When brute strength and Drawn took over
the football teams, the huddle system came
into vogue so that the dumb ones could
be told what to do.
At any rate, the trend toward amateur
football has been quickened by the action
of the W. & l.. Board of Trustees. 1t is
possible that other colleges and UNIVERSE
ties will follow this lead, With the advent
of televlsion bringing the best games Of
the collegiate season each Saturday, and
professional games on Sunday afternoon,
college football has keen competition The
football fan who has no close college pref
erence finds televison football interesting
and entertaining. OF course, nothing can
take the place Of a Homecoming game at
old Alma Mater, the game being an occa-
sion for renewing old friendships. We be
lieve this could continue with the teams
operating on an amateur basis.
Our suggestions would be to select one
college or university in each state to repre-
sent the state in football. The State could
afford to subsidize the team, which could
play the best team in other states. For
example, the University of Virginia might
lbe chosen the Virginia team, and then every
football enthusiast at the national level
would support that team. The balance Of
the colleges would conduct football on an
amateur basis, as was done formerly, play
ing in keen competition and with enthus-
assn.

circles is bound to come sooner or later,
and we believe Washington and Lee has
taken a logical step. When other of the
head-on they may follow the university's
lead, too.

Better Worship. Better Living

How would you improve the
worship in your church BY having
better choir BY getting more
people out? BY having more elo-

sanctuary more beautiful All
these things could help. but they

point The vital question is What
effect does this worship have on
the lives Of those Who take part
in it, If change in the manner
Of worship does not make for bet

public worship is precisely Chris

find fellowship at its highest level

A Shared Faith

Consider one very important
form OF fellowship Worship
that is, public worship in church
on Sundays or otherwise Why do
we worship together? Wouldn't it
be just as good il each Of US Wor-
shipped alone Private worship is
necessary too 10 be sure, Enter
into thy closet and shut thy door"
is still Christ's directive. But
Christ himself joined regularly in
pubic worship even though IN his
day that was pretty formal One
Of the reasons for public worship
is that it is a united witness, a
testimony of faith Many churches
repeat the Apostles Greed on sun
day mornings But even when they
do not public worship is the ex
preston Of faith which can be
shared, and is shared When the
communists took over the Chinese
government they did not attack
the churches directly What they
did was to appoint official meet
ings. and require every ones az
tendance. at the hours o. Sunday
usually set for church services
They knew very wei that if yQu

witnessing to their faith, and YOU
are helping that faith 10 wither
away When you 90 10 church On

The report, drawn up by a re-
search committee of the Com

project committee in Northeast
Washington, also suggests that
police procedure differs only
slightly in handling the first of
fender committing minor Of
fenses and the serious offenders
with long records.
Analysis of the cases OF the
So children. the report said,
showed that more than 40 per
cent were brought in" for minor
offenses. The offenses ranged
from stealing candy in q super
market to street fighting.
Two cases were under the
heading Of assault with a dam
gerous weapon" One dealt with
a 17-year-old boy who attacked
a man with a can-opener. Booked
on the same charge was a 12-
year-old boy who used an empty
beer can to defend himself from
another boy trying to take money
from him.
Both go down in arrest sta
