It has been long time since any one team did
so much to aid the prestige of Eastern football
Cornell did Last Saturday, and I who
glad to see 1T. Spotting the Ohio State Buckeyes
those two touchdons and then forging ahead to win
by points, is feat that seldom happens in the
number one game of the day. Although I picked the
Buckeyes to win, 7 glad to Cornell the
victor, it put the hbosh on Big Ten supremacy.
at Least for this campaign.
The big games the schedule for this week
end pit fair Army team against undefeated
Notre Dame eleven, and although anything is apt to
happen in game Like this, it looks like another
victory for the fighting Irish. good Harvard team
takes the field against Princeton, which tuned up
with a win over Brown Last weekend, and my guess
is that the Tiger Will again. In the South the
big game IS theTemessee Louisiana State affair,
but think Tennessee has too much power for L.S.U,
and defeat for the team that beat Vanderbilt Last
week Is imminent. In the Midwest, the Ohio State
eleven face Indiana, another Big Ten powerhouse,
while the Gophers Of Minnesota take the field
against strong Northwestern team in another con-
ference game. On the Pacific Coast, title con-
tender viii be eliminated when the tied Southern
California Bears play the udefeated, united Oregon
State Beavers. Both Of these teams looking for
ward to that Bowl invite, and swell contest it
should be.
With eleven winners Last week added to the
previous week, my average jumped to 72O, or ID
out OF IS. Not bad, when take squirt at some Of

SETTLING THE RACE QUESTION

Race questions that cause friction
throughout the world are seldom satisfac-
torily solved until the peoples in the re-
gions affected manage to evolve work
able program between themselves.
This observation applies to the dis
pute between the Arabs and the Jews in
Palestine, where Great Britain has been
trying to get an agreement through con-
ference.
It also applies to the japanese ques-
ton on the Pacific coast, the Mexican
question in the southwest, the Negrosques-
ton in the South and elsewhere and the
various areas where large groups of for
eign-born make up a considerable minor
ity.
I'm no instance can a settlement be Ell
fected permanently, without disturbances,
by pressure from outside areas. Where
different races live in the same sections
or communities. they must manage to
reach an acceptable solution of the prob
lem that presents itself to the members of
both groups.

An ODE TO KEY WEST

sssseessssssseesses
Let's sing a song of the Florida
Keys,
While sisters up North wear
woolens and freeze.
We've heard songs and songs of
the ocean blue,
All of which we agree is true.
But no place is Heaven while
still on earth,
We accept the "joy-kills" and
laugh with mirth.
There are several of these in old
KeyPWest-
We take them graciously with
the best.
Hundreds of cocks, both big and
small
Their crows are familiar, we
know them all.
Dogs, too. in wild profusion
Add their bit to the nights con-
fusion.
Cats galore hold midnight rallies
In ours, as well as the neighbor's
alleys.
These nocturnal entertainers are
always ION the spot;
They never fail should say
not!
Of course, we catch snatches of
sleep between,
To deny that, would surely be
mean.
We came to the South for a per-
feet rest,
Despite it alive love Key West.

Not single newspaper published in
the state of Florida distributes as much as
a per cent of its circulation outside of this
state, yet it is arbitrarily characterized by
the government as intra-state business
AS the Interpretation of the law stands
now, if newspaper has just one sub
scriber outside of the state, it becomes
subject to the Wage and Hour Law. APP
parently no justice in that, and particularly
onerous on the smaller publications which
struggle for existence from day to day, and
what is worse they are compelled to re-
duce the number of their employees, thus
further adding to the list of the unem-
ployed. Others, in their extremity, simply
give up the ghost. In Florida the Murphy
Act is the shot in the arm that temporarily
is sustaining the struggling little news
papers.
