A reward of $540,000 has been
offered for the apprehension of
the bomb plotter against the life
of Hcrr Hitler, who deported
rum the Munich shrine of Nazi-
ism, in time to escape burial be
neath nine feet of dehris. Mys
tery angles cause suspicions Dcr
1,'untzfuehrer had previous
knowledge of the blast. The re
ward Is the larsest in European
history. It is still not big enough
to induce Herr Hitler to catch
himself and claim it.
The Governor of Washington
announces he will smoke no
more cigarettes, because people
in his commonwealth spend more
money for them, than they do
butter. This voluntary renuncia
tion of Lady Nicotine is listed
an aid to the dairy Industry, and
mayhap the opening gun of the
1940 campaign. Incidentally
there are no tobacco farmers in
the state, to be roiled by the
relict. Editorial comment admires
the heroic reform move of the
chief executive, but confess in-
ability to follow its logic. It the
Idea spreads candidates for the
legislature will soon be throwing
away their pipes, because the
farmers buy more oleomar
garine than cigars.

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

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-

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

American liberals were made to feel
that a blood purge was a smar.

In some instances the "real of

mean something and be worth

it is not only superfluous but an
unjustifiable expense which the

Now their bitterness Is compounded
by their disillusion. 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.

Its beginning. Is decidedly mysterious

Saturday Evening Post, Is authority

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

things. He became ambassador when

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.

Romance
By Grace Haynes
Romance comes as our years go
She atones for many losses
Sits with us by fireside glow
Helps us bear our crosses.
Pewter set with tray so old
Most the dishes have a story
Table cloths and butter mold
Speak to me of olden glory.
Here is mother's rolling pin
Smoothly carved though grim
the wit
Fashioned from a poplar limb
Her big brother made it.
In the garden beans are growing
Seed was carried 'cross the
plains
Don't forget to save for sowing
Morsels good enough for kings
These potatoes have a history
Seed I planted when a child
How they grew is such a mys
tery Kept with such eareftilness
God must have smiled.
Gracious, grand old 'hollyhockJ
Lovely dolls with silken
dresses
See again the fragrant stocks
Woven in among our tresses.
After absence sweet the homing
After illness life is dear
Memory keep these moments
charming
Be a well of virtue, clear.
Strange how many little things
Make up all life's warp and
woof
Like the raindrops fairy wings
Make music on the roof.
Hear again the harmony
With the wind a sweet refrain
Reminiscence Is the melody
Played by fingers of the rain.
South Wind
By Grace Haynes
South wind is a lover with
stealthy tread
How soft his caress as he tousles
my head
He kisses me as he kisses the
rose
Caressing the grasses away hi
goes
Kissing, kissing, kissing.
Each shrub and tree in his glad
embrace
Oayly dancing In statelv grace
Their lovely arms around him
twine
I hear him singing through the
pine
Laughing. laughing, laughing.
Into the sick room, his blessings
wealth
Aids the tired heart in Its strug
gle for health
Sadness takes flight at his ad
dress He tarries a broken heart to
bless
Blessing, blessing, blessing.
