dollars Is enough nioney to scare many people;, others have
been more frightened by what is being done, and not done,
to the future of their children. By the time this is published
the results should be known, but' I can ask questions that
might still apply. How many people let their love of a good
.(ight confuse their minds as to the real question? How many
parried. over grudges from the past and permitted them to de
cide tieir stand on this matter? And how many stayed on the
sidelines and watched, not.realizing or caring that they were
on the first string? Yeah, politics and elections are a tradition
al American sport. People expect exaggerations and card
tricks, and expecting'them'assume all that they see and hear
are nothing more. Who wins?
J THE Southern Conference is having a rough time devis
ing face-saving expressions, and the University, of Maryland
isn't cooperating. The SC issues a ruling refusing permission
for the Terps to play in the Sugar Bowl: the Terps say "we'll
play anyway." Clemson, who at least sent all the member
Schools a wire before accepting the Qator Bowl bid, was
put on probation along with Maryland who just went ahead
and accepted. The ruling is supposed to mean that other con
ference toams 'cannot play' the two backsliders.' ' However,
When Maryland is pne of the top teams in the country, do you
suppose that many of their poor relations are going to pass up
the Terps, and their drawing power out of self-righteous
'wrath? Be refreshing to see all the teams start cancelling, but
il'll be surprising too. .:) .- '
KENTUCKY is "having trouble these days. After being
rated on top of the cage, along comes Minnesota and shakes
them down. Then announcement is made that Kentucky
players are involved in at least one more "fixed" game and
that investigation is continuing. It is all up to the governor
Hp do something about it, however, and he may turn out to
be at the races.
BACK to the question of bowls. The Southeastern Con
ference has refused to ban them, surprising no one, but they
cjid put a limit, officially on spring practices. Not that I'm
cynical this beautiful election morning, you understand, but
sprmg practice is capable of many names and interpretations
lyhile you cauld hardly fill the Sugar Bowl by announcing
that a pink tea would be held there.

DALLAS An Englishman who
died two years ago was indirectly
responsible for the development of :
a protective device which appears
destined to find general use in
football.
The' Englishman, a farmer near
Independence, La., asked Dr. M. T.
Marietta, a dentist, to fashion him
a plastic nose. The mah had suf er
e.d; a disease that had destroyed Ills
nose. : ; .; -.,
HVE MODEL USED
Dr. Marietta prevailed upon an
other resident of Independence to
be his model. The man, Uke the
patient, was tall, thin and hollow
cheeked, tfhe dentist made a mold
of the man's face and then formed
a crude plastic mask to be. attach
ed to the Englishman's face with
metal hooks fitting inside ' the
cheek bones, -
' The Englishman was content with
the results of the experiment and
worn his false nose until he died.
Dr. Marietta now resides In Dal
las and lately ha$ moved to devel
op the face mask. Last year he fit
ted Bob Smith, Texas A. and M.
football star, With one for protec
tion of his broken jaw suffered In
the Baylor game in mid-season.
This year the entire Texas A. and
Mj football team has been fitted
out with the masks for protection
of the nose and teeth.
As soon as Dr. Marietta learned
of the broken jaw sustained by
Drake University's famed halfback!
Johnny Bright, he dispatched two
of his special masks to the player.
Dr. Marietta has been virtually
deluged with inquiries and orders.

Messet led the Canton girls with
12 points. Johnson got seven. The
losing ladles were led by a sub,

up eight.. Another sub, Justice, got
seven along with a regular, Bishop.
