Dropped from Bill of Riots

Now the South has relaxed
like turkey on the plate. 1t ad-
mits that the bill of riots is as
unenforceable as a no sneezlng
sign in a snuff factory.
The Graham Plan has been
dropped from the bill of riots
and the Pop Warner Plan is
on the make.
Starting with the fiscal year.
including legal holidays. the
football player will get two let
tiers, one he can sew on his
chest and the other he can open
and shake.
Assistance will not go quite
80 far as making change in the
huddle.
But it will be concrete, mani
fest and nutritious.
The Southern Conference will
allow each college to handle its
own affairs in its own rough
manly way. The bill of riots
has been repealed.

Records Of Nine
Inning Pitchers

Tabulated are the records OF
National League pitchers ranked
according to the victories and de-
feats in complete games during
the 1898 season. Bill Lee was the
actual leader with 10 victories
and defeat.
The Washington times., 1938-12-20

Naturally that reduces the
amateur ingredient to crumbs.
The Dies committee of dear
old Rutgers will no longer plead
for its chance to disintegrate for
its alma nanny.
The bill of riots takes its
place with the Eighteenth
Amendment, advice to the love
lorn and other unenfOrceable
curriculum.
We congratulate the South
and Pop Warner for being sensi-
BILE enough to know you can't
carry water on both shoulders
without making little waves.
One more question, Pop.

American University's basket
ball team departed early today for
East orange, N. j.. where tonight
it tackles Seton Hall in the first
of a two-day Eastern invasion that
will close tomorrow evening in New

with his full squad of players,
headed by Capt. Emerson Bartlett
and his high scoring ace OF last
season. Hugo Schulze, the former
Western High School luminary.
Victory tonight and again to-
morrow for the invading Eagle
quintet will do much to enhance
future bookings in and around
New York.
If we manage to bag these
two games, maybe American U.

Cassell said hopefully as he en-
trained. That would be q great
thing for us. I think our boys
