WOTIQ, BIN Ul? iu? r ""'P. ? day of the year haa been generous in its contributions. The Gregorian month of January is the namesake of Janus, the two-faced Roman god accredited with the ability to look backward and forward simultaneously. Following is a partial list of im portant events that took place an? New Year's Day: 452 B.C.?First New Year's eels' bration held, it B.C.?Era of the Caesars bo fan. 1715?Paul Revere born. 1752?Betsy Ross born. 1774?First Union Bag of IS stripes unfurled by George Washing ton. 1792?Kentucky entered the Union. 1891?Union of Great Britain and Ireland. 1815?General Jackson repelled the British at New Orleans. 1863?Emancipation of Negro slaves proclaimed by President Lin coln. 1882?Greece gains independence from Turkey. 1898?Five boroughs of New York City corpora ted. 1981?Commonwealth of Australia formed. 1947?U.

Buon Capo D'Anno Got Nytt At Godt Nytt Aar Ein Glueckliches Neues Jahr Gelukkig Nieuwjaar No matter the tongue, the greet ing is always the same?it always means a wish that all share in a Happy New Year. Debate of Solar Years vs. Calendar Years Continues The earth evolves around the sun in exactly 365 days, 5 hours, 48 min utes and 46 seconds: consequently, Leap Years omitted haphazardly might result in the sun running away from the calendar and too many Leap Years would speed the calendar on ahead of the sun. The Gregorian calendar, devised and presented to the world in 1582 by Pope Gregory XIII, provides that years divisible by four?exclusive of the years numbering the centuries? shall have 366 days. Calendar Revised Date Changed New Tear's Day In 1582 the Julian calendar was I replaced by the Gregorian in a proc lamation issued by Pope Gregory XIII. This established January 1 as New Year's Day. Our present calendar, known as the Gregorian calendar, is based upon Pope Greg ory's revision of the Julian calendar and is more nearly in accord with the solar calendar?the error being reduced to only one day in 3,323 years. Protestant states did not adopt the Gregorian calendar until the 18th century. It was not until the 20th j century that Russia and others of the Balkan states decided to do likewise. Scotch Handsel Monday Day oi Gilt-Giving The Monday after New Year's is | traditionally the "big day" for I Scotch boys and girls; and, in addi tion to being the Scotch day of gift giving, it is a day of feasting and gaiety. Families and friends gather to "Drink a cup of kindness yet For Aald Lang Syne." See New Year's First Hanson island, a little British col ony in the Chathams, 414 miles south east of Wellington, New Zealand, will be the first to greet 1947. It is just east of the international date line, from which all time is reck oned. Early Scots Died Bible lor Fortune* A glimpse into the future and the fortunes of individuals could be found in the Bible, the early Scots believed. The sacred book was laid upon the table, opened at random and a finger was placed on the printed page. The entire chapter was then read, and the message it held was believed to describe In aome way the happiness or misery In store for the person concerned. HTHIS has been an odd and un ?*? guessable season in college foot ball, outside of Army and Notre Dame, but its greatest mystery mnv?? in th* tion of the Rose Bowl, the Pacific Coast conference and the Big Nine. Here we have some thing that passes all understanding. It was perhaps a trifle foolish in the flrst place to think that the Big Nine would pass ud the 1100.000 Grmatlaad Bice or more it could col lect from the com ing Rose Bowl game and give Army its proper chance to meet the wishes of both U.C.L.A., Southern Califor nia, the entire west coast and prac tically 100 per cent of this country's football lovers. The Btg Nine's only interest was In $1*0,0M. This can be understood in a great game thai is getting to be more and more commercial, with sportsmanship now a mere sideline. The Big Nine is not alone in this commercial angle, althongh it is one of the leaders. But what are can't understand is how the Pacific Coast conference suddenly turned and passed over the Rose Bowl to Big Nine control. For many years the Rose Bowl delegation has been try ing to get the Big Nine in line. A Sudden Change Year after year the Big Nine or the Big Ten has handed the Pacific Coast conference the dead eye and the frozen hand. It has completely ignored the Far West. Apparent ly the Big Nine, awaking suddenly to $100,000 revenue which had been going to southern teams, most of them also commercialized, had a startling change of heart. The Big Nine has decided to shut off this revenue from southern teams in the honest belief that such teams were using this important cash to "take tare" of players, many of them from the Midwest. But the mystery is this?why should the Pacific Coast conference suddenly decide to turn over the run ning of the Rose Bowl to the Big Nine, after so many years of back handed action? Why should the strong Pacific Coast turn yellow? Every one who follows football knows that Army should have been the only possible selection?a great team, playing its final game, keen to go?the team both C.C.L.A. and Southern California wanted. With this chance to regain its bowl leadership, why should the Pacific Coast conference suddenly decide to make this just another intersec tional game, secondary once more to the Sugar Bowl as far as class and general interest go? The Major Mystery But this isn't the most baffling point of the five-year arrangement. In the future the Pacific Coast con ference will enter its Far West champion. The Big Nine will play its champion the first year but, if this champion repeats, another team will be named. This may be the sec ond or third Big Nine entry. It won't be a champion who repeats. And later on the Big Nine will select the opponent to face the Pacific Coast conference champion?from the Mid west or from the East?or from any where else. This gives the Big Nine control of the Rose Bowl game, a game the Pacific Coast conference started and developed and placed on top. The Big Nine, hostile to the South's system of paying or recruit ing football players, hostile to the South's financial benefit from bowl games, now becomes the South's greatest benefactor. From now on the Sugar Bowl, the Cotton Bowl and the Orange Bowl will benefit considerably from the recent Rose Bowl action. ? ? ? The Biggest Thrills This has been a sporting season, now moving swifdy into ancient his tory, that has known more than its share of ups and downs, of dull spots and of thrills, of brilliancy and sec ond rate effort. ? But, it still has given us sport thrills that will hang on in memory. A few of these in the order of their appearance were: Assault's great stretch run in the Kentucky Derby, the opening shot for the Triple Crown. Two others came in the solitary, but solid, punch that Tami Mauriello threw at Joe Louis, in the first few seconds of their meeting, and the melodramatic melee between de fending champion, Tony Zale, and challenger, Rocky Graziano, in their middleweight brawl, a super produc tion in its fashion. Then there was the final game of the last world series where, in the closing two innings of the seventh contest, the Cardinals and the Red Sox, with slim Harry Brecheen called on for the third stand, put on a show that came near tearing the human pulse out by the roots. t The two final thrills belonged to the last two football games I saw:. The Pennsylvania-Cornell contest and the Army-Navy game. In each case the underdog, given from 25 to 20 points the worst of it, battered and beaten, came from far bock to
