OANt INV OORAS
~ of the Book"
Yesterday I received an inquiry
concerning the review which had
not yet printed However, 1
now apologize TO the publishers
for taking so long in presenting
their book to the Southern Jewish
public through this publication :.
1 merely wanted to take a little
time to discover wherein lies the
quaint charm of the publication !.
A cold review of 1.-The People
of the Book" would state that
Samuel Rosenblatt very ably as
sembled in 1877 pages the history
biblical and ancient of the Jew
ish people and their relations and
contributions to other faiths.
Along with a political history of
the Jews Rosenblatt' presents,
also, a picture of Jewish think
ing, which includes short discus
sions of the writer's and the sages
of the people of the book.
Yet, containing all this infOrma-
ton in only 137 pages, the book
is readable, and contains a GER
tain warmth that stems from the
authors feeling for his people.
The authors religious outlook
dominates the book. Yet, even
secularist reading the book would
forgive him for that, because it
is in Rosenblatt's deep feeling for
the Jew which gives the books its
distinction.
Rabbi ROsenblatt exhibits many
tricks of theme development
which also adds to the books
charm. For instance, he begins
quite a few of the chapters with
opinions of the Jew by GentileS
and then very gently maneuvers
around the opinions to present to
the reader only what is best in
the Jew
Rabbi Samuel Rosenblatt's book
1.-THE People of the Book" is
thumb nail description of five
thousand years of Jewish living
told by an expert in fluent
manner which makes easy read

Rabbi ROSenblatt is lecturer on
Jewish literature at the Johns
Hopkins University.

Rockingham RumbIes

Salem, N. H., Nov. 18 New Hampshire today became the first state in the nation to exceed its quota for the National War Fund when Lou Smith, executive manager of Rockingham Park, turned over to 8 representative of the fund a check for 1,337.75.
 The contribution was a result of double header staged at the old Rock on ArmiStice Day, when rec ord crowd wagered more than ST. 300 000, and the fund realized, al most to the dollar, the amount that Smith had predicted. At the check passing ceremony F. Donald Cor don. state director, represented the War Fund and Maurice H. Dubic assistant chief field deputy, repre- sented the Internal Revenue De- partment.
 Ut is a small part of the turf's total contribution to the war ef- fort" said Smith, but 1t was made possible by the good will of the pub lie which for the past II years, has supported racing at Rockingham Park and in New England. I want to thank the general public for its generosity and Its patronage. The tracks of New England have played an honorable part in a contribution which, on a countrywide basis. has exceeded $7,000.o00 in the two years since Pearl Harbor, but they could not have done so without the whole hearted support of the racing pub- lie"

The unbeaten New Haven Annex and Naugatuck Rangers gridiron clubs will play under intercollegiate rules Sunday afternoon at Hamilton park in a contest winch means "do or die" for the borough team as far as their state championship aspira- tions go. The Annex has been un- defeated all season while the Rang CTS have lost one and been tied once.
 In their opening meeting at Ham, ilton park several weeks ago, the Rangers compelled their "gu ,sts" to play professional rules which would give Naugy's highly touted Flying Circus" an opportunity to function at will Next Sundays event being a "home" tilt for New Haven, in- ercollegiate rules will be the order f the day at the request of the Annex who will this time be play ing the role of host.
 The decisive spanking which the Annex meted out to the Rangers in that three touchdown final quar- ter stung the cocky boroughites so much that to this day they refuse to concede the superiority of the New Haveners, claiming that they were lucky" Oddly enough the enc touchdown which the Rangers scored against the Annex that day was the only time this season that the victors' goal has been crossed.

Field Goals Are Nearly Lost Art

Chicago, November IT. - (SpeciaD - Field goal kicking, official Na- tional Football League figures would seem to indicate, rapidly is becoming lest art. The professionals, who heretofore have been partial to the three-point method of scoring. are only making 1T per cent of their attempts this season against 39 per cent last year.
 Including last weeks games, the pros have tried as many attempts on the average as ever before, but such veterans as Augie Lio of De- troit, Chet Adams and Don Huston of Green Bay, Bob Snyder of the Bears, and Bruiser Kinard of Brooklyn, are finding it more diff cult to place their attempts within the required limits.
 Ball OK.
 Some players place the blame on she ball, but examination has re- vealed no difference between the present ball and the pre-Pearl liar DOT variety.
 No one complains about the ball while kicking extra points, however. Snyder, for instance, already has tied Hutson's league record of 33 conversions in season and Hutson himself has a chance of equaling the mark. Hutson has kicked 27 without miss :n eight games. Sny- der has missed on three, but got over eight against New York to set new game mark on Sunday.
 Only 15 out of 1853 extra points at tempts have failed in the first 30 games this season and several Of these misses were due to fumbles on the part of the holder and bad passes from center.

Ice FoIIies Play Elm City Dec. 13

New Haven, November 18. - It has often bee'' said that sports fans are tickle, and that the celebrities of the sports world are quick to forget - but that's two base error where the Ice Follies of 1914 and skating show fans are concerned.
 The ice fans have strongly sup ported the FollieS during the past six years, as atteSted by the sell-out houses in other years and this year in SanFrancisco, Los Angeles and Chicago. And in turn the Foll.es management of Oscar Johnson and Roy and Eddie Shipstad aren't quick to forget. That's why the Follies will stop in New Haven for 3 weeks engagement beginning Monday, December 13. One matinee is listed for the final day, December 19.
 This year traveiing conditions are pad. Hotel accommodations are hard to get. And the FollieS per- formers liked the home cooking and their own beds in California. They couldn't see any sense in travelling, suffering inconveniences, when they were playing to sell-out houses.
 But the Shipstads and Johnson thought of the "debt they owed" the cities which played host to them in other days, when travelling and housing was easier. Rather thar iisappoint the people in those cities they planned 8 road tour. limited by war time emergency, but taking in as many of their old stops as possi- ole. New Haven is fortunate enough to be une of those stops, and by the way the mail orders are .oming in for tickets, the people of Connecticut will welcome the Follies with open arms.

A Little Of
 This And Thot
By JOHN A. CLUNEY

New Y0rk Yankees, baseball champions of the world, have given Asbury Park, N. J., the well-known brushoff in favor of Atlantic City, where they will have the benefit of big National Guard Armory for indoor work, when the weather is bad. Bader Field, where the Tanks will train outdoors is large enough for two teams, but the Tanks New ark Bears farm club vii hot be seen there, vice-president George Weiss announced. In case you didn't know or have forgotten and are interested, the current worlds poe ket-billiard champ is not Ralph Greenleaf, but good old Handy An dy Ponzi, who was whopped l25 to 63 yesterday by Joe Procita in special match III which Procita is leading Ponzi 3-2 in blocks. They are playing at Julian's 14th Street Academy. A long Boola-Boola for Yale's Reggie Root who has an undefeated, united football team in his first year as varsity coach at Hillhouse High and bids fair to share state honors this season with Boots Jarvis Ansonia High outfit. For every point its opponents has scored. Hlllhouse has FIVE. An inter- esting high football item comes from New London where Chapman Tech has been undefeated but held to a scoreless tie by Billy O'Brien's New London Bulkeley team; yet, in SIX GAMES, not one, single, soli- tary precious point has crossed the Chapman goal-line. Taft has also come up with gerat record; Crosby, Deerfield and Kent scoring one touchdown apiece and none of them making the point after.
 wv wv
 Relative to the point after touch down situation, very important matter in football generally, and the college game in particular, there is the AMAZING fact at hand that. for the first 30 PROFESSIONAL games this season, kickers for points after touchdown missed but 15 of 155 attempts, and some of those were the fault of the ball-holder or bad pass from center. For those who really like their football on Thanksgiving Day, do not have to work and want to travel less than 20 miles, there is the Crosby -Wilby local game at 10 a. m. and the An- sonia-Naugatuck affair at 2:30 in the afternoon in the Copper City. Ebby Conlon's Sacred Heart High school basketeers will open third season of play against tn. Alumni, Wednesday evening, November 24 at Wilby gym. The Thanksgiving eve game is expected to attract a large group of student and grads from the east end. Green Bay Rockers are sending their full squad, which means Don Hutson, Tony Canadeo, Coach Curly LamS cau nd others to Bristol, Sunday, November 2Sth against New London D-esels, which should draw 5000 to 5000 fans, if the Weather Man does not get too tough.

Charles E. Brickley's pleasing per- sonality and general buoyancy of spirit made him one of the most popular men at. Harvard.
 Ever reliable Charley Brickley. good looking, dark haired and on the chubby side, was intensely in terested in physical culture, par ticipated in all sports, but football was his favorite.
 In three years in crimsor-, Brick ley kicked 65 out of 70 attempted field goals, five in one game for all of Harvard's points against Yale. He was equally skillful as drop or ace-kicker.
 In 1912-13-14 the problem of Har- wards opponents was to find way

Kicking 65 Out Of 70 Attempted Field Goals OverShadOwed Great All-ROund Play Of Blocker Brickley

the first Harvard-Yale game played in the Yale Bowl, which Captain Brickley watched from the sidelines until near the end. Hinkey spent so much time developing an attack that he failed to provide an ade- quate defense. Harvard took ad- vantage of this, held the ball, ham, mered away against inferior resist ance and won, 36ve.
 Late in the going, with Harvard within drop-kicking distance, Brick ley was sent in apparently to try for field goal. Using his captain as decoy, well out of harms way, Quarterback Watson scored with a series of plays ending in forward pass to Tack Hardwick.
 So when he was physically unable to run and did not kick, Brickley was such a tremendous threat that he was invaluable. And he kicked the point after touchdown to have the satisfaction of scoring against Yale in his final college fling.
 Brickley kicked three field goals as Harvard whipped Princeton, 16-6, in 1912. He kept Harvard un- beaten that fall by kicking a field goal to edge Dartmouth, 80, in the last game played between the schools until 1922.
 A MONOTONOUS REPORT
 A report of the Yale game of 1912, Harvard's first victory over the Bulldog since 1901, makes monotonous reading: "Yale fumbled and after recovering, Brickley kicked field goal. Brickley inter- cepted forward pass, ran the ball back 42 yards, drop-kicked another goal" The score was 200.
 Harvard and PrincetoN played in sea of mud in 1913. Toward the finish, Harvard blocked kick and Brickley won another game single footed, 80.
 The Harvard-Yale game that au- tumn resolved itself into a kicking 5uel between the Els and Brickley. The Crimson Terror accounted for all of Harvard's points with four drop-kicks and place-kick. The score was 15-5.
 Brickley Is now working in a Wilmingtonu, Del, shipyard-doing war work, of course. A lieutenant in World War I, he was rejected this time He is 53, has two sons in the service.
 Charley Brickley put a kick in Harvard football-in more ways than one.

to stop Brickley's drop-kicking. They never succeeded.
 Brickley's kicking overshadowed his fine all-round performances. He puts everything he has into every play and he has an awful lot" said Percy Haughton.
 Despite the fact that he stood no more than five feet nine. weighed less than 160 pounds, Haughton considered Brickley ore of the best blocking backs he ever saw. Brick ley was an efficient runner who kept his feet and fought his way along when tackled.
 Jim Thorpe was-still is-Brick- leys ideal fotohall player. Brickley, who upon graduation played pro- fessionally with the old Massillon, O., Tigers, opposed Thorpe, 8 Can ton Bulldog.
