Speaking of Sports
Speaking of Sports
Is
Game of Woe,
w all Coaches
BY GEORGE A. BARCLAY

- ESSIMISM time is here. It's
that preseason mourning period
when football coaches pine over the
games they're going to drop and la
ment over the stars they've lost
from last years squad. From the
west to the East and back again it
is tale of woe.
Out on the Pacific coast Stub ALI
son, coach of the University of Cal
lfornla's Golden Bears, will tell you
with considerable justification that
the remnants of last years great
eleven will face stronger opposition
from at least three schools-Stan-
ford, Washington and Southern Cali
fornia
Graduation robbed the team of six
first-string men who were picked on
one or more All-American teams.
Among them were the mighty Sam
Chapman, now outfielding for Con-
ME Mack's Philadelphia Athletics,
his cagy quarterback, John Meek
and inemen Bob Herwig, Ward
Stockton and Claude Evans. But AL
iSOn still has Vic B0ttari at left half
and Dave Anderson at full, as well
as number of new luminarieS who
promise to shine.

"Be strong and of a good
courage"

HpOUGH the progress Of hui
man invention, modes of living
l. have become increasingly lux
urious, and today the average per-
son enjoys many comforts that were
unheard Of a few generations ago.
While being grateful for every pro-
gressive step that lessons drudgery
and reduces hardship, we need to
watch lest the enjoyment of mate
rial comforts renders US unfit to
face difficulties. One need only look
around him at the state of human
affairs in many countries, to realize
that humanity has a great need for
moral courage today.
There Is a vast difference between
genuine courage and a stoicai sub
mission without complaint to wrong
conditions which are believed to be
unavoidable.
True courage or fearlessness be-
longs by right of spiritual inherit
ance to all the children of God. d.
vine Love Is an inexhaustible foun-
tain of good, from which one can
draw an endless supply of courage,
patience, endurance, tolerance, and
tenderness, whenever 1t is necessary
tc use these qualities. The spiritual
strength supplied by omnipotent
Love can be realized and proved in
our daily experience.
In encouraging Joshua and the
children Of Israel, who were soon to
pass over Jordan to take possession
of the land of promise, their great
leader, Moses, said deuteronomy
1850, "Be strong and of a good
courage, fear not, nor be afraid ..
for the Lord thy God, he it is that
doth go with thee; he will not fail
thee, nor forsake thee" How often
we need to be reminded of this spir-
itual fact, when approaching some
new and untried experience, or when
fear and discoura cement try to rob
US Of the fruit of our labors! 1t is
our certainty of divine Loves ever
present ability to protect and guide
which endows us with courage and
spiritual endurance.
But how can such certainty be
gained" asks one, when on every
side there seem to be danger and
discord?" ;. In Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures" Mary
Baker Eddy says Up. 228): There
is no power apart from God. Omnip-

Democratic Club Is Not Connected
 With Natl. Com.
Official Statement Received by Postmaster Vile
 from Farley

The National Democratic Club of America is not connected with the Democratic National Com m ittee. This is according to an official statement received today by Post master Vile from James A. Farley of the Democratic National Com mittee, and which is as follows:
 "I have received numerous in quiries from Democrats throughout the country in relation to an or ganization which has adopted the name of the National Democratic Club of America. So far as I know, this is an individual enterprise, with which the Democratic Ma tional Committee has no connec- ton of any sort or particular interest This statement is issued not in criticism of the proposed establishment, which I am given to understand is being promoted by respectable men, nor with any idea of questioning the motives be- hind the promotion. I really know very little about it, but the in- quiries I have received indicate that some of the people who have been approached on the subject have the mistaken idea that it is something in which the national organization is concerned and l would like to correct that impress SiOn."
