FOOTBALL ahd All-Americans, are subjects you'd hardly expect Tony Hinkle to be talking about this week. Or next week. Basketball, you know, has taken over at Butler University. The athletic’ director got wolind up, nevertheJess, and what he let fly is too good to forget because in the final analysis, the little guy in football, the one who never makes the headlines, was paid a great tribute. . How Tony jot started on football isa‘'t clear. Could-have been a copy of Look magazine, opened 1o'the pages featuring the 1949 All-America team
which inspired the coaeh. Could have been’ that Tony wanted to forget-about a certain event which took: place in the Fieldhouse la¥t .8aturday night, ould have beén some of my questions.
Hard Work Wins Letter
“THE LITTLE GUY makes the All-American.” was the opening statement. Tapping a picture of Notre Dame’s Leon Hart, Tony quickly made -t clear that he didn't want to change football. There was no bitterness in his voice. You believed him and you promptly forgot about Butler's 1049 football record. “How do you figure the little guy makes the All-American?” We were off to the races, Coach Hinkle leading by three lengths. “How could you tell a man was a good football player without a basis for comparison?” Ummmm, d / “How much would a national championship

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13—Tea's a good drink and. so’s milk. Beer's all right, soda pop’s one of the few things that haven't gone up since before the war, and cocoa’s an- elegant tipple. And I'm going to swig no more toffee until the U. 8. Senate finds out whether there's a shortage of if, or isn't there? : If that's a confusing Introduction, fine. Thix is a confusing subject. And a lot of you people, in case you didn’t know it, have been drinking coffee lately that was 15 years old.
Champagne Is Cheaper
ALL THE Senate Agriculture Subcommittee knows for sure is that coffee’s suddenly gone up so high in price that it ought to be packed in velvet cases, like emeralds. A group of ladies in San Francisco have informed Sen. Guy M. Gillette (D. Iowa), that they intend to drink no more of the stuff with caffeine in it until the cost gets back to normal. It keeps em awake at night and champagne is cheaper, anyhow. The Senator also has on his desk a can of coffee a housewife bought here in Washington, with the price marked out three times, and new ones added. While it sat on her grocer’s shelf, it went up from 45 cents to 72 cents a pound. From Guatemala City Sen. Gillette has further word that the growers of the super de luxe coffee there have decided to hold up shipments for the next couple of weeks in hope of getting still higher prices. So he has called up the New York manager of the office of the Pan American Coffee Bureau and the head man of the National Coffee Association to see whether they know anything about the java situation. The information he got from the State Department wasn’t so hot, though I hasten to add that this wasn’t the department's fault. Becretary of State Dean Acheson flew up from Rio Ile Janeiro Robert E. Elwood, the second secretary of our embassy there, to tell the Senators all about the coffee situation. He had the Brazilian
figures, bul they seemed cockeyed. He didn't have About all he knew for a fact was that back . the nervous Twenties the Brazilians planted foo many coffée trees. And in the unhappy Thirties | ‘when most people drank their water plain) they! burned 78 millfon bags of coffee in their furnaces. This made-a marvelous smell along the Amazon, but the natives didn’t appreciate it. Then they chopped down a few hundred million coffee trees for firewood and by the Forties their! surplus of coffee beans wasn't quite so mountain! ous. The last couple of years they've been digging! deeply into their storage bins. | “Some of the coffee exported by Brazil this year| came from stocks that were 15 years old,” he| reported. 2 Sen. Gillette, who likes his coffee ag well as the) next fellow, wondered if it was fit to drink. Young| Mr. Elwood peered at him through black-rimmed | eyeglasses and sald that depended on how well you,

Formosa's Fate
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13—If the Chinese Com munists take over Formosa they'll get a nice, rich
island but they're going to have a tough time °
with the natives. “That is, unless they pose as Babylonians or something.
Those Formosans don't like Chinesé. - They were getting along all right under fhe Japanese when suddenly, at the end of the war, the Chinese moved in and started to give the poor Formosans the shakedown treatment.
You never saw the like. The Nationalists, under an Oriental Al Capone named Gen. Chen Yi, put on the biggest looting operation since Attila the Hun. They went through factories and office buildings, stealing everything portable. The took over businesses Just by kicking out the owners. Chinese officials made the natives pay graft for everything, even for the right to eat a square meal. They stopped Formosans on the street and made them hand over their watches and jewelry and gold teeth,
So the Formosans Got Mad
NATURALLY, the Formosans got mad and revolted. But that just brought more trouble. Chiang Kai-shek sent fresh troops over from the mainland and they -went around machine-gtin-ning and beheading and raping worse than the Japs did at Nanking. It got so bad Chiang finally had to fire Gen. Yi. In the midst of all this, the Formosans could not help yearning for the old days under the Japs.
