NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-It begins to

large hunk of trouble this week end.

Coach Sleepy Jim Crowley's rapidly
improving Rams. Everybody, that
is, save the 2l7 members of the
California special which arrived this
morning.
Big Task for Lions.
ST. Mary's record is not impressive
this season, and with Ed Heffernan
injured and able to play but spas

OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. 16.-
Any one still so naive as to re-
gard football as sport and not
disease needs only to attend one
of the weekly sessions of The
Downtown Quarterbacks' Club of
this city to learn his error.
There are minor limitations in
other cities, but this one is the
papa of them all. There were $50
members at the latest meeting,
probably a third of them women,
and they went at their quarter
backing seriously for three solid
hours, starting at the unholy
hour of 10:30 am.
The club, originated by Sports
Editor Bus Ham of the Daily
Oklahoman, was so modest at
first that the charter members
met in one restaurant and then
another to discuss the gridiron
situation. Now it has been
thrown open to the general pub

Frankly and with no pretense
whatsoever the quarterbacks are
football nuts and the University
Of Oklahoma the object of their
whole affection. Each week they
put Coach Tom Stidham squarely
on the spot, and some of the
questions he answers are a cau-
ton, nor does he attempt to
sidestep.

price of hasty meal, each MEM

of his pet running play to the

them the lowdown.

the boys are left to use their own
best judgment.
The climax of each session
comes with the showing in slow
motion of the Sooners' most re-
cent game. A commentator, as
frank as Stidham. explains each
play carefully from beginning to
end, and even helps his audience
of signal-callers in criticising
some of the Sooners' tactics. He
had considerable trouble explain

passed on first down against Kan

quieted the boys and girls.

No Standing AS Decent Nation

Seldom, has history recorded an act of cruel
tv comparable to that of Russia's attack on
Finland one of the finest small countries in the
world with its progressive peace loving citizens.
1t seems any more that small European countries
are not safe. Nothing Russia could do would
stir the wrath of America than the attack
on Finland-the only European country that has
not defaulted on it's World debt to the
United States While Finland has made gal
lant stand against Russia she cannot hope to win
against country of the size and war strength of
Russia. However, Finland is putting up game
fight for her existence, and while America does
not want to get mixed up in the European af-
fairs, are hoping that there might be some
way of advancing her credit or assisting in some
manner. 1t had been thought that because of the
immense size of Russia, Stain would not go on a
bloody, small nation grabbing spree like Hitler
has DONE but in that the world has been mistak-
Ell, and where or when it will stop, no one
knows.
President Roosevelt lost no time in express
ing his indignation at Russia's recent act, and has
invoked the moral Embargo on the sale oi
planes to that country. Perhaps it is best tha,
America does not act too hastily, but it WOULD
seem that diplomatic relations should be severed
with such country, a country that has no stand
