The unbeaten united ranks Of
major college football teams. cut
almost in half over the week end,
may be sliced near the middle again
next Saturday.
Only five big schools - Notre
Dame. Michigan, Army. California
and Clemson-still have perfect
records. q
Both Army and Clemson face
their toughest opponents OF the
season this week. The Cadets have
the unpleasant task Of meeting
Pennsylvania at Philadelphia with
Penn on the rebound from its 1870

conqueror of Duke, at Winston
Salem, N. &C. ..
And then there's the top game Of
the y-Northwestern VS.. Notre
Dame at South Bend.
The fighting Irish probably will
win this one by several touchdowns,
but the Wildcats definitely are
above the average caliber Of Notre
Dame opponents this year.
Michigan, California at Ease.
Michigan and California shouldn't
have much trouble in maintaining
their records. The Wolverines en-

Four perfect marks were broken
Saturday and yesterday. In addi-
ton to Penn's defeat. Georgia Tech
lost to Tennessee. 1876: Nevada was
downd by Santa Clara, 14-0, and
William and Mary held North Car
olina to TT tie.
One of the biggest surprises Sat-
urday outside the unbeaten ranks
was Oklahoma's Alt massacre OF
Missouri. The Sooners caught fire
for % points in the. third quarter
after TT first half.
The victory made Oklahoma a
good bowl possibility and probable

Georgetown ignored instructions,

G. W.. IL: The Citadel. 0.

The Colonials cashed in on two
late breaks to take this one. One
was Citadel punt ruined by the
wind and which gave G. w. the
ball on the Bulldog 37, the other
a pass interception and 20-yard
return by Johnny Grinnell to
the Bulldog 16. George Wash
ington obviously was the better
team though, and these breaks
just made up for earlier sustained
drives that petered out within
short distance of a score.
The game was marked by tight
defenses against ground attacks
by both teams. A stiff and tricky
cross-wind made passing difficult
and any aerials over 10 yards
could be blown almost anywhere.
1t permitted the teams to'concen-
trate on stopping running games
and G. w. was limited to SO yards
rushing and The Citadel to 118.
The difference was that G. WIS

desperate effort, however. He
ran - from his end zone to
Georgetown's 2-to set up a
touchdown and considerably en-
barrass a Georgetown line, which
had held N. Y. U. to As yards
rushing to that point.
Georgetown missed talented
Billy Conn in its backfield. With
out him the Hoyas resembled a
grounded ship. Twice they tried
to maneuver on screen passes
and couldn't find a 'passer adept
enough to loft an easy aerial
few yards to wide-open receivers.
Georgetown's ground attack
consisted of Tony Boyer, who
smashed SO yards in a 35-yard
drive to score. It's air attack con-
sisted of a touchdown pass from
Elmer Raba to George Benigni.
Otherwise the Hoyas' labor gen.
orally was shoddy, but it was a
night when the Hoyas could
produce a bad game and still
win.

unless the Hoyas improve re-
markably they'll take a brutal

They say in the press box at
Chapel Hill that North Cardinals
IL punch-Charley Justice and
Hosea Rodgers-is tired. Against
Tennessee Saturday before last,
Justice or Rodgers carried the
ball or, passed on all but six
offensive plays. Against William
and Mary last Saturday, Justice
or Rodgers carried or passed on
all but seven plays. And four of
those seven were the last four in
the game. That's from the single
wing.
But tired or not physically, the.
Tarheels will be fresher mentally
against Maryland. OF North
Carolina's 10 major games, 1t is
not stretching point to say that
Maryland is its least important
opponent. Certainly the Terps
can't rate with Texas, Georgia or
Tennessee. And Carolina rather
would beat its neighborhood riv-
ais, N. c. State, Wake Forest or
Duke. Then L. S. U. was an i'm
portant intersectional game and
Virginia is its Oldest rival. That
leaves only Maryland or William
and Mary as Carolina's least re-
spected opponent, which gives
you an idea, of the ruggedness of
the N c.. schedule.
Maryland has been pointing for
Carolina since spring practice.

think about Maryland until to-
day. But with their, perfect rec

prise, like our political liber-
ties, doesn't blow like the
wind from heaven. It must be
earned. Either business, in
serving itself, serves the pub
lie or it invites strangling reg
ulations. 1t can almost be said
that the measure of our sue
cess as a republic is the
amount of regulation we can
get along without. The duty of
the business man and the la
Dor leader is to make our eco
nomic freedoms work. This is
a duty they have to the whole
public, not merely to their
own group or class: It is far
better that these men should
disclose and assail the wrongs
in our system than that they
should see, hear and speak no
evil. Either we do our own
housekeeping or an indignant
electorate will do it for us. It
is taking US a long time to
learn that, when we invite the
devil to take the hindmost, the
devil may take us all.

In the words of Tom Paine:
Those who expect to reap the
blessings of freedom must
bear the fatigues Of support
ing it." There can be no liber-
ty that isn't earned. Freedom,
as world events have taught
us, isn't free like the air we
breathe. It isn't from everlast-
ing to everlasting. 1t was won
by bitter struggle, and it can
be lost with tragic ease, if we
and other Americans take it
for granted. The lesson of our
time is that freedom must be
earned in each generation.
Either we continue to earn it,
or we shall wake up some
morning to find that it has
slipped through our fingers, as
it slipped through the hands of
other people in the world. In
our business hours many
Americans speak of Free En-
terprise" as though it were a
God-bestowed blessing. Some
are surprised to find that it.

Protecting Living Standards

director Of research for large organization
of retail stores has said that efforts will be made
to still further lower the overhead costs OF retail
business. In some parts of the country roadside
stores, which can be operated cheapIy are open

indication of form of competition for large
retailing establishments"
The interesting thing about that is the light
it casts the competitive situation in merchan-

In retailing, there is always room at the bot

much as it can is understandable. However, in the
case Of the coal miners, this raises the extremely
pertinent question of just where the limit may be.
At the present time so cnts out Of each dollar TAX
en- in by coal producers goes for labor costs. The
ndustry's profits have been moderate. The only
way out therefore, would be to again boost the
cost of coal to the consumer-and that is where
the danger lies.
Coal vital as it is, must be sold in intense
competition with all other fuels If the price should
become too high, there would be greatr use of
these other fuels, and consequent decline in the
use of coal And then the miners high-wage Jobs
would decline.
Right now the soft coal miners are the high
est-paid industrial workers in the world Thew
have made spectacular gains, not only in wages
but in living and working conditions, and a long
list of other tangible benefits 1t would be the part

Learning BY Example

The New York Times recently carried a dis
patch from London which has deep significance
1t said, the beginning: "Great Britain under
taken to curtail expenditures on sociaEimprove
ment and betterment projects when such OUTLAWS
intrfere with her ability to become independent
OF dollar aid. BY this decision Britain has demon
strated in concrete way, for the first time, that
she recognizes that her need to pay her way in
ternationally must take precedence, if necessary
some Of the Socialist Partys favorfte pro-
grams"
Implicit in this is the fact that socialism, no
matter how honestly administered and we'll in
tentioned, is essentially non-productive, and sim
ply tends tC create more and more deficits even
as it saps the vitality of a nation. Britain has
socialzed or is planning to sociaize all her basic
industrial resources-the utilities, banking rail-
roads, coal, and on. At the same time, she has
come pretty close to socializng labor too-work-
in vital industry are no longer free agents
and can change employment only by government
permit. The result has been decline in produc-
ton in many cases, failure to reach announced
goals in other cases, and widespread dissatisfac-
ton on the part of labor which has promised
benefits it has not received and which, in instance
after instance, is much worse off than in the days
of private enterprise
The European Gureau of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor has published, in it's newsletter
a very interesting critque Of British industry.
Both management and labor, according to this
finding nave braked production through restric-
tive practices. AS an example, the policy has been
to reduce worker output to the level of the least
efficient performer And that, too, is major bar
rer to Britain's solvency and to raising the pres
ent low living standards Of her people.
Thus, example after example piles up of the
ineffciency Of socialsm-whetheh it be the mild
variety that exists in England the tough, police
state brand that exists in Eastern Europe The
poorest paid poorestfed, and poorest-housed
people lives in the nations where the state has
gone farthest in Selling and -socalizing Industry
in lgmenting the population, and in destroying
free labor
If Americans can learn anything by obser
vatiou we will learn that only free enterprise
system, where private capital carries on the bust
ness ad government keeps within the basic pro
vince Of governing can produce the most benefits
for the most; pecple-and keep our liberties intact
at the same time.

IS that just the opposite has occurred The great
