WKJJKLiU OF SPORTS HEW STARS FOR ‘34 - ‘35? With the opening ot school brings few promising athletic stars. “Big ohn’’ Elliot, the only one that woukl haye #iown anything, is lost because •f the four year ruling. Vaughn, Inst year’s freshman football star from Tech has a slight chaaoe of coming through this ya.tr for that Maroon first team. | Of all the color’d boys ent’ed in our Ublic high schools at least more than these 2 lads should be outstanding, f course, there are a few others, but they don’t show any real interest in the fields of sport. Take Earl Ander son, for instance, one of Marty Thomas’ ■oteges and center for the Mid City ces, league champions, has what it akes to make a basketball player, yet he fails to show any real interest in this port in tbe school. He would rather play on some indepenrent team. Weil, it had almost gotten by tha Theasus Standifer, for the past two years been a tackle flor the Maroon gridiron .squad. And this fall ishould oe In there in the final check up. Perhaps it is wondered why so many fail to show interletU in these sports. well, the answer is easy, there is usu ally some girl at the foot of it ail. His ‘iHiortf' is *escor((in^ one of tie weaker sex home dressed in neat taildred suits, rather than bumping against hard, hot, sweating bodies on the grid iron or on a basketball court Little do they realize that this sort of action does not in any way build up *no body physically or mem ally, but distracts the mind from, “amost" everything,” but the girl. Less concentration on girls land more on spur's wouid give us a lot better athletics and CITIZENS. Edward ‘•Lofty" Lane Sports Editor * SCHOOL DAYS By Paul Jay School days, school days, dear old golden rule days are with us once again. Eager little tots are start ing out for that great adventure of tha first day of school while high school seniors look forward to the long road that ends with graduation To the pupil in the lower grades it often looks Ike a long weary climb before the heights of knowledge are reached. We have all had these mo ments, especially along about ex amination time. Education is a slow and at times a painful process, but It rewards far exceed the difficulties encountered in securing it- There must be patience if one would grow intellectually- The painstaking plodder is far more like ly to succeed than the brilliant student who is unwilling to spend the time necessary to achieve success. Gaining an education is like erect ing a beautiful building. The founda tion must be broad and strong. Each day we must bring to our work en thusiasm, courage, strength. Little by little the edifice must be built until at last it stands a testimonial of our determination and effort. The youth of today have advan tages offered them never dreamed of by their forefathers. There is almost no limit to the possibilities for ad vancement afforded them. All that is needed is the determina tion to succeed coupled with the Prostate Sufferers of •torr'nlAi ***** IH Mfim Mbl tor ftra* trUt »*<*• W by 4 actor*.

So often years are wasted in an attempt to find the work for which one is suited. One should build their life around the work they choose to do and make of that work no matter, how simple it may be, something that is beautiful and inspiring. I know a man who has spent a lifetime perfecting a particular kind of flower. Perhaps he may never be wealthy or famous, but he has gain ed from his work, well done a satis faction known only to those who have achieved tlte goal for which <they have toiled. Boys and girls stake out your claim; do the necessary development work on it, stick doggedly to your determination to succeed and there will be no question but that your fondest dreams will be realized. Young people of America, standing on the threshhold of life I salute you. You are the men and women, the willing forces in the great army of endeavor as well as the leaders of tomorrow.

Thirteen workers, three of them wo men and including Chambers, Hougardy, Collentz, Plesh, Decker, Hung, Wislon, Ford Kirkwood Norman and Nor* Conklin and Jack Warnick face charges of criminal syndicalism. A special Criminal Syndicalism De fense office will open in Sacramento by the International Labor Defense,, it was announced. The orginal indictments on C. S. charges were obtained before grand jury had seen the complaints or listen ed to the evidence, it was revealed. On a demurrer filed by Leo Gallagher, I. L. D. attorney four of the six counts in each case were dismissed. District Attorney Neil McAllister, however, is busily engaged in announcing |hese counts. I. L. D. investigators have can vassed typical blocks of midde-ciass and working-cass population, to find out the sentiment of the people of Sa cramento in regard to the vagrancy and C. S. Cases. In a block of purely working-class homes, every worker expressed the con viction that the “whole thing is Just political bunk,” and th*t McCalister was just trying to get votes. Every one stated that although he was not a Communist, at east the Communists are honest. Some expressed their inten tion of voting the Communist ticket. In this country, John Funkner, Com munist candidate for Sheriff, got 2,000 votes. In a middle-class block, wlith one or two exceptions, the answers were uni-! form and ran to the effect that no one believed a revolution was ready at the' time of the general strike, that the Communists had a right to be on the ballot, that they did not know much about vagrancy trials but were opposed to the citys money being used fer such political purposes, that they did not know what criminal syndicalism was (with a few exceptions) but, when told that the trials would cost tsn of thou sands of dollars that this was running the whole thing into the ground. Most of those canvassed said they had no objection to the Communists having the use of the park. Most expressed the belief that the red scare was a pol itical issue being brought up on account of the elections, but few expressed the opinion that tha matter went deeper than that, a°d was an expression of fascism. -G A Hard One To Answer Tha editor of the Wilder, Idaho, Her aid says: "The point that is worrying ye editor la why eur government should want to enter into any more business ventures at the expense ef the taxpayers.

With four veterans, Stuelke must weave in out and around to mould a smooth clicking machine together In short order. Don Frame, returning to fill a halfback berth, is expected to “carry the mall’' for the Tee Jay. One of the best ball toters in town la&t sea son, he w«a overshadowed by Don Gur gler and Roger Petitt, two of the Bluffs aces lost by graduation. Jack Shan non, converted from tackle to fullback, also shows considerable promise as a ball lugger and blocker, while Dennie Hoden at center and Joy Vallery at end will be the mainstays of the Yellow team. Other Intercity squads after a week of more or less informal drilling started to get down to some serious training before opening games. South high Packers answered the> call for the first time Monday, starting off later than the others a*^ Cornie Collins and Jim Patterson, who will handle the Packers this season, expect b|g things this season. Other coaches w!H bring their charges along slowly although first scrimmages will un doubtledly be staged in the various camps over the week-end. -GO U. S. TRACKSTERS DEFEAT JAP N HIGH WIND TOKIO, Septl2,—Competing In wea ther resembling & typhoon, the touring United States track and field team nosed out Japan, 84 to 75. at the end of the^l ^turio-j^tay International meet here Sunday. High winds swept the track and gusts of rain drenched the crowd of 25,000 during the final events. Running with the wind at his back Ralph Metcalfe, Marquette's flyer, sprinted the 200 metres in the record smashing time of 20.0, but because he was aided by the wind will no*i receive recognition of his effort. Glenn Cuningham, University of Kan sas, holder of the record for the mile, captured the 1,500-meter run in the slow time of 4:08.0. finishing ahead of Tanaka and Aoji of Japan and Frank Crowley of Manhattan colege, whlo was fourth. The United States began Sunday's events only a single point ahead of the Japanese, competition Saturday ending with the touring stars leading 31 to 37.

(Ia). 1. Class A—Memphis Red Sox. 28 Chevro lets, 10. The two defending champions of the southwestern Iowa, baseball tourna ment "broke even” in the delayed finals at Council Bluffs Sunday afternoon, the Carter Lakes coming through to repeat, .but the Chevrolets failed by a wide mar gin, losing to the Memphis Red Sox by several classifications. The tournament moguls shifted the final schedule, playing the Class A game first and the Class B game laat the first time such an arrangement has ever had. From the spectator’s ponmt of view it was a wise move, since tho Chevrolets were completely outclassed by the Memphis boys, the final score being. 22 to 10. The closing contest was a spirited affair, and held most of the 4000 spectators despite the darken ing akies and frequent bits of ruin drops. Tho Lakes defeated Red Oak, by a 3 to 1 margin. WINS $1,000 POT The Memphis team collected fl.OOC for winning the Bluffs Class A cham pionship, and it was “soft' pickings. McKain' club got ..$500, plus an extra century for having played four game®. McKain declared he was unable to ob tain the players he desired, owing to Western league clubs playing double headers in the afterneon. The . .Memphis Bed Sox set up a new scoring record to beat the Chevroieta. j and if they hadn't slowed down in the last two innings, refused to run out their hits, it might have boon worse. Ehler started for the ex-champs, but was wild and ineffective, and was ac corded terrible support. McKain went in the box in the third, and the carnage ^ continued with uninterruption. Manager Curry of the Memphis team opened for his club in the first inning with a home run. Harry Schneider of the Bluffs club homered later, and so did “Suitcase" Mason, whose drive came with bases loaded. Bob McKoran’s Carter Lake Club took the $500 Class B money, while $350 went to Red Oak. TIKS TOURNEY MARK "Swede” Carlsen tied a tourney re cord hung up a 11 years ago When he pitched and won tlie Lakes fourth straight victory. Johnny Intlekofer, the loser, was also seeking a fourth consecutive victor. The game was snappy, and had many fielding features, chief among which were probably star runninjg catches by Eddie Henningsen, Kaderiet and Marcuzzo. Vachal pulled Carlsen out of a tough 8pot In the third when he snag ged Bill Lyman's low liner with the bases tilled and turned it into a double play. Red Oak scored Its solitary run In the opening inning, Monde Marcuzzo opening with a single to right, on which he continued to third as the ball got away from Kadereit. An infield exit seored him. In the second tfia Lakes scored what i proved to be the winning run, as Niemlc singled and Olangrasso doubled with none down. Camoro’s hot poke lined past the pitcher for a clean tingle, both men scoring. The third run c&me two innings later on four staight singles after two were down. 4 Six Omaha sandlotters played on the Red Oak nine.
