EVIDENTLY FAVORS UTOPIAN
DREAMERS

To the Forum:
A reply to the editorial of June
Ill, Beware of Utopian Dreamers."
The tone of this editorial is one
which any straight thinking person
should view with alarm" On its
face, it is a hard-headed view of
the world situation, but underneath
| it lies an undercurrent of discour-
agement-an attempt to discourage
humanity from striving for, or at
least hoping for better social
existence
DR.. Conant in his baccaulaureate
sermon lays much of the blame for
the present mess in which mankind
now finds itself" at the feet of a
class Of Utopian dreamers who "have
/ exerted much influence during the
last 20 years" Surely, DR.. Conant
doesn't mean that group Of "Uto-
plan dreamersn who financed Shear
er to successfully defeat the Genoa
Naval Limitations Conference in
1927, nor the Thyssens, the M.
Schneiders, the Krupps, the Ia
haroffs, the Deterdings and all the
rest who were the financial hackers
of the dictators and the Fascist
movement in Europe; nor the ''Uto-
plan dreamers" who Wholehearted-
ly gave their financial support to
the Fascist rebel Franco to crush
the democracy of Spain; nor those
governmental heads who scrapped
. the peace plan of the last real
Utopian dreamer Woodrow Wilson,
to better their own interests after
the last war. This list is limited
: only by the time spent to investi-
gate the records and could 60 on
indefinitely. But the point is this:
the mistakes of the last 20 years
J have not been due to the Utopian
dreamer, but to quite the opposite
type of person.
. The impression left by this edito-
rial is that mans destiny is or
dained and that it is useless to hope
for any marked Improvement in
the world Of tomorrow. Man must
I make the best of his plight in this
! life, aided by the somewhat dubi-
Gus consolation that he may have 6
! better time of it in the next.
, As long as the worlds press and
: educational institutions foster anc
| disseminate this fatalistic doctrine
people will believe it. And as Ions
J as people believe it, the social anc
4 economic forces which drag hui
! mainly through an endless process
! sion of famines, depressions anc
wars will flourish.
Those who have reason to encour-
. age this philosophy are the real
| hindrance to the creation of a bet
ter world, not the Utopian dreamers

THE DAYS
SPORTS PARADE

as follows: Midwest - Minnesota;
East-Fordham; Southern - Duke;
Southeastern - Alabama; Pacific
Coast - California; Big Six = Mis-
souri,; Southwest-Texas Aggies, and
Rocky Mountain-Utah
The big fight for the national
title, as we see it from a distance.
will be among Minnesota, FOrdham,
Notre Dame and California. Ford
ham, like Minnesota, lost its head
coach. Both Sleepy Jim Crowley of
the Rams and Bernie Bierman of
the Gophers have gone into service
and are coaching teams of the fly
ing corps. But at Fordham, Earl
Walsh-successor to Crowley and
one of his longtime assistants-is
building another great team, an out
fit blessed with two great back
fields, aid an aggregation that
should compare favorably with any
in the land.
NOTRE DAME TOUGH
In the Midwest, Notre Dame will
challenge Minnesota for supremacy.
but we fear that the Irish, shifting
from the traditional Rockne system
TO the T formations of Coach Frank
Leahy, will not be as effectively for
midable as usual, despite their col
lection of talent and despite Angelo
Bertelli. their passing ace.
From the Golden West comes word
that the University of California
at last IS ready to toss in an outfit
that will challenge any in the coun-
try. The Golden Bears, one of the
few West Coast teams to retain
their original coach, seem to fulfill
any dream ever experienced by
Coach Stub Allison. They have
big squad Of returning lettermen
and the fresh blood of an excep-
tionally fine crop of sophomores.
They seem destined to make the
coast and the country forget about
Oregon State, last seasons confer
ence and Rose Bowl winner Ore
gon State will be strong again, but
probably Lot strong enough.

By JACK CUDDY

NEW YORK, Sept. l. CUP)-As
the nations collegiate football play
ers swing into training, there IS
much cogitation among the fans
in the various sections regarding
the merits of various teams.
To save the fans further trouble.
we give them now what might be
called the Cuddy table Of winners
in every area. 1t is all very simple
this presentation of the winning
team. And nothing can prevent the
ultimate success Of the Cuddy plan
if the teams come through and win
as designated which they should
after being given the inspiration
of our forecast.
s64 QUESTION
Answering Immediately the S64
question-what will be the out
standing team Of the 1912 season?
we will say, right off, "Minneso-
ta."
Explaining, We will add that the
Golden Gophers lot only will re-
peat for the Big Ten title. but they
will establish the strongest claim
TO the mythical national crown,
despite the challenge of % Ford
ham in the east, and % California
OH the Pacific Coast. OF course,
Notre Dame, a Midwest independ-
ent, will demand consideration, as
always, but we don't believe the
South Bend aggregation will be
among the three we have men,
toned in the stretch running.
Why do we like Minnesota? Well
its a sort of habit, like respect
ing policemen. Also, the Gophers
have 20 lettermen returning from
the team that plowed through last
seasons schedule unbeaten and un-
tied to take the Big Ten title and
file a robust claim 10 the national
bonnet.
SECTIONAL WINNERS
If our fans insist upon pinning
us down. we will name the sectional
winners according 10 their areas,

SEATTLE, Sept. l. CUP) The
crying towel is standard equipment
for most football coaches and Ralph
CPesD Welch is no exception.
Taking over at the University of
Washington after II years as assist
ant to James M. Phelan, the former
Purdue ALI American halfback sings
a song of woe insofar as the chances
of the Huskies coping the Pacific
Coast Conference title are concern
ed Welch believes Southern Cali
fornia and Oregon State will fight
it out for top honors with Washing
ton engaging the other teams in a
dog fight for the crumbs that are
left.
Welch succeeded Phelan last VIM

80 PLAYERS
The Husky aggregation consists
of 80 players. Nineteen of the num-
Der are sophomores.
Welch has a word of cheer, how
ever, referring to couple of Sopho-

is over"
He meant Fred Provo, fast back

DODGERS SPORT
SHAKY LEAD AS
FLAG drive ON

NEW YORK, Sept. /. CUP)-The
Brooklyn Dodgers and st. Louis
Cardinals entered the home stretch
in their drive for the National
league pennant today and the re-
mainder of the schedule offered no
advantage for either club.
The Dodgers have a 81 game lead
over the Red Birds but the way the
Cards have been chopping that
margin down, it's not enough of a
stop-gap DO give Hrookly'a any
peace of mind.
AS for the schedule. Brooklyn has
81 games to go and the Cardinals
have 25. The Dodgers wind up their
last road trip in few days at Bos-
ton and then return to the friendly
confines of Eibbets Field for the
balance of their games. It is just
the opposite for the Cardinals who
will shortly hit the road for the
greater part OF their remaining
games.
But the Dodgers have II games
scheduled against the tough west
ern clubs including a tWo-game set
with the Cards at Brooklyn on Sept.
II. st. Louis has three games with
the Braves, three with the Phils
and four with the Cubs. all soft
touches for the Red Birds.
The Dodgers have seven to go
with the Phils but have four each
with the Pirates and Reds and three
with te Giantc-&il of whom can
provide tough opposition since
Brooklyn's hitting has become spot
ty with the loss of Pete Reiser.
Their only chance, apparently, is
to continue to have sterling pitch
ing and with that end in view, a
deal was consummated with the
Senators for the acquisition of Buck
NeWSom yesterday.
The Dodgers boosted their lead a
half game over the idle Cards yes
terday by defeating the Pirates, 5-4,
IN II innings. Elbie Fletcher's wild
throw on an easy toss tor what
would have been the final out in
the 18th gave Brooklyn the Win
Curt Davis, fourth Dodger pitcher
who relieved Larry French in the
10th, won his 18th game of the
year.
The Giants belted Bill Lee from
the Box with five-run splurge in
the first inning and then raped
Vern Olsen for two more in the
seventh, defeating the Cubs. 7-6.
Elmer Riddle walked eight men
but pitched effectively enough to
bring the Reds an 81 success over
the Phils last night.
In the American league, Alley
Dc1.ald-after five years with the
Yanks-finally defeated the Tigers
for the first time, 8-3. Donald held
the Tigers to six hits for his sixth
win and lost a shutout in the ninth
when Detroit rallied for three runs
on three hits and Donald's own
error sandWiched around an infield
out.
Tex Hughson won his 18th victory
as the Red SoX defeated the Browns,
