Youth in q Fog

According to a poll of young men
and women conducted by the Y. M.
c. A., 80 per cent of youth thinks
that ability is no longer the chief
asset In getting along in the world.
1t this is true reflection, ii is
nothing less than shocking Be-
cause the notion is just as fallacious
as it would have been 80 or 100
years ago.
This feeling that it's more i'm
portant to know the right people
than to know how to do something
well has been growing all too fast.
The psychology of achievement mar
rows down to the technique of win
ming friends and influencing people.
The old-fashioned success story Of
the poor boy who endured hard
ships, worked long and hard and
finally won to the top is sneered
at as horse and buggy stuff. Sue
cess nowadays means meteoric rise
resulting from some brilliant idea
for radio program, movie scenario,
popular song, novel or amazing in
vention. And when an ambitious
young man fails to click" with his
titanic idea he decides the world is
against him in conspiracy against
merit
The youths elders might persuade
him to set longer-range objective
and work toward it with steadier
patience but, for counter influ-
ence, that is just now the great
kinder of illusion, This is the care
fully cultivated conception that So
ciety owes certain things to its
youth--a new set of inalienable
rights having nothing to do with
equality Of opportunity.
Social clubs debate the question,
What should government do for
YOUTH" In our palmy days the
question would have been, What
should youth do for government"
That is the contrasting spirit of two
ages.
Youth Out of the Fog
| Perhaps you've been one of those
who say that Americans have gone
soft, that they no longer display the
old-fashioned virtues of initiative
and CUTS. A good many symptoms
point that way, we'll admit. But for
good antidote to that kind of
pessimism consider the cases of two
statesmen who were awarded medals
by the Beata Quota Fraternity last
year.
Jimmie Smith sold insurance in
Oklahoma City. On the very eve Of
big drive for business by his COM
pany he was in an automobile acct
dent and his jaw was broken His
doctor told him that meant going to
the hospital and being laid up for a
spell. But Jimmie had plans in
mind and he went ahead with them,
jaw or no jaw. He stayed on the
| job with broken jaw for two
weeks, closed the business he had
lined up, won the contest his COM
pany was putting on--then went to
the hospital and had his jaw placed
in a plaster cast. Foolish, maybe,
but he did it.
Runner=up to Jimmie was not SC
spectacular but probably just as
heroic He had been a successful
executive until his business failed
and threw him onto the man mar
ket in middle age to start all over
The only job he could get was that
OF routeman for laundry on run
down, Improbable territory. OF
course he felt superior to the job
His fellow routemen sensed it and
gave him the cold shoulder. But
he stuck to the job, made his route

CHICAGO. Nov. 4. CUP)-With
the election Of president of the
United States coming up tomorrow,
1 have logically chosen to discuss
the importance of the kick after
touchdown in college football with
you today.
If the number of campaign speech
es I have been listening to lately
happen to color my writing, please
do not swap sportswriters in mid
stream because I promise to straigh-
ten myself out later on. The Min
nesota Northwestern game here
Saturday showed what can come of
an unholy alliance between a coach
who does not stress placement kick
ing and defeat. The two go hand
in hand. 1t was by the narrow
margin of a missed kick that North
western was beaten IL to 13.
1 hate war-I despise war I don't
want Northwestern's football die
tator, Lynn Waldorf to rise up in
arms against me. But I must ask,
as an American. if Northwestern's S
way of winning is not jeopardized
by the fact that in his term of
office his expenditures have not
provided adequate protection against
missed tries for the extra point?
Thomas jefferson saw the danger
in missed placement kicks. No.
where in his writings will you
find his advocating a way of living
that endorses one-point defeats.
No football team can be free unless
it knows that the business men

Redskins, Bears
Near Professional
Grid Championship

NEW YORK, Nov. 4. (UP)-The
professional football season was
just about over today for every
body except the Washington Red
skins and the Chicago Bears. Un-
less miracle happens those two
clubs will meet at Washington
Dec. 8 for the worlds champion
ship.
The Redskins, unbeaten and un-
tied. need only two more victories
in four games to clinch the eastern
division title. The Bears, victor
ious in six out of seven games,
need two more wins in their four
game schedule to clinch a tie for
the western division title.
The Bears, called by many coach
es the greatest collection of players
ever gathered under one banner,
virtually clinched the western divi-
sion crown Sunday by beating the
Green Bay Packers, AT, before
As, ,434 fans, largest throng ever to
see a pro game in Chicago. A
56-yard run on a kickoff by Rookie
halfback Ray Mclean set up the
Bears winning touchdown. Gary
Famiglietti plunged over for the
score from the 6-yard line.
While the Bears were protecting
their western division lead, the
Redskins breezed to 37-10 triumph
over the Pittsburgh Steelers before
a crowd of 31,204 at Washington.
Sammy Baugh and Frank Filchock
gave the Steelers a passing lesson
to remember them by, Completing

Possibilities of
Upset Victory

They're brewing some trouble for
Calexico high schools football team
over Holtville way, according to
Coach Ben Palmgren, and unless
the Bulldogs are hot the Vikings
plan TO upset the applicant come
Friday night.
Holtville, winner over Imperial
by a 12-O score last Friday night,
journey to Calexico this week for
a game that the Bulldogs must
win to stay in the league race.
A defeat for Calexico would drop
the Bulldogs out of the race and
even give Holtville a chance to pass
the defending champions in the
league race should the Vikings
stage one more upset in loop play.
Coach Ed Covington's squad will
be in top shape, however, and will
have Lauro Andrade ready to take
over passing duties as we'll as

A versatile squad of Ri
Centro Junior college foot
ball players went to work
again Monday afternoon to
prepare for an important
game against Compton junior col
lege in the annual Armistice Day
contest at Central field next Mon
day afternoon.
The Junior collegians returned to
practice with another victory pack
ed away in the trophy room, this
one for Coach Robert Armstrong,
who was unable to accompany his
team because of serious illness.
The Arab gridders played inspir-
ed football to defeat Phoenix jul
nior college, $50, in Phoenix, and
even the second and third stringers
combined their efforts in the fourth
quarter to score one for Coach
Slippery Teddy Sander, former
Calexico high school star, was the
hero of the junior college victory
scoring touchdowns on 10, go and
80 yard runs. Other touchdowns
were scored by Howard DickerSon
on a line plunge, by Paul Honda
on a pass and by Bud Measures
on an 80 yard runback of an in
tercepted pass.
The Ell Centrans were held score
less by Phoenix in a hard fought
first quarter, but came back with
two scores in the second period, one
in the third and three in the fourth
and final quarter.
Saturday nights triumph over
Phoenix was by the same score that
the Arabs subdued the Arizonans
in the first meeting between the
two schools in Ell Centre early in
the season.

Paul Fabares, Captain Joe Longacre

Brawley holds a half game lead

round, 60, win over Ell Centre.
Brawley has only 90 tie with
the Defending Champion Calexico
Bulldogs to mar its record and
that tie was earned despite the
fact Calexico's celebrated Lauro
Andrade was in the starting back
field last Friday night.
Ell Centro holds a 14-13 victory
over Calexico but that triumph
was earned over the Bulldogs while
the same Andrade chap was releg-
ated to the bench because OF an
injured shoulder.
But past performances, compar-
ative scores and discussion OF who
played with whom, are forgotten
when Brawley and Ell Centre foot
ball teams start feuding on the
football field.
Friday nights game will match
the climax running of Brawley's
