This time of the year finds the usual post season football dope in the sport columns and overflowing onto the editorial page in the form of comment. One, is offered tables showing the relative strength of different schools as Illustrated by record of their season's gains and losses. All-star elevens are passed in review. Statistics are compiled to show us just what football costs the public and profit and loss statements of the larger institutions are published. And ever present is the inevitable discussion as to the proper amount of emphasis to be placed on college sports...

There is a broad-beaten route between Canton and Pittsburgh along which bootleggers, white slavers and "reindeers" (dope-peddlers) have plied their flourishing trades. But the same route extends to many another Ohio city. To quote a civic-proud Canton Chamberman of Commerce: "If something similar should happen to rip the lid off, say, Youngstown or Akron, a much worse stench than we have here would come...
