Games, Grim And Gay

The crack of the bat the thud of the punters toe
against the footbal-in these things in the autumn
of this year 1941, Americans still bessedly per-
mitted to be interested. The world series and the
football season. these hold briefly our attention. while
across the world people watch and play their parts in
a grmmer game.
Does it seem irresponsible for a great nation to
rivet it's attention the hop of sharphit baseball
the spiral flight Of defty tossed forward pass
while there is being fought what may prove to have
been the bloodiest battle the world has ever seen
We think not In spite of wars, revolutions. and
all the tumults of the social organizations life must
60 on. No can forget Caryles vivid picture Of
how in Paris during the most shocking horrors of the
Reign of Terror, thousands went the ways of their
daily life quite needless of all these things. The
pitcher must go to the WE'LL and the clothes must go to
the laundry in the face of the greatest and most
world-shaking events
Business cans be "as usual" and life can't be "as
usua' in these days The overwhelming stark fact Of
war throws it's shadow over every activity of man
throughout the world Yet man is constituted that
in the face of the most overpowering disasters, he
grasps for such pleasures as he can and finds them
good
If British people who may before any mornings
SUN rises, be bombed into eternity, spend those
evenings at the movies (and they do) there good
why the people of the United States should not
sit cheering in the stands while yet they may.
Get out into the glorious fall weather. then, and
cheer your team Try to put out of your mind for
few hours that other game that is being played with
the hearts blood of men and women for stake no less
than the freedom Of the world.
It's terrible unsolved question: it's innings not yet
played, it's outcome not yet determined, will be wait
ing when you leave the stadium.
Now is the time when your small son would
rather be right tackle than president.
Most brides expect to be kept in all the little
luxuries to which they haven't been accustomed.

Oil That Troubles The Waters

new attempt is under way to settle the oil
controversy with Mexico which has bubbled friously
for three years though it has been turbulent since
1917
Through the highest officials Of the us. State
Department, Mexico offers to place $9OO00OO in
escrow pending final appraisal of the appropriated
properties of certain American companies. II the
companies accept this sum would be regarded as pre-
inary to final settlement the difference to be made
up later either in oil or in dollars.
This proposal at least has the merit of definite
ness and it appears about the only of approach
to solution since private negotiations with Standard
and several other companies broke down year ago.
In the meantime however, the Sinclair interests
cepted $8,5OO,OOO for their claims.
How close an approximation of justice would be
done by accepting this tentative Offer and building
final settlement it, is matter of the utmost COM
plexity. The affected companies, including in their
idea of the value of their properties all the value OF
the oil reserves beneath them, have made estimates
as high $150,00000O. Mexico has taken the posi-
ton that she owes nothing for the value of the oil in
the ground but that she would pay only for the sur
face properties Of the companies. These one group
OF Mexican experts appraised at $4O OOOOOO out
set off against that many claims for taxes and back
wages that the companies feared nothing at all would
be left for them such basis The present proposal
would appear to guarantee against any such result;
to be roughly comparable to the Sinclair settlement.
The tracing of this controversy down from the
original concessions to American oil men in the early
1900s the new Mexican constitution Of 1917 which
specifically reserved subsurface resources to the
people of Mexico the Bucarei and Morrow agree
ments in 1923 and 1927 and the appropriation of 1888
is matter Of history. The present situation is
mot theory but fact" Whether the proposal will
prevent substantial and actual loss to the companies
and American investors involved is the Immediate
question: whether cheats them of profits that they
had every right to expect they going to make i'll
the future is something else again.
Only an independent, technically brilliant and
highly dsinterested expert say whether substan
al justice is contained in the Mexican offer. In
view Of the desirability Of settlement, however, in
which not merely stockholders but all the peoples Of
both countries have interest," the offer should have
the gravest and most careful consideration from the
longest possible point of view.
If We get around to clothes rationing, of the
ladies are bound to become irrational.

made a total of 16 straight strikes.
That's a record to be proud Of.

"A Scoring Drill
spartans TO Fry TO Remedy Offensive Stalled at
Goal Line in Wayne Game; TO Use Sophs

"Of course, we're not under

yesterday as he ran the Spar
tans through light scrimmage.
"We've always had trouble with
them and I'm going TO start our
first team, but / do hope to try
several of the more promising
sophomores."
Among the sophomores slated
to receive attention is Morgan
Gingrass. a 190-pound back from
Marquette. Gingrass has been all

toned well in practice for the last
few days.
Despite his weight, Gingrass

EAST LANSING, Oct. "a
Twice beaten Michigan State will
attempt to coordinate a goal line
offensive-the kind which was so
sadly lacking last week against
Santa Clara--when il plays host
to Wayne University tomorrow on
Macklin Field.
The Spartans still have such
tough encounters TO look forward
to as Missouri, Purdue, Temple
and West Virginia. and in their
past performances this season,
the chief difficulty has been goal
line punch.
Although the Spartan gridders
outplayed Santa Clara last Sat-
urday and have shown the ability
10 gain both on ground and in
the air. they have only Tailed
three touchdowns in three games.
With the game already relegated
to the breather class, Coach
Charley Bachman will have an ex-
cellent opportunity TO use various
combinations under actual fire in
an effort to solve the Spartans

What about the boys reaction
after the game?
Naturally they feel pretty
bad II they are beaten. When
they win they are usually very
free with their praise OF their
fellow players and tho opposi-
tion," Crisler answered.
The toughest Job / have had
was going into the dressing
room after the Minnesota game
last year. Our kids did every
thing we told them 70. They
played the Gophers of their
feet and their reward was a de-
feat. They had worked hard and
those boys playing for tho last
