Disquietins Report
BY NATHAN ZIPRIN

The American Jewish Congress,
through its commission on law
and social action, reports that the
past two decades witnessed a
fifty per cent decline in the en-
rollment of Jewish students in
medical schools throughout the
country.
Since figures tell the story in
holder significance than words, it
is pertinent to point out that
while the year 1896 showed a re-
cord of 21.5 per cent of Jewish
graduates from medical schools,
the combined figures of 1937-1939
showed a percentage of 1873 while
the years 1942-1946 showed de-
cline to 1913 per cent. One need
not be a mathematical genius to
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1950-09-29

for each day. This being the
case the seventh day is called
"Hoshana-Rabbah" which means
the day on which the Hoshanas
are chanted.
QUESTION: Why is this day so
important that so many prayers
are chanted in the synagogue?
ANSWER: The Talmud stated
that the water supply of the
world is judged on Succoth. This
being the final day of Succoth-
it becomes the final day of Judg-
ment for the water supply. Other
Rabbinic sources indicate that
this day is the final day of judg
ment for the human race. While
the judgment is written on Rosh
Hashonah and signed on Yom
Kippur, mankind has until this
seventh day of the Succoth festi-
val to seek forgiveness and abso-
luton. Thus the cantor again
dresses in a white robe for the
morning prayers. 1t used to be
custom to blow the shofar on this
day for the same reason.
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1950-09-29

conclude that if this decline re-
mains unchecked it will not take
long before the medical profess
sion will be "Judenrein."
The situation stems from a vi
cious anti-Jewish quota system
which arbitrarily rejects quallfl-
cations for race and religion, a
system which is as un-Amerlcan
as it is vicious. From the long
range point of view the evil may
in the end be surmounted by edu-
cation and inter-faith movements.
But the problem is one of imme-
diate urgency and its solution
cannot be postponed for the CEN
turtles.
The idea of distinct, even II
non-sectarian Jewish professional
schools does not appeal to us. But
we are beginning to wonder
whether, under the. cirmunstan-
ces, the time isn't ripe for Jewish
leadership to begin thinking IN
different terms.

started referring to him as "the

enough that the squad bought a

Baylor Going After
Best Coach in Land, :
AS Woodruff Quits
BY the Associated Press

WACO, Tex, Jan. THE Bay
lor University Athletic COMMITTEES
famed out today seeking a new
football coach to replace Bob
Woodruff, who quit to go to Florida
at $4,000 more a year. 81
DR.. w. R. White, president Of
Baylor, said each member was
instructed to make any contacts,
deemed advisable but not to make
any commitments. A meeting Of
the committee probably will be
held next Friday at which time all
ideas on the subject will be pooled.
1--WE are going after the best
coach in the land" DR.. White said.
And we are going to work to hold
together everything that has been
accomplished In our rebuilding of
the athletic program in the past
few years under Coach Woodruff"
Woodruff, who recently figured
in an open controversy with Ralph
Wolf, the athletic director, caus-
ing both to resign but with a sub
sequent return of Woodruff as
coach when Wolf slapped down to
be stadium director, asked the
athletic committee last night to
release him from his five-year
contract at $4,000 a year.
DR.. White said he thought the
Baylor situation had been set
tled-that Woodruff had been
given everything he had asked.
Woodruff told me several days
ago that Florida wanted him to
come and see them but he didn't
indicate he planned to leave Bay

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 7. -
Wesley Fesler still has the folk
guessing about when, and If, he's
going to quit as Ohio States foot
ball coach.
Our guess, and it's just a guess,
is that despite all the rumors,
build-up and hullabaloo, Fesler
will forget his business offers and
remain at the Buckeye helm.
And that wouldn't be taking the
easy way out for the two-time
Iall-America, for Fesler knows as
well as anyone that the Bucks
who lose 81 seniors-don't figure to
be powerhouse come next fall.
The resignation reports have
been flying high for almost three
weeks, but Fesler says he is no
closer to making a decision than
he was when the first rumor
reared its head.
Situation Unchanged.
He told Paul Hornung of the
Columbus Dispatch today:
my situation hasn't changed
one bit. I honestly don't know
what will happen do know I
definitely haven't written a letter
of resignation. I haven't even
given any thought to how would
word such letter. when and IT,"
Fesler emphasized: when I
know, you'll all know. Any an
nouncement will be made public
formally and above board. Any
thing else you may hear or read
is strictly guessing and strictly
untrue"
The Buckeye coach continued: :
Everyone, from the president
OF the university on down, has
made it very plain that they want
me to stay"
Right there may be the thing
to sway Fesler's decision. He was
two-time all-America at Ohio
State, he has the interests Of the
university and it's athletic pro-
gram at heart, and now he can
feel he has won a top-f1ight place
in Ohio States official family.
In recent interviews, one with

taken fandom to task and has

ously, inflicting a bad scratch or
wound. BY these you can identify
your python as well as by the really
beautiful color pattern some have.
Pythons and boas usually have
the lower jaw suspension of the
typical snakes, which enables the
reptile to work prey into the mouth,
and the enormous distension of the
entire jaw permits the engulfing OF
very large animal.
From the standpoint of poison
conducting teeth and glands for the
secretion of specific viruseS, all mem
bers of this family are almost harm
less. Among the pythons several
species possess recurved teeth and
some have lancet-Shaped ones, but
these teeth instead of being poison
conductors are used for obtaining
firm grip on prey before hugging
| it to death. Two coils about a man
is sufficient to chush him, and if he
| is slender and narrow of shoulders,
he can be swallowed entire, every
inch of him and his clothing digested

When adverse distribution has
rendered shaky contract soundiy
reached in the bidding, strict
economy may be dictated in the
management of lesser cards such
as tens and mines and sometimes
even eight spots. The promiscuous
play of a ten cost several declarers
their contract when the above
hand was played in a recent tour
nament.
Most pairs chose to play today'S
hand at six spades and in several
instances went down to defeat.
The bidding indicated is regulation
In all respects; the only bid call
ing for comment is North's six
club bid. On the surface it may ap-
pear to be pointless, inasmuch as
q slam is forced, in any event, by
such action. But the point to this
ace-showing bid in tournament
play is that it may enable partner
to contract for a slam in no-trump,
which yields 10 points more and
may result in a top score on the
particular deal, since each hand
constitutes a separate match.
The deuce of hearts was opened
and the nine forced declarer's ace.
The play of the king of spades re-
vealed the bad trump break and
declarer realized that he would
not be able to ruff out his dia-
monds and pick up Vests trumpS.
He extracted the spades and then
decided to 60 for the club suit. In
doing so, he led the ten OF clubs.
This was covered by the king, per-
force, and declarer was able to
build up only two club tricks,
which left him one short of his
contract.
It will be seen that the proper
play from the South hand is the
deuce of clubs. Nothing is to be
gained by playing the ten first.
That card can be used to flnesse
next time. True enough, proper
technique will become material
only if West has a singleton honor,
but since such holding is not be-
yond the stretch of imagination,
why not allow for it? Particularly
since it can be done at no cost
whatsoever.
