Oklahoma Aggies Try

In Creighton Tiff
- the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
DIES MONIES, Iowa, Oct. o.
Oklahoma A. and M, rated as
Tulsa's most dangerous foe for the
1910 Missouri Valley football title,
will try to gain game on the league
leaders this week.
While Tulsa goes outside the con-
ference to play Detroit University
at Detroit, the Aggies will clash
with Creighton at Omaha Satur-
day. Tulsa has won three straight
Valley contests and the Aggies over
vhelmed Washington. the 1899
champion, in their only conference
contest.
In the second conference game
this week Drake will be Wash
burns homecoming opponent at To-
peka.
Like Tulsa, Washington and st.
Louis will be busy with non-con-
ference foes this week. The Bears,
who knocked off Butler, a to 10,
last Saturday, will entertain Gen.
tenary at st. Louis on Saturday and
st. Louis will be host to Wichita Fri
day night.

Scouting Of Tolent
Is Main Trouble.

Teams that have lighter entrance
standards, easier classroom work,
can shoot at the field and get stars
others never could hope to get. I
could name you 20 men who tried
TO get into certain colleges, couldn't
make the grade and then came back
on rival teams to beat those col
ieges.
Is that what you call "a fair field
and no favor?"
The main trouble in college foot
ball today is the scout pursuit and
the offers made to high school and
prep school stars. You might be sur
prised to know how many of these
have told me of the offers they were
made, and I've discovered they usu-
ally accepted the best offer-which
Is none too good for the kid. You
know that.
Here is another angle. The chief
trouble comes from the demand Of
alumni for a winning team and from
the pressure put on coaches to get a
winning team or get fired.
This is not universal. Also you
might remember that a big change
for the better is under way. Some
universities are developing brains.

Skins Wilbur Moore,
Hurt in Lion Game,
Undergoes X-Ray

Wilbur Moore, the Skin ace wing
back in the second and fourth period
backf1eld, was to be X-rayed today
for possible fractured ribs or a torn
cartilage suffered in yesterdays
game at Detroit. Of the two. the
latter would be more serious, keep
ing Moore out of the lineup for
three weeks, while a broken rib
would necessitate his inactivity for
10 days or two weeks.
There were no other serious in

Dick Todd was hurt tackling Lloyd
Cardwell in the fourth period. He

carried off the field, but under the
ministrations of Trainer Doc Mauro

NEW YORK, Oct. 28.-Michigan
stopped Pennsylvania's Frank Rea-
gan last Saturday, but Penn couldn't
stop Michigan's Tommy Harmon.
So today Harmon is farther ahead
than ever in the national football
scoring race.
His one touchdown and two extra
points against the Quakers brought
his seasons total to 81 points-l2
touchdowns, as many conversions
and field goal. Reagan remained
in second place with 81 points, but
his hold on that spot was threatened
by a couple of small college players
who just broke into the list. Thur

Navy Faces Tough Tests.
Nays problem is even more grave.
Pennsylvania dropped from among
the unbeaten when Tom Harmon
and his Michigan Marauders won
a 14-to-0 victory on Saturday. The
Penns are likely to be in a dam
gerous mood this week against Navy.
No team, not even Michigan, figures

Hilltop is talking about playing a
bowl game, but if Georgetown gets
by Syracuse, Boston College and
George Washington there is better
than an even chance the Sugar
Bowl will beckon. AS things stand
now, Cornell hardly is likely to
accept any bowl bid. Notre Danes
attitude is pretty much the same.
If Texas A. and M. remains unbeat-
en- the Aggies figure to 60 to the
Rose Bowl, possibly against STAN
ford. In the South, Tennessee seems
only to have to hurdle Kentucky to
be a bowl flirter. Michigan, or any
other Big Ten team with an invita-
ton, now has the conference blessing

and must be regarded as a posi-
bility.
G. w. Aids Buildup.
George Washington's 19-to-0 VIC
tory over West Virginia did nothing
to disturb the buildup for the G. u
G. w. game on November %. Last
year the Hoyas needed all the breaks
to get a 7-to-0 decision. This sea-
son both teams are stronger. and
while the Colonials have Kansas to
face the week before the Georgetown
game, it must be recalled that G..
US game with Boston College also
precedes this meeting and is the test
for which the Hoyas have been
pointing ever since the season start
ed. Hagerty may have a job on
his hands whipping the Hilltoppers
into both physical and mental con-
dition.
Maryland, a 60 victor last week
over Western Maryland and finally
in possession of triumph, faces
the dreariest prospect of all the local
teams this week. The Terrapins,
whipped by Hampden-Sydney, rout-
ed by Penn and bested by Virginia
and Florida, must face Georgetown
in their annual game. Frank Dob
sons Maryland team of 1887 was the
last to defeat Georgetown-it was
the game In which Bill Guckeyson
ran wild in 1872 triumph-but the
Terps haven't the guns with which
to cope with the Hoyas this season
and the score may be as lop-sided
as the Georgetowns want to make 1t.

made it part of our constitution
more than hundred years ago.
The New Deal Democratic party
inherited from the Republican
party, a nation standing on the
brink of revolution, an outgrowp
social mechanism, with institutions
of welfare and living with
care and the assumption of final
ity, failing to yield their expected
results in human good.
The preceding Republican adj
ministrations had so completely al
lowed the wealth of the nation to
concentrate in the hands of ia
vored few, that begging became
the great art and enterprise of the
day. The farmer begged for sub
sides, the business man begged for
the backing of government credit,
giant corporations begged for re-
lief from competitive restrictions,
labor begged for unionistic monop-
olies, the blind, the crippled, the
unemployed and their dependents
begged for food and sustenance.
President Roosevelt dispersed the
beggars. He placed the responsible
ility for the condition of the coun-
try on the doorstep of the federal
government where it rightfully be-
longed, and Immediately launched

alton; step by step plans have
been laid out and put into
have been laid out and put into
operation; step by step the nation
has climbed from the depths of
despair-the verge of panic to the
place where we now vision fleet
ing glimpse of the radiant sum
light of comparative prosperity.
Federal aid wherever necessary,
pensions for the aged, social Sc
curity, unemployment insurance,
minimum wages, maximum hours,
collective bargaining and the abo-
lition of child labor being only a
few of the methods devised and
applied by the New Deal to rehab-
ilitate the economic structure of
the nation.
For President Roosevelt to yield
to an antiquated tradition and al
low a reactionary party to gain
control of the government and be-
gin the destruction of these social
gains so vital to human welfare
would be tragic. Today with world
conditions as they are abroad,
without considering the necessity
to maintain and perpetuate the
social gains made possible by the
New Deal, it would be sheer mad
ness for an intelligent people to
place the destiny of our country
into incompetent and inexperienced
hands. Vote the straight Demo-
cratic ticket. Save America and
American ideals.
