NORMAN PARK ENDS U.OF M.SEASON World War Wrecked British Empire. Is Statement Of Booth Georgian Eleven Concludes Season For McCann’s Men Mr. C: Douglas Booth. English traveler and political authority, j gave the most interesting lecture heard at the university this season at last Tuesday’s assembly. He was ] heard by practically the entire student body. Mr. Booth was brought here by j the International Relations Club, and his lecture tour is sponsored by the Carnegie Foundation for International Peace. He was introduced to the student assembly by Dr. Ashe. The speech delivered by the lecturer was a short discussion of England, its present and past foreign policy, its relations with other nations, and its present plight. A brief resume of the address follows: England has always busied herself in maintaining the status quo. If any shifting of alliances of nations threatened to endanger British interests, which were practically everything in the world, then Britain threw her moral, often her financial, and sometimes her military, influence on the side that suited her purpose. In this manner she has for more than a century-maintained herself as the richest and most powerful nation on the face of the globe. The world war, however, upset the island empire absolutely. She tasted - defeat in victory, for the spoils weren’t worth the trouble to take. Her dominions gradually grew away from her. until now they are part of empire only in name. They are self-governing commonwealths. During England's great prosperity hundreds of thousands of her citizens were destitute, opprest. •Vow, with the kingdom rocking on the brink of bankruptcy, her entire population is comfortable and happy. For now they are free from the exploitation of the wealthy classes. Great Britain realizes that she ls losing her place in the sun. and doesn t squeal. She will endeavor from now on to uphold and continue international peace. The torch of empire must travel ever onward, so she has handed it over to America. Eight varsity men close their University of Miami gridiron cars eer when the Hurricanes meet Norman Park College tonight in the season finale. With three straight wins to their credit, the men of McCann will be battling one of the strongest teams ever to play here in an effort to bring the football schedule to a triumphant finish, and the graduating seniors in particular intend to see to it that their last game will go on the books as a victory. Head Coach McCann will probably use the graduating men as much as possible. Norman Park has compiled the enviable record of nine wins out of eleven starts. This, together with the fact that their two losses were by close scores to exceptionally strong teams, indicates a tower of strength in the Georgian outfit. They can boast of wins over Bowden. South Georgia State, both of which played here in the early part of the season, South Georgia Teachers, and several other Southern College elevens. In addition, they come here fresh from two victories in four days over prominent Havana teams. Norman Park ran over the A. D. C. Amateurs. 25-0, and barely edged out the strong Havana Athletic Club, composed mostly of former American college stars by a 7-0 count. One of their defeats was by the Parris Island Marines which was lost only-after the Marines completed a long pass in the last few minutes of play, making the final score 12-6. This game alone would be a reliable criterion of their standard of ballplaying. McCann has been driving combination varsity-frosh teams against Norman Park plays throughout the week, and expects to present a stubborn defense to the plunges of Bolden, 210 pound Georgia fullback, and the elusive running of his teammate, Treadway, while not neglecting the Miami offense, which has been clicking nicely for the past three games. Reservations have been made for a large crowd to watch the Hurricanes in action for the last time this year.

BEFORE CHRIST Miss Rosborough Show* Mistake In Date of Chri*t'* Birth, Origin of Celebration In a radio address from the university's studios last week Mrs. W. B. Rosborough. instructor in German, brought to light some very interesting facts about Christmas. The text of her reading follows : Why do we celebrate Christmas On December 25? Because Christ was born on that day? No. For Christ was not born then. Most of the scholars who have delved into the matter agree that he was born on the 6th of January. Then why do we glorify the 25 of December? For the answer, we must go back 2000 years before Christ’s time, to the Indo-German-ic tribes who lived in Asia. These tribes had their principal religious celebration on December 25 in honor of the Sun's birthday.
