 Many stars were seen. One point ed to faith in God the other To faith in man The one they have followed we have lost. and the ones they counted loss. We follow. Man has become the measure IL is in man his inventions. his ability his designs - that We have placed our trust.
 In the light of the star that points to faith in man alone. We are headed for sure disaster. whether as single man or as a nation of men. It is in God that We should trust.
 Many people have failed to think correctly concerning God. They havo even failed to think correctly concerning Christmas. Several peo- pie from the city were asked the same question by a sidewalk inter viewer The question was What to your mind is the real spirit of Christmas24 One person thought it was symb0lized in the bills that would be due January I. Five oth- CTS thought it was gifts. dinners. and gaia5y. One person felt that Christmas had to do with the Prince of Peace, and Peace on earth good will toward men" That person was an artist.
 That is what our neighbor thinks Christmas meansl What do you think? Does it not in any way re- mind the people of our town. and this nation that Jesus Christ is Savoir of the world?
 We like wisemen, have seen sav- .eral stars One points to faith in God, the others to faith in men. Have we chosen the latter? They saw many stars. One pointed to the true Spirit of Christmas. the others to the false Christmas spirit. The true Christmas Spirit had a hold on the wisemen, for they followed the star to the presenea of Christ
 For these wise men, by following that star found the most precious Gift, the Savior of the world. Have you found Christ? Are you following His star?

Trabert and Maureen
Upset.; RoseWa|| and
Seixas Gain Finals
By the Assoeiofed Press

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 10. -
Wimbledon Champion Vic Seixas
and youthful Ken Rosewall of
Australia won their way into the
finals in the Pacific Southwest
tennis tournament today, but
Maureen Connolly was upset in
the women's play.
Eighteen year old Rosewall
rallied to score major upset
when he defeated the American
champion. Tony Trabert of Gin
cinnati, 10, IS, 6-1, GO.
Seixas knocked off another young
Australian star, Lewis Hoad. in
straight sets. S-6, Ga, 11-9.
Miss Connolly of San Diego,
the United States and Wimble-
don women's champion, was
handed her second major defeat

Akron beat her. 60. IS.
Miss Fry is the national CO.
champion in women's doubles
with Doris Hart of Miami, whom
she will play in the singles finals
tomorrow Miss Hart defeated
Louise Brough of Beverly Hills,
Calf, 6-3, 60.
The victory of Seixas was not
unexpected but Trabert, having
defeated Rosewall in straight
sets IN the recent National cham
pionships at Forest Hills. was
picked as a sure thing today.
Trabert Starts Fast.
Tony started out to make such
a prediction look good. He
busted off the stocky little Aussie
in Is minutes in the first set. He
started out on the second set in
the same fashion, his booming
serves and volleys looking highly
impressive.
But in the sixth game the
rapidly improving Rosewall broKe
Tony's service for the first time.
A line call against Trabert that
even young Ken deplored did not
help Trabert'S cause.
Trabert won the next game
but fell again in the following
game before Rosewall'S perfect
placements. From then on it
seemed that Trabert'S big game
fell apart. Rosewall forced him
into the net with poor results for
Tony and a double fault gave
Rosewall the second set.
The third and fourth sets were
all RoSewall, although in the
fourth Tony pulled himself to-
gether in the early stages to keep
the crowd on edge in a seesaW
exchange.
| SeiXas required a little less
than two hours to dispose of
Hoad for the fourth time this
year.

Southern California Tops
Washington State, 1913
By the Associated Press

PULLMAN, Wash, Sept. 19.-
Aramis Dandoy, a fancy STEP
ping halfback who ran 81 yards
for one touchdown and engi-
neered two others, led South
ern California to a 1918 vic
tory over Washington State to-
day.
Dandoy was the workhorse all
afternoon for the Trojans and
Washington State had nothing
to match him or catch him.
The 20-year-old junior from
Torrance, Calf, was on the
throwing end of the Trojan
passing game but it was his run
ming that had the Cougars in
the hole all day.
Linden Grow went 68 yards
for the second Trojan touch
down in the opening quarter
after Dandoy had spanked the
first 46-yard march.
The Cougars thrilled a crowd
of some 10000 with first-pe-
riod threat but fought a losing
cause the rest of the way.
Bob Burkhart, Washington
States fine quarterback, hit big
Howard McCants on a 57-yard
passing play in the first period
that closed the gap to 1877. and
then the Cougars recovered the
kickoff on the Trojan 18. They
couldn't get it over and the Tro-
jams had little trouble from
then on.
