ONE-WAY GLASS?

No enc should question the good intentions of
Mayor La Guarda and the Worlds Fair officials
in wishing to bring the Dionne quintuplets to
Flushing Meadows next spring. One can, how
ever, seriously doubt the good taste of the pro-
Ject and its fairness to the little girls.
The Donnes not freaks. They attrac-
tive, normal children, pretter brighter or
cutter than many other children, and unique only
because there are five of them. They do not be-
long in the category of bearded ladies and two
headed calves. They have been shown off suffi-
GENTLY in Calendar. They could not be brought
here and exhibited without adding to the really
cruel notoriety which sets them off from millions
of other children. What of it if they are put be-
hind a one-way glass showcase, that spectators
look at them without being visible to them?
They will know perfectly we'll what is going on
They are no longer babies. They will be six
years old next May
To the end of their lives they can never hope
be put to better use than bringing visitors to
the Fair or even raising funds for the Canadian
Red Cross. If they have mission in the world
it is to show what tender loving and scientific
care do for ordinary children. This purpose
IS not advanced by making sideshow of them.
They ought to be allowed to live as nearly pos
sible normal lives, which they cannot do if they
are to be paraded for pay before millions of peo-
pie
There is more than one kind of one-way glass.
There is the kind which permits well-meaning
men to see box-office receipts clearly but blinds
them to the welfare of FIVE little grls--New York
Times.

80 to 38

The Big Reds squared off for a
four round encounter with the Philo
"Electrics' and emerged from the

bout started the Electrics proved to
be starters, scoring IL points the

Round g. The Electrics picked
up speed in this round and scored

Round 4. During this round the
Electrics connected for 10 points.
So when the score was totaled the
Big Reds won two rounds to Phi
los one, but the final score is what
counts. When the final score was
calculated by our mastermind. Mau-
rice Archer. it was found that the
Big Reds led in that too 80 to 3S.
The Electrics didn't have enough
voltage to blast the Big Reds. 1t

GRID TRAINERS
 CAN BE WRONG

NORMAN, Okla, Nov. IA. - Trainer Ted owens of the Okla homa University football team knows a good way to settle an ar gument with a player over a foot ball injury.
 Fullback Johnny Martin, hurt in the game against Kansas State, insisted his arm injury wasn't se- rious Trainer owens wasn't sure.
 So between halves Martin was rushed against his wishes to the nearby college infirmary where an X-ray was taken. It showed no bones broken.
 T told you so,' said Martin and went back into the game and scored another touchdown.

ITHACA, N. Y, Nov. r.. - The ecret of Cornells football sue
 ess may be that Carl Snavely's
 ridders instinctively do the right thing
 That means a combination Of alent experience, and thorough drilling in fundamentals. Add generous portions of imagination, and the love of play and you have sootballers who make corre c t moves instinctively
 That's Cornell, voted the nations No. team in the Associated Press poll of coaches and sports writers October 29
 Cornell doesn't have Minnesota $ power, Ohio States trickery or riple-threat ace to compare With Michigan's Tom Harmon. But the Cornells can turn on a short blast of power when they need it. .. Mort Lansberg not only can muscle his way through line for precious first-down yard or two but is also touchdown threat who an step on the accelerator and lip through the slightest opening.
 The backfielders are smooth pig skin handlers although they don't try to copy the Buckeyes magic. And while Cornell hasn't a liar mon it has half dozen young athletes of far better than aver age ability and any one of them can go to town.
 Matuszczak and Mccullough are good handlers of the ball McCul- ough is an able runner and good passer. Matuszczak has few peers as a blocker. He loves to bowl them over. Mccullough is a satisfactory kicker. As for the backfield subs Lou Bufalino can knife through ohe slimmest opening, run low and tear away the yardages at top speed. Walter Scholl little fellow of l62 pounds who cant take the heavy pounding of a full game, is the best of the passers. Vincent Eich- Ter, 193-pounder is the Reds best bet solely as a line puncher.
 First Rate Line
 The line is good, very good. Heading the forewall is All America Nick Drahos at tackle, perhaps trifle better than year ago. Then there is Ava Kelley, whom Snavely calls the best end he has ever coached, and the other wingmen, Kirk Hirshey and Jim Schmuck, all adept at CornelPs old favorite, the end-around ma- neuver. Frank Finneran, a ball. hawk, is a mobile center, while Howard Dunbar is a whizz at guard.
 Time after time, in the second half, this line stopped Ohio States power and deception cold Many times the Buckeyes faced fourth down with still 10 yards to go. The Big Red wall couldn't be dented or turned.
 In the Ohio State affair-major contest for Cornell and top game for the Buckeyes-Cornell showed that it could take pounding, stand up under it and come back to Win Ohio State demonstrated that it lacked. the fire to retaliate under adverse conditions.
 Few teams have appeared as powerful as the Buckeyes who
The Daily Alaska empire., 1940-11-14

'Today's news tooay in The Empire
The Daily Alaska empire., 1940-11-14

marched 89 yards to tally against Cornell But Cornell gave no signs of discouragement. They came back to win. Ohio State, on the other hand, was clearly whipped and without spirit after Cornell had pushed ahead. That was the difference.
 Spirit Not There
 It would be foolhardy to say that Ohio State, one of the best in the midwest as shown by its close games with Minnesota and North western, was not as well drilled as Cornell. Or that it had less tal- ent than the Ithacans. It just dlnt have the same football in- stinot and will-to-win.
 Cornells victory in what ap- pears its biggest hurdle-and it tsI now likely to go unbeaten again this year--is a triumph for the coaching of Carl Snavely, preci- sionist who observes the smallest detail and is satisfied with noth- ing short of perfection
 There has been charge that Snavely signaled plays from the bench. So many of Cornell's long gains against Ohio State were made as result of instinctive ac- tions that we think good reply to this charge-whether 1t is true or not-is, as enc writer expressed it:
 "Snavely can't signal his boys to reverse their field while they're on the dead run
