With one record already in the
discard, high school trackmen looked
forward to another afternoon of
brisk competition today as they
moved into the finals of their an
nual championship meet at Central
Stadium. The first event was sched-
uled for $3.50.
Central, pre-meet favorite, and
Tech, its leading rival for the title,
ran true to form in the qualifying
round, placing % and % men, re-
spectively in the finals. Final dis
position of the crown apparently lies
between the two for Eastern, lodged
in third place, has only II boys in
the championship round.
Frank Culin, bespectacled Wood
row Wilson timber topper, lowered
the 120-yard high hurdle mark to
15.4 seconds in winning his heat,
looping Clio of a second of the
record hung up by Grover Everett
OF Eastern in 1881. Some observers
believed Culin would drive the mark

in his low hurdles heat and loated
home in 27.1. The record is / sec

Barham All-Around Star.
Star of the qualifying round was
Eddie Barham, Techs all-around
ace, who won berths in the 12O-yard
high hurdles. discus, broad Jump.
Javelin and high jump. Barham,
oddly enough, has been held in

Thompson and has not pointed for

Thompson said he had permitted
him to broad jump, throw the

vious meets to keep the boy, horse
for work, from burning himself out.
With little practice in the various
events it's difficult to predict Just
what Barham would do. He has
his task cut out for him in the high
hurdles, however, for Culin is
speedy hombre over the jumps.

VIII Roosevelt Run (Continued)?

Gradually and apparently with no effort on his
part President Roosevelt is maneuverng into position
as the only logical candidate for the Democratic
nomination to the White House. Although he has
told friends that he prefers not to again. he is in
better spot to do so than any avowed seeker of his
office. And knowing Mr.. Roosevelt as one of the most
aStute politicians this country has seen many
observers are wondering if he did not plan it this
way.
No other sure vote-getter for the Democratic
party now is in sight Paul " McNutt, who started
his campaign last year, has failed to arouse the
enthusiasm of the pubic-despite his handsome pro-
hle-and now is not seriously considered as con-
tender. Vice President Garner made the mistake of
telling friends that he running chiefly to prevent
Roosevelt third term. That is poor base on which
to rally hackers. Further, as New Dealers have con-
tnuousy pointed out, Mr.. Garner is too old and too
conservative to attract the votes of the socalled
liberals"
Secretary of State Hull, the only candidate in
high favor with all factions of his party, now is
engaged in bitter fight to his reciprocal trade
treaty program This struggle, party leaders believe,
has made him enemies in the important farm areas
of the country which said to bitterly oppose the
treaties. And though Mr. Hull has received the Presi-
dents endorsement, Mr.. Roosevelt has expressed to
many friends his fear that the Secretary is too old
for the job. Some observers even made the crude
suggestion that the President arranged for the trade
treaty fight in this election year just to embarrass
Mr.. Hull candidate.
Be all that as it may, there still is no available
Democrat with such certain ballot box appeal as that
OF Mr. Roosevelt To the rank and file of the party,
many members OF which have enjoyed the more than
100000 Federal jobs that they hold only by keep
ing Democratic President in office this is becoming
more clear every day. At any moment now they
are likely to start really serious draft Roosevelt
movement such as the Ickes Corcorans and Wallaces
have been attempting to put over for many months.
In this way President Roosevelt could defeat much
of the countrys traditional antthrd term sentiment
by having the nomination forced upon him.

Are We Really Afraid?

More critical politicians have been contending for
some time that the United States has no definite
phase of our dealings with other nations certainly
deserves criticism. We refer to the present attitude
OF lear seemingly predOminating the minds of Con-
gress and the Administration.
For example, many months last year were spent
in cautious debate as to whether this country had
the right to trade with nations engaged in war,
right for which our forefathers waged one war and
very nearly started several others. Every effort of
our legislators during the special session of Congress
seemed aimed to avoid offending either Germany or
the Allies
Even before that time Congress refused to fortify
Guam chiefly because it feared that such action
would arouse the enmity of Japan. The Japanese
have bitterly protested any suggestion of terrifying
that distant isand-despite the fact that they have
armed to the teeth every possession they own within
striking distance of not only Guam but Hawaii the
Philippines and Alaska
Now both the President and Congress are refusing
TO aid Finland in any way that might anger Russia,
though they have expressed deepest sympathy for the
Import Bank has been granted the Finns but there
are strings tied to it. the money cannot be used for
the purchase of arms
This bit of pussy footing seems most ridiculous
OF ALL Though appreciate the desire of the Presi-
dent and Congress to keep this country out of war;
we hate to them fall victims to the bluffs of
Hitler, Stain, Japan and other sword shakers The
people of America have indicated that they favor
aiding Finland In every way possible. We seem to
recall that Russia made no bones about supporting
the parties with which they sympathized in the
Spanish civil and until recently at least in the
ChineSe-J Japanese conflict.
The Firms are fighting for freedom and democracy
and, in doing so, waging our own battle for u.s.
protecting the border of democratic nation from
future totatarian aggression AS for Russian blows
at this country in retaliation for aiding the Firms
we believe that the Reds are very near to having
their hands full for some time to come.

DAVID AND GOLIATH


The great bear founders through
the snow
To put the Firms to rout,
And little Finland reaches up to
Smack him on the snout.
He sends across the frozen waste
His canons and his tanks,
While white clad warriors pour
their fire
Into their quivering TANKS.
He drops his bombs upon the towns
To kill and MAIN below,
Yet in the air, on sea and land
The Firms give blow for blow.
He drives his men on to their
deaths,
In wretched, stupid hosts,
To face the keen unerring fire
Of white, uncanny ghosts.
And all the world applauds the
sight,
Heroic Films, defiant!
God speed the miracle to come,
When David Stays the giant.

meet ultimate destruction. That is
the hope. The end, of course, may

ALONG The ROAD
By
JOHN RANDOLPH STIDMAN

In a recent dispatch from the
Finland front, it is stated that the
Finnish soldiers claim that the
Russians are more afraid of mines
than of anything else. The Firms
mined their bathhouse at Hauki-
lampi and the Russians went in to
investigate. The explosions began
and they jumped into a nearby
gravel pit which had also been
mined. The survivors left note
warning the Films that if this
practice continued there would be
trouble to come. Trouble to come,
but fer whom?
Mr.. James Stokley, tells us that
at the end of February five great
planets can be seen with the naked
eye, lined up in the western sky.
Who wants to go out these bitter
nights with the naked eye?

Ada, "Now, Aunt Ada, am in love

Tough On The Birds. Too

Maryland has been going through one of it's hard
est winters of recent years. Nearly everyone has
been hindered by the unusual amount of snow. How
many of us, though, have realized that the rough
going has been extra hard on our birds?
Either covered by frozen hard as it has
been for so long, the ground offers no food to our
feathered friends For that reason the State Game
Warden has several times asked citizens of the State
to feed the birds Proper food has been distributed
to the deputy wardens in each county and is available
to anyone who is willing to help in the feeding pro-
gram.
The winter is nearly over-we hope-but it still
viii be some time before the birds will be able to
forage for themselves. Start helping them now It
only requires little extra effort.

which shell the pea under?

our forefathers never got much pleasure out of life
