FOR u. s
AIR DEFENSE
IS URGED

"A legallirnit Army and Nav!
second to none, each with unex
Celled air forces" was urged BY
Major Roy E. Hughes, president
Of the District department Of the
Reserve Officers Association, II
o radio address over Station WJSV
last night in connection with the
observance of National Defense
Week.
Speaking of preparation for ma
tional defense as simply our ma
tional fire, theft and life lnsur'
ance," Major Hughes emphasized
the Importance of air defense par
ticularly as a protection against
hostile invasion OF American terri
tory. The Navy is being built up
to treaty strength and the regular
Army is close to its authorized
limit, he said, with civilian re-
serves back of that as the nucleus
for a new National Army to be
built around these military COM
ponents in the event Of an emer
gency calling for large-scale opera
tionS.
Defense Question
On the question Of air defense
he said:
"In the matter of air defense,
we face a more difficult situa-
ton. l wonder if you really
visualize what the next great
war will be like. The civil con-
flict in Spain is but miniature
of the horror and the brutality
of the warfare of the future. Lit
orally there will be no fighting
front, there will be no distinc-
ton between combat troops and
helpless, unarmed civilians. One
of the most formidable weapons
of the next war will be the
weapon of terrOr-and the
medium for spreading it will be
the airplane. Vast fleets of
powerful, swift airplanes will
sweep through the skies, drop
ping tons of high explosives,
poison gas and possibly even
deadly germs upon men, women
and children, without discrimi-
nation.
"It was only a few years ago
that some of our great inland
agricultural sections we're Op-
posed to national defense be
cause, being far removed from
a possible theater Of military
operation, they did not under
stand the grave danger that un-
preparedness produces.
UNDERSTAND NOW
"But now they understand
they know that the remOtest
farmland in the nation is as
readily accessible to an enemy
air fleet as the great seaboard
city. And they know that the
future military StrategistS will
realize that if they cripple the
breadbaSket and the munitions
supply of the enemy, even the
most powerful nations will be
brought to its knees.
$50 when we talk about ma.
tional defense today we all talk
the same language, and when it
comes to air defense, no single
branch of the defense is more
important to all of the people.
Our nation is far behind in this
arm, and we can not afford to
lag any longer. The War De-
partment estimates that eventu-
ally this nation must have an
air force Of 1900 modern planes
Because of the rapidity with
which planes become obsolete,
the heavy breakage rate due to
accidents, and other factors
which shorten the life of an air
plane, we shall need a program
of 800 modern airplaneS a year.
At present, Congress is appro-
priating for only $50 a year. We
must keep pace in this category,
which probably has become the
most potent arm of war SER

United Prass Stan Correspondent
 New York, Nov. 29-The 1887 football season was history today except for this weeks few deSul- tory skirmishes in the south and west and the climatic bowl" affairs on New Years day.
 California, winner of the Pacific coast conference championship and the western Rose bowl assignment, is expected to make its eastern se- lection today. Since this is the most prized bowl invitation eligible teams are reluctant to accept bids from sugar, cotton, orange, sun, etc. saucers until 1t is certain they will not be asked to Pasadena.
 The curtain dropped yesterday on the grandest season since the de- pression. Capacity crowds in every section of the nation returned after a flve-year lapse and were rewarded with hard-fought games, close scores and smashing upsets.
 Perfect Quartet
 In contrast to last year when none of the lands major elevens came York univertisy 20-7 to revenge last four made the grade this year. Santa Clara routed Gonzaga 27-0 yester- day to join Alabama, Colorado and Lafayette in the perfect" record group.

 Pittsburg. Rose bowl champion who, according to reports, is not so keen about 0 return to the rose fes- tival feature, finished a tough sched- ule with e l0-0 intersectional Vic- tory over Duke. Fordham, hopefully awaiting 0 Rose bowl bid, beat New York university 2$-7 to revenge last years defeat.
 In the casts biz intersectional, an underdog Columbia squad battled Stanford to a ScoreleSs deadlock in the mud. Southern California made a long eastward trek to take a l3-6 licking from Notrs Dame,
 Tho Big Six championship was decided Saturday when Nebraska edged Kansas State 80 for three conference victories, two ties and the title.
 One More Title
 The only major conference crown still undetermined Is the southwest and that will be decided Saturday when leading Rice tackles Southern Methodist at Dallas. Rice defeated Baylor l3-7 for It's third conference win against one defeat and one tic. If the Owls lose to S.M.U., the title will 70 to Texas Christian who clinched second place last week With a SO decision over the MethodiStS. If Rice is tied by S.M.U. the owls will have to share the crown With T. c. U.

DOBIE NOT DONE kSB.C. FOOTBALL
 COACH OF 1888
Contract Calls for Another Year Wit h"GlOOny Gil"
 in Charge; No Revolt
BY ERNEST BARCELLA


 Boston, Nov. 29.-IUP) Reports that Gilmour Gloomy GiD Dobie was doomed as head football coach at Boston College and that his play CTS revolted Saturday by concocting their own plays in the climatic game with Holy Cross were spiked of- flcially today.
 Graduate Athletic Manager John P. Curley denied run.brs that any Cae of Q half dozen nationally prom inent coaches was being considered as Dobie's successor and said the 58-year-old thin man" would be back at the helm next season.
 "Dobie has another year to go on his contract" Curley asserted. "The college will live up to that contract. Dobie has been doing his work 100 per cent and he's faithful fellow, He has been up against injuries all season. There has been lot of per- sonal venom in things that have been written"
 Many Mentioned
 Curley said there was nothing" to rumors that mentioned Lou Lit- tie of Columbia Gus Dorais of De- troit, Pat Haaley of Boston Uni- versity, Slip Madigan of St, MaryS and Adam Walsh of BoWdoin and one or two others as Doble's suc"' cessors. II haven't talked to any of these men," Curley said, "and dent intend to-"
 Reports of a revolt gained mo- mentum when Boston College un- iurlod an amazing display of razZle- dazzle and the quarterback and two other starting backs were Substitut- cd after the half In the 20-0 defeat at the hands of Holy Cross.
 "lf the players revolted," Dobie said, q was not conscious of 1t. There were two plays that were im- promptu. Both were laterals that were used indiscreetly. The other laterals and forward passes and all other plays were ours"
 II cautioned the boys between the halves about putting on anything we didn't have" Dobie added, but l made no restrictions. I merely told them not to improvise plays on the field. That's the most dangerous thing you can do in football. As fas as substitutioas are concerned, l tc9k men out when they were no loager able to play
 The long lean Gcot, who has been coaching college football for 46 years, said he did not "doubt" there was a certain amount of what you n ight call disscntion going on all fall In the squad I'm sure of it, But yOull find that on any college team tlAt has more than II good play CrS. The fellows who aren't picked to start naturally feel sighted ana start to complain and get sulky. l pay Q boy on his merits and sub- stitute on his merits"
 Grads "SOrc"
 Alumni criticism of Doble, who came here in February l936--two days after he resigned under pres sure at Cornell-started when Bos- ton College played a scoreless tie with Temple. It mounted when the team lost to Detroit University North Carolina State and Boston University and reached It's peak af- ter Saturdays defeat.
 Just year ago, Dobie was hailed ns "miracle man" when his team upsot highly favored Holy Cross.
 Before the start of the past cam paign, alumni and Boston sports writers rated 3. c. as one Of the potentially outstanding teams in the east. |,
 q didn't promise Q miracle team" Dobie observed. "That's what they yelves."
