LOS ANGELES, Dec. 8 (N.AN.A9.
The smoke of football war is drift
ing today in the direction Of three
widely-scattered cities-Los Angeles,
Knoxville and Milwaukee where the
impending action will write three
decisive stories.
On the far Western front tomor-
row, Southern California's Trojans
tangle up with U. G. L. A., which,
translated for the Nation at large
means University Of California, Los
Angeles branch. The winner here
moves into the Rose Bowl on New
Years Day.
In the South, Tennessee faces
Auburn in defense Of an united, un-
beaten and unscored-on record of
football perfection up to this point.
On Sunday in Milwaukee the
Green Bay Packers and the New
York Giants decide the professional
championship of footballs world-a
world series packed into one COL
ision of might, muscle and skill.
This is the triple setting that en-
cages the attention of an entire
country before the bowl rash breaks
out some three weeks away.
Monpower Appears Likely
To Put Trojons Across.
On the college side, the contest
at Los Angeles carries the major
Interest since these two hometown
teams look to be more evenly
matched than Tennessee and Au-
burn. The winner here will be the
Rose Bowl pick for the Pacific Coast.
In case Of a tie. Southern California
will get the call. since U. G. L. A.
has been tied twice In her Confer
ence against single draw for the
Trojans.
U. C.L. A. carries plenty of poison
with her Kenny Washington. bril-
liant back; Robinson, Strobe and
others who always are dangerous.
But Southern California has the
stronger line, the stouter reserves
and a pretty fair backfield of her
own with Peoples. Hoffman, Lans-
dell and others who also can move
around.
Those supporting U. G. L. A. fig
ure that Southern California may
be on the stale side after long,
hard schedule and the pressure
placed on her by Notre Dame and
Washington down the stretch.
Southern California is in a dan
gerous spot. But I believe the Tro-
JAMS have too much reserve strength
and should just about get by.
Tennessee One Of Best
Defensive Teoms Ever.
Any unbeaten, united team always
Is a shining target in its final game.
Death and football like a shining
mark Tennessee has slipped
through at least IA consecutive
games without being scored on. This
Is a remarkable record in modern
football.
In my opinion, Tennessee has one
Of the greatest defensive teams I've
ever seen-anywher or any time.
And 1t is no part Of thistledown
on attack, especially when Cafego
Is on the job. A great back-in
good shape.
Auburn is a long shot here. but
these final football games can be
peculiar affairs-since there are,
after all, no supermen in this cock
eyed universe.
You'll seldom see a greater line
than the Volunteer forward wall,
with Molinski, suffrdge, Shires and
all the others tackling the ball car

The lacquered wench-who must
be nameless, libel laws being what
they are-is the one who, seeing Miss
Cornell on one Of her tours to the
coast, remarked:
She can act, all right, I guess,
but-what a camera would do to

What a camera would do to that
face undoubtedly would be to show
it to be as beautiful as a person with
Miss Cornell's great talent for act
ing can make it seem. It is the kind
of beauty that comes from within,
not from Max Factors.

Director Leo McCarey from storm
ing the Cornell citadel again.
Miss Cornells aloofness is not to
be construed as a sign of hauteur
toward the cinema. On the con-
trary. she is the kind of fan who
would delight the heart of Garter
Barron, John Payette, Hardie
Meakin, ct al. She just loves the
movies, with a simple, undemanding
affection.
However, seeing them and making
them are entirely different consid-
erations with her. She simply does
not fancy herself as a cinema ac-
tress, and her attitude remains un-
modified in spite of her admiration
for the progress the art has made
In recent years.
If anyone might cajole her into
acceptance of a Hollywood engage
ment. Mr.. McCarey could easily be
the man. AS director, he has DEM
onstrated himself to be quite as
much of an artist in his way as Miss

nell as one genius to another, the

language in which commercial
idioms would be conspicuous by
their absence.
1t is not disclosed by this depart
ment's elaborate Hollywood espion-
age service just what Mr.. McCarey
has in mind as cinema chore for
Miss Cornell. In view of the fact
that Miss Cornell in the past few
months has been showing she can
do comedy as superlatively as those
older, heavier parts, it might be
something along that line. Mr.. Nc
Carey is whiz at that sort of thing
himself. He has an Oscar academy

prove it.

A FAMOUS RESCUE

One of the most dramatic episodes OF
the old frontier was recalled recently by
the death of Mrs. Sarah Brooks at Concor-
dia, Kan. For she was one of two Kansas
girls kidnapped by Cheyenne Indians in
1868, and rescued nearly two years later.
When Mrs Brooks, then Miss Sarah
White, was 10 years old when she and
companion, Mrs. James Morgan, who was
about the same age, were captured and
carried into the old Indian Territory.
General George A. Custer with his
Seventh Cavalry set out to rescue the cap
tives and found the Indians camp on the
Washita river, but the redskins had moved
on, and they eluded their pursuers for
months.
Feeling against the Indians ran high
in Kansas, and Governor Crawford OBJ
tanned authority from the government to
raise regiment of volunteer cavalry. He
resigned as governor to become colonel of
the regiment, and joined Custer in the
campaign.
Finally the Cheyennes were sur
rounded and Custer took some chiefs as
prisoners, holding them as hostages until
the girls were safely returned. They APP
rerently suffered no permanent injury
from their narrowing experience, as Mrs.
Brooks lived to the age of 80.

never pictured his followers as

wealth or exceeding pleasure,
for these were physical and ma

REVOLUTIONARY IDEA
I'm GEKELER'S SERMON

The morning message at the
First Presbyterian Church, "The
Southernmost Church in the
United States. deals with a
question asked by Jesus. why
Art Thou Fearful?" DR.. Gekeler
will say, "The entrance of fear
into human experience is a re-
suit of sin. Jesus became man
in order to remove fear by TAX
ing away its cause. Music low
ers are assured treat in Mrs.
Gekeler's solo taken from the
Messiah. the aria % Thou That
Tellest Good Tidings".
In his evening sermon DR..
Gekeler concludes the Book Ser
mons dealing with E. Tallmadge
Roots ''The Bible Economy of
Plenty. Jesus will be presented
as no wild eyed theorist, but as
one speaking out of an expert
ence of hard facts, and from a
keen understanding of human
conditions. It will be shown
wherein Jesus conception of The
Good Life differs from that now
current.

A PROMISE KEPT

In appealing for votes some of the
members of City Council promised a bust
nesslike administration if elected They
were elected. Councilmen started out by
adopting a businesslike budget. Some
salaries were reduced, many small items
of expense were eliminated. Still the
figures in the budget did not balance. It
was obvious that 100 per cent of taxes
levied would not be collected; it was
obvious that even the city employees whose
salaries had been slashed could not be
paid in full unless vital public services
were curtailed.
About the time these facts became
evident, city council ordered one-quarter
of a month salary paid employees from
funds then available. In the routine pre-
vailing these many years around city hall,
the checks of the city councilmen called
for their salaries in full. While others
were getting one-quarter of a month,
councilmen were handed checks calling
for full payment of their salaries Up to
date
This struck other city employees and
some members of City Council as an un-
fair arrangement. Councilmen felt en-
barassed and soon began feeling the re-
action of the curbstone' critics. Thursday
night several members of City Council de-
cided to do something to justify them
selves in the eyes Of the public. They
realized old bills had to be taken up, new
obligations had to be met, salaries had to
be paid and stiff debt service payments
had to be made. Yet there was no money
to do these things, unless the taxpayers
loosened up and setted their accounts.
More money was needed.
The upshot of this line of thinking
was the adoption of motion Thursday
night calling upon city councilmen and the
mayor voluntarily to defer claiming their
salary checks at least until January, 1941
about 13 months from this date. City
charter calls for the annual payment of
$500 to each councilman and $1,000 to the
mayor. Ff7
If these officials do not claim their
paw checks for the next year or so the city
treasury will have an additional sum of
little over $4,000 with which to meet cur
rent bills and old debts. Eventually the
salaries of these officials would have to be
paid. Deferring payment does not mean
they will not be paid. The point is that
the officials involved, provided they OBJ
serve the terms of the motion, are willing
to make a sacrifice for the general well
fare.
This establishes a precedent in Key
West municipal affairs. So far as can be
learned this is the first time set of Key
West councilmen ever showed a willing
ness to forget their own selfish interests
for the greater good of the majority.
Everyone of the present council has out
side income, hence can afford to make
sacrifice. councilman in need of his pay
can draw it and no one is likely to regard
that as anything but necessary act.
Again The Citizen wishes to express
its appreciation to this City Council for
step that is bound to inspire the confidence
of the general public in the honesty OF
purpose of our new city fathers.
