more concludes Sadler, IF you have good
sense of humor you will not become overcon-
scientious or fanatical - nor are you as likely
to become snob."
His studies also show that a sense of humor
is a powerful ally in overcoming fear and
anxiety, and is much more effective in this
respect than determination or will power.
Q: HOsp do most people stack up in the
sense-of-hunsor department?
A: Psychologist Louise Omwake conducted
sense-of-humor test on hundreds of college
students from leading universities all over the
us. Its purpose was to grade and assess
their general sense of humor. Jokes which
were used in connection with the test were
carefully selected from collection of thou
sands of favorite stories.
The survey revealed a marked tendency on
the part of the students to overTate them
selves on their sense of humor. For example,
one person out of four considered himself a
wit of the highest order, and only one out of
hundred rated himself even slightly below
par Actually. although the jokes were all ex-
tremely simple not single one of the stu
dents understood all of them. And a majority
of them rated pointless jokes as very funny

ME better your sense of humor, the more
l. enjoyment you're getting out of life.
Though virtually everyone prides himself on
his sense of humor, surveys indicate that
actually a surprising percentage of Americans
are sadly lacking in this department.
At least one university has taken steps to
remedy this situation by inaugurating spe-
cial sense-of-humor course. And science,
which has been investigating the situation
from all angles, has come up with flock of
provocative findings. Let's take look at
some of them via question-an answer.
First and biggest question - ,vhy is a
sense Of hunsOr important?
Ans,rer: Psychologists agree that a we'll
rounded sense of humor is one of the most
priceless assets man can possess. For one
thing, it helps man regard things in their
true perspective, keeps him from making
mountains out of molehills and feeling sorry
for himself. A man who can see the funny side
of a situation - even if it happens to be a try
ing one - is far less likely to blow his top"
than one who lacks this ability. Indeed,
man with well-developed sense of hurnor IS
much less subject to irritation, consequently
gets along with people better. Also. the
ability to laugh at oneself provides valuable
release from mental and nervous tensions.
Sense of humor," says the noted psychia-
trst, William S. Sadler, lis the antidote for
taking oneself too seriously" He finds that
people who are we'll developed in this respect
lead better-balanced lives, are less likely to
neglect proper recreation. less apt to over
work and endanger their health. Further
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1950-11-05

funny. They were obviously defective 50 far
as sense of humor is concerned, or else so
uncertain of their ability to discern humor
that they laughed at everything they felt was
supposed to be funny, whether they saw any
point to it or not.
Q: is a sense of hunsOr something you
hare to be born ,Uith, or can it be
developed?
4: Findings of educators at the University
of Florida show that you can develop sense
of humor in much tire same way you cult
vate an appreciation Tor music. A special
sense-of-humor course was introduced some
time ago at that university. So popular was
the course and so strong were the protests
when it was temporarily discontinued that
the university now plans to make the study
permanent part of its curriculum. Professor
w. E. Moore, the course instructor, describes
its main purpose as follows: ITO develop
the students ability to perceive the comic
elements in situations and in people without
being upset by them - and, above all, to
recognize the comic elements in himself"
Says one leading educator: JUS. colleges
offer courses in almost every conceivable sub

New Left HaIfback
Tops -Four Problems
OF 6. U. Grid SQUAD

Georgetown University's spring
football practice starts today and
Coach Bob Margarita has this
program to be completed between
now and the Blue Gray intrasquad
game early in May:
Find a new left halfback.
Improve quarterback play 100
per cent.
Add strength to the line, espe-
cially the tackles.
Put more variety in George
towns attack.
The left halfback problem is of
prime Importance because Billy
Conn, who did about 80 per cent
of the running from that spot
last fall, left in midyear because
of scholastic difficulties. Babe
Baranowski, who did the other 20
per cent. will be graduated this
spring.
Two holdovers were listed at
left half. Dick Barba and Warren
McFague, but they played on de-
tense. The answer may be found
in Bugs Thompson, former ALL
High player at Tech and trans
fer from Clemson, and Jack
O'Mahoney, up from the frosh.
AS for quarterbacks, there are
two holdovers in Frank Mattingly
and Bob Deacon. AS juniors next
fall they should be much better,
but they need to polish their ball
handling and deception. Also they
need to learn how to run with the
ball. Mattingly did most of the
quarterbacking last fall, but Dea-
cons improvement toward the end
of the campaign is certain to get
him plenty of chances this time.
In the line. tackle was the thin
position last fall. Freshmen may
help there. with such holdovers as

At the close of the 194o racing
season Oil Capitol was extremely
prominent in the 2-year-old divi-
sion. On November 5 at Pimlico
the gray son of Mahmoud COM
pleted his l949 campaign with a
smart victory in the Pimlico Fu-
turity. That race was Oil Capitol's
only-effort outside the Middle West
circuit. and the performance at
Pimlico left Fasteners talking
