dOubtedly call for several changes.
Particular fault is found with the
type of shoe cleat which screws on
to a metal post, extending from the
shoe sole. When this cleat is broken
off and the post exposed, it can
easily become the cause of deep
cuts or painful abrasions.
When less dangerous protective
equipment is found, equipment that
will afford safety to the same de-
gree as does present equipment,
then both coaches and players will
welcome it.

devised what is probably the best
football helmet from viewpoint of
safety. The Layden head guard has

It will be used in many colleges

Fuel for the Debate

STATISTICS regarding shutout
games in the two major leagues
last season merely furnish addi-
tional ammunition to baseball fans
who argue the relative strength of
the two circuits.
There were $50 shutout games in
the two leagues, SO in the National
and Al in the American. That still
doesn't prove anything to league en-.
thusiasts. National league support
ers have the shutout records to
back up claims that their league
excels in first rate pitching. Amer
lean league fans argue that there
are more pOwerhOuse sluggers in
that league, and have the same fig
ure to support their contention.
Meanwhile the argument con-
tinues, with both sides using the
same statistics to prove their case.

promoters have always been wary
of all Negro bouts, and have al
ways had a curious prejudice
against them. Chief among the rea-
sons is that a large percentage of
fight fans stayed away out Of sheer
indifference to the outcome. Any
thing that lessons the gate receipts
is naturally arsenic to promoters.
There are other reasons why it is
unusual to see top Negro fighters
throwing leather at each other in the
nations big arenas.
Far too many mediocre white
boys have advanced a long ways
through regulations built up by fixed
fights. Negro fighters, facing inferi-
or white fighters, have been forced
to 20 into the tank in order to earn
the most meager living. Exploited
as reputation fodder, they were
forced to play ball with all types Of
promoters and racketeers.
However, the abandon with which
two Negroes fought led those pro-
motors to believe that they had lost
their hold on the managerial strings
stretching to the fighter.
Louis has cleaned up the white
field, and Lewis is now his out
standing opponent. It's a break for
John Henry, because his style is
best calculated to bother Louis,
much in the same manner as did
Bob Pastors. Lewis, too, can use
the money. The light-heavyweight
championship was not as lucrative
as II might have been.
And John Henry is aggressively
confident. That is a tremendous as
set in his favor.

This diagram is the first actual
cut shot and break.
To make this shot requires abso-
lutte accuracy in striking the object
ball 70 right. In order to keep your
cue ball from hurdling or jumping
the table, keep continually alert
on holding your cue level. Since
striking a cue ball below the center
will keep it on the table, l would
advise that you strike your cue ball
slightly below center. The most
glaring fault of novice players, when
the object ball is near cushion, is
to elevate the butt of the cue. This
in the majority of cases causes the
cue ball to leave the table.

Top Ranking in
American Sport
By ROBERT McSHANE

X ORTY-SEVEN years ago a col
lege boy invented a game to fill
up the existing slack between
football and baseball seasons.
His name-JameS A. Naismith.
The game-basketball.
Back in 1892 young Naismith
merely wanted a game that would
supply proper exercise to athletes
in the winter without the drudgery
of ordinary gymnasium routine. He
borrowed some rules from rugby,
lacrosse and hockey. A loosely knit
game to begin with, it was often
played with as many as 40 players
on a side.
AT first the inventor experimental
with a circle on the floor for his
basket, but the goal tender parked
himself in the circle, and scores
were impossible. He then tried
hockey net, but too many points
were tailed. Finally the balcony
caught his eye, and he decided to
place the basket out of reach of
the cOmbatantS.

young offenders thoughts to proud- CT things. Without any doubt, also, many children keep biting rough, soiled nails to try to improve them. Besides, the hand -to-mouth gesture being so apt, anything like hang- nail or hard cuticle tempts the teeth. It all fits in. This is why other habits are simple to remedy com- pared with this bugbear of training.
 If it is possible to keep a childs manicured hands from his mouth for several months, there is good chance that the gesture will eventu- ally lose its grip for good.
 Investigate Worries
 It pays to look into possible wor- ries. Maybe the boy or girl is afraid of somtbody. It might be anyone from a bluff parent to a restrictive teacher. 1t might be neighborhood situation. Maybe there is no better reason than lack of assurance in himself. The other children at home may poster this child. Again he may be at eternal odds with his sur- roundings. He may be too emotional.
 As with other undesirable hab- its, shaining the child won't help. He recedes farther into himself and finds little use in trying. Punish- ment may scare him into renem- bering, but I doubt it. The best thing can advise is to try, and keep on trying, to break the habit and when you succeed no one will be as proud of victory as the child himself.

(dilation or ballooning of bronchD and emphysema (ballooning of air. cells in lungs).
 Children or adults disturbed by coughing on going to bed will get much relief from dropping in each nostril two or three drops of bland oil Vegetable oil, not mineral oiD containing vitamin D.
 Any means of maintaining a fair degree of humidity in the air, by evaporating water, especially dur ing the season when artificial heat ing is necessary, tends to soothe or rather to prevent undue irrita- ton of the breathing passages and should be used for victims of chronic cough or wheeze.
 In my judgment infant, child or adult with any chronic respiratory trouble should receive an optimal daily ration of vitamin D, and the less the patient is exposed to sun shine the greater his need for vita min D internally. I believe from 5000 to 5000 units daily is an op- timal ration of vitamin D for a child; perhaps an adult requires a little less.
 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 X-Ray for Enlarged Tonsils
 From experience with two chil- dren I believe X-ray treatment preferably to diathermy for en- larged tonsils. One received about eight X-ray treatments, without any discomfort, and no trouble since. The other had diathermy treatment, which proved satisfac- tory in the end, yet entailed more than a dozen visits to the doctors office and some sore throat after the first few treatments.

Glorifing Yourself
By Alicia Hart

Soap and water are the best friends of the girl whose skin is ex- cessively oily. She should wash her face. at least twice a day, and. be-, tween times, use 8 non-greasy cleaner. She can, if she likes, apply cleansing cream, but she certainly should not use it after or instead of plenty of warm water and soap.
 Also, she ought to buy and use regularly and correctly at least one preparation designed especially to correct oiliness. This may be med icated night cream or morning lotion or a special astringent or a circulation cream. Whatever 1t is, she should get it from the skin spe- cialist to whom her family doctor sends her, then apply it strictly &C., cording to directions.
 Undoubtedly, she'll need some kind of powder base, too. Perhaps a liquid powder lotion or vanish ing cream. Generally speaking, she'll find dry rouge more satisfactory than the cream varieties. And her powder ought to be light-textured one which won't cake easily.
 Hard little Jumps which often form beneath the surface of oily skin ought to be squeezed gently the day they are discovered and. the next day, squeezed again and removed. Otherwise, they may just remain below the surface, making the face look ridged and bumpy. After squeezing, a good antiseptic should be patted on the irritated spots.
 One who is serious about avoid ing further formation of such Jumps certainly will get a great deal of daily exercise and, in addition, use mask or some other circulation stimulant once or twice week. Poor circulation often is the cause of clogged pores.
 If you have the kind of oily skin which isn't too sensitive, you might use a complexion brush instead of a wash cloth. If it is sensitive, con- slider one of the new facial spones,

A WORD OR TWO ABOUT
 DISEASES MANIFEST BY

COUUnS AND WdEELES
 One subject to chronic bronchitis bronchiectasis or emphysema should never forget that a certain amount of coughing is beneficial for two reasons. First, it improves circula- ton in abdomen and thorax; sec ond, it is necessary to aid expecto- ration or drainage from the breath ing passages. It is a serious error, therefore, to take or do anything to check cough, unless under the immediate care of the physician.
 In some cases chronic winter cough attended with wheezirg, small daily doses of iodid or iodin somewhat larger han the dose in the iodin ration are helpful. In all cases of chronic bronchitis, bron- chiectasis or emphysema, as well as bronchial or spasmodic asthma, the patient should have regular iodin ration, in my judgment. The at- tending physician should prescribe the iodid or iodin If more than the amount in the iodin ration is to be taken.
 The real trouble in some cases purporting to be chronic bronchitis or recurring winter cough is neg lected chronic sinusitis. Some as- tonishing cures are obtained by the discovery of underlying sinus infection and its drainage.
 Two or three drops of purified oil of turpentine (not the crude spirits of turpentine intended for industrial use), on a little sugar or in capsule, twice daily, after food, is an old and useful remedy in many cases of chronic cough. The turpentine derivative called terri hydrate is perhaps easier to take I do not know whether it is as efficient medicinally--may be taken instead, in dose of two or three grains in capsule or tablet, after food, for many months
 Tn any chronic cough with ex- pectoration the patient should as- sume an inverted position for five minutes every morning. Line prone across bed with your forearms resting on the floor. This is es- pecially helpful in bronchiectasis
