U.PD-The annual pre-game Bear

and one of them vitality interested
the Georgia football team.
It's star, All-America backfield

everyone from the Georgia water
boy to Coach Wally Butts feared
the worst, although SinkWich tried
to put them at rest.

assistance would not be necessary

ing an offensive forward passing

from the field. He injured his left
ankle a week ago today as the team
went through its final drill be-
fore boarding the train at Athens
Ga, for Pasadena.
To the west, some IS miles away,
the University of California at Los
Angeles didn't seem concerned over
reports of Sinkwich's injury. They
figured it was just another one OF
those stories that the opposing team
brings to throw opponents off

Out, Says Frick

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-U.P0-
President Ford F'rick of the Ma
tional League said today there was
no likelihood of any of the Ma
tional League clubs training in
Florida in 1913 in line with the
general move to curtail wartime
transportation problems.
Prick added that as far as he
could see there was no need for
postponing the opening of the ma
jor league season.
There is no way of knowing, of
course he said, what may de-
yelop in the next few weeks, but
now as see it, the season should
and will open on time
As far as could be determined,
only the Cincinnati Reds remained
committed to training in Florida.
The Dodgers, Giants, Yankees,
Athletics, Cardinals, Pirates, Cubs,
White SoX and Browns all have
made pans to switch to training
sites nearer home. The Pirates,
Cubs, White Soy and Browns all
previously had trained in Califor-
mia while the others used sites
in Florida for their conditioning.

pennies when he was getting his
start in the world, and certainly no
one can overestimate the assistance
that an ambitious woman, who is a
real helpmeet, gives to her hus-
band.
And on the contrary, when a man
is failure, we click our tongues
against our teeth in sympathy and
say: How can you expect a man
to make any headway when he is
weighted down with wife who
keeps his nose to the grindstone
with her extravaganza, or who has
given him chronic dyspepsia by her
bad cooking, or who has broken his
spirit by her henpecking and nag
ging?"
Granted that every wife does have
an important part in deciding her
husbands fate, think it is the
mother who really plays the lead
ing role in determining his destiny.
For while superman may succeed
in spite of being handicapped by a
foolish wife, the man who is ham
dicapped by having had foolish
mother has been deprived Of the
very elements that he requires to
succeed.
A wife's influence can never be
all-powerful with her husband, be-
cause when she gets him his char
acter is formed, his habits fixed,
his goal set; and while she can
modify these and alter them to q
degree, while she can stimulate his
ambitions or wet-blanket them, she
can never completely change him
from what his mother made him.
But his mother has had him from
the beginning. She has made him
what he is. She has set her seal
upon him. He hasn't taste or a
habit that she has not taught him.
He looks at life, death and the
great hereafter through her eyes,
and whether he is strong or weak;
whether he Is stand-patter or
gutter: whether he can stand up
and take the blows of life on the
chin and come up smiling or wheth-
er he is a coward who never even
puts up a fight against hard luck,
depends entirely upon the Ideals
and principles his mother bred into
him. She was the potter who FASH
ioned him; and if the hand of the
potter shook, no other woman can
repair the damage she did.
If Mother has melted down john
ny's backbone while he was still in
the cradle, no wife can supply him
with a spinal column that will en-
able him to stand up to mans
responsibilities If Mother has
spent 20 or Is years in cod
ding and petting Johnny and
saving him from every harsh wind
that blows, no wife can inspire him
with fighting spirit that will make
him go out and do battle with the
world. If Mother has worked while
Johnny loafed, no wife is enough of
a miracle worker to turn him into
a go-getter.
And this difference between a
mothers and a wife's influence calls
attention to what is perhaps the
most curious phase of the whole
matter, and that is that mothers
undervalue their influence over
