Polished Up
As for Texas A. and NJ, men who
see more of a football game than
co-eds and pom poms, tell me Coach
Homer Norton has corralled some
Of the widest young brutes seen out
side Of a rodeo and polished them up
into one Of the smoothest units the
southwestern conference has devel-
oped.
On second thought, doubt II
s, 100000 seats would be enough,
All of Texas would be there, all OF
Tennessee, all Of Southern California
and all the New Englanders who
haven't had a really good Ivy league
eleven since Fudge Heffelfinger was
not only pudging but Heffelfingering
here In the dear old east.
If you have concrete mixer and
options on these four teams, don't
hesitate TO call me, no matter what
time OF night. A more concrete idea
wouldn't hurt either.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-11-28

New York, Nov. 28-(UP)-If I
had enough concrete, and a place to
pitch 1t, would build football sta
dium with 100000 seats, print my
self 100000 tickets at Ave bucks A
throw and introduce the round robin
bowl.
During the last week Of December
and the first week Of January, I
would hold enough games for the
recognized four top teams in the
United States to play one another
and determine to the satisfaction Of
all 100000 and myself which was
the really best team in the country.
At the risk Of having some chronic
naggers write in and complain, I
will name the four top teams In the
United States now. They are, and
the order in which they are named
means nothing. Cornell, Tennessee,
Texas A. and NJ, and University OF
Southern California. One is from
the east, one from the southeast,
one from the west and one from the
southwest. Between them, they al
ready have demonstrated their SUI
periority over claimants from all
other sections.
Great Quartet
I doubt II any football season
within memory has produced four
such top-flght elevens. I have seen
three Of them-Tennessee, Cornell
and U. 8. C.-and heard enough
about the other to know that 1t be-
longs In the same bracket. But no
amount Of argument ever will settle
the question Of which Is the best OF
the four, because there Is no way In
which they can meet and settle the
argument with football.
Take II from me, there is little to
choose between them. The first I
saw was Tennessee, and on the day
the Vols smashed Alabama, 40,
you couldn't picture team capable
Of beating them. That Is, until you
saw Cornell get of the floor after a
terrific beating by fine Ohio State
squad, and Shrow an irresistible at
tack. Cornell had everything In It's
comback drive that Tennessee had
against Alabama - speed, drive,
blocking, precision and power.
Then came Saturday at South
Bend and q glimpse Of the Trojans
In their victory over Notre Dame
team that had beaten seven power
full foes. Southern California had
all Cornell and Tennessee had, plus
a little more manpower. The quar-
terbacking Of the Trojans was O bit
at fault, but that didn't matter. Any

 In every battle and skirmish since the birth of our corps ma- rines have acquitted themselves with the greatest distinction, win , ming new honors on each occasion until the term marine" has come to signify all that is highest in military efficiency and soldierly virtue.
 This high name of distinction and soldierly repute we who have received from those who preceded us in the corps. With it we also received from them the eternal spirit which has animated our corps from generation to genera tion and has been the distinguish ing mark of the marines in every age. A
 So long as that spirit continues to flourish marines will be found equal to every emergency in the future as they have been in the past. and the men of our Nation will regard us as worthy successors to the long line of illustrious men who have served as Soldiers of the Sea" since the founding of the corps.

Marines all over the world will rally on their birthday to hear an annual proclamation. At posts along the seaboard of the United States, in islands Of the Pacific. in far-off China and on ships at sea, they will pause in their duties to listen to their commanders who are directed in official orders to read the following words:
 On November, 10. ITS. a Corps Of Marines was created by a reso- lution of the Continental Congress. Since that date many thousand men have borne the name Marine. In memory of them 1t is fitting that we who are marines should commemorate the birthday of our corps by calling to mind the glories of its long and illustrious history.
 The record of our corps is one which will bear comparison with that of the most famous military organizations in the worlds his- tory. During 90 of the 164 years of it's existence the Marine Corps has been in action against the Na- tion's foes. From the Battle of Trenton to the Argonne, marines have won foremost honors in war, and in the long eras of tranquility at home generation after genera tion of marines have grown gray
