Jimmy Hayes an A1l-American guard in Jim
crowleys book Last season, and this year he is out
to make it unanimous. Jimmy, Of the few home
BREEDS on the Fordam squad, is living symbol that
beef does not always mean success the gridiron.
Hayes listed Senior Last years squad,
but with only 2 seasons of varsity competition be-
hind him, he returned to school this year. The last
remnant Of the 1897 blocks of granite, Jimmy is
rlayer worthy to carry on the tradition Of that
great defensive line.
broken hand slowed up Hayes somewhat Last year
he might have received wider recognition, as he
outstanding in several games, particularly the
St. Hry's game, which he saved by 1ntercepting
Of their forward passes that would have been sure
touchdown. His short and compact build gives him
many advantages over other players.
The son of Jimmy wilson, the Philadelphia who
used to manage thePh1lies and coaches with the
Reds, catches for Lawrenceville Prep, and his dad
has ordered him not to play football in order not
to endanger his future the diamond.
In the dear old days football players died for
dear old Rutgers, with honor. But when Pitts squad
flew to the Coast to play Washington, every player
signed a waiver releasing the University from all
liability in case Of an accident. You die for
Pitt, but they won't even foot the burial bill.
The season hadn't even begun before word came
from Notre Dame that its entire allotment of tickets
for the Army-Notre Dame game had been sold. The
Last word heard around is that there are still few
seats obtainable at West Point.
Waynesburg College gained nothing playing Fordham
again this year, but another she11acdng. Still,
the days to come, the Yellow Jackets boast with
pride equal to that of the Rams, they participated
in the first college football game that broad
cast by te1evision.
Iva1 Goodman drew more nfirstsn than anybody else
in this years World Series opener. He first
Red to strike out, the first Red to retire Yankee,
The first man to get base on balls, the first to
steal second base, the first to reach second base
and the first to score a run. He is pretty
being first in line for the goats horns.
one OF the greatest htters Of the season, but,
strangely, little acclaimed, because his team was
not in the race, has been Ken Ke1tner, Cleveland
Indians third baseman. Ken is square jawed,
rough and ready guy who started hitting in April and
was still going strong, with 1etup, in September.

Has Germany New Weapon?

 What did Hitler have in mind when at Danzig he graphically threatened that "the moment could come very suddenly when we could a weapon with which we could not be attacked" Presumably some new military invention, chemical discovery. If so is not likely that the intelligence offices of his enemies have overlooked it. The major techno- logical surprises of the last World War the huge gun with which the Germans bombarded Paris, the use gas and the introduction of tanks Of the gun nothing be said than it freak, merely bigger than known guns of smaller caliber. On the other hand, gas or tanks introduced after the war was well under way. Machineguns firing through the propelers of airplanes known before 1914, though they had not actually been generally adopted by any army. set ..
 It would be remarkable indeed if the present war did not furnish its military surprises, but if technical history any guide they likely to come from gentle and ingenious civilians than from swash- bucklers Moreover the civilians will find it hard to overcome the resistance of the professionals From the days when the Chevalier Bayard received captive knights and bowmen almost guests, but cut off the hands of musketeers who had guilty of using the newfangled gunpowder, to the days when the German general staff opposed Fritz Haber and his gas and the British general staff adopted tanks only because of Winston Churchill's persistence, officers have not looked with favor innovations in death dealing. The reason is not that such civilians Gatlng and Maxim, who gave the machine gun, Fulton, the artist who spent much time in devising submarine. bloodthirsty than professional soldiers but that any army, a highly standardized organization drilled in the use of known and tried weapons and tactics cannot easily switch to ways however ef- fective they may be on paper.

 Col Gen von Fritsch was commander in chief of the German army until a month before Hitler marched into Austria He had been more effective than any other individual building the new German army, but he built it for Germany, not for the Ma tional Socialist party. That was his downfall
 Won Fritsch was one of the generals who opposed Hter's daring moves into the Rhineland into Aus tria his intervention in Spain and his alliance with Italy Extremists of the Nag: party set out to get him." They produced taIse evluence and von Fritsch resigned His colleagues of the general staff gave him house and an honor guard at the Potsdam mill tary reservation with the significant remark that there he was safe from the Nazis"
 Hitler soon saw the error. He wrote numerous letters asking von Fritsch to withdraw his resgna- tion but the soldier maintained his isolation. Only the war brought him out. He took command of an artillery regiment at the front as colonel But he did it not for the Nazi regime but for his country
 Details are lacking in the laconic communique announcing the generals death. Circumstances sur of any war for an officer his standing to be killed in action" There are men in ruling positions in Germany who will not regret his passing, for von Fritsch was one of the people who would certainly have stepped to the front to take control had the NaA regime toppled.

LONG LIVE BASEBALL

The World Series, greatest American sporting event ends with the incomparable New York Yankees winning the championship for the fourth straight year. The Yankees have lowered high the base ball world ever since 1886 But the superiority of the New York team did not make rout of the 1939 series did it deract whit from the interest the coun- try continues to show in the game.
 Every game of the present series was a good hard-fought contest, with the outcome in doubt right lost each contest by the narrowest of margins and the four to nothing outcome of the series games does not by any indicate the relative strength oi the teams.
 It's great game and most of us, even far away from the sunny series diamonds at Juneau look ing forward already to the beginning of the 194o sea- son. Maybe somebody will beat the Tanks next year

Honor and Be Trusted

We honor God by service and
worship; we honor our parents by
obeying them and giving them our
personal service, but how do you
honor your school?
Our beautiful modern building,
with all possible means of making
work easy for you, the special fav
or that are bestowed upon you, do
you just look upon these advantag-
es as things you must have? True,
there are many who only come to
school because, they are compelled
by law to attend school; others
come for the education they are
eager to get. No matter what the
reason, you should admire your
school and help it become outstand
ing in your state. Have you ever
been in other towns and seen their
schools and the way they are
kept? If you have, maybe your
mind wandered back and you COM
pared your school with the one be-
fore yours. Your shower room is
much cleaner and neater than this
one. Your gym is larger and has
more modern equipment installed
in it. When you finish the compar-
ison you will feel proud to be a
pupil Of your school.
Smyrna times., 1939-11-09

When you begin sticking chew
ing gum under the tables, marking
on the desks or throwing paper
towels around the wash room, Just
win these facts over in your mind
a few times:
l. You're only hindering those
who are trying to make their
school outstanding.
2. You're lowering your char
acter and making yourself unpop-
ular.
3. You're taking advantage of
the privileges given you by the
state and the school board. When
asked how you honor your school,
what will you say? You can honor
your school by protecting the furn-
iture, by obeying the few rules put
forth by the board, and by obeying
and helping your instructors. If
you honor your school you are one
to be trusted, and if you are one
who can be trusted you are out
standing in school life, regardless
of pretty clothes. So honor and be
trusted.
Dot. Badur
