Christmas Wreatbs

In ancient times the Teutons re-
garded holly as symbol of good
luck. The custom was widespread
of hanging evergreens in the inte-
rior Of dwellings. Later the legend
was widely circulated that all grow
ing things blossomed and bore fruit
the night Of the Nativity. Holly
came also to symbolic the crown
Of thorns worn by Christ. The Puri-
tans, however. regarded holly and
mistletoe decorations as pagan in
nature, and they therefore were out
lawed.

Christmas tree candles date back
to the very earliest times in the
Christian era. The Yule candle, Of
goodly size, lighted early Nativity
celebrations. The lighting Of can
dies is indeed universl religious
and national custom. Candle light
ing featured the Morse mid-winter
festival Of the turning of the sun.
The Jewish Feast Of Chanuckah or
Lights is also celebrated similarly
at the same season.

crossed up the fans by bringing in
one Curly Brown Of New York to

Plummer in the feature waltz and

the Plummer known as Lou, causing
him great mental anguish and also
causing him to lose his temper. He

With both of the Redskins next
two opponents having provided all
four of the National Football
Leagues early season upsets, Coach
Ray Flaherty doesn't need lot OF
persuasive powers these days to
convince his players of the danger
against letting down if they hope
to win even the Eastern Division
championship.
Freshly impressed by what he
witnessed in Chicago Wednesday
night. when he saw a young Cardi-
nal eleven whip the naughty Bears,
Flaherty is quick to point out that
Jimmy Conzelman's new team had
furnished a previous form reversal
in tying the Lions, while the Pitts
burgh Steelers have surprised both
in drawing with the Giants and
beating the Lions.
In every instance" Flaherty de-
clares, the apparent form reversal
has been brought about by an under
dog fired up to meet a more highly
rated foe. On the other hand, the
favored opposition has looked just
that and has assumed the attitdue
that it didn't have to go out and
win on is merits. You could see
that the Bears were cocky when
they walked on the field the other
night. AS usually is the case. it
was fatal mood-for the Bears"
Unwilling to attribute the Bears
loss entirely to their mental atti-
tude, Flaherty says that the Cardi-
mails have q much improved team

Excitement Is Promised
As Riverside Event
Enters Late Stoge

Some wild jamming and sprinting
sessions are in prospect today and
tomorrow as the six-day bike racers
at Riverside Stadium whirl into the
final days of their grind.
Three teams were tied at the top
at the end of the 106th hour and the
others still are close enough to make
1t interesting, especially since the
leaders are tired and threatening
to droop after maintaining their
stiff pace all week. In fact, nearly
all teams are showing the strain, but
they still managed to summon en-
ergy for some snappy riding late
yesterday and last night.
Two riders escaped with only
minor burns and scratches in spec

settled down to steady grind after
midnight.
Al Sellinger, young American
rider, collapsed and tumbled from

NEW YORK, Sept. 27-Taking the
first blindfold test of the 1910 foot
ball season and gently reminding
that everybody in this country is
entitled to his own opinion, no
matter how misguided he may be:
California Michigan: Michigan,
with all-America Tom Harmon still
on deck, looms as a title threat in
the Big Nine" while early season
forecasts relegate California to the
also-rans in the Pacific Coast Con-
ference. Not that that has anything
to do with this game. The guess Is
Michigan, despite the long trip.
Minnesota washington: Nobody
knows how good Minnesota may be
this year, and every one agrees
Washington, paced by Dean Nc
Adams, will be there or thereabouts
in its own sector. Bernie Bierman
has some holes to fill at Minnesota,
but we'll take a chance on the
Gophers just the same.
Sees Futile Eagles Trip.
Tulane Boston College: The East
ern drums are beating loudly for
Frank Leahys Boston College Eagles,
but this vote goes to Tulane, un-
beaten during the regular season
last year.
U. G. L. A-Southern Methodist:
Just one more sample of how many
schedule makers have abandoned
the old "breather" type of opener.
S. M. US Mustangs expect to give
Texas A. and NJ something to worry
about in the Southwest and rate the
call over U. c. L. A., bereft of Kenny
Washington.
Ohio State-Pitt: The Buckeyes
won the Big Ten crown a year ago
and apparently are better, if any,
thing. Don Scott, powerful back, is
the lad purified Pitt will need to
watch. The choice Is Ohio State,
