Bv LEWIS +. ATCHISON.

The mere mention of "Bo' Nc
Millins magical name brings men
tai f1ashback to that SUM- n-drenched
afternoon of October 90, 1922, when
hardy, lusty band of "Prayin'
Colonels' from little Centre College
rubbed proud Harvard's nose in the
hallowed turf of Soldier Field. It's
one of the most inspiring chapters
of football, a triumph that never
will be obliterated by the ravages
of time.
"Bo" was in town yesterday on
the last lap of 9 goodwill tour
among Indiana alumni, and, nat
urally, one of the first topics to pop
up was the Centre Harvard game
of %. It's long story and "Bo
has just finished writing it for a
magazine. but he gave us con-
densed version in between telephone
calls in his hotel room.
Started in Fort Worth.
This story has a moral to it
he began, because it starts back
in North Side High School, Fort
Worth, Tex. with Old Chief" Myers
He always dreamed of going back to
his alma mater, that was Centre, as
football coach, and of beating one
of the big teams. He kept telling
us we all were going up there to-
gether and see that dream come
true, but we really never thought
it would happen until one day we
found ourselves enrolled at Centre.
But the Chief" wasn't coaching
US. He told us one day he was
going out and hire a better coach
than himself so he could realize the
rest of his ambition and he signed,
Charley Moran.

our victim and we didn't take any
pushover. 1t hadn't lost a game
since the Yale game of Is and after
we met EN- in 1921 those boys still
hadn't lost a game. They were
good.
After the game thelr captain,
Arnold Harween, came into our
dressing room and held out the
pall to me-
"'Bo, he said. "Our fellows want
you to have this"
Il still was all wrought up about
losing the game and deep down in
side 1 felt We could beat them, so !
told him We couldn't take the ball
even though his offer was mighty
sporting and generous. We stuck by
the rule that the winning team kept
the ball.
But you give us game next
year and we'll take it home with us,
I told him, And it won't be any
gift either
He laughed and shook hands on
the deal.
Gets Players to Stay.
When We got home I got to
thinking more and more about the
game and figured that if we just
thought about playing Harvard
throughout the year we could whip
ourselves into a frame of mind to
win The only trouble was several

LOCAL EMPLOYMENT OFFICE Is GETTING "SET"
FOR RECORD BREAKING PLACEMENTS In 194l
Placepents in 1911 Exceeded Those of Previous Years
More Employers Used Service; Shortage of
Skilled Mechanics, But Even This Prob
lem Will Be Solved by 1900 Trsinees

With universal predictions that
1871 will be the Boom Year of
Boom Years." the local office of
the Maryland State Employment
Service is making every effort to
serve employers both in Hagers-
town and Washington County
Approximately 100 men and
women were placed in industry
last year by the local office, but
with the National Defense pro-
gram getting under way here this
number will be exceeded, in 1941,
according to the employment office
officials.
Probably the greatest effort
being made to supply skilled work
ers to private industry in Hagers-
town is now under way at the
Employment office. The extensive
vocational training program spon-
sored by the Board of Education,
and in which the employment SER
vice is taking an important part,
is now proceeding smoothly and
within comparatively few weeks
several hundred youths will have
completed their various courses

and will be assigned to jobs in
local plants. Three classes will be
conducted and at least 1900 young
men will be enrolled.
The Vocational courses are being
conducted here as a direct result
OF a shortage of skilled mechanics,
it is reported however. there are
still available unemployed men
and women in many other semi
skilled and unskilled occupations
and employers are again urged to
avail themselves of the services
offered by the Employment Office.
During the past year, Employ
ment Office officials state that
more employers used the service
than in previous years which would
indicate that the old methods of
advertising for help is fast disap-
pearing. The advantage offered by
the Maryland State Employment
Service is that the offices are in
a position to submit to the employer
a complete work history of the pros
pective employee. which in itself
is invaluable in making competent
selections.

All estimates made prior to
last Tuesday have been thrown
into the waste basket and today
the Democratic MayoraIty NOM
ination belongs to anybody. Prob
ably the best reason for the big
registration lies in the fact that
there are approximately thirty
Democratic candidates for the
five Council posts, and all of
these candidates on Tuesday
were busy with the job of getting
their friends to the polls. And
that, too, brings up an interesting
point just who do these can
didates favor for the MayoraIty

their support to that candidate
on Primary Day? There is dis
tinct possibility that this will be
done in many cases, and if they
proves correct a bundle of real
