about Football

Lou Little said some time ago that
1912 would be footballs best often
sive season. Columbia's mandarin
makes few bad guesses. 1t will
take some remarkable defensive
formations to keep the combined
speed and power under check which
most teams have to meet.
That Missouri backfield will be
one of the best. 1t has speed, drive

been the same ever since.
Now he is on his way back to his
old artillery job, and whether you
like him or not, the army will. And
that happens to be the main idea.
Then and No,U
Larry MacPhail is no longer a
kid. 1t has been almost "a years
since that night in France where
refugees, stray army outfits and
complete confusion almost blocked
the road which MacPhail helped to
open for his guns.
Since that time he has been the
major factor in building up two pen
nant winners in the National league
first, Cincinnati's Reds, then
BrOoklyn's Dodgers.
There have been many times
when he looked to be hard and ruth
less, but he was always smart. AS
someone has said, "MacPhai's mis-
takes, and he had made many, have
always been about minor matters.
He has yet to make mistake that
was important"
If the charge that he has been
hard and ruthless is true, there
could be no bigger boost when it
comes to the matter of winning this
war.

let nature take it's course. He's
against the dictators.
He came here three years ago and
has been revitalizing and restimu-
lating Greta Carlo, Alice Marble,
Elisabeth Bergner, Antoine de
Paris, Jessica Dragonette, Gabriel
Pascal and other eminent persons
who may safely be revivifed with
out any danger of their becoming
Frankensteins. At luncheon, he ex-
tolled sauerkraut as an energy
builder The fact is that sauerkraut
had lot to do with tipping Horthy
and ousting Mr.. Vasarhelyi.
When Horthy was a minor
naval officer, the men in the
fleet went on strike, saying they ,
would rather be shot than eat
another yard Of sauerkraut. Dis
Obeying the orders of his COM
mander, HOrthy seized cruiser
and made the sailors eat sauer-
kraut, days on end, at the point
of gun. Its inspiring effects
were such that Horthy was re-
warded by being made chief adj
miral of the, fleet. He ate still
more sauerkraut and reached
out and grabbed the country.
Mr.. Vasarhelyi's career is one of
the most unique in the backwash of
the first World war, lying as it does
in the overlapping zone of politics
and dietetics. He thinks food has a
profound and determining effect on
individual and collective human be-
havior and that scientists will some
day read history in terms of
starches and proteins. His political
career came to peak in dramatic
climax in 1917, when he helped ease
out the monarchy and bring in the
liberal Count Karolyi as premier.
MIR. Vasarhelyi is 70, trim and
erect, clear-skinned and hard as
nails. He ascribes this to the
fact that he practices what he
breaches. He thinks demOcra-
tized Danubian federation will
shape up after the war, and that
Europe will be reorganized on
sound economic and biological
fundamentals. Roughly, these
two fields of interest have filed
his life, but he puts the main
stress on the latter. Much
devastating human activity he
thinks may be traced to food
poisoning

Of course, skill is important, speed

FARM PARITY FIGHT

To Roosevelt advisers, the farm
parity fight was an ominous runner
up of what many of them expect
during the next two years-IF the
November elections turn sour for the
Democrats. 1t left people little
worried around the White House.
Up until now, the White House has
been confident that the house of rep
resentatives would remain Demo-
cratic-despite the warning of Chair
man Ed Flynn that the Middle West
and probably California would 60
Republican.
So the fight over farm parity was
a shock; and administration leaders
shrink from the prospect of fac
ing that type of congressional bat
ting for two long years to come.
But, if the Republicans organize the
house, or even if the Democratic
majority is appreciably cut, that is
exactly what will happen.
Three reasons are given, back
stage, for the faulty handling which
resulted in the terrific farm battle.
l. The President himself, who
couched his message to congress in
terms of such a strong ultimatum,
rather than the usual Roosevelt pep
talk strategy at which he is so adept.
Incidentally, the speech was writ
ten in large part by brusque, bull
doing Leon Henderson.
2. Speaker Sam Rayburn, who
dropped his usual kindness and
stor1nily told congressional friends
that the President had promised him
not to send farm price sterilization
message until later. Rayburn's at
titude was a tip-of in deeds if not
words '"To vote as you please,
boys"
3. Price Car Leon Henderson,
who was considered the political
ogre and bogeyman for whom the
farm sterilization bill was being
passed.
