AsSuccessor After so Season

But still many fans and ex-

Cherry failed to put his football
manpower to best use. His deci-

his players for the balance Of the
season because nobody gains by
second-guessing and playing the
game over on Monday morning.
Like all businesses, we will sit
down at the end of the season and

with Blair Cherry of Texas as a
probable successor as head coach.

Modern
Marriage
By Dr.. Paul Popenoe

I'm in my Junior year at high
school," Arthur writes. I'm al
most old enough so that, in case
of war, the Nation would think
was qualified to be drafted for the
defense of my parents home.
They wouldn't take my father, but
they would take me.
I'm husky. I'm on the football
and track teams of my school. If
necessary I could get out and earn
my own living.
Yet my parents continue to
treat me as if I were a child.
They have to order me around,
pick out my clothes, tell me what
time to come in at night-make
all decisions for me. They prac-
tically tell me to eat my cereal, as
if I were still in a high chair, in
stead of high school!
No wonder young fellows run
away from home, Dr.. Popenoe.
Can't you pound little sense into
the heads of parents?"
Some of them need it, Arthur
that's a fact. Sometimes, on the
other hand, teenagers are only
grown up in spots" If you really
act grown up, think your parents
will soon recognize it. Check
yourself on rating scale like this:
l. I make new friends readily.
2. think the most important
thing in life is to help others.
8. I make decisions without a
great deal Of doubt, asking advice,
or changing my own mind.
4. I resist any tendency to feel
sorry for myself.
S. Sometimes I get breakfast
not only for myself but for the
rest of the family.
6. I go out to quite few dances
and other social affairs.
7. I would be much interested
to have a European immigrant
move in next door.
8. do my share of the chores
around the house, without grum-
bling or delaying.
9. I like to be alone sometimes.
10. I think life is an exhilarat-
ing and satisfying adventure.
| Score yourself 10 for each of
those you can answer "Yes." Cut
down your score on each one,
Arthur, according to facts. You'd
want score Of at least rs to pass
If you can't answer "Yes," without
qualification, to seven or eight of
these propositions, go to work on
yourself. If you can answer
Yes" you're on the right track.
