Wall Must Be Gift
From Rich AIumnus.

Its back. they tell me, was against
the wall, though I don't remember
any wall at that point. A gift from
some rich alumnus, no doubt, now
under construction.
Anyway, the ball was on the 15-
yard line. A touchdown for Army
might mean a tie. The danger was
obvious as far off as Rangoon,
where members of the Yale Club
were re-enacting the struggle up
and down the bamboo room from
wireless accounts.
On fourth down, strategy raised its
eruesome head. The young sopho-
more Blue, Bill Bell, decided to save
the day for Yale with an intentional
safety. Twelve yards stretched be-
tween the place where he stood and
his own goal line. Could he make
1t? Could his blockers get around
behind him and pave the way to the
end zone before the Army tacklers
intercepted the lad and swatted him
down like a fly? Who knew?
Bell took the ball from center,
turned on his heel. and began his
reverse charge. Three yards OF
ground flew under his heels. An
Army player suddenly dove for him
and tripped him, but Bell carried

Addition Of II Acres
10 Links Planned
By Columbia
Club Votes on Proposed
Purchase; Re-eIeets Its
Officers Today

Members of the Columbia Country
Club today were balloting on a pro-
posal to add more land to the club
property and at the same time were
scheduled to re-elect the present
officers of the club.
The purchase proposal would add
approximately II acres to the golf
course by acquisition of land ad-
joining the fairWays at the first four
holes. The whole idea is to pro-
tect the club property from real es-
tate invasion such as has occurred
near the fifth fairWay.
Part of the scheme includes
lengthening of the present second
hole by moving the tee back about
rs yards. This change would con-
vert that hole from a comparatively
easy drive and pitch hole to a hole
where the second shot would be a
real problem.
New Greens Chairman Due.
The work will be carried out under
a new green's chairman, for Dan C.
Walser, under whose direction as
chairman the course was provided
with artificial irrigation, has indi-
Gated his wish to resign. He will
be succeeded as head of the Greens
Committee by Dana Belser, a WE'LL
known Columbia golfer and an inti-
mate of Bobby Jones. Dana halls
from Atlanta.
The changes to come in the Co.
lulnbia course will be the first ma jor
moves on that course since the fair
ways were Watercd and involve the
biggest construction changes since
DR.. Walter S. Harlan began rear
ranging the course two decades
ago in preparation for the National
Open championship of 1921.
A new first green may be built
south OF the present green. but this
hasn't been announced. The fourth
tee will be removed to its origina
location southwest of the third
green.
Would Control Entire Course.
AS explained by a former club
officer. the present back tee for the
fourth hole was quilt to prevent a
situation whereby the club golfers
played across property which did not
belong TO the club The land pur-
chase proposal would include buy
ing of this property.
Under Columbia's usual plan of
choosing officers for two successive
terms, Martin r. West and Clyde D
Garrett again will be chosen presi-
dent and vice president. T. Stanley
Holland again will be elected treas
urer, and Arthur B. Shelton, who
long has been club secretary, viii
be reelected to that office.

attack, the Ellis invade Ann Arbor
this week to play Michigan. No
team which can score the inten-
tional safety at will may be dis
counted BY scoring two touch
downs and five intentional safeties,
while bottling up Michigan in Yale's
end zone, the team from New Haven
could win by l3 to 10 or IA to 10
and go home with really sensa-
tional victory to its credit
There is point,.of course, where
the line of distinction between the
intentional safety and the uninten-
tional safety becomes very thin.
Michigan is planning to let Yale
run up several safeties-all unin-
territorial.
This is strictly matter of judg-
ment for young Bell, Yale's reverse
scoring threat. AS he fights his way
toward his own goal line, the ques-
ton will doubtless occur to him.
Who am I scoring for this time?"
And the answer will come back
Well, it's hard to say. If Michi-
gan doesn't watch out, this whole
game is apt to be played in Yale's
end zone.

The fact that Army didn't want

Bell scored for Army were the last

Personally, I think the trials and
heroics of the intentional safety
have been overlooked They ought
to give more than two points for
one of these things. On the other
hand, of course, if they'd given the
eight points Yale deserved, Army
would have won the ball game. You
have to look at both sides of these
matters.

GloriNing Yourself
By Alicia Hart
MA servlce StaR Wrlter


 This is the time to ask yourself quite frankly whether you are mak- ing the most of summer. There aren't SO very many sunshine weeks left, you know.
 For instance, how much sunshine have you been getting anyway? Even though you don't want coat of suntan, you ought to go in for an occasional sun bath. Better to get your vitamin D from the nat- ural rays of the sun righ now than to have to take it from a bottle or a pill box long before the middle of the winter. Vitamin D, of course, makes hair an nails healthy, skin clear, eyes sparkling.
 Then there's the all-important matter of your weight, your muscles. the fundamental character of your skin. Have you been taking some kind of exercise regularly-playing golf or tennis or badminto1, swim ming or riding horseback or taking long, brisk walks? Brush up on an old favorite or learn a new sport now instead of thinking vaguely in terms of a gymnasium next winter. You never did get near gym more than twice last winter, did you2 SKIN TONE COMES
 WITH HEALTHY BODIES Experts agree that one who never takes any exercise of any kind just won't have skin with what they call tone once she is past thirty-five. Skin on the body cannot be smooth and firm, retaining the glowing, alive looking shade and texture of youth, if the muscles underneath 1t are not hard and supple.
 Finally, ask yourself if, so far, the summer has been rather like va- cation even though you have not been on a trip. If not, why not plan the remaining weeks pretty care-- fully? Going to new eating places, seeing new faces or old faces you haven't laid eyes on in months, get- ting more new clothes, trying some new recipes, somehow managing to break the monotony of your day-in- and -day-out routine are just few ways of achieving the results of a vacation while staying right at home.

CIGARETTE AND COCKTAIL VERSUS YITE AND YOUTH


 Early in youth, unfortunately for America, convention imposes upon the growing child the concept that 1t is proper, correct, refined or ''non- chalant" to remain indifferent or impassive until the natural impulse or stimulus to play passes. Desire or eagerness to play, that Is, to engage in some sort of physi- cal activity, game, competition, pas- time in which skill, speed or agility enables one to excel, is normal physiological manifestation of youth. When that impulse or desire passes or declines youth is over.
 Cigarettes and cocktails are the great destroyers of youth today. l am dealing strictly with physiology, health, hygiene, and my observations have no reference to moral or ethi- cal aspects of the subject.
 Of course @ good many morons, individuals with mental capacity no greater than that of 8 normal twelve-year-old child, smoke and drink in youth merely in childish imitation of others; they haven't sufficient character or self-confi- dence to decline an invitation or challenge by some person whom they, in their childish way, consider sophisticated. But these morons are quite as susceptible to good example, good environment, as they are to the other thing. It is well to remember that a large portion of the populal- ton of the country, many of the best parents, the best soldiers, the best citizens, are moron. Too many morons entertain wrong notion of the term; too many people abuse the term.
 Artificial and always injurious re- straint of the natural physiological impulse or inclination to activity be- gin in school, under the ancient martinet discipline still enforced by reactionary pedagogues. Besides re- pressing the growing childs primi- tive, healthful desire to do things, the neurotic schoolmarms, them selves absurdly deficient in physical education, look with i'll concealed contempt upon newfangle efforts to give children 8 fair deal below the neck. These antiquated educators give only lip service to the maxim, 8 sound mind in a sound body. They assume. in their ignorance, that the body may be neglected, only so the youth is adequately instructed in mathematics, English and history.
 Whether we recognize 1t or not, or even dare to mention 1t, there is a powerful and ever encroaching in- fiuence which takes full advantage of the failure of our formal system of public education to seduce the grown youth.
 A normal child enters into the game or plays because he or she feels better when doing something. Physical activity, not mere mental diversion is the natural way to blow of steam," so to speak. Re- press such activity and the impulse readily changes into a desire for cigarette or cocktail.

 Again his wife flares up. "The big ones are all in the wash. These you stop being SO tight and give are all I had tonight. Suppose me enough money to lay in some supplies. am not a magician"

 with rudeness their daily por- tion, they feel a natural awkward ness over trying to be polite. So they carry their rough ways and lack of tact right with them wherever they go. Of what use is reminding and talking, when the very air they breathe lacks courtesy?
 In the Smith family, father and mother make a point of good breed- ing. They ask for things with a "Please" and never forget their Thank you's". They avoid open breaks about annoyances. They re- member to speak pleasantly and normally. And they set such an ex- ample that their children would feel conspicuous acting any other way.
 Tn short, one family is conditioned to good manners and fine rreebing. The other is getting further and fur ther away from them every day.
