 Saturday Against Crosby

Watertown, Oct. 3 - Boosting a squad laden with veteran material, including 10 1945 lettermen, Taft Schools football team opens its sea- son against once-beaten Crosby High outfit on Rockefeller Field in Watertown Saturday. Head-coach Robert Adams, back at the helm of the Taft Club after three years in service, summed up the teams pos abilities in an interview today, when he stated: were not over loaded with talent, but we have a fine-spirited team of boys who love to play football, and we'll cause every opponent on our schedule a lot of trouble"

 The running guard post in Tafts single wing formation will be filled by Bob Cries, another Cleveland lad and the Hghtest man on the starting team at 154 pounds. His running mate will be either Rock" Evans, another newcomer, from Washington, Penn, weighing I'll pounds, or Harry Crafts, 175 pounds from Norfolk, Va, now in his third year on the squad. The center is Captain Bob Rae, 182 pounds, from Rochester, N. Y, and the best pivot man at Watertown for the past de- cade.

Warriors Book
 Bridqeport Team

After 8 much needed rest due to injuries, the Warriors will resume action on the gridiron Sunday when they face the powerful Ranblers of Bridgeport in the Park City.
 The locals will be at full strength for this contest and have drilled hard the past two weeks perfecting a T-formation attack which they uncovered in the second half of the Manchester contest and which proved successful. Several new players have joined the squad re- gently including four former mem bers of the 1942 team and with the added strength the Warriors hope to gain their first win Sunday.
 The Ramblers, who claim to have one of the stronger teams in the Bridgeport area, could do no better than gain a 6-6 tie in the last meet ing of the two squads in 1942.

Ebbets Field where they won 57 games and lost but 20 this season, whereas on the road they won 39 and lost 39, including Tuesdays playoff loss at St. Louis. Even here. however, the Cardinals had a come back, for they won six and lost five from the Dodgers at Brooklyn, even though they lost two out of three games in their final regular season series at Ebbets Field
 That last series gave the Dodgers heart. For they were in almost ex- actly the same situation today as they were when they were battling the Cards here two weeks ago and lost the opener, 10 to 2, as St. Louis teed off on Higbe's pitches for a five-run first inning and breezed in. Things couldn't have looked much worse, yet Hatten with the aid of Higbe, came back to win the sec- ond game, to 3, and Branca tossed an amazing three-hit shutout in his second starting assignment of the year to take the third one, to 0.
 The Dodgers reason that he who laughs last laughs best. That's pretty good logic for team that has been last as often as the bat ting Brooks.

SIum Clearance Bill

Chances for enactment of the
slum clearance bill at this session of
Congress have frightened consider
ably with the favorable report Or
dered on Wednesday by the McGehee
subcommittee.
1t is unfortunate, however, that
the subcommittee saw fit to revive
phase of the old public-vs.- private
housing controversy by adding
amendments which were disposed of
last fall in a compromise which
brought about Senate passage of the
same measure.
The amendments are designed to
make more difficult the construction
of low-cost housing by public
agency. Private housings fear of
and antagonism toward public hous
ing are understandable. But in the
end it will be public opinion which
decides this controversy and it
would seem highly desirable if the
private building industry placed the
emphasis on positive showing of
what it can accomplish to house the
lower Income groups and indicated
greater willingness to forego some
of the negative efforts directed at
shutting public building out of the
field altogether.
The thing that will kill the COM
petition of public building in this
country is demonstration of how
much more efficiently, and at less
cost to the public, private building
can supply a need of which the
public generally has become con-
scious. Everywhere there is an in
creasing tendency to link such COM
munity burdens as crime, juvenile
delinquency and disease to the ex-
tstence of slum areas. Public opinion
favorS public support, to a degree
undreamed of few years ago, for
private enterprise in razing slum
areas and providing low-cost, decent
housing
But if the need is not met by pri-
vate enterprise, with this generous
public support already promised, the
alternative will be a demand for
more and more public housing and
that demand will be far more dan
gerous to private enterprise than
the loopholes which the private
houSers have sought to close in the
District slum clearance measure by
amendments which are confusing
and difficult if not impossible to
administer.
AS it passed the Senate, the slum
clearance bill was a fair bill. It
leaned over backwards to give pri-
vate enterprise the edge, and this
was wholly desirable The House
committee amendments seem

s,s..... The Search for God
By DR.. Page Mex. Etchison,
Religious Work Director, YMCA

A great many centuries ago, Job
uttered the cry that is in our hearts
today when he said: "Oh, that knew
where I might find Him!" How may
we find God? How may we know
that God Is near us and does care
for us? How may we be sure that
God does hear our supplications when
we turn to Him in prayer? We want
to know, and, without positive
answer to these questions, our reli-
gion is unreal.
In the first place we have Book
to guide us in our search. The very
first words we find in this Book
are: I'm the beginning God" But
some one may say, You are starting
with an assumption. How do you
know? You cannot see God" One
day I sailed out Of New York Harbor
on the Cunard liner, the Aquitania.
did not see the captain of that great
ship. AS matter of fact, I did not
see him during the entire voyage.
But I assumed that he was there,
at his place, performing his duty,
and my assumption was correct, for
five and a half days later we were
landed safely at Southampton, Eng
land. The truth of the matter is that
every day that we live. we take many
things for granted. In the realm of
religion we also must assume some-
thing as basis for our belief. There
fore, we declare, as we enter upon
our search: In the beginning God"
History also will help us in our
quest for God. Here we discover that
mankind always has worshiped some
kind OF a god. The yearning to be-
lieve has been placed in the hearts
of men by the Creator. This assump-
tion now is based upon evidence
found in the history of the human
race. which proves conclusively the
reality of God.
Faith is another pathway to God.
A great scientist. the late Dr. Charles
P. Steinmetz, said: Faith begins
where knowledge ceases" and Tenny-
son beautifully has written:
I'VE have but faith: We cannot know;
For knowledge is of things we see,
Believing where We cannot prove"
st. John of old challenged the
