Among the old superstitions are many quaint customs that have J been observed for centuries and !i have come down almost to this day ; and age. They include: Ijjj To bring good luck, one must wear something new on the first i day of the year. This is an old : English belief. In some parts of England and I Scotland it is believed to be un-- j II JANUARY lucky to leave the house on New Year's Day until some outsider has entered in. There is also an old superstition conceding the weather told in an Jd legend as follows: "If New Year night wind bloweth south, It bctokeneth warmth , and growth; ' It west, much milk, and fish in sea; If north, much cold and storms there'll be; If east, the tree will bear much fruit. If northeast, flee it, man and brute." It was considered unlucky also for one to make a present on New Year's until one had first been re-ceived. f O Under the te a s er headline: "Watch for the political scoop of the decade!" The Eastwood News, of East Syracuse, N. Y., launched one of J the most interesting pro motional programs ever conducted in that area. It turned out to be an election to determine the winner in a contest to name a baby "mayor," with the "B.abycrats" versus the "Cribicans" in the balloting. Shown at right is Syracuse Mayor Frank J.

If an air of modest pride shines through her other-wise business-lik- e mien as she looks over the situation with Mrs. Ann Halstead, publisher of the News, that's under-standable, too. O Freddy Ellis, 2, at right is the "president" of the common council in the municipal "cabinet" of "Mayor" Potts. Freddy, who looks like a good mixer, received 1,234 votes. sA I : .

Here, at left, is Nanette Michaud, 20 months old, who is commissioner of pub-lic works" in "Mayor" Potts' re-gime. She holds her "office" by virtue of running third in t h e election. Now, here is a hard loser if there ever was one. He's Ricky Sharp, (right), who is the "cor-oner" in the infant elec-tion contest and he doesn't seem to appreci-ate it at all. Despite his animal buddies, who seem to be trying to get his mind off his troubles, Ricky makes no secret of the job he wanted. The poster shows what h i s goal was and Ricky's face shows what he thought about not get ting it. No one could ex-pect any congratulatory messages from Ricky when the votes were counted.

He figured he was beaten so be couldn't see the use. But when he made his little play, it took a lucky swerve, A sudden, unexpected hop t curve, And straightway they all raved about his "courage" and his "nerve." He started in with bulldog jaw to make a winning fight. He started in to see it through as The 1949 story of this quartet bt teams is sad and somber; I hate to repeat what I found. Harvard, Holy Cross, Colgate and Indiana played 38 games this last fall. Each . won a game. They lost 34 and only won four. As a rule they were mur-deredwreckedannihilated. Now these are not unknown universities. They are quite important universities. Oddly enough, Indiana's only victory was over Pittsburgh, the team that beat Northwestern, con- - any stalwart might. But when he cut in with his play, it took a hard luck bound, And so they rose and branded him a "quitter" and a "hound." Just write this in your little book, all set for early call "Dame Fortune is a cockeyed wench who makes or breaks them all." The Other Side of the Picture n NY NUMBER of words have been spilled lately about the glory of Notre Dame the grandeur of Army the great- - querors of Michigan. I might add another great univer-sity to this list Columbia univer-sity coached by Lou Little. Colum-bia lost her last seven games. I see where Gen. Dwight Eisen-hower says Columbia should have a winning team. How can you have a winning football team minus foot-ball players? You can't build up a top football team by maintaining a scholarship blockade against good football players, most of whom are not the best students in the world. The Most Valuable Player The turmoil and the shouting, one way or another, over the selection of Ted Williams as the most val-uable player in the American LeaffUe for 1949 is fartintr nut Rt ness of Oklahoma and the gilded for-tune of California. Here were the centers of all the cheering the homes of the loud huzza. We began to look around to find out how the other there is one detail that will be re-membered by those conducting this poll this is the matter of waiting until the two big league races are over. In this last season the poll was ended with a week left to go. This was like calling a horse race in the stretch with half a furlong left. It is a very simple matter to wait until the final play is over. When Ted Williams was voted the most valuable player, it looked as if the Red Sox were sure to win. Up to that point Williams har? been a big factor in the pennant race. He was then the leading hit-ter in the league. He was in front with runs driven in. The judges who failed to give Bizzuto a vote must have been covering basketball or the races. They certainly saw no Grantland Rice . , can remem-ber the day when Harvard, Holy Cross, Colgate and Indiana were notable foot-ball names. In the reign of Percy Haughton, Harvard was the best team in the country, not even barring the Big Ten, the far west or the south. Too remember Mahan, Hardwick, Brickley, Bradley, Felton, Casey on and on. I recall the year when Andy Kerr and his Colgate squad were the prides of the East unbeaten un-tied unscored upon. And unin-vited. Holy Cross often has been tough competition especially under the direction of John McEwan, the great Army leader. And it was onlv ball games or looked at na rec-ords. Or they would have select-ed differently. Ford Frick, not only president of the National league, but formerly one of the best of all baseball writ-ers, agrees with this idea of post-poning the poll thoroughly. "They should wait, of course," he said, "until the season is over. Suppose we started awarding pennants with five or six games left to play?" a few years ago short years when Indiana was the pride and con-queror of the Big Ten as Bo and his "po' little Indiana boys" finished far in front. As I reviewed the record of these four teams for 1949, I recalled cer-tain lines "I'll say on this terrestiai ball Nations and markets rise and fall But football wobbles most of all." Nations Have Own Mew Year Customs Almost every nation on earth has welcomed the New Year with some form of ceremony, not, how ever, on the same date or in the same way. The Druids celebrated the New Year on the shortest day of the year, the time, in their belief, when the sun which had turned away in winter then turned homeward, bringing with it light, warmth and good cheer. The superstitions that cluster around the day began way back in the time of these sun worshippers when the priests led the people to the forests of the gods for small sprigs of mistletoe which would bring them health and prosperity for the year. So important was the event the people marched In processions to the groves, led by the priests, and there the mistletoe was cut with sickles of gold. U.S. Public Holidays All State-Proclaim- ed New Year's Day always has been actively celebrated in the United States, and from Colonial times to the present it has been a day of great significance. The Presidents have received the public at great receptions on that day, and the custom of visiting friends and relatives is one which has survived until the present. In the "gay nineties" this vis-iting back and forth attained a tremendous vogue and the young blades of the city and town looked forward to the event with the keen-est anticipation. Still New Years' Day seems to be growing even more in popularity and the average American feels "lost" unless he has some plans to "go somewhere" and "do some-thing" on New Year's Eve. Two-Face- d Janus The name January is de-rived from the two-fac- god, January. In mythology he was origi-nally the god of light and day, but he gradually became re-garded as the god of the begin-ning of things. The beginning of the year was sacred to Janus and a festival in bis boner, called Aginla, was celebrated. At the beginning of any important undertaking his advice and assistance were sougiit.

It was at noon, January 1, that secre-tary of state Seward carried the emancipation proclamation to the President for his signature. "I have been shaking hands since 9 o'clock this morning and my right hand is almost paralyzed," the President said to Seward. |
