Active Club Tops
Eagles in Tight
asiball Tilt

Monday night saw one of the
hottest games Of the new fast
ball season when the Active club
squeezed out 9-8 win over the
Eagles. Matheson was the fair
haired boy for the Activians
when he blasted home run in
the sixth off lobbed ball from
Scherger to tie the score at
all. Then in the seventh he singl-
ed Walker home for the winning
run.
The Eagles also dropped a
tough one on Friday night. Ahead
in the scoring when a miniature
cloudburst swamped the field,
they refused to call the game.
Keoklers then proceeded to
swamp them on the muddy field
lis.
Tightest pitching duel to date
was in a five inning night cap
Wednesday when Rockers scor-
ed 2. runs on 2 hits to whitewash
the Activians. Coin faced only
is Active batters allowing them
only one hit and garnering 10

It's Leap Year, GirlsI

know it's usual for older folks to
shake their heads over the younger
generation. (It's gone on for hun
dreds of years, now.)
But from where ! sit, young

every bit as commendable as their

year -old oak trees: whereas the mul-
tiplication table still gives me fits
Out, too, was the art of hair grow
ing. The professors head looks like
posted hunting ground while mine
looks like a grape which couldn't
afford a wig. Out, also, was world
respect. The universe bends its
knee to his genius. Shoeshine boys
are the only ones who bend their
knees to me.
Things Can Do.
But-and here I come with the
list OF things I can do that the pro-
fessor can't do.
I can beat him in a 50-yard dash
any time he wants to put on track
pants and challenge me.
I can grind the valves on a Model
T Ford as efficiently as any garage
mechanic.
I can borrow money from my wife
and just let the professor try
that.
I can vote in Florida.
But enough of this. I don't want
to prove that Prof. Einstein should
hide his head when he sees me and
run up a side street in Princeton.
What I want to do Is to start dis
agreeing with him.
A few days ago, Prof. Einstein
took a public stand against military
dominance of this country's indus
try, education, and ETC., etc., and
another etc. In short, and to use
words the professor would never

use, he Is knocking the presence
Of military brass in key Jobs.
I think the professor Is dead
wrong. I think he would be deac
right If we were living in norma
times, but I defy any man with sc
much as one gray cell in his noggir
to call these times normal. If 1915
were 1906 or 1912, even, a man could
be excused for believing that these
were normal times. Times weren't
so good then, but at least those
times didn't threaten the oblitera-
ton Of mankind.
Plan to Save America.
Today is savage. Let no one fool
you about that. The Marshall Plan,
humanitarian as it sounds, Is not q
plan to save others, but a plan to
save Americans. The world today
is one of atom bombs, long-range
submarines that never have to come
up for air, weird missiles capable
of crippling cities, archaeological
warfare that aims at starvation,
sterility, and madness.
Who knows best about these
things? Civilians? No. Soldiers.
Give me Gen. Beetle Smith in
Moscow. Give me Gen. Clay in
Germany. Give me Marshall as
Secretary of State. Give me Gen.
Macarthur in Japan. They may
not be the most charming men in
the world, but they have the train
ing to understand what the oppo-
sition is doing. They know a tank
