Cumberland S quarterback that Gay
has since been identifit as George +.
Allen. who lately resigned as Cominls-
sloner Of the District of Columbia.
Mr.. Allen is quite proud of his part IN
the highest scoring college game on
record. He takes the happy view that
he helped write history that day.
Once during the game a Tech man
somehow fumbed, and a Cumberland
lineman, crawling near by, SHE'D away
and let the ball bound by him.
Whats the natter" asked the
Tech back. why didn't you fail on
the ball?'
The Cumberland hero-that-might-
have-been shot a glance at three Tech
bruisers piled on the ball and shud-
dered.

You dropped it, didn't you?"
Like Cumberland, Hobart College

from Nov. "a, 1928, until Nov. 2l,
1881, and became indignant when
Knox College Qll) claimed it had tied
the record, in 1894, contesting old
Siwash's claim to the BOBBY prize on
the grounds that it had held an oppo-
nent to a tie during its streak.
And you can't beat the attitude
adopted by the tolerant students of
George Washington University (D.C)
during the days when defeat after
defeat tumbled down on their fair
school. George Washington has VIC
tory march that goes like this:
Hail TO the Buff, Hail to the Blue,
Halt to G. W. U.,
See our men 90 round their end,
Fighting for G. ". U.
Well, the gay G. w. U. students used
to sing it in this happy fashion:
Hail to the Bluff, Hail to the Boo,
Hail to G. ". U.,
See THEIR me,, 90 round OUR END,
Sighting old C. ". u.
When you can play the game to such
a tune you've really got nothing to
lose - even though you haven't any,
thing to win.

defeated and united teams in this
cleat-torn country But other elevens
have come along TO challenge its old
time record Last season there we're
forty-two college teams that didn't
win a game. And seven of them failed
to tally a solitary point. When all the
records are in you'll probably find
there we're just as many this year.
Presbyterian College at Clinton,
S. c., lost its ten games last year by
such generous margins as 64-O. $50.
400, and so on Washburn College of
Topeka, Kansas, and the University
of Cincinnati also lost ten games.
Norwich tVt) was tramp4ed 1916.
1910, and 5l-O on three Sad Sat
urdays, and Oakland City College

ents rolled up 332 points.
But, even more startling than these
stark statistics Csofstalemated stalwarts,
is the fact that these colleges. each and
every one, asked for more. Each had
a football team again this season and
each had its victory march IA bit dusty
and its college cheers Ia bit rusty).
Football to them is just what it is
supposed to be "a game. and it
doesn't matter whether you win or
lose but how you play the game. They
get more fun out of their Saturday
afternoons than the greats of the
gridiIon.
OF course, not always do the boys
find slaughter so gay matter. Some
times they take a cruel physical beat
ing. For instance, that brave little
band of cleated and clouted warriors
from Norwich who were so decimated
by the drubbing dealt them by Dart
mouth two years ago that they had to
cancel their game with Boston Univer-
sity the following week because too
many players were bedridden in the
town hospital They smelled Of lini-
ment and iodine the rest of the season.
And yet, on the other hand, no
Cumberland University (Tenn.) player
suffered dire physical hurts that 1917
afternoon when Georgia Tech crushed
the boys 222-O in game that was
shortened to as minutes. probably at

DR a week football fans and ex-
perts have been selecting their
mythical all-Amcricant teams. their
national and sectional champions.
But where there is hero, there
must be a goat. And where there are
Rose Bowl nominations for some
teams, there are just thorns for Others,
Footballs scoreleSs wonders are for
gotten when the last whistle has
blown, but some of their exploits are
more intriguing, more downright COL
orful, than the stories you hear about
the teams that win the games - and
the fame.
1t was first down for Alfred College
on Buffalo's two-yard line in the last
quarter of the last game of the season.
Now, that may not sound significant
to you, but when you consider that
Alfred's gallant young warriors had
gone scoreless throughout the bruising
season you can appreciate the excite
ment that shivered through the stands.
First down and an Alfred touch
down was just two scant yards distant.
But it was not to be- Four times
Alfred's men came charging from their
huddle and up to the line of scrim-
mage; four times an Alfred back flung
himself into the fray; and four times
he was flung back like driftwood in the
surf. Buffalo took the ball on downs.
But did Alfred's gallant warriors bow
their heads and weep with chagrln and

of danger and, a few seconds later. the
referees gun ended the struggle, 90.
Yes, Alfred warriors seemed almost
happy that they had managed to sur
vive the 1927 season without winning
a game and without scoring point.
Several spectators swear that the
Alfred men swarmed about their ball
carrier after his fourth futile thrust at
the line. pattcd him on his back. and
said. "Attaboy. Tom. we knew you

Sively civic project.
The purpose of the Art Center

aside from the graphic and plas-
tic arts it welcomes groups inter-
ested in music, photography, hob

JACKSONVILLE, July s.
Progress made by the State Wei

state welfare commissioner.
The period covered is for the
year beginning July l, 1887, at
which time the Board was induct-
cd into office, through June Of
this year. During that period Old
Age Assistance grants increased
from a total of 1888 cases re-
ceiving $l25, 24O.74 to 29,469 cases
receiving $428,795Oo The aver
age, grapt, was S1i.513 on July |,
1881, spd $l455 for June, 1898.
sThe AID to- the Blind program
did not ger dndef way until Janu-
airy. with only ~ checks issued
for the ptti04rth!l Daring June l.
4Z6 checks we're issued for total
of S2I,0I9.00. The average grant
for June was Sl4.74.
Monroe County was receiving
1858. so in Old Age Assistance
in July, 1897, with l0l recipients
enrolled, and in June. 1888, was
receiving $7,6920O distributed
among 470 recipients. The aver
age grant for July of last year
was Sl2,56, and for June of this
year was $l6.37.
Half of the money paid out in
Old Age Assistance in the county
prior to July, 1887, came from
county Golfers. None of the funds
received since June of 1887 have
come from the county treasury,

for those in need of direct relief.
Although only four counties
benefited from Aid to the Blind
in January of this year, all of
them were profiting from this
form of assistance in June. In
Monroe County IS persons re-
ceived $4,000 during June.
The Aid to Dependent Children
plan is now before the Social
Security Board at Washington
and upon its approval the state
will begin diSburSing this form of
assistance at the rate of 100000
