The All-American Is just a
prep school for the all-stars. We
checked up on all the all-Star
games since Thanksgiving and
there were exactly around 152,
allowing for Shrinkage in transit.
But there is no use arguing be-
cause anything will taste good
with cream and sugar on it.
February and March will be
practically incognito, but spring
practice starts in April. That
means the freshman all stars
will leap from butter-tub to
butter-tub and wave their feet
in the air like wet reaches.
Don't be surprised if Southern
California shows up for the next
Notre Dame game in spangled
tights.
We have a ticket for an all
star game that we didn't use. 1t
doesn't seem to be on our list.
We have called up the bureau
of missing all-star games to find
out.
We will probably see one some
day out Of the car window while
going through Perth Amboy.
The all-stars have no physical
or scholastic requirements. Ten
box tops will qualify you.

The Suez
New York Times)

tNeW YORK IlmeS)
The Tevere of Rome shows how easy it would be
to block the SueZ Canal in the event of war. single
bomb it says, would do the trick and the first move
of the italian air force would be drop that bomb
passing ship in such that the vessel would
turn over and touch bottom. The Tevere is
tional and rather irresponsible Sheet but from
any italian this is surprising suggestion. For
of the Suez it is Italy The whole italian for
share of the control of the canal is that it is Itay
only possible route to its new empire, and italian ship
ping through that desert waterway is second only to
Great Britain's. With the Suez blocked Rome would
be, in fact completely cut off from Ethiopia. De-
prved of help and essential supplies the italian garr
and colonists would be at the mercy of the
tves, and nothing would deter the tribes from rising
stop other Power from selling possession of
this still uhpacified territory Indeed the defense of
Ethiopia is OF the Nightmares of the Italian Gen
eral Staff which faces the certainty that in major
war Italy would stand to lose this costly conquest.
Great Britain has alternative. route to India
around the Cape of Good Hope. This road is longer
and less convenient but since the Ethiopian war it
has been increasingly used and developed For Italy
however the Suez the sole gate to her East African
empire. Except by air there is other way from
Rome to Adds Ababa Therefore if a single bomb
could close that gate it would be dropped one would
suppose by enemy of Italy In any case the oraces
of country locked behind the three doors the Med
iterranean should be the last to remind the foreign
doorkeepers how those doors and how easily
they could be barred.
