Ohio State University won the West

earlier in the campaign to hand the
Buckeyes their only previous loss.
Tom Harmon, Michigan's mighty

Elongated Banks McFadden, Glenn

1t was too much Clemson power

Michigan pulled "Old 83" out of the

Bisons Cross Final
Stripe After They
Block @. w. Punt
BY LEWIS F. ATCHISON.


A persistent, but ineffective
George Washington offensive ex-
ploded with the binding flash of a
supposedly dud cannon cracker yes
terday at Griffith Stadium, ripped a
gaping hole in Bucknell's cast-iron
defense and produced a first-period
touchdown that enabled the Colo
mails to turn back the stubborn
Bison eleven, 7-6, in an exhausting
game.
1t was the final collegiate game
of the season and the scant crowd
of 5000 huddled in the stands
whistled and beloved the accom-
paniment to the Colonials' first tri-
umph over the Pennsylvanians in
their six-game series.
This one drive, covering 73 yards
on half-dozen plays, was not suffi-
cient to squelch the I>verse PENN
sylvanians, for Bucknell in the sec
ond quarter took advantage of one
OF the games few breaks to squeeze
into the scoring column. But the
hard, square placement Walter Welc
had booted through the uprights for
the seventh George Washington
point sealed the Bisons' fate, as later
events proved.
Blocked Kick Aids Bisons.
Bushnell, its defense melting as
slowly as cake of ice, gave ground
before George Washington-gave
lots of it, 2l2 yards to be exact
but except for its one successful
thrust the downtown school couldn't
muster a scoring punch. With pay
dirt reckoning on several occasions,
1t suddenly found itself facing a
barbed, impenetrable defense.
But if the visitors defense was
good, George Washington's was bet
ter in holding the enemy backs to II
yards and three first downs through
out the afternoon. But for Billy
Richardson's blocked kick and
Bucknell's subsequent recovery in
the second period. the Pennsyl-
vanians would have been white
washed. Richardson, trying to punt
from his 30, saw Johnny McElhany
thrust his 184-pound frame in front
OF the ball, scoop it up, and run to
the 20.
At that point two Colonials hit
Johnny with a teesh-rattling tackle
and the pigskin was Jared loose
from his grasp. Luckily Boner was
around to fall on it and Bucknell
TOOK the ball on the 20. Frank
Funair slanted off tackle for eight
yards. and on two more smashes at

Iunshakeable faith of their individual

unshakeable faith of their individual adherentS.
 In Italy, though there is nominal peace between church and state, there are deep underlying conflicts, especially over the training of chil- dren and the marriage laws. The increase of anti-Semitism and Ger man-style racial beliefs in Italy as German influence mounts there have been drawn repeated protests from high officials of the Catholic Church. A Universal Church can scarcely accept the curious racial doctrnies of Germany, which Mussolini ap- pears to have adopted as his own.
 And the destruction of Catholic Youth and Catholic Action organiza- tions in Italy, leaving the entire training of youth an exclusive state concern, has destroyed much of the church-state understanding of the Concordat of 1929. The situation of the Catholic Church in Italy itself is unsatisfactory and loaded with potential conflicts.
 Even in Spain, traditional strong hold of the Catholic Church, a Jesuit editor was recently arrested by Die tator Franco, and the inevitable con- flict between the totalitarianism and religion may lie beneath the surface.
 Christianity is fighting defensive battle over large part of Europe today.

 London, June 14.-The attack on Christianity in Germany is not only physical, in the form of prosecutions, but philosophical.
 There is concerted effort to un- dermine Christian belief and sup plant 1t with a new organism. This philosophical attack is led by Alfred Rosenberg, prominent Nazi editor, and a mentor of Adolf Hit Ter, whose views on religious ques- tionS he is believed to have greatly influenced.
 The attack takes two lines: CD Rejection of the so-called "semit- ic" elements in the Bible, including all of the Old and much of the New Testaments. CD The effort to cre- ate a new "Germanic Christianity" which old Christians insist is merely neo-paganism.
 SCIENCE
 AND RELIGION
 These Nazi philosophers "prove scientifically" that Jesus was not of Jewish, but of Aryan blood. In an outline for German -Nordic reli- zion, Felix Fischer-D -Dodeleben says:
 T am certain that if Jesus could see what the Four Evangelists and the Apostle Paul have made of him, he would cry out with dismay, What have you foolish men made-a God of me-" In later pages this author says that the early Saxon books rep resented Jesus as stern Hitler nature"
 That is typical approach. Typ ical also is that of Prof. Ernst Berg mann of the University of Leipzig. He proclaims the era of world reli- gionS at an end, and says:
 "A people which has returned to its blood and soil, can no longer tol- crate religion in its character which makes the scriptures of the Jews the basis of its gospel We must base ourselves on the Holy Scriptures which are clearly written in German hearts. Our cry is, Away from Rome and Jerusalem! Back to our native German Faith in pres ent-day form ="
 Thus the churches of Germany, hedged between physical perse- cution of which the Imprisonment of Rev. Martin Niemoller is a sym bol, and a deluge of propaganda for new German religion, are facing difficult times.
 Leading Nazis who insist that penalties on professional religionists are inflicted only as result of meddling in politics, were three times answered by the late Pope Plus XI, who said, in a March, 1897 Encyclical, we know that heavy persecution does exist. Not often before has there been persecution so heavy, so formidable, so grievous
