FREIDENBERG PRO¬ VIDES DELIGHTFUL PRO¬ GRAM FOR PEN INMATES Due to the efforts of Mrs. Harty Friedenberg, the Jewish inmates of Ohi State Penitentiary, were delighted with a lovely Chanukah program last Sunday morning, Dec. l.'l. Miss Mary Loui.se Gale, prominent in Igcal music circles, rendered a group of beautiful violin solos. A number of vocal • selections were sung by Mr Jack Goldfarb, a student at Ohio State University, accompanietl on the piano by Miss Florence Silverman. Miss Goldie Silverman gave several clever recitations and Miss Rose Thall de¬ lighted the inmates with her jazz. A: Chanukah treat in the form of a bag of goodies was given each prisoner Mrs. B. E. Tushbant read a beautifu paper on "Chanukah as Thanksgiving.' Playiiijf before packed stadia seating i many, as 8l),O0() enthusiasts at a single intest,' the curtain ju.st rung down 1 the lO'-i.") football season goes down to history as the most successful to date. Everywhere from the Pacific i Coast to tile .-Xtlantic, from the Gulf of :o to Maine, huge football arenas found inadequate to take care of the hundreds of thousands that sough admittance to the college gridiron With only memories of the season left the attention of all interested in the gridiron game is turned to a review ol the accomplishments of 192.") footbal phiyers. This is the season of AU-Amer- All-Sectional and .\ll-What-No elevens. Last year's experiment of nam- AU-Jewish team proved so popu¬ lar that this tribute to the athletes of the Jewish faith is looked for by^,thfc thousands of Jewish fans throughi country. Namins the All-Jewish team this year has been a pleasure. Never before the history of football have so many Jewish boys occupied regular place the linp-nps of their college teams, has been a sort of boiling-out process with a keen study of play throughou the country necessary to pick the first and second best eleven players of the Jewish faith playing football in the United States. It was humanly impos¬ sible to see all the great teams of the country in action this year. Unfor¬ tunately our personal obsei'vafion h; been confined to the more important games in the East. We were fortunate enough, however, to enlist the aid of ; number of smart students of footliall ii le various sections of the country anc ith their advice we have named the best of the players from the North, South, East and West. In choosing the twenty-two players for the first two elevens, we have named' athletes from different states, as far Florida and Louisiana and way out west in Mississippi. Six states are •epresentcd on the first team, while men from sci'en liave been selected for the second team. In naming seven of the 12 pigskin w'arriors from New -York State, we will probably be confronted with the accusation of favoring the Em¬ pire State in our selections. Such criti¬ cism can readily be offset when one stops to realize that one-eighth of the tota Jewish population in the United States is huddled into New York. Another point we wish to make is that such col¬ leges as Cohmibia, N. Y. U., Cornell and Syracuse have ever been popular with the Jewish student. And then the fact remairs that each of the above elevens all first-class teams, had a number of first string players of our faith. Only three of our last year's first All- Jewish team are included in our selec¬ tions this year. Abramsou and Gross of Minnesota, the former All-.'\merican {Concluded on page 5) .Mr. Morrison, leading New York Jrncy, and for many years actively leiitilied with the Zionist movement, has ivcn ftlOO,000 towards the United Pal. estiiie .Appeal.

Darwin's Theory Correct Declares Rabbi Kornfeld] One can infer from his addrcs Memorial 'Hall last Monday evening that Rabbi Kornfeld is a devout adherent of the Darwinian theory. "When I see how some i)eo|)Ie make monkeys out of themselves," he declared "then I am convinced we are descended frc^m monkeys. - Absolutely, Darwii theory of evolution is correct." The rabbi expressed the belief that i is folly to spend billions of dollars an¬ nually to prepare for what might pos¬ sibly happen, for no positive solution to prevent a world catastrophe .has a' been brought forward. A colossal army is not the right preparation, in his opin¬ ion, hut rather phy.sical training in every school in .America to develop the men About COO people attended the lecture given under the auspices of the Colum¬ bus Federation of Women's Clubs. .
