Luthers Gain
Another One

II was a much-improved Pacific
Lutheran eleven that soundly
spanked the highly rated Linfield
Cats Saturday night, n TO l3.
The win assures the Lutherans Of
a certain tie for the Washington
Intercollegiate conference crown.
Again II was the slingshot
right arm of Mary Tommerxik
that provided the scoring
'oomph." The stocky half
back made good Ia of his rs
losses for a total Of $50 yards.
Even the touted Ted Hippi
couldn't stop the Glad ether at
tack when II started functioning
early in the second period. sigurd-
sen made a diving catch of a IL
yard pass to put the ball on the
Linfield rs. On the next play
Earl Plat ambled over the goal
line and yanked the pigskin out
Of the air for the first touchdown.
Sigurdsen missed the conversion.
OREGONIANS SCORE
Then the Oregonians recovered
a tumble on the Glad 14-yard
marker and followed 1t up with a
touchdown. Their place kick was
wide.
Receiving the kickoff, the Luth-
Grams began a wholesale lombard
ment of passes. And when the
smoke cleared, Bronson was lying
over the final stripe with the ball
safely under his chin. Sig leaped
over for the extra point.
A few seconds later big
Merv Harshman intercepted
Hippi pass and Numbered %
yards for the third Gladiator
touchdown. Taylor made good
the conversion.
The second Oregon touchdown
came as the result of a 3s-yard
sustained march with Ted Hippi
carrying the offensive burden.
The fourth canto had barely got
ten under way when wide-awake
Harshman again grabbed a Cat
pass and jockeyed the ball back
AS yards to the Linfield rs. Three
passes and a two-yard plunge
made it q to IS for the Olsonites.

And It's reliably reported that Eng
land and France have been urging
Poland to compromise.
One dif11culty the Poles face is
their certain knowledge that they
would have to grant Germany a
right OF way across the Polish Corri-
dor, which now separates the Reich
from Danzig and German East
Prussia, and their great fear is that
they would lose the Corridor alto
gether
This would make Poland land
locked nation by cutting it off from
the Baltic. 1t is an old saying that
he who controls the mouth of the
Vistula River-that is, the port of
Danzig-controls Eastern Europe
Only the other day Polish President
Moscicki declared that the Corridor
and seacoast were "the air and sun
of our existence as a state"
The Poles also expect Germany to
reach for the rich coal area of Tes-
chen, which Poland took over when

They sum the position up by declar-

Polish Controversy
With Germany Covers
More Than Free Civ
Return Of Donzig g Would
Not Solve General
European Crisis
By DEWITT MACKENZIE,

Associated Press Foreisn Affairs Writer.
NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE grav-
est aspect of the Danzig trouble is
that, even If Poland could bring her
self to agree to the return of the
Free City to the sovereignty of the
Reich, this wouldn't solve the gen.
eral European crisis which has
produced the Halt Hitler" cam
paign of the Anglo French brother
hood.
Equally true, such disposition Of
the Danzig affair wouldn't end the
German Polish controversy, which
is of long standing and covers a
much broader field than this COL
orful port of the Baltic.
Danzig is just another problem
child which has been left on Eu-
ropes doorstep in the storm. What
happens to Danzig, while important,
f1sn't likely in itself to affect decis-
ively the trend of general affairs
at this late juncture.
Danzig Isolated Incident.
From the viewpoint of the Anglo
French bloc, Herr Hitler's demand
for the return of Danzig is merely
an isolated incident in drive to
establish politico- economic hege-
mony over all Europe. They feel
award of Danzig to Germany would
not Halt Hitler" but only increase
the momentum of his push.
The Poles charge that Hitler's
move is part of concrete plan to
crush their country and make it a
vassal state.
This, then, is the position as the
Anglo-French contingent and the
Berlin-Rome axis line up for an
other test of strength. The Nazi
leader appears to be deliberately
forcing showdown on Danzig, and
according to many of his followers
he expects to get what he wants
without fighting, as he did in the
case of Austria, Czecho- Slovakia
