What 8 sensational reversal of form took place with the Tigers who only the week before took three game whitewashing from the Tanks, but came back strong to take the highly touted Braves into camp 3 straight.
 The fast stepping Yankees slowed down peg, or rather Walloping Art Wooster slipped, and with his not up to standard bowling the Tanks were easy pudding for the lame Pirates.
 The Fearless Red Sox came from behind twice to tack two game loss on the fighting As. Flip Chabot couldn't find the range and Petey Byrnes best night for weeks went for naught.
 The Gas-House Gang namely the Giants went on a spree and came through with victory over the noisy Cubs.
 Al Mango left his bowling arm in cold storage and the result showed Al bowling his lowest score in weeks.
 What A Man Enhorning still com- blaming. If he misses one-pinner it's the fault of Roosevelt or some of his Cabinet officers. The Great Walt forgets that he has passed his heyday and from now on will miss plenty of one-pinners.
 Proper Pals the quietest guy in the league just looked at the Prof. and said, "stick around kid, and my Pirates will show you how to win"
 Handsome Harry Hubert, big time Moose, is still the best plug ger in the league, and he is one guy that can take his breaks with a smile win or loose. Nice sportsman ship Harry.
 Dingles DiNapoli, the all-American Rullback, just can't seem to hit his stride, but when the moon comes over the mountain Eddie will be bat ting 1t out for top honors.
 Peanuts Piazza and Chicken Dem- Aris are telling the boys that they are ready for banner season and the way they are slamming those "Spangles" it's no wonder that their team is lowering the top spot.
 Fancy Foley the big ammunition man from Scovills is still trying to forget that sensational 68 of last year, but somehow the boys just keep reminding him of it. Fix My Ford O'Rielly, the Walnut street warrior, is still the Skipper to all the boys and it is rumored that he is trying to get Buck Tooth Mo Gee and Bill Scuggins down from Sandy Hook to give his boys few lessons.
 Goldfish Colangelo, the noisy one from the wilds of Canajoharie is gtill tops in the leadoh division and the best hard collar ad in the business. Nice going Coddy.
 Fat Foot Coppola, the fancy Dan, is still looking for some action in one-ball to meet expenses. Raf is Dtill the king of the one-ball division.
 Nick Garter German lost clue and his bowling arm. Finder please return to Nev German, care of Grand Alleys, and receive liberal reward.
 Chinaman Divito, the Thin Man, will leave shortly for the West Coast to star in e movie entitled Para ehrtes Were Made For Me"
 Hats off to the juvenile star of the league, Drums Tata, who rolled . nifty a83 to thrill the natives and with . few more breaks would have eFaahed the 4o0s.
 Tlae Old State Champion Jimmy Barber can still show his heels 10 the aFlstoeraey Of bowling because his bowling this year hos been short of sensational, Aeain hi rolled q nioc eoe score to lead the pack.

I94O Cornell varsity compares fa- vorably with such historical giants as:
 The. Yale team of 1910, featur- ing Ted Coy.
 The Cornell juggernaut of 1923, which sported George Pfann.
 Jim Thorpe's Carlisle Indians of 1912.
 Undefeated, united and un- scored on Colgate of 1882.
 Chick Meehan's 1928 N. Y. U. varsity.
 The powerhouses of Jock Suth- erland's later years at Pittsburgh.
 Cornell this season comes closer to being three-deep at every posi- tion than any club in the country, which in the final analysis is the prime reason why the Big Red is favored to go through undefeated for the second year in a row. CORNELL LINE IS AS
 MOBILE AS BACKFIELD
 "There's no denying we have fine material" says Carl Snavely, but there's one other quality which makes that material as potent as it is. The boys are far above average intellectually, and this gives them additional ability to absorb.
 "It's been a long time since I've had team with as much natural athletic ability and coordination. When you've got linemen who are as mobile and flexible as your backs you can really do something"
 It should be added at this point, that the Ithaca forwards, in add1- tion to being mobile, are big enough to give Snavely a first team line averaging 205 pounds.
 And their size doesn't prevent the Big Red from executing the tricky mouse-trap maneuvers and brilliant end-around stuff for which Shave ly is famous.
 That Cornell has added aerial technique to its offense is indicated by the fact that four touchdoWns were accounted for in this manner in the Big Reds $40 defeat of a good Colgate eleven. Lightning strikes from every possible direction in Cornell's 1940 blitzkrieg.
 Twenty lettermen returned this fall. The lone starter lost from last year was Whit Baker at halfback.
 The line is intact, with replace ments backed all the way to Lake Cayuga.
 ALL-AMERICA DRAHOS RETURNS AT TACKLE
 Ava Kelley, regarded by Snavely as the "best end I ever coached, y is at one flank. The other is guarded by big Kirk Hershey, 2l0- pound pass-snatcher. Hershey is nursing pulled muscle, but has an able replacement in Jim Schmuck. Ray Jenkins, another letterman, IS behind Kelley,
 All-America Nick Drahos and Fred West, both at 210, are the tackles. Howie Dunbar, 205, and Lou Cont, 1855, are the guards.
 Bud Finneran, one of the finest centers in the east, is F pounds heavier than he was a year ago.
 Capt. Walt Matuszczak, 205-pound quarterback, is the most formidable blocker east of the Mississippi. Hal Mccullough, an accomplished ball carrier and passer, pairs at half back with Ray Murphy, with Walt Scholl and Jack Bohrman, practic-

The Philadelphia Electric Company
recently announced plans for construc-
ton Of a new steam generating plant with
an ultimate capacity Of 100000 kilowatts.
The plant will cost $45, 0OO 900 and will be
one Of the largest and most efficient in
the nation.
This item Is principally significant as
an example ofthe kind Of private progress
that Is taking place in many sections Of
the country. In the East the North, the
South, and the West, the private utility
industry Is expanding its facilities, and
cooperating to the full with the National
Power Defense Committee. The money
being spent is private money, not public
money. II doesn't eat taxes - instead
1t begets new sources of taxation. And
the properties created will be managed
by private citizens, working under strict
regulatory laws - instead Of by polite
ally appointed bureaucrats who are re-
sponsibie to'no one save the political
clique that keeps them In office.
A great many millions Of dollars are
being spent In this manner today. But
that Is q small part Of the money that
the private industry would spend II II
were rid OF the specter Of increasing, tax
subsidized, tax-free federal competition.
When government goes into business,
private enterprise eventually goes out
a plant which pays is to 20 per cent Of
ali It's revenues for taxes obviously cam
not compete with tax-subsidized, tax
exempt government plant.
The private utilities are ready and eager
to immensely increase their expenditures
for building new plants and expanding
and improving existing ones All they
ask Is that Congress definitely fix the
sphere of federal comptition - that they
shall be told precisely how far power
socialism" Is to be extended. II Con-
gress does that, hundreds Of millions Of
private dollars will be put to work - to
create new jobs, opportunities and wealth,
And the overburdened taxpayers, who
have so far been mulcted Of close to
$2,000,000,o00 to pay for the federal power
Specialization program, wouldn't contrib

Views of The Press

more serious In many ways than the
plight Of their jobless elders. Fear
Ing the physical and moral de-
terioration that might result from
their inability to find Jobs, Congress
set UP an organization whose pur-
pose II was to put young men at
work conserving and developing
natural resources and also to give
the boys vocational training. health
and morale.
without precedent and experience,
this program presented formidable
obstacles, not the least OF which was
that Of hitting upon o method Of
selection that would fill the CCC
rolls with the needy and deserving
and Of making sure that the projects
would not become tokens Of federal
waste. The direction Of the camps
was in itself q responsibility calling
for discretion, understanding and
experience, and in this case, the
CCC was ably assisted by the trained
officers Of the war department.
Essentially the task before the
director was one Of coordinating the
efforts Of the several federal agencies
interested In the program. That this
was accomplished with less politics
and inefiiciency than has charac-
terized other New Deal ventures has
been due largely to Mr.. Fcchner's
ability and unstinting efforts. The
confidence with which he wrote last
summer that the CCC had grown
into "a sound institution" mas been
generally shared by the public
throughout Its six years Of develop
ment and has been attested by the
willingness Of Congress to continue
appropriations for 1t. Whether 1t

We Americans are the worlds most
careless people when 1t comes to fire.
Nowhere else In the world Is the Crime
OF fire so prevalent. A simple set OF sta
tistics readily proves this. Fire loss IN
this country runs In the neighborhood OF
$500 per year for every man, woman
and child OF the population. BY COM
parison, loss In Sweden Is 80 cents per
capita; loss in Great Britain Is 80 cents;
loss In Italy Is IS cents; loss In France
Is 81 cents, and loss in Germany Is IL
cents In other words, we destroy more
than twice Smuch property with fire
as Is destroyed in the next highest coun-
try and close to 20 times as much as
In the lowest on the list.
Here's a case where alibiS are no good.
For the greater percentage OF all fires,
great and small, are the product Of hui
man carelessness Somebody Is thought
less - somebody forgets - somebody
takes chance. And home or factory
COTS up in smoke. Human failure is the
great fire breeder.
The record is the more shameful in
that we Americans have the best Of all
chances to fight and lick fire. Organized
fire prevention, supported by insurance
companies, fire marshals, civic organiza-
tons and others has reached high peak
of excellence in this country. Experts
scour the country searching out hazards
other experts fight arson "a hours a
day others examine machinery, build
ing materials, electric appliances and
similar commodities and draw up fire.
resistant standards of construction =
others keep check on fire departments,
water facilities and alarm facilities. A
wealth of invaluable information is ours
for the asking. We can't pass the buck.
Fire is our fault. And fire can be pre-
vented only by the concerted, thinking
efforts Of us all.

Governor Baldwin's action Is not

Those profits were substantial.

1t Is agreeable to note the optimism
expressed concerning New England econ
omy at the start OF 1910. Not In ten
years has there been q more encouraging
outlook, It has been stated by the presi-
dent OF the New England Council. AS
year followed year since the start OF the
1890 decade one became accustomed to
the pessimistic reports at the beginning
OF each year. The report states that the
councils index Of industrial activity IN
1899 was IS per cent above 1898, and
right at the present time business activi-
ty Is at Its highest level, approximately,
allowing for few spasmodic spurts IN
1885 and 1887, In ten years. There are,
Of course, many businesses who have not
felt the increased industry to any
appreciaple extent, but on the whole
business Is better, and the Christmas
trade was said to have been the best In
ten years. At any rate everyone seems
In the spirit to put the best foot forward
and display an optimistic rather than
pessimistic attitude.
