The Junior class Skating Spreewas a financial as well as a socialsuccess, according to Virginia Gem-mo'.r and Alfred*Flacitta, who «r«r#co-chairmenof the affair sponsoredTuesday, February 13, at the Roll-er Bowl.

The proceeds from the valentineskating party will go to help fi-nance the Junior Prom in theSpring quarter.

Virginia and Alfred want tothank Larry Hoeschen, Abner De-Felice and Larry McDonnell whowere in charge of transportation,and also the entire Junior classwho aided in the selling of tickets.J

A floor show was presented and|a good time was had by all ac-cording to those who attended.

His Excellencey the Most Rev.Gerald Shaughnessy, S. M., S. T.D., Bishop of Seattle, has gra-tiously given another practicalmanifestation of his keen interestin Catholic higher education in hisdiocese and in Seattle College. HisExcellency has offered aji annualmedal to the senior who securesthe highest grade in the final oralexamination in philosophy and re-ligion. This information was is-sued from the office of James P.McGoldrick, S. J., dean. The oralexamination referred to in phil-osophy and in religion is requiredof all graduating seniors. Themedal will be conferred at theannual graduation. It will, as isobvious, be the ambition of eachsenior to secure this most coveteddistinction, to be winner of thebishop's medal.

Keener competition and.morethorough preparationof the thesesfor the examination will doubtlessbe the immediate results securedfrom the offering of his medal byHis Excellency.

Last Sunday, February 11, six ofSeattle'sparishesobservedCatholicPress Sunday. This is an annualaffair in the Catholic Press MonthCampaign which is held everyFeb-ruary.

Special efforts for this CatholicPress Sunday were madeunder di-rectionofHis Excellency, the Bish-op. Six priests were appointed tolead in the work. The six parishesthat stressed Catholic Press Sun-

lips, father of RosemaryPhillips, a former stu-dent of Seattle College,last night died suddenlyat Providence Hospital.

May his soul and allthe souls of the faithfuldeparted rest in peace.

In the February 3, 1940, issue ofAmerica, Arnold Lunn wrote anarticle entitled "As An English-man Sees It." In this article Mr.Lunn sought American favor andtried to abolish any prejudiceagainst the English by stating thatwe were only prejudiced becauseof England's past history whichactually differed slightly fromAmerican history in policy. Thepolicy that Irefer to is the ac-quisition of new territory.Idon't know if Mr. Lunn is un-

familiar with American history orif he purposely ignored it in at-tempting to accomplish his pur-pose. Whichever it was though,it was enough to defeat the pur-pose of his article in the mindsof most informed Americans, be-cause it was nothing morenor lessthan a base aspersion on everyAmerican because of our history.Iquote Mr. Lunn's article:"Other critics affect to see no

difference between British andGerman landgrabbing save the cen-turies in which they took place.Admittedly, the British and Amer-icans have proved successful land-grabbers with the excellent resultthat theAmerican Continent enjoystoday a European rather than aRed Indian Civilization."

British LandgrabbingHere Mr. Lunn over-rates v s

since he places us on a par withBritish landgrabbing. I'm sorrythat we can't claim the honor, buthistory denys us a just place inthe sun with Britain in landgrab-bing. Landgrabbing seems to be anadequate term to describe themethod of acquisition of territoryby Britain because it is very welllknown that almosta quarterof theearth's surface was acquired byGreat Britain by either fraud ormight. But it is also a fact thatAmerica can't aspire to the samehonors in landgrabbing, a s Mr.Lunn so aptly describes Britain'sacts of subreptionand enthrallmentby military domination, becausethe history of America won'tverifyit. ,

In defense of this claimIofferthe following history of the acquis-ition of territory by the UnitedStates. Before Ibegin, be itnoted, that in his quotation Mr.Lunn used the word '"Americans."The word Americans can only beused to denote the citizens of theUnited States after the war forindependence from perfidious Al-bion. Since Mr. Lunn used theword,Iassume that he recognizesthis fact.

Jack RyanConfidentially

This is Catholic Press Month, according to our bestadvices. It has oftenoccurred to us to ask just whatthatphrase means. Does it mean especially that weall must subscribe to three or four Catholic period-icals? Does Catholic Press Month mean that everyCatholic should sit down and write out a blisteringtiradeagainst the forces of evil? .. .Just what DOESthe whole idea embody?

Our thought on the subject would be that thehierarchy of the Church has set aside this time tocause its sons and daughters to stop and consider fora moment.

— Stop and consider the effects of secularpress. We have seen time and again the propagandathat has found its way onto the pages of even ourmost conservative newspapers. We have all seen thesly, underhanded articles concerning the Church insome of our leading picture magazines.

It is tocombat these insidious influences that theCatholic press has been founded qnd then sponsoredby the Church. Many of the Catholic periodicals ofour day are being published to fight isolated evils.America, for instance, has set as its especial goal,the extermination of Communism. Other papershave strivenand are still striving to show the fallaciesof other idiotic philosophies. It, naturally, cannotbe expected of us to subscribe to them all.— Rather,it is advocated that we take our diocesan paper,wherein all right thinking is found in the news of theday. Then, if our financial and mental abilities aresuch as to warrant the taking of another, more spe-cialized periodical, it is urged that we do so.

As a resolution that we might all take, may wesuggest the following: "As a Catholic, I solemnlypromise to subscribe tomy diocesanpaper, for Iknowthat that paper will bring me all the Catholic newsand that it will present the Catholic news fairly andhonestly. I further promise to subscribe, if I am able,to one of the leading Catholic periodicals. I knowthat in them is found all the right-thinking of theChurch!"

Every once in a while this business of reviewing current booksbecomes too much of a good (or bad) thing. Confidentially, onlythe strictly moralbooks get in this column. Those that appear other-wise are put on the debit side and quietly forgotten. Current litera-ture if fine and all that, but it's always fun to leave it for a time andturn to some favorite author whose work youhave read and re-read.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning's "Sonnets From The Portugese" arepoems that have infinitely more to offer than sentimental love lyrics.Of course, Robert Browning might have been slightly prejudiced bythe fact that these poems were written for him; but in referring tothe publication of them in 1850 he is reported to have said, "I darednot keep to myself the finest sonnets written in any language sinceShakespeare's."

The Cinderella-like story of Elizabeth Browning adds,Ithink, tothe enjoyment of her poetry. As you read it you can weave it intoher life. You can also weave lines of it into your own life, and thisworks very well, too. To paraphrasesomeone somewhere: The poetmerely expresses what you have always wanted to say and couldn't.

The beauty burns brighter for me in such sonnets as, "I ThoughtOnce How Theocritus Had Sung" and "If Thou Must Love Me."

Looking SidewaysA Gaston

—International Style

News dispatches from Helsinki tell us that finally,the brave Finn army is tiring. The Bear that walkslike a man is lumbering forward at last. And whyshouldn't he? According to the best military experts,an attacking army canexpect to lose two men to one,but that theoffense will usually be successful if thatpercentage of men is sacrificed. Russia has thrownforces against the Finns that have outnumbered thedefenders five to one.

But that is all common knowledge. It is also com-mon knowledge that many of the nations have prom-ised the Helsinki government 'concrete assistance.'Thus far, that assistancehas, outsideof some Swedes,been all talk. It is hard to understand the Europeanoutlook. England, France, and even Germany hasnothing to fear more than the onslaught of Com-munism, yet all those nations sit back and wait fortheother to send men into the besieged country. Waris seldom justifiable, but it seems to us that in cir-cumstances such as these, there need be no qualmsof conscience on anyone's part if they help thedoughty Finns in saving, single - handed, Westerncivilization.

By Vivian JonesIf you sit through a Shakespeare

class one hour every day, you aresure to appreciate the followingmasterpiece written by a studentof the classics. Even if you don'tknow anything about Shakespeare,you'll probably appreciate it any-way.1. Who were the lovers?— "R-

omeo and Juliet."2. What was their courtship like?— "A Midsummer Night's

Dream."13. What was her answer to his

proposal?— "As You Like It."4. Of whomdidhe buy the ring?— "Merchant of Venice."5. Who were the best man and

maid of honor?— "Antony andCleopatra."

6. Who were the ushers?— "TwoGentlemen of Verona."

I 7. What time ofmonth was it?—

"Twelfth Night."8. Who gave the reception?

—"The Merry Wives of Windsor."

!). What was his chief occupationafter marriage?— "Taming ofThe Shrew."

10. What was her disposition like?"The Tempest."

11. What caused their first quar-rel?— "Much Ado AboutNoth-ing."

12. What did their married lifeturn out to be?

—"Comedy of

Errors."18. What did married life resem-

ble?— "Love's Labours Lost."14. In what kind of a place did

they live?—

"Hamlet."15. What did they give each other?— "Measure for Measure."16. What Roman ruler brought

about a reconciliation?—

"Jul-ius Caesar."

17. What did their friends say?—

"All's Well That Ends Well."

"Deadline Neurasthenia"— an imiplacable and fatal dis-ease, indeed— the scourge of all newspaper writers; andnow it has befallen us. True, we are not newspaper-men(for two reasons);but we dohave a deadline. Each Mondayat high noon the written prattle which appears in thiscorner every week is due in Room 29. Each Monday athalf past high noon we sit down to a typewriter in Room29, and with a scowling editor watching our very breath-count, we wrack our weary brain for something that bearsat least the faint ear-marks of humour. Every five minutescomes the harassing reminder: "Deadline is Monday noon;deadline is Monday noon."

Deadline, deadline, deadline . . .Finally, overcome with complete mental stagnation and

trembling with fear, we meekly propose to the mercilesstaskmaster posing as an editor that perhaps we shouldpostpone the deadline to Tuesday noon. Instead of re-lenting, she seizes us by the few tousled hairs left on ourworn head, reseats us at our table, fairly pushes the type-writer into our lap, and slashes a cat-o'-nine-tails in frontof our face, at the same time commanding: "Write!"

But when we insist that we are completely devoid ofbright and funny ideas, she begins to soften and sometimesbreaks down with numerous suggestions.

"Why not mention the fact that when it came time forthe S. C. skiers to retire at Shuksan last Saturday night,Jack Terry produced several deluxe casket-covers fromBonney-Watson funeral Parlors (paid plug) and nonchal-antly proceeded to use them as blankets. Also, you couldannounce that the physics department has learned by ex-tensive experiment that both ends of the new trolleys stopat the same time. Physicist Donald Styer has just dis-covered that no matter how many holes a roof has, it willnot leak in dry weather. Up in the physiology laboratory,Miss Kathleen Mitchell and co-workers have found that ananglewormhas the same expression at both ends.

"Too, you might comment on George Washington's birth-day. Not everyone knows thathe had thirteen toes. (Gad-zooks! What did his mother do when she wanted to play"This little piggie, etc." with him?) Then, someone mightbe interested in knowing that Ann Smith is all excitedbecause she is withdrawing from school to visit 'GrandmaColeman' inLos Angeles. The cause of the excitement isn'tthe visit with 'Granma' but rather, aprobable luncheon withJimmy Stewart, Hollywood's most eligible bachelor."

Thus fortified with brilliant thoughts we once againcommence to type:

"Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid ofthe party.

"Now is the time for all..."Now is the time ..."Now!BOOM!

Ye Scribe was present ata couple of pre-season gamesat the Husky Gym. To ourinexperienced eye it seemedthat a sophomore, Lindh,wasthe weakest playeron a weakteam. His shooting form waspoor and his accuracy worse.It seemed that our opinionwas shared by. a quite a fewof the students who ex-pressed their lack of appre-ciation by the well knownboos. When Lindh was stillhovering between the statusof a sub anda starter he waspicked by "Hec" as the play-er most likely to develop intoa star. lam glad to see thatthe prediction of the likeablecoach has come true. Theyoung sophomore recentlybecame the first player intheconference to break the hun-dred mark in scoring. Itmust be gratifying to Hecthat this player has deliveredas anticipated. It is the onebright spot in the poorestseason Edmundson has ex-perienced in 20 years at theU.

Two new stars have appeared onthe badminton horizon. They areTed Mitchell andGwen Welt.

Miss Welt, while not a flashyperformer, is steady and she hasbeen improving rapidly.

Mitchell, a first year man at thecollege, lacked experience whenhe first reported to Coach DeanMoran, but with steady practicehas developedinto one of the lead-ing badminton players on thesquad. Ted, a quick learner, haspicked up a good many pointersfrom Coach Moran and has putthem to gooduse inhis matches.Skiers Have 'Tops'

In Week-End Trip

Itmay be that one reasonInowlong so to see golf get ahead hasgrown out of the history of caddiescholarships, for there are 20-oddEvans' scholars going throughNorthwestern University at thepresent time; but there is some-thing about college golf, in spiteof its general quiet, that alwaysgives me the feeling of the homefor the true amateur spirit of thegame. It may be, too, there isthe feeling of gratitude to the Na-tional Collegiate Athletic Associa-tion who received so kindly anun-known official, one who had triedhis puny strength against politicalgolfing giants for 30 years.

Now the greatest difficulty forthe golf official is lack of time.But this was partly remedied inmy

case by an invitation to play the1939 championshipat the WakondaClub, Des Moines, lowa. The col-lege golfers were invited to go tomany other cities whoseinvitationswere regretfully declined.

Before setting forth fully uponthe voyage of officialdom, L. W.St. John, the father of N. C. A. A.golf,arranged a meeting with Pro-fessor W- B. Owen, president ofthe N.C. A. A., at San Francisco.The president kindly received meand allowed me to tell him myviews and aims. He wished meluck on my official golfing questand gave me assurance of hissupport while on the work. He im-mediately wrote some useful let-ters on my behalf. He is a fineman. Itwas easy with his supportand advice, andIpledged my bestefforts. The N. C A. A. standssquarely behind the movement formore and better golf in the col-leges.

Preparations for the National In-tercollegiate then began under theN. C. A. A. flag. They reachedinto the four corners of the na-tion. A vote of thanks should begiven by college golfers to a com-mittee of Mr. St. John, Mr. Pay-seur and Mr. Bushneell for pre-liminary work.

All went well even to answeringofficialquestions. Inevery instanceIspoke candidly from long-, hfcdexperience. Iboarded the planefor Des Moines carrying my preci-ous possessionof a lifetime of golfknowledge without my golf clubs.This event,Isoon learned, repre-sented a boy's world of hard workand rigid discipline. Iam a be-liever of putting the ball on thetee and taking it out of the cupin the fewest number of strokes.Ihave never called technicalityin my long life on the links.

In the preparations,Idiscovered(Continued on Page 4.)

From the very earliest days ofmy tournamentplaying,Icherisheda great desire to be a golf official.My mother andIagreed,however,that no person who played in anevent should ever, in the most in-direct way, have anything to dowith decisions, large or small, ofthe playing of a tournament inwhich he participated.

Just about a year ago when Iwas wondering whether perhapsmy possession of more knowledgeof golf than anyone else in Ameri-ca would die with the increasingcares of business, from nowhere, asit were, came an offer to be thechairmanof the NationalCollegiateAthletic Association golf commit-tee. Iwas convinced while think-ing it over that here would makean interesting place of pilgrimagefor an aging golfer with a rever-©nt adiniriitii/ii lur urc on*mvo v-*

By CHARLES EVANS(The following is the first of a

series of articles on golf as writ-ten by Charles Evans, Jr., theformer National, Western Open,National Amateur, and WesternAmateur champion; he is, at pres-ent, chairman of National Colleg-iate Athletic Association golf com-mittee. These articlesare furnishedthrough the courtesy of the Na-tional Collegiate Athletic Associa-tion— The Sports Editor).

There is an untold story of thedramatic happenings of my golflife afterIlost my championshipthatIshould like to tell sometime.It would be the equal of a pres-ent day novel in action, dramaand heart throbs, and could applyprobably, to all ex-champions o fevery sport.

After a long afternoon of moresport the caravan of cars startedfor home as shadows climbed downthe mountain side. The thanks ofthe party go out to Mr. and Mrs.Richard Turner who kindly ac-companied thegroup.Father Logandeserted his hikers for the occasionto offer up the Holy Sacrifice onSunday morningand a goodly num-ber showed their appreciation forthis privilege by receiving HolyCommunion.

After three hours of fun thecrowd met at the Inn for lunchand the exchanging of notes. Try-ing to make a hill when the skiswould insist on slipping back, en-deavoring to "heriing-bone" andsucceeding only in tangling one skiwith another, trying to rise aftera spill only to find that all sup-ports crumbled to leave one feelingvery helpless indeed. All agreedthat these trialsof thenovice werecancelled by the successful and ex-hilerating descent of even onehill,the more so if prone figures werepasseden route.

Some were good and somethought they were, and some hadonly a savingsense of humor whichenabled them to keep their poisewhen they had lost their balanceand lay buried in the snow driftswhich lined either side of the path— but allhad agrand time as theyrollicked merrily over the slopesof Mt. Baker on the week-end ski-ing trip. Ski prexy Joe English hadworked out all the details of foodand lodging. But one thing wasleft to chance

—the weather. And

when the Collegians found a brightsun shiningbrightly overthe crisp,undulating hills of this skiers' par-adise there was action aplenty.

No sooner were skis attachedthan the crowd of fifty collegiansdisappeared on almost as manydifferent hills. The experts hiedthemselves off on a stiff trek toTable Mountain. The more prudentpracticed on gentle slopes which.promised fair hopes of a success-ful flight to the bottom, thoughas often as not the bottom of asnow drift was eventually theirdestination.

Who is the guy everybody hates? Who is the guy every-body loves? Who blows his whistle too much and ruinsthe game? Who never blows his whistle and lets playershalf kill each other? Who is the blind man? Who is thehawk-eyed official? Who is the stuffed, striped shirt? Whoought to goback to the old country? Who is the guy whois always on the spot? THE REFEREE.

Of all the dangerous occupations that exist, the athleticofficial or Knight of the Striped Shirt, leads the pack. Thispoor harried individual is never right. Someone is alwayscontesting his decisions. "Oh you robber! You bum!Blind man! Thickhead! Rum-dumn!"

What can be done about it? You tell me. As far as Ican see there will always be a year 'round open season onall athletic officials. What will the end be? Well, if thesituation goes on and on the time will come when the ath-letic contest will be dropped and officials infull dress willbe offered to the spectators with no holds barred. At anaverage of a dollar ahead someone will clean up.

That is the poor referee, although they are gettingbetterprotection than in past years. In the old days the winnersgot the glory and the losers got the referee. No kiddin'!Last year in a hotly-contested high school basketball game,a father of one of the players figured his son's team wasbeing rooked by the official. Result. Excited papa climbeddown from the stands and hung a left hook on the officialand almost broke up the game. Baseball is even worse.Players,officials,and even spectators arein constant dangerof a furiously thrown popbottle. Inarrowly missed decapi-tation at a ball game two years ago when someone decidedto take matters into his own hands and blast the umpire.The fact thatIwas in the way did not dampen his ardor.

Mr. Varnell isn't kidding when he mentions the poorgymnasium facilities of the Seattle Public High schools. Itook a looke-see at one the other day— a can of sardineswith an overload— Ed Waite was forced to drop from theVarsity squadon account of his ankle. Another injury mighteasily result in apermanent limp

—Can you imagine? After

the Sports Department predicts fine skiing weather for theS.C. Ski Club trip last week-end, it snowed all day Satur-day—Hmlmmm—lt looks like the second intramural basket-ball league has gone bust— to bad— The freshman squadtravels to Oak Harbor tonight to tangle with the local highschool there. Best of luck, Greenies— Lorrayne Eisen (firstgirl to be mentioned in the column) is the backbone of wom-en's badminton at S.C— Either Everett High or SeattlePrep is the best team in the state. Everett will have achance to prove it hi the State Tournament while Prep doesnot— The logical answer is a game between Prep andEver-ett—So far an official challenge by Prep has not been an-swered by the authorities at Everett— Form your own opin-ion—Lack of size is the only thing slopping Bob Roy fromtearing' college basketball apart. He has everything butaltitudeSEZME

Here is a welcome piece of news to all you guys and gals.Transporation will be furnished to and from Lacey on thenight of the game for the lowest possible cost. It won'tgo over two-bits. Alsoyour admission isnothingmore thana flourish of your Student Body card. The game is on aWednesday night just before the holidays so you don'thave to worry about studies. In other words, there isnothing stopping you from going. More so than beforethe team will need your support. The Laceyirien werecaught off guard in the first game. Itwon't happen again.They are fully prepared and will play on their home floor.That means a lot. It means that the S.C. Maroons willhave to play a lot harder game than the previous one. Itmeans that every fellow on the team, on the floor andon the bench is going- to need your reassuring chatter. Aproud and peppery bunch of rooters will make any teamfight harder and play better. Whaddya say, gang?HERE ANDTHERE

COMING ATTRACTIONSt. Martin's versus Seattle College on Wednesday, Feb-

ruary 21! Ranger against Chieftain again. What more canwe ask for another riotous basketball game? No one canforget the first contest which the Laceymen won 43 to 41.There was never more than six points difference betweenthe battling squads. Tooth andnail,up and down the floor.The lead changing hands time after time. Zooming howitzershots from 'way out. Short peppery blasts at the basket.Impossible one-handedhook shots that came out of nowhereto slip through the hoop. Dazzlingpasses. Moans, cheers,

shrieks. Breathless silence. Boy, amItired.Youcan be sure of all the same thrills in the Ranger gym

when the boys tangle again. This the THE game for theChieftains. They must win to retain the Italian trophy.Still, St. Martin's is the natural favorite to cop the seriesand the trophy. Especially since the college five has lost twovaluable first-string men in Ed Waite and Dave Dunton,

center and guard, respectively. Their loss is a real setbackto the -Maroon basketteers. Waite was especially effectiveunder both baskets; however, the S.C. squad is improvingby leaps and bounds. Long arduous practice sessions haveleft their mark. It is now a sure footed, accurate passing,and cooperative team that doesn't waste shots. It is thethought of another crack at St. Martin's that makes thefellas put on that extraspurt.

Treasurer's OfficeAnnounces Autumn

Fees AreLowered (Continued from Page 2.) Old and new members of the PiSigma Chi, .pre-med honorary atthe College, celebrated Founder'sDay lastnight witha banquet heldat Bill Berard's home. Thirteenmembers of the club sat down withFather Beezer, moderator,and Dr.Werby, foundress.

The entire club was present withalumni, John Power and GeorgeCostello attending. Other memberspresent werePresidentDan Hogan,Ernest Tardiff, Joe Le Grand, BillBrown, Jim Cunningham and BillBerard.New members who attend-ed the banquet for the first timewere Ray Mongrain, Bill Kelly,Dick Ross, Tom Smeall and BillYoung.

This is probably the last time allof the Pi Sigma Chi will be to-gether as John Power will leavefor the University of TennesseeMedical School this Spring quarter.

To simplify matters for thestudents and the Treasurer's Office,it has been arranged that a flatrate of $35.00 per Quarter will beassigned in the future, accordingto the Very Reverend Francis E.Corkery, S. J., President.

Previously it had been the pro-cedure to collect a special fee forthe Associated Students, Registra-tion, Library and Spectator. Underthe present system, the $35.00,though less than the sum previous-ly collected, will meet the entireexpense of the student per Quar-ter, with the exception of labora-toy fees-

This is in harmony with what isbeing- done in the more progres-sive colleges today, and will, it isbelieved, prove beneficial to all inSeattle College as it has provedin other institutions.

sity she retained her affiliationswith this group and workeduntir-ingly for a number of years to fur-ther their cause.It was during oneof their spirited displays in Wash-ington, D.C., that she, along withmany others, was arrested andsentenced to spend thirty days injail. During this time her onlyreading matter was a Bible whichshe believes was responsible for herconversion to the Catholic faith afew years later.

In Social Welfare FieldIt was several years after her

conversion that Miss Day enteredthe social welfare field, the occa-sion being the meeting of PeterMaurin, who in his manner of lifeand teaching must be compared toSaint Francis. At Mr. Maurin'ssuggestion, Miss Day accepted vol-untary povertyand withpracticallyno money put out the first editionof the Catholic Worker.

Instill Christian SpiritThe aim and purpose of the

founders of the Catholic Workeris to perform the works of mercywhile indoctrinating withthe Chris-tian spirit those with.whom theycome in contact. They endeavor togive reasons for the faith that isin them; they arenot merely phil-anthropists doling out palliatives.They are working for "a newheaven and a new earth whereinjustice dwelleth."

my duties were varied. Ialwayshad the feeling thatIwas distrust-ed as to ability to care properlyfor the finances, all athletes hav-ing beennotoriously poor that way,soIturned it all over to Ted Pay-hseur, making him secretary andtreasurer of the committee.Ireally enjoyed these prelim-

inary days, fortunate in knowingmy subject. Ifound the membersof my committee very interestingand helpful, all realizing the greatneed in a big country like Americaof bringing college players moreclosely together.Ikept the good of golf in mind

and each day drove toward themajor idea with diplomatic care.In this work the monotony wasbroken by talking to the commit-tee, and Iremember hundreds ofconversations with Ted Payseur, afellow who meant nothing to methen, but who afterwards meantsomeone forever to be rememberedby college golfers. Our wholecommittee wants to be a stimulantto college golf. It hopes for evenmore love, enthusiasm, and ambi-tion to be fired into the hearts ofthe school golfers. N. C. A.

Preparations for a major cham-pionship are slow, but Ienjoyedevery day and night of it. Some-what weary, I looked out uponthat fair green lowa course andfound it good.

that if the New York Yankees donot hang up their fifth straightpennant this year, the AmericanLeague race result will be an up-set.

No club in the AmericanLeague(and only one major league clubin modern history of the game)has ever won four pennants in arow. The Yankees ran their stringto that number in 1939. No clubever had won four World Seriesin a row. The Yanks did that,too.

With Red Ruffing pitching, BillDickey catching, Joe Dimaggio incenter field and fellows like JoeGordon, Frankie Crossetti, RedRolfe, George Seiklrk and CharlieKeller spotted through the lineup,it looks as though the Yankeescan continue for a while longer.

No Threat in SightThe Red Sox, who have made

the best showingin the attempt tooverhaul the Yankees in the lasttwo years, still lack a first-ratecatcher, and are wearing out insome other positions. Clevelandshould be stronger with Bob Fel-ler still forging toward the peakand destined to be one of the greatpitchers of all times. Below theYanks, Red Sox and Indians, arebunched the Tigers, White Sox,andSenators, and they are followed bythe Browns and Athletics.
