other writers, Rugby lias become I much rougher since 1918. Feeling over the alleged brutality has been tense throughout the country ever since the trial at Bor-1 deaux of the player Talliantou, ae-' cused of homicide following the i death of an opponent whom he tackled. Although found guilty of the charge, he was given benefit of the First Offender's Act and escaped serving the sentence, but the game itself is now under trial. Many critics feel that the youth of today takes victory in athletics too seriously and tries to win at any cost. Others blame tlie casualties upon over-lenient referees. o I “Hot Coffee” Named After Dry Enthusiast Jackson.

PERILS OF RADIO TOLD 111 PRAYERS Mont Saint Michel —(France) —I March 11 (UP) —"Save us oh Lord from the perils of the radio." This, in brief, is the sustance of the prayers being uttered during the first fortnight of March in the parish church of Mont Saint Michel as part ot a crusade against the "dangers of the radio," A bitter attack upon radio, explaining why the prayer crusade has been undertaken is printed in the current issue of "Lea Annales du Mont Saint .Michael,” official organ of this pilgrimage center. The clerical writer assails the instrument as "an agent of anti-reli-gious propaganda, all the more dangerous since it penetrates every and insinuates its venom between two musical numbers.” He contends that radio programs disdain faith and make light of morals. He also criticizes the "inartistic phases” of radio programs and says that people, waste much valuable time listening to concerts and ftectures. mostly of doubtful virtue. However, he sees no hope of abolishing radio programs and has no solution except "moderation in use" and "energetic protests" against an-ti-religious programs, and the ap peal to prayer.
