After Johnny Samuel had
blocked Mountains punt, there
was a scramble for the ball. Stella
worked through the Princeton line
and blocked out Jack Daniel while
Jack Little fell on the ball.
LOT OF TACKLE PLAY
Studying the charts of the
Princeton game, you see record
of a lot of tackle play. Strong de-
tense and a powerful attack. It
is the kind of tackle play that will
put lot of pressure on the Mid
shipmen from start to finish.
Army had not finished expert
menting with personnel up to the
Princeton game. Bill Wood has
been shifting Sullivan from end to-
the blocking backs post. But Sui
Ivan still catches forward passes.
He caught one from Long against
the Tigers, and that Led indirectly
to touchdown. Sullivan caught
touchdown pass from Long, a.
left-handed paSSer. against Notre
Dame. The probabilities are that
Sullivan will play end Saturday.
FINE PAIR OF ENDS
Army however, may we'll afford
to assign Sullivan to that i'm
portant post of blocking back.
With Jack Dobson and John
Samuel, West Point has a fine
pair of flank guardians. Dobson,
a capable back, has played end for
Army all season to guard against
a leg injury.
Studying figures in games
against common rivals gives little
of real value on the relative
merits Of the service teams. In
the first place, you can throw
form out of the window for this
game. Navy will play better foot
ball than it knows how to play,
and the same is true of Army.
Columbia beat Army and bowed
to Navy. Notre Dame beat Army
by a bigger score than it beat
Navy. But Princeton tied Navy,
and was a soft touch for Army.
The statistics in the Army
Princeton and the Navy-Princeton
indicate a wide advantage for
West Point. However, Nays
ground attack is potent, and the
Blue and Gold is primed and
ready for one of its best games.

agriculture

One feature of the 1888 farm bill
calls for u. S. loans on crops af-
fected by falling prices. When crops
are sold, loans must be repaid. Due
November ! were repayments on
loans covering 100000 bushels of
corn. But by mid October, with corn
selling on the farm from 33 to 38
cents, and at market for A cents,
Disguised farmers saw they would
be money ahead to default on loans
and give Uncle Sam their corn.
Thus, overnight, the U. S. govern
ment became the worlds largest
corn broker.
This is but one phase of Chinese
puzzle known as the American farm
problem. Since 1888 it has been the
personal headache of Iowa's Henry
A. Wallace, secretary of agricul-
ture, who can remember the halcyon
days when all surplus wheat and
cotton-the two basic crops-were

useful purpose, are captured by

which no accounting ever is made.
And tragic, also, are the stories Of
how the real leaders laughed at the
suckers who gave hard-earned mon
ey, laughed in the secret recesses of
their hideouts about the soft and
easy minds of Americans.
But another session of congress
is coming. The Dies committee will
make report and probably will
ask an appropriation to enable it to
go on. We will see who opposes
that appropriation. There probably
will be opposition from two or three
members of the committee itself,

know why.

the point where attention should be

some alleged German spies who
were seeking American military Sc

that hides various other kinds of
spies whose work, to my mind, is
much more dangerous to American
national life?

c. /. o. Being Used as Tool
For Destructive PURPOSES

There will be much more labor
trouble. You can count on that.
The Communist party representa-
tlves will never allow the slightest
chance for creating trouble to es-
cape them. They are determined to
convince labor that it cannot trust
the homogeneous; they are en-
couraging the breaking of agree
ments between labor and manage
ment to the end that employers will
have no faith in the leaders of labor,
and they are using the national la
Dor relations board wherever that
can be done to give official voice to
labor troubles. That fact is chiefly
responsible for the position which
the c. I. o. group has taken in op-
position to proposals for revision of
the labor relations act. William
Green and the American Federation
OF Labor are urging revision of the
law, but c. I. O., having its tenta-
cles in the labor board, obviously
does not want its grip broken.
1t has been known for long time
that the c. /. O. was being used as
a tool for destructive purposes, but
the agitators and emissaries were
sly and careful. They covered their
tracks. Such information as leaked
out was promptly discredited by the
very reds who had done the job
and they discredited any individual
who repeated the story by laughing
at his gullibility.
However, there is one instance
which cannot be denied. The clerks
in the rural identification admins
tration organized a union and afili-
ated with c. I. o. 1t was to have
social as well as fraternal aspects.
There was dance scheduled. Ne
gro workers attended and insisted
on inter-racial participation in ev-
erything that was done. They said
they were told to do so by repre-
sentatives of c. 1. o. After the
