There is a suspicion Scout Joe

Kvasnak, a bespectacled Czecho-

Kvasnak. who drapeS 172

Cambria modestly rates KvaS-

discoveries and in time he may
justify Joe's prolific praise. He

ST may be wrong, but I believe
you can take more of a beating on
the mental and nerve side than you
can on the physical side. When
used to pick up those sevens in
championship round, and got more
than my share of those, the tempta-
ton to ease up and forget it all was
pretty strong. You get the feeling
there's no use fighting it out at that
particular time"
This is all true. I recall Gene
Sarazen, one of our finest golf COM
petitors, once saying you can't win
a big championship with 'sevens.'
II battle to try to keep from get
ting any sixes," Gene said.
But Bobby Jones' championship
cards were studded with sevens. He
had a seven at Hoylake in his Grand
Slam march-when it took him five
strokes to get down after he was
only 40 yards from the green in two.
He had a killing seven at Scioto,
but he won. He had two sevens on
the last 10 holes at Winged Foot, but
he went on to win the playoff.

Alonzo Stagg-The Grand Old
Man of football has just finished his
fifty-second season as a football
coach. Although close to 80, Mr..
Stagg still gets in set or two of ten
mis- at every chance, and he is still
one of the most active coaches on
the practice field. When the veteran
coach took up golf around 40 years
ago he broke 80 several times in
his first season of play. He is still
looking forward to spring practice
at the College of the Pacific. An ALL
American at Yale, he also was a top

The Big Word

Words, as rule, are unimportant,
when the air is full of flying steel.
But in this same connection we still
recall conversation with a hard
bitten colonel of the First division
in France early in 1918, when the
German army, apparently, was
about to break through.
I happened to bring up the matter
of courage. The First division
colonel gave me cold look.
Courage" he said, sis secondary.
Most people and most nations have
courage. The big word is 'fortitude. >
This is far more important word
than courage.
"Fortitude, of course, includes
courage. But it goes far beyond.
Fortitude means both physical and
mental stamina. It means the abil-
ity to carry on job that might be
dull and uninteresting. 1t means
giving all you've got to give, out
side of the spotlight. In football
way, it means the blocking back,
who clears the road for the ball car
rier. 1t means sacrificing yourself
for the cause.
"In this war, those up around the
front may get killed, but they get
all of the excitement. Those back
of the lines get the drudgery, minus
the thrills. You'll find that almost
all of those back of the lines would
much rather be up where the ex-
element is. 1t takes more fortitude
to do your work in a place where
there is little chance for any thrills,
little chance for any publicity or any
reward"

Our Anger

Anger is an affected madness,
compounded of pride and folly,
and an intention to do common
ly more mischief than it can bring
to pass; and, without doubt, of
all passions which actually dis
turb the mind of man, it is most
in our power to extinguish, at
least, to suppress and correct, our
anger.-Clarendon.

Hearts and Understanding

Men, as well as women, are
oftener led by their, hearts than
their understandings. The way to
the heart is through the senses;

most good health and most bad
health"
We've printed their diets and their
suggestions plain foods, simple
fOOds--and not too much of it. But
many of these coaches and trainers,
who know their trade, brought in an
other angle-this was the mental
side, which has direct bearing on
the about war today.
'The best football player" lead
ing coach wrote me, "needs some
thing more than size and speed and
physical fitness. He must be able to
sacrifice himself for the good of the
team. He must be able to take
punishment-an like it-for the
cause he is fighting for. He must
be willing to give up all outside
pleasures that conflict in any way
with the main idea, which is to win.
Only those who have this frame of
mind or really worthwhile. The
others are only good when things
are rolling their way.
Football Is no game for those
easily discouraged. Mental fiber is
even more important than phys
ical fiber-and mental fiber means
giving all you have in the direction
of victory, no matter what the odds.
We might call it intestinal forti-
tude,' a phrase the late Dan Nc
Gugin of Michigan and Vanderbilt

Nv GOULD LINCOLN.

Wendell L. Willkie, Repub-
lican presidential cadidate in
1910, answering "ls blunt ques-
tions" put to him by Look Mag
azine, throws additional light on
his own position in politics, in the
present war effort and in his at
titude toward the Roosevelt ad-
ministration. Very properly, an
swering a question as to whether
he intends to be . candidate for
President again in 1914, Mr.. Will
kie replied: whether or not III
be a candidate know no better
than the person who puts the
question" The presidential elec-
ton is more than two years IN the
future and neither Mr.. Willkie
nor any one else can say today
with certainty what the issues
will be when that time rolls
around.
Mr.. Willkie did say, however:

periences, when the italians sur
rendered to the enemy in a mass.
The spirit in the Italian Navy
Is not much better, although there
have been no instances yet in
which italian naval commanders
have struck their flag. The Ital-
ian men Of war fight whenever
they have overwhelming supe-
riority, otherwise they turn and
make the best use OF the high
speed OF their excellent warships
in retreat. 1t is said, however, by
reliable observers who have had
opportunities to talk to Italian
naval officers in recent months
that the presence Of German
planes in the Mediterranean, act
ing frequently as escorts for the
Italian warships, have prevented
Fascist captains from escaping
and surrendering. They are blunt

would not hesitate to bomb any
Italian vessel which attempted to
go over to the enemy. Some 1tal-

He denied that he had, or in
tended to form, any personal po-
litical organization OF any kind.
He remains, OF course. a potential
candidate for President, although
he does not use that language.
Next to Mr.. WILKES state
ment on the possibility Of his
presidential candidacy, his an
swer to q question regarding the
efficacy Of the Roosevelt admin
istration's measures to minimize
labor trouble during the war
seems to hold the greatest sig
nificance. In addition to saying
that, In his opinion, the admins
tration's attitude toward labor
has been vacillating and confus-
ing, Mr.. Willkie declared: I'm all
the piecemeal measures that have
been tried, not once has the
President offered labor q real
share In the Government. This
must ultimately be done for the
effective conduct OF the war and
peace to follow"
Meaning Is Not Clear.
1t would be interesting II Mr..
Willkie would amplify this state
ment. Just what does he mean
by . real share in the Govern
ment"? Does he mean, for ex-
ample, that labor leaders should
be given high official position
the Office of Secretary Of Labor
and perhaps other cabinet or
or equally high position in con-
nection with the development
OF the war program? The admin
istration has In the past lent q
sympathetic ear to organized
labor's demands. This Is true
since the United States went to
war as we'll as before 1t. When
the ONCE Of Production Manage
ment was set up, Sidney Hillman
was made co-head Of that organ
ization with 1t. Gen. william
Knudsen. It was Mr.. Hillman's
office to represent the admins
tration and labor in laying down
policies which should govern with
regard to labor's part in war
production. The administration
is even pow engaged in putting a
halt to congressional action to
suspend the payment Of time and
q half for all work in excess Of
20 hours a week. 1t has been
strongly opposed to any so-called
anti-strike legislation. Indeed,
50 friendly to organized labor has
the administration been that 1t

cept the presidency. This takes
him out Of consideration for the
gubernatorial nomination In New
York this year. Mr.. Willkie also
made 1t clear that he does not
wish to take any ONCE under the
Roosevelt administration-unless
an occasion should arise In the
national emergency when his
services are needed. Then. he
would, OF course, serve. This he
has explained to the President.
He does not wish to have his
right to comment on the policies
OF the administration curtailed.
Nor does Mr.. WillNe believe
that the establishment Of . new
political party is feasible, under
the laws Of most Of the States.
1t is his opinion that the coun-
try will continue to operate under
the two-party system-even as to
names.
