BLAMES nii-BMPIIASIZINO
NEW YORK, Dec. 8 iff) Some por
tion Of the responsibility for tho 40
deaths from football 'this year must
bo ascribed to tho process of dc

erican Football Coaches association.
- "Elimination or spring practice In
sorno schools, late starting In others.

the accidents this fall," ho said.

There can be no such thing ns too
much cwo, too much attention, too
muoh emphasis In preparing boys for
it."

Secretary Wilbur Against Placing
More Power in Federal Government
WASHINGTON, Dec 8 (fl Secre-, "Prejudice, bad advice, or lack of
tary Wilbur, on whose opinion the 'brains, may temporarily flood any
president places a lot of reliance, de-
cnea to ins ieiiow-uaurornian Mon -
day tho centralization of powers In
mo icurui government; .Wo have.8et a definite goal for
Unfolding the annual report by the ' tho Indian service that It shall work
cccrotary of the Interior, Mr. Hoover j itself out of a job In 25 years. We
could read there a treatise on "tho hopo to accomplish in the next quar
neccusity for removal of responsibility ! ter century the breaking flown of
for local problems from Washington the cement which has been setting
to communities In which they exist." , lor four times that period. - . .
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. '
"In tho conservation of oil and
gas thero Is Just beginning to be a
realization that ten oil producing
states are trustees for the nation and
must themselves act.
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.
Provldonco that our educational
troubles are solved at home and not
"c waamngcon.
im
s. ... .
j educational enterprise; but a ship
fwith 48 compartments Is hard to
; sink.
. "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. Dr. Wilbur said he looked
forward 'with somo hope" to a per
manent working arrangement sanc
tioned by congress which would in
include tho following elements:
An adequate conservation agency
in each state enforcing within Its

' " 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

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

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."
