Very well, Miss C. i will
answer you. Receiving your let
ter was one of the very few sur
priSes l have had in my life. AL
so, it embarrassed me a little.
First of all, I have always con-
sidered sorrow, unhappiness and
heartbreak intensely personal
things, that can't be shared with
anyone, and with which no one
on earth can help. And since they
are so very personal, and nobody
can possibly help you to bear
them, how can you discuss them?
1t seems sort of indecent. think
that anyone who has had truly
great sorrow in their life will
agree with me that you just have
to contend with it alone, in dread
full loneliness maybe, but alone.
Secondly, Miss c., l am
probably the most utterly I'M
qualified person in the entire
world to give advice to other
people, since my forty years have
represented a series of the most
monumental mistakes ever made
by a human being.
Not that l am adverse to Civ
ing advice, even in the face of
the mistakes. Show me anyone
who wont stop everything at the
drop of hat in order to give adj
vice, asked or unasked. And so.
for what it is worth, and l warn
you 1t is worth very little, this
is what l would say to you:
The average man has all the
instincts Of a tomcat, and moth
ing much can be done to cor
rect it, short of stern measures,
which, for the sake of poSterity,
l hesitate to recommend. Once
you accept this premise, and
reconcile yourself to its newt
ability, you wont permit male
lapses to bother you very much.
You don't understand how
anyone can love a person one
day and leave them the next?
I've seen it happen in the course
of an hour, to say nothing of the
lifetime that is tWRnty-four
hours.
1t sounds callouS, of course,
but it is an undeniable fact that
the best, fastest and most lasting
cure for the loss of a lover is the
acquisition of another as fast as
it can be decently managed. If
you could get one, you can get
another. Heaven knows. there's
plenty of them. Only don't
expect too much of them.
The ideal arrangement would
be to have some man who is
practically out of his mind about
you, and of whom you are mod
erately fond, in an offhand sort
of fashion that still leaves you
plenty of time for other things.
If you are kind to him he will
be ever so grateful to you and
break his neck trying to get you
as much in love with him as he is
with you. Secure in the knoWl-
edge that you are being kind just
out of the goodness of your heart,
you in turn will get SNUG, viz
tuouS sort of feeling, and will be
able to go about saying patronlz-
ingly to all your girl friends:
"Of course l don't love him, but
he is so good. and he is so crazy
about met" This will drive the
girl friends frantic with jealousy,
because most of them are having
no end of trouble keeping their
SWANS in line or even on the
hook.

l had very disturbing letter
the other day.
Dear Miss Calleja," it read,
Il don't know you, and you don't
know me, but l have been read
ing with a great deal of interest
your stories in The Citizen, and
| believe that you must be a per-
son of great sympathy and deep
understanding, the way you
write about people. Maybe you
can help me, and tell me what
to do. am very unhappy, and l
have made everyone around me
unhappy too, because I don't
seem to get over a love affair l
had. There doesn't seem to be
anything left that interests me
at all. just put everything into
my love. affair, and lived only
for him. Now he has left, and he
told me that he wasn't coming
back, we'd never see each other
again. Sometimes l feel that life
is not worth living without him.
| have my family and my friends,
but they can't help me. Nothing
can take his place. Can l keep
on, being miserable like this, with
every day just the same and
nothing to live for? 1t seems very
unfair that he could have loved
me, as he said he did, and yet be
able to go away and leave me.
How can people love someone
one day and the next day be able
to leave them and forget them? l
can't understand it at all. All
know is that l still love him, and
always will, and that l am very
unhappy. Please, Miss Calleja,
write a story and tell me what
you think ought to do. A very
grateful friend. A. c.

FOUNDER will take one Of the best
records in the south into the ring
with him Friday night when he
meets the Mt. Holly slugger, Early
Hamilton, in the feature match of
boxing card at ITALIAN Hall.
In his last 80 fights, the Will

feated although he has gone the
full route to a no-decision. His best
showing was six round draw with

camp exhibition near Macon, Ga.
Yet it wasn't too long ago that
Best gave up the ring in disgust.
Ii was after he had won his first
nine professional fights and then
hit a slump. Working five days a
week at the. shipyards the fighter
attempted to do ring-work on the
sixth.
Lack of proper training showed
and his record slunped. After a
layoff he made the decision to re.
turn to the ring on full-time basis.
And as the record shows, it was 8

L0NCH0RNS WIN
IN COTTON GAME
BY ED FIFE
United Press Sports Writer

DALLAS, Texas, Jan. l.-(u'H)-
The Texas Longhorns, passing ane
running with a recklessness tina
paid off handsomely, set new
Cotton Bowl scoring record today
when they defeated a similarly
daring Missouri Tiger eleven, 40 tt
81 before $4,000 wide-eyed fans.
The victory really belonged tt
one fellow, loose-jointed Bobby
Layne, who did about all one mar
could do in a football game win
out two sets of arms and legs.
Layne completed II out of l.
passes, two of them for touch
downs. He scored the other foul
Longhorn touch downs on runs ane
plunges and kicked four extra
points.
Never before had any one play
err so completely dominated the
proceedings and the fans at this
10th renewal of the Cotton Classic
gave him 4 rising ovation at the
finish.
The 40 points he accounted for
personally, set new high for one
team in the series and the total oil
81 points for the game also was a
record.
An underdog Missouri eleven that
wasn't supposed to have an attack
to match the speed and passing
Of Southwest Conference cham
pion Texas, kept the overflow
crowd on its feet most of the way
and stayed within striking dis
lance of victory until the fading
minutes of the final period.
But Texas, coached to fine
edge by Dana x. Bible and led by
Layne, a 180-pound sophomore,
wasn't to be denied. It gave Bible
his 2O1st collegiate victory and
kept unspoiled the Texas record
of never having lost in a Cotton
Bowl game.
For. Missouri, Bill Dellastatious,
Leonard Brown and Bob Hopkins
turned in fine running and pass
ing performances.
Texas took IA to lead in the
first quarter, saw Missouri tie it
up in the second period before
the Longhorns surged into 81 to
IA halftime lead. Texas counted
once in the third while holding
Missouri scoreless, but each side
tailed twice in wild final period.
A supposedly stout Texas line
was riddled for a total of 408 net
yards rushing, with Dellastatious
and Brown gaining most of the
ground. Texas got only 202 yards
on the ground, but rolled UP 1854
yards overhead on 10 of IA pass
comprehensive of them in a
row. Missouri's passing game was
spectacular, if not effective, yield
ing 106 yards on four compilations
in II attempts.
Joe Baumgardner and Ralph
Ellsworth of Texas gave Layne
able assistance in the mad often
sive scramble. Baumgardner snag-
ged two touchdown passes. ELS
worth ripped off several sizeable
gains, and passed once so yards to
Layne, who caught the ball on the
Missouri Is and reversed his field
completely to score.

H-In snow a foot deep and
with the pigsk;n stuck in the
snowdrifts several times dur
ing play, st. Paul's first annual
xridiron classic-the Snow Bowl
ended in q scoreless tie to-
day. The temperature stood
near zero.
They weren't highly polished
college teams but the several
thousand spectators who stood
in some drifts three feet deep
at the Highland stadium cheer
ed just as vociferously.
The game was between the
Golden Oilers, sponsored by a
filling station proprietor, and
the Purple Vitamins, backed by
a druggist. Players were high
school gridders assembled from
the neighborhood.
The gridiron stalwarts d0nned
heavy mittens to keep their
hands from freezing and wore
high boots. In between halves,
they drank hot coffee around a
stove installed to keep them
warm.
Disposition of q snow shovel
that Mayor John J. McDonough
intended to award to the win

the scoreless tie so the sponsors,
Leo Ladouceur and Jerry Do

hang the shovel on . rope

and filling station, on opposite
corners.
The queen of the Snow bowl,

HURRICANES GAIN
ORANGE BOWL WIN
ON HUDS0N'S run
Pass Interception Breaks
/ &C Deadlock; Koslow-
ski, Ghaul Outstanding
By H. EARL BARBER
United Press Sports Writer

MIAMI, Fla. Jan. 1.-W.1-Llt
tie AL Hudson, fleet substitute
halfback, intercepted Holy Cross
pass with 10 seconds to play and
ran SO yards for a touchdown to-
day giving the University of Mi
ami Is to 6 victory in the 18th
annual Orange Bowl classic.
A capacity crowd of $4,000 fans
went wild as the hometown team,
playing in its first big bowl game,
came through to upset a favored
Holy Cross team which was try
ing desperately to score and had
driven to the Miami 21-yard line
when the pass was intercepted.
Eugene Defilippo threw the ball
on what was the last play of the
game to his target, end James
Dieckelman, who was standing on
the 11-yard line. Hudson, who
does 100 yards in less than 10
seconds, plucked it out of the air
and sprinted for the goal.
Up to that point, the game had
been nip and tuck with '"'Firehorse
Harry" Ghaul, Miami's freshman
fullback, and big Stan Koslowski,
Holy Cross "best in New England"
tailback, who just got over the flu,
leading their teams attacks.
Thousands of fans were filing
out of the stadium when Hudson
grabbed the ball and started to
run. Pandemonium broke loose as
followers Of the Miami eleven ran
on the field, carrying the team
and coach Jack Harding to the
dressing room on their shoulders.
Both Hudson and Dieckelman had
their hands on the ball, juggling it
back and forth crafty before it
finally settled in Hudson's arms.
The final whistle blew as he neared
the Crusaders goal.
Miami had opened the scoring
in the second period when Holy
Cross punt was partially blocked
on the Crusaders rs yard line and
recovered by the Hurricanes.
Ghaul, playing one Of his best
games of the year, hit the line for
gains of five and six yards until
the ball rested on the one yard line.
Joe Krull went on a wide end run
to score standing up. Ghaul missed
the conversion.
But Holy Cross, apparently I'M
bothered by a warmish sun, came
back. after the kickoff for. its only
score. Scatback Joe Byers took
the ball on the first play after the
kickoff and gave a fancy exhibit
ton of broken field running, scamp
ering 81 yards to the Miami rs.
Koslowski fired pass to Walter
Brennan who took it on the one
yard line and fell into the end
zone. That ended the score until
the last seconds and the game re-
solved into a kicking duel between
Ghaul and Koslowski, with the big
blond Stan holding the edge.
AS the fourth quarter opened,
Miami made its only other scor-
ing threat. Starting on their own
line, the Hurricanes drove
to the Holy Cross IA where the Cru
saders' line braced. Ghaul, who
has made Is of % conversion at
tempts this season, went back for
a field goal try which was wide
by inches.
