and I suspected neW-car owners OF
black and foul deeds.
So, when old friends gave me then
backs today I knew how they felt
and simply turned the other fender
and kept rolling along in my new
and shiny job. Indeed, even if
had felt resentful l wouldn't have
had time to do anything about it
because driving a new car, after
years of operating a hand-me-down
from Noah's Ark, is a difficult and
even dangerous task.
Learning to Walk Again.
How does it feel to drive a new
car?
Well, it must be something like
learning to walk again after long
illness. You know how to drive it
and you know you know how, but
the new car reacts so differently
than your ancient jalopy that you
feel as if you were at the controls
of a completely strange means of
transportation.
The front wheels don't shimmy
for one thing-they roll straight and
true. 1t is not easy to adjust your
self to this For the first 10 or Is
miles I drove the new car I fought
a shimmy that wasn't there, just
from habit. AS a result. I sWooped
and darted from one side of the
road to another, because each time
I turned the steering wheel the car
responded.
You'll have difficulty at first ad-
justing yourself to being dry and
comfortable. The new cars all have
windows which are unbroken and
which may be raised and lowered
without outside help. I had become
so accustomed to slipping on my
raincoat and rubbers when a rain
caught me out in my old car, that
I felt positively naked when didn't
put them on during a spin in 9
shower yesterday.
/ You won't have half as much fun
/ with the doors on the new cars as
you did with the doors on your ole
car. The doors on the 1916 models
all shut, and each and every one OF
them is equipped with a handle
In my old car the only way I coulo
( get to the front seat was by entering
/ by a rear door and climbing over
/ the back of the seat. This helped
keep my waistline down and my
temper up.
Start BY Themselves.
If your old car is anything like
mine was. the cushions in the new
models make you uncomfortable
The stuffing in the cushions of my
old machine was beaten down thin
ner than a pancake, and the springs
had long ago lost their bounce. AS
a result, when I slipped back of the
steering wheel I all but disappeared
in vast depression. Only by hoist
ing myself by the steering wheel
was l able to get my eyes high
enough to see through the bottom
of the windshield. Let me forget to
keep myself held up by the steering
wheel, and I would disappear COM
pletely and be forced to drive by
instrument until I could raise my
self up again. Twice, when I was
out of sight in the depression
startled pedestrians called the police
to report that a driverless car was
tearing along Main street
The horn blows on the new car
This is a real thrill. We spent half
of yesterday afternoon sitting in the
car in the garage, just blowing the
horn.
You'll like this, too: The new
cars start by themselves and don't
/ have to be pushed.

Prefer American Way.
Messrs. Lewis, Whitney and
Johnston, like the rest of us. prefer
the American way-although not
always for the same reasons. They
prefer the system that permits
strikes.
They stand for the right of the
individual Cor the individual group
to take from society all he can take,
so long as he doesn't use crime
such as robbery, theft and murder
AS part of the process. In this
they differ very little, if any. from
the rest of us. The principal tool
of their trade, or at least the most
important even when held in re-
serve. is the strike just as the en-
ployer asserts his right to charge
the highest prices the traffic will
bear, organized labor charges the
highest wages it can get. Just as
the employer can refuse to sell his
goods, the employe can refuse to
sell his labor.
SO we get into the kind of fix
we're in now, those of us who think
of ourselves as neither labor nor
management, but as the public. In
our role of the public We are caught
In very uncomfortable place called
the middle. We yelp for help and
ask the Government to protect us
but there is little the Government
can do. The President can reason
with management and labor. can
beseech them both to give the pub
lie break; members of Congress
can indulge in tall talk and search
frantically for ways of controlling
labor. But labor and management
continue to fight it out in their own
way.
Fight Will Continue.
Labor fights to improve its con-
dltion. 1t is a fight that has been
going on from the beginning of
time and. on the whole, with some
success. Its condition has been i'm
proved. But it isn't satisfied vet
and probably never will be. So the
fight will continue.
Can the Government really do
nothing for those of us caught in
the middle? Well, the present ad-
mlnlstration has been seeking WAYS
of improving labor's condition, both
in Justice to labor and as means
of avoiding trouble 1t has under
taken to set higher level of mini
munl wages by law. In this it has
been largely defeated by conserva-
tive element in Congress, which ap-
parently thinks 1t is better to have
labor strike for what it wants. It
mas sought to obtain, through legis-
latlon, a national system of health
and welfare protection. The same

Columbia Won Great Grid Game

As the feller says, you wouldn't bet counterfeit money on Colum- bias chances of defeating Yale Sat- urday before 65,O00 in the bowl in the middle of the third quarter; but Lou Little's lads were 28-20 winners when the last whistle was blown. The game had everything imagin- able; such as Levi Jacksons 82 yard run for a touchdown after fumbling Q kickoff; savage line play on the part of Yale in the first half that stopped the speedy Columbia backs Rossides, Kusserow and KaSpryzak before they could get under way. Rossides, in particular, was as fast as a bullet, but a big line couldn't shake him loose for more than few yards at a time; while Jackson, and Ferd Nadherny were really making merry, with such great help up front.
 What happened to Yale in the second half may never be known, movies to the contrary; but the fact remains that Columbia start ing passing attack (mostly Kas- pryzak to Siwacki) that was so ef- fective, the Lions quickly came from the short end of 20-6 score in the third quarter to 22-20 lead; then added the easiest kind of fourth quarter touchdown, when Tex Purse attempted to pass near the Yale goal line; as the Lion forward wall roared in on him and the ball was plucked off his shoulder by an alert Little lineman.
 As for Jackson, the New Haven colored boy-he gave a grand ex- hibition on rainy day; setting three touchdowns; one of them his 82 yard run after tumble while T Columbia players hit him on the way to the goal, but could not bring him down. He is one of the hardest college football players to bring down that I have ever seen. Colored sportswriters from the Pittsburgh Courier and Amster- dam News (N. Y) covered the game from the Jackson angle, and they really had something to write Aholrt: for the modest, soft-Spok- en colored boy is even better than his press clips, which have been almost on the Super-man side.
 As for the game, with Yale leading 14-O at half time, and 2O-6 an the third quarter; it was a keen reminder to many veteran pressbox squatters of the greatest football game ever played Gin my uuinion) that never-to-be-forgot- Aeu 83-33 Yale-Dartmouth tie game in 1881; with Yale 6-l0 leader at half time.

Football Death Toll Reaches Ten Within Fe1u Weeks
.SIoushter's
 Arm Injured
BY ELMER c. BROZ United Press Sports Writer

St. Louis, Oct. 14-(UP)--A fellow who probably shouldn't have been out there was in right field for the Cardinals and his slogan was Ito hell | with it."
 He was trying to win a World Ser les ball game. As things turned out, he wasn't vital factor in the out come of yesterdays game but his presence in the lineup meant lot.
 For Enos Country Slaughter, who throws like a rifle shoots, is all ball player.
 "The boy went through on his nerve" said Dr. Robert F. Hyland, Cardinal club physician, of the right fielder's gamble to play in yester- days game against medical advice. Took Big Chance
 'T'm glad Slaughter didn't have to make a throw" added the doctor. His arm was in no shape to be used"
 The sling g-shot throwing outfielder of the Redbirds grinned when he heard this.
 T guess the docs right I'm glad didn't have to cut loose. But you can bet this-if I'd have had to make a throw I'd have done it-and the hell with the right arm"
 When he said this the country boy rubbed his elbow, the one that was hit by pitcher Joe Dobson's fast in- sist speeder in the fifth game of the series.
 That was very troublesome inb," said Dr. Hyland. We worked on it on the train, but Saturday I'd have gambled he couldn't use it. but even doctors are wrong some times"
 The picture as the club physician drew it was like this: Slaughter got an unexpected blood clot on his arm after being hit. Up until last night he was in danger of injuring it per- manently.
 By that I mean," continued the doctor, "a tendon may have been chemically hurt, which is simple to do when a clot develops" Only once in the game was the l1lC01Nd4 4Ald41 WO414CO dOOQU 04C o1Vu- ation. That was in the early innings when Slaughter made dive at first base to prevent being picked off. Looked Bad
 T held my breath up in the stands" said pr. Hyland. T could see that he landed on his right arm. I said to the fellow beside me, there goes a boy diving himself out of baseball-but I'm glad I was wrong"
 The physician said that the game Cardinal outfielder will be ready for duty in Tuesdays game, "and he probably won't have to worry about any permanent injuries" It was good news to the Redbird fielder but he shrugged off the pos sibility of any wrong guesses by the | medico.
 If the right arms all right or not II hope those boys from Boston try to take third when get my hands on that ball." he said.

Son ofTuIone CoochAmonq Fatalities
By MILTON HICKMAN United Press Sports Writer

New York, Oct. IA. (UP)-The football players, eight of them high school athletes, have died following practice sessions or games in the first six weeks of the 1946 season survey showed today. The toll is one more than the total for the 1945 season.
 Included among the high school fatalities was the 17-year-old son of Coach Henry Frnka of Tulane. Young Frnka, injured in practice session, died after an emergency brain operation at Tulsa, Okla.
 The latest death occurred Satur- day at Paris, Ky, where Burl Clark, IS, Paris High Schools right end, succumbed after suffering head in- juries in game against Mt Sterl- ing High on Friday night.
 Last Thursday, William Kenny, IT, St. Johns High School tackle died from cerebral hemorrhage received during practice two days earlier. An operation performed at Temple University Hospital failed | to save him.
 Heart Attack
 On Wednesday, another Penn sylvania High School player, Thomas Began, IT, of Jenkintown, died of a heart attack several hours after taking part in a light scrim- mage. Began, substitute tackle, complained of illness shortly after practice began and was excused. He collapsed later in 8 Jenkintown drug store.
 Billy Joe Whitehead, 21-year-old Texas Tech reserve fullback, died on Oct. 3 after suffering head in juries in practice. Whitehead had been injured in September drill but apparently had recovered.
 During the last week of Septem- Der, two other Pennsylvania high school students, Joe Jefferis, Jr., of Downingtown High and James Clark of Ligonier High, died after receiving practice session injuries.
 Jefferis, IT, suffered kidney injury and died after an emergency operation on Sept. 30. Clark, a IT, year-old halfback, died of cerebral hemorrhage at Latrobe, Pa, on Sept. 24.
 Team DiSbandS
 Two other high school players died on Sept. g. John Dolon, 1T, South Kertright, N Y, Central High sophomore, received fatal head injuries while making tackle and the team voted to disband be- cause of the accident. Robert Han mum, Is, Franklin, O., died the same day at a Cincinnati hospital from injuries received in game between Franklin and Miamisburg.
 The first 1946 fatality was re- ported on Sept. 3, when Clifton Knighten, 8 Wilberforce University player, died near Xenia, O., while en route to hospital. Knighten, of Sapula, Okla, was injured during practice and 8 coroner's report gave two fractured vertebrae as the cause of death.
 The nine football fatalities re- ported during 1945 was the lowest seasons death toll in the last 20 years.

Like Tennyson's Brook, the eight year old Virginia-bred gelding, Magic Luck, owned by Waterbury's Bert Bowen, seems to 'go on for ever" After winning 34 show championships in 18 months al- most to the day, the handsome horse was taken to Providence, R. l., last week, where the Shrine Horse Show was presented for 4 days and two evenings, attracting an entry list so large that the con- petition had to be split into two divisions-conformation and work ing hunter.
 Magic Luck won both, which com prised his 35th and 18th cham pionship; the Bowen gelding win ming 2 blues in g class; alsoe ming blues in g classes; aslo get ting one second and a third.
 Golden Hills, owned by Joe Hale of Greenwich and Rose Parade of Scarsdale, N. Y, were reserve win ners in the conformation and work ing hunter competition in tha tor der.
