just as he has been forced to watch
every game for the last two seasons.
Cadet Hinkle is the same Hinkle
who played enough center for
Vanderbilt University back in 1887
to be named on practically every ALL
America team in the land. including
that of the Associated Press. He
was 200 pounds of ripping, tearing
lineman for the Commodores, and
Army hearts jumped beat when he
passed up professional football to
enter the academy.
But 1888 was the year that West
Point chose to invoke its "3-year
rule" When Cadet Hinkle showed
up. he learned that no player who
had served three years of varsity
competition, including time on col
lege teams before entering the
military academy. was eligible for
Army's eleven. That. of course,
washed up his football career.
If it was hard on Hinkle, it was
hard on Armys football followers,
too. Things have not gone too well
with the Cadets lately-especiallv
this season-and a man like Hinkle
bolstering the center of the line
could have made tremendous
difference.
But Hinkle hasn't let it get him
down. He intended primarily to
become an Army officer, anyway,

LINCOLN, Nebr., Nov. 27.-Meet
Vike Francis, successor to Paul
Christman of Missouri as the royal
Jester of Big Six football.
Vike is the 6-foot, 200-pounder
who holds down the fullback spot
on the No. / Nebraska unit-the
same post at which his brother Sam
gained all-America honors in 1886.
That might have been handicap
to some lads, but not to Vike, who,
when introduced once as Sam
Francis brother, Vike," Immediately
informed all within hearing that
"Sam is MY brother!"
Personification of Confidence.
They tell, too, of how Vike, while
receiving congratulations on kick
ing the field goal that beat Pitt, 9 to
7, calmly stated why, was so sure
that kick was good that I didn't even
bother to look up
Then when some one asked the
big fellow how about that extra
point he had missed and which
gave Pitt chance to take one
point lead, Vike replied:
For drama, my friend, for the
purpose of a dramatic touch later.
/ knew all the time we'd get that
chance for field goal"
Earlier in the Pitt game Francis, a
Junior, had Cancelled call to carry
the ball from Pitts l-yard line after
playing big part in getting it down
there. He told Quarterback Roy
Petsch to "let Harry Hopp carry
it-he's a senior" So Hopp scored
the touchdown.
And there is the story of how
Vike settled matters when the
seniors, talking about possible bowl
bid, were reminded there were still
two games to be won.
Said Vike: eff necessary, I shall
attend personally to those mat
ters."
Leave 1t to Vike!
Then In Nebraskas roaring come
back in the third quarter last Satur-
day after Iowa State had taken a

one of two third period touchdowns
and kicked both extra points as
Nebraska took a 14-to-12 lead and
went on to win, 81 to II.
That left only Kansas State-a
game in which Francis needs six
points to take the conference scor-
ing leadership.

(FrOm the Baltimore q ONO MagaZlne)
TT has frequently been pointed out, of late, that
most Americans, and especially those born here,
seldom think of their priceless political liberties.
We just accept them with the thoughtlessness of
the air we breathe Happily the denial of these lib
critics in many countries has given renewed
reason to consider them--to ponder their inesti-
mable value to us, to determine that any sacrifice
we may have to make is worth while for their pres
ervation.
The Committee to Defend America by Aiding
the Allies makes this thought of it's objectives
in the following:
"Our constant aim shall be education of democ-
racy for the preservation of liberty. In this we
shall turn to the youth of this country. We Amer
icans-old and young-have accepted too lightly
the blessings Of liberty. We have forgotten the
centuries of struggle, of sacrifice, of bloodshed
that have established each Of precious liberties
of assemblage, of speech, of conscience, of the
right to information, of the writ of habeas corpus,
of trial by jury, the sacredness of contract and
the security of the individual in the legitimate
profits of his honest endeavors, whether he be
workman capitalist These rights, with their
duties, have grown so slowly and have come upon
mankind in such gradual process that too many
of our citizens hold these gains lightly. The
process of education must now begin"

MISS PERKINS URGES LABOR
TO MAKE NEW UNITY EFFORT

tary of Labor, urged labor to make a
new effort for unity in its own ranks

its invitation to the CIO to resume
peace negotiations.
Miss Perkins praised the work Of
the A. F.. of l.. in improving labor
standards and said she believed CO.
operation between organized workers
and the government was better than
ever before.
"The months directly ahead demand
that the nations wage earners, en-
ployers and all other groups cooper
ate as never before in the interest of
the national well-being and in the in
terest of national Defense" the Sec
retary said. "The American Feder-
alton of Labor will do its part un-
selfshly, unstintingly and whole
heartedly. The wage earners Of Amer
ca will join them and all other groups
of cur beloved country in an old

better society in which the brother
hood of man under the Fatherhood Of
God becomes daily reality. The la
Dor movement of the United States of

in, and protect this society with all its
strength"
Miss Perkins was enthusiastically
applauded at the end of her address
and President William Green de-
scribed her talk as "helpful and in
structive"

EIRE departments Of American cities are invent

cheering news.
The Cleveland fire department inspected S0,-
600 homes in an intensive campaign during the
past nine months, and co-operated with the school
system in giving course in fire prevention to all
high school students within the city.
Cincinnati, conducting a special campaign to
eliminate the overlooking of electrical circuits, got
10000 fuses of 25 and 80 ampere capacity replaced
by IS ampere fuses.
The Houston, Tex, fire department is sponsor

LABOR AND DEMOCRACY

T'HE American Federation Of Labor has helped to
make democracy work in America by practic-

when the forces Of hatred, oppression and dicta-
torshp have engulfcd most of Europe and are
making threatening gestures toward America, we
of the American Federation of Labor stand stall
wartly in support Of our Government, ready to
work, sacrifice and fight, if necessary, in defense
of the American way of life.-William Green.

;, COMMENT ON WORLD !:
EVENTS
s*.*s.*s-::**.*-.*****..*****.

Have drastic wartime restrictions
and governmental control abolished de-
mocracy in Great Britain? Some say
yes to this question. Let Sir Walter
Citrine, general secretary of the
British Trades Union Congress and
president of the International Fed
Grafton of Trade Unions give British
labor's answer.
Here is Citrine speaking, to the
American Federation of Labor con-
vention at New Orleans:
"What is called bureaucracy in
wartime is something we are deter,
mined to prevent. We are not going
to have 'tin-pot' Hitler's built up in
our constitution during the course of
the struggle we are making against
Hitler.
Having said that, let me put up to
you what l think is an irrefutable
principle. Restrictions of the in
dividual in wartime is an inescapable
concomitant of war. The dictator
ships are able to act decisively and
perhaps more quickly, and unless the
democracies can devise system dur
ing warfare to act just as decisively
and perhaps more quickly than the
relationships, the democracies cannot
survive"
"Therefore," continued Citrin e =,
"when I speak of dictatorship within
our own state and bureaucracy, ETC., |
have in mind this: am not afraid to
trust the people with the exercise of
power who can use that power, but
1 demand the right to keep vigilant
eye upon them in the prosecution of
the struggle to see that they do not
misuse that power.
"Power in Great Britain in wartime
legislatively and from the broadest
social point Of view rests with Par
Lament, and those who follow our
affairs must have noticed on occas-
ions the government has introduced
measures which it has rapidly with
drawn because of the opposition they
encountered in Parliament.
"Outside of Parliament our trade
union movement is heartily cooper
ating in the various state activities.
How can this be regarded as sur
render of democracy? Unless democ-
racy is intelligent enough to perceive
means of speed and action, it is i'm
possible, l repeat, for us to combat
Relationship"
Walter Citrine thus gave British
labor's answer to the question whether
democracy in Britain has gone. And
British labor has fought for democ-
racy for more than hundred years
and ought to know whether it still eX-
lists. 1t knows, as do those who have
closely watched events, that as long
as Parliament has the final say, de-
mocracy has not been destroyed. Curb
ed, in some respects,-yes, but not de-
stroyed.
Citrines speech, in the opinion of
many, gave a devastating blow to ad-
vocates of American participation in
the war, to which American labor is
firmly opposed Appealing for "planes,
planes and more planes" the British
labor chief told the A. F. of l.. con-
vention that labor here as the power
to defeat Nazis Germany without
firing a shot," by speeding up the out
put of planes and other instruments
of war.
Bombing is having an effect on our
output" he added. "Speed is the es-
sence now as never before. | want
you to make the American work shop
the first line of defense of all democ-
racy."
