nual roll call Red Cross drive, ac-
cording to officers of the local

more than ever the necessity for

Germany Cancels Winter Olympic Games Scheduled For I4O
Shore Status As Hockey Player Remains Puzzle

Boston, Nov. a. -CUP)-Hockey fans and experts alike were puzzled today by the latest twist in the case of defensenan Eddie Shore, star player of the National Hockey leagues Boston Bruins and owner manager of the Springfield Indians of the International American league.
 Bruin officials announced last night that Shore will play with the team against the New York Rangers here Sunday, but that he will be allowed to decide whether to compete in three other home games before Dec. IS.
 Under his contract terms, Shore was supposed to play only in all Boston home games after Dec. IS with an emergency clause calling for his appearance before that date. The clause has been invoked in two home games because of an injury to defenseman Jack Crawford. Shores contract does not compel him to play road contests.
 The Bruin management said it had refused Shores request to play for Springfield in return for his extra appearances here. General Manager Art Ross said, Eddie is too great player to perform in any other league than the National Hockey League"

 DUTY SAY REICH SPORTS LEADER
Germany Ready to Main- tain Sports Relations
 With All Countries

Berlin, Nov. 24.--(UP) .-The fifth winter Olympic games, scheduled to be held in February at Garmisch- Partenkirchen, Germany, were can- celled today by the German Olympic committee.
 The announcement was made by Hans Won Tschammer und OSten, President of the German Olympic committee and Reich sport leader, who referred to @ recent decision of the International Olympic com mittee stipulating that a belligerent country cannot be host to an Olym- pic games.
 He declared that consequently the German Olympic committee to- gether with the organizing com- mittee of the winter games passes the following resolution;
 "War Must Continue"
 Germany, true to peaceful mis- sions also while at war, has con- tinued preparations for the fifth Olympic winter games of l940 at Garmischpartenkirchen and com- pleted arrangements. Since German proposals for world peace have been rejected by England and France, and therefore war must continue, Germany returns the trust of hold ing the Olympic winter games of 1940 to the International Olympic committee.
 Germany also in the future will devote her resources and energy to cultivate and further the Olympic idea. In the history of sport, the fifth Olympic winter games of l940 will be registered as cancelled :" Won Tschammer und Osten then emphasized that Germany is con- scious of having done her duty in true Olympic spirit and expressed the conviction that the Olympic games, even if not held, will remain their benef1cia effect on interna- tional sport.
 He reiterated Germany's readi- ness to maintain sports relations with all countries and mentioned that in connection with this policy International matches in various sports have been arranged for the future between Germayn and the Netherlands, Belgium, Bulgaria Slovakia, Hungary, Italy. Denmark and Bohemia and Moravia.

New Haven, Nov. A = Possessors of more points in the league stand- ings and playing much better hockey than any New Haven team in the past 10 years, the Eagles return from their first western trip of the season Sunday night to meet tn eonce in- vinc.ble, but now fundering, Phila- delphia Ramblers at the Arena.
 The game will get going at 8:30 and a capacity crowd is expected as the greatly improved playing of the current crop of Eagles has engen- dered more genuine enthusiasm among the hockey faithful than has been exhibited by the Eagle follow CTS in many years.
 Unable to score a win in their first eight games because of lack of or ganization due to the addition of seven new players, the Ramblers can be expected to provide Jimmy Wards men with more opposition than their record would indicate.

New York, Nov. 24--(UP) --Wasll- ington upset oregon in the most im- portant football game of the first half of the nations double Thanks giving holiday.
 A 6O-yard drive before 10000 in the last period gave the team from Seattle 20-13 Pacific Coast Con- ference victory to highlight e day which would have offered other top- notch games but for the late change in date which forced revisions of schedules.
 In twoother outstanding games Virginia Military Academy swept past Virginia Tech, 19-7, for the first time in 10 years, and Syracuse downed Maryland, 10-7, a field goal by Dan Murphy in the first quarter providing the winning margin.
 Other tter-than-average con- tests saw Utah rout Utah State, 27-0 to keep in the running for at least tie in the big seven conference championship: William and Mary upset the undefeated Richmond Spiders, TO, their touchdown coni- ing after a March of 80 yards in the third period: and Denver swamped Idaho, 23-0

Graduation Days Here

The John Bassett Moore
High School Of Smyrna and
the Clayton Grammar School
have just completed their
week Of Commencement exer-
cises and credit is due Supt.
George r. Miller of Smyrna
and Principal Willard W.Hick-
man Of Clayton for the fine
programs rendered. These
educators with their staff of
competent teachers h ave
wrought well.
These days mean different
things for different people. In
the main graduation is the
passing of one period and the
beginning Of another. The
ending and beginning of the
periods are closely related.
For some pupils it means the
taking up of new studies
within three months. Others
will link themselves up with
life in dead earnest, take up
tasks and forge to the front.
Others are discouraged, not
satisfied with the progress
they have made. Perhaps
they have measured them
Smyrna times., 1939-06-15

selves by wrong standards.
Perhaps they have not yet
found themselves. Purpose,
habit, self-control, practice,
the desire to be and to do, will
put every student forward in
the race of life. Who can
measure the influence of these
days upon the individuals, the
present and the future gener-
ations, upon the nation now,
in the future?
There is no better gift we
can offer to a young person
than the opportunity to Sc
cure good education. Real ed
ucation unlocks and leads out
the best in us, enlarges the
vision and expands the capac-
ity. All may go forward in a
life of usefulness if we are
willing to pay the price Of
proper preparations.
