PANTHERSAND 1 HUSKIES READY Washington And Pittsburgh Ready For Rose Bow l Game Pasadena, Cal.. Dec. 29 —<171*)—, The huskies of Washington settled i down to thlr last s< rious workout today and Pittsburgh’s Panthers started tapering off for the Rose bow! football game Friday. The men from the north country, champions of the Pacific coast conference, were due for a heavy eeeslon of scrimmaging and defensive work against Pittsburgh line plays at Brooks'de Park. The Panthers, who are in perfect shape and aching for a chance to win their first Rose Bowl game m four starts, planned a light running and kicking drill at their headquarters in Arrowhead Springs. They will work out briefly tomorrow and then niove on to new head quarters at the Huntington hotel in Pasadena. Washington, a elight favorite in the betting although it also never has won in the huge bowl in Arroy Seco, will get its fight lock at the stadium tomorrow. Coach Jimmy Phelan will lend hi « purple and gold jersied eleven to the game site for a light workout intended to accustom the players to the prevailing winds and turf. Pittsburgh will work briefly in the bowl Thursday. The Panthers, according to coach rfOck Suther’and. are at razor edgeAll of the players are mad —deter-, mined to make west coast epochs writers, who derided the selection of Pittsburgh, eat their words. Players who normally are quiet and easy going are sharp and surly-. "I think the team is about ready” Sutherland eaid today. “The boys are in as good shape as ‘hey ever will be. We may not win but the outfit is about as high ae it can get.” The Panthers had a stiff scrimmage yesterday at Arrowhead on a Held that was heavy with mud. Phelan on the other hand, isn t satisfied. He drove the huskies through a long, bruising practice yesterdav. The lines engaged in a scrimmage that ’anted an hour and a half while the backfield men practiced passing, running and kicking. Silver-haired Jimmy claimed the team was a bit overweight, but to ; those who wa’ched the workout the ; huskies seemed in as good shape as : a team possibly could be, especially the line, which still was fresh after the bruising scrimmage. “The team’s just fair. Phelan' said. “They still need a couple of good sessions." The huskies arrived here Sunday from Santa Barbara and yesterday was their first workout in Pasadena-

Sport Parade | Daytona Beach, Fla.. Dec. 29. pj do the country's multitudinous bowl football games constitute a menace or a blessing! Jumping on the fence and straddling a while with Judge Landis, the champion at that sort of thing, our answer is that there is quite a bit to be said on both sides. One fault with the bowl games is that several groups of fine young men are always hurt when the invitations are passed out. I refer, of course, to the teams who do not receive bids. Fortunately there are not so many of these. There are so many bowl games now, some statistician has figured out, that of the hundreds of elevens which played for mother, alma mater, and free tuition this season, only five did not get an offer of some sort. And two of the five we need not feel sorry for because one had a

measles carrier at right guard and the other played an alien (who bad reached this country by swimming under water from Ellis Island) at the tailback post. But what of the other three? My heart goes out to them. Counting nothing but regulars, those three uninvited teams represent 33 young men who worked like beavers all autumn and fall. Is it fair that a halfback who rang the chapel bell twice a day for months for the small remuneration of $lO a week, an occasional suit of clothes, and grades only 20 points higher than he actually made, should not’be rewarded with an invitation to glorify some community?

Another menace of the bowl games is the long railroad trip they invariably impose on teams. 1 have read enough statements by coaches to know that nothing is so disastrous on the physique and morale of a football player as a train ride. Ask any coach, after a long journey of more than a day, how his team feels and he will give you a report which, if it came from a doctor and concerned a loved one, would bring the tears gushing from your eyes. He will tell you his team is one seething headache, a mass of backaches, a writhing coil of neuralgia, colds, and anemia, and is so loggy it couldn’t beat a day nursery eleven with a handicap of two field goals. Obviously young men —especially growing young men—and there are always one or two that young on a college eleven —shouldn’t be subjected to such an ordeal. On the blessing side of bowl games stands their unquestionable educational value. I doubt if anything since coeducation has brought as much sheer enlightenment to this country as bowl games. Since the cotton bowl came into being people not only know where Dallas is. but also know its exact population, the name of its mayor, its bonded indebtedness, its public park recreational plans, its chief industrial products, its area in square miles (there’s something reaiiy vital!) and the .luncheon days of its Rotary, Civitan, Lion and Kiwanis clubs.

What is true of Dallas and the cotton bowl is true of Pasadena and the Rose Bowl, Miami and the orange bowl. New Orleans and the sugar bowl, and Havana and the shootin'-in-the-streets bowl. And the idea can be enlarged into a magnificent scheme to teach geography and history to the young. Let every town in the United States have a bowl and in 10 years there won’t be a person who won't be able to tell you the salient facts and attractive features of even the remotest hamlets. And no one will deny that it is just as important to have the historical lowdown on Scratch Ankle, Ga., say, as New York or Chicago. Why, the idea is endless! Yes —I’m afraid it is.

No appropriation was required for the third program as funds from congressional action permitting PWA to use its accumulated assets which were created from repayment of loans made und,er the first two programs,, enabling them to carry on. There are two types of PWA allotments. They include: 1. The federal program, under the national industrial recovery act, permitving departments and bureaus of the government to make needed improvements, for which PWA alloted 100 per cent :of costs. 2. The non-federal program, un- ' der NIRA and subsequent acts of congress, permitting the federal government to furnish the smaller 1 share of construction costs for the

’purpose of encouraging applicants to make local improvements. Most of these funds were supplied from local sources. A total of 23,580 non-federal applications have been tiled with the public works administration since i its creation, calling for allotments exceeding $7,000,000,000. Approximately 10.000 of these have been placed on the inactivel ist. They would require $4,5*0,000 to complete. Remaining to be approved by the examining divisions and eligible for allotments are 2,792 projects which call for loans of $113,393.313 and grants of $375,699,281. I Total construction cost of the projects was estimated at $831,087,417. Considering both the federal and non-federal programs, and including PWA’s housing programs, there has been alloted moneys for 25,200 projects costing $4,071,926.

Approximately $2,500,000,000 has been spent for wages and materials used on various projects by the PWA, it was revealed in the announcement. The majority of $1,500,000,000 used to purchase materials went into pockets of workmen in mines, forests and factories.

Nearly 2.5 per cent more workers were employed in production, fabrication and transportation of materials than were employed at the sit of construction. PWA records show. This, however, does not take into count millions of workmen who benefited through the increased demand for con--1 Burners goods. t o COLLEGE BASKETBALL I Purdue 68, Montana State 29.

But there was a sad atmosphere about the Vatican as realization of the pope’s condition became more ■ clear. He is in great pain from varicose veins and neuritis in his : legs.

NO REDUCTION rC-ONTtAn'm FHOM ONE) the incren.sed cost of government. The nation’s spending record teince the fiscal year of 1789 reflects three definite bulges in government spending, each accompanied by- an expansion of government itself. They are best explained in terms of government cost per capita. The American citizen of 1860, the year before the Civil wax. did not get as much government as the American citizen of today, but neither did he pay for so much. The per capita cost of government in 1860 was $2. The entire appropriation for federal business was only $63,000,000. The next year, with a w-ar on. the cost of government was sl.297,000.000. a per capita charge of $37.01. After that increase the government never returned to the $2-per-capita spending pace. The budget was reduced to $267,000,000 in 1880 but ’ icreased gradually until 1916 when expenditures totaled $734,000,000, a per capita cost of $7.29. Ab expenditures mounted from the Civil war period until just prior to American entry into the World war. the population in- ' creased rapidly. The per capita cost did not vary as much as $1

per year during that time. But the World war skyrocketed the cost of government. In 1919 the per capita charge was $176 40. It never returned to the $7.29 level. Taxpayers carried their lightest buiden in the Coolidge economy year of 1927. The cost of government for each person wus $29.56. Since then there has been a. steady increase, in 1932, $41.42; for 1935, SSB. It was about the same in 1936 and will approximate that for the current fiscal year. Political economists point out that it is the nature of government to create emergency organizations then absorb them in regular operations. Figures indicate that Mr. Roosevelt is doing that with some of his anti-depres-sion emergency machinery. 0 ,1.1,1 Purdue Swamps Montana State Lafayette,, Ind-, Dec. 29 —(UP) — Talk of another Big Ten basketball championship boomed to a new high
