Fair Looms AS
Big Success

With less than three weeks re-
naming before the opening of the
sixth annual Duval County Fair
Exposition, November 18th to 18th,
work is rapidly progressing at the
old Brentwood fair grounds site
repairing and charging to make
ready for the ten day festival.
The fair officials have launched
their promotional campaign to
bring record crowds to the grounds
from north Florida and South
Georgia. So great has been the
response from prospective exhib-
itors that the fair management
is now considering the enlarge
ment of facilities to take care of
the enormous increase in agricul-
tural, industrial and live stock
exhibits.

Jews In Sports
BY MORRIS WIENER
NEW JEWISH HEROES
ON GRIDIRON

| ON GkN1U1NON
They're manning the weeps at
Columbia University since Sid
Luckman left the old homestead
and what is true on MOrningside
Heights is true of many another
campus where a Jewish football
star kept romping across the goal
line and rolling up the score.
However, don't be misled. The
only collegiate brethren who are
shedding genuine tears for such
departed. heroes as the black
haired kid named above and 9TH
ers like Goldberg of Pitt and (let's
pick a couple of names from a
hat) Kaplanoff of Ohio State,
Aronson of st. Mary's, Monsky of
Alabama, Hessberg Of Yale, Weiss
of Michigan, Glickman of SYRIA
cuse, Roth Of Cornell, Friedman of
Rice or Zimmerman of Centen-
nary, are the coaches of the col
lege elevens where these young
sters cavorted during the past
three years and the fraternity
brothers of the kids just mention
ed.
All Others, including the sport
writer's always a tickle fOlk), are
crying for their heroes of yester-
year with tears of the crocodile
genus. And, we're no exception,
already forgetting the exploits of
the Hebrew Hill-Billy for the
mighty deeds of the new terror of
the Raritan-Art GOttlieb, out
standing backfield ace on the Rut-
gers eleven and the iron man of
the 1888 Princeton clash when the
Scarlet banner was draped over
the Nassau Tiger.
Gottlieb is but one Of the many
Jewish gridiron gladiators who
have been streaking across the
football stadia, the pigskin tucked
securely under their arms, and
when last reported were heading
for the goalposts and the head
lines in the Sunday sport pages.
By the way, Gottlieb, a Phi
Epsilon Pi frater, is third-year
man on the New Brunswick eleven
and gives every indication of be-
coming another Jack Grossman

has been inundated by the pub
Usher incidentally, Phi Epper
tOO) of an AnglO-Jewish weekly
who threatened to flay him unless
he gave credit to the p. e. p.
lads.)
And so, with Gottlieb leading
the parade of the 1889 Jewish
stars, we find dozens of others
who may, ten years from now, be
remembered as the Barney Mintz,
the Benny LON, the Izzy Vein
stock, the Dave Smuckler, or the
Fred Sington of the current cam
paign. (These lads by the way,
for some of you who may nave
been a tender age when these
stars were shining, were ALL
America ball players from 1928
through 1884.
AS a matter of fact our scouts
have clOgged the mails with names
of Jewish football players who
have dOnned their cIeatS and MOLE
skins for better or worse and for
the glory of the college and the
old frat house. Items, at once
interesting and intriguing, keep
pouring in and among such choice
mOrSels we find:
Fred Levy, a substitute tackle

the Danes and the Swedes of Min

Hydrotherapy, or treatment bv

ber. 1887.
All deliveries of wheat, rye and
soy beans and December oats were
swept into new highs for the season

ment developed in the grain market.
Dollar wheat was reached at the
outset and the market later devel-
oped greater strength as rye forged
ahead to score gains of as much as
6ls cents, with December at 691s
cents bushel.
Large-scale buying by professional
traders lifted wheat prices at the
close to their best levels of the ses-
sion, May contracts advancing to 81

Stock Averages

Associated Press Financial Writer.


NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-Rallying
power came back to the stock mar
ket with a rush today and favored
issues went ahead fractions to
around points.
Volume increased on the boost and
transfers approximated 10000
shares, compared with 612,150 in
yesterdays listless dealings.
The broad strength accompanied
another wide advance in the specu-
lative commodities and was overdue,
some analysts said, in view Of the
usual rule that stocks follow staples
fairly closely.
Prices we're higher at the begin
ming of the session and except for
a few intervals climbed throughout.
Steels and motors were most in de-
mand, but rails, aircrafts and some
specialties were not neglected in the
hurry to buy. The only weak spot
was among the oils, depressed by
another reported increase in gaso-
line supplies.
In the van of the rise were United
States Steel, Bethlehem, Chrysler,
Douglas Aircraft, United Aircraft,
Pennsylvania Railroad, Great
Northern. Western Union, Du Pont,
Union Carbide, Allied Chemical,
Eastman Kodak, Montgomery Ward,
United States Rubber, American
Smelling, Westinghouse Electric.
Celanese, Industrial Rayon and
United States Gypsum.
American Telephone touched a
new high for the year as renewed
interest appeared in the utilities.
Brokers said the stimulus for the
move was probably largely in the
booming commodity markets. Tax
adjustment selling was noticed, but
was easily absorbed
In the curb Jones g. Laughlin,
Montgomery Ward "A" and Pitts
burgh & Lake Erie mounted.
In late transactions cotton was
s120 to s1.65 a bale higher for the
best price since 1887. At Chicago
wheat. above 81 for the first time
since october, two years ago, gained
37s to As bushel and corn Is to
212 cents.
Other commodities hoisted were
silk, which touched nine-year
high; rubber. hides. rye, sugar, cot
tonseed oil and soy beans.
Bonds improved a little. Foreign
markets were irregular most of the
day, but steadied toward the finish.
