pushover in New York University

it bowed to Ohio State-and Ohio
State lost to Cornell, which just
barely nosed out Colgate. Every
body knows that Colgate had tough
going this season.
Further evidence of New York S
impotency is offered in its record,
which shows it bowed to North
Carolina by a touchdown, and has
won only five games this year. North
Carolina is unbeaten, but was tied
by Tulane. Tulane had a tough
time nosing out which
was lucky to beat George Washing

beaten by Georgetown-soooo, it's
pure logic that N. Y. U. can't pos

But you can't sell Jack Hagerty

nuts to crack in his humble opin-

shout "amen!' Georgetown realizes
it is in for the worst afternoon of
the campaign Saturday at the Polo

NEW YORK. Nov. 13-Apparently
working on the theory that travel
is broadening and that new friend
ships may turn up valuable football
tricks some of Eastern footballs
biggest headliners are going in
search of intersectional honors this
week end.
And the situation for the Eastern
teams is bright. At least the inter-
sectionalists booked to meet the sea-
boards pride have no Paul Christ
mans, as did the invading Missouri
Tigers last Saturday Or, as one
wag said, Bet N. Y. U. is glad that
Christman comes but once a year"
Six Intersectional Tits.
There are six intersectional tussles
scheduled-and all of them look
promising.
For instance, Tom Harmon and
his Michigan mates come East to
give Philadelphia fans in general
and the Penn team in particular-a
view of Big Ten football.
Pittsburgh has a tidy assignment
in stopping Nebraska Cornhusker
team in game so important that
fans all over are scanning train
schedules to the Smoky City.
New York has a triple studded
program, headed by the always-col-
orful st. Mary s-Fordham battle. Co.
lumbia's Lions play hosts to the
Tulane Green Wave, and New York
University plays Georgetown. in a
non-intersectional, but nonetheless
vital struggle.
The other major Gotham team
Manhattan Twill take its clever
ball handlers out to Detroit to show
the Titans what magicians can do
with football
And George Washington goes West
to tangle with Kansas at Lawrence.
Home Feuds Stand Out.
However, the intersectional billings
aren't the only top ones in Eastern
football.
Strictly within their own bailiwick
are such standouts as the Yale
Princeton struggle at New Haven.
the Holy Cross-Carnegie Tech test
at Worcester, the Cornell-Dart-
mouth battle at Hanover, the Army
Penn State stampede at West Point,
the Syracuse-Colgate feud at Syra-
cuse, the Temple-V -Villanova tussle at
Philadelphia and the Boston Col
lege-Boston U. battle at Boston.

He seems to understand that any
one would rather read a good story
than any other kind of print, and
so his pages are richly dotted with
remembered episodes. It is hap
PLY the fact, too, that most of these
are good: there Is point to almost
every tale told and the going be-
tween one tale and the next is never
very long. There are some chapters
of serious critical evaluations, as
in the cases Of William De Morgan
and George Santayana. There are
also some essays on the professors S
own ideas of religion and WHITTIER
the-world. But the overwhelming
impression to be gained from the
volume is Of a man who had q talent
and recognized 1.-THE talent for
people.
Whether DR.. Phelps has been a
great teacher or not, the reviewer
does not know; he was q popular
one, certainly. AS to his greatness
as a critic, it has to be said that, in
his present volume, he quite un-
blushingly lists the merits of Miss
Edna Ferber as q novelist as equal
to those Of Villa Gather. Notwith-
standing, a whole host Of novelists
and yet other litterateurs have liked
him. His life, through his wisdom in
pursuing the gift which nature gave
him, has been extraordinarily rich.
And his account Of that life here Is
entertaining and wen worth the
persual.

This, to the reviewer, was the real

well-known Anglophobe and It
hardly seems possible that he could
have arrayed his dislike more
effectively than by presenting it In
the guise of suggestions that our
future foreign policy be dictated by
a military and commercial pact with
Britain for still greater empire. He
has done this very cleverly and the
tongue in cheek is hardly pereep-

Autobiography With Letters

One is tempted, In describing
this book, to use the word "racy."
The connotation, it should be said,
however, would not be the colloquial
one; the word would be used instead
In its plain meaning Of speed. For
DR.. Phelps, In telling his life story,

also races to considerable length,

PLANTATION is perfectly simple-the
good professor has had a great deal
to say and even to get it into a
long book he has had to hurry con-
siderably.
His story is hardly of himself at
all. He has just been teaching at
Yale! That's all, he seems to say.
For the rest, he has met about
every one of interest on two conti-
nents and, with his genius for
geniality, has won the genuine lk-
ing Of an amazingly assorted range
Of people. This, really, has been
his career, and 50 in writing his
autobiography he has told chiefly

now split between a war party and
peace party, or between those who
see war as an inevitability, and be-
lieve that we should or must enter,
and those who see a possibility of
our country, at least, avoiding armed
conflict. The former group, he says,
includes the President and the lead
ing New Deal figures, the Com
munists, the Anglophiles, the Wall
Street powers, the Carnegie Endow-
ment for International Peace, the
American League for Peace and
Democracy and such assorted indi-
viduals as Haywood Broun, Dorothy
Thompson, Bishop Manning and
Alfred M. Landon. In the peace
party he finds such strange bed
fellows as William Randolph Hearst,
Herbert Hoover, Gen. Smedley But

ways. It will be seen that the in
gen1ous young author has amused
himself considerably in composing
his bright rude book.
The reviewer, though entertained
by Mr.. Howe's paradoxes, is none
theless of the opinion that such
division of the people is arbitrary
and artificial Granted that the
President has made speeches in
favor of our more or less ad libitum
Intervention in other country's
troubles, and assuming that the
leaders of his administration are
behind him, it still seems that Mr..
Howe is straining point when he
asserts that the country could be
easily led into a war. The popular
feeling is so greatly against such
course that no political party could
hope to take it and survive in Office.
Even without Ludlow amendment,
this would seem to be a sufacient
deterrent. Notwithstanding, the

Mr.. Howe agrees with them as to
the dangerous quality of the Presi-
dents proclamations, but lets his
agreement stop there. There is no
alternative in the direction of self
suffciency, he says: the damage has
been done. America now stands
committed to internationally which
he means war-and it has only one
real choice before it. That is to de-
eide what kind of war we mean to
enter and what we mean to fight for.
Like the Boards, he sees our tradi-
tional isolation as having ended
with the Spanish-American War.
Since that conflict, he says, the
whole course Of our Government has
been toward overseas expansion,
with the inevitable entanglements
which follow-and, he says, this, in
the nature of things, will continue.
He then offers his own brightly
cynical solution. When war comes,
he says, it will not be to save de-
mocracy from dictatorship, or to
end the aggressions of the Fascist
powers or for any other theological
reason. It will be IAN old-fashioned

F0mIy
By Hall Roosevelt In Collabo-
ration With Samuel Duff Nc
Coy. New York: Harper &
Bros.
This ingenious book is a series of
adventure stories, each chapter long,
and each having for its hero or her
oine a member of the Roosevelt fam
lily. The first adventure is dated
1913 and the last 1898. Thus the
Presidents people are demonstrated
to have had courageous and inquir-
ing minds from the very beginnings
Of their history in our country, for it
is from America that the successive
tales are drawn.
The adventures take in stories of
exploring alone and unguided among
hostile Indian tribes, of acting as
agent for the company which fnanc-
ed the Pilgrim Fathers, of sea-roving
all over the world, of trading and
mutiny, of resisting religious per-
secution (the heroine in question
here was Anne Hutchinson), of ad-
venture among the mob in the
French revolution and of visiting the
fighting lines in Spain last year. In
every case, as said, the main charac-
ter has been a connection of the
Roosevelt family and throughout the
book the author uses the term "cou-
sin" to designate the relationship.
The stories are all Interestingly pre-
sented and most of them are good on
their own account; certainly they cut
into great many varieties Of Amer
ican life. Their sources are, in the
main, we are told, family letters,
though some of the tales have sim
ply. been handed down. However, the
authors are able to vouch for the
truth of every one.
The reviewer found her favorite in
the collection to be the chapter called
Reward of Merit" which tells how
Capt. Amasa Delano of Duxbury,
Mass, in the course Of voyages ito
the South Pacific in quest of SEALS"
assisted Spanish ship in which the
crew had been overpowered by mu-
| tlnous Negro slaves. There is real
Conradian flavor in this, and one is
glad to know that the captain got
a gold medal from the Spanish King
In recognition for his aid.
Another interesting chapter is the
one which tells how Nicholas Roose-
welt, in 1895, designed and built
steamboat with side wheels. Later
Fulton's Clermont was constructed
on the very model which the young
Roosevelt had designed, says this
