So. Methodist
 And Moire Dame Sci Pass Record

NEW YORK. Oct. 17-R---South- ern Methodist's victory over Notre Dame last Saturday resulted Ill more than miseries for the Irish = it also caused statisticians to scurry for their record books to find out if more passes ever were thrown in a single game. There weren't.
 Figures released today by the Ma tional Collegiate Athletic Bureau revealed that. two all-time records were set. It was the first time that two major teams have tossed 40 or more passes against each other, and the two-team total of 89 losses set a new mark for passing in one game.
 The Mustangs Tipped 45 times, and the Irish came right back with A of their own while winding up on the short end of a 27-20 count.
 Southern Methodist's total of 45 was the third highest in history, eclipsed only by Loyola of Los An geles' 50 and SINUS 47, both last year
 Loyola has been throwing an aver age of 41.5 passes per game. The record for one season is 31 set by Arkansas in 1897. The Loyolans have ignored the ground to the ex- tent that they have averaged only 59.5 rushing yards a game. It hasn't done them much good. though. They have yet to win a game.
 Oregon and Washington ranked third and fifth, respectively, in this department. Oregon has completed 50 of 1l8 attempted passes in four games for a 424 average of com pletions and an average passing gain of 1893 yards per game. Wash ington has averaged sos percent completions with GA of 107 passes attempted in four games and has an average passing gain per game of 1893 yards.
 Meanwhile, Tulsa and College of Pacific took over the total offense and rushing offense leadership, re- spectively. Already the leading scorers of the country, Tulsa piled up 555 yards in whipping Houston last week to shove their yardage average up to 474.7 per game, and skyrocket from seventh place to the top. Washington took Tulsa's old berth with a 431.5 average for four games.

Tree Seeds From
Alaska To NORWAY

Professor H. Heiberg, of the
Norwegian Agricultural College,
and forestry researcher T. Ruden
have come to the United States,
on ECA scholarships, to study for
est management and breeding.
One of their main detectives will
be to visit Alaska and British
Columbia in search of trees that
are specially suitable for reforesta-
ton along the coast of western
and northern Norway. Seeds from
Alaska and British Columbia have
been used experimentally in Nor
way during the past 80 years, with
promising results.
Mr.. Heiberg and Mr.. Ruben will
now seek contacts who can supply
tree seeds from districts with eli
matte conditions that are closely
similar to those prevailing in the
various parts of Norway which
are to be replanted to trees in the
future.

Our fiscal year just closed pre-
scented many interesting factors in
the history of the Sanatorium,
making us justly proud of the
Swedish contributing agencies.
1851 gave us the largest patient
load, with more free care than at
any other time. The total operat-
ing cost reached a new high,
which we can rightfully contribute
to the high cost of living. Then
too, we experienced new and vi
tai advance of accomplishment in
the treatment of patients through
the use of streptomycin, P. A. S.,
as well as surgery and other
treatments.
With the 1851 Christmas Seal on
the way to your home, or maybe
in your possession already, you
cannot forego the opportunity to
give these patients a real lift by
sending us gift which will enable
us to continue our free care SER

needed for many years, is now I'M

known as the Charles Albin Bund-

our Institution will compare with
the best equipped Sanatoria in the
States. The total cost for this
new addition will come close to
100000 which seems exorbitant
and far beyond our financial re-
sources. However, if we, all of us,
will only make fair contribution,
the total cost will soon be met.
We anticipate the wholehearted
interest and support of this prof.
ect by having donations made to-
ward the furnishing of patients
rooms, surgery, laboratory, or X
ray rooms, in memory of departed
loved ones. Those who are unable
to contribute a large amount, we
hope will. direct it to our building
fund. However, we most urgently
invite you to make use of the
Christmas Seals and to contribute
to the free care fund, for which
purpose the Seals are distributed
We are indeed grateful to Mr..
Warner Sallman for his contribu-
ton in perfecting this Seal, and
to all of you friends for your gra-
cious support in this great mis-
sionary enterprise.

Greetings From The Swedish

The original purpose and aim
of the Swedish National Sanator-
ium adopted in 1909 when the San
atorium was Incorporated is still
adhered to, namely, to accommo-
date any and all tuberculosis pa
tents from within it's cooperating
constituency, where finances are
lacking, on a free or partially free
basis. Our last years free care
amounted to $4,000, and we want
to continue helping wherever the
need exists, says j. D. Broman of
the institution in Denver, Color
ado.
1t may interest you to know
that the last month has brought
us three patients from Minnesota,
one from Seattle, two from Chi
cago, one from Massachusetts, and
one from Denver, and two Dis
placed Persons from Europe.
We often dream of rallying 200,-
600 of our people to the annual
support of this Institution with a
donation of from $1.00 to $500.
None would ever miss that
amount, and good done with such
donation can never be evaluated

Klippan, $4,000; Vasa Lodge Fri
het, $4,000 Swedish Clubs Ia
dies auxiliary, $1,000; Svea male

ton, $4,000 has been pledged pri
vately by two individuals. One,
who will offer more in the future,
wishes to remain anonymous. The
other, Oscar Magnuson, member
of the Swedish Club since 1912,
has pledged $1,000.
1t is expected that bylaws will
be written and that the incorpor-
alton and sale of bonds can De

Excitement High at Grove Place
GoUernor Pleads Nth WORKERS

Excitement was high at Grove
Place yesterday as the Governor
made what he considered his final
plea to the laborers to return to
work and bring to a close the
r e e-day-old "Will-o-the-wisp"
strike, which it was claimed was
holding up VICORP mill opera
tons.
Despite the forcefulness of
Governor de Castro's plea in
which he pointed out to some hun
dred and fifty workers that their
actions would give a "black-eve"
to the sugar cane industry in St.
Croix, several women workers
and a handful of men continued
to shout "gibberish-like" words of
dissatisfaction, until the meeting
reached a state of chaotic frenzy.
Finally, the Governor asked Vic
tor Bornn, a member of Vicorp's
Board of Directors, to say a few
words. Mr.. Bornn did not saw
much, since he said the Governor
had covered everything. But in a
booming voice he questioned the
people as to what their desires
were; a question that UP to that
had not been asked. The
answer of the women workers
was that they preferred to work
by the day, while the men seemed
satisfied to work by the Job. Mr..
Bornn got into a huddle with
Management and emerged with
the solution that there would be
work for all, but that all harvest
ing operations would be done by
JOB work, and those who desired
dav work would be given work
cultivating.
