UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Sir Walter Scott lived in the time
Of Napoleon Bonaparte. Napoleon
was the terror of his day. Leading
armies from place to place, he con-
quered one country after another.
Europe was drenched in blood, as It
has been of late. Hitler is no more
Of a terror today than Napoleon was

stood out against Napoleon. Great
Britain would not bow before his
cannon. In the end Napoleon was
brought down, losing the Battle Of
the Nations and the Battle Of Water
loo.
Some persons think Of = man
who shows skill in using brute force

Of millions Of human beings, but II
he wins his way, those persons class
him as "a great man."
Napoleons memory lives to this
day, but 80 does the memory Of

pen. Sir Walter Scott lives in a
very real way In his poems and

The bidding:

- Pass Pass Pass
South's bid of four spades was a
"stretch," but he was playing with
q very conservative partner and
didn't want to risk losing a cold
game because OF his partners
timidity.
West opened the queen Of hearts,
East played the king and South held
up his ace. East returned the
heart deuce and this time South
took the ace.
Now analyze that hold-up play.
South can eventually get q discard
on one Of dummy's diamonds, but
that discard must be q heart, since
q club discard is worthless. The
contract therefore depends on pre-
venting q heart continuation when
the ace Of diamonds is taken.
Exactly that was effected by the
hold-up play. After taking the heart
ace South drew trumps and led the
diamond jack. East won, but could
not lead hearts, so South managed
to get rid of his last heart and
made his contract.

Western Conference
Votes 10 Continue
Post-Season Ban
Emphasizes 1t Applies
To Charity as Well
As Bowl Contests
BY EARL HILLIGAN,

CHICAGO, Dec. THE Western
Conference threw a solid block
today against any football games
after its regular season-of Rose
Bowl or any other variety.
BY unanimous vote, faculty repre-
sentatives of the circuit agreed to
adhere to the present rule prohibit
ing post-season games. And they
were emphatic in pointing out this
applies to both Rose Bowl and
charity games.
There was only brief discussion
before a decision on the proposal
for the Western Conference to join
with the Pacific Coast Conference in
making the annual Rose Bowl game
a closed affair between the two col
legiate organizations. Ten faculty
representatives attended the meet
ing, but the representative OF Chi
cago, which abolished football a year
ago, did not ballot.
May Bob Up Again.
There was some speculation on the
possibility of the Rose Bowl question
bobbing up again in the future.
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois,
Northwestern and Purdue long have
been opposed to the plan, but there
had been some support for the idea
at other conference schools. Prof.
F.. E. Richart of Illinois, committee
secretary, indicated that the realiza-
tion that the plan could not win
approval had prompted opponents
to make the deciding ballot unani-
nous one.
The committee ruled that John
Petty, star Purdue fullback; Pete
Timpermann, Purdue lineman,
and Helge Pukema, star Minnesota
guard, would be eligible for another
year of competition. All appeared
in one game in their sophomore
year, but the representatives relaxed
their regulations because they had
been forced out of action by injury
or illness.
DR.. Karl Leib of Iowa was elected
committee chairman, succeeding
Prof. w. J. Moenkhaus of Indiana,
and Prof. Henry Rottschaefer OF
Minnesota was named delegate to
the National Collegiate Athletic As
sociation meeting at New York De-
cember 30-31.
Conference athletic directors, on
recommendation of the track
coaches. added two events to the
program of the indoor conference
track meet-the 70-yard low hurdles
and the broad jump.
The questions of selection and as
signment of the Big Nine football
officials was referred to Maj. John
L. Griffith, conference commissioner.
There had been reports of move
ment to have these officials work in
sets of four-the same four men to
work every game. Maj. Griffith was
given authority to make any assign
ments he wishes.
