INTELLIGENCE RELATED,
To BLOOD STREAM?


To BLOOD STREAM?
Editor The Times: In a recent
Times editorial on the SUBJECT
What Makes Us Smart? you
mention the work Of DR.. Henry
Donaldson. one of the founders
of a collection of 200 brain speci-
mems in an eastern university,
which are being studied for the
purpose of finding out what
makes one person turn out to be
an Einstein while another barely
makes seventh grade. And we
are told that at the time OF DR..
Donaldson's death he was tinker
ing with the idea that intelli-
gence might be related In some
way to the blood stream and not
to the brain at all.
There are two schools or
thought about intelligence and
life in general, one mechanistic
and the other vitalistic. What
we term Western thought as a
general thing recognizes intelli-
gence as something originating
in or secreted by the brain.
While what we term Eastern
thought, especially Hindu, recog-
nizes intelligence as a life or
vitalistic principle which uses
the brain as an instrument for
expressing itself.
There is a new book, Some
Unrecognized Factors in Medi-
cine" published in 1889, which
goes somewhat into detail on
this vitalistic theory. VII i h
shows that life or vitality, or
prana, as it is called in Hindu,
flows through the central canal
of the spinal cord and along the
myelin sheath of the nerves and
discharges itself in the others
of every cell in the physical body
as we'll as in the ether of the
blood corpuscles. So there might
have been something to DR.. DON
aldson's bunch that intelligence
Is in some way related to the
blood stream. MANN TILLY.

The magistrate was deaf, but
certainly not deafer than the two
men before him. The first man
leaned forward earnestly.
"Sir," he exclaimed, "this man
owes me grocery bill amounting
to no less than $40, and refuses to
pay It'll"
The second man sprang up.
"That's a lie!" he cried, indig-
nantly. "My dog didn't bite him. !"
There was a pause while the
magistrate reviewed the situation,
then he announced his decision.
"Gentlemen," he said, 'I fully
appreciate your feelings, but I can
see no reason why you should not
combine to support your mother. "

Bears, Playing Stanford Style,
Disturb Equoninity of Bhf
Jones, Nebraska Coach

It probably gave no peace of
mind to Maj Lawrence (Biff) Jones
yesterday as he watched the Chicago
Bears romp over the Redskins, 70
to 0. to win the world professional
football championship.
Biff is coach of the Nebraska team
which will encounter Stanford's un-
beaten Indians in the Rose Bowl
game at Pasadena There are two
notable teams using the old ''T''
formation, the Bears and Stanford
Until he moved to the West Coast,
Coach Clark Shaughnessy of STAN
ford served on the Advisory Board
of the Bears.
Here are some of the things that
must have annoyed the Major:
/. Seeing a record for one sided
scores in the 22-year -old history
of the National Football League.
2. witnessing a gilt-edge pass de-
fense by the Bears against the best
passing team in all football The
Redskins completed 81 of 40 passes
but. while gaining 229 yards via
aerials, were overshadowed in the
air when the Bears, completing six
out of only eight passes, gained 120
yards themselves and intercepted
eight enemy heaves.
3. Watching new record for indi-
vidual scoring. In averaging well
over a point minute, the Bears
gave IS players the opportunity to
break into the scoring column
Touchdowns were scored by Bill
Osmanski, Sid Luckman, Joe Mani
aci Ken Kavanaugh, Hampton Pool,

Ray Noting. George McAfee. Clyde
Turner, Harry Clark (2), and Gary
Famiglietti. Extra points were
added by Jack Manders, Bob Snyder
ca. Phil Martinovich. Dick Plasman
and Joe Stydahar (all by place
ments), and by Maniaci on a pass
from Saul Sherman.
4. Gaping at team which threw
the book at the Redskins, Eastern
champions. by scoring nearly three
times as many points as the pre-
viouS high-scoring winner, which
was the New York Giant team in
1884, victor over the Bears .30-13. The
73-point margin of the Bears yester-
day also surpassed by plenty the
27-point edge of the Green Bay
Packers over the Giants in 1889,
which had stood as the record
difference between play-off teams.
Finally. Chicago's 73 points were "a
more than the total rolled up in the
record free-scoring game in pro
annals. The old mark of 40 was set
in 1887, when the Redskins whipped
the Bears in Chicago, 1921.
According to official statistics. the
Redskins gained net of only 3
yards by rushing. The only real
edge by the Tribesmen was on run
ming back kicks. They ran 223
yards as against only 40 for the
Bears, but this included runbacks of
kick-offs and. inasmuch as the Bears
scored II touchdowns and the an
nouncer spent most of the day
shouting. "Artoe kicking of for the
Bears" this was not surprising.

A dull. depressing fog Of gloom
spread over the National Capital
today as the Redskin alumni from
Capitol Hill to Georgetown and the
uptown precincts wondered where
the bomb struck and why the Chica-
60 Bears hadn't uprooted the White
House too. They took everything
else, including the rosy prospects Of
the wonder" team of pro football,
the Redskins.
Stunned into a dumb silence the
Redskin faithful pondered whether
a team could come back from a de-
feat as colossal as that suffered by
the Skins yesterday. But nine
months will intervene before the
l94l edition of the Skins will ap-
pear. In that time lots of things
can happen.
Indians Simply Outclassed.
Some wondered whether the Bears
were pulling their punches in the
second quarter when they scored
only one touchdown. Others pom
dered on whether the Skins would
have bounced back from the abyss

Whether the Redskins actually
quit, as charged by their owner, or
simply were stale, as many observ-
is certain: There's going to be a
radical shake-up Of Washington's
professional football team before
the 1941 season rolls around.

team was unbeatable yesterday and
that no opponent in the world could
have stopped it, and you still haven't
