SeIIa Leads Princeton
To 26-14 Win Over
Stubborn Lafayette
By the Associated Press

PRINCEON, N. j.. Sept "a
Princeton University opened its
80th season of football with a
hard-earned, 26-14 victory over
Lafayette before a crowd of ap-
proximately $4,000 in Palmer
Stadium today.
Captain George Sella. leading
his team both extensively and de-
fensivefy. Tailed the first three
Princeton touchdowns, scoring
once on a 16-yard reverse play
and twice on passes from Sopho-
more Dick Kazmaier and Jake
McCandless. @
He was almost matched in bril-
lance. however, by Quarterback
Frank Downing Of Lafayette.
whose passing kept the visiting
team in the game until. the final
minute.
Line Saves Game.
The vastly superior play of the
Princeton linemen saved the game
at the end. Aided by a Downing
George Cosgrove pass which ate
up 80 yards, Lafayette drew up
to 1914 with five minutes still
to play.
When Lafayette got the ball
again, however, the hard-charging
Princeton guards and tackles
smothered Downing twice before
he could get pass off. On the
third down, Downing managed a
short pass, but sub tackle Dick
Valentazs grabbed itl on the La
fayette 13 and dashed over for
the decisive touchdown.
A hard man for the Lafayette
pass defenders to cover, Sella took
Kazmaier's 14-yard pass alone in
the end zone to put Princeton
ahead, 1877, in the third period.
He made it 1877 when he took
McCandless' 22-yard aerial on the
Lafayette Is and fought off two
tacklers to go over standing up.
Holden Scores.
KaZmaier converted after Sell
las first period dash and Ken Wei
land added the last point after
Valentzas' score.
Right end Larry Holden scored
Lafayette first touchdown, taking
a seven-yard pass from Downing
on the one and bulling' over.
Downing made the other Lafayette
touchdown on a plunge from the
one. Ralph Durstein Kicked both
extra points.

Wool Clip Packing
Reflected in Prices

Suggestions TO help virginia
fiock-owners get the most cash for
this years wool clip have been
listed by G. w. Litton, v. P. I.
specialist.
He warned that. il each fleece
is not tied individually with pa
per twine. 2 cents a pound will
be deducted. The 2-cent drop
offsets the increased cost Of grad
ing and handling when fieeces are
not tied individually.
Other precautions listed are:
Avoid packing pulled wool Othat
taken from dead Sheep with
shorn fieeces.
Pack f1eeces which contain
burrs separately. Otherwise there
is a penalty Of 10 cents pound.
Pack black fleeces separately. II
they are packed with other fieeces
so the fibers are mixed, the price
will be lowered.
Do not pack f1eeces while they
are damp. as mold and decay
will weaken the fiberS.
Mr.. Litton also said 1t will be
satisfactory to pack pulled. bury
and black f1eeces together. since
they all bring about the same
price. The main idea to keep In
mind, he added, is that one or
two bad fleeces should not be al
lowed to ruin the price on a whole
pack.
Mr.. Litton- reminded sheepmen
that q shearing school will be
conducted April 20 and 80 at the
Front Royal experiment station.

retrieve, or would be concealed
somewhere for him to find.
The recess period was q time OF
delight and wild activity for the
dog. As soon as the bell rang
summoning his human pals back
to their schoolrooms. he would
snatch up his ball and trot back
home with 1t.
Many times an effort was made
to find the ball. but the dog alone
knew where 1t was.
When some so-calied authori-
ties are at a loss to account for q
dogs illness. they ascribe 1t to
worms. Sometimes they are right
Sometimes they are not.
Every puppy should be wormed
(by some medicine that is thor
ough but not too drastic) by the
time 1t is five weeks old. And
again a week later. Starve the
pup for IL hours beforehand
Then give the medicine. Half an
hour later, feed warm (not
boiled) milk. Repeat this dosage
in the same way q week later.
My own experience is that, II
the worming be thorough. 1t
should last the pup for at least
eight months or q year. There
are exceptions. Of course. But
that is a general rule. The aver
age grown dog seldom needs to
be wormed at all. Never. unless
there is proof Of the presence Of
worms.
Sunlight is extremely beneficial
to growing dogs, but for very
young pups the strong rays can
be decidedly dangerous. Do not
expose puppies under 10-days Of
age to the direct rays Of the sun
for any appreciable length Of
time. Never place q litter Of
young dogs in a pen unless you
are certain that at least part Of
the pen is shaded. Otherwise. q
puppy might suffer q slight sun
stroke. II this should happen
cool his head with damp cloths
and place him in q shady spot.
Keep him as quiet as possible.
Normally he will recover quickly.

|Porosity of Soil,
Lean Diet Held
Vital to Roses

Too much stress on unstable va.
rieties and too little attention u
the mechanical condition of soil
in beds are common faults Of ross
growers. Prof. A. @. Smith. jr.. oi
/ v. p. l.. told the annual banquet
OF the Potomac Rose Society
Thursday night.
Some zoo members and their
guests attended.
Slope drainage Is not neces-
sarily good drainage. Prof. Smith
pointed out, reminding his au-
dience that roots can use with
profit only water filtering through
the soil or brought to the roots by
capillary attraction. The soil mus
not be waterlogged and must con-
tain q large volume of air.
At the same time. he said. ex-
cessiye use Of manure and other
fertilizers can burn roots Of al
plants through ammonia action OF
draw the sap from the roots. A
bed Of $50 plants made by v. p. I
students, which had only soybeans
and rye grass turned under for
fertilization. didn't lose a cane
and did better than 1000 bushes
set with great preparation in q
bed deep-trenched with manure
Some soils bear so much ammonia
through excessive fertilizing that
gypsum must be spread on it as q
counter-agent he said.
The importance Of soil porosity
was brought out by the illustra-
tion that even in chemical gar
dening tests, bushes set in ground
and sifted cinders Jared better
than those set in shattered SLATE
or quartz, because both the latter
possess cleavage characteristic:
too great to be satisfactory me-
diums.
Fishworms should not worry
most gardeners, but the pulveriz-
ing and packing effect Of their
activity in the soil has been found
10 deterrent rather than an aid to
rose culture. Prof. Smith said.
v. P. 7. tests have proved the
wisdom of keeping tried and true
varieties as the basis of every rose
garden. the speaker said. Pink
Princess suffered least from frost
damage and Flambeau was next
best as the basic varieties in cross
ing experiments at BlackSburg,
where, of $4,000 crosses tried, only
20 have been kept under obser-
vation.
Fred Lang acted as POSTMASTER
Niels Hansen conducted a brief
memorial for DR.. Whitman Cross,
founder Of the society. who died
Wednesday. Charles c. Montgom-
cry. society president, called at

estimate of the military situa-

have the military capability OF
expanding their control to the

Valley and of eventually dominat-
ing South China"

realistic United States aid is to
prove effective in stabilizing the
situation in China and in coping
with the dangerous expansion ~ot
communism, that determination
must be established.
Adoption by the United States OF
a policy motivated solely toward
stopping the expansion of COM
munism without regard to the con-
tinued existence of an unpopular re-
pressive government would render
any aid ineffective. Further, United
States prestige in the Far East
would suffer heavily, and wavering
elements might turn away from the

Chiang'S ignoring American ad-
vice was cited by Mr.. Acheson. The
Nationalists then embarked on an
"overambitious military campaign
against the Communists) in the
face of warnings by Gen. Marshall
that it would not only fail but
would plunge China into economic
chaos and eventually destroy the
Nationalist government"
No estimate of military situa-
tion," Mr.. Acheson said, has ever
been more completely confirmed
by the resulting facts
1948 Critical Year.
The critical year in the Chinese
civil war was l948, MIR. Acheson
said. and he quoted American
military observers as reporting that
"the Nationalist armies did not
lose a single battle" in that year
through lack of arms or ammuni-
tion."
What happened, Mr.. Acheson
said, was that the decay" which
American diplomats and military
men had noted in 1894 had
fatally sapped the powers of re-
sistance of the Kuomintang." He
added:
Its leaders had proved incapable
OF meeting the crisis confronting
them. its troops had lost the will
to fight, and its government had
lost popular support.
The Communists, on the other
hand, through a ruthless discipline
and fanatical zeal, attempted to
sell themselves as guardians and
liberators of the people. The Ma
tionalist armies did not have to be
defeated: they disintegrated."
u. S. Aid Reviewed.
Mr.. Acheson reviewed the ex-
tent of American aid to China,
saying that grants and credits to-
tailed about $4,000, 100000 since
the war. plus about $1,000, 100000
worth of war surplus (original
cost marked down for the Chi
nese to $232,000. 900.
But a large proportion OF the
military supplies. Mr.. Acheson
said. has fallen into Communist
hands through the military inep-
titude of the Nationalist leaders,
their defections and surrenders.
