Il big, windstreamed Luxury Liner that
bears the proud name of Dodge!
And it isn't just beauty that wins folks
it's the extra values Dodge gives, for just
a few dollars more than smaller cars.
"A big car! Yes-the biggest car with the
longest wheelbase at anywhere near its
price. A more luxurious car, too: with wide,
comfortable chair-high seats, gorgeous

Two More Traditions Go

Grantland Rice's selections for the al
America" football team, published in the cur
rent edition of Golfers, do terrible things tt
two venerable traditions which, despite the
trends of a decade or more, are still cherished
by some old-timers.
One is that Harvard, Yale and Princeton
represent the highest perfection of the game
as they did at the beginning of this century
There is not one man on Mr.. Rice's contem.
of these universities.
The other tradition, unshakable a quarter.
century ago, is that football is at it's best only
in cold climates-that there must be frost in
the blood as well as in the air to stir men to
their noblest achievements on the gridiron.
Five OF the Rice selections hail from regions
that have no cold weather, by northern sea.
board standards, and seldom see frost.
Robert Reinhard, tackle, is a shining light
OF the University of California at Berkeley
which even escapes San Francisco's chill fogs
Rudy Mucha, center of the Washington team,
can bear witness that Seattle is comparatively
warm the year round. Guard Suffrage of Ten.
nessee comes nearest among the group tt
training and playing in cold weather, yet Ten
nessee is not to be ranked with Massachusetts
or Connecticut or even Pennsylvania in the
frigidity of the football season. Frank Albert
Stanford's quarterback, enjoys workouts ir
the semi-tropic climate Of Palo Alto and know:
nothing of cold-weather football for the entire
Pacific coast area, protected by the japan
current, knows little of winters bitter breath
Texas A. & NJ, which contributes Kimbrougt
at fullback, is well south of the normal fros,
belt.
II Grantland Rice has not lost his cunning
and there is no reason to think that he has
his present. All-A1nericans are fairly conclu
sive evidence that football is not nearly a.
dependent on climate as on the calibre of tn,
men who play it.

Editorial Comment
THE CLAP"
N. Y. Herald-Tribune

It was some weeks, or maybe months, ago
that a London cable, referring casually to an
air raid as 1.-THE flap" aroused the interest OF
those who believe that in the argot, no less
than in the songs, of a people one can read
more than in all the laws their legislatures
may ever pass. A flap apparently was an
air raid. But later indications suggested that
a flap was any kind of hurly-burly or Juror;
and now there arrives a glossary of R. A. F.
slang, supplied by the British Press Service,
in which flap is defined as "a row, inquiry,
excitement"
But turning up Partridge's Dictionary OF
Slang and Unconventional English, published
in 1888, before Herr Hitler had set out to civil
lie the Briton, one finds that the word has
a far more ancient and honorable lineage
than is encompassed within the present trou-
BILE. FLAP from the sixteenth to the eight
zenith centuries, s%ignified simply "a blow" as
of the hand; from the seventeenth to the
twentieth centuries it also implied "a female
of little repute"; for a time in the Victorian
era it meant "sheet-lead used for roofing
from the sound made by this material when
loose and Tapping in the wind), and in the
late nineteenth and early twentieth century
it was a naval term, signifying ANY evolution
or movement of Warships." 1t may have been
from the navy that the R. A. F. picked it up;
at all events, in the air force in 1915 it meant
AN air raid"
These definitions are all prior to 1888. 1n
1915 it was an 'air raid"; from that it came
to mean any kind of excitement, commotlor
or hustle; this latter is now its exact meaning,
but because an air raid involves excitement
commotion and hustle it is used today in re.
lation to an air raid. Here is the splendid
continuity, combined with the splendid fexi.
bility of the English language-and here, i'm
bedded in language, are the qualities which
make the English great. Continuity and fexi.
bility; the conservation and the radical in,
extricably intertwined-they are here in this
one phrase, which is why one should study
language to know why Britain will survive
all the flaps that Hitlerian dogmatism will
bring against her. ]
