Sport Graphs Billy Hulen says: Trojan Win Over Ramblers Boosts Coast Grid Stock What, we wonder, are a lot of the "wise" boys of the nation saying now about the brnnd of football played In the Pacific Const conference? It must have been a terrific ahock to that legion of grid "eg Ruperts," most of them Journal ists who have .'

And. by a more dcclslvo margin of victory than the Trojans were nblo to produce agnlnst Just average -strength clubs In their own conference. When Stanford's Indians, doormat of tho const loop all season, reared back and let Dartmouth have It a q tin re between the horns a couple of weeks ago, there were undoubtedly many red faces throughout the coun try rant of the Rocky mountains. For, Dartmouth was rated second only to Cornell In the Ivy league of the east, and was figured to have a soft touch with a Stanford outfit which hod won only two conference games In a circuit considered far weaker than other grid groupings. But, If .that Stanford victory over an eastern "pet" wns startling, Southern Cal'a 13 to 0 conquest of the fighting Irish must have been positively devastating to the high-powered plrksters. They were already calling Elmer Layden'a 1038 creation the mightiest Notre Dame club since Knute Rock no's time, and It did look so until the Trojans went to work. The Irish had blasted through right straight opponents with nary a net back and mlddlewestern writers and prognostlcntors made It clear that they gave U5.C, beaten by Alabama in the season's opener and- Washington In an upset, little chance to halt the South Benders. But, tw Trojans did It. and not luckily but by virtue of avngo line play and ability to come through In the pinches.

OLDER IN GIVEN JAP SENTRY JOBS HANGCHOW, China flV-The lone liest men In China today are Jap-, anese sentries defending railway lines and bridges against the swift, deadly attacks of guerillas. These men left families In Jap anese cities and fishing villages or on farms to take up their lonely, dangerous vigils. Their only com panions are other sentries In email garrisons. Their visitors are Chinese raldere whose calling card la a bursting gre nade or a rifle shot In the darkness. If surprised, tho sentry's body will be found next day, the garrison looted. Japan assigned her third class re serves to this railway patrol duty family men of 35 to 40 years. The theory Is. Japanese officers explain: "If a soldier must die It Is better to sacrifices an older man who has already reared his family than a youngster who must fulfill his par ental duty of producing sons to terve his emperor." Outside Chinese cities these long, tenuous lines of rail guards consti tute a major portion of JoDanese occupation, which now extends over one-third of China. Trains run by daylight only. The raiders strike at night. Brick and sandbag dugouts, trenches and barbed wire network guard the approaches to stations. One or two soldiers man the smaller defenses protecting bridges. There Is one passenger train each ws,y dally between Shanghai and this beautiful, old lakeside city where Chinese honeymooners have come for centuries. The Japanese army tuns the railway and collects fores from Chinese passengers who Jam the third class carriages, imported from Japan. The countryside seems peaceful. From the train can be seen old wom en and boys harveirttng ripe rice and buffalo circling the tread-mlllf to pump water Into fields. But somewhere In this quiet, rural ncene, the Japanese say there are 8.000 guerillas hiding waiting to strike down In the dark these lonely men of China. Froh Kat I nf More OBERLIN. O.

HELD PLACE DF CIVILIZATION This Country Suggested As Storehouse in Event of General War Shipping Here Already Under Way (AP Feature Service) NEW YORK There has been a lot of loose talk about civilization "breaking down" in the event of another war. But seriously, have you ever thought about what would happen If war did break out again or civili zation DID break down? ome people have. And the trend of their specula tions is that America might render Its greatest service yet to the world by serving as a storehouse for the art, the culture and the science of a world gone mad. One of these thinkers is Dr. Leslie O. Dunn, professor of zoology at Co lumbia university. Writing in "The Independent Journal," a publication of Columbia's graduate school of Journalism, he noted that a consign ment of unusual rats valuable In scientific work was sent him recently by a colleague in England. The col league wrote: "Our laboratory Is situated near the big railroad termini which will be among the first targets for raid ing airplanes and we would like to be sure that some of the most im portant of our scientific materials are out of harm's way. "Perhaps we ought to consider the establishment of a permanent re pository for the stocks of animals on which we depend for advancing our knowledge of heredity. If so It would almost certainly have to be set up In tine United States." II. S. May lie Haven A year ago. Aald Dr. Dunn, a con signment of mice was received from England under similar circumstances. "These are rather dramatic re minders," he commented, "of the tenuous nature of our boasted con tinuity of scientific progress." Scientists have carried cooperation to great lengths In maintaining spec ial stocks of animals, plants (Indian corn for Instance) and Insects (In cluding the vinegar fly) for study. "Perhaps it will be necessary," Dr. Dunn added, "to establish a central haven for the threatened stocks of scientifically useful animals and plants from all nations. Perhaps it should be as far as possible from a seaconst ond remote from the danger of air attacks. Perhaps it nhould be near that hole in the ground In Kentucky where we keep our spare gold." Speoking of gold, mewt people know that quantities of tho precious metal are sent hero on the occasion of each fresh scare In Europe. But it isn t gold alone among the caith's treasures that have been sent to these shores. Art Rein Shipped Recently Albert K. Schneider, a New York art dealer, returned to America with a collection of Ifith century portraits and landscapes and , made this comment j "It Is Indicative of the general un easiness In Europe that I was able j to obtain them all. The families had j held on to them for generations,! and most of them had never been exhibited before. But now they feel that the portraits of their ancestors will be safer on the American side of the water. CHRISTMAS SPECIAL What Would be a Nicer Gift?
