across the Mediterranean to TuD,ia
and Algeria. The Reichs booty ap-
pears to be considerably more ex-
tensive than Mussolini's prospec-
tive swag.
The Germans are said to have
obtained from Franco sites for no
fewer than 10 air bases on the At
lantic Ocean and the Bay of Biscay.
These are located near Pasajes,
adjacent to the French border, and
Ferrol and Marin, in Northeastern
Spain. Operating from any of these
points, German aircraft could easily
menace Britain's position in the At
lantic. In addition to concessions
on the peninsula, Hitler is credited
with having secured even more i'm
portant footholds in Spanish Africa.
These include strategic positions at
Ceuta and Melilla, in Spanish Mo-
rocco, which command the Strait of
Gibraltar, and territory contiguous
to the French Moroccan frontier.

On the northwestern coast of
Africa Gen. Franco Is reported to
have granted Germany certain
rights at Ifni, adjoining the south
western corner of French Morocco,
and Cape JUDY, in the Spanish West
African coastal possession of Rio de
Orc. Italian Tripolitania and Rio
de Orc are directly across Northern
Africa from each other. Operating
from air bases in those respective
territories, the Berlin Rome axis
would be able to separate the French
African empire in its north and
south communications.
OF chief Importance to the
United States in the territorial
deal the Germans are alleged to
have made with Franco is a base
in the Canary Islands for air and
submarine purposes. The Ca
naries, lying off the northwestern
coast Of Africa. are in the same
general latitude as the Cape
Verde Islands and the Azores.
They would provide aircraft with
an ideal jumping-of place for
transatlantic flights to South
America, especially Brazil. Dur
in the past two years German
seaplanes have made several rec
ord-breaking flights from these
insular North Atlantic points to
the Brazilian coast and back.

Hitler Already Has Received Important
Concessions for Aiding Franco

Possession is not always II points

A Capital historian VINO ranks as
an authority on the Continental
Congress, takes this column gently
but firmly to task for having sug-
gested a comparison between Ger
tain recent performances in the
Senate and the lack Of support
George Washington endured at the
hands of the Continental Congress
during the Revolution. The his
torian says that while Congress
was in part to blame, a far heavier
charge lies against the States" In
his edited edition of 1.-THE Writings
of George Washington" John c.
Fitzpatrick quotes the following let
ter from the first President to
George Mason, dated March 27,
1779:
allude to no particular State,
nor do I mean to cast reflection
upon any one of them. Nor ought
I, it may be said, to do so upon
their representatives, but it is a
fact too notorious to be concealed,
that Congress is rent by party,
that much business of trifling
nature and personal concernment
withdraws their attention from
matters Of gres;- national mo-
ment at this critical period.
When it. is also known That idle
ness and dissipation take the
place Of close attention and ap-
p'ication, no man who wishes
we'll to the liberties of his coun-
try and desires to see its rights
established can avoid crying out,
where are our men of abilities?

but, as was the case in Spain and
the Far East, are mere expressions
of physical force embarked upon at
any time by states which have no
interest in written treaties or inter-
national law and customs.

to prevent a world war, then the
cost in dollars will be relatively
small and the saving in human lives
will be relatively large The main
difficulty, to be sure. is the payment

High School Rivals
 At Stadium Today

Crosby wound up its hard prac- tice Thursday in preparation for the game with Branford high at Municipal Stadium tomorrow after noon. Coach Schofield has been putting on the pressure this week as he was far from satisfied with the showing of his club against Derby high last Saturday. Several hard scrimmages have been held during the week and an improve ment is looked for in the play of the team tomorrow. The main fault in several recent games has been the failure of the team to get started before their opponents have already scored. This fact has been driven home all this week and 1t can be expected that Crosby will get going tomorrow from the open- ing whistle.
 Sugrue On Sidelines
 Frank Sugrue, regular center, is still on the sidelines with broken thumb and will not play tomorrow. Sugrue's loss was felt in the Derby game as he not only passes more accurately than any of his under studies but he is also power on defense. His backing up the line has featured nearly every game this season. Fenn, who played center last week, again has the call this week. Injected into the center slot

MANY FOOTBALL RECORDS RISKED
 ON GRID TODAY
Duke-N. C. Game in South Is Game of the Day;
 Oklahoma vs Missouri
BY HENRY SUPER United Press Staff Correspondent

'
 New York, Nov. l8-(UP)-Dlxie and the midwest stage the best football shows in the land today.
 Down south in Durham, N. o., it's tied but unbeaten North Caro- lima against Duke---a rivalry more intense than a Kentucky feud. And out in Columbus, Mo-, Oklahoma, another of the unbeaten but tied band, goes against Missouri eleven that's really begun to roll.
 In all other sections of the country, perfect record teams face opponents who may dump them.
 In the east, unbeaten and united Cornell tackles a Dartmouth team that lost it's flrst game of the sea- son last week to Princeton.
 Tulane, unbeaten but tied by North Carolina, risks its record against Columbia. Other eastern games: Fordham-St. Mary's Nebraska Pittsburgh; Michigan Pennsylvania; Holy Cross Carnegie Tech; Penn State-Army; Yale Princeton; N. Y. U.-Georgetown; Syracuse Colgate and Harvard-New Hampshire.
 Supporting the Missouri Okla homa game on the midwest pro- gram are a couple of other first class games -- Northwestern-Notr Dame and Iowa Minnesota. Ohio State, leader of the Big Ten, faces Illinois. Other midwest games: Purdue Wisconsin, Iowa State-Kan- sas State; Manhattan Detroit; Michigan State-Indiana and Chi cago-O Oberlin.
 Tn the south, Tennessee, hoping for a spot in the Rose Bowl, risks its undefeated, unscored upon team against a weak Vanderbilt eleven, while Texas Aggies, another un- beaten eleven, plays Rice.
 In the far west, unbeaten but tied U. 0. l.. A. plays tough Santa Clara team in the big game of the day. Others are: Oregon State- California; Stanford Washington State; Colorado Brigham Young; Utah. Colorado State; Utah State- Wyoming.

last week with only a days notice Fenn was a bit jittery at Derby, but his work should show decided i'm. provement tomorrow.
 The rest of the lineup will be as usual, although Holmes may move over from the tackle position to end. Tom Cruess, 185 ID. tackle, who has been on the injured list, has returned and may see service Saturday. In this event, Holmes will go to end.
 Branford Unknown
 Little is known about Branford beyond the fact that for the past several seasons, Branford has been coming in both football and basket ball. A year ago, Branford whipped Hillhouse twice in basketball. Bran- ford has turned out several sterling football players in recent years, the most famous being Stewart Clancy, who played fullback at Holy Cross and later for the New York Giants. What Branford has been doing this year is not known up this way, as the team meets no opponents from this section. Two years ago Crosby defeated Branford 12-0. Last year the teams did not meet, as the game was scheduled for Branford the week of the hurricane, and most of Branford was under water.
 Tickets Distributed
 AS previously stated tickets were distributed in the grammar schools this week, to be sold to grammar school students for 10c. Reports coming in indicate that over 1000 grammar school students will be on hand. A new football will be given to some grammar school student whose ticket bears the lucky num- Der. Grammar school tickets as well as adult tickets may be ob- tained at Biener's Sport Shop. The game is scheduled to start at 2 10. m.
