VXTHY should the govern

be inefficient?

The people control ii.
Because the citizens are in
different to their rights and

The power of government
is the privilege of the people.
The success of government
must be the responsibility of
the people.
As you, thoughtful reader,
and this writer are a part of
the great body of the people,
and as "we the people" must
remedy the evil Of crime along
with all the other errors and
evils of our democracy, we
might as well become ac-

our obligation.

Code Revised to Provide

PorIey Continues
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, Jan. 17,-Owners of
National pro league football clubs
today plunged into another round
of informal discussions on a pro-
poSal to set up a ruler similar to
baseball's Commissioner K. M
Lands.
The magnates prepared the way
for formal action at their regular
April meeting by rewriting a part of
the leagues constitution yesterday
inserting clause that provides for
a commissioner.
Already reported under considera-
ton was Avery Brundage, chairman
of the American Olympic Commit
tee and former president of the Ma
tional A. A. U. Brundage, a Chi
cago contractor, was an all-around
athlete at Illinois 20 years ago.
The unofficial meeting yesterday
ran into a night session and was
carried over for another day prin-
cipally to permit Curley Lambeau,
coach of the Green Bay Packers. to
join in the discussions. Green Bay
was the only club not represented

they stood off the attack and then
took up where they left off them
selves, extensively.
Speculation relative to the George
town-Maryland game tonight ap-
pears to be limited to whether the
Terps can hold down the score.
Last year the Hoyas, with a vastly
inferior team to the 1941 edition,
dropped a 1-point verdict to the
TerpS, who, in turn, are far weaker
than they were year ago.
More light was thrown on WASH

47-45, in bristling battle. The

elusive, just as was the case when

No Menace to Reds Is Feared
In Lon1burdIs HoIdout Talk

I This has a familiar ring. Last
year the big catcher did the same
thing, though for different reasons.
Then he was on the downswing after
his unhappy accident in the 1899
World Series-widely and unfeeling-
ly described as "Ernie's wan dive
and a few scattered tomtoms were
beating for his scalp.
Yet in the early days of March,
Ernie rumbled into Tampa, blew on
his writing hand, and signed up.
Such differences as may exist this
year should be easily compromised
to the mutual advantage of the
champions of all baseball and their
No. l catcher.
