Mr. Wilbur looked skeptically upon talk of a department of education. Ho praised the policies for local auto nomy advocated last month by the national advisory commlttco on edu cation, and then said: "The recommendation that they bo furthered by creation of a fed eral department of educe t Ion de- serves further study. My experience with federal bureaus and depart ments dees not encourage the belief that, once created, decentralization becomes their goal." Tho cabinet member, now on leave an president of Leland Stanford uni versity, combined the approach of tho scholar with the punch of the paragrapher In his' report. Somo pithy excerpts follow: "Many of today's problems of gov ernment belong many hundred miles closer to tho people than Is tho city of Washington. 1 "In eleven of our states a great part of all the land Is owned by a landlord from two to tlirce thousand miles away who has done nothing to protect hlo neighbors from the floods, n-nclnn. nnrl rtthnr rnnenniniinno nr allowing overgrazing on his own i lands. ' "In every state there Is a locally conceived and locally administered school system which has come more and more under the Influence of the federal dollar.

Considers Indian Dependents "In twenty of our states are scat tered 300,000 citizens who are set apart from their white neighbors in their relationship to the state, and whose property Is largely administered from Washington because they have not been taught to own It. "If we needed any reminder of the benefits of the traditional American system (In education) wo can look to the federal experiment in the con 1 -f vl nf Tnrltnn Arlnnarlnn n11rl 1i.-it.

"In Indian affairs for a hundred years tho wheels of federal admin istration have worn a deeper and deeper rut of dependence. - - "There are. no good reasons for maintaining separate schools : and health programs for Indian boys and giris when tho state already provides them. "Wo have no desire to capture any more Indians." '. - . Commenting on the report of the public domain commission, Wilbur said that control of grazing is vita It ly necessary to preserve tho carrying capacity of tho range and . prevent Hoods. ' ' ' :" "Congress," he said,' directing his attack in another direction,' "has never authorized either the land of fice 'or the states to protect these lands. ' 1 "Now, before It is too late the choice must be made between the agencies that are to do tho Job. The western states are grown to maturity and are alive to the problem. But ti congress is unwilling to let them eolve it, it should let the national government do It. Both are helpless now The secretary voiced his belief in tho reclamation service, recently un der attack. "Reclamation of public lands to date," he said, "has added only about three-fourths of one per cent to our national crop area, but has added $1,761,920,000 to the purchasing pow er of tho west." ' Favors Two More Parks Tho bright spot in the use of pub lic lands, Dr. Wilbur said, was the establishment of the national parks. This task, however, he does not con sider finished and urges that the Grand Teton-and Great Smoky Moun tain areas be completed as soon as possible. 1 . In the field of oil and gas con servation.

This Game ! : of Goif , i Q 'I1'" ' - ' - - 0 3Jtfc88&S8StJ8sS ' " By O. It. Keeler Readers of this column may re call a reminiscent sketch a few weeks ago in which tho famous battle be tween Chick Evans and Charley Mac farlane -in.tho British amateur at Sandwich was outlined. , Tho outline was not quite exact, it appears, for here is a letter from, the Wee Scot himself, dated at the editorial rooms of The Evening Newc, Carmelite House, London, ln which Prince Charlie sets me right on two little matters. ' "Prank . King," writes Charlie re ferring to' an eminent Associated Press staff man in London, "showed mo the story of Sandwich in 1014, in which you said I went out in 32 and had Chick Evans 6 down. "Actually, It was 31; and, as you say, I did hove a 6 on the fourth hole, but that was because Chick was playing it very badly and I took I It safely, only to see him hole a long ! downhill putt for a half in 6." And another thing. "The French amateur champion ship did not see me that year," Char- llo continues, "so Chick did not beat me at La Boulle. I played late in I July of 1914 to open the golf course i at Shirley Park, with Major Hezlet. j James Braid and Sandy Herd. Then ' I did not strike another golf ball for four years. . . . There was a war on, you see. and I was a soldier. Not a very good one, but well, there it was." I have it from other and equally authentic sources, however, that Charllo was a good soldier. He Is now a good golf writer, for The Lon don Evening News. CHICK UMUSTIIKBKI) Incidentally, the next tlmo Char lie saw Chick Evans, after the pyro technics at Sandwich, when Chick went out in par 3G and was 6 down to Macfarlane's 31, was at Hoylake In tho British amateur champion ship of 1931. The war had come and gone. The Wee Scot was back at golf and golf writing again. The Americans had como over in considerable force a roUnd dozen crack amateurs, led by tho redoubtable Chick, United States champion, were out to lift the British cup. "I saw Chick." writes Macfarlane, "at the 17th green, right opposite WRESTLING Tuesday Night, Dec. 8 EAGLES HALL Count Harkovosky - 225 vs. , Jack Root -215 GOOD PRELIMINARIES Admission Tuesday, December 8, 1931 John Ball's hotel, on a clear, bright windy day, ln June. ; , You know, I had wondered somewhat how Chick Iclt In .. yeara about that quite astonishing 'V and I may say unwarrantable beat lng I gave him at Sandwich, when, it looked much as if he might via the championship. "I really should not have been surprised or greatly put out by a blt of coolness ln our next meeting. But Chick ten't that way. Smiling hla happiest, ho greeted me as an old friend; wo havo been friends a long time, now J7 years', at the least." 1 Wnnut ' Ily Atari J. Gould (Associated Press Sports Editor) Up around Minneapolis, they figure Minnesota "softened" Northwestern for the defeat handed the Wildcats by Purduo. Moreover, Southern California put the skids under Notre Dame that were well-greased in the Army game and. In the south, Georgia was tumbled by Tulane after a bruis ing battle with New York university. Some teams may "soften" more readily than others or they may be more difficult 'subjects 'for either 'physical or emotional recovery. iNeverthcless it becomes increas ingly hard for any major eleven to go through such schedules as Georgia, Northwestern and Notre Damo attempted without one on two defeats. The pressure becomes Increas ingly heavy as an' unbeaten' team travels on. Southern California lost its first game to St. Mary's thereby relieving the tension and tho Trojans mopped up from then on. Thero is too mxich tendency to Invest unbeaten teams with a halo and this was especially true ln re gard to Notre Dame after a win ning streak that stretched over three years. Tho records and tho dope are ignored, as well as the factors of player- psychology. Before the' game with Notre Dame tho Army players were ac quainted with the stories from the mid-west, not inspired ' by South Bend, that the Irish ' planned to mako the Cadets "pay' tor the game lost so1 unexpectedly in the last ' period to ' Southern : California! It was like feeding the army team raw meat. They went out on the gridiron as if demanding: "Where aro they?" The fury' of personal reaction was all ln favor of tho Cadets. ' MIRSOL'KI END STARS Captain Cronkite of Kansas State caught the eye of critics with his all around skill this season, playing end, but his feats may be excelled ln the next year or two by a youngster named Charles Schiele of the Uni versity of Missouri. "Cronkite." writes Fred Ware of tho Omaha World-Herald, "prob ably Is as good an end as any this year, unless .it is a sophomore wonder named Schiele at Missouri, who Isn't even well known to some writers in this territory. Gwlnn Henry will tell you Schiele is the best end he has had in nine years at ; Missouri and he has had some good ones." ... From ColumSbla, Lawrence Mhy adds: "Schiele, 20-year-old East 'St. Louis (111.) - boy, cannot , compare with Catfish Smith (a personal friend of Schiclc's) nor Jerry Dalrym ple of Tulane but, in his first year, is the best end Missouri has had since Carl Bacchus in 1926. "Schiele's play has been consist ently brilliant all season. He was the only one on the team to function against Texas, ran 90 yards for a touchdown against Drake, went over the line for a touchdown- against Colorado, caught eight consecutive passes against Nebraska and a half dozen agajnst Oklahoma, and not once ir. Missouri's eight games did a single opposing back get around him." Genuine Flexible Flier Sleds All Sizes $3.75 to $6.50 . Hi Speed Shoe Skates $5.50 per pair Strand Skis $2.25 to $7.50 W.H.
