Ore go(n jMtwOTAPM A Great Game r 1 WARD the end of the football season, there is always some wise, old sour-puss to arise and proclaim that the days of college football are numbered. The reasons invariably come under the heading of the "game ain't what she used to be"; too much this, or too much that, with commercialism usually the clinching factor. Well as far as that goes, the "game AIN'T what she used to be' in those bygone days, when the tallyho were in their heydey. IT is t dang today far MORE interesting and exciting. Also far LESS gerous. In fact the football game, as colleges play it today, Is in the opinion of this department, the best out-door sport that was ever invented, or is likely to be. And have its ups and downs, we don't the Washington monument has sports are being conducted high up in the stratosphere. YES, as long as there can be college football games, like the "big game" at Eugene Saturday, with the result in doubt until the final gun, not an empty seat in the entire stadium; the sun shining from a cloudless many thrills and so equally divided, that the winning side got only half a dozen more than the loser, no one need worry about the longlife and popularity of intercollegiate football. It will last as long as youth, vigor and love of competitive sports last. Which, we hope, will be quite some time! Keeps You Guessing A ND then, In football there is the never-ending factor of uncer- tainty, a factor more constant and active In this sport than any other. One NEVER knows how a game Is coming out, one can't know. It is quite different In baseball, or track or rowing, when nine times out of ten, the net RESULT is a certainty before the contest starts. There are upsets of course in any sport, but nothing to compare with the way the dope-bucket is kicked around, week in 'eek out, during the football season. And this factor is a constant stimulant of public interest. TAKE the results on Saturday for example: Who would have guessed the University of Iowa would topple over Notre Dame? No one. Iowa was merely a "breather" for the Fort Wayne champs. And yet when the final whistle blew the score was Iowa 7, Notre Dame 8. And there "as no fluke about It. The Buckeyes won on their merits. Even more surprising, though of less general interest, was the victory of Princeton over Dartmouth. Dartmouth supposedly had one of the strongest teams in the East. She had simply slaughtered, both Harvard and Yale, lost to no one, while Prince ton had been massacred by Cornell, and only able to nose out Harvard, the week before by two or three points. Yet the Tigers turned on the boys from Hanover and made them take the short end of the score and like it. Not an expert in the country in his wildest moments would have even suggested either result. fET there they are, and before the season Is over there will undoubtedly be more of them. And as long as this uncertainty, this everlasting surprise element persists, old "sourpuss" of the pigskin sport. He may have lost his speed, but HASN'T! More "Quarterbacking" PVERYONE who saw the big game Saturday is "quarter backing" the contest, so why shouldn't we once more impinge upon the sacred precincts of the sports department? Oregon was the favorite. O. S. C. won. More than that no Impartial State deserved the victory, the on top. How come? Only the Saturday before O. classed by Southern California, W. S. C. to the tune of 38 to 0. had beaten Oregon State 19 to 7, to a 7-7 tie. Finally O. S. C. had only a 'Cek to recover from that terrific U. S. C. battering during which any real workouts were im possible; while Oregon was In tip top shape physically after the W. S. C. triumph, and presumably tuned to the pink, for that revenge of which all Eugene was so confident. What's the answer? IN this department's opinion, just one thing. MENTAL CON- DITI.ON1 Yes, the experts were all wrong when they pointed to that shellacking by the Trojans, as something that did the boys from Corvallis no good. It did the boys from Corvallis GREAT good. In the first place it put them in the enviable psychological position of the under dog. In the second place, it steamed them up to the maximum fighting pitch, to do or die for dear Old Siwashl Smile if you will, but that' the spirit that wins football games, and to this department at least tt was evident in everything the O. S. C. team did, In Eugene on Saturday last. They were in there psychologically to WIN, or ELSE IN short that drubbing by Southern Cal did the same thing to Oregon State, that the bitter upset defeat by U. C. L. A. did to Oregon, a couple of weeks before. Washington Stale had to suffer for that U. C. L. A. trimming, and Oregon had to suffer for what happened in Portland on No vember 4th. At least that's the explanation as we see it. That and the fact that odds in favor of Oregon were at no time warranted, and the game was from the first, a toss-up, with the team winning that got and didn't give. the breaks. And the "Aggies ' wen in that mental nmdition. last Saturday afternoon, to gel theirs while the getting was good, and give NOTHINGI flying wedge, guards-back and the while, like other sports, it may expect it to be abandoned until. crumbled into dust and all outdoor sky, the bands playing, and so need not worry over the demise the grand old game of football j person would deny that Oregon I better team that day came out j j S.

ANYWAY VITAMIN B PROMOTES NORMAL UTILIZATION OF STARCH AND SUGAR A physician distinguished for his work in the field of diabetes remarks in a personal communi cation that he has not found that vitamin B reduces the dose of in sulln required to keep the di abetes patient sugar-free, but his observation has been limit ed to casual trials of the vitamin B treatment in a few cases. Yet this physician ad vises his patients to take dally certain tablets containing vita min B-complcx. Just why, he does not make clear; presumably Decause he believes the neces sary dietary restrictions required lor successful treatment of dia betes lower the daily intake of vitamin B below the level neces sary to maintain health and vigor. I suspect this good doctor is laboring under a misapprehen sion which is too common among physicians in this country namely, that the dictum of the A.M. A. about any new medical problem is so because it bears the official stamp. So many. many times the A.M.A. dictum. although vehemently set forth in hot blood, has proved in due time to have been wrong and so many, many times the master minds running the A.M.A. have hedged and reversed the hasty false verdict without any formal acknowledgment of the error that only a nice easy-going doc tor with a not too critical mind can take the A.M.A dicta at face value. The reason why I suspect the good doctor is a bit bamboozled is that the good doctor informs me that a certain brand of mcdi cine (a vitamin B-complex con centrate) which enjoys approval of the A.M.A. is in his opinion the best for diabetes patients because it is of high vitamin B potency and it is economical for the patient to buy. That impres sion has evidently been drum med into the good doctor's head by the constant reiteration of the potency of the medicine in the official organ of the A.M.A On actual analysis, however, it appears that when compared with another brand of vitamin B-complex concentrate which does not enjoy "approval" of the A.M.A., the medicine preferred by the good doctor costs his pa tient, unit for unit, nearly twice as much; and as to vitamin po tency, that Is a matter of biolog ical assay in any case it makes no whit of difference whose brand it may be, if it is biologi- The Capital Parade By Joseph Alsop and Robert Kintner Released by The North American Newspaper Alliance. Inc. Washington, Nov. 13. Con stantine A. Oumansky, ambassa dor to the United States from Stalin's Russia, has not had a happy homecoming. At the dock he was asked whether he had been a member of the O G.P.U., and testily explained that it was "beneath his dignity" to answer. Arriving in his drafty but im posing Washington embassy, he has probably already discovered that his welcome will not be so warm as of yore. Ambassador Oumansky It a small sleek, natty man with an amaalngly Insinuating manner and such a dis play of gold teeth that hla ready smile seems a!mo t ostentatious. In the old days, no one excelled him In the peculiar communist trick of Intellectual acrobattca: by which realism and Idealism were exquisite ly blended, snd the met ardent American liberals were made to feel that a blood purge was a smar. thliv between friends. In the old dave. Ambassador Oumansky was decidedly popular among extreme new deal lert-wtnger. and their nu merous friends and ramp. followers. Since the Russo-Oerman pact, however. Ambassador Oumsn.ky la going to have to find his friends and companions chiefly on the Ger man embassy staff, a group with which his contact waa formerly lim ited. The left-wing new dealer, like liberals iM over the world, clung to thrlr tallh In th. Soviet Union until tha last breathless moment. IIP Brady, M.D. cally standardized at so many units per gram or dose. In some instances the "real of acceptance" of the A.M.A. may mean something and be worth what it costs what it costs the purchaser of the medicine or other product. In other in stances, as in the one described, it is not only superfluous but an unjustifiable expense which the luckless consumer has to pay. Today, perhaps many laymen and many doctors, too, may not know, when a medicine or food purports to contain a given amount of this or that vitamin ; you may rest assured the amount i of vitamin is really there, no' matter who the maker or vendor j of the product may be for the J U. S. government keep close , watch on these things and ! promptly cracks down on any one who tries to deceive the public in that way.

It Is not only a matter of a few high officials stay ing away from embassy receptions, which, being rather conservative, they always wanted an excuse to avoid. It la a genera feeling, among 90 percent of Ambassador Ouman sky'a real cronies, that they have been sold down a very nasty river. The Oumansky c reer, at least In Its beginning. Is decidedly mysterious General Krlvltaky, writing In the Saturday Evening Post, Is authority for the statement that Oumansky la a former member of the O.Q.P.U. However he atarted, he somewhere acquired an unusual facility tn lan guages. This facility, plus the In sinuating manner, earned him suc cessive posts with Tass, the Soviet foreign news agency: pa press censor at the Soviet foreign office, where he was cordially detested by every Moscow correspondent: and as coun cillor of the Soviet embassy here. His moat remarkable talent seems to be surviving hla patrons and bosses. Their downfall only appear lo open to him the way for higher things. He became ambassador when his predecessor. Alexander Troyan ovsky. waa subjected to one of the milder forms of purge. He was the personal protege of Maxim Lltvlnoff. yet Lltvlnoff's dis missal from the poet of foreign com missar does no-, seem to have af fected his standing Possibly he was saved from the usual fate of friends of the fallen by the Influence of U M. Kaganovlch. another Soviet blttwlg, who I. supposed to have pat rontred him. In any event, he knows the peculiar arta of rlalng In the service of a dictatorship. With his saponaceous manner, his quick mind and hla fluent com mand of phrase, he mU:ht, tinder certain circumstances, be called an agreeable man. Certainly he Is an interesting one. If only aa a atrlk Ingly perfect specimen of a success ful public servant in one of the great modem tyrannies. On. of the oddest points of re semblance between the two tyran nies la the presence. In most Ger man and Russian embassies, of a special party man whose task It 's to keep an eye on the chief of mis sion. Even now Oumanskv has a councillor. Chuvakhln. host at the recent celebrated embassy reception, who speaks very tt? but Russian and a few central Asiaji dialects, and aeems to have no risibl duties be- yond watchtaf tha management at embassy affairs. : TrayanOTSky was a professional diplomat without Bolshevik back ground, and It waa an open secret that he did not get on well with Litvlnoff. In tha Lltvlnoff era, tha Inference aa to Oumansky'a relation ship to Troyanovsky was all but In escapable, and was commonly drawn by Informed persons here. Now that so much muddy and bloody water has gone over the dam, It Is amusing to contrast tha posi tions of Oumanaky and Dr. Herbert Schols. who used to be the party rj.an In the Oerman embassy. Scholz. now living on n astonishingly lav ish seal as German consul general In Boston. ! a large, loud-talking fellow with . erass, hearty manner, who used to make a sneclslty of selling nazlsm to conservatives aa a safeguard against Bolshevism. Oumaiuky's old spec'alty was sell Ing bolshevlsm to liberals aa a safe guard against nazllsTt. They never spoke In the old days, but now they ought to get together and condole over the ruin of their sales talk. At the National Capitol With John W. Kelly (Continued from pae One.) qua, N. Y. August 14, 1936. In an address praising the neutral ity act of 1936 (including the mandatory embargo), he said: "Nevertheless, if war' should break out again in another con tinent, let us not blink the fact that we should find in this coun try thousands of Americans seeking Immediate riches fool's gold, blood money would at tempt to break down or attempt to evade our neutrality." First to attempt evasion was United States Lines. First to an nounce that the subterfuge was legal was Commissioner Truitt, "Economic royalists" who avail ed themselves of legal methods of reducing 'their income tax were denounced by the new dealers; held up to public scorn. MARITIME commission has not en couraged shipping out of Colum bia river, although when Joe Ken nedy was chairman such assurances were made. When the red-headed friend of Mr. Roosevelt waa trans ferred to the diplomatic post of am bassador to England, the Columbia basin loat Its one friend. No en couragement waa given by the com mission when businessmen wished to build a shipyard and construct two or three freight carriers for the commission. Rather, the commission discouraged reviving the shipbuild ing Industry on the Columbia. When no one was certain the Eu ropean war would- break, Charles E Dant of Portland, requested permla slon of the commission to transfer several of his freighters (tied up In the Willamette) to the Panama flag. Commissioners refused, reminding him that all American merchant ves sels are auxiliary to the navy. (A policy waived when United Statea Lines made a similar request). Tlie commission has Insisted on such requirements that no Individual or group in the Portland area could comply when negotiating to establish steamer lines out of the Columbia.

In The Day's . News A ' By Frank Jenkins Uf ATCH Holland. Another " blitzkrieg may bp in the making there. The Dutch, at least, fear that such may be the ease. ' IF you want to know why, take a look at the map. Holland, bordering on the North sea, lies directly between Germany and England. It would provide a close and efficient taking off place for German air attacks on England. There have been concentrations of German troops along the Dutch border. Putting two and two together, the Dutch reason that they may be in for trouble. THUSDAY night there were "border incidents." Border incidents are apt to be the pre lude to trouble. Holland's first line of defense against German attack Is flood ing of the low country lying between. Preparations have been made to do that, many villages having been already evacuated. If there is an attack against Holland, it will be sudden and fierce, in the hope of driving through to the North sea before the flooding that has saved Hol land before in history can be made effective again. THE Hitler bombing incident Is officially laid to for eigners. The reason why is plain. The nazis don't want it to appear that there is any division of feeling at home. That would en courage their enemies. The explanation looks a little cockeyed. Much preparation was required for the placing and the timing of the bomb in the Mu nich beer hall. How could for eigners have managed it WITH OUT GERMAN CO-OPERATION? A CALIFORNIA man proposes to the Democrats that they hold their 1940 convention in the Rose Bowl at Pasadena, which would be donated, and in addition they would get a million dollars to be raised by an admission charge of $1.50 to the public. So far, it is reported by the dispatches, the Demo crats think it smacks too much of a promotion scheme! and are inclined to turn it down. THIS writer thinks it would be a good scheme. The show will be well worth the $1.50 ad mission charge, and besides that might be a better way to raise campaign money than by dona tions, most of which have a string attached. Maybe something new in the way of political financing Is in the offing.
