the country.
In August, latest month for
which figures can be had, 1875, 900
persons left WPA rolls and an es-
timated 10000 took private in
dustry jobs. About $4,000 actually
said they were taking other jobs
and $4,000 moro quit without
saying why. Officials can't see
why those in the latter group quit
unless it was to get better en-
ployment. Another $4,000 were
discharged for inefficicncy or laid
off.
Although WPA has n present
peak of 3,l29,0OO workers, only Is
per cent have been on the rolls
steadily since the first peak ir
February, 1886. More than $780,
600 persons have worked on WPA

THE REAL THREAT

The average American is highly wary OF Com
munism, Fascisn or other foreign 'lsms' winch ne
believes may slip through our borders surreptitious
ly and destroy freedom and democracy as ne knows
it.
=. Yet it is probable; as DR.. Nicholas Murray But
Ter has pointed out that the great threat to Amer
lean democracy lies within our own borders.
Abuse of taxing power, gradual GENERALIZATION OF
government, and growing bureaucracy are few
of the evils that are insidiously undermining de-
,mocracy from within, observes DR.. Butler
Political demagogues have taught millions OF
persons to believe that the way to better things
lies in the destruction of wealth, or, if you will
Redistribution of wealth." which is another way
of putting it. The taxing power of government is
being used to do the job.
Instead of seeking to create more wealth, more
production, and higher standard of living, the
country is backtracking. The people are confused
They are allowing public money to be used to
destroy taxpaying enterprises and private jobs un
der the deluson that they are thereby establishing
social Justice" social security or some Utopia1
condition that appeals to mass sentiment.
What is the ultimate solution to this problem
There is only one solution-pubhc education.
Just as the three RS, readin', 'ritin' and 'rith
mete, are taught to every child so must the simple
fundamentals of economcs-the bread and butter
side of lfe the obligation to produce, the obliga
ton to save-be taught to every individual, chile
and adult alike. Only in this way can democracy
ultimately survive.-Greenville Piedmont.
