Although 140 countries and ter- * ritortes In the world grant patents, this nation far outstrips them all . la tbe .number of patents granted yearly, the Patent Office reports. Last year a total of 39,793 were (ranted. Established 101 years ago— J«ly 4, 1836—the Patent Office estimates that approximately one million inventors in the United States have been granted patents. On the work benches of these men have been born the modern day conveniences and comforts of life —the telephone, radio, electric light, automobile, typewriter and countless other appliances for the home, farm, factory and office. Tbe nation's inventors have come from all walks of life, re- cords of the Patent Office show.

PHONE 1S6 Hia letter follows: \Tuscaloosa Ala., December 4, 1B37 \Dear Louis: \It's Alabama again and. this time not without argument. It was Tuesday evening at 8:10 that a breathless freshman dashed into the \Plpen Hot\ Restaurant and said 'Alabama got Invited to tbe Rose Bowl.' The stories previously circulated for days that Pitts- burgh had been invited; that Florida got the bid; that Alabama had accepted the Sugar Bowl bid; that Dartmouth had been the selected eleven, had so dulled the senses to such a statement, com- ing from a mere freshman, that no one seemed to pay much at- tention to what ordinarily would be startling news. \Having- maintained a secret •hunch' that Alabama would be the One,' and bavins; laid It-on the Up* with the odds 4-1 that Alabama would not get tbe bid. I stepped-to the telephone and eaHed the gym. An excMed voles said, 'California just oaUed and we accepted.' Inside of fifteen minutes the news had spread to ftva thousand students and a mass 'pep\ meeting was held on. the campus. Alabama was going to the Rose Bowl. \Having been connected in sports broadcasting, I have had a bird's eye view of the world's champion 1934 team and the 1937 edition. How do they stack up? What will be the outcome of the game January 1, 1938? \Not one person th&t saw the 1934 team had any doubt of the fact that Alabama would take Stanford. With BiU Lee, Dixie Howell, Don Hutson and others, in my opinion the football team never existed that could beat them. However, the 1937 team is different Alabama has a light line. With the exception of Leroy Monsky, there Is no particular color In the 1937 line. Monsky was picked for Ail-American but injuries have kept him from play- ing up to par in the last few games. The backfleld fs likewise. Kilgrow is the outstanding figure but he does norrate wit* Howell, Rlley Smith, Johnny Cain and other famous Alabama backs. The one redeeming feature is the team work displayed by the durrent eleven: No stars,- but eleven bril- liant playA-s, backett up by plerfty of reserve material. \California has many mentions for AU-American honors. Frank Thomas will have to think hard to perfect plays that will click as the passes clicked January 1, 1936 when Howell tossed them to Hut- son, accounting for the 29-13 drub- bing Alabama handed Stanford. The peculiar thing about it is the fact that Frank Thomas, the chubby, good natured head coach of football at Alabama, seems to have what it takes when he needs it. The best example of the fact took place November 25th, when Alabama played Vanderbtlt. Uni: verslty at Nashville. Alabama was scheduled to be beaten. Every- thing pointed to the fact. A Rose Bowl bid and the Southeastern Conference title depended on that game. Thomas was worried. His team were late getting started and not till the. last few minutes of the half did they put over tounhdown and then only on a 'lucky' ftSrward pass. Alabama failed to kick the extra point and the half ended 6-0. Vanderbilt came back from the dressing room an 4nsplred team, rushed for a touchdown *>n nix plays after the klckoff of the second half and they ditt kick the extra point. Alabama had no trouble in mid field; they Rained ground through the line, around .J^e ends or I through the air, but Inside the Donations to Tupper, Sunmount Libraries By Legion Auxiliary As a phase of Its community work Benjamin Churco Unit 230, American Legion Auxiliary, re- cently donated an 8-volume set of Torrington's \100 World's Best Stories\ to the Tapper Lake pub- lic library. A six-volume set of Torrington's works was also donated to the library of the U. 8. Veterans' Facility at Sunmount, for the use of the patient*.

Four .times Alabama placed the ball beyond the ten, only to lose It on downs. As minutes flew by with the ball In- side Vaaderbtlt's twenty yard line, Kilgrow decided to kick a field, goal on,fourth down.—-TWbslf we at an angle of 45 degrees from the goal posts. It was Ala- bama's last' chance to overtake the 7-« lead Vanderbilt held at that moment. Frank Thomas had what It took—a long lanky boy by the name of ftatrfont pushed Into tQe gam« without any notice, mis 'country boy* put tbe ball straight through the uprights to repeat his feat of some two weeks before when he won for Alabama with a field* goal from the 42-yard Una against Tulane. \Sanfort tola me attar the game lhat He didnt oare whether be kicked It or not,' and I believe him. With M.00O fans on edge— a -Rose Bowi bid and the South- eastern Conference championship on his shoulders alone as be* trot- ted onto that field. If he had cared, the n#rve strain would have 'floored' him. 'He was as cool as January when he drove that ball straight through the uprights from this difficult angle. That one kick of Sanford'a was worth jrOO'OOO to the University of Alabama. That is the amount (approxi- mately) the University will re- ceive fqr its appearance January first \So with plenty to lose (be- cause Alabama has never been defeated In five trips to the Rose Bowl) Thomas takes his 1937 Crimson Tide to California to face the Golden Bears. The betting odds are from 2-1 to 8-5 against Alabama being successful. This is not unusual. Strange as It seems, the betting odds have al- ways been against Alabama on the West Coast, despite the fact that Alabama holds a record un- equalled In gjames played and games won. \Without too much 'bragging,' I'll take Alabama by a narrow margin, stating further that both teams will score and predict that California will score first. The plays that Alabama will uncork on January 1st, I'll warrant no 'scout' has seen before, from Ala- bama at least. \Many people are planning on the trip to California. The trans- portation rates are favorable. A fifty-dollar bill will get you out there and back—however, I'm more interested in Tupper Lake, with Christmas dinner with my mother—something I have not en- Joyed in six years. I hope Santa Claus sees that I get it.\ Hit mouthpiece adjusted and wearing a football helmet to absorb shock. Max B. Noll, Mil- waukee, Wla., diver.
