O'BRIEN, 7. C. U,
TOPS BAUGH'S
PASSING MARK

FORT WORTH, Tex, Nov. 20
G.N.S0 .-Davey O'Brien, of Texas
Christian University who was
awarded the Heisman Memorial
and Maxwell Club trophies as the
outstanding football player of the
United States, made record for
passing this year that eclipsed
even that of the famous Sammy
Baugh.
In 10 games this year O'Brien
attempted 1877 passes and COM
pleted SO for gains totalling 1909
yards and a total of 10 touch
downs. Only four of his passes
were intercepted and 10 were in
completed. In addition to that he
carried the ball 1877 times, gaining
500 yards, an average of 4.3. He
also was active in the return of
puntS and intercepted passes.
When O'Brien was a sophomore
he was overshadowed by Baugh,
also of T. C. u, but he saw lots of
action in games in which Baugh
was the star. After Baugh gradu.
ated, O'Brien was the heart and
soul of the Texas Christian Uni
versity offense. AS a Junior, last
year, he missed only IA minutes Of
play in 10 games.

when the ball was called back.
And rightly so, for the rule on
the play states that ian eligible
player (Carrig) of Team A (Catho-
lie u touches forward pass and
the ball is then caught or touched
by one of the original eligible
players (Miller) of Team A." the
ruling is a loss of a down. the ball
to be put in play at spot of the pre-
ceding down.
PLAYS GREAT BALL
However, If Carrig, of C. u, had
touched the ball on the forward
and the ball in turn had been
touched by a Carolina player and
then caught by Miller, then the
pass would have been legally COM
pleted, and Miller's dash across
the Gamecock goal-line would have
been a touchdown.

Burke Vidnovic closed out a
spectacular three-year varsity

Strife in Ohio.

Reports that Ohio's tobacco strike

Ing to those who prefer orderly
settlement of controversies rather
than the shedding of blood.
For yesterdays display of public
tantrums by both Governor Davey of
Ohio and Chairman Lewis of the

IN anything other than translation
OF their violent speech into violent
action.
At the same time, resumption of
operations at the plant, rather than
constituting victory or defeat for
either side, may be considered ad-
vantageous to both as earnings re-
place unbalanced losses while the
dispute itself goes through the legally
established procedure of considera-
ton by the National Labor Relations
Board.

that were looming in the wake of

Protests Efforts to Keen
Women in Slavery.
To the Editor of The Star.

TO the Editor OF The Star:
A letter blaming women for unemploy-
ment, caused by this man-made depres-
sion and their maladjustment of our
economic system, was signed observer"
He says. Many thousands OF feminine
workers are purposely evading domestic
work by leaving their homes neglected,
or In the care of irresponsible hirelings."
Why in heavens name should not any
intelligent woman "evade domestic work"
when she Is capable of filling a position
as well, and sometimes better than men,
in which she has, regular hours, as men
have, and receives'a regular salary for her
work, as men do? Why should men ex-
pect women to slave at domestic service
long hours and frequently not even re-
ceive the pay Of the most inefficient serv-
ant? 1t is just as unreasonable to ex-
pect women to remain in such slavery as
to expect that men would be willing to
slave long hours for next to nothing in
pay.
Fortunately, some men seem to have
evoluted to the state of intelligence that
would grant women equal rights. Keep
ing women in a state of slavery is quite
as inhuman as black slavery, over which
war was fought. 1t is to be hoped that
this form of slavery will be abolished
through brains rather than bloodshed.

New Deal Affiliation With
Communist Movement Disclosed,

To the Editor of The Star.
Representative Dies of Texas needs no
defense. With fine courage he has con-
Quoted needed and valuable inquiry into
alien interference with the affairs of the
United States. No amount of vilification
will alter the fact that he has disclosed
an intimate connection between the Com
munist movement and the New Deal. If
he has not proved the afaliation, 1t is
because with inadequate resources he
could not follow every lead to the end.
But perhaps a perfect demonstration
is not required. The violence with which
President Roosevelt and such radical
journalists as Paul Anderson have struck
back at Mr.. Dies suggests that he has
accomplished his purpose. They would
not be disturbed if he had failed. At
tempting to smear him, they merely con-
tribute to the growing conviction of the
American people that liberalism" means
Sovietism and that the so-called "abund-
ant life" at which the New Deal is sup
posed to aim is really a collectivist revo-
luton. Those familiar with MARKHAM
literature realize that the fanatical
reformers who are leading the admin
istrations share the wealth crusade have
for their stock in trade the dogmas Of the
class war Is preached by Lenin and
Trotzky and echoed by the parlor pinks
who wish to aboflGh the "hosrgeods de-
