Many times the under dog* has risen and toppled the favored from their lofty pinnacle. Will history repeat itself and Edinboro come out victoribus? Slippery Rock, in their first five games, have scored 31 points as com­ pared to the opposition’s 53. This would seem to show the Rocks aS a weak defensive team, but 34 points were scored by Grove City.' Edinboro, in the three contests they played, before this paper went, to press, have scored 13 points, with the opposition rolling up 60. These figures tend to give the Green and White an advantage. ' However, as I’ve stated before, Edinboro, in the role of the under dog, is in a much better position than the lofty position held by Slippery Rock. comparison of the two teams gives the Thompson men a weight advant­ age. ■ The line of the invaders from end to end totals 1192 pounds. This is a good sized forward wall and aver­ ages 170 pounds per man. No one man is over 185 pounds, with the lightest weighing 160. Edinboro’s line totals 1141 pounds, which averages 163. This would give the green and White a sevenpound advantage in the line. The Harrison back field will aver­ age 152 pounds, with the backs color the November 21, when the “E’’.

The downstaters winning 6-0 last Saturday and were the first eleven from that institution to score over the Red and White. Edinboro kicked off to Clarion and the ball was run back td the forty yard line. In seven plays the ball was put across the goal line for what was the only touchdown of the game. Stunned by this outburst on the part of Clarion, the Edinboro lads fought tooth and nail to also score but their efforts went for naught. Not once did Edinboro penetrate the twenty yard mark. Plajling a slow game the local boys time after time, messed up their own plays. The interference brushed op­ position instead of clipping it. They blocked like a grammar school eleven and tackled in the same fashion. However, there was one Edinboro man who played real-footbait»^. dn my estimation he was the best man on the field. _ He blocked, clipped, and tackled like a real college veter­ an. That man was Captain Art Arrowsmith. In the second half the Edinboro eleven had an advanttage over the downstaters but could not score. Two big scoring chances were thrown away when holding and a man in motion were detected in the local ranks.

This is Milford’s view on Unem­ ployment. He claims the depressing condition of this country could be partially cured if everybody glave some of the unemployed a little bit to do around their houses. For ex­ ample Milford said that'he could use about three men, possibly four. One fellow could mend the holes in his sok as he thinks his mother ^is getting too old to thread the needle. An­ other could keep Cicero, the cow, in good condition and keep Jiis stable clean and wholesome. The third gent could peel potatoes and woi/k around the kitchen, wash the dog and cat, and feed the parrot and canary. According to Milford the ChineseJapanese imbroglio is nothing more than a musidal comedy without the music. He thinks Japan became somewhat lonesome living on the lit­ tle island and decided to invad| Qhina for a little excitemeht. When asked by the League of Nations why they became so rough the Japanese, so said Milford, claimed that they were inventing some new holds in the art of Jui Jitsu and that they the ^ ^ fine to practice on. The Chinese, when asked why they retaliated with an explosive attitude claimed that they too were experimenting. Some of the squint eyes had discovered some new fireworks arid were try­ ing them out just as the Japs were in the country. i At Franklin College, in Indiana, only one student knew that persons under twenty-one could no|: vote at^ presidential elections.
