BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, Aug. 1.-The United
States, in the opinion of John F.
Kennedy, 23-year-old son of Joseph
P. Kennedy, Ambassador to Eng
land, must always keep its arma-
ments equal to its commitments.
I'VE cannot tell any one to keep
out of our hemisphere" he wrote
in book published today, unless
our armamentS and the people be-
hind these ornaments are prepared
to back up the command, even to
the ultimate point of war"
Young Kennedy, Harvard grad
uate who studied under j. Harold
Laski at the University of London
and worked for his father in the
Embassy, called his book, why
England Slept" and summed up that
country's attitude before the war
with the words:

Jaysees Smear Hibbing
to Open Conference Race

With the opening quarter compare
lively young. Fullback Paul Prola went
off right tackle to cross the Hibbing
goal line standing up from yards out,
scoring the only marker of the game.
Joe Perko's kick for the extra point
was yards too low. The score came as
the climax to a 58-yard drive featured
by some nice gains by Prola and Half
backs Willie Grahek and Al Banks. 1t
took the three just 10 plays to travel the
distance.
Both teams made touchdowns that
didn't count, to even up any crying on
this score. Ely's came late in the sec
ond quarter when Banks shot a 20
yard pass to Prola who easily stepped
over the goal line, but an Ely player
was off side to nullify the play.
A short time later after an exchange
of punts, Prola was on the heaving end
of long pass that went directly into
the outstretched arms of Capain Zorich,
center for the Greyhounds, who raced
81 yards to cross the goal line without
an Ely man laying hand on him. The
officials, however, called the ball back
to the Hibbing As where they ruled a
Greyhound player had clipped Tony
Strukel from behind.
Not until the last four minutes did
Hibbing again look goal-ward bound,
when two long passes, Fullback Gelein
to End zenezino, good for 25 yards,
and Halfback Dave Munter to Sub
End Peterson, which picked up II
yards, took the ball from Hibbing's 25
to Ely's 38.
| Three incomplete heaveS in a row
followed and on the fourth attempt to
score via the air, End Frank Povhe
blocked the pass and the pig skin fell
into the encircling arms of Guard Peter
Handberg, who picked up II yards be-
fore he was stopped.

who hitherto dis credited any tale that
fish that size would lurk in the pools
in the local stream. Lee Boland re-
fused to buy the largest hook, in Me
loy's stock, about two and one-half
inches long, with a barb measuring
about an inch, claiming it was not
large enough for the fish he was going
to catch. Obtaining huge hook from
another store in town he went to the
river. Batting the hook with a clam
about four inches across, he soon
landed a seven-pounder However,
when he dressed it he found a five and

STATISTICS.

Stopping Hibbing's offensive drives
with clock-like precision, the Ely Junior
College football team officially opened
Memorial stadium, Friday night, with
a 6 to win over the Cardinals.
Coach Barney Banks crew had COM
plete mastery Of the situation except
for a brief few minutes in the final
quarter, and only lack Of reserve back
field players to spell the tired first
string kept the Vermilion range club
from heaping up three or four touch
down advantage.
Tomorrow night Ely will travel to
Virginia to engage the Greyhounds in
a game that may go long way in
determining the ultimate conference
champion. With Coach Bill Monats
squad numbering but nine lettermen
and repeatedly fairly light and beset
with injuries, Ely probably has an even
chance to polish off the 1889 winners
in their own back yard.
Coach Banks boys pounded by a
Hibbing team that out-weighed the
Elyites about 20 pounds per man, came
through the bruising battle without
serious injury, and all 13 of them will
be at full strength for crack at the
team that walked off with the crown
last year because Ely had little bad
luck over at Eveleth. The kickoff is

blankets, because there is less danger
of shrinkage or mating. Although
more expensive than laundering, it is
often worth the price for high grade
blankets. A well-equipped commercial
laundry may prevent shrinkage by
keeping the blanket stretched while it
dries and by using machines that will
not be too rough Many home washing
machines give the blankets too much
tumbling, making the fabric thick and
harsh and often shrinking it.

Ten is tender age, so perhaps
Anthony Thwaite can be pardoned
for liking the very thing that drove
him from the once peaceful English
countryside.
It's airplanes that Tony Graves,
and it was bombers and the threat
of more to come that prompted his
parents to choose the lesser of two
evils and let their only child risk an
Atlantic crossing.
An airliner droned over Chevy
Chase, Md, today and Tony dashed
from the home of his uncle and
aunt, Mr.. and Mrs. " Frank Coe,
and, shading his blue eyes with his
hand, stared skyward. He watched
the plane until it faded.
He likes them, said Mrs. Coe
with sad smile. She is an Eng

Tony, so far as is known, is the
first British refugee child to find
his way to the Washington area.
Before Europe's war actually got
under way in earnest Mrs. Coe sug-
gested to her sister, Mrs. Hartley
Thwaite, that Tony be sent over for
a visit.
Nothing came of that, but when
the fighting started Mrs. Thwaite
and her husband, a bank executive
now doubling in the home defense
fire corps, seriously considered
sending their son to the safety of
the United States.
But the sinking of the Athena
cooled the idea, and it was not until
AFRAID alarms rocked their subur-

that the Thwaites made their de-
cision

turned out to be lark, since the
crossing was without incident ex-
cept when the vessels convoy
veered from the course halfway and
went to the rescue of a sinking
ship.
Tony told his aunt that he and
the other children took their life
preservers along wherever they
went, and that "the things got
awful heavy" The youngster
travelled light, his principal be-
longings being kit containing his
favorite toys-miniature airplanes,
tanks and anti-aircraft guns.
Mrs. Coe met her nephew when

he was greatly impressed by the
