Harvey Hedzpeth, Farm Credit Administration assistant general counsel, and W. J. Leppert, member of the New Orleans Safety Council were speakers at the regular series of commerce lectures, the last of which was held Friday morning in Marquette auditorium. The Farm Credit Administration was discussed by Mr. Hedzpeth. Accident prevention was the subject of the talk by Mr. Leppert. Mr. Hedzpeth emphasized in his talk the long-term farm credit afforded by the land banks, and the benefits accruing to farmers. "Loans totaling $11,000,000 have been made to Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama farmers," Mr. Hedzpeth said. 'Of these, 85 per Tad Gormley Tells Why He Wears Green Sweater "Athletes are depending more and more on brains than on brawn", spoke "Tad" Gormely, with 30 years of experience as a trainer to back him. "The boys have much weaker legs than in former years. They need to do more running and walking to build up their strength". Sitting back in ine swivel chair behind his desk in the gym, "Tad" was very reluctant to speak about himself. He is more at home when on the subject of the "boys". With a calm, modest tone of voice, the builder of champions said little to reflect the inv.iluable service that he has rendered Loyola for the past six years.

For 12 years "Tad" conditioned some of the best football and track teams at L. S. U. previous to his coming here. A native of Boston and a member of an old established family, Gormley was induced to come South in 1907 to direct athletics at the N.O.A.C. for 10 years. During this period he coached two track teams for Tulane. When the war broke out, he left the club for a position as athletic director in the army.

Twelve Seniors Climax Grid Careers Tomorrow As sincerely as the old Romans said "Vale" when one of their cherished friends departed, we say farewell to the twelve seniors who are playing their last game of intercollegiate football tomorrow. CAPTAIN FRANK SULLIVAN A large portion of the highest honors gained during the last three years of Loyola football are due to Ail-American, Frank Sullivan, captain of the Loyola Wolves of 1934. Frank has been one of the outstanding athletes since his entry into the University in 1931, when he was a sensation on the freshman team of that year. Frank came to Loyola after graduating from Father Ryan's High School, Nashville, Tennessee, where he was outstanding in all athletic contests. Living up to his record as a freshman center, Sullivan made it hard for the veterans to get in the game at the pivot position and has "ruled the roost" in this position for the last three years. Frank also is a member of the varsity basketball team, has been a weight-man In field events, and is an all-round good fellow who will be hard to replace, not only as an outstanding athlete, but also as a rare combination of brains and brawn. May all his other ventures be as successful as his football career. ALT.-CAPTAIN, PAUL JONES The feats of that courageous and intrepid American seaman, John Paul Jones, in the annals of war, have been practically equalled by the feats of Loyola's John Paul Jones in the annals of football. Never has a more intrepid and sagacious field general called the plays for the Wolves. Paul has been an outstanding ball-carrier since his freshman days. ,He came to Loyola from Notre Dame High School of Chattanooga, Tennessee, where he was an outstanding student and athlete. Paul has been a regular on the varsity for three years, is a member of the varsity basketball team and will graduate this June with a degree in commerce.

J., in the second of a series of weekly forums on "The Ethics of War" held Sunday at 7:45 p. m. in Marquette auditorium and broadcast over the university station WWL. "War always brings with it a wiping out of international justice", Father Burke states alluding to "the old slogan, 'All's fair in war' ". "Arbitrary standards, treaty lineups', and might replaces ordinary standards of justice", Father Burke said. "The pacifist is wrong in asserting, however", Father Burke stated, "that no one should go to war.

Coach Erskine has drilled and redrilled the Pack in every department of the game. A thorough and complete polishing up of all, the fundamentals, the addition of new plays and a more varied passing game to the attack has instilled into every Loyola player a sane aid of confidence that will ce carried into the classic game with Centenary today. Loyola to win must display this desire to win, this ambition toDgoto-town for the entire ball game. All the Wolves realize this and are determined to throw the works at the Gentlemen. In the meantime, Centenary is not going to sit idly by. The Shreveporters Intend to run up a score on the \mlves, they are going to play offensive football throughout the afternoon. With the Maroon and Gold relying upon the same tactics a most spectacular contest will surely result. Both teams have had to take to the air to win, while their respective opponents have also had to forward pass to score. Both coaches have their teams airminded and ready to open up with all the tricks thus far held back. Several of the Wolves have been making public their opinions about the outcome of the game.
