LOS ANGELES, Sept, 25-UCLA put on one of the most sensational finishes Saturday to any football game ever held in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum to get a 1913 tie with Southern California.
 Sixty thousand fans watched the powerful Trojans push over two touchdowns in the second quarter and could hardly believe their eyes when the fighting Bruins suddenly an irresistible ground attack which carried 49 yards to a touchdown in six plays. They were even more stunned when Johnny Roesh, halfback, gathered the Tro- jan punt as the timers gun sound ed and dashed "A yards through the men of Troy for another That was only part of the drama. Quarterback Bob Wat erfield of the Bruins went back to boot a placement.
 Thousands rushed fsom their seats and crowded the sidelines as the ball hit the crossbar and up- right and bounded widely to the left. Players and officials were lost in the crowd which swarmed over the field. It was a full minute before the referee could signal that the ball had gone over the crossbar, tieing the point.

Health A Personal Matter

Before the war, medical authorities predict
ed that in a comparatively few years tuber-
culosis would be virtually eradicated. A md
jor tragedy Of the present conflict has been
the defeat of this prediction The incidence
of tuberculosis has gone up sharply. 1t has
always been so in time of great stress, and
in spite of the best efforts of enlightened
medical men, the present emergency has been
no exception. However, worse than the in
crease of tuberculosis is the reluctance of
the infected individuals to take proper action.
James G. Stone, OF the National Tubercu-
losis Association, declares that: more cases
of tuberculosis are being found today than
ever before and fewer patients are in tuber-
culosis hospitals The temptation of high wages
in war industries is causing many to stay
out of hospitals and accept jobs
He emphasized that the proper program
for control of tuberculosis consists Of three
parts: finding the cases, disqualification, and
education of the patient and public to the
seriousness o. the disease.
1t may surprise some to learn that persuad-
ing the public to use readily available IA
cilties, even where the question of financial
ability is not involved, is one of the most
difficult problems of the medical profession.

and Britain continue friendly recognition OF
the Franco government? Would they recognize
substitute dictator which the powerful con-
sentative group of double crossed Franco
followers might install, Or would they support
resurgent forces of the legally elected Spanish
republic which Franco and his German and
Italian allies defeated?
Military expediency no longer is valid
excuse for condoning fascism in Spain. 1t re-
mains to be seen now whether the great pow
e.-s will profit by past lessons and use their
strong influence to foster representative gov
eminent, or whether they will support the sta
tus quo of whatever political complexion, just
so long as it seems to be top dog.

In High Gear

The remark that Hitler, in inventing mech
anized warfare, came right down our alley"
is rank understatement. The Yankee genius
for mechanization has amazed the most mag
inative production experts. Even yet wonder
ment is expressed as to how it has been pos
s;ble to maintain supply lines to the far-flung
allied armies on the European continent.
Warren c. Platt, editor of the National Pc
trcleum News after a visit to the combat
areas of France, gives at least partial an.
swer: Il have just returned from a two-day
trip For most of the 500 miles covered
in those two days we had to fight our way
alongside of truck conveys moving at speeds
of 4G and As miles per hour and sometimes
even so miles per hour. These were not just
the lighter trucks, but the regular 2 1-2-ton
and heavier trailer type truck and even
trucks with extra full trailers hooked on be-
hind. All handled just three classes of freight,
ammunition gasoline and food. These conveys
filled the highways for miles end
1.-The trains, with the aid of additional cars
and engines from England, are being used to
their maximum. Engineers are rebuilding
bridges on railroads and highways as fast as
the railroads and trucks can bring the pipe
and pumps.
ITO this mighty drive Of the greatest fight
ing power in all history, the oil industry is
contributing more than 100000 gallons OF
aviation and motor fuel every day."
How that fuel is produced is another story.

Uniform. The best OF my life has

my career. Thou, o God, who hast

and I long still to protect him.
But I can only write, and pray;
and leave him in Thy Father care.
Do Thou protect him from hurt
Of body and stain Of soul. May
none of the noble instincts that l
have Implanted in him grow less
in this time of testing and service.
Grant him the boon Of an uncon-

be valorous and chivalrous, a fit
