Many sportscribers consider that contest the great est of 11 Rose Bowl games. The classic of the classics. Literary Note Are you writing a novel? Have you decided on the title? Don't be too hasty as to that angle. Keep trjing for a better title if the first doesn't look so good. Margaret Mitchell first titled her celebrated best seller. "Tomor row Is Another Day" and then changed it to "Gone With The Wind." Thackery titled a novel "Pencil Sketches of English So ciety" and then changed it to "Vanity Fair." Philip Gibbs called a book "What The Censor Fo iade" and then changed it to "Now It Can Be Told." Whistler tryed an extremely clever piece of work "The Cor respondence of James McNeil Whistler" and changed it to "The Gentle Art of Making Enemies." Please Note It has long been maintained by many medical men that an uncontrollable desire to consume hard liquor in the morning indi cates the drinker is on the way to a drunkard's grave. There also has been a poetic warning with regard to this situation which goes as follows: Drink in the morning Doctors say take warning And claim your inevitable fate That of an incurable inebriate Smokers A pipe smoker challenges me to name a great poet who was a cigar smoker. That's easy. Ten nyson was a cigar smoker. He lived to be 92 and smoked cigars regularly right up to the end. Now I challenge the afore mentioned pipe smoker to name a pipe smoker who was a greater poet than Tennyson. Incident ally, both Kipling and Byron were cigar smokers. Thunderstreaks Set Records Across Nation Albany, Ga., (U.R) Two F84F Thunderstreak jet fighters criss crossed the nation covering 4350 miles in eight hours and 31 minutes without trying to set any record.

A Nichol's Worth of . . . Comment On This and That By HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Ptm Future Wtim Washington (U.R) The scene: .A joint congressional hearing on Capitol Hill.' y . The pnnci- i; pais ax i ii e start, anyway: Sen . William Kerr Scott, Democrat from North Carolina, and the Repub'- 1 1 c a n repre sentative from Harmon Nichok Allegan, Mich., Clare No Pockets;" Hoff man. It seems that Hoffman, who is billed as the best fisherman in congress, was. yelling loud and long on the issue at hand every thing to do about lumber. As a Michigander, Hoffman knows considerable about the subject. Scott begged the chairman of the joint group for permission to have a word. He not only had a word but several. While he was about it, he pre sented the gentleman from the Wolverine state with a plug of "peach and honey" chewing to bacco, produced as he pointed out by Taylor Brothers down there in N.C. Hoffman stuffed it in the breast pocket of his coat the only pocket he'll permit his tailors to put in his clothes. The senator doesn't run around passing out plugs of this wonder ful stuff just for laughs. He hap pens to be the only full-time to bacco chawer in the congress. Weaned en Stuff The senator was weaned, he says, on the stuff back on the farm in Haw River, N.C. That's also where he got a likin' to walkin'. Here in Washington, he does a lot of walking. He lives five miles from his office work bench and it takes him two hours to make it, "counting traffic lights and time out for spittin'." You can't walk into his office without walking away with a souvenir plug of the "peach and honey," whether you like the stuff or not. You also have to walk around a number of spit toons. Scott tells his visitors, home grown voters and others alike, that chewing tones up the sys tem and prepares one "for the hard times ahead." On those early morning walks he's .almost 60 so he enjoys the luxury of a cab home at night. He has a system: he takes a single chaw if he is right with the world and thinks his horo scope says he should face the challenge of a bright new day standing up. ; Spits to Windward If he is carrying weight on his shoulders and wearing a worried look, he takes two chaws. And he spits over the sidewalks twice as hard, to windward if possible, thereby missing those in the passing mob. "Walkin' and chawin' and spit tin' helps me take off weight," the senator said. "When I came to Washington I weighed 200 pounds." The gentleman from North Carolina now rocks the scales at a trim 170 and his friends say that he looks younger than ever. His hair is still coal black in most areas, although the test of time has added a few streaks of gray, which are becoming, in deed. The girls in his . office gave- him a big surprise at Christmas. They bought him one of those yearly package deals from a lo cal florist. So each day he now sports a plug in his jaw and a red rose bud in his coat lapel.

' Hollywood figures Krim must be a very patient man to hang around for two years and the ac tress agreed. "He's very under standing," she said.

"If these last two pictures had been bad I might have headed home," she admitted. "But, after all, I've got more right to errors because of being so new at this.
